Chapter 67: Practice Alchemy (4) (1/2)
Yang Wei swallowed his saliva nervously on the pill that Elder Jing was holding.
Yang Wei had to cover his nose briefly to avoid smelling the disgusting aroma emitting from the pill as he felt nauseous.
Lian Xinyue was no different as she hurriedly retreated away from Elder Jing as she couldn't handle it anymore.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing held a nonchalant expression, almost like she smelled nothing from the pill in her hand.
”E-Elder Jing, when did you create this kind of pill and why?” Yang Wei asked slowly.
Elder Jing smiled briefly as she stayed silent, keeping Yang Wei in suspense. There was no way she would tell Yang Wei that she created this pill specifically for him if he ever annoyed her.
Yang Wei could only smile bitterly as he continued to place the herb in order.
'I will not swallow that purplish-looking pill. Who knows what effect it has? Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly.
Once he finished placing the herbs in order, Yang Wei took a deep breath before approaching closer to the cauldron.
”Remember, you only have three attempts so if you failed then this lovely pill would be in great use.” Elder Jing reminded gently.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly on her kind reminder. Yang Wei predicted that Elder Jing was most likely trying to affect his mentality and cause him to fail right away.
Not willing to disappoint Elder Jing and mainly himself on his first attempt in alchemy, Yang Wei closed his eyes to calm his emotion down.
Afterward, Yang Wei reopened his eyes and started to use his true qi to form a flame as it gushed into the bottom of the cauldron.
The fiery flame created by Yang Wei was inferior when compared to Elder Jing's flame that was full of life and held an aggressive form.
Elder Jing nodded slowly and said, ”It's passable with this flame to concoct the Qi Rejuvenation but you must have sufficient true qi to control the temperature of the flame otherwise, the herbs are going to burn up before you're even able to extract the impurities away.”
Yang Wei couldn't reply to Elder Jing as he was paying full attention to the flame that was heating up the cauldron. When the cauldron reached the desired temperature, Yang Wei grabbed the first herb and threw it inside the cauldron to start burning the herb and extract the impurities little by little.
Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue held a disbelieving expression and wondered if Yang Wei was lying to them. His skills and timing weren't amateur moves as they required a lot of practice to manage what Yang Wei just did.
”E-Elder Jing, are you sure this is Yang Wei's first time in concocting a pill?” Lian Xinyue asked Elder Jing in a low tone.
