965 Alchemy (2/2)
”Looks like… he's failed a lot!”
Fang Yuan shook his head and went to the bronze furnace.
After wasting so many top materials, this created a mountain of pressure on Han Yunfeng.
”Eh?” He looked for a moment and was quite happy to find that there were just enough materials for one last attempt.
”Just right… you've helped me a few times before, so I'll help you become famous. This was my intention in coming here today,” Fang Yuan said to the unconscious Han Yunfeng. Then he started the pill furnace.
”For high-tier pills and medicines, you need to mix in Aural Dao at the end. This is the hardest step, and it seems like Han Yunfeng also failed at this step. What does Aural Dao refer to? Of course, it's the rhythm of a Great Dao!”
For an alchemist, capturing Aural Dao and refining it into pills and medicines was extremely difficult.
However, this was not difficult for Fang Yuan at all.
”The Zerg… Empress brain nucleus!”
He picked up a sparkling white crystal that had a white tissue sealed within.
Without hesitating, he tossed it into the furnace.
Demon God-level True Spirit power seeped out to directly control the furnace fire.
Soon after, he tossed in other high-end materials.
Every material was highly valuable, and there was no market. Fang Yuan had only seen them in textbooks before, but even so, his hands did not shake at all.
After a while, the numerous medicinal fluids started to fuse, and the pill furnace began rumbling.
”This is the most important step. I'll refine in Aural Dao now!”
Fang Yuan smiled lightly as he channeled the power of his Great Dao. A heavenly flower appeared and entered the pill furnace.
Clang!
After a loud explosion, the pill furnace opened up and emitted a five-colored light.
The scent of medicine began spreading, and the colors suddenly began changing before finally turning purple.
”Come out!”
With a wave of his hand, a ball of purple liquid flew out from the pill furnace and into a test tube. Soon after, he stepped forward and kicked Han Yunfeng awake without any trace of politeness.
”Hey! Teacher Han, wake up!”
Han Yunfeng grumbled and turned over.
After all, he was still a Mystic. Even if he had overdrawn his energy, causing him to pass out, he would mostly recover after resting a while.
”Ah… Lin Meng, you're back. I couldn't find you before, so I experimented on my own. The result was, ah… I wasted most of my materials. Fortunately, I have the last batch… sigh…”
He widened his eyes, looked at the pill furnace, and then the empty box at the side. ”Where is my Empress brain nucleus?”
”Here!”
Fang Yuan waved the purple test tube in his hands. ”Refinement of the high-tier brain development drug using the ancient method has succeeded! If you don't mind it, I hope that you'll put my name down as the second author!”
”Succeeded?”
Han Yunfeng rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dreaming.
…
The core of East Dragon University, in a conference room.
A projector turned on and displayed several life-like 3d images while a group sat around a round table.
In front of them, the screen shone brightly, displaying several fragmented scenes from Moon Jaw Lake.
If Fang Yuan were here, he would be very surprised.
This was because these Undead Immortals had methods to monitor the entire planet!
After a long time, an Undead Immortal began to speak. ”These are the images that the Heavenly Eye captured…
”I have to say Wu Wudi is getting out of hand. I think he needs to undergo a psychological evaluation. Otherwise, the greater his ability, the greater the harm! I can't believe he instigated the murder of a fellow student. Does he have any human nature or respect for the law?”
”And this Lin Meng's admission data was very ordinary. To reach Golden Core in such a short time, he must be hiding a secret. Especially that magical weapon which instantly killed three Golden Core cultivators at the same time. Interesting, very interesting. I would like to research him,” said a red-haired Undead Immortal.
”Unfortunately… the Heavenly Eye is the result of our latest research, and its performance isn't stable yet. There aren't any records of what happened from the start. But with the other students' testimonies, we know most of it. We know that Wu Wudi was at fault, but he has already advanced to Nascent Soul. We'll give him a warning and remove his professor status!” said the old man sitting at the head of the table said.
”As for the Wings of the Sky, haha… the exploration regulations state that it belongs to Lin Meng. If he donates it, it'll belong to our university. If Sky University dares to send someone over, tell them to look for me!”
Even though the old man looked kind, his words had a domineering edge to it.
”About Lin Meng, is the report out yet?”
On the right, a white-robed Undead Immortal who looked like a researcher said, ”We've investigated his DNA and psyche waves. There are no abnormalities. It's not a method of the cosmic lifeforms… However, we haven't discovered this child's secret yet. As for his spiritual roots development… he's already at Golden Core. Without looking at the sea of consciousness, I can't figure it out!”
”It seems like he's had a fortuitous encounter!” said the old man on the head seat. ”In any case… as long as he's human, he's one of our allies. Let's broaden our outlook. A person's ability has its limits after all. Later on, he might even actively choose to join our research!”
”Principal, there's a new situation!” All of a sudden, an Undead Immortal's expression changed. He whispered something to the principal.
”What?” The principal's eyes widened into large circles, and he suddenly swung his hand. ”Send out my orders to set this student's file as top secret. All those involved in this matter are to remain silent!”
