Chapter 179 Out-of-Town Alchemists

Driven by the dual-attribute power within Xu Ning's body, the raw materials for the Tongyi Pill within the alchemy furnace began to melt, separating the medicinal liquid from the residue.

Then, Xu Ning closed his eyes and began to calmly brew the elixir.

"The crafting of the Tongyi Pill is indeed quite difficult..."

During the alchemy process, Xu Ning also discovered that he consumed a great deal of energy when he was boiling the Tongyi Pill to form its final form.

If one is not careful, there is a possibility of failure in making the elixir.

Xu Ning circulated the Life-Giving Elixir Scripture while maintaining a stable state of mind.

Half an hour later, Xu Ning suddenly opened his eyes.

Bang!

The next moment, a grape-sized, emerald-green pill popped out from the inner wall of the alchemy furnace.

Xu Ning caught him.

"This is the Tongyi Dan Yao..."

This was the first time Xu Ning had successfully refined the Tongyi Pill, and he took a closer look at it.

The emerald green Tongyi Dan had a smooth surface and was still warm to the touch, having just come out of the oven.

A fragrant aroma emanated from the Tongyi Pill. If a mortal martial artist smelled this aroma day and night, they could advance to the high level of the mortal realm without even practicing on their own.

Then, Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle and put the Tongyi Pill inside.

These porcelain bottles are specially made to ensure that the medicinal properties are not lost when the elixirs are placed inside.

After successfully refining one Tongyi Pill, Xu Ning did not stop, but continued to refine the remaining two.

However, when refining the second Tongyi Pill, Xu Ning made a mistake and failed to refine it successfully.

Fortunately, Xu Ning maintained his focus throughout the refining of the third Tongyi Pill, and successfully refined it in one go.

Two Tongyi Pills were refined from three raw materials, with a success rate of nearly 70%. If other alchemists knew this, they would surely feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

Xu Ning took a deep breath and slowly recovered from his exhaustion.

Before long, Xu Ning felt refreshed and full of energy again.

Xu Ning stood up, put away the alchemy furnace, and went out.

At this time, only a little over an hour had passed since Xu Ning began refining the Tongyi Pill.

"Young friend Xu Ning has come out."

Upon seeing Xu Ning walk out of the room, Zhou Weichen and Wei Xingfeng quickly got up from their seats.

The two waited in the courtyard after Xu Ning entered the house.

"I have successfully completed the task and the Tongyi Pill has been successfully refined."

Xu Ning handed the two porcelain bottles to Zhou Weichen.

"So fast?"

Zhou Weichen took the two porcelain bottles and asked, "Are these two Mind-Opening Pills?"

"good."

Xu Ning responded, "Of the three raw materials, I failed to refine one and wasted it. The other two have been refined into pills and are placed in these two porcelain bottles."

Zhou Weichen and Wei Xingfeng exchanged a glance, both inhaling sharply.

Within an hour, two Tongyi Pills were refined, with a success rate of nearly 70%.

Although I already knew that Xu Ning's alchemy skills were extremely high, the reality was still quite impactful.

Zhou Weichen quickly opened one of the porcelain bottles and poured a Tongyi Pill into his palm.

"This quality!"

Although Zhou Weichen was not a pill master, he could sense the extraordinary nature of this Tongyi Pill just by feeling it.

"Thank you very much, young friend Xu Ning!"

Zhou Weichen put away the Tongyi Pill, and then solemnly thanked Xu Ning.

He knew very well that his son would have a very high chance of advancing to the Tongyin Realm after obtaining a Tongyi Pill of this quality.

"However, according to the rules, I can only take one of these two Mind-Opening Pills."

Zhou Weichen then returned one of the Tongyi Pills to Xu Ning.

Seeing this, Xu Ning didn't stand on ceremony and put away a Tongyi Pill.

Generally speaking, when a master alchemist accepts a commission, as long as he/she fulfills the client's requirements, he/she can keep the remaining materials and the pills he/she has refined.

"Young friend Xu Ning, you've done me a great favor."

Zhou Weichen said, "Both morally and logically, I have to pay you compensation."

"Senior Zhou..."

Xu Ning waved his hand: "I have a close relationship with the Wei family, and you are also friends with the Wei family head. It would be inappropriate for me to accept payment. Besides, I have already obtained a Tongyi Pill."

"this……"

Zhou Weichen was at a loss for words.

"Brother Zhou, since Xu Ning has said so, don't force it."

Wei Xingfeng was all smiles. Xu Ning's words had actually boosted his reputation: "Just remember this favor and repay it when you have the chance."

Wei Xingfeng's statement was actually beneficial to Xu Ning.

He knew very well that Xu Ning possessed extremely rich resources, and giving him ordinary resources would be meaningless.

It would be better to let Zhou Weichen owe Xu Ning a favor; that would actually carry more weight.

"I should owe you a favor. In addition, I will give you two hundred sets of Pure Origin Pill materials as a gift, which I will send someone to deliver another day."

When Zhou Weichen was talking with Wei Xingfeng earlier, he learned that Xu Ning had a strong preference for Pure Origin Pills: "If you need anything in Cloud Eagle City in the future, please just ask, young friend Xu Ning."

