Chapter 190 Refining Muscle Firming Pills

When the blue flame rose from Long Chen’s palm, the entire immortal cave was lit up gorgeously and warmly .

“What a beautiful flame!” Tang Wan-er was bewitched by that flame . That was the first time she had ever seen such a beautiful flame . It looked just like a ball of blazing water .

Long Chen smiled slightly . After he had gained control over the beast flame’s rune, his control over it had risen greatly . He could control it smoothly with just a thought and wouldn’t need to use too much Spiritual Strength .

That previous Flame Leopard beast flame he had previously used required him to use his Spiritual Strength to keep it suppressed . It was like a disobedient animal . If he didn’t keep it suppressed, it would attack him .

But now that he controlled his new beast flame’s rune, the beast flame had now essentially accepted Long Chen as its master and wouldn’t resist him at all .

As for his control over the power and rhythm of the flame, naturally it was now completely smooth and effortless .

Long Chen even praised himself a bit inside . This kind of crazy accomplishment was something only a genius could have thought of . If that crazy idea paid off then it made that person a genius . But if they failed, then they would be called madmen .

So in this world, geniuses and madmen were all cut from the same cloth . They were only differentiated by their luck .

Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu were quietly watching . This was the first time they had ever seen someone refine pills .

That was because alchemists didn’t like to have others around them when refining . One reason was because they were afraid of being disturbed, but the other was because they were afraid of others secretly learning their techniques .

Long Chen of course didn’t care about that last one in the slightest . He was completely focused, slowly warning the furnace . That was an extremely fundamental step . If the furnace wasn’t gradually heated up, at the final moment there was the danger of a furnace explosion . Heating it up first would also extend the pill furnace’s lifespan .

Once the pill furnace’s temperature rose to the right level, Long Chen began to throw in the medicinal pills . Controlling the flame, he refined out their pure essence .

This part was very dependant on skill . The strength of the flame had to be just right, and the alchemist also had to be experienced and knowledgeable about the heat required by the medicinal ingredients .

If the flame was too weak, it would require a longer time to refine . But more importantly, part of the essence would be lost due to that extended time .

And of course if the flame was too strong and surpa.s.sed the medicinal ingredient’s heat limit, it would immediately turn to ashes and your work would have been for nothing .

But all that was nothing to Long Chen who possessed a Pill G.o.d’s memories . When it came to knowledge of the critical temperatures of medicinal ingredients, there was no one in this world who surpa.s.sed him .

Now that he controlled the Flame Salamander’s beast flame’s rune, this blue flame was no different at all to his Core Flame . With his powerful Spiritual Strength, he could control it down to the finest detail .

His refining speed was extremely fast . After refining a couple of the medicinal ingredients into powder, he told Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu to take out a clean piece of glazed paper and placed the medicinal powders on top of it .

Once they cooled off, he gave them specific proportions to split them into and to them wrap them up .

As they carefully followed his instructions, he refined the second set of medicinal ingredients .

They had only just accomplished his task when he finished refining the second set .

He had them keep this set of medicinal ingredients separate from the rest and to wrap them up as well . This repeated itself seven times before Long Chen finished refining all the medicinal ingredients . Long Chen was still completely fine, but it was actually Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu who were sweating .

That was because they were too nervous . After all, these were medicinal pills, and the slightest mistake would cause failure . And so they had to be extremely careful and meticulous .

“Ok, I’ve finished the refinement part . Now there are seven sets of medicinal powders . Pour each set into the pill furnace in accordance to the order they were refined . As for the timing, wait for my signal . I’m going to continue,” said Long Chen .

“Wait a moment Long Chen!” exclaimed Tang Wan-er .

“What?”

“I’m too nervous,” Tang Wan-er said with some embarra.s.sment . She was afraid to make a mistake .

Long Chen laughed, “What are you worried about? Even if it fails, it’ll be my responsibility . Just treat it as how you played house as a child . ”

Hearing Long Chen laugh, Tang Wan-er relaxed quite a bit . Looking at the small ball of medicine in her hand, she saw it really was just like a small ball of sand she used to play with .

A flame burst into existence in his hand . Terrifying heat soared out as he placed it into his pill furnace .

“I’m starting . Release the first bundle . ”

Tang Wan-er nodded and carefully poured the medicinal powders into the pill furnace . As Long Chen’s flame energy circulated, those powders began to coalesce, becoming a whole, liquid ent.i.ty . It was extremely mystical .

What she didn’t know was that those ‘powders’ weren’t really powders, but the essences of the medicinal ingredients .

Long Chen was entirely focused on the pill furnace . He was extremely solemn . This was the first time he attempted refining a third tier medicinal pill . Although he knew the pill formula, he had no experience in it . He couldn’t be the slightest bit careless .

Even stronger Pill Cultivators couldn’t keep a one hundred percent success rate, let alone Long Chen who was refining it for the first time .

Looking at the completely focused Long Chen, Tang Wan-er was a bit bewitched . This Long Chen was exceptionally attractive . He was much more reliable and steady than he was normally when he was a mischievous rascal .

“Next . ”

Long Chen’s light voice gave Tang Wan-er a fright . Her mind had wandered away . Luckily there was Qing Yu to the side who was prepared . She quickly released the second set of medicinal powders into the pill furnace .

Tang Wan-er blushed, looking at Qing Yu apologetically . But Qing Yu only winked at her without the slightest bit of rebuke .

Now her face turned even redder . Hastily dispelling her distracting thoughts, she focused completely on Long Chen’s pill furnace, not daring to even look at Long Chen’s face .

The main reason Long Chen had had Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu remain behind was because he wanted to focus completely on controlling his flame and keeping track of the changes in the medicinal powders .
