Chapter 769: What a Waste of Heavenly Treasures! [3500 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter]

In the vast open space, there were hundreds of alchemical furnaces.

Many alchemists had already begun refining pills; although no one expected such an interruption from Xu Que, some people had remained focused on controlling their pill furnaces from start to finish!

On the contrary, Yun Yang Zi and Zhuo Feng, the most conspicuous figures in the entire arena, along with Danmo Lao Ren, these three giants of the Alchemist World, were now too lazy to even light their furnace fires; they simply stood in place, their gazes fixed tightly on Xu Que.

They were all very clear about the cause of Little Buddha Girl's illness: having grown up eating Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, her entire flesh body had undergone changes; the only solution was to continue feeding her Immortal Medicine of a higher grade.

However, this method ultimately could not solve the problem; first, Immortal Medicine was hard to come by even after a thousand years, and second, even if found, after a period of time once Little Buddha Girl's flesh body became accustomed to medicine of this level, the current problem would still arise.

Therefore, facing this situation, even though the three of them were extremely skilled in alchemy, they felt helpless and at a loss.

Now that Xu Que had jumped out, claiming with full confidence that he could solve it, the three of them simply took the opportunity to step down from Tai Jie, needing no longer to refine pills, and just stood there waiting for Xu Que to make a fool of himself.

In their view, even if the candy Xu Que had given Little Buddha Girl earlier had some effect, it was useless; Little Buddha Girl was, after all, possessed of a Mortal Body and could not rely on candy for every meal to fill her stomach, so now they merely waited for Xu Que to create a joke of himself before being driven out of here by Great Buddha Master!

By that time, naturally, the three of them would not let Xu Que off either.

"Young Friend, may I ask what pill you intend to refine?" At this moment, seeing Xu Que stand before the pill furnace with a look of supreme confidence, Great Buddha Master could not help but ask curiously.

The corners of Xu Que's mouth lifted: "What I intend to refine is my Explosive Heaven Gang's secret divine medicine, tailor-made for patients suffering from Anorexia!"

Having spoken, he waved his large hand, suddenly producing an iron basin, followed by a series of crisp "clatter-clatter-clatter" sounds as he sprinkled a huge pile of yellow granular objects into the basin!

"What is that yellow stuff?" the crowd of onlookers could not help but ask curiously.

"Is it a pill?"

"Damn, could he be thinking of processing pills? What kind of alchemy is this?"

Many people frowned, including numerous alchemists present, all focusing their attention on Xu Que.

"Splash!"

At this moment, Xu Que suddenly produced a jade bottle, poured out crystal-clear water from within, and drenched those yellow granular objects with it.

Danmo Lao Ren immediately let out a cold smile and mocked: "So many unknown pills, all sprinkled together and mixed with water; one glance tells me this is the work of someone who knows nothing about pills—what a waste of heavenly treasures!"

"Alas, this youth is simply an outsider!" Yun Yang Zi also shook his head.

Great Buddha Master Zeng was also completely bewildered, even beginning to doubt whether Xu Que knew how to refine pills at all, since his actions were truly incomprehensible!

"Eh, wait, that doesn't seem to be pills!" At this moment, the onlookers standing behind Xu Que, closest to him, suddenly cried out in shock.

"That seems to be just soybeans, not pills!"

"Holy crap, it really is soybeans; what is this lad trying to do?"

Many people had now realized that the yellow granular objects Xu Que had poured into the water were simply soybeans!

Instantly, the faces of Danmo Lao Ren, Yun Yang Zi, and the others stiffened; they were rendered speechless, wishing they could find a crack to crawl into.

Just moments ago they had mocked Xu Que for melting so many pills into water, never expecting such a swift slap in the face; that stuff wasn't pills at all, but soybeans!

"Hmph, you are all wrong; open your eyes and look clearly—this is not ordinary soybeans, but natural soybeans harvested by my Explosive Heaven Gang at the very peak of Heavenly Mountain; each one is plump and crystal-clear, like a gemstone, therefore it also has a name: 'Explosive Heaven Gang Invincible Heavenly Mountain's Super Yellow Gemstone's Ultimate Soybean'!" Xu Que said with a face full of pride.

But in fact, these soybeans were precious ingredients exchanged from the System Mall, indeed incomparable to ordinary soybeans!

"By the way, as for this water, do you know what water it is? Come, take a sniff; eh, this friend's eyes are opened so wide, surely you've guessed it, right? Correct, this is Life Spirit Holy Water!" Xu Que picked up the jade bottle and began showing off to the bystanders again.

Many people present were moved by this.

