Battle Through the Heavens: It turns out I'm actually the patriarch of the Xiao family!

Chapter 47 I Am Also a Genius Alchemist

At this moment, Xiao Chen was observing the giant bird-beast in front of him, which had a rather fierce appearance.

On the back of the flying monster, a house made of special wood was firmly erected.

Inside the house, there were several smaller rooms.

Xiao Chen glanced around and noticed that three of the rooms were already occupied.

Moreover, judging from their robes, they are clearly alchemists.

"My lord, this is the flying beast that flew to the desert city on the eastern border of the Gama Empire. It is the city closest to the Tagor Desert." The uniformed woman stopped in front of the flying beast and said respectfully.

"Um.

""

Nodding slightly, Xiao Chen lightly touched the ground with his toes and floated onto the broad back of the giant bird.

Then, in the dim, eerie light behind her, she walked into an empty little room.

Xiao Chen naturally knew that as a noble alchemist, he was also entitled to enjoy such high-level treatment as personal service.

He also understood what the so-called personal service meant.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen didn't like that kind of thing.

Therefore, he completely ignored the "affection" of the woman behind him.

Not long after Xiao Chen boarded the flying beast, another alchemist boarded up.

After waiting a while longer, Xiao Chen finally felt the huge flying beast's wings slowly begin to vibrate.

With a loud screech, the flying magical beast, under the command of its tamer, suddenly soared into the sky.

Sitting on the windowsill in his room, Xiao Chen gazed at the faint clouds drifting by outside.

Just as Xiao Yan said, it felt like being on an airplane.

After casually looking at the scenery outside for a while, Xiao Chen lay down on the comfortable bed and slowly closed his eyes.

I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap first, I have something important to do tonight.

The bright sky gradually darkened.

Xiao Chen was suddenly awakened by a series of strange noises.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw that the moonstone in the room had begun to emit a faint glow.

Xiao Chen looked helplessly at the room on the right.

-

From inside, the sounds of a man's heavy breathing and a woman's seductive moans could be heard continuously.

The sound insulation is terrible!

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Chen sighed.

It's a pity I didn't get to sleep until I naturally woke up.

But it doesn't matter.

Xiao Chen got out of bed and took out the Blood Lotus Essence, Ice Spirit Flame Grass, and a third-tier ice-attribute magic core from the purple-gold bracelet.

Then he took out a medicine cauldron that was entirely purple-gold in color.

"What? You really want to refine the Blood Lotus Pill that little Yao Chen mentioned?" Xiao Jin's lips twitched slightly as he glanced at the three ingredients on the table.

"Hmm, I'll give it a try. I'm just killing time anyway, and becoming an alchemist has always been my dream."

"But now that I've tried it myself, I've found it's not that difficult."

"So it seems I'm also a genius alchemist!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin rolled his eyes and said, "This isn't a second-grade pill. You haven't even touched third or fourth-grade ones, and you want to directly refine a fifth-grade one?"

"I've looked into it too. This Blood Lotus Pill is a high-grade pill that can be ranked as a fifth-grade pill. Are you sure you can do it?" Xiao Jin's face was full of disbelief.

"Tch, you're so snobbish." Xiao Chen curled his lip.

"Who are you calling a dog?" Xiao Jin's eyes instantly turned cold.

"I was just kidding. Longan looks down on people, okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just lend me your flames."

With a slight smile, Xiao Chen slowly extended his palm.

Little Gold snorted and turned its head away, but in the end, it reluctantly opened its mouth and spat out golden flames.

Instantly, the golden flame landed in Xiao Chen's palm.

Gazing at the cluster of golden flames, Xiao Chen couldn't help but lick his lips.

This fire must be even more precious than a strange fire, right?

A moment later, Xiao Chen let out a soft breath and then threw the third-order ice-attribute magic core into the cauldron.

The refining of the Blood Lotus Pill also officially began at this time.

The cluster of leaping golden flames hovered in his palm, and Xiao Chen could clearly feel the immense energy and indescribable noble aura contained within it.

He felt a warmth in his heart, glanced at Xiao Jin beside him, and grinned.

"here we go!"