"Then thank you in advance, Senior Zhou."

Seeing Zhou Weichen's resolute attitude, Xu Ning stopped refusing.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Ning and Wei Xingfeng saw Zhou Weichen to the door.

……

at the same time.

Inside a medicine shop under the Wei family's trading company, a group of several people walked in.

Among them, the person walking in front was wearing a long robe, holding a bone fan, and had light blue patterns painted at the corners of his eyes. His overall appearance did not seem to be that of a person from Feiyun Prefecture.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, exuding an inexplicable air of authority, clearly a high-ranking figure in a powerful organization.

Behind the two were guards dressed in gray, each of them exuding an imposing aura.

"Gentlemen, what kind of pills would you like to receive?"

After those people walked in, the shopkeeper of the medicine shop immediately noticed their extraordinary nature and personally entertained them.

Although the leader was dressed in a distinctive manner, the shopkeeper didn't mind. Yunying City was a major city in the core of Feiyun Prefecture, and countless people from other prefectures came here.

"Do you have any excellent medicinal pills here? Let me take a look."

The man in the long robe didn't explain his needs, but just casually said...

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "We have indeed recently received a batch of pills of excellent quality. Let me take you to see them."

Upon hearing this, the man in the long robe grunted in acknowledgment and followed the shopkeeper upstairs to the second floor.

As he passed through the first floor, the man in the long robe glanced at the pills displayed on the counter, revealing a hint of disdain.

Those expensive pills seemed to be like defective products in his eyes.

The shopkeeper also noticed this, but didn't care.

He knew very well that once the guest saw the elixirs displayed on the second floor, his attitude would naturally change.

"Guest, take a look at these pills."

The shopkeeper led the man in the long robe and the others to a table where several sample boxes were displayed.

"If you need it, once you've chosen it, I'll go to the back office and get it for you."

The shopkeeper smiled and stood to one side.

The man in the long robe glanced casually at the pills on the table.

"Um?"

Suddenly, his fingers tightened around the bone fan, and his expression was one of surprise.

"This elixir..."

The man in the long robe noticed that although the pills displayed on the table were not rare, they were of excellent quality.

Those who can refine this kind of pill are all highly skilled alchemists.

He quickly took a pill off his hand and examined it closely.

"What amazing refining techniques!"

The man in the long robe exclaimed in surprise, a strange look appearing on his face.

The shopkeeper, seeing this, was not surprised at all, and just watched with a smile.

Since these high-quality pills started appearing in the store recently, countless buyers have shown this expression.

"I'll buy all the pills left."

The man in the long robe spoke directly.

The man in the tight-fitting clothes behind him was about to pay the bill when he was interrupted by the shopkeeper.

"I'm sorry, sir, you can only purchase a maximum of three of each type of pill."

The shopkeeper responded skillfully.

If it weren't for the purchase restrictions, this batch of high-quality pills in the store would have been sold out long ago.

"interesting."

The man in the long robe smiled and waved his bone fan in his hand: "Shopkeeper, could you introduce me to the alchemist who refined these pills?"

"Sir, these pills were distributed by our host family. I don't know which alchemist refined them."

The shopkeeper responded politely.

The man in the long robe glanced at the shopkeeper, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he asked again, "Who is your master?"

"The Wei family of Yunying City."

As the shopkeeper spoke, he unconsciously straightened his back.

"The Wei family of Cloud Eagle City..."

The man in the long robe seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Buy as many of these pills as you can, no matter what kind they are. Wrap them all up."

"Okay."

The shopkeeper personally went to the warehouse to retrieve the elixirs.

"Vice Sect Leader Huang, the trip to Jifeng Prefecture will have to be postponed."

The man in the long robe said to the man in the tight-fitting clothes, "I need to study the refining methods of these pills in this city first."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, the man in the tight-fitting clothes was clearly in a dilemma: "Master Alchemist, the sect has already made preparations... It seems a bit inappropriate for us to delay our journey like this..."

"Why don't we purchase this elixir and then head to Jifeng Prefecture? You can study it there afterward..."

Vice Sect Master Huang tried to discuss it with Master Xiang.

Upon hearing this, the alchemist's face turned cold: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. Refining that demon pill is extremely taxing. If it weren't for the generous reward you promised, I wouldn't have traveled all the way to Jifeng Prefecture."

"Don't forget, Vice Sect Master Huang, you all promised me that you would obey my every word."

He flung the bone fan in the alchemist's hand, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Alright then..."

Vice Sect Master Huang finally compromised: "Then we will stay in Yunying City for a while, and set off when you are ready to go."

"besides……"

Xiang Danshi added, "During this time, you are responsible for finding out who the alchemist who refined this pill is. I need to confirm his identity."

"Understood, Master Tan."

Vice Sect Master Huang clearly felt that this instruction from the alchemist would be difficult to complete, but he still agreed in the end.

"It's all for the Demon Core..."

Vice Sect Master Huang, filled with dissatisfaction, thought, "Once the Demon Pill is refined... hah..."

A murderous intent was suppressed by Vice Sect Master Huang.
