Chapter 756: Shang Hongxue Tribulation?

Purely out of curiosity.

Actually, there was also the intention to avoid Chen Chuyang; this girl was afraid, her eyes dared not meet Chen Chuyang's.

It was quite obvious there was a problem; Chen Chuyang saw through it, but he didn't point it out.

If you want to learn pill refining, you can follow along; with your talent, you should quickly become a pill refiner.

"Oh oh okay." The little girl nodded vigorously, her eyes still not daring to meet Chen Chuyang's, for fear he would see her inner fear.

Chen Chuyang really wanted to laugh; this girl was truly too adorable, afraid yet unwilling to say it—clearly it was her own insistence, so it couldn't be blamed on Chen Chuyang.

The girl, like a clumsy chicken, slowly landed on the ground, tidied up a bit, beckoned to Xiao Qian'er with her hand; Xiao Qian'er walked over slowly and took out the pill.

Shang Hongxue took it directly and handed it to Chen Chuyang to look at: "Chuyang brother, take a look at the Hundred Herbs Pill refined by Xiao Qian'er—the effect is strong; has it met your requirement?"

Ten portions of spiritual herbs were all used up; the last portion, Xiao Qian'er surpassed herself and refined a top-quality Hundred Herbs Pill, which also shows her talent is truly strong, far exceeding her cultivation talent.

Chen Chuyang merely glanced and could see the quality of these pills; he nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, better than I expected, Xiao Qian'er—your Hundred Herbs Pill is ready to graduate."

Xiao Qian'er gave a foolish smile, rubbing her head; that smile filled her whole face.

Master, disciple is far inferior to you.

You need not be modest; for your age, I was not as good as you—your pill-refining talent surpasses what I imagined.

Chen Chuyang did not stint on praise; the girl needs encouragement, needs admiration, and naturally cannot be discouraged.

Although the Hundred Herbs Pill is not difficult to refine and does not require pill fire or an alchemy furnace, it is not something just anyone can make.

At least Shang Hongxue, this little girl, tried many times but failed to produce a single pill.

Lack of talent is lack of talent; pill-refining talent is rare, and this girl is a natural prodigy in pill refining, so she must be nurtured well.

"Xiao Qian'er, next, I will teach you the true method of pill refining."

"Among first-grade pills, the Hundred Herbs Pill is the simplest and most suitable for beginners."

"Besides condensing the herbal liquid, you can also refine pills using an alchemy furnace."

"Watch closely."

Chen Chuyang acted directly; fortunately, a giant fire alchemy furnace stood before him—this was the alchemy furnace he gave Xiao Qian'er, remade, with outstanding effect.

Familiar with this alchemy furnace, Chen Chuyang loaded the spiritual herbs; the timing of each herb's insertion, the melting duration, the insertion sequence, etc., must not err.

"You must remember the order of inserting the spiritual herbs; these must not be wrong—if wrong, failure will result."

"Afterward, you must control the fire; the 'Spiritual Herbs Hundred Grass Classic' contains a fire method you need to study thoroughly, train diligently, and refine to a minute level, after which you can freely command flames."

"For example, like this."

Chen Chuyang demonstrated the fire method to her; earth fire in his hand resembled a sprite.

At times it condensed into petals, blossoming flower after blossom, then the petals fell, landing and returning to the fire.

At times it condensed into a giant dragon, phoenix, etc., various demonic beasts galloping.

That scene was truly magnificent.

Shang Hongxue and Xiao Qian'er stared dumbfounded, fixedly gazing at those earth flames; at this moment the earth flames were very beautiful.

No longer mere flames, but… beautiful sprites.

The alchemy furnace ignited, flames blazed.

Controlling the flames to burn, soon a furnace of pills emerged.

A brand-new pill, likewise a Hundred Herbs Pill, with better effect and higher quality.

The refining time increased manifold; the gap between skilled and unskilled lies right here.

Chen Chuyang could refrain from looking or intervening; muscle memory would handle the pill refining.

"Do you understand?"

Xiao Qian'er nodded, then shook her head.

Understood, yet somehow not understood.

Chen Chuyang again produced a portion of spiritual herbs to show her the refining of other pills.

"Another formula for Hundred Herbs Pill is the White Flower Pill; you should have seen it, right?"

Xiao Qian'er nodded: "I have seen it, Master."

"Today I will refine a furnace of White Flower Pill for you; afterward, you must research and ponder on your own."

"Yes, Master."

The second furnace of pills was refined; the difficulty of refining White Flower Pill far exceeds that of Hundred Herbs Pill, requiring much more attention.

Chen Chuyang explained point by point: which aspects need attention, which are prone to problems.

No detail too small; Chen Chuyang clarified every single detail.

These are not in the books; they are all insights Chen Chuyang gained, also problems he previously encountered; Xiao Qian'er will face these problems later, so I tell her in advance, so when she encounters them she will know what to do.

Xiao Qian'er listened and watched attentively, wishing to memorize everything.

Soon.

The second furnace of pills appeared; the White Flower Pill refining was complete.

It was fast and perfect.

Handing the pill to Xiao Qian'er, Chen Chuyang instructed: "When you can refine White Flower Pill of this quality, you will be a true first-grade pill refiner; first-grade pills will not stump you."

"Disciple will certainly strive, Master."

Xiao Qian'er clenched her fists, speaking earnestly.

In her heart, a conviction arose, along with heroic spirit.

Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction; this disciple is perfect in every way, she will surely succeed.

This explanation ends here; Chen Chuyang prepares to leave.

"Boom—."

A thunderclap shook Longshe Shan.

In the Pill Refining Hall, Shang Hongxue and Xiao Qian'er trembled, both simultaneously raising their heads to look at the sky.

Shang Hongxue's face changed, and she said: "Chuyang elder brother, it's a heavenly tribulation; who is undergoing tribulation?"

Who on Longshe Shan is undergoing tribulation?

Chen Chuyang immediately looked toward where Shang Hongchen was; indeed, she was the one undergoing tribulation.

This woman is about to form her golden core; this is too... impulsive.

Inside the room, Shang Hongchen spat out a mouthful of blood, forcibly forming her golden core.

"This woman is really pushing herself too hard."

Chen Chuyang frowned, lowered his head, and told Shang Hongxue the news; Shang Hongxue grabbed Chen Chuyang's hand, anxiously saying: "Chuyang elder brother, you must definitely help elder sister; she cannot die."

"She... is my only sister."

Chen Chuyang comforted Shang Hongxue: "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

The two instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared at the door of Shang Hongchen's room; Tianlian Zhenren arrived a step ahead of them.

Seeing the two arrive, Tianlian Zhenren immediately said: "Hongchen is forcibly forming her golden core; the heavenly tribulation has already come, and it's likely she..."

She noticed Shang Hongchen's condition, not daring to rush in; those formations, once triggered, would be very dangerous.

Within Longshe Shan, only Chen Chuyang can open these formations.

Chen Chuyang raised his hand, unlocked the room's formation, and the three entered the room together, seeing Shang Hongchen spitting blood.

She has already begun forming her golden core and cannot stop.

"No time left; she is about to undergo tribulation."

Chen Chuyang had no time for that, stuffed a Dragon Blood Pill into Shang Hongchen, then led her and Shang Hongxue away from Longshe Shan, leaving Tianlian Zhenren alone standing dazed on the spot.