With his gaze suddenly focused, Xiao Chen unleashed his soul power, and the cluster of golden flames instantly transformed into a slender and agile fire dragon, which swiftly burrowed into the specially designed fire inlet beneath the purple-gold cauldron.

"Buzz—"

The medicine cauldron emitted a deep hum, and its body shimmered with light.

Almost instantly, the temperature inside the cauldron soared, reflecting a golden light onto the purplish-gold inner wall, and a heart-pounding high-temperature fluctuation permeated the air.

Little Gold casually flicked its tail, but a subtle, almost imperceptible attention flickered in its eyes.

Xiao Chen held his breath and focused his mind. His powerful soul force, like an invisible tentacle, cautiously probed into the cauldron, sensing every flicker of the flame and the subtle changes in temperature.

This was the first time he had used Xiao Jin's natal dragon flame, and it was far more violent and unruly than when he had tried to use ordinary flames before, making it much more difficult to control.

But this didn't stump him.

After all, it was authorized by Xiao Jin.

The time is almost right!

Xiao Chen's eyes sharpened, and with a slight thought, the third-tier ice-attribute magic core, which emitted wisps of cold air, was enveloped by the blazing golden sea of ​​fire within the cauldron.

"laugh--!!"

Like a scalding hot iron thrown into ice water, a piercing, strange sound exploded inside the cauldron.

The moment it came into contact with the golden flames, the ice-attribute magic core erupted with an astonishing cold wave, and the icy blue mist surged and rose violently, desperately resisting the burning of the dragon flames.

Ice and fire, extreme high and low temperatures, engaged in a fierce battle within the confined cauldron.

Under normal circumstances, a mere third-tier ice-attribute magic core would definitely not be able to withstand such high temperatures.

It will be burned to ashes in an instant.

But since the purpose of this is to refine elixirs, it is essential to prevent the flames from destroying the magic core.

Such precise control is much more difficult than simply burning the magic core to ashes.

The cauldron trembled violently, Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Jin also slightly propped herself up.

"Refine it for me!"

Xiao Chen roared, unleashing his soul power to forcefully suppress the icy aura erupting from the demonic core. At the same time, his hands moved in different hand seals, making the golden flames at the bottom of the cauldron more concentrated and stable. It was no longer a simple burning, but a kind of forging with a subtle penetrating power.

He used the extremely yang and strong characteristics of dragon flames to domineeringly yet meticulously envelop the core of the ice-attribute magic core, stripping away its violent coldness and squeezing out and refining the pure energy within little by little.

This process lasted for a full half day before the intense struggle inside the cauldron gradually subsided.

The Ice Demon Core was no longer hard; it had transformed into a small, crystal-clear droplet of energy essence, radiating a gentle chill, which slowly floated and sank, supported by the golden flames.

It retains its ice properties while becoming incredibly docile.

Xiao Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize with a start that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

The first step was extremely risky!

Although only three materials are needed to refine the Blood Lotus Pill, the process is extremely complicated.

In the precise refining process, the slightest carelessness would burn the medicinal herbs to ashes. Not daring to relax for a moment, Xiao Chen moved his fingers again, and the blood lotus essence on the table flew into the cauldron.

"Sizzle!"

When the Blood Lotus Essence encountered the Dragon Flame, it did not resist violently like the Demon Core. Instead, it ignited instantly, like dry wood meeting a raging fire.

The nauseatingly thick stench of blood and the violent crimson energy erupted like a volcano, attempting to corrupt the gentle ice essence and rushing towards the cauldron wall with a strong corrosive force.

"Hold on!"

Xiao Chen was highly focused; the ferocity of the Blood Lotus Spirit far exceeded his expectations.

He was fully utilizing his soul power, multitasking.

While guiding Xiao Jin's dragon flames to form a flame barrier inside the cauldron, it firmly separated the crimson blood mist from the ice essence.

While manipulating another flame, like the most skillful carving knife, she carefully removed the violent impurities and unpleasant bloodthirsty aura from the blood lotus essence energy.

The scene inside the cauldron was both bizarre and magnificent.

Half of it was a churning, boiling sea of ​​blood-red mist, exuding a bloody stench.

The other half is a soft, icy blue essence, quietly suspended.

A magnificent golden wall of fire stood tall in the middle, unmoved by the crashing waves of blood.

