Chapter 364 Two Difficult Problems Shock the Medicine God! Is This Kid a Monster?!

Three balls of light floated in front of Jiang Yun.

Red, gold, and purple; the three-colored rays of light shone upon each other, illuminating the entire Pill Refining Room as if it were a dream.

Jiang Yun looked at these three balls of light, his brows slightly knitted.

During the Legacy assessment, those three Alchemy heart-questioning sessions appeared directly in the form of voices.

But now, what did these three balls of light mean?

He looked toward the Medicine Dust Son.

"Senior, what is the format of this assessment...?"

The Medicine Dust Son stood with his hands behind his back, smiling slightly.

"The Legacy assessment asked about the heart. That was my fundamental understanding of the Dao of Alchemy."

"But this time, it asks about 'technique'."

He raised his hand and pointed at the three balls of light.

"In a moment, I will activate these three balls of light one by one. Each ball of light contains a Sealed Alchemy scene."

"In that scene, the refining of a Medicinal Pill is at a critical moment, but an error has occurred—it could be a mistake in fire control, improper Fusion, a missed opportunity, or an imbalance in the ratio of medicinal ingredients."

He paused and looked at Jiang Yun.

"Your task is to enter that scene and find a way to save the Medicinal Pill."

Jiang Yun was taken aback.

Save a pill?

The Medicine Dust Son continued, "This assessment is the best way to test one's Alchemy talent and Comprehension Ability. Anyone can talk big, but when truly facing a Pill Furnace and a Medicinal Pill about to explode, whether one can respond calmly and find a remedy is the real skill."

He looked at Jiang Yun, a trace of expectation in his eyes.

"You just received my Legacy, so your Comprehension Ability is naturally not bad. For you, the test will be your ability to adapt on the spot."

"This exam is extremely difficult. There are three questions, each harder than the last. The first tests fire control; the second tests Fusion; the third tests..."

He paused and did not continue.

He just smiled.

"When you reach the third question, you will naturally know."

Jiang Yun was silent for a moment.

"Then what if this Junior fails?"

The Medicine Dust Son waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter if you fail. I won't let you die here."

His gaze was profound.

"After all, you have already received my Legacy and are my successor. Even if you don't pass this Pill Formula assessment, I will still let you leave."

"However, you won't be able to get that ancient Pill Formula Incomplete Manual."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun felt reassured.

He cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks, Senior."

The Medicine Dust Son nodded.

"Then let's begin."

He raised his hand and pointed at the red ball of light.

"The first question: fire control."

As the words fell.

The red ball of light suddenly expanded!

The light surged like a tide, instantly swallowing Jiang Yun!

Jiang Yun only felt his vision blur.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in another scene.

Before him was a huge Pill Furnace.

The furnace was three zhang high and entirely crimson red.

At the bottom of the furnace, flames were burning fiercely.

But those flames were extremely unstable at this moment.

Sometimes they surged, almost rushing out of the furnace.

Sometimes they withered, as if they would extinguish at any moment.

On the body of the furnace, cracks faintly appeared.

From inside the furnace came low, rumbling sounds.

That was a sign that the Medicinal Pill was about to explode!

Jiang Yun was startled.

This scene was too realistic.

He could even feel the oncoming heat wave and smell the burnt scent of the Medicinal Pill.

Just then, the voice of the Medicine Dust Son sounded in his ear.

"This pill is called the Blazing Fire Pill, Meteor High Grade. During the refining process, the Alchemist made a mistake in fire control, leading to a loss of control over the heat. Now, the Pill Furnace is about to explode."

"You have thirty breaths of time."

"Within thirty breaths, if you cannot stabilize the flames, the Medicinal Pill will be destroyed."

Thirty breaths!

Jiang Yun's pupils constricted slightly.

He did not hesitate.

Deep in his eyes, a blue light suddenly lit up!

Innate Talent Skill — Entry Manifestation!

