Chapter 770

Only just the beginning?

Upon hearing this, the crowd was completely confused!

The Black Robed Elder, Yun Yang Zi, and the others were even more completely unable to understand.

They had been immersed in alchemy for so many years and had never seen such an alchemy technique, let alone heard of any pill that required soybeans or soy milk. Moreover, Xu Que hadn't even touched the alchemy furnace yet; what kind of alchemy was this!

"Bang!"

Just as they thought of this, Xu Que suddenly slapped the alchemy furnace with his palm, and the entire furnace emitted a loud sound!

Everyone looked over and saw a wisp of cyan flame surging from his palm, suddenly darting into the bottom of the furnace, driving the furnace fire.

"It's finally starting!"

"Let's see what kind of pill he's going to refine!"

Everyone started looking forward to it.

However, after Xu Que lit the furnace fire, he simply turned his head and ignored it.

He picked up the heated soy milk, put the basin into cold water, and then a flame darted from his palm again to heat the cold water at the very bottom.

Before long, a layer of bean curd skin slowly solidified on the soy milk in the upper layer.

Xu Que was quick-witted and fast-handed; he immediately scooped up the bean curd skin and threw it into the air!

The entire piece of bean curd skin formed a parabola, flew to the highest point, absorbed the spiritual energy, and then fell down, naturally curling into a strip.

Swish!

Suddenly, Xu Que abruptly opened his vast Divine Sense, separated a small wisp, instantly controlled the bean curd skin that had formed into a strip in the air, and hung it directly in mid-air, letting the sunlight shine on it!

The crowd couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Can soy milk be used like this?

At the same time, Xu Que continued his previous operation, constantly condensing bean curd skin from the soy milk and scooping it up to throw into the high sky!

After a while, the large basin of soy milk was all used up, turning into hundreds of strips of bean curd skin, hanging in the air to dry in the sun!

"What on earth is he trying to do?"

"Since ancient times, I have never heard of any pill that requires soybeans, let alone soy milk and bean curd skin!"

"He's been at it for half a day, and he's only come up with these strips of bean curd skin, full of spiritual energy. Could it be that he's going to roll them into granules at the end and turn them into pills?"

Many people whispered and speculated.

The Black Robed Elder, however, always wore a look of disdain and mockery; the more Xu Que did, the more convinced he was that Xu Que didn't know how to refine pills!

"Buddha Master, this old man reminds you: I'm afraid you've been deceived by this kid!" The Black Robed Elder looked at Buddha Master Zeng and laughed in a strange tone.

Yun Yang Zi also frowned and said: "The Black Robed Daoist is right. This old man can guarantee that this kid doesn't know how to refine pills at all!"

"Buddha Master, I also advise you not to trust others lightly, especially since he's just a junior. What virtue or ability does he have to claim he can cure the Little Buddha Girl's illness!" Zhuo Feng also said with a cold face.

Buddha Master Zeng frowned immediately, feeling somewhat worried.

But when he turned his head and saw his little daughter standing on the high platform, happily licking a lollipop, that worry disappeared unknowingly.

"Let's wait and see. Whether it succeeds or fails, we will know soon!" In the end, Buddha Master Zeng showed a kind smile on his face, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Seeing this, Yun Yang Zi and the others immediately shut their mouths and said no more.

Because when the Buddha Master showed this expression, it often meant he had already made a decision and didn't want to hear any more opinions. If they were to talk too much, it would obviously be tactless!

At the same time, Xu Que in front of the alchemy furnace had already completed the next step!

All the air-dried bean curd skins were deep-fried in hot oil by him, and the fragrance that emerged made everyone present unable to help but swallow their saliva.

Even the Little Buddha Girl suddenly raised her head and took a look.

But soon, the Little Buddha Girl lowered her head again and continued to enjoy the delicious treat in her hand.

"Incredible. This is the first time I've seen alchemy that makes people hungry!"

"Dizzy, but this guy isn't refining pills at all!"

"Exactly. Damn, he lit the furnace fire and hasn't touched the furnace since. If I didn't know better, I'd think he was cooking!"

"Hmm? No, wait. You guys said, could this guy really be cooking?"

Someone suddenly exclaimed.

In an instant, many people present widened their eyes, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt this possibility was high.

Because all of Xu Que's operations from start to finish were more like cooking!

However, before everyone could reach a conclusion, Xu Que continued to the next step.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, Xu Que suddenly slapped the scorching hot alchemy furnace with his palm, and the furnace lid was instantly shaken into the air.

Following that, those hundreds of deep-fried bean curd skins were all poured into the alchemy furnace!

Seeing this scene, the speculation that had just emerged among the crowd was immediately dispelled!

"So it is alchemy after all!"

"Phew, that really gave me a scare. I actually thought he was cooking just now!"

"It's fine. Regardless of what he was doing with those bean curd skins earlier, it's good that he's started using the alchemy furnace now, which means he's preparing to refine pills!"

"Suddenly I'm a bit expectant. I wonder what kind of pill this guy is going to refine!"

"Exactly. First soybeans, then soy milk, and in the end, he turned them into bean curd skins. It's truly hard to fathom!"

The onlookers whispered among themselves.

The Black Robed Elder, Yun Yang Zi, and the others, including the alchemists present, couldn't help but show a trace of disdainful smiles and shook their heads repeatedly.

Using bean curd skin to refine pills?

Are you thinking too much?

Whether it's bean curd skin or soy milk, in the final analysis, they are mortal objects. Even if mixed with Life Spirit Holy Water, it's impossible for them to possess the unique spiritual energy like spirit medicine.

