Chapter 66 - Accept Wholeheartedly

Editor: Phoobiee

Although a Fire Martial Spirit and variant flames were both spiritual fires, the difference between them was like the difference between heaven and earth. Cultivators who controlled variant flames would be greatly restricted in how well they could control them; they would not be able to reach the level of fusing one"s mind with the flame. Only by completely fusing with a variant flame and making it their Martial Spirit would one be able to fuse their mind with the flame.

Just as Master Yuan was feeling shocked about Xiao Yun"s control of the flames, the youth had already successfully refined the first set of medicinal ingredients. Xiao Yun controlled the flames to bring the medicinal paste to the other side of the pill cauldron and threw down another set of medicinal ingredients.

Whoosh!

The flames within the cauldron flashed and started to cover and refine the medicinal ingredients that had just been thrown in. The first batch of medicinal paste was on another side of the cauldron being enwrapped by an extremely small flame, slowly being refined by the mild fire.

"He can actually mult.i.task!" Master Yuan looked even more dismayed.

As a Pill Refiner, he knew just how difficult it was to control two flames of different temperatures to refine two different sets of things.  

Even if someone were to accomplish this, it shouldn"t be possible within a mere month or two.

Even those who had refined pills for many years would be incredibly cautious; if their control was even slightly off, the refined medicinal paste would be destroyed. The medicinal pill would have to be refined from the start again, which would increase the chances of failure.

However, the youth seemed to be incredibly relaxed, and he didn"t have any hesitation or nervousness on his face at all.

"Has he truly learned pill refining for only a month?" Master Yuan wondered as he stared wide-eyed at the youth.

At the side, the elders of the various families also looked on in awe, each with their own thoughts. Although most present did not know how to refine pills, they still understood how difficult it would be to split one"s mind into two tasks when refining pills.

It had to be known that the size of the flames, the temperature of the flames, as well as the time for which the things were being refined all had precise requirements. If there was even a slight error, the pill"s grade would be lowered, or the medicinal ingredients would even be destroyed immediately.

When the people on the side watched the youth"s actions, they started to sweat; it was evident how anxious everyone was feeling.

Whoosh!

The flames flashed and sent the second batch of medicinal paste to the side to be carefully refined. Xiao Yun then took a third set of medicinal ingredients and threw them into the pill cauldron. A violet light flashed as another stream of flames separated itself from the rest, starting to refine this third set of medicinal ingredients.

At this moment, Xiao Yun had split his mind into there. Despite this, his control over the flames was just as precise, and he didn"t seem like he would make an error. This sort of control wasn"t something that someone who had learned pill refining for a mere month could achieve.

"Such proficient techniques and such incredible control… he should have been refining pills for many years by now!" Master Yuan cried out inwardly. It was impossible to imagine that this degree of control and proficiency was from a youth who had learned pill refining for only a month. This was evidently the work of an expert!

Although he felt incredibly shocked, Master Yuan did not dare to make any noise, for one couldn"t be disturbed while refining pills.

Xiao Yun continued to throw in medicinal ingredients. At the end, there were 7 sets of medicinal ingredients for the Innate Pill within the cauldron simultaneously.

Xiao Yun had split his flames into seven - this sort of control completely dumbfounded those present.

"Is this child even human?" Master Yuan was flabbergasted - even he couldn"t do such a thing! Normally, Master Yuan would take out the medicinal paste after it was refined and put it aside. Once all of the medicinal ingredients had been refined into medicinal paste, he would put them into the cauldron together to refine. He had never seen a youth controlling seven sets at once.

"Just how powerful does his spirit energy need to be to attain such control?" Master Yuan wondered as his gaze increasingly filled with respect towards the youth. It was as if he was facing a Pill Master, rather than someone he was testing!

After refining the 7 sets of medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yun started to fuse them together.

This was the most important step in pill refining - forming the pill.

Whether the pill could take shape depended on this, and there were many things that could cause failure.

If the medicinal properties of the medicinal ingredients were not refined properly, the various medicinal ingredients would not fuse. Moreover, if a Pill Refiner"s control was not sufficient, or they were disturbed by an external factor, that could also affect the forming of the pill. There were also many other things that could lead to failure.

And yet, Xiao Yun looked just as relaxed.

He could handle even the berserk medicinal strength of Pure Essence Pills and Mysterious Congealing Pills; why would he need to feel nervous about mere Innate Pills? He had already refined over 100 of these pills in the past!

After covering the pill cauldron, Xiao Yun started to use the flames to form the pill.

Not too long after, strands of medicinal fragrance seeped out from the cauldron. Everyone felt as if their minds had cleared when they smelt this medicinal fragrance.

"What a dense medicinal fragrance!"

"He"s about to form the pill." The elders all inwardly marvelled.

By the side, Master Yuan watched on with a burning gaze, filled with antic.i.p.ation.

"Looks like this Xiao Yun truly isn"t simple!" Duke Yan"s eyes narrowed as he smiled widely.

As everyone"s hearts were filled with expectation, the medicinal fragrance continued to waft out as the pill cauldron slightly trembled.

"Is he going to succeed?" At this moment, everyone focused all of their attention on the pill cauldron.

Nearby, Master Yuan also felt incredibly nervous. So far, this youth hadn"t destroyed even a single set of medicinal ingredients, and had gone through the entire process without stopping. If he could successfully refine this pill, Master Yuan, more than anyone else, knew just what this signified!

