Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 143, Successful Alchemy

Although Tang Zhen was not an alchemist, as a Dou Zun powerhouse who was skilled in using the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, refining medicinal herbs was not difficult for him.

Because there are no barriers to entry for refining medicinal herbs. For example, Little Fairy Doctor can refine medicinal herbs even if she is not an alchemist, but her skills are not as good as those of a real alchemist.

Moreover, people who are not alchemists generally do not study the extraction of medicinal materials. After all, no matter how skilled one is in extracting medicinal materials, it is useless if one cannot refine them into pills.

As for why Tang Zhen's refining techniques were so skillful, no one knew, and Ning Su didn't ask any further questions.

Refining Fire Bodhi Pill requires many high-grade medicinal materials, and the step of refining the medicinal materials alone takes a lot of time.

However, Tang Zhen's technique was indeed quite good. He was very skilled in using the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, refining all the medicinal herbs into their essence one by one, and then categorizing and storing them properly.

After refining the last medicinal herb, Tang Zhen absorbed the Nine Dragons Thunderfire into his body and took a deep breath to adjust his breathing.

Extracting medicinal herbs is also very energy-consuming, and Tang Zhen, after all, is not a real alchemist, so he will find it somewhat difficult.

"Mr. Ning, I'm counting on you from now on."

"Um."

Nodding, Ning walked to the center of the square and took over the follow-up work.

Tang Zhen also brought out their Burning Flame Valley's medicine cauldron—the Mountain Melting Cauldron—so that Ning Su could take the opportunity to experience the benefits of using a high-level medicine cauldron.

After confirming the prescription again, he officially began to prepare the medicine.

Since absorbing the soul of Elder Mu Gu, his soul power has also reached the Spirit Realm, enough to refine eighth-grade pills.

Of course, the improvement that a spiritual soul can provide to alchemy is actually limited; it can only ensure quality and cannot increase speed too much.

Ning Su's alchemy speed is faster than any other alchemist—he can easily complete a seventh-grade pill in two or three hours.

Under normal circumstances, even a seventh-grade alchemist would need two or three days to refine a seventh-grade pill.

Ning Su's ability to achieve this speed is due to his own [Infinite Devouring].

This could be considered an unexpected gain, as he discovered that he could use the [Infinite Devouring] ability to accelerate the fusion of various medicinal herbs, resulting in a dramatic increase in speed.

He then began formally refining the medicine.

One by one, the medicinal powders were added into the cauldron, and the Azure Chaos Flame rose up, beginning to melt the powders together.

Ning Su also incorporated a portion of the power of [Infinite Devouring] into it, accelerating the refining process.

Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er watched nervously.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Ning Su's alchemy skills, but rather that this pill was related to Tang Huo'er's life, so they had to be on edge.

But at this time, you must not make any noise to disturb Ning Su; you must wait quietly.

……

Although producing high-grade seventh-rank pills is difficult, Ning Su is already quite adept at it.

Two and a half hours later, a rich medicinal aroma wafted from the cauldron, and the rudimentary form of the elixir was complete!

"So fast..."

Tang Huo'er couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Although she wasn't an alchemist, she knew how long it would take an alchemist to refine a seventh-grade pill.

Even an eighth-grade alchemist would need at least a day to complete the task, right?

So Ning Su has already started forming a pill after only two and a half hours?!

Could this be a counterfeit elixir?

However, this is of course impossible.

Boom!

A sudden clap of thunder echoed in the sky, and dense, dark lightning rolled across the clouds.

"Dan Lei has emerged; it should be forming a pill soon." Tang Zhen immediately looked up.

The ability to draw out the Dan Lei indicates that the elixir is about to be formed.

As long as we can withstand the thunder, the Fire Bodhi Pill will be successfully made!

"Mr. Ning, please rest assured, I will personally help you block this pill lightning." Tang Zhen immediately flew into the sky, his body surging with Nine Dragons Thunderfire, which collided with the pill lightning.

boom!

With Tang Zhen's cultivation level, blocking a seventh-grade pill's bolt of lightning shouldn't be difficult.

Ning Su then took the final step, grabbing the Fire Bodhi Pill with precision.

"Fire Elixir, complete!"

The pill burst open the lid of the medicine cauldron and tried to fly away.

Ning Su reacted swiftly, grabbing the pill in an instant.

Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er nervously and excitedly surrounded them.

"Valley Master Tang, the Fire Bodhi Pill is complete." Ning Su opened her palm, revealing a fiery red pill emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

This is Huobudan!

Tang Zhen suppressed his excitement, accepted the pill, and bowed deeply to Ning Su.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ning!"

Tang Huo'er quickly bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Ning Su!"

The latest novel is first published here!

For Ning Su, refining a pill was not a troublesome matter.

But for Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er, this Fire Bodhi Pill was a life-saving elixir!

"No need to be so polite. The pill is ready, and the rest is up to Valley Master Tang."

"I wonder if there's any news about the people I asked Valley Master Tang to help me find?" Ning Su was still most concerned about the whereabouts of Medusa and Qing Lin.

"Based on the information provided by Mr. Ning, we searched outwards from the border between the Central Region and the Northern Region of Central China, but because the area involved is quite wide, we are afraid we will not have any news so soon."

"Mr. Ning can continue to stay in our Burning Flame Valley for now. We are doing our best to search for him and will notify him as soon as we have any news," Tang Zhen said.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Valley Master Tang."

……

After refining the Fire Bodhi Pill, Tang Zhen couldn't wait to treat Tang Huo'er.

Ning Su and Little Fairy Doctor went back to their room together.

"Ning Su, should we just stay here and wait for Burning Flame Valley to help us find someone?" Little Fairy Doctor asked.

She felt very idle these past two days and found it very difficult to adjust.

"We'll see. If we don't hear anything in a few days, we'll leave and let Burning Flame Valley continue the search for us," Ning said.

If he can't find anyone in Burning Flame Valley, he certainly can't stay here indefinitely.

If all else fails... we might have to ask the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void for help.

Last time, Zhu Li gave him a jade slip, which he could use to notify them if he needed help.

Although this matter is neither a big nor a small one, if there is really no other way, we can only use all the connections we have.

"It's a pity this isn't the Izumo Empire, and our Poison Sect has no one in the Central Plains either," said Little Fairy Doctor.

She felt a little guilty that she couldn't really help Ning Su by staying by her side.

Ning Su noticed her mood, took her hand, and comforted her.

"Zhongzhou is so vast, even if your Poison Sect has people here, they might not be able to make a difference. You don't need to blame yourself."

"I just feel like there's nothing I can do to help you..."

"Don't talk to me about that, I'm at a loss too. Okay, don't think about it."

Ning Su never felt that Little Fairy Doctor was of no help even though she was by her side.

For anyone else, this situation wouldn't be of much help.