More importantly, it has never been heard of that bean curd skin can be used as medicinal material!

"It seems we can enjoy an exploding furnace! Then we can prepare to go outside the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and wait for that kid to be kicked out!" Yun Yang Zi laughed coldly, because he knew that the consequence of throwing random things into the alchemy furnace was the furnace exploding, which was very common!

"If this kid is not removed, today's events will be a disgrace to us!" Zhuo Feng also replied with a blank face.

The Black Robed Elder smiled without a word, but his eyes were already filled with murderous intent.

"Swish!"

Just at this moment, a muffled sound came from Xu Que's side.

He waved his large hand and suddenly exchanged for a large pile of things from the System Mall, sprinkling them all into the high sky.

Everyone in the audience looked closely and was instantly dumbfounded.

"Wha... what?"

"What is he trying to do? Use these things to refine pills?"

"Chili, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, cooking wine, salt?"

"Why do I feel like I'm living in a dream?"

Boom!

At this moment, a blazing black flame suddenly darted from Xu Que's palm, like a black fire dragon, rushing into the sky. The scorching temperature almost burned the void until it twisted.

Everyone present was startled by this momentum, and even the Buddha Master, the Black Robed Elder, Yun Yang Zi, and the others were moved by it!

"What an overbearing flame!"

"If it could be used by this old man, the success rate of alchemy would probably increase significantly in the future!"

A trace of greed couldn't help but flash in the depths of the eyes of Yun Yang Zi and the others.

And at this moment, Xu Que was controlling the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame, and the raging black fire directly rolled up those food spices in the air, constantly burning and refining them.

Soon, all the food spices began to melt in the flames, evaporating wisps of black smoke, gradually turning into pure essence liquid!

Xu Que had already heard the whispers of the surrounding crowd, but he sneered without a word.

A bunch of naive people!

You think these are ordinary chilies? These are Flame Peppers that grow in volcanoes!

You think these are ordinary cinnamon? These are top-grade spices picked from the Saintess Mountain!

You think these are ordinary star anise? These are deep-sea star anise spices picked from the Sea Qiao trees in the depths of the East Sea!

And that cooking wine is a top-grade wine brew extracted from various ten-thousand-year wine pulps!

Even the salt is the ten-thousand-year snow salt from the very bottom of the iceberg!

Although it only cost 10 Acting Cool Points in total, it is something you people will never be able to eat in your entire lives!

"Go!"

Finally, amidst the difficult wait of the crowd, Xu Que shouted in a deep voice and pointed one hand toward the mouth of the alchemy furnace!

In an instant, the refined food spice essence liquid in the air darted toward the alchemy furnace.

Following that, Xu Que quickly gathered the black flames back, directly surrounding the four sides of the alchemy furnace, controlling the constant temperature, and heating it comprehensively at 360 degrees!

"Gurgle gurgle!"

Under the terrible high-temperature roasting, the alchemy furnace soon emitted bursts of violent rolling sounds!

"Not good, this is the precursor to a furnace explosion!" In an instant, someone's face changed drastically, exclaiming, and they retreated frantically.

At the same time, the onlookers were also frightened out of their wits, scrambling backward!

Only Yun Yang Zi and the others wore mocking smiles of "as expected" on their faces.

"Pill formed! Open the furnace!"

But just at this moment, Xu Que suddenly shouted in a deep voice and slapped the alchemy furnace with one palm.

"Clang!"

Amidst the metallic trembling sound, the furnace lid instantly flew up, shattered into ash in the air, and dissipated with the wind.

Following that, wisps of white smoke rose slowly from the alchemy furnace, and an invincible fragrance that was refreshing to the heart and even made people unable to help but feel their blood surging instantly permeated the entire venue!

"Buddha Master, the Exploding Heaven Gang's exclusive medicinal cuisine—Ultimate Spicy Strips, has been refined!" Xu Que lifted his finger lightly, instantly pinching a red spicy strip from the alchemy furnace, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth!

In an instant, the entire venue was silent, not a sound to be heard!

Medicinal cuisine? Ultimate Spicy Strips?

Everyone was stunned on the spot, their heads blank, with only the sound of countless people swallowing their saliva remaining!

The Black Robed Elder, Yun Yang Zi, and Zhuo Feng were even more dumbfounded.

The furnace explosion they had imagined didn't appear; instead, something that made people's mouths water had been produced!

This... this kid, what on earth did he refine?

On the high platform, the Little Buddha Girl was also suddenly stunned.

With a "pat" sound, the lollipop she couldn't put down dropped to the ground, but she was completely unaware!

Buddha Master Zeng was also full of confusion, his gaze fixed tightly on the alchemy furnace emitting fragrance in front of Xu Que, then he suddenly reacted and shouted loudly: "Young friend, to tell you the truth, I actually have anorexia too, and I need a spicy strip to cure my illness!"

【Everyone, I have anorexia, and I need 10,000 monthly tickets to cure it!

And I went to sleep at 3 o'clock last night and crawled up to write at 6 o'clock this morning. As a result, my state was really bad; it took three or four hours to write one chapter, and I held this chapter in from the afternoon until now to finish it!

Saying so much, I actually just want to say that I am incredibly sleepy now and want to go to sleep, otherwise it will affect my state. Plus, since the 4,000 monthly ticket update goal wasn't reached today, I'll sleep until the early morning and then get up to write the second and third updates! Daoist friends who don't cultivate immortality, remember to rest early and watch tomorrow when you get up! Supreme Clarity Pajamas feels very sorry about this!】
