Fu Yuan Sheng’s face flashed with different expressions very quickly. Finally, giving a long sigh, he said, “Though this man is a little arrogant, he does indeed have a talent in alchemy that corresponds with his level of arrogance. I had previously thought to gift him with a rare opportunity, yet never imagined that… ai!”
He raised his clasped hands in Ling Han’s direction in apology and said, “Young Master Han, please don’t take his actions to heart.”
Ling Han smiled softly and said, “It’s fine.” This time, because of Fu Yuan Sheng, he would not pursue the issue, but if He Lin dared to act so pompous in front of him again, he would definitely shatter all the teeth in the latter’s mouth!
“Then let’s begin!”
Fu Yuan Sheng had already brought all the medicinal ingredients Ling Han had requested for, and Ling Han had also taken out the Second Star Gra.s.s.
All the people here were Black Grade alchemists, so how could they not recognize the Second Star Gra.s.s. A few of them instantly looked resentful—they were actually called here to observe a young junior concoct the Refres.h.i.+ng Pill? This was practically an insult to them!
Unfortunately, they did not have a father who was also a Black Grade high level alchemist. Thus, though they were slightly displeased with Fu Yuan Sheng’s actions, they dared not express that displeasure. However, their faces had all turned a bit sour.
When Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan saw the behavior of the others, both of them felt the urge to draw out their weapons to drive these people out. They actually dared to doubt Young Master Han? At the same time, Zhang Wei Shan also felt a bit of shame, for he had also doubted Ling Han before.
Ling Han did not bother himself with worrying over what the others were thinking. As the Alchemy Emperor, what need was there for him to obtain the respect of other alchemists?
He grabbed the alchemy furnace and began to toss various medicinal ingredients into it.
“Does this brat actually know how to concoct alchemical pills? How can he simply toss in so many different ingredients all at once?”
“That’s right. The first step of the concoction process is purification, and different ingredients require different levels of heat to be purified. If they are all thrown in at once, the only result would be that all ingredients would be damaged.”
“Forget it, just take it as wasting a bit of our time.”
A few of the alchemists present could not hold themselves back from mumbling complaints to each other quietly. It was not that they did not trust Fu Yuan Sheng, just that Ling Han was really too young. Moreover, in their eyes, his actions were simply too reckless.
They were not the only ones feeling doubtful. Even Fu Yuan Sheng, Zhu He Xin, and Zhang Wei Shan were extremely surprised, for the purification of the medicinal ingredients was the first step to concocting an alchemical pill. It was also a very crucial step. Could it be that Ling Han would cause a mess-up from the very first step?
It was really too bad that Li Si Chan was not present. She had previously watched the whole process of Ling Han concocting an alchemical pill from start to finish. Purification was only a piece of cake to him.
After tossing in seven different ingredients, Ling Han’s hands trembled, and instantly, flames gushed out. His figure began to circle around the furnace and struck the furnace with his palms repeatedly.
“Weng, weng, weng, tong, tong, tong.”
From within the furnace, steam instantly gushed out. A herbal fragrance also began to spread out within the room.
“What?!” All of the alchemists in the room widened their eyes in shock at the exact same moment, expressions of absolute disbelief on their faces. They all looked as if they had just seen a ghostly apparition.
“Master, what’s wrong with all of you?” Qi Zhan Tai asked in confusion. She had just barely entered into the field of alchemy, and had only just learnt the basic theoretical knowledge, thus she had no idea what everyone was so flabbergasted about.
“G.o.ds, seven different ingredients really can be purified at the same time… am I dreaming?” One of them gasped in shock before Zhang Wei Shan could manage to answer.
“All of these seven ingredients require different temperatures to be purified, and it should have been impossible to purify them all at once. But this brat used a very intriguing technique. It seems like he has split a single furnace into seven parts, and the temperature in each separate part is different, allowing for the simultaneous purification of these seven ingredients to be possible.”
“Amazing!”
They slowly regained their composure, though their faces still could not hide the admiration they were feeling.
“But this does not appear to have much meaning,” one of the alchemists said hesitatingly after a while. After all, he was not capable of accomplis.h.i.+ng such a feat, so the tone he used to voice out his evaluation lacked a bit of confidence.
“Indeed!” Even Fu Yuan Sheng nodded, “Being able to purify all seven ingredients at the same time is indeed an amazing ability, but to purify the ingredients one by one would only expend a bit more time.”
