Classic alchemy plot, unknown elder

The classic 'trouble for no reason' trope, inviting ridicule.

With a disdainful smile, he began Alchemy, deliberately showing off his skills to shock everyone.

Xiao Fan found this plot device increasingly familiar.

Next, would he refine a first-grade Immortal Pill, trigger a Pill Tribulation anomaly, and thoroughly shock everyone?

Ultimately, Elder Ouyang would be astonished, submit, and casually address him as Senior.

Although the subsequent story had not yet unfolded, Xiao Fan already had a general understanding of what would happen next.

Sure enough, the Disciple from the Pill Pavilion took out a bronze Medicine Cauldron and placed it in front of the young man.

The attendant said, "Kid, don't play tricks on me. If you can't refine a Medicinal Pill, I'll twist your head off."

The young man nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, this small matter can't stump me."

With that, he flipped his right hand, and a quietblue flame rose from his empty palm.

The air around the quietblue flame solidified, and snowflakes drifted down.

" quietblue Cold Fire," the attendant exclaimed in shock.

Clearly, the level of this flame had exceeded his imagination.

"Senior Attendant, is that the legendary quietblue Cold Fire, second only to the Nether Cold Flame?" a Pill Pavilion Disciple exclaimed.

"That's right, among cold fires, it ranks second, on the same level as the Nine Blazing Flames."

"Legend has it that quietblue Cold Fire and Nine Blazing Flames are born together, and they are the dream Alchemy flames for us Cultivators of the Pill Dao."

No sooner had the attendant finished speaking than another golden, dazzling flame, seemingly with nine great suns burning within it, appeared in the young man's hand.

It was precisely the Nine Blazing Flames.

A scorching aura assailed them, warming the air so much that they couldn't even take a deep breath of cool air.

"He wouldn't really be able to refine it, would he?"

"Perhaps. I see his fire manipulation technique, and his decomposition, refining, and purification of Medicinal Pills have already reached Transcendent realm. Could he be a born Alchemy Saint Body?"

Listening to the praise from others, the young man couldn't help but smile smugly and said,

"You wanted to kick me out just now, kid. When I see Elder Ouyang, I'll deal with you immediately."

He said to the Disciple who had just received him.

The Pill Pavilion Disciple's face instantly turned pale.

What kind of situation was this? He was sure he hadn't made a mistake; everything was done according to the rules.

But if the other party had real ability, the Elder certainly wouldn't offend an Alchemy Genius for his sake, and might even hand him over to apologize.

His heart was like dead ash, feeling his future was bleak.

Xiao Fan saw it and secretly shook his head.

With such great ability, why bother with a small shop assistant?

If he had just stated his purpose at the beginning, directly saying he could complete the Pill Formula, wouldn't that have been enough?

Seeing Xiao Fan shake his head, Dragon Ningbing nervously said,

"Young Master, do you not like this purple?"

Ning Bing had changed into a purple immortal dress. Her personality was somewhat conservative, with the collar covering her neck. The purple clothing complemented her fair jade neck, and the fabric was thick.

Her nervous and shy demeanor had a unique charm.

She held up the hem of her skirt with both hands and twirled in front of Xiao Fan.

It felt fine; her tail could be seen and wasn't covered.

Xiao Fan looked at Ning Bing in her new clothes. Indeed, a beautiful person looks good in anything. He said,

"This dress is very nice. If you like it, you can buy it."

"If Young Master likes it, I like it," Dragon Ningbing said with a sweet smile.

"I like it very much."

"Then I like it too," Dragon Ningbing nodded.

Only Xiao Fang stood aside, gnawing on a rabbit leg, at a loss. Are you two talking without me?

"Daddy, I want new clothes too," Xiao Fang said.

"Sister Ning Bing is so beautiful, I want to dress up beautifully too."

Xiao Fan laughed heartily and bought her new clothes as well.

A little imp.

As for the newly appeared Child of Destiny, Xiao Fan didn't plan to let him live too long; he would deal with him later.

He wanted to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, did he? Xiao Fan planned to turn him into a pig and let him experience being eaten.

Splitting off a Divine Thought to handle it was enough, lest it spoil his happy mood with Ning Bing.

The Divine Thought ascended, overlooking heaven and earth, its gentle Divine Sense like fine rain, silently and thoroughly permeating every corner.

Xiao Fan was searching for the so-called Elder Ouyang.

He initially thought it would be easy to find, specifically looking for various Alchemy rooms.

After all, such an Alchemy Grandmaster was very likely to be an old man.

However, Xiao Fan's Divine Sense swept through the entire Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but he couldn't find a decent old man.

Instead, in an Alchemy palace, he saw a ruddy-faced middle-aged man indulging in pleasure with a graceful and beautiful woman.

They were intertwined like mandarin ducks, engaging in romantic affairs, morning to night.

Xiao Fan happened to witness the entire process: the light curtains, the red-faced beauty, a fragrant and sensual moment.

And it truly was just a moment.

See no evil. When the two pulled up their pants, Xiao Fan's Divine Sense was about to leave, but unexpectedly, the woman's words pulled Xiao Fan back.

"Elder Ouyang, I've already given myself to you. You must refine that Medicinal Pill you promised me."

"Don't worry, I never break my word. But this is just a deposit; you'll have to pay the final balance when you take the medicine."

Slap!

With that, he suddenly slapped her jade buttocks.

The woman's pretty face flushed. Was this the final balance?

The two exchanged smiles, everything unsaid.

The beautiful woman, after a brief touch-up with light makeup, reverted to an elegant and dignified appearance. She put on a black veil and left through the back door.

