Chapter 356: Did You Modify the Prescription?

"This guy, he's still as careless as he used to be."

However, as time ticked away second by second, the smile on his face gradually vanished, replaced by a look of gravity.

Finally, after seeing Yao Chen make yet another mistake he shouldn't have, He Kun simply couldn't hold back anymore.

"Old Yao, your state for alchemy today doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

"State isn't right?" Yao Chen turned around, looked at him with a puzzled expression, and said, "My state is perfectly fine."

"State is fine?" He Kun was full of suspicion, his expression as if to say, don't you try to fool me, "If your state were fine, could you have made so many mistakes earlier?"

"Mistakes?" Yao Chen was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, mistakes!" He Kun was so angry he was blowing his beard and staring, saying loudly, "From the time you started alchemy until now, I've noticed you've slipped up at least five times, and that's not even counting the places I didn't notice!

I admit I was wrong before; you said it might scare me, and I didn't believe you, but now I believe it—you really did shock me."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, wishing he could rush up and give Yao Chen a flick on the forehead.

"Mistakes? Oh, oh, you mean those parts?" Yao Chen realized, and said with a smile, "Those weren't mistakes. Forget it, even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand. Once the Pill is refined, you'll understand."

"Even if you explained it, I wouldn't understand?" He Kun was almost laughed to anger; he nodded repeatedly and said, "Fine, fine, fine, then I'll wait a little longer; I really want to see what kind of Pill you can refine."

"Rest assured, I definitely won't let you down." Yao Chen smiled mysteriously.

Ever since he received that Prescription for the Top-grade Blood Qi Pill yesterday, he had immediately thrown himself into the refining process.

Facts proved that this Prescription was simply miraculous.

He had only looked at it a few times, then followed the steps to operate, and in that furnace of Blood Qi Pills he refined, the number of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills actually accounted for half!

What kind of concept was this? They had spent so many years and invested countless amounts of energy, yet they hadn't been able to increase the yield of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills; as a result, not long after getting this Prescription, the yield of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills had almost doubled!

One has to say, sometimes fate is just that wondrous.

Of course, just this alone couldn't satisfy him; he had a drive pent up inside.

In terms of talent, he truly couldn't compare to that young man, but now that he had the correct Prescription, if he still couldn't catch up to him, how shameful would it be to say it out loud?

Therefore, he not only wanted to refine ten Top-grade Blood Qi Pills, but he also wanted to attempt to refine a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill!

From yesterday until now, he had studied tirelessly, and finally refined a furnace full of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills.

Feeling incredibly excited inside, the first person he thought of was He Kun, intending to show off properly in front of his old friend first, and then go tell Kong Ming this good news.

Soon, more than ten minutes passed, and a crisp sound came from the alchemy furnace.

Hearing this sound, He Kun's expression changed instantly.

This sound, it was a bit unusually crisp, wasn't it?

Just at this moment, Yao Chen turned around and said with a beaming smile, "Old friend, the Pill is refined; do you want to come over and take a look?"

He Kun had already been angered enough by him, and hearing this, he walked over ungraciously and said, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have come over to see what kind of thing you've actually refined."

"Is that so? Then you'd better prepare yourself mentally; don't get so scared later that you collapse to the ground and make me have to find someone to carry you."

"Rest assured, no matter how poorly you refine it, I can accept it."

Yao Chen chuckled, opened the alchemy furnace, and in an instant, a fragrance of the Pill, concentrated to the extreme, rushed toward them.

"Top-grade Blood Qi Pill!" He Kun couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately after, he muttered in a low voice, "No, that's not right, this Pill fragrance is so concentrated, could it be?"

His gaze was fixed tightly on the furnace of Pills in front of him.

One, two, three, four, five...

Counting to here, his eyeballs were almost popping out.

The most he had ever refined himself was four Top-grade Blood Qi Pills, and even after so many years, such instances were few and far between.

But this guy Yao Chen, how did he manage to refine five in one furnace of Pills?

No, that's not right, there seem to be more behind!

He simply couldn't believe his eyes and continued to look further back.

Seven, eight, nine—there were actually nine, a full nine Top-grade Blood Qi Pills!

And the remaining one was also a High Grade Blood Qi Pill, its quality second only to the Top Grade.

He was completely stunned, as if struck by an Immobilization Spell, standing motionless.

"Why only nine?" Yao Chen muttered in a low voice, his brows locked in a frown, wondering inside which link had gone wrong?

He had thought he could refine a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill this time to show off properly in front of He Kun.

These words, however, woke He Kun from his shock; he raised his head in astonishment, looked at Yao Chen, and said, "Only nine? Yao Chen, do you know what you're saying? These are nine Top-grade Blood Qi Pills! Not nine High Grade Blood Qi Pills!"

"I know," Yao Chen pretended to be very calm, and said in an indifferent tone, "I used to refine ten, but this time my performance was off, only nine, sigh."

Hearing this, an urge to strangle this guy who loved to show off surged in He Kun's heart. However, the facts were right before his eyes; he couldn't help but believe it.

Recalling how Yao Chen had said earlier that he would give him a surprise, and he hadn't believed it, even mocking him halfway through, He Kun immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.

Clearly, those so-called mistakes were not mistakes at all, but improvements!

If he could also learn them...

Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his senses, gave a start, and said, "No, Yao Chen, if others don't understand you, can I not understand you?

Honestly confess, where exactly did this new alchemy technique of yours come from?

Did Brother Zhang and the others teach you? That's not right; if Brother Zhang and the others knew this, they would have used it long ago; they wouldn't have waited until today."

"What do you mean where did it come from? Old He, don't you go making false accusations; this is a Prescription I improved after racking my brains for three days and three nights!" Yao Chen said loudly and excitedly.

"Really or fake?" He Kun looked suspicious.

"Of course it's real. Think about it, in our Base, who else can refine so many Top-grade Blood Qi Pills in one furnace? Besides me, can you think of anyone else?" Yao Chen said righteously.

"Now that you mention it, it seems that's true." He Kun gasped, "Could this Prescription really have been researched by you?"

"That's nonsense!" Yao Chen raised his volume and said loudly, "It definitely was researched by me! For this Prescription, I skipped several meals, and I've lost several pounds!"

"Is that so?" He Kun looked him up and down, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really not easy to tell."

Just as Yao Chen was about to retort, the door to the Alchemy Room was pushed open without warning.

He was instantly furious.

What is the meaning of this? Is this door of mine just for show? Don't you know that one must not be disturbed while refining pills?

It was like this last time, and it is still like this this time.

He looked up and was stunned.

The person who came was Kong Ming again, and the situation was exactly the same as last time.

"Yao Lao!" Kong Ming walked in with excited, long strides and said, "Is the young brother Lu who gave us the Top-grade Blood Qi Pill Prescription last time going to give us his improved prescription again this time? Yao Lao, what is wrong with your eyes? They look a bit strange; do you want me to take a look for you?"

"Oh, you! You are really going to be the death of me!" Yao Chen was so angry that he turned around, with his back to Kong Ming.

This Kong Ming really has no ability to read the room at all!

"The young brother Lu who gave us the Top-grade Blood Qi Pill Prescription? Going to give us his improved prescription again?"

He Kun finally understood what was going on, gave Yao Chen a meaningful look, and said:

"Old Yao, didn't you just say that this prescription was improved by you? Hmm? But why do I feel that things are not as you said? Don't you intend to explain it to me?"