[Blazing Fire Pill · Refining Scene · Fire Control Mistake]

[Current Status: Furnace fire too strong, temperature exceeding limit, Medicinal Pill about to carbonize; when furnace fire is too weak, temperature drops sharply, Medicinal Pill about to solidify. Flame fluctuation cycle: one surge every three breaths, one sharp drop every two breaths.]

[Remedy: When the flames surge, inject ice attribute spiritual power to neutralize; when the flames drop sharply, inject fire attribute spiritual power to replenish. You must precisely grasp the timing of each fluctuation. Sustain for nine breaths, and the flames will stabilize.]

[Note: If an operation error occurs once, the Medicinal Pill will be destroyed.]

After reading this, Jiang Yun felt confident.

His figure flashed, arriving in front of the Pill Furnace.

He raised his hands.

Borrowing the power of Little Fire from within his Beast Taming Space.

His left hand surged with water attribute.

His right hand surged with fire attribute power.

The next moment.

The flames surged!

Jiang Yun pressed out with his left hand, injecting water attribute spiritual power!

The flames were instantly suppressed, and the temperature returned to normal.

Two breaths later.

The flames dropped sharply!

Jiang Yun pressed out with his right hand, injecting fire attribute spiritual power!

The flames reignited, and the temperature rose back up.

Three breaths later.

The flames surged again!

He pressed with his left hand again.

Two breaths later.

The flames dropped sharply again!

He pressed with his right hand again.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

...

After nine breaths.

The flames finally stabilized.

The rumbling inside the furnace gradually subsided.

The cracks on the furnace body slowly healed.

A furnace of Blazing Fire Pill was saved.

Jiang Yun retracted his hands and let out a long breath.

The scene before him suddenly shattered.

He returned to the Pill Refining Room.

The Medicine Dust Son stood not far away, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Nine breaths, nine fluctuations, not a single mistake..."

He muttered.

"To be able to achieve this level on the first contact with this scene..."

He looked at Jiang Yun, a trace of appreciation added to his eyes.

"Not bad. The first question, passed."

Jiang Yun nodded.

"Many thanks, Senior."

The Medicine Dust Son raised his hand and pointed at the golden ball of light.

"The second question: Fusion."

The golden light instantly swallowed Jiang Yun.

The scene before him changed again.

It was still that Pill Furnace.

But this time, the scene inside the furnace was completely different.

Three balls of light were spinning inside the furnace.

One red, one blue, one cyan.

The three-colored lights repelled each other and collided with each other.

Every time they collided, the Pill Furnace trembled violently.

There were more and more cracks on the furnace body.

The voice of the Medicine Dust Son sounded.

"This pill is called the Three-Turn Soul Condensing Pill, Meteor Peak Grade. It requires three mutually repelling attributes to be fused into one."

"But the Alchemist made an operational error during Fusion, causing the three attributes to collide. Now, the Pill Furnace is about to explode."

"You have fifty breaths of time."

"Within fifty breaths, if you cannot complete the Fusion, the Medicinal Pill will be destroyed."

Jiang Yun looked at the three balls of light.

Red, fire attribute.

Blue, water attribute.

Cyan, wind attribute.

Water, fire, and wind—these three attributes are naturally mutually restrictive.

How could it be easy to fuse them into one?

But Jiang Yun was not panicked.

In his eyes, the blue light flashed again.

[Three-Turn Soul Condensing Pill · Refining Scene · Fusion Mistake]

[Current Status: The three attributes are mutually repelling, conflict frequency is once every five breaths, and conflict intensity is gradually increasing. After fifty breaths, the conflict intensity will reach a critical point, and the Pill Furnace will explode.]

[Remedy: Use Mental Energy as a bridge to guide the three attributes to run in a cycle of fire generating wind, wind assisting fire, water restraining fire, and fire evaporating water. First, use the fire attribute to guide the wind attribute. After the wind attribute is stable, use the wind attribute to suppress the fire attribute, while simultaneously using the fire attribute to evaporate the water attribute. Finally, fuse the remaining water attribute into the wind and fire.]

[Operation Steps: ... (Twelve detailed operation steps)]

After reading this, the corners of Jiang Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

He stepped forward.

His Mental Energy was released with a bang!

