Chapter 209: Pill Concocted
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Let me do it.”
The sudden voice made everyone quieten down. They looked towards the direction of the voice. It was Lin Bai, who had just subdued the black qi.
Although Lin Bai had displayed great strength just now, no one here knew him. There were even fewer people who had seen Lin Bai refine pills. No one knew how good he was.
At this time, the pill was already halfway through the refinement. The rest was related to the life and death of everyone. They didn’t dare to let Lin Bai act rashly. They only asked hesitantly, “Can you do it or not?”
When everyone said this, they didn’t have any other meaning. It was just that when refining pills normally, it was rare to see a change of people. Moreover, this was refining a grade nine pill. They didn’t even know if Lin Bai was confident.
Faced with everyone’s doubts, Lin Bai did not directly answer. He only said indifferently, “There’s not much time left.”
The flames in the cauldron became dimmer and dimmer. Yan Hua was seriously injured and could no longer provide spiritual power. The flames would naturally extinguish. Right now, it was barely aflame. The pill refinement had reached the most critical moment. If no one came up to take over Yan Hua, they would definitely fail in the end.
The final step was also the most critical step. After all, there were ninety-nine types of medicinal ingredients that needed to be fused together. If one or two of them were not successfully fused, it would cause the medicinal properties to clash and the pill refinement to fail. It could be said that it was extremely harsh.
The flames grew weaker and weaker, as if there was an invisible giant rock pressing down on everyone. They had to make a decision as soon as possible. They could not drag it out any longer. However, the black qi was also restless in the cage and was cackling strangely.
“How could you possibly refine a medicinal pill? So what if you can refine it? In the end, you’ll still fail. Rather than wasting your energy, it’s better to wait here obediently for death…”
The crowd couldn’t be bothered with it, and their gazes fell on Yan Hua. “Elder Yan, what do you think?” After all, he was the only one who had the right to make a decision here.
Besides Lin Bai, who had volunteered himself, no one else took the initiative to come up. Yan Hua said without hesitation, “You do it.” At this point in time, they had no other choice. If they wanted to live, they could only trust Lin Bai.
“You can continue to use my cauldron. This cauldron of mine has been fused with half a piece of a divine artifact. It will be more effective for you to refine pills with half the effort.”
Although it might not be convenient to use someone else’s cauldron, Yan Hua’s cauldron could also be considered a top-grade magic artifact. It could provide Lin Bai with a lot of help and could offset his shortcoming.
Moreover, the pills were already in this cauldron and were about to be refined into shape. If the cauldron was suddenly changed at this moment, it was very likely that the medicinal effects would be lost. In the end, the pill formation would fail because of these losses. In short, it was filled with unstable factors.
Who would have thought that Lin Bai would actually shake his head and refuse? A white light flashed in the air, and what appeared in front of everyone was actually a small black broken cauldron.
Without waiting for Yan Hua to stop him, Lin Bai’s eyes and hands were already quick. He muttered something, and the lid of the cauldron that was originally carved with all sorts of rare and exotic beasts automatically opened. A stream of pure liquid spontaneously flowed into the pitch-black cauldron.
The contrast between the two was even more obvious. Yan Hua’s cauldron looked ancient and solemn, filled with the aura of history. Even the body of the cauldron was engraved with complicated patterns, and those exotic flowers and plants seemed to be coming to life.
On the other hand, Lin Bai’s furnace was pitch-black, broken and small. There was nothing in it. It was like coming from the Heavenly Immortal Palace to a furnace in the countryside in an instant. Many people stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape.
Yan Hua suddenly felt a sense of regret. He kept feeling that it was a wrong decision to let Lin Bai refine pills.
“You –” but it was useless to say anything now. Lin Bai had already started and could not be stopped unless he stopped himself. If outsiders forcefully interfered, it would only cause the pills to become unstable and eventually fail.
Yan Hua did not dare to gamble, and the others also did not dare to gamble.
“What on Earth is he thinking? It can’t be that he wants to drag all of us down to h.e.l.l together, right?”
Previously, everyone was still somewhat grateful for Lin Bai’s action, but now that they saw that he didn’t use a good furnace and actually used a small broken furnace, everyone was somewhat confused.
“Who doesn’t know that elder Yan’s furnace has the effect of neutralizing medicinal plants and helping them fuse together very well? He actually chose that small broken furnace!”
Everyone was talking in low voices, and there was some dissatisfaction in their words.
“Cough cough –“in the end, it was Yan Hua who coughed a few times to suppress the voices of discussion. “Since it has already started, there’s no turning back. Do you still want to disturb him?”
It was only then that they remembered that their lives were all related to this pill. They looked at Lin Bai nervously, afraid that he would make a mistake in some aspect.
However, Lin Bai’s movements were fluid and smooth, and his expression was incomparably calm. It seemed that it was not a difficult problem for him.
The medicinal fragrance in the air became more and more intense. A glint flashed across Yan Hua’s eyes, and even his pale face became much better. Could it be that Lin Bai could really succeed in refining it?
The black gas in the cage was still swearing. Originally, everyone would still argue with it, but now they had no mood to do so.
A ball of golden light slowly condensed, and even the small, dilapidated furnace became somewhat extraordinary. One could vaguely see all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, and their figures were even more solid and heavy than before, as if they were real.
Everyone vaguely heard the cries of dragons and phoenixes. In short, the feeling was mysterious and magical. It could not be described with words.
All kinds of strange phenomena appeared in front of their eyes, and then all of them sank into the furnace. Then, the golden light suddenly exploded.
“Boom!”
With a loud sound, everyone retreated together. They were pushed far away by the fluctuation of spiritual power. However, Yan Hua’s face was full of excitement, and he almost couldn’t speak.. “This, this is a success!”
