Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2199

Even as a renowned apothecary in the Firmament, he couldn’t help but shudder in disbelief at the sight before him.

He had never seen or heard of the main ingredient, the Grass of God King, before, so it was one thing for him to accept it. However, the other ingredients were simply too inconceivable.

Putting everything aside, just the sixth ingredient, the Saliva of the Azure Serpent Dragon, was one of the most poisonous substances in the world. Even God Kings wouldn’t be able to withstand it if they came in contact with it. Yet, to use it to forge pills …

Would one really not be poisoned to death?

There was also the fourteenth ingredient, the Hundred Leaves Fragrant Flower. Even though it wasn’t poisonous, it had the ability to freeze one’s zhenqi, preventing one from using their cultivation.

Shouldn’t a pill that harnessed sufficient spiritual energy be added into the formula to help one achieve a breakthrough? If one’s zhenqi stagnated after consuming such a pill, how was one supposed to cultivate?

Putting aside achieving a breakthrough, one might even die from it!

There was also the twenty-first ingredient, the Pureblooded Dragon’s Blood. Even half a drop of the Pureblooded Dragon’s Blood would cause one to explode!

With his many years of experience in pill forging, he could tell with a single look that this wasn’t a pill formula at all!

It was like stewing meat. If one added in pepper, onion, ginger, and garlic, it would enhance the flavor and make it more delicious. However, if one added in half a jin of ashes, a liter of soil, and half a box of wood shavings … how was one supposed to eat it?

It didn’t match at all!

“I have already gone through it once, and there’s no problem at all!” Zhang Xuan nodded.

“You went through it once?” Fu Jiangchen scratched his head in agitation.

Was he really that careless, or did he have some kind of misunderstanding toward pills?

No matter how formidable an apothecary was, in order to prevent wastage of medicinal herbs when creating a new pill formula, they would have to go through dozens of simulations before forging it.

Yet … you went through it once, and there’s no problem at all?

Why does it feel like child’s play to you?

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be able to forge it.”

Seeing through Fu Jiangchen’s worry, Zhang Xuan chuckled.

Even the Library of Heaven’s Path had confirmed that there was no problem with the formula.

“Since you’ve said so, I’ll give it a try. However, I have never forged such a pill before. If there’s a mistake, all of the medicinal herbs will be destroyed!”

Seeing how confident Zhang Xuan was, Fu Jiangchen knew that he couldn’t dissuade him.

If the pill forging was unsuccessful, the pill forging would be destroyed………. Every single one of the God King Breakthrough Pill was extremely valuable……………

“It won’t be damaged!” Zhang Xuan smiled and said, “As long as Brother Fu follows the steps properly when refining pills, there won’t be any problems!”

“Alright!” Fu Jiangchen nodded.

The other party’s alchemy skills were better than his, perhaps he could really come up with a refining method that he didn’t understand …

Anyway, he was just helping out.

“Then … let’s begin!” Zhang Xuan said.

He only had half a day, and more than two hours had already passed. If he didn’t hurry up, he wouldn’t be able to make it back in time to participate in the competition.

“Yes!”

Fu Jiangchen flicked his wrist and took out a massive cauldron. With a wave of his hand, a ball of flames descended from the sky and began burning furiously.

His special furnace for refining medicinal pills had already reached Divine King level!

As for the flame, it was a heavenly flame that could easily refine God King-tier medicinal herbs.

“Thank you so much …”

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the flames and cauldron. He flicked his wrist and took out a huge pile of medicinal herbs.

He had obtained quite a few medicinal herbs in the Sky of Drifting Specter through Qi Ling-er, and he had designed the pill formula based on the medicinal herbs that he had in hand. Thus, there was no need for him to search for them.

Looking at the medicinal herbs floating in the air, Fu Jiangchen suddenly frowned. “Young friend, you only have a single set of medicinal herbs?”

Most of the medicinal herbs that were floating in front of him were of the same stalk.

Under normal circumstances, one would have to prepare three sets of medicinal herbs in order to make up for any mistakes. However, if there was only a single set of medicinal herbs, there was a good chance that he wouldn’t be able to make up for it in time.

“A single set is more than enough. I’m in a rush, so I only have one chance to forge the pill,” Zhang Xuan replied.

“You’re in a rush?”

Fu Jiangchen was rendered speechless.

The greatest taboo when it came to pill forging was to be impatient, let alone a pill of such quality.

The pill formula was a mess, and the young man only had a single set of medicinal herbs. More importantly, he was still so impatient.

Are you sure that you want me to forge a pill for you?

It was just a moment ago that he had thought that the young man before him possessed unparalleled skill in pill forging, but at this very moment, he couldn’t help but think that the young man before him was a little unreliable.

“Let’s begin!”

The young man said. Following which, the young man flicked his wrist and threw a medicinal herb into his cauldron.

Fu Jiangchen’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment.

The young man was already putting in medicinal herbs before the cauldron was even fully heated up … Not to mention, his movements were so rusty.

Why did it feel more and more like he didn’t know how to forge pills at all?

“Alright, I’ll tell you how to forge the pill. Put in the medicinal herbs.”

Seeing that he had nearly scalded his own hands, Zhang Xuan knew that pill forging wasn’t that easy. Thus, he stopped himself from putting in more medicinal herbs.

“The cauldron isn’t fully heated up yet.”

Fu Jiangchen couldn’t help but ask.

“There are some medicinal herbs that don’t need to be properly heated up. If the temperature is too high, it might actually cause the opposite effect,” Zhang Xuan explained. “Two breaths later, put in the Woodleaf Grass and Golden Antelope Leaf. Add these two items into the cauldron and increase the temperature of the flames by seven percent. After which, use the Wood Restoration Spirit Restoration Technique to add in the Woodleaf Grass.”

Zhang Xuan swiftly sent a telepathic message over.

“You know of my Wood Restoration Spirit Restoration Technique?”

All of a sudden, Fu Jiangchen’s heart jolted in astonishment.

The Wood Restoration Spirit Restoration Technique was one of the rarest pill forging techniques that he had ever practiced. In order to learn it, he had spent more than a decade learning it.

However, due to how rarely-seen it was, he had never used it before. As time passed, he had nearly forgotten about it.

Who could have thought that the other party would actually know of his Wood Restoration Spirit Restoration Technique?

Knowing that this wasn’t the time to be asking about it, Fu Jiangchen gritted his teeth and began placing medicinal herbs into the cauldron one after another. At the same time, he channeled his zhenqi into the cauldron, causing the temperature of the cauldron to rise higher and higher.

Tzzzzz!

The medicinal herbs were placed into the cauldron according to the time that the other party had instructed, and the medicinal herbs that looked like they would burst into flames at any moment were able to fuse perfectly with one another.

“This … is the Perfect Pill Forging Technique?”

Fu Jiangchen couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

The purpose of using flames and cauldrons in pill forging was to ensure that the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs could be fused together as best as possible. However, due to the different flames and different forging techniques, there were many medicinal herbs that couldn’t be fused together as expected. Under normal circumstances, it was already good enough for the medicinal herbs to fuse together within a certain range.

But the timing and forging technique that the young man before him was telling him …

To think that the young man was actually able to fuse all of the medicinal herbs together perfectly!

This was truly the Perfect Pill Forging Technique!

This was a legendary technique that even God Monarchs would find difficult to pull off, and yet, it was actually coming from the mouth of a young man!
