Chapter 109 – Creating The Pill

Xiao Yun was relatively undisturbed at the Yuan residence, and no one came to bother him. The second day, Yuan Tian Ju brought the medicinal ingredients for refining the Sun Antidote Pills to Xiao Yun.



“This is the Scarlet Sun Fruit. Not only does it contain Yang Qi, but also Fire Essence Qi. It has similar medicinal properties to Sun Essence Fruit. However, when refined with the other medicinal ingredients, they refuse to fuse. As such, even though I’ve tried 10 or so times, I’ve failed every time,” Yuan Tian Ju said as he took out fist-sized fruit. “I wonder if young sir Xiao has any ways to deal with this.”

“The Scarlet Sun Fruit?” Xiao Yun received the fruit, detecting a scorching aura emanating from it. This sort of aura contained a powerful Yang Qi, and seemed quite similar to Sun Essence Fruit.

“Don’t worry, just leave this to me.” After having a look at the Scarlet Sun Fruit, Xiao Yun looked at Yuan Tian Ju as he said, “I’ll start refining the pill now. Please stand guard outside and don’t let anyone else come near, so as to prevent me from being distracted.”

 Seeing how prudent Xiao Yun was, Yuan Tian Ju felt quite surprised, and suspected whether the youth already knew what to do. As such, he replied, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t allow anyone to disrupt you.”

“That’s good,” Xiao Yun said as he turned and walked into the room.

There were all sorts of medicinal ingredients, and there were ten or so portions. There were even four Scarlet Sun Fruits.

The s.p.a.ce between Xiao Yun’s eyebrows flashed as he brought out the Violet Flame Cauldron. After trying a few times and destroying a few portions of medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yun gained a deeper understanding towards them.

Following this, he refined all of the other medicinal ingredients into a medicinal paste, leaving behind the Scarlet Sun Fruit.

The Sun Essence Fruit contained Yang Qi, which countered the Moon Demon Poison. Adding on the Pure Marrow Gra.s.s and the Blood Refining Flower, the medicinal ingredients mixed together would be able to eliminate the Moon Demon Poison. There would be almost no difference in using a Scarlet Sun Fruit – after all, Scarlet Sun Fruits also contained Yang Qi, as well as Fire Essence Qi, which countered dark and evil poisons. As such, there was not much difference between using a Sun Essence Fruit or a Scarlet Sun Fruit. However, the other medicinal ingredients refused to fuse with the Scarlet Sun Fruit. Because of this, Yuan Tian Ju had failed numerous times, and had nearly started growing white hairs out of frustration.

However, Xiao Yun did not have this sort of worry. After refining the Mysterious Congealing Pills, he gained more understanding towards his Martial Spirit’s dewdrops’ G.o.dly effects. The dewdrops could add moderation to the medicinal effects, making the medicinal ingredients fuse smoothly. Additionally, the dewdrops also contained the aura of life, greatly improving the qualities of the medicinal pill.

“Which dewdrop should I use?” Xiao Yun asked as he looked at his Martial Spirit in his sea of consciousness. There was a Fire Essence Qi dewdrop on a red leaf, as well as a jade-green dewdrop on the jade-green leaf.

“The Fire Essence Qi dewdrop will most likely be able to cleanse poisons, and will be able to increase the Sun Antidote Pill’s effects,” Xiao Yun thought to himself. A light flashed between his eyebrows as a Fire dewdrop came out, entering the medicinal pill.

Not only did this dewdrop contain Fire Essence Qi, but it also contained vital essence of life, which helped fuse the medicinal pill. Just as the dewdrop entered the medicinal pill, the medicinal paste that was starting to react negatively calmed down, and slowly fused together.

Soon, a scarlet medicinal pill rapidly formed.

“Looks like my Martial Spirit’s dewdrops are very useful for pill refining.” After refining yet another medicinal pill with the dewdrop, Xiao Yun let out a breath of relief, confirming that the dewdrops from his Martial Spirit had such properties.

Buzz!

Following this, the medicinal pill was completed.

Now, even if the Yuan family burned their bridges with the Qiu family, it would be worth it. After all, with these medicinal ingredients, even Yuan Tian Ju, who had practised pill refining for 20 or 30 years, would not be able to refine a Sun Antidote Pill!

After waiting for about an hour, the people outside heard footsteps.

“Could he have finished refining the pill?”

“Did he succeed or did he fail?”

“He’s only been in there for an hour; surely he failed,” everyone thought to themselves, feeling more and more nervous as the footsteps came closer and closer. This was especially so for the Third Patriarch – after all, this concerned his daughter’s life.

“Everyone’s here?” Xiao Yun held the scarlet medicinal pill as he walked out of his room. When he saw everyone gathered outside of the room, he paused, feeling quite confused. However, soon, he understood why they were all here.

“Haha, young sir Xiao, were you able to create the pill?” Yuan Tian Ju asked as he went up and smiled. “It’s alright; you’ve only had a few tries, so failing is normal. I can keep collecting medicinal ingredients, though it will take more time to gather more Scarlet Sun Fruits.”

After seeing Xiao Yun’s look of confusion, Yuan Tian Ju a.s.sumed that Xiao Yun had failed, and did not know how to tell everyone.

“Young sir Xiao, are you still confident about being able to refine the pill?” the Third Patriarch anxiously asked.

The other people all looked at Xiao Yun coldly.

