Chapter 642: Matchless Dao of Alchemy

Although there were public recipes for ointments circulating in the Nine Worlds, their effects were quite limited. Only the secret and exclusive recipes had powerful effects; some could even revive the dead! [1. More of a common expression meaning extremely potent, or it could be literal in this case. Who knows?]

Outside of the owners, no outsider was able to create these types of ointments. Even if they had the same amount of ingredients, outsiders wouldn’t know when to insert a particular ingredient or what the correct level of heat is.

“Brother Sun, this… is a bit unsuitable for this circ.u.mstance.”

This challenge was too difficult; anyone with a sliver of common sense would know that this was impossible. How could an outsider refine special ointments?

“Bring it here.” Li Qiye calmly told the alchemist monarch without batting an eye.

The alchemist didn’t dare to believe his own ears. He only said it to make it difficult for Li Qiye and wanted to attack his arrogant att.i.tude earlier. It was quite inappropriate of Li Qiye to ask their Demon King to be his driver, so the alchemist resorted to mentioning this impossible task. Who would have thought that Li Qiye would actually agree?

The alchemist skeptically handed the ingredients over to Li Qiye.

Li Qiye looked at the batch of ingredients before him and laughed. Afterward, he sniffed the medicinal fragrances. There were dozens of types of ingredients, but Li Qiye immediately knew what they were as well as their medicinal properties and method of refinement after a quick whiff.

This task couldn’t trouble Li Qiye. For millions of years, Li Qiye had tried many different recipes, especially during the era of the Alchemy G.o.d. The two of them had crafted and attempted countless recipes.

Later on through the endless river of time, Li Qiye experimented even more and had taught many alchemists.

Although the alchemist monarch’s recipe wasn't his own unique mix, Li Qiye knew how to refine it since he understood the properties of the ingredients.

With regards to alchemy, no one would dare to refute Li Qiye if they knew any better, at least, in the present era.

Madam Zi Yan and the other monarchs watched Li Qiye with bated breaths. Ancient Pine had told them of Li Qiye’s pill refinement process and how heaven-defying it was.

They all felt that if he indeed had such marvelous abilities, then he would for sure be above the four current alchemy prodigies of the Stone Medicine World. They held high hopes for him, so if he failed, then they would be very dejected.

After inhaling the medicinal scents, Li Qiye took out the Myriad Heavenly Cauldron.

“Boom!” As it landed, Li Qiye controlled the Fire Source inside the cauldron to spew out its hottest flame. This incomparable flame could melt everything in the world, even divine metals.

When the flame poured out from the cauldron, Madam Zi Yan and the other monarchs couldn’t handle the terrifying heat and had to back up.

This hottest flame suddenly turned into a pot that resembled a tea kettle, giving off a very substantial vibe as if it was real. The entire kettle was red from the scorching heat.

Li Qiye threw all the ingredients into the kettle where they instantly melted a second later.

The alchemist monarch was stunned: “What kind of refinement is this?!” He felt that this was going too far.

The other monarchs who weren’t alchemists and Madam Zi Yan were shocked as well. As cultivators from the Stone Medicine World, they all knew a thing or two about the common procedures of creating pills and ointments.

These things couldn’t be created by just throwing the ingredients inside all at once and refine them together. Most of the time, it had to be in a specific order in order to not diminish the medicinal properties of the ingredients.

But now, Li Qiye was foregoing all of that for his own method, resulting in them becoming dumbfounded.

“Zsshh!” Right when the group was stunned, the monstrous fire in the pot suddenly liquefied and submerged the ingredients as if it was boiling water.
