116 Pill Making Genius, Part Two (1/2)
“Deal.” Zhao Feng and Old Man Guan soon came to an agreement.
On the side, Princess Yn Mengxiang and Yun Yao couldn’t help but sweat for Zhao Feng.
Vice-Head Gan was one of the best pill masters in the Clan and he had authority on the same level as an Elder. Even inner disciples and Deacons were respectful to him.
“I obviously won’t go back on my word. Yun Yao and Princess Yun Mengxiang can be the witnesses,” Old Man Guan smiled.
From his point of view, Zhao Feng was a bit too arrogant, and right now, he could stop the latter from fighting a losing battle, while making him understand that there was still stuff to be learned.
Old Man Guan’s questions were mainly about the Beginners Guide for Pill Making, not the Pill Flame Heart Manual, mostly because the latter was much too hard for a beginner and Old Man Guan didn’t want to purposely trick him.
In reality, when Old Man Guan gave the two books to Zhao Feng, he only expected the latter to familiarize himself with the books and not understand everything. The fact that Zhao Feng said that he had learned it all made Old Man Guan have his own doubts, since the youth had only taken a few days.
Hmph! He had seen geniuses, but even then, those people had only managed to learn a small amount in that amount of time.
“The first question: What is pill making?” Old Man Guan started off with the easiest question.
“Pill making is gathering the essence out of the item and condensing it. The importance of pill making is the ‘making’, one must have the help of a pill flame…”
Zhao Feng not only answered Old Man Guan’s question, he also added a lot more information.
The first question was extremely simple and no one was surprised that Zhao Feng could answer it, but the second question was much harder.
“Talk about choosing the resources of pill making,” Old Man Guan said calmly.
“Every plant has their own attributes and elements in the world, so their essences are all different. Therefore, when one tries to combine or merge them, it is extremely complicated…”
Zhao Feng answered smoothly and a vast amount of knowledge appeared in his mind.
“What does one need to be careful about when controlling their pill flame?”
This question was extremely hard for a newbie.
“Hehe, before one reaches the True Spirit Realm, pill makers actually don’t have their own pill flame. Therefore, they need to find items to help ignite the pill flame. For example, the flames from burning coal could be used create pills, but their tier won’t be high. Items of the fire element create a higher tier when burned…”
Zhao Feng’s response was still casual and he could say up to one thousand words in one breath.
Inside Old Man’s Guan’s gaze was joy and excitement. Yun Yao was also surprised; she clearly knew that Zhao Feng was only a beginner, but this question was deep. It looked like any question regarding knowledge couldn’t get past Zhao Feng.
After a certain point in time, Old Man Guan’s questions started to head towards the Pill Flame Heart Manual, instead of the Beginner Guide for Pill Making.
The Pill Flame Heart Manual was extremely complex and without having the basic knowledge of plants, one’s answers would be far off. But none of his questions tricked Zhao Feng.
Shock appeared on Yun Yao’s face and Princess Yun Mengxiang became dazed. Some of the questions were even too hard for her, someone who had studied pill making ever since she was small.

_Finally..._
Cold sweat had appeared on Old Man Guan’s head. At this moment, he didn’t know if he should happy or not, but Zhao Feng had proved that he had learned the Beginner Guide for Pill Making and the Pill Flame Heart Manual.
Having such analytical ability meant that he was a monster.
“Last question.” Old Man Guan took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Since you’ve learned the Beginners Guide to Pill Making and Pill Flame Heart Manual, tell me the original composition that creates the Snow Spiritual Pill. This pill appears in the Beginners Guide for Pill Making and the Pill Flame Heart Manual.”
Original composition?
Yun Yao took in a cold breath; this question had almost reached the core of pill making.
Many famous pill makers had their own compositions, which consisted of how plants should be mixed.
Although the Snow Spiritual Pill was a simple spiritual pill and wasn’t complicated, it was hard for a newbie. A beginner didn’t even know the rules of plant mixing, so how would they be able to find the composition?