The Diamond Rank Mental Energy turned into countless tentacles, probing into the Pill Furnace.

First step, guide the fire attribute to contact the wind attribute.

Second step, use fire to assist wind, strengthening the wind attribute.

Third step, use wind to suppress fire, controlling the fire's momentum.

Fourth step, use fire to evaporate water, converting the water attribute.

Fifth step...

Sixth step...

Seventh step...

Twelve steps, completed in one go!

Supported by the vast Legacy memory of the Medicine God.

Fifty breaths, he only used thirty breaths!

The three-colored lights finally fused into one!

The Pill Furnace returned to calm.

The scene before him shattered again.

Jiang Yun returned to the Pill Refining Room.

The Medicine Dust Son looked at him, the appreciation in his eyes having turned into astonishment.

"Thirty breaths... twelve steps of operation, not a single mistake..."

He muttered.

"Even an Alchemist with many years of experience might not be able to achieve this level..."

He looked at Jiang Yun, his gaze burning.

"Little guy, are you sure this is your first time encountering this kind of scene?"

Jiang Yun smiled.

"Senior is joking. This Junior is indeed doing this for the first time, and I have never even touched Alchemy before this."

The Medicine Dust Son was silent for a moment.

Then, he smiled.

"Not bad! Not bad indeed!"

"Good, the second question is also passed."

He raised his hand and pointed at the purple ball of light.

"The third question..."

He paused, a flash of complexity in his eyes.

"This third question is a mistake I personally experienced when I was refining pills back then."

"That mistake almost caused me to perish."

He looked at Jiang Yun, his gaze profound.

"Little guy, if you can pass this one, I will be completely convinced."

The purple light instantly swallowed Jiang Yun.

The scene before him changed again.

This time, it was not the Pill Refining Room.

But a valley.

In the center of the valley stood a huge Pill Furnace.

That Pill Furnace was ten zhang high, with seven-colored light flowing all over it.

At the bottom of the furnace, flames were burning fiercely.

But those flames were not ordinary fire.

They were golden.

They contained an aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

Jiang Yun's pupils constricted slightly.

This flame...

It was a Saint King Rank Heavenly Fire!

The voice of the Medicine Dust Son sounded, carrying a trace of reminiscence.

"This pill is called the Nine-Turn Nirvana Pill, a Saint King Rank Medicinal Pill. It was the life-bound Divine Pill I refined when my beast was breaking through to the Saint King Rank."

"At the most critical moment of refining, an error occurred."

"Nine types of Heavenly Fire lost control at the same time."

"The entire valley was burning."

"I tried my best to barely save my life. But that furnace of Medicinal Pills was destroyed."

"That furnace of Medicinal Pills consumed three hundred years of my savings."

"That failure caused my cultivation to stagnate for a thousand years."

His voice became low.

"Little guy, in this scene, nine types of Heavenly Fire have lost control simultaneously. You have ninety breaths of time."

"Within ninety breaths, if you can stabilize the Heavenly Fire and save the Medicinal Pill, you pass."

"If you fail..."

He paused.

"Don't worry, this is just a mental scene; you won't really die."

Jiang Yun looked at that huge Pill Furnace.

Nine types of Heavenly Fire, all out of control at the same time.

Gold, silver, purple, cyan, crimson, orange, blue, white, black...

The nine-colored flames, like nine wild dragons, were raging around the Pill Furnace.

Every impact made the space tremble.

Every collision made the earth shake.

This was simply not something a human could control!

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

In his eyes, the blue light flashed frantically!

[Nine-Turn Nirvana Pill · Refining Scene · Nine Fires Out of Control]

[Current Status: Nine types of Heavenly Fire are running wild simultaneously, colliding with each other, and are about to trigger a Heavenly Fire explosion. Explosion power: can destroy a radius of a thousand miles; anyone below the seventh rank of the Saint King Rank will surely die.]

[Remedy: None.]

None?!

Jiang Yun's pupils constricted sharply.

Even the Innate Talent Skill shows none?

Then how to save it?

He scanned quickly.

Finally, at the end of the information, he saw a special prompt.
