Chapter 67: Ancient Pill-Making Method? Refining Pills With Bare Hands!
Translation
The Mother Cauldron, on the other hand, was extremely violent. Anyone who touched it would be in danger. If one did not have any special methods, they would easily fall for it. Even Lu Haoxuan and Baizhi would have fallen for it, but now...
Baizhi’s gaze fell on Gu Xi’s hand. The cauldron was very calm and looked no different from an ordinary cauldron. It did not look like its usual berserk self.
She could not help but have doubts in her heart. Was this really the same cauldron?
Only those who had come into contact with the Mother Cauldron knew how terrifying this cauldron was. This was also the reason why Lu Haoxuan and Baizhi, who knew that it was of great value and could suppress the Son Cauldron, still chose to take it out and exchange for it.
“Where did you get this cauldron?” Lu Haoxuan asked. He seemed to be very interested in Gu Xi’s cauldron, which attracted many people’s attention.
“This cauldron looks very ordinary. Why would Alchemy Emperor Lu look at it differently?”
The crowd discussed in hushed tones. No matter how much they looked at it, they could not find anything special about it.
The cauldron had been sealed by the system. With Gu Xi’s extraction and suppression, it was no longer as dangerous as before. Thus, these people could not see anything unusual.
“This is a gift from my Master.”
Gu Xi took out the excuse that he had prepared long ago. In any case, anything could be pushed to that Master who did not exist. Even if Lu Haoxuan could see that he was someone from the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce that day, what could he do?
Lu Haoxuan could not help but fall into silence. From his previous actions, he dared to conclude that there must be an extraordinary force behind Gu Xi. Otherwise, with his ability, it was impossible that he was unable to find the person who had created the Flawless quality pill.
The person behind the scenes must have hidden it very deeply. Even he could not easily offend such a force.
No one knew how complicated Lu Haoxuan’s emotions were at the moment. He had never thought that at the Dao Conference in the Capital, first there would be a Flawless quality pill, and then even people from the Demon Region would come to join in the fun.
Now that he knew about the existence of such a colossus, he did not know whether this news was good or bad for the Capital. He had a faint premonition that this young man in front of him was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
“I’m afraid that Baizhi is going to lose.”
Lu Haoxuan suddenly opened his mouth. The referee beside him could not help but be shocked when he heard this. Gu Xi had the strength, and he was indeed a dark horse that had made it to the finals.
However, before the two of them could refine their pills, Lu Haoxuan had already said these words. He asked in puzzlement, “Miss Baizhi is so young, yet she has already reached the level of an extraordinary sage. Although that kid is mysterious and has some abilities, it won’t be easy for him to win.”
Lu Haoxuan shook his head and could not help but sigh. “Although this Child Cauldron is powerful, the Mother Cauldron has its suppressive effect.”
As expected, on the field, Baizhi frowned and her movements suddenly stopped. The Child Cauldron in her hand kept buzzing and was not under her control at all. It seemed like it was about to leave her palm.
If it were not for the fact that Baizhi had spent all her efforts to barely suppress it, the Child Cauldron’s condition at the moment was not suitable for refining pills. The white light flickered and appeared extremely unstable.
When the others saw this, they were also discussing it animatedly.
“What’s wrong with Miss Bai? Why did she suddenly stop?”
“Look, it seems like there’s something wrong with the cauldron in her hand. Wasn’t it fine before? How did it become like this after the appearance of that other cauldron?”
The people on the field still did not know that these were the Child and Mother Cauldrons because there was nothing similar about their bodies. One was exquisite and resplendent, flowing with light and overflowing with color, looking full of divinity. The other one was gray and ordinary. No one could connect the two together.
“You have the Mother Cauldron in your hand. You’re naturally able to suppress the Child Cauldron. I’m simply unable to display my full strength.”
The crowd only came to a sudden realization after hearing this. So there was actually such a twist in the story.
“Those are the Mother and Child Cauldrons! It doesn’t look like it at all. But how did the Mother Cauldron end up in this kid’s hand, while Miss Bai has the Child Cauldron in her hand?”
“No wonder Alchemy Emperor Lu suddenly asked about it earlier. He must have figured it out.”
Gu Xi was not stupid, so she naturally knew what Baizhi was implying. Even if he won, it would be an unfair victory. Seeing Baizhi’s unconvinced look, he curved his lips.
“If that’s the case –”
He waved his hand and actually summoned the cauldron back.
This action was beyond everyone’s expectations. “What is he going to do? Change another cauldron at the last minute?”
“It seems like it’s too late now. The incense has already been burned by more than half.”
Everyone was confused. Even Baizhi was stunned on the spot.
“Then I’ll make you completely convinced.”
The moment he finished speaking, Gu Xi waved his hands. Countless precious medicinal herbs seemed to have been summoned by something and fell into his palms.
A dense spiritual light appeared as if it was a burning flame. Green essence burst out and was constantly extracted, as if it was reborn.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, not knowing what Gu Xi was going to do.
Only Lu Haoxuan’s breathing was rapid. He stood up from his chair again, even more so than before. “He’s going to –”
“He, he’s not going to refine pills with his bare hands, is he?!”
Someone shouted in surprise, and everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces.
“Refining pills with bare hands? How can there be such a method? How can it be done without a pill furnace? You must be joking, right?”