Xiao Fan fell into contemplation. This Elder was not what he had imagined.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Alchemy Grandmasters and Artifact Refining Grandmasters all be old men?

Before Xiao Fan could think further, Elder Ouyang, who looked middle-aged, sighed, "Alas, am I no longer capable? Only a quarter of an hour."

He seemed to doubt his life. It appeared he had indulged excessively. Even a Great Luo Kidney couldn't withstand the daily leakage of vital Qi and essence.

"When I was young, I was too poor, and my Dao Companion ran off with someone else."

"From then on, I worked hard to learn the Pill Dao, finally earning a fortune, and my cultivation also soared, even earning the title of Pill Dao Grandmaster."

"Some people, to beg me to refine Medicinal Pills, would even give me their wives and daughters. I suppose it was because of the unresolved regrets of my youth that I became addicted to lust."

"What was unobtainable in youth will forever bind me."

He spoke with a hint of sadness.

Xiao Fan was amused. This old pervert was even finding excuses for himself.

But this Alchemy profession is quite deep.

Initially, they only collected various treasures. After earning a fortune, ordinary things certainly couldn't move them, so they would turn to other forms of stimulation.

This industry is not simple; most people can't handle it.

Xiao Fan was glad he had the Desolate Ancient [Kidney] Body; otherwise, with periods of thousands of years, too many times would also leave him listless like this Elder Ouyang.

"How many years has it been? Has no one completed the Pill Formula for the Male Yang Pill on the stone tablet outside the door?"

"I've tried countless medicines, and that Male Yang Pill is the most promising. If it can be completed, I will surely regain my vigor!" he said with certainty.

Xiao Fan was dumbfounded.

Ah?! The incomplete Pill Formula on the stone tablet outside was actually for something like that.

Everything made sense.

If it were a profound cultivation Pill, the young man's cultivation just now wasn't high, so he certainly couldn't refine it.

Only this kind of unconventional Medicinal Pill, which takes an unorthodox approach and doesn't require profound cultivation, no wonder he was so confident, saying he could refine this kind of Medicinal Pill.

Xiao Fan only felt his brain wasn't enough. The outwardly glamorous and universally respected Pill Dao Grandmaster was secretly seeking such vulgar Medicinal Pills.

Could this be what they call 'knowing a person's face but not their heart'? High-class people doing low-class things.

A Disciple came to report.

"Elder Ouyang, Disciple has an important matter to report."

"What is it?" he said indifferently, waving his hand to change into a solemn and dignified Daoist robe.

He lightly lifted his clothes and sniffed, detecting a hint of rouge and powder scent.

Then he took out a Medicinal Pill, crushed it, and it instantly burst forth with a pervasive fragrance, like the scent of medicine soaked in a medicine jar.

He was solemn and serious, expressionless, with a large 'Pill' character engraved on his right chest.

Especially the strong medicinal scent emanating from him, which made it clear at a glance that he was a Pill Dao Grandmaster.

If he hadn't witnessed the whole process just now, Xiao Fan would never have imagined that he would be that kind of person in private.

No wonder there's the saying 'some people rely on clothes' and 'you can't judge a book by its cover.' These contradictory sayings can truly perfectly merge in one person.

The Disciple outside the door replied, "Elder, a young man came here. He said he can complete the Pill Formula you set."

Elder Ouyang, whose face was originally calm, immediately became excited upon hearing these words.

The tightly locked door burst open, and he swept in like a gale, blowing the Disciple outside backward.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Elder Ouyang said excitedly, his hands trembling uncontrollably, his reddened eyes full of anticipation.

The Disciple bowed his head respectfully and said, "The incomplete stone tablet Pill Formula you left behind, someone can decipher it, and he is currently refining it."

"It will be out soon."

Out!

Elder Ouyang could no longer suppress his excitement and directly transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the Pill Pavilion.

The problem that had plagued his 'little brother' for so long was finally about to see the light!

The violent aura once again knocked the Disciple to the ground.

The rich aroma of Medicinal Pills made the Disciple yearn for it.

"Elder Ouyang is obsessed with the Pill Dao; the medicinal scent on him is like he just came out of a medicine jar. No wonder he has achieved what he has today."

"As soon as he heard there was a clue about the Pill Formula, he rushed over in a hurry. He is truly a model for our generation."

His admiration for Elder Ouyang increased. He wondered if he could also become such a person in the future.

Elder Ouyang arrived almost instantaneously, appearing in the main hall of the Pill Pavilion from his residence in the blink of an eye.

The attendant, seeing Elder Ouyang, was stunned and lost in thought. He actually came out to meet him personally. Could it be that this Medicinal Pill held profound secrets?

"Greetings, Elder Ouyang," the attendant said, bowing with cupped hands.

"Dispense with the formalities."

He didn't even look at the attendant, his eyes fixed on the young man who was refining Medicinal Pills.

The young man also noticed the newcomer and worked even harder, displaying his skilled Alchemy techniques, hoping to impress Elder Ouyang.

But what he didn't know was that Elder Ouyang's attention was solely on the Medicinal Pill.

"You must succeed!" Elder Ouyang encouraged.

At these words, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

"Elder Ouyang, that's Elder Ouyang!"

"Holy cow, it seems this young man really has some skills to have even startled Elder Ouyang."

"Elder Ouyang even encouraged him. Could it be that he thinks he's a talent worth cultivating?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes converged on the young man.

And he, too, reveled in the envy of the crowd. With a loud bang, twelve round, plump, silvery-white with a hint of milky-yellow Medicinal Pills slowly flew out.

He took out a green jade bottle and put the twelve Medicinal Pills into it.

"Mission accomplished!"