“How could he refine a Sun Antidote Pill?” some of the youths asked, looking at Xiao Yun in derision. There was someone else who was looking at Xiao Yun with narrowed eyes – this was Yuan Xiao, a genius who had affinity with Fire Essence Qi, and who had been learning pill refining since he was young.

“Did I say that I failed?” Looking at everyone’s expressions, Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

“You didn’t fail?” Yuan Tian Ju asked as he stared at Xiao Yun.

“Of course I didn’t,” Xiao Yun said as he rolled his eyes. “Even though I ruined some of the medicinal ingredients, I was still able to refine this Sun Antidote Pill in the end. However, I’m not sure if it will be able to completely eliminate that Moon Demon Poison after having one of its medicinal ingredients subst.i.tuted.”

“You refined it! Did I hear correctly? You said that you refined the Sun Antidote Pill?” Yuan Tian Ju exclaimed as he stared.

“Haha, hurry and let us have a look,” one of the youths coldly laughed.

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and flipped his palm, as a scarlet medicinal pill appeared between two of his fingers.

This medicinal pill was about as big as a pigeon’s egg and had a glossy appearance. There were strands of aroma coming out from it that gathered like mist. Upon smelling the aroma, one would feel as if their mind had been refreshed.

“This is the Sun Antidote Pill?” Yuan Tian Ju’s eyes lit up, hurriedly stepping forwards as he looked at the medicinal pill between the youth’s fingers. After examining it carefully and smelling it, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

The Eldest Patriarch and Third Patriarch also walked over. They looked at Yuan Tian Ju and did not say anything, because he was the only one who had the right to say whether this was a Sun Antidote Pill.

“Fourth Uncle, is this really a Sun Antidote Pill?” the youths asked as they frowned. Seeing Xiao Yun take out a medicinal pill, they had felt quite shocked. However, they still did not believe that this was a Sun Antidote pill – after all, Xiao Yun could have taken out a medicinal pill in an attempt to trick them.

“This medicinal pill indeed has Pure Marrow Gra.s.s and Blood Refining Flower, but its smell and colour are somewhat different to a Sun Antidote Pill,” Yuan Tian Ju muttered as he stared at the medicinal pill. “Strange, just how was this medicinal pill refined?”

“Haha, that’s right. How could that boy have refined a Sun Antidote Pill?” the youths laughed as they looked at Xiao Yun mockingly.

“Somewhat different?” Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes, feeling quite curious.

“Just what sort of medicinal pill is it?” The Third Patriarch became incredibly impatient.

“Young sir Xiao, can I please have a closer look at this medicinal pill?” Yuan Tian Ju asked, not saying more as he stared at the pill.

“Of course,” Xiao Yun said as he shrugged and handed the medicinal pill to Yuan Tian Ju.

After receiving the medicinal pill, Yuan Tian Ju brought it to his nose and closely sniffed it, narrowing his eyes in thought, as if he was trying to a.n.a.lyse what the medicinal pill contained. However, even after ten or so minutes, he was unable to tell.

“How strange,” Yuan Tian Ju said in confusion, shaking his head.

“What is it?” The Yuan family’s people were all feeling incredibly tense. This was especially so for the Third Patriarch, who had already been incredibly nervous. Seeing Yuan Tian Ju’s expression, he felt an itch within his heart. If it wasn’t because he was not familiar with pill refining, he would have already s.n.a.t.c.hed over the pill to a.n.a.lyse it himself.

“What is it, Fourth Patriarch?” Xiao Yun asked, after seeing Yuan Tian Ju mull over the pill for so long.

Only now did Yuan Tian Ju stop a.n.a.lysing the medicinal pill. Seeing this, everyone’s gazes fell on Yuan Tian Ju.

“This medicinal pill indeed has the Sun Antidote Pill’s medicinal ingredients in the right proportions, and also has the Scarlet Sun Fruit’s medicinal effects,” Yuan Tian Yu said.

“So it’s a Sun Antidote Pill?” the Third Patriarch asked as he let out a breath.

“Mm,” Yuan Tian Ju nodded. “This can be counted as the modified version of the Sun Antidote Pill. However, there’s an extra medicinal ingredient inside, and from its aura, it should be incredibly precious. Young sir Xiao, can you tell me what you added?”

Yuan Tian Ju’s gaze was incredibly sincere, and his tone became even more respectful. He could tell that this medicinal pill was quite extraordinary, and possessed an aura of life, which was extremely rare. With his decades of pill refining experience, he suspected that it was this extra ingredient that allowed the pill to fuse properly.

“I’m sorry, but that’s a secret,” Xiao Yun apologized.

“Haha, no, no, it was me who was too rude.”

Yuan Tian Ju smiled in disappointment. As a Pill Refiner, he knew that these sorts of secrets were incredibly precious, and a master might not even pa.s.s them to his disciple.

Seeing Yuan Tian Ju act like this, all of the Yuan family’s people were completely stunned.

“Old Fourth, does that mean this medicinal pill is complete?” the Third Patriarch asked.

“Mm. Not only is this medicinal pill complete, but its effects are even better than I expected. Haha, perhaps Ting’Er really will be cured of the Moon Demon Poison,” Yuan Tian Ju said with a serious expression.

“Really?” The Third Patriarch was incredibly delighted.

“Mm,” Yuan Tian Ju continuously nodded.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry and take it to Ting’Er then!” The Eldest Patriarch was also overjoyed, and did not give off the imposing and strict air that he normally did. He only felt care and love towards his juniors, and sympathy towards his niece who had been suffering from this Moon Demon Poison for so many years!
