Chapter 39 - Respect
Shen Xiang wanted to compete with the Dan King of the Southern Martial Kingdom in the art of alchemy, which made those ten or so alchemists grow their mouths in surprise, although Shen Lu Zong knew that Shen Xiang was very talented in alchemy, but to challenge the Dan King, he was too young.
But Shen Xiang's lottery is indeed very tempting, the thin spiritual energy in the secular world, resulting in very rare spiritual medicine, so the alchemists in the secular world are unable to resist this rare spiritual medicine **.
Meng Bo threw back his head and laughed out loud, "Haha ... since that's the case, then I'll accompany you, if I lose, I'll give you my Xuan Yang Dan Furnace!"
Xuan Yang Dan Furnace! That was a famous alchemy furnace, which was said to have been picked up by Meng Bo, and was made from the precious Xuan Yang stone, which had other magical features inside, which was what made Meng Bo have great achievements in alchemy.
Those alchemists all looked enviously at the fiery red dan furnace that Meng Bo took out. The alchemy furnace was small and exquisite, looking as if it was sculpted on top of a red gemstone, with many exquisite patterns on the outside, and it was clear at a glance that it was never something that could be refined by someone in the secular world.
"If we are to compete in the ranking of the Dan, then I am bound to lose, in order to be fair, only one of the highest ranking Dan I can refine, the Gang Qi Dan!" Shen Xiang said, only in this way would he have a chance to win, and this was also the highest grade Dan he could refine today.
The Big Dipper Pill is of great help to those at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, because the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm is the "True Big Dipper Realm", which is the realm where true qi can be transformed into "Big Dipper", and after taking the Big Dipper Pill, it can help martial artists at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm to become familiar with Big Dipper, and martial artists at the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm The pills can be taken to strengthen the true qi, so that when the true qi is transformed into astral, it can be accelerated and strengthened quickly.
"No problem, shall we start now?" Meng Bo agreed very quickly, in his eyes, no matter how talented Shen Xiang was, after all, he was a little kid, there was no way he could beat him, and if the quality of the pills he made was not as good as Shen Xiang's, then he would also lose convincingly.
"Start now, the herbs are your own responsibility, if you don't have any, then it's not too late to wait until you get them." Shen Xiang said, in this more than a month, he is also constantly learning to refine other pills, Gang Qi Dan he has also refined several furnaces, except for the first few failures, after he mastered the essentials, there has been no failure.
"Of course I have the herbs, so let's start now! There are so many alchemists judging here, I think the final result will be very fair!" Meng Bo said, he was actually a little excited at this moment, originally he was very jealous of Shen Xiang for having that Golden Spirit Fruit, because he owed a favor to the Pill Family, he agreed to come here to smash the scene.
To Meng Bo's surprise, Shen Xiang was a young and competitive kid who actually proposed this kind of contest with a disparity in strength, and he certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Shen Lu Zong and the ten or so alchemists were all excited because they could see the Dan King refining pills with their own eyes, a very rare opportunity!
Most of the pills are refined in a similar way, but the process of handling the herbs are different, and some of the herbs are very special in nature and have to be handled with great care, otherwise the refining will fail, and in serious cases, the furnace will explode. Once it fails, the herbs will be lost, lower-grade pills are okay, but the failure of high-grade pills can make an alchemist feel pain for a long time.
Now Shen Xiang and Meng Bo both started to "enter the fire" to warm the furnace, so that the furnace inside the fire, while controlling the temperature inside, followed by the input of herbs.
The herbs needed for the Big Dipper Pill are expensive, but they are still available on the market, the main herbs are "Yuan Ling Mud", "Dipper Grass Root", "Xuan Ling Ginseng", "Yellow Fire Leaf", and "Yellow Fire Leaf". "Then there are some auxiliary herbs, mainly ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, shouwu, earth spirit grass and many other common herbs that are more than fifty years old.
The difficulty of this Big Dipper Pill lies in the handling of the "Yuan Ling Mud" and the "Earth Dipper Grass Root". spiritual qi. Yuanling mud is very difficult to burn into powder, the flame requirements are extremely high.
The grass root is even in the Yuan Ling mud in a spiritual grass, grass roots deep in the Yuan Ling mud, after breeding, produced the "ground Gang", but this root is very easy to be burned to nothing, the strange Gang Qi is also very easy to be evaporated, so the divine sense need to control the flame and protection.
Shen Xiang failed several times in the beginning because of these two difficulties, but after he mastered the subtle essentials, he was able to easily practice the "astral pellet", and at this time Shen Xiang used the flame to refine the herbs into "medicinal powder" and "medicinal aura" with a relaxed face. "Only thorough refinement can drive out the impurities, otherwise it will affect the quality of the pills. Shen Xiang is very strict with himself on this point, so the pills he makes are all of the highest quality.
Shen Lu Zong and those alchemists can feel the temperature around every moment a slight change, and the alchemy furnace also from time to time some black gas, that is the impurities inside the herbs are released, so they smacked their lips, that Meng Bo is full of sweat, brow condensed.
And Shen Xiang that relaxed look to produce a clear contrast!
Obviously, Meng Bo had not refined this kind of Astral Pill for some time, and as long as he was rusty for some time, he would forget that delicate feeling of fire control and have difficulty in grasping the nature of the heat of the elixir.
Suddenly, Meng Bo's ruby-like alchemy furnace suddenly vibrated slightly and a burst of colorful aura rose up! Meng Bo actually made a mistake, a Dan King actually made a mistake while refining this Mortal Grade Medium Grade Dan, which made those alchemists very disappointed in their hearts, while secretly despising this Dan King.
"Uncle, take a copy of the Astral Pill herbs to him, if he refines it from scratch, there is still time to catch up!" Shen Xiang opened his eyes and said indifferently.
This caused Meng Bo to be stunned, his eyes immediately flashed a flash of shame, only to see Shen Xiang grin at him and smiled: "You just failed in the refining because of the lack of medicinal ingredients, resulting in a bias in judgment! Be fair in the competition, it's because you were not prepared enough."
Meng Bo nodded slightly, he knew that Shen Xiang was giving him a step down, after all, he was a famous alchemist, making such a mistake would make him lift his head, which made him secretly grateful in his heart.
It was then that he understood that Shen Xiang was not as uncaring as he was rumored to be, both in his dealings with people and in his city, he was far better than the Medicine Tianhua he had guided many times.
Shen Lu Zong quickly brought the medicinal materials, Meng Bo at this time from the new start of alchemy, this time he calmed down, and no longer underestimate Shen Xiang, but to treat Shen Xiang as an opponent equal to his strength to look at!
Time passed little by little, although it was quiet all the time, but Shen Lu Zong, these alchemists knew that the two furnaces were carrying out a very complex process.
An hour and a half passed and finally it was time to condense the dan, Shen Xiang was much ahead, only to see him take out some green ** and drop it in through the mouth of one of the alchemy furnaces, this medium ** is that dragon saliva and water diluted, add some when condensing the dan, it can make the quality of the dan better, this is the method Su Meiyao told him.
Shen Xiang opened his eyes and panted slightly, while that Meng Bo wiped the sweat on his forehead at this time, he also finished.