"Life Spirit Holy Water?"

"Holy shit, he's actually taking out something this precious to refine pills; it seems he's truly betting big!"

"Incredible! Adding Life Spirit Holy Water to this pill will raise its grade by at least two or three levels!"

Many people were utterly shocked; even Danmo Lao Ren, Yun Yang Zi, and the others widened their eyes, unable to resist swallowing their saliva.

For alchemists, Life Spirit Holy Water was a coveted treasure; just a few tiny drops could increase the pill formation rate and even elevate the pill's grade.

But now this lad had poured out an entire basin of it, which was truly enough to make anyone envious and green-eyed!

"Alright, everyone, I am about to begin!" Only then did Xu Que's expression turn serious, his gaze focusing intently on the basin.

Immediately after, he rolled up his sleeves, plunged his hand directly into the basin, and began stirring the soybeans and water together.

The entire crowd was once again stunned; what the hell kind of operation was this? Did refining pills require personally stirring things with one's hands?

"Done!"

Suddenly, Xu Que shouted in a deep voice, violently lifted the basin, and threw it with force!

Splash!

In an instant, the Life Spirit Holy Water along with that pile of soybeans flew up into the air simultaneously.

Xu Que held the basin in one hand while rapidly forming hand seals with the other.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the blink of an eye, his hands transformed into thousands upon tens of thousands of illusory shadows, swiftly plucking the soybeans one by one from mid-air and tossing them into the iron basin.

Slap!

Immediately after, before the crowd could even react, the remaining Life Spirit Holy Water in the air splashed directly onto the ground.

"Holy shit, don't..."

Someone immediately cried out in shock.

However, it was too late; all the water had splashed onto the ground, contaminated by dust, and was now ruined.

The hearts of everyone in the entire arena instantly plummeted to the bottom of the valley along with this Life Spirit Holy Water.

So much Life Spirit Holy Water, just spilled like that!

It was simply a waste of heavenly treasures!

What exactly was this lad doing, how could such a mistake occur?

"Haha, truly worthy of being called Life Spirit Holy Water; look, everyone, see how clean I've washed my soybeans!" At this moment, Xu Que held up the iron basin and showed off his soybeans to the crowd.

Upon hearing this, the crowd instantly froze.

Immediately after, everyone's bodies jerked violently, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Your Mother's Paralysis!

Damn!

So after all this commotion, you bastard was just washing soybeans?

Holy crap!

And you used Life Spirit Holy Water to wash soybeans!

"Bang!"

At this moment, a muffled sound rang out as Danmo Lao Ren smashed the Pill Furnace beside him with one fist, venting his rage.

Yun Yang Zi's eyes were even more bloodshot, his fury now uncontrollable.

Seeing Xu Que waste Life Spirit Holy Water like this was simply more painful than killing them!

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for Acting Cool Successfully, reward eight thousand Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for Acting Cool Successfully, reward nine thousand Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for pulling off a 'luxurious act of cool,' special reward thirty thousand Acting Cool Points!"

System notification sounds rang out consecutively in Xu Que's mind.

He smiled with solemnity; a luxurious act of cool?

What's so luxurious about that? It's just Life Spirit Holy Water; I have plenty of it!

He shook his head, then casually exchanged for a grinding mill from the System Mall, poured the soybeans in with a clatter, followed by a small amount of Life Spirit Holy Water, and then circulated his True Essence to activate the grinding mill!

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Instantly, the grinding mill spun rapidly, crushing all the soybeans and mixing them into the Life Spirit Holy Water!

Everyone in the arena stared wide-eyed, both curious and dumbfounded, completely unable to understand these operations!

But moments later, Xu Que stopped the grinding mill and poured out a pile of pale yellow, viscous substance!

Then, after some filtering, a basin of fresh soy milk, shimmering with strands of crystalline Spiritual Light, appeared before everyone!

Everyone instantly froze.

"Th... this is soy milk?"

"What's going on?"

"Aren't we supposed to be doing Alchemy? What's the point of producing a whole basin of soy milk?"

Many people wore looks of total confusion.

Even Zeng Dafoye could no longer sit still and hurriedly asked, "Young Friend, what exactly are you doing?"

Xu Que smiled slightly, "Great Buddha Master, don't rush; this is only just the beginning!"

【Fourth Update. Alright, I'm going back to write today's First Update and Second Update, and if I can hold out, I'll write the Third Update too! You guys stop urging me; I'm only half a day late. Although it's my fault, if I could go faster I would; it's just that persisting continuously for so many days is truly exhausting. But didn't I make it all up in the end?】
