An Attempt at Alchemy

Su Tong was not acting on impulse.

He just felt that if he really had no talent for alchemy at all, it would be better not to waste other people's alchemy cauldrons and pill formulas.

But Danyun Peak did not think so.

As an alchemist, he naturally knew that it was impossible for someone to successfully refine a pill on their first try at alchemy.

So there was only one possibility - Su Tong did not want these things.

But Danyun Peak could not do anything about it, he could only reluctantly agree.

He ordered several disciples to prepare the complete ingredients for the Spirit Replenishing Pill.

Su Tong then did not hesitate at all, and looked at the pill formula for the first rank Spirit Replenishing Pill.

He picked it up and took a look.

The text on it was densely packed with glyphs from a different world.

But in Su Tong's eyes, they were all in seal script.

He immediately understood everything recorded on it.

The fire intensity, the amount of ingredients, everything was written very clearly.

At this time, Su Tong also opened his eyes.

Danyun Peak next to him also noticed that Su Tong seemed to have changed somewhat.

This made Danyun Peak very curious.

Seeing Su Tong look at the pill formula of the first rank Spirit Replenishing Pill caused some change, was that an illusion?

"Um... Previously when I saw the alchemists in the Pill Seeking Hall concocting pills, there was a beastly fire, is that essential for alchemy?"

Just then Su Tong recalled that he did not have any fire.

If fire was needed, then he really had no way.

"That is a beastly fire tamed by the alchemist. Ordinary new disciples who have just started learning alchemy, actually just use spiritual fire."

Danyun Peak also explained to Su Tong.

Su Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Spiritual fire?"

Doesn't that require consuming massive spiritual power?

Are alchemy disciples all that powerful? Using spiritual fire to concoct pills?

"Hehe, although spiritual fire consumes a lot of spiritual power, with this alchemy cauldron, subsequently stimulating wood elemental qi and fire elemental qi, it is easy to condense flames to concoct pills!"

Seeing Su Tong's confusion, Danyun Peak spoke again.

Su Tong nodded, now he understood.

Not just spiritual fire, but also qi fire.

Using qi flames, as long as qi is continuously provided, the flames will not disappear.

Naturally it can be used for alchemy.

"What is Su Tong trying to do?"

"I heard he's going to try alchemy!"

"Ah? He wants to join the Dan Xin Sect?"

"No, it happened like this..."

A few gossipy disciples were also watching Su Tong concoct pills.

And disciples who knew the truth told everyone what had happened earlier.

"I see!"

"Isn't this rejecting the offer?"

"Right, which person can concoct pills on their first try with a pill formula?"

"Exactly, who knows if he can even condense flames!"

Just then, Su Tong placed his hand on the Holy Flame Cauldron, then channeled his spiritual power into it.

At the same time, qi also poured in.

Su Tong only used wood elemental qi and fire elemental qi.

"Puff!"

When Su Tong's qi poured in, a sound came from within the alchemy cauldron.

Right after, a flame rose up.

The disciples who had just said Su Tong could not condense flames were stunned.

They all knew that each of them had tried dozens of times before succeeding.

Even Eldest Senior Sister with outstanding talent had succeeded after more than ten tries.

But this Su Tong actually succeeded on his first try?

"This... so amazing!"

"Yes, succeeding on the first try, even Eldest Senior Sister can't compare!"

"But it's just condensing flames. Su Tong is very powerful, his control over qi must be very strong too, that's why!"

"Right, when we were condensing flames, which of us wasn't still at the Refining Realm?"

"You're right!"

At this time, some disciples conceded, while some were still unwilling to admit defeat.

"Little friend Su Tong is truly gifted, succeeding on the first try in condensing spiritual flames!"

Danyun Peak was also astonished by Su Tong's feat.

He did not expect that Su Tong would succeed in condensing spiritual flames on his first try.

"Is this difficult?"

Su Tong looked up puzzled.

He thought it was very simple, just using spiritual power to guide the two types of qi to condense into flames.

"This..."

Danyun Peak did not know how to answer Su Tong's question, he could only stay silent.

After that, Su Tong threw in a tree branch according to the Spirit Replenishing Pill formula.

This was a grade one medicinal ingredient called Frozen Bamboo, the main material needed to concoct the Spirit Replenishing Pill.

After the Frozen Bamboo entered the Holy Flame Cauldron, the flames condensed from qi immediately engulfed it.

"Pay attention to balancing the spiritual flames..."

Seeing the Frozen Bamboo wrapped by the flames, Danyun Peak reminded.

"Balance!"

Su Tong lightly spoke two words in the ancient gods' language, directly stabilizing the somewhat restless flames.

Seeing this scene, Danyun Peak forcefully swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Su Tong's performance completely exceeded Danyun Peak's expectations.

At this time Su Tong did not bother with the people around him, only focusing his spiritual power on the Frozen Bamboo, controlling the flames within the alchemy cauldron.

After a while, under the scorching of the spiritual flames, the Frozen Bamboo started to slowly wither, then congealed into a drop of light yellow liquid.

Su Tong still did not get distracted, but paid attention to the flames in the Holy Flame Cauldron, slowly warming that liquid.

Then Su Tong took out another medicinal ingredient and threw it in.

This was Yinglong Grass, also a grade one spiritual grass.

This grass was not green, but black, looking a bit like a dragon, thus the name.

"Two ingredients?"

Seeing Su Tong did not take out the liquid, but directly threw in the Yinglong Grass, Danyun Peak was somewhat surprised.

"Isn't Su Tong taking out the liquid?"

"Isn't this too arrogant?"

"Right, the temperatures of the two ingredients are different, there will be effects."

"But... it seems there is no effect!"

The group of disciples could also clearly see.

And just then, nearby Danyun Peak also discovered this point.

Carefully probing with spiritual power, Danyun Peak revealed an astonished expression: "Using spiritual power to wrap the liquid, just like putting the liquid in a white jade bottle, Su Tong's control over spiritual power exceeds expectations!"

No matter if Su Tong could concoct the pill successfully in the end, just this move had already greatly astonished Danyun Peak.

After refining the second ingredient, Su Tong continued to refine the third, fourth...

The refining of each ingredient was smooth and effortless.

At this time no one spoke anymore, all were dumbstruck by Su Tong's skills.

There was only one question in everyone's mind right now - Did Su Tong really not know alchemy?

If someone like this said they didn't know alchemy, then at least half of the disciples in the Dan Xin Sect did not know alchemy!

But they felt they knew it!

Su Tong did not know what was in their hearts.

At this time, the ingredients for the Spirit Replenishing Pill had all been refined. Next, would be the most difficult part!
