Chapter 72: Medicinal Scent Overflowing
Tang Linyuan and Wei Chuan sat and waited for Yang Yu to make a fool of himself.
The Bai family members were both expectant and nervous.
Only Liang Shitong's face gradually revealed a look of shock.
One look at his technique, and you know if he's an expert.
Seeing Yang Yu's series of actions, he realized that Yang Yu really knew how to refine the Lingyun Pill, and was very proficient at it!
The addition and extraction of medicinal materials—every small detail was impeccable.
Moreover, the control of the intensity of the flames in the alchemy furnace was extremely exquisite.
This level was something even Liang Shitong wouldn't dare say he could definitely achieve.
"Whoosh..."
Time passed slowly, and Yang Yu easily completed the extraction of all materials.
After obtaining the "Lingyun Pill Mastery" entry, the methods and details of refining this pill were as if they had been branded into his mind.
It wasn't just learning; it was mastery!
Yang Yu didn't need to think at all; he could perfectly execute the alchemy process; it was almost muscle memory.
"Not right..."
Tang Linyuan's smile gradually disappeared.
He had thought Yang Yu was just forcing himself to show off.
But so much time had passed, and this kid hadn't made a single mistake.
Most novice alchemists would fail when extracting medicinal liquid.
With so many types of raw materials used for the Lingyun Pill, Yang Yu had been able to easily complete the extraction and smoothly enter the stage of condensing into a pill.
"Disciple, why do I feel like this kid doesn't look like a novice at all."
Wei Chuan also muttered.
Tang Linyuan gritted his teeth and said:
"He must have been hiding his skills before. However, the alchemy isn't finished yet; the pill-forming stage is still very likely to fail! Once the various medicinal properties aren't controlled, a furnace explosion will surely occur during fusion!"
Whoosh...
Yang Yu suddenly poured in a large amount of Xuanqi; inside the alchemy furnace, the intensity of the flames instantly surged.
Multiple medicinal liquids condensed into a ball.
Under the roasting of the flames, it gradually changed from liquid to solid...
Pill-forming—this step took less time than extraction, but it required higher skill.
After all, the composition and properties of these medicinal liquids were very complex; forcing them to fuse into one and form a usable pill required extremely delicate operation, without the slightest mistake.
Once a mistake was made, he would have to start from the beginning.
Fortunately, Yang Yu's level was mastery, so there were no difficulties or risks.
About half an hour later, the pill took shape.
After a slight adjustment, he completed the finishing touches.
Slap!
Yang Yu pushed open the furnace lid with one palm, a wave of heat rushed out of the furnace mouth, and at the same time, a round pill flew out and landed in Yang Yu's hand.
A medicinal scent drifted across the entire venue.
Many people present couldn't help but take a few deep sniffs:
"What a rich medicinal scent."
"Just smelling it makes me feel the quality is extraordinary."
"Is this the scent a third-tier pill can achieve?"
"Look, the pill in Yang Yu's palm—this texture, this luster, it's truly top-tier."
The Bai family members exclaimed in admiration.
Even Liang Shitong's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yang Yu, can I take a look at this pill?"
"Of course." Yang Yu handed the pill over.
"No, impossible!"
Tang Linyuan stared and roared.
He had just refined the Lingyun Pill, exploded three alchemy furnaces, was seriously injured, and hadn't refined a single one.
And this Yang Yu had succeeded so easily?
Absolutely impossible!
"This pill must have a problem; it just looks like a pill, but it's actually trash, it's fake!"
Tang Linyuan continued to roar.
Liang Shitong frowned and said: "I've looked at this pill; the quality is extremely high; it's the best of the best among Lingyun Pills. You say it's fake?"
"No..." Tang Linyuan was very unwilling, but he didn't dare to question it anymore.
Master Liang was personally endorsing the pill; if he said the pill had a problem, it would be equivalent to insulting Master Liang.
"If you don't believe it, see for yourself." Liang Shitong snorted coldly and threw the pill over.
Whoosh!
Tang Linyuan caught the pill, and after just a few glances, his face became even uglier.
Even if he didn't want to, he had to admit that the quality of this pill was excellent.
At the very least, he had never refined such high quality.
"Don't forget the bet from just now." Yang Yu said with a smile.
Tang Linyuan's face changed drastically.
Right, the bet!
He had lost and had to kowtow to Yang Yu three times.
No, absolutely not!
He was a noble third-tier alchemist, the pride of the Tianxiang Sect; how could he kneel to someone?
Especially Yang Yu, whom he looked down upon the most!
"Yang Yu, don't bully people too much!"
Tang Linyuan's eyes widened in anger.
Yang Yu asked back: "I'm bullying people too much? Who was it that came here to run wild? Tang Linyuan, you aren't going to be a sore loser, are you? You're the one who proposed the bet."
Tang Linyuan said viciously: "I am a disciple of the Tianxiang Sect; making me kneel is not only humiliating me, but also humiliating the Tianxiang Sect!"
"Don't give me that crap; if you don't fulfill your promise today, don't think about leaving the Bai family." Yang Yu said coldly.
Tang Linyuan looked at Bai Sheng and questioned: "Family Head Bai, does what he says represent your Bai family? Is the Bai family going to forcibly keep me here?"
Bai Sheng also got angry and said: "Yang Yu's meaning is my meaning. Your Tianxiang Sect wants face, but does the Bai family not want it?"
Wei Chuan took a deep breath and advised: "Family Head Bai, it's just a small matter; is it necessary to make such a scene?"
Bai Sheng: "What, Elder Wei, as a senior, are you going to interfere in a bet between juniors?"
"If Elder Wei wants to interfere, then as Yang Yu's master, I'm afraid I can't just stand by and watch." Liang Shitong also stood out.
Wei Chuan's old face turned green.
He didn't expect that for Yang Yu's sake, the Bai family and Liang Shitong would completely disregard the Tianxiang Sect's face.
These three kowtows were likely unavoidable.
"Master, do I really have to kneel? With my noble status, how can I..."
A nameless fire suddenly ignited in Wei Chuan's heart:
This unlucky disciple, isn't it because you were incompetent that you ended up in this situation of being humiliated?
You've disgraced yourself, and you've also made me lose face and shamed the Tianxiang Sect!
The more Wei Chuan thought about it, the angrier he got, and he scolded: "Shut up, hurry up and finish kowtowing and return to the sect; don't make a fool of yourself here!"
Tang Linyuan was still unwilling and said:
"No, this Yang Yu claimed to be refining pills for the first time. He's so proficient; it's definitely not his first time! He deceived me first and induced me to propose this bet!"
The Bai family members said with dissatisfaction: "You are truly shameless; in any case, Yang Yu completed it, so you lost!"
Tang Linyuan bit the bullet and said: "He hid his skills maliciously and deliberately dug a hole for me; this bet doesn't count! Yang Yu, do you dare to swear that it was really your first time refining pills?"
Yang Yu said faintly: "How about we all make a Heavenly Dao Oath together? If it was my first time refining pills, may your whole family die. Otherwise, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."
Heavenly Dao Oath!
Hearing these words, Tang Linyuan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
A Heavenly Dao Oath isn't just something you say; it really comes true.
Warriors in this world don't dare to make Heavenly Dao Oaths lightly.
"What, you don't dare?" Yang Yu mocked. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
