Primordial Treasure Mirror

Min Yue only refined three batches of pills today.

This was the day I trained the least compared to the past few days.

All three batches of pills failed.

Only a few discarded pills remained.

Min Yue didn't seem too disappointed. She simply discussed the failures with Chen Yuan after each batch of pills failed, trying to find out the reasons for the failures.

Chen Yuan did share some of his opinions, but whether they were useful or not remains to be seen.

After refining the third batch of pills, Min Yue flew away on the wind.

Chen Yuan was clearly also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Min Yue had only refined three batches of pills.

You should know that he was the one who processed five batches of Golden Marrow Pills.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, assuming that Min Yue was in a bad mood and had no interest in practicing.

Chen Yuan instructed everyone to get to work.

Su Yang collected the waste pills from today and took them to the Waste Pill Courtyard to dispose of them.

After finishing the matters in the alchemy room, I returned to my room.

He took out the top-grade Green Wood Pill as usual to practice his cultivation, and also improved a low-level spell called the Breathing Sound Technique.

This spell is also quite special.

It can be used to block out sound within a specific range.

It's not bad for use when two people are having a secret conversation.

The improved sound shielding effect is better, and the range is also much larger.

Day two.

Su Yang arrived at the alchemy room.

After helping Chen Yuan process the medicinal herbs.

Another half hour passed.

Min Yue still hadn't arrived.

Chen Yuan was also somewhat surprised. Min Yue hadn't given him any special instructions yesterday, so he could only guess that something had delayed her.

Another fifteen minutes or so passed.

The sound of air being torn apart finally rang out above the alchemy room.

Look up.

They discovered that two figures were simultaneously riding the wind.

A light and graceful figure, dressed in a light blue dress, appeared – it was Min Yue.

The other person was also dressed in the robes of an inner disciple, but he was a male disciple.

This person was tall and slender with a handsome face.

His brows carried a natural air of indifference.

He landed in the courtyard.

Su Yang noticed him immediately.

This person concealed his aura very well, almost imperceptible, and his spiritual power showed no fluctuations.

Yet Su Yang still keenly sensed the seamless and harmonious feeling emanating from this person.

This feeling was even stronger than when I met Steward Sun before.

Clearly, this inner disciple was also at the peak of Qi Refining.

Chen Yuan also noticed that there was one more person.

When his gaze fell on this person.

He froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

His eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth opened slightly.

His face was full of disbelief and incredulity.

After the initial shock, his expression instantly became incredibly excited. He quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply in respect.

"Senior Brother Jiang? It's you! Outer disciple Chen Yuan greets Senior Brother Jiang!"

Su Yang was taken aback.

Chen Yuan showed a level of respect he had never shown when facing Min Yue.

Just who is this Senior Brother Jiang, that he could make Chen Yuan lose his composure like this?

Su Yang was curious, but he dared not be negligent on the surface.

He and Zhou Dazhu and the others quickly followed suit and bowed.

Although I don't know this Senior Brother Jiang.

But everyone present could tell from Chen Yuan's reaction that this person must be someone of great importance.

Senior Brother Jiang remained calm, bowed slightly to the crowd, and nodded in response.

He didn't even speak to Chen Yuan, and his gaze didn't linger; he merely glanced at the alchemy furnace before looking at Min Yue beside him.

"Let's begin. You prepare one batch first and let me see."

He acted entirely like an elder to a younger person.

Min Yue, however, didn't care at all and instead nodded respectfully in agreement:

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Jiang."

Su Yang and the others stepped back and stood a little further away.

He had observed Min Yue's behavior.

The person who came was clearly someone Min Yue had specially invited.

He must be a highly skilled alchemist, or an alchemist who is proficient in Golden Marrow Pills.

Thinking about this...

Su Yang became even more serious.

The guidance from Deacon Sun last time was very helpful to him, and he will surely gain a lot this time as well.

Min Yue walked to the alchemy furnace, made a hand seal to ignite the fire, and began refining the Golden Marrow Pill.

She was even more careful this time than yesterday.

The timing of medication administration should be carefully considered.

He was both steady and meticulous when controlling the flame.

But these things obviously cannot make her a pill.

In the end, Min Yue only managed to collect a few useless pills.

She sighed, stepped aside, and looked at Senior Brother Jiang:

"Senior brother?"

Senior Brother Jiang had observed Min Yue's performance earlier, but without saying anything, he walked to the alchemy furnace:

"Watch closely, I'm going to forge a batch."

He raised his hand and made a hand seal to ignite the fire.

The fire in the furnace rose steadily in an instant.

He executed the Flame Holding Technique with the ease of breathing.

There was almost no fluctuation of spiritual energy.

There was not an ounce of unnecessary movement.

Su Yang was amazed.

This Senior Brother Jiang has managed to use the Flame Holding Technique to such an extent that its effect is almost comparable to his improved version of the Flame Holding Technique.

It's simply turning something rotten into something magical.

Is this what an experienced alchemist is like?

Su Yang felt that if he had Jiang Shixiong's technique, combined with the improved Flame Holding Technique, his success rate in elixirs could probably be increased by 10% or 20%.

After Brother Jiang opened the furnace, he picked up a golden thread grass.

Golden thread grass is the main ingredient in Golden Marrow Pill, and it is quite troublesome to process, and the timing of its administration is also very important.

Jiang Shixiong didn't rush to administer the medicine, but first looked at Min Yue:

"The timing of adding the golden thread grass to that batch you just prepared was wrong."

"The medicine must be added when the fire is at its most stable, and then the Qingling Flower should be added immediately. The two medicines complement each other, so that the fusion of the medicinal properties can proceed smoothly later."

As he spoke, he threw the golden thread grass into the alchemy furnace, followed by the pure spirit flower, his movements clean and efficient.

Min Yue paused for a moment, then looked enlightened:

"I see! No wonder I always felt stuck at the melting step; the root of the problem was in the very first step!"

Su Yang, who was listening nearby, was also moved.

He had been observing Min Yue's alchemy practice for so long.

They didn't notice anything wrong with Min Yue's rhythm of administering the medicine; on the contrary, they thought it was smooth and effortless.

But now, Senior Brother Jiang has seen through it all in a single sentence.

This shows how great the difference was in their alchemy skills.

At the same time, he also gained a lot and had a sense of enlightenment.

While controlling the fire, Senior Brother Jiang continued to give instructions:

"Also, when you're controlling the fire to melt the medicine, don't do it too quickly."

"The medicinal properties of golden thread herbs are quite strong. When dissolving them, the heat should be reduced appropriately and they should be ground slowly for the best effect."

As he spoke, he subtly adjusted his flame-holding technique, and the flames in the alchemy furnace steadily decreased in intensity.

Min Yue stood to the side, her expression focused, as if afraid of missing a single word.

I would occasionally express my thoughts, and Senior Brother Jiang would either agree or disagree.

He refined this batch of pills extremely quickly.

Even when instructing Min Yue, the process of adding medicine, controlling the fire, and melting the medicine was completed in one go, with almost no pauses.

When the alchemy furnace is opened.

Five pills flew out of the furnace and landed in his palm.

Four of them have a clear red pattern on their surface, with a rich and lustrous color, while only one is golden gray.

Four pills were successfully formed, and one pill was discarded.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Yuan's expression became excited again, and he couldn't help but speak:

"To be able to refine four low-grade Golden Marrow Pills so casually, no wonder he's Senior Brother Jiang Yanchen, the third of the ten inner disciples, truly lives up to his reputation!"
