Chapter 67: The Touched Old Man Wei

Alchemy—this seemingly simple cauldron of flames contained endless mysteries and profundity.

This was not just about the pickiness and combination of medicinal herbs, but also about the meticulous control of heat, time, and Dou Qi.

Every tiny movement, every depth of breath, was directly related to the quality and success or failure of the final medicinal pill.

Therefore, he never dared to be the slightest bit slack, focusing intently and devoting his whole heart to every alchemy session.

As time passed, the medicinal liquid inside the cauldron gradually changed from turbid to clear and transparent, and a faint smile of relief appeared on his face.

However, at this very moment, the flames inside the medicine cauldron suddenly became incomparably fierce, as if they were about to swallow everything.

His eyes instantly became sharp as a hawk's, focusing intently on the heat, his hands dancing in the air like playing a zither, regulating the flow of Dou Qi.

He knew in his heart that the heat at this moment was crucial; the slightest mistake could lead to all previous efforts being wasted.

But just at the critical moment when the medicinal pill was about to take shape, a deafening roar suddenly came from inside the cauldron, as if thunder from heaven and earth had exploded.

The old man's expression changed; he quickly withdrew his Dou Qi, his hands slammed open the cauldron lid, and he retreated rapidly.

The old man saw this scene and stood frozen on the spot, an indescribable sense of loss surging in his heart.

The hatred was because, as an eighth-grade alchemist, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing often asked him to refine some low-grade pills, which made him very depressed.

Seeing Wei Jian being so straightforward, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing also rubbed his hands and laughed.

This Old Man Wei was named Wei Jian and was one of the two eighth-grade alchemists of the Jiang Family.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, who was in the distance, witnessed the whole process of the cauldron explosion. Seeing the old man in this state, he came forward to comfort him.

After adjusting his mindset, Wei Jian then spoke to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing: "Speak, what medicinal pill do you want me to refine this time by coming here?"

The loss just now was merely because the medicinal pill was almost formed, and it was a pity that it failed.

Immediately after, the cauldron body vibrated violently, as if it were about to shatter.

That power was so strong that it seemed as if it would overturn the entire platform.

Subsequently, a huge amount of energy instantly erupted from the cauldron, overturning everything around it to the ground, with black smoke and dust permeating the air.

Wei Jian had watched Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing grow up, and his temper was relatively compatible, which was why Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing came to him to refine this Heavenly Soul Blood-Melting Pill.

Just at this moment, a voice sounded.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, the medicine cauldron was seen still standing there.

Wei Jian raised his head, looking at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's young and firm face, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Old Man Wei, the path of alchemy is inherently full of variables; failure is a common occurrence, so you don't need to take it to heart."

As an eighth-grade alchemist, Wei Jian had failed at alchemy countless times and naturally could let it go.

The love was naturally because when his alchemy failed, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing could always give him comfort and encouragement like he was doing now.

Regarding Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, who often came to him for alchemy, Wei Jian was both loving and hating.

It was just that the medicinal pill that was about to take shape had already disappeared without a trace.

Wei Jian did not believe that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing would come to him for no reason.

"Hehe, Old Man Wei, I want to ask you to help me refine a medicinal pill."

As soon as Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing finished speaking, Wei Jian said directly: "No time!"

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing:?? I just comforted you, and you treat me like this?

However, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing knew that Wei Jian had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he was not annoyed.

He took the Heavenly Soul Blood-Melting Pill formula and the materials needed for refining directly from his storage ring and handed them to Wei Jian.

"This is a medicinal pill for nourishing the fetus in my wife's clan. I am not at ease handing it to others to refine, so I have to trouble Old Man Wei to help refine it."

Of course, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not forget to flatter Wei Jian.

Hearing Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's words, Wei Jian was indeed very pleased.

He stopped pretending and took the pill formula to look at it.

He had attended Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's wedding and knew that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's wife was pregnant.

During the wedding, he had also sent many pills for fetal protection.

Hearing Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing say it was to refine a pill for nourishing the fetus for his newlywed wife, Wei Jian took it and flipped through it.

Seeing the introduction of the medicinal pill as a "seventh-grade medicinal pill," Wei Jian nodded.

He was not afraid of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing asking him to refine seventh or eighth-grade pills; he was only afraid of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing making a mountain out of a molehill by asking him to refine fifth or sixth-grade, or even lower-grade pills.

After reading the formula for the Heavenly Soul Blood-Melting Pill, Wei Jian felt that this pill was not difficult to refine.

So he said to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing: "Hmm, I will have someone send it to you in two days."

Not wanting this kid Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing to come and bother him again, he decided to have someone send the pill over after refining it.

"Alright, thank you, Old Man Wei!"

Wei Jian waved his hand at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, signaling that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing could leave.

However, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not leave but handed another storage ring to Wei Jian.

Wei Jian had black lines on his face.

"Still need to refine other pills? Can't you just say it all at once, you kid!"

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing said mysteriously: "It's not refining pills; Old Man Wei, take a look at what's inside."

Hearing that it was not about refining pills, Wei Jian was suspicious.

Taking the storage ring, his soul power probed into it like a fine thread.

Inside the storage ring, Wei Jian was shocked by this scene.

He saw that inside the storage ring, countless pill formulas were densely arranged like ancient scrolls, exuding a mysterious aura. Wei Jian couldn't wait to flip through these pill formulas.

After spending some time scanning these pill formulas, a flash of ecstasy and shock crossed Wei Jian's eyes. He simply couldn't believe his eyes and could hardly control his heartbeat.

These pill formulas in the storage ring were naturally obtained by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing from Yao Chen, and he had always left them to gather dust.

Now it was just right to give them to Wei Jian, letting them shine and also making this old man happy.

Alchemists' pill formulas are not easily passed on; many of the pill formulas on Yao Chen were ones that even Wei Jian did not have.

Wei Jian took a deep breath and carefully withdrew his soul power. He looked up at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing standing in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

"These pill formulas..." Wei Jian's voice trembled slightly, as if he were afraid that if his voice were too loud, it would break this beautiful illusion.

It was no wonder Wei Jian was so excited to see these pill formulas.

For an alchemist, pill formulas are like treasure maps, the treasures they pursue throughout their lives.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing smiled and explained: "These pill formulas were accidentally collected during my travels over the past few years. Knowing that Old Man Wei would definitely like them, I brought them to you first; I haven't even shown them to Old Man Luo."

Old Man Luo was the other eighth-grade alchemist of the Jiang Family and a good friend of Wei Jian; the two could be said to have fought their whole lives.

Although he knew that these pill formulas would sooner or later be shown to Old Man Luo, hearing Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's words, Wei Jian still felt warm inside.

"You kid..."

At this moment, Wei Jian was so touched that he didn't know what to say.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing laughed and said: "Old Man Wei, study these pill formulas well; when the time comes, you can take them to show off to Old Man Luo."
