90: Chapter 90 Qinghe Yunqi Pill

Chen Jiancang, hearing everyone's request, was already prepared. He smiled slightly, nodded, and replied, "Since everyone wishes to see, I will refine a batch of Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill here and now."

With that, Chen Jiancang took out the water-fire ancient yang furnace and began to systematically prepare the Materials needed for refining the pill.

He took out ten catties of premium qinghe rice, seven night flower, fuling grass, and polygonatum from his storage bag, arranging them neatly one by one.

Chen Jiancang took a deep breath, his hands quickly forming seals. A scorching flame shot out from his palm, instantly igniting the Pill Furnace.

The flame burned fiercely in the furnace, and the temperature rapidly rose. Chen Jiancang placed the qinghe rice into the furnace and began to roast it with the flame.

Under the effect of the high temperature, the qinghe rice gradually emitted a rich aroma. The unique scent originating from the qinghe rice permeated the entire Dan Hall.

Next, Chen Jiancang sequentially added the seven night flower, fuling grass, and polygonatum into the Pill Furnace. Each time he added a material, he carefully observed the changes within the furnace and used spiritual power to control the size and temperature of the flame.

Time passed minute by minute. The Materials in the furnace gradually merged together, forming a liquid mass emitting a greenish-blue light.

Chen Jiancang suddenly exerted force with both hands, instantly contracting the flame. At the same time, he used spiritual power to condense the liquid within the furnace into individual pills.

Following his movements, one by one, greenish-blue Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill flew out of the furnace and arranged themselves neatly in front of him.

Everyone's eyes were focused on these pills, their Faces showing expressions of astonishment.

"This..."

"Nine pills formed in one batch?" Alchemist Lin Yu exclaimed in shock.

It is well known that only by mastering a pill refining technique to the point where it cannot be further improved is it possible to form nine pills in one batch. Such miraculous skill was only heard of in legends.

Yet, at this moment, Chen Jiancang actually demonstrated it in front of everyone.

The others were also shocked by Chen Jiancang's performance, not expecting his mastery of Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill refining to have reached such a peak.

At this time, Steward Nethercloud did not pay too much attention to Chen Jiancang's overly proficient refining skill. Instead, he was the first to pick up a Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill and observe it carefully in his palm.

He saw that the pill had a moist luster, its surface shimmering with a faint glow, and it emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.

He sniffed lightly, and the scent originating from the qinghe rice made his hands tremble slightly.

However, the next second, Steward Nethercloud's eyes instantly became sharp.

"The news that qinghe rice can refine Qi Gathering Pill must not be spread outside by anyone. Everyone here, make a Dao Heart oath. If this oath is violated, may heaven and earth punish you." Steward Nethercloud said with a solemn expression, staring intently at everyone, his tone carrying undeniable authority as he commanded.

"Everyone, you just observed Chen Jiancang's process of refining Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill. I presume you also saw that the method for refining Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill is not complicated. If this Pill Formula were to spread, it would be a huge loss for our Chen Family."

"So, do not blame me for speaking so frankly at this moment."

Steward Nethercloud's eyes scanned around and then fixed tightly on Lin Yu.

Because among the few people present, only Lin Yu was not of the Chen Family surname. Although Qing He was not a Chen Family member, having been raised by Steward Nethercloud since childhood, she was already considered part of the Chen Family.

Lin Yu, as the Chen Family's guest Alchemist, enjoyed the same treatment as Chen Family members. However, in front of the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill formula at this moment, Steward Nethercloud did not show the slightest consideration for the other party's feelings.

"Steward Nethercloud..."

Lin Yu's heart tightened, his expression showing embarrassment and annoyance. However, under Steward Nethercloud's piercing gaze, he could only let out a cold snort, then cupped his hands and said, "Steward Chen, please be assured. I, Lin Yu, swear by my Dao Heart that I will never spread the news that qinghe rice can refine Qi Gathering Pill, nor the refining method. If this oath is violated, may heaven and earth punish me."

After speaking, he felt an invisibleshackles placed upon his Dao Heart. Clearly, such an oath had a certain binding force.

Seeing Lin Yu make the oath, Steward Nethercloud immediately shifted his compelling gaze from Lin Yu to the others. Everyone expressed their willingness and made the same oath.

Chen Jiancang watched this scene unfold, not expecting Steward Nethercloud to take it so seriously. Previously, he had worried that if the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill were to appear, it would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, which was why he had decided to contribute the Pill Formula now.

But he seemed to have underestimated the value of the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill. He hadn't expected Steward Nethercloud to react so strongly, not leaving any room for negotiation and making everyone aware swear an oath.

However, Steward Nethercloud's series of actions at this moment likely reduced some of the risk of the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill being leaked.

Chen Jiancang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the value of the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill was extraordinary. If it were to spread, it would surely attract the covetous eyes of various forces. Moreover, if this Pill Formula were kept within the Chen Family's own hands and refined on a large scale, the overall strength of the Chen Family members in the future would be significantly improved.

Steward Nethercloud looked around at everyone, his expression softening slightly. "Today, for everyone to witness the refining of Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill firsthand is also a rare Opportunity. Alchemist Lin, what I said just now was offensive; please forgive me. I will report this matter to the Dan Hall and record a point of Family merit for Alchemist Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu remained silent, his expression carrying a hint of anger. The feeling of being targeted just now made him understand one thing: to the Chen Family, he was always an outsider.

Even though his current treatment and benefits were no different from those of Chen Family members, this kind of trust between blood relatives was something he, an outsider, would never obtain.

Steward Nethercloud also understood Alchemist Lin Yu's current state of mind and smiled helplessly, continuing, "Jiancang, you have made an invaluable contribution by contributing the Pill Formula this time. In a moment, come with me to the Main Branch Pill Hall to report this matter."

Chen Jiancang nodded in agreement.

The matter of the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill was of great importance and was no longer something the Small Cloud Mountain Dan Hall could handle.

"My decision at that time seems to have been a wise one," Chen Jiancang thought to himself. If he had exposed the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill formula earlier, he wouldn't have had the strength to protect this secret.

At this moment, Qing He and Chen Jianhong, the two newly promoted Alchemists, stood there somewhat lost and awkward. Although they knew that the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill Chen Jiancang had just refined was extraordinary, they were still intimidated by Steward Nethercloud's Aura just now.

"Master," Chen Jianhong called out softly, standing beside Alchemist Lin Yu.

Lin Yu stroked Chen Jianhong's head, his eyes holding a trace of complexity. He knew clearly in his heart that although he had suffered some grievances this time, as the Chen Family's guest Alchemist, there were many things he could only endure.

"It's alright. As the Chen Family's guest Alchemist, it is already a great fortune to have my current status and position. Moreover, the matter of the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill is very important, so it is understandable for Steward Nethercloud to be cautious."

"Now you have also successfully advanced to Alchemist. After I successfully attempt to refine the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill, I will teach you the refining method," Lin Yu said with a smile.
