776: Refining Guixu Dan, Ninth Grade Mid-Stage

Not long after.

An old man dressed in black robes with white hair appeared here. His aura was restrained and unfathomable.

When the middle-aged man saw this old man, he hurriedly bowed: "Elder Feng, why have you come here?"

This old man was none other than the Earth-Grade Alchemist of the Danhe Realm, Feng Qianchi. At the same time, he was also a Dao Seeking Peak expert with a noble status and was extremely extraordinary.

He had just sent a voice transmission to a Profound-Grade Alchemist, not expecting that Feng Qianchi would come instead.

Feng Qianchi smiled and said: "Sikong Che was by my side just now, and he said there was a formidable young Alchemist here, so I came specially to take a look."

Ordinary Alchemists naturally could not catch his eye.

But if it were a young Peak Eighth-Grade Alchemist who could refine seven Peak Seventh-Pattern Cave Profound Medicinal Pills in a single furnace, that would be worth him coming.

If he could take him as a Disciple...

Feng Qianchi's gaze fell upon Xie Weilou, and he chuckled: "I am Feng Qianchi. You kid, you want to refine a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill?"

Xie Weilou cupped his hands at Feng Qianchi: "Junior is Xie Wei! I wish to try my hand at a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill."

Feng Qianchi stroked his beard, looking Xie Weilou up and down: "To be able to refine seven Peak Seventh-Pattern Cave Profound Medicinal Pills in one furnace, you really should try a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill."

With a wave of his sleeve, two portions of ingredients for the Guixu Medicinal Pill appeared on the table.

"You kid, give it a good try! We will watch from the side and guarantee we won't disturb you."

Feng Qianchi took the middle-aged man and retreated thirty meters. Refining a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill does not allow for the slightest interference, otherwise, it is easy to fall short of success.

Xie Weilou looked at the ingredients on the table. He did not try to refine them directly but instead summoned a Formation Plate for gathering Qi, and injected power into it.

Hum!

The Formation Plate was activated, and a Ninth-Grade Spirit Gathering Grand Array appeared. Refining a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill is much more difficult.

Simple Restrictions could no longer meet the requirements; it also needed the support of a powerful Formation.

"A Ninth-Grade Grand Array..."

The look in Feng Qianchi's eyes as he looked at Xie Weilou gained a hint of surprise.

Boom!

Xie Weilou once again summoned the Taixu Spirit Fire. Once the exotic fire appeared, the surrounding temperature rose abruptly.

"Hiss! This is... a Heaven and Earth Exotic Fire!"

Feng Qianchi looked at the exotic fire in Xie Weilou's hand and could not help but gasp.

Even an Earth-Grade Alchemist like him had not mastered an exotic fire, yet this kid actually possessed one.

No wonder the other party's Alchemy skills were so extraordinary; this person was simply born to make a living through Alchemy!

At such a young age, he already had such impressive attainments in Alchemy, and he even had an exotic fire. The background of this young man was likely not simple...

Xie Weilou closed his eyes and quickly went over the details of the Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill in his mind.

Then he opened his eyes and threw one ingredient into the Pill Furnace. The Taixu Spirit Fire enveloped the Pill Furnace, slowly refining it.

For the first time refining a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill, the word "steady" was still the priority—discovering problems and solving them.

"Steady enough! And the Fire Control Art is extremely skillful..."

Feng Qianchi's face showed a look of approval.

The first ingredient was easily refined, and Xie Weilou followed up by throwing in the second, the third...

The ingredients were continuously refined into medicinal liquid, purified, condensed, and purified again...

In the blink of an eye.

Half an hour passed.

Xie Weilou's Pill Furnace vibrated continuously, and a blue Medicinal Pill instantly rushed out from inside.

The blue Medicinal Pill carried majestic Qi and medicinal fragrance; it seemed as if one deep breath of the fragrance could make one's cultivation soar.

Xie Weilou put away the Taixu Spirit Fire and casually took this Medicinal Pill into his hand. For his first time refining a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill, the process was fairly smooth, and it could be considered barely a success.

Of course, during the refining process, he also discovered some problems.

If he refined it a second time, he should be able to solve those problems and raise the grade of the Medicinal Pill to a higher level.

He examined the Medicinal Pill in his hand, a trace of dissatisfaction appearing in his eyes.

The quantity of the Medicinal Pill was too small, the grade was too low, and there were no pill patterns. It was still not good enough; it was difficult to meet his requirements.

"He actually succeeded."

The middle-aged man looked at Xie Weilou with a face full of shock.

A Ninth-Grade Alchemist!

Such a young Ninth-Grade Alchemist, he is simply a monster, a monster.

Feng Qianchi was also incredibly surprised, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Kid, let me see this Medicinal Pill of yours."

"..."

Xie Weilou handed the Medicinal Pill to Feng Qianchi.

Feng Qianchi took the Medicinal Pill and began to observe it seriously: "A Ninth-Grade Early Stage Guixu Medicinal Pill. The quality is not bad either; it is much better than the ones refined by many Ninth-Grade Alchemists. Not bad!"

Judging from Xie Weilou's refining situation just now, it seems this kid was refining a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill for the first time.

To be able to succeed the first time, and for the quality not to be bad, this is very terrifying.

Xie Weilou pondered: "I will refine it one more time."

"Good!"

Feng Qianchi immediately took the Medicinal Pill and retreated. As for those outside waiting in line for the assessment, he could not be bothered to pay attention to them at this moment.

Boom!

Xie Weilou summoned the Taixu Spirit Fire and continued the refining process.

This time, his refining speed had increased significantly, and the speed at which he melted the ingredients was even more rapid.

Many steps that had no problems were completed quickly, while for the steps where he found problems, he slowed down.

"The speed has increased."

Feng Qianchi and the middle-aged man stared at Xie Weilou, as if they were looking at a monster.

This kid's speed had increased without a single mistake, and he was even more skillful. Such a speed of progress made people feel it was unbelievable.

At this moment, Feng Qianchi and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and they could not help but wonder if their own talent was too poor.

Because when they refined Medicinal Pills and improved their Alchemy level, they simply could not achieve such rapid progress.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Xie Weilou's second furnace of Medicinal Pills was completed. Three azure Guixu Medicinal Pills flew out from the Pill Furnace. This time, the Qi was more majestic, and the fragrance was richer.

"He succeeded again, and it was three of them!"

The middle-aged man only felt his scalp tingle. Such progress, such speed—this could no longer be called human!

Xie Weilou stretched out his hand, and the three Medicinal Pills flew into his palm. He took a look, and a trace of a smile finally appeared on his face.

The three Guixu Medicinal Pills had a higher quality, and one of them even had a pill pattern.

Feng Qianchi's figure moved, and he arrived at Xie Weilou's side: "Let me see."

Xie Weilou handed the three Medicinal Pills to Feng Qianchi.

Feng Qianchi took the Medicinal Pills and tested them. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Three Guixu Medicinal Pills, all of which have reached the Ninth-Grade Middle Stage in quality. One of them is even more extraordinary, having a pill pattern..."

"Ninth-Grade Middle Stage?"

The middle-aged man gave a bitter smile; he was already numb.

Xie Weilou shook his head and said: "It is only a Guixu Medicinal Pill; it counts for nothing."

What he was refining at the moment was only the Guixu Medicinal Pill. He had to try all the other Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pills to improve the quantity, grade, and pill patterns of the Medicinal Pills.

Only after everything was without problems would his Ninth-Grade Alchemy be considered a true success.

However, these were all minor issues. As long as he entered the Danhe Realm, there would certainly be no shortage of Alchemy tasks, and by then, he could completely keep trying...