Xiao Chen's face was already somewhat pale, and the continuous high-intensity soul manipulation was beginning to strain him.

Xiao Jin's eyes finally became completely serious. It looked at Xiao Chen's extremely focused expression as he desperately squeezed out his own potential, and a hint of surprise flashed deep in its eyes.

I never expected this guy to be so serious.

When the violent blood energy inside the cauldron was finally tempered and tamed by the golden flames, transforming into pure crimson essence, Xiao Chen knew that he had reached the final hurdle.

He took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on the last remaining Ice Spirit Flame Grass.

This miraculous herb is the key to balancing ice and fire, and fusing blood and spirit.

The Ice Spirit Flame Grass drifted into the cauldron.

Strange things happened.

It did not burn fiercely or freeze, but instead, enveloped in golden flames, it gently unfurled its blades, the icy blue and crimson light reflecting off the half-ice, half-fire leaves.

A strange balancing force spread out, seemingly actively harmonizing the distinct ice essence and crimson essence within the cauldron.

"Now!"

"Freeze!"

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with an astonishing light, but the opportunity was fleeting.

He let out a low shout, pushing his soul power to its limit, his hands forming hand seals in front of him, almost creating a blur of afterimages.

The cluster of dragon flames suddenly contracted and spun, transforming into an exquisitely crafted golden vortex.

Under the powerful suction and rotation of the vortex, the icy blue energy essence, the crimson blood lotus essence, and the balancing force emanating from the Ice Spirit Flame Grass were forcibly pulled towards the center of the vortex.

The moment the three energies came into contact, a fierce conflict erupted once again.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xiao Chen's face turned deathly pale, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

"Are we going to fail?" Xiao Jin's heart was in her throat.

At this critical moment, Xiao Chen took out a greenish-blue pill from his purple-gold bracelet.

Throw it directly into your mouth.

In an instant, a pure, cool, and gentle medicinal power rushed into my mind.

Xiao Chen's soul power was restored to its peak state.

"Melt it for me!"

A powerful surge of soul energy erupted, like the most nimble thread, guiding the balancing force of the Ice Spirit Flame Grass.

"Buzz!"

A clear sound emanated from the medicine cauldron, and then the violent conflict within the cauldron seemed to be instantly calmed down by an invisible giant hand!

The terrifying energy fluctuations quickly subsided.

The vibrations of the cauldron gradually subsided, leaving only a faint hum.

Xiao Chen's body swayed slightly, almost collapsing, but he was held up by his strong willpower.

His face was as pale as paper, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat, but his dark eyes burned with an unprecedented flame of excitement.

Xiao Jin completely abandoned her previous disdain, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"That brat—it seems he's actually managed to do something? This—this actually succeeded?"

At this moment, it felt a slight wavering in its belief in Xiao Chen's self-proclaimed title of "genius alchemist".

Perhaps it's not entirely bragging?

Inside the small room, the clouds outside rushed past rapidly.

After being tempered by flames for two and a half days, a round, blood-red pill the size of a longan was spinning rapidly in the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Chen.

Judging from the luster on its surface, it is clear that it is already undergoing the final step of the condensation process.

Xiao Jin was already stunned.

It really thought Xiao Chen was a monster.

"The pill is about to be made!" Just as Xiao Jin was secretly marveling at how incredible it was, Xiao Chen suddenly exclaimed with delight.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin immediately looked into the medicine cauldron.

Xiao Chen grinned, his palm trembled slightly, and an even more intense golden flame rose up, finally completely enveloping the blood-red pill.

As the golden flames surged rapidly several times, a fierce energy wave suddenly rippled out from the flames, spreading out of the small house like a ripple in an instant.

As the energy ripples spread, the flying magical beast was startled.

Its enormous body trembled and swayed a few times, and a shrill scream, tinged with fear, rang out in mid-air.

At the same time, the blood-red pill that was forming suddenly released an extremely rich medicinal fragrance.

Furthermore, the medicinal fragrance had a slightly reddish tinge, emanating from the house and eventually lingering in this small patch of sky.

The moment the exotic fragrance wafted out, a commotion arose in the other rooms atop the giant bird-beast.

Elixirs of grade four or higher hold a deadly allure for many, and some would risk their lives to obtain them.