At this moment, Xiao Yun came out of his trance. With a slight thought, the violet flames receded from the pill cauldron and were absorbed back into his body. He then opened the cover of the cauldron as an incredibly aromatic pill fragrance wafted out and a light yellow coloured medicinal pill appeared.

The medicinal pill was sparkling and translucent, looking like a precious gem that glittered with light. Xiao Yun"s hand move and a wave of Essence Qi brought the medicinal pill out.

This control caused everyone to sigh in amazement.

"The pill has formed?" When they saw the medicinal pill in Xiao Yun"s hands, the elders of the various families all came closer, curious looks in their eyes. It was the first time they had seen someone else refine a pill.

"Can I have a look?" Master Yuan came over with an excited look. His opinion of this youth had greatly changed, and he even spoke with a much more respectful tone. It was as if he was facing a senior, and was filled with humility."

"Mm." Xiao Yun calmly looked at the medicinal pill in his hand before handing it to Master Yuan.

Master Yuan received the medicinal pill and continuously looked it over. It was about as big as a longan, and was faint yellow, but shone with light. When one looked closely, they would find that it looked like a precious stone which was smooth and slippery.

"This sort of colour shows that it does not have any impurities, and the medicinal properties have been refined incredibly. This sort of medicinal pill is at least a Grade 2 Innate Pill!" Master Yuan held the pill and continuously appraised it. He repeatedly praised it, "If it wasn"t because the medicinal ingredients weren"t of great quality, this medicinal pill should be at least a Grade 3 pill."

"It should have been a Grade 3 pill?" The nearby elders" eyes almost fell out. In other words, if this youth was given good ingredients, he would be able to refine even better medicinal pills!

Just what did a Grade 3 pill signify? Everyone felt as if their hearts were going to leap out of their chests.

It should be known that Master Yuan could ordinarily only refine Grade 1 Innate Pills, and could only refine Grade 2 Innate Pills when his luck was good.

And yet, it had taken this youth to refine this sort of pill with a single attempt. What did this signify?

"Have you truly learned pill refining for only a month?" Master Yuan felt incredibly excited, and pulled the youth"s hand as he asked.

"Mm," Xiao Yun replied as he smiled.

"Just a single month?" Master Yuan fixedly stared at the youth in front of him as he inwardly exclaimed, "Is this boy even human? Could he really be the reincarnation of a Pill Master?" He simply couldn"t understand what was going on.

To be able to easily refine a Grade 2 pill after learning pill refining for a single month… if this talent was made public, it would shock the world!

"Have I pa.s.sed your test now?" Xiao Yun scratched his head as he gave an embarra.s.sed smile.

"Test?" Master Yuan said in surprise, "This can"t even be called a test anymore. With your talent, you"re already a Second or even Third Rank Pill Refiner. If I report this to the family, my Yuan family will definitely notify the elders in the Heaven Origin Sect and take you in."

"Of course, perhaps you"ve already obtained an inheritance and have excellent pill refining skills, but having someone guide you is still good. Our ancestor"s status in the Heaven Origin Sect is extraordinary and will be able to protect you; he"s not someone the Qiu family"s old ghost can compare to." Master Yuan evidently looked incredibly excited, and rapidly spoke. It was as if he was afraid that this youth would refuse to study under his ancestor.

How could they let such a genius slip by?

"I"ll have to trouble Master Yuan then," Xiao Yun said as he smiled.

If this could bring him out of danger, he would be more than willing.

"Haha, this young brother"s talent is extraordinary, and is the most outstanding genius I"ve met. You"re too courteous," Master Yuan said as he grinned. "This… let"s address each other as equals." This elderly man suddenly didn"t seem cold and distant anymore.

"Address each other as equals?" Xiao Yun felt quite shocked as he looked at the elderly man next to him. Master Yuan wasn"t very tall, and was quite skinny, but was at least 50 or 60-years-old.

And yet he wanted Xiao Yun and himself to address each other as equals?

Duke Yan and the Xiao family"s old patriarch also looked flabbergasted.

Why would Master Yuan - who rarely displayed any emotions - request this?

"Heheh, I see that you have a special understanding towards medicinal pills. I wonder if we can compare notes sometimes when you"re free?" Master Yuan said as he rubbed his hands together.

"Pfft!" The people present almost vomited out blood. So it turned out that the old man wanted pointers from this youth on pill refining! However, at the same time, they also felt how extraordinary Xiao Yun was - for Master Yuan to discard his pride like this, the youth"s skills were definitely amazing.

"Haha, I was hoping we could do that too." Xiao Yun smiled when he saw how courteously Master Yuan was behaving. Master Yuan was quite a prominent figure, so there would be no harm in him having a good relationship with the Xiao family. After all, Xiao Yun wouldn"t stay in the Violet Cloud County forever.

"Great, shall we go to my residence later?" Master Yuan asked.

"Very well," Xiao Yun nodded. "But I don"t have any medicinal ingredients."

"Don"t worry," Master Yuan replied. "My Cloudsea Merchant Alliance has plenty of medicinal ingredients."

"Haha, Xiao family"s old patriarch, don"t you worry - my Yuan family will definitely take care of the matter with the Qiu family. I can promise that they won"t dare to do anything to you." After chatting for a bit, Master Yuan eagerly dragged Xiao Yun away. "Heheh, this elderly one will be borrowing your grandson for a few days!"
