Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2181 - 2137: A Newfound Respect

Additionally, Chen Yang was genuinely interested in Alchemy.

Suddenly, a high-ranking elder of the academy was standing in front of him, practicing Alchemy. Naturally, Chen Yang couldn’t suppress his curiosity and wanted to learn something from the elder or understand some aspects.

"Because under your feet, there’s a Formation, which isolates most of the heat."

The elder’s answer was quite simple.

Just because of the Formation.

This made Chen Yang feel a bit awkward.

It really was the Formation.

His attention had been focused entirely on the Pill Furnace just now, and he hadn’t noticed the existence of the Formation on the ground.

"Haha, disciple was careless."

Chen Yang awkwardly cupped his hands, and then refrained from asking further questions, standing silently three meters away, attentively observing the elder’s operations and the wonders of Alchemy.

He observed for a long time.

Through his observation, he discovered.

This Alchemy was far more advanced than the medicine crafting he had been exposed to.

Alchemy requires not only a pill furnace made of fine materials.

But also special flames and superb Alchemical techniques.

Initially, Chen Yang thought that since he had been crafting medicines for so long, learning Alchemy shouldn’t be a big problem.

But now it seemed that his assumption was completely wrong.

Crafting medicine and practicing Alchemy are entirely different things.

With his foundation, getting started on Alchemy wouldn’t be very difficult.

But hoping for immediate achievements in the field of Alchemy is too unrealistic.

Observing the elder’s techniques and some small details of Alchemy reveals this.

"Elder, may I ask what kind of elixir you are refining? What grade of elixir is it?" After observing for a long while, Chen Yang’s curiosity reignited, and he instinctively spoke to inquire.

The elder was slightly taken aback, and his gaze towards Chen Yang became somewhat odd.

"You, a powerful cultivator, are actually interested in Alchemy?"

The elder had noticed earlier that Chen Yang had been watching him practice Alchemy.

He seemed particularly attentive to everything related to the elder’s Alchemy.

Such a serious look can’t be faked.

Only those genuinely interested in Alchemy would be like this.

So, he found it strange that someone like Chen Yang, who specializes in martial arts, would be so interested in Alchemy.

"Haha, no disrespect, elder. Before I embarked on the path of cultivation, I had the opportunity to learn healing skills and could also craft some crude elixirs. After entering the Mystic Realm,"

"I learned that there was a dedicated path of Alchemy, which I have always aspired to pursue, but never had the chance to experience. Today, I’m fortunate to witness the elder practicing Alchemy, hence my eagerness to ask. I hope the elder won’t mind."

Chen Yang finished speaking and immediately cupped his fists, displaying a very proper attitude.

With a humble demeanor, showing no arrogance at all.

Seeing Chen Yang’s attitude, the elder couldn’t help but nod, altering his perception of Chen Yang.

He had spent many years in the Pill Hall, rarely venturing out.

However, recently he had heard quite a bit about Chen Yang.

Offending Zhao Shuo, severely injuring Li Tian.

A few days ago, directly on the stage, he used Mad Bull Fist to kill Zou Tianming.

Initially, when he heard these rumors, he thought the person sent here was an arrogant and reckless martial artist.

But Chen Yang’s current behavior made him reconsider his opinion.

How could someone so humble and polite also be a brutal killer?

"I see." The elder nodded with a smile and then answered Chen Yang’s question: "The elixir I’m refining, its name is not convenient to disclose, but I can tell you it’s a rank seven elixir."

"Rank seven?"

Chen Yang was startled upon hearing this.

Because he had learned earlier.

In the Mystic Realm, elixirs are categorized from rank one to rank nine.

And the Alchemists capable of refining specific rank elixirs are the Alchemists of the respective grade.

This elder, being able to refine a rank seven elixir.

Doesn’t that mean he’s a rank seven Alchemist?

It’s well-known that in the Mystic Realm, Alchemists are rare and highly respected.

In an average small town, having an Alchemist of rank one or two is quite remarkable.

Yet, this elder is directly rank seven.

Absolutely a big shot.

With such skills, wouldn’t he be a guest of honor wherever he goes?

Chen Yang couldn’t believe that such an eminent person was standing right in front of him; he almost felt it wasn’t very real.

"Indeed, a rank seven elixir. To successfully refine this kind of elixir requires a lot of time. The path of Alchemy is in no way inferior to the path of cultivation." The elder seemed very pleased with Chen Yang’s expression of surprise.

He nodded with a smile, speaking to himself.

At this moment, Chen Yang, knowing that he was facing a rank seven Alchemist, was at a loss for words.

It’s like suddenly a strong Immortal Realm fighter is standing in front of you, smiling and chatting.

Yet, you know that in their eyes, you’re nothing but an ant...

Buzz...

Just then, amidst their conversation, sudden noises came from the Pill Furnace!

It seemed as if some transformation had occurred within the elixir inside the furnace.

The elder’s expression immediately turned serious! He couldn’t care less about Chen Yang now, using both hands to continuously emit Spiritual Energy to control the fire’s intensity.

Simultaneously, another stream of Spiritual Energy was maneuvering the elixir inside the furnace, temporarily shielding it from the fierce flames.

"It’s bad, in a moment’s carelessness, the fire’s temperature wasn’t controlled well. The Ice Crystal must be added early, or the elixir will be lost!"

The elder was visibly tense.

From his tone, Chen Yang could tell that there was a problem with the elixir refinement.

"Young man, help me fetch the Ice Crystal." The elder couldn’t spare his hands at the moment, focused on controlling the fire and the elixir, so he asked Chen Yang, who was nearby, to help.

"Where is the Ice Crystal?"

Chen Yang reacted swiftly as well.

Knowing that in matters of Alchemy, negligence and errors are absolutely unacceptable, as they could lead to the complete undoing of efforts.

Indeed, the higher the rank of the cultivator, the more afraid of failure.

After all, refining a high-grade elixir requires lots of celestial materials and precious resources.

And each failure results in the total destruction of these materials.

To attempt refinement again, materials must be gathered anew.

It’s very troublesome indeed.

"It’s on the table over there, the one with the frosted bottle." The elder said urgently.

"Okay."

Chen Yang nodded immediately, then followed the elder’s gaze and indeed saw a frost-covered bottle on a table within the hall.

Inside it was the Ice Crystal the elder needed.

"Elder, should I give it to you, or should I throw it in directly?"

Having obtained the Ice Crystal, Chen Yang quickly returned to the furnace and asked.

"Just throw it directly into the furnace."

The elder quickly said.

"Alright." Without any hesitation, Chen Yang threw the bottle in immediately.

Once in the furnace, the bottle didn’t last a second—it melted almost instantly, revealing the Ice Crystal inside.

A bundle of blue crystals, quite magical.

One glance showed it was definitely not an ordinary item.

"Fusion!"

Seeing the Ice Crystal, the elder immediately intensified the force in his hands, trying to merge the Ice Crystal into the Egg-shaped Pill floating amidst the flames.

The elixir had not yet fully formed, thus was still called an Egg-shaped Pill.

At this time, that Egg-shaped Pill was suffused with a light gray color among the flames.

Although Chen Yang hadn’t formally entered the path of Alchemy, he had crafted medicine for quite some time.

Thus, he still understood Alchemy to some degree.

Clearly knowing that an elixir exhibiting a light gray color was a sign of imminent failure!

It wouldn’t be long before the Egg-shaped Pill was directly burned into ashes by the flames.

All the previous materials, along with all efforts, would be wasted.
