Chapter 27 Try to refine pills
Whether it was Xiang Nan or Bai Muchen in his previous life, they were not proficient in business matters.
Therefore, although the elders were filled with righteous indignation, Xiang Nan had no choice but to listen to them from the side.
" Little Nan ." Xiang Shaohua suddenly turned to look at Xiang Nan and said, "The City Lord thinks highly of you. See if you can … let the City Lord talk to you."
"This is the only chance for our Xiang Clan to rise. If we can't get the deeds to the houses and land of those shops, our Xiang Clan will …"
"Alright, I'll discuss it with the City Lord tomorrow." Xiang Nan knew that this matter was of great importance, so he could only do so.
After receiving Xiang Nan's reply, the faces of the elders of the clan became much more relaxed. At this moment, no one dared to make things difficult for Xiang Nan at all.
It could also be said that the Xiang Clan now relied on Xiang Nan alone.
"Alright, let's stop here. little Nan , stay here. Everyone else, go back." Xiang Zhanxiong waved his hand, leaving Xiang Nan alone.
After everyone had left, Xiang Zhanxiong lowered his voice and said, " little Nan , your martial arts cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds recently. What exactly is going on?"
Xiang Nan knew that he couldn't conceal this matter, so he was mentally prepared and said, "Grandfather, actually … someone secretly helped little Nan ."
"Oh?" Xiang Zhanxiong was shocked, "So, that person secretly taught you cultivation techniques and taught you how to cultivate? Who is that person?"
Xiang Nan shook his head. "It's an old senior, but little Nan doesn't know his name. He didn't take little Nan as his disciple."
"However, the old man said that he valued my talent. He wanted to nurture me first. If I had any future prospects, he would consider accepting me."
Xiang Zhanxiong's face was filled with joy. He stroked his beard and smiled, "The strength and combat skills you've displayed lately, even Grandpa is ashamed of being inferior to you. I guessed that there must be an expert behind you."
"Even so, you must cultivate diligently. Don't waste their goodwill."
" Little Nan understands," Xiang Nan said respectfully.
Xiang Zhanxiong nodded and smiled, "Don't bother about the family matters. Just focus on your cultivation. You must be selected in Martial City and hand in a satisfactory answer to that senior."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, Xiang Nan brought all the ingredients and pill furnaces with him and rushed to the back mountain to refine the Second Grade Stone Skin Pill.
However, before that, he still sent a message to City Lord Hong Zhen, indicating the Xiang Clan's request for help.
Signaling was an expensive means of communication. It was a type of token filled with Essence that could be sent directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
Back mountain.
Xiang Nan set up a pill furnace and placed all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the stone skin pill in front of it.
Apothecary was an extremely noble profession in this world. Their martial arts might not be very strong, but their status was exceptionally high.
Just like how an ordinary mortal would have money and status, one day you would ask for a doctor, and a martial artist would definitely ask for an alchemist.
Pill concoction was a profound and unfathomable knowledge. This thing only depended on talent, not hard work.
If you don't have talent, even if you work hard all your life, you definitely won't be able to become a beginner alchemist.
In his previous life, Xiang Nan was a disciple candidate that countless alchemists wanted to frantically snatch. He had indeed learned some very high-end alchemy techniques, but he was more focused on martial arts.
"I've lost my five Heavenly Spiritual meridians. I wonder if I still have the talent to concoct pills in this life." Xiang Nan took three deep breaths in front of the furnace.
To tell the truth, he really didn't know if he could refine pills in this life.
The second-grade pill, the Stone Skin Pill, was complex as well as simple. It depended on who refined it.
"The ingredients are just superficial knowledge." Xiang Nan muttered to himself as he threw all kinds of spiritual herbs into the pill furnace.
Then, he took a deep breath and the weather in his body flowed to his right hand, slapping the pill furnace's outer wall with his palm.
The palm landed on the outer wall of the pill furnace, and the weather contained within it immediately poured into the pill furnace!
Almost at the same time, a fire rose beneath the pill furnace!
The temperature of the furnace quickly penetrated through the outer wall and entered the interior. The temperature was swept up by the previous weather and began to swim inside the pill furnace, preheating the spiritual herbs first.
There were far too many things to consider for an alchemist in pill concoction.
From the intensity of the fire, the speed of the fire, the timing of the furnace opening, to the alchemist's perception of the changes in the medicinal properties, every detail of the reaction of the spiritual herbs to the high temperature had to be taken into account.
If he wanted to write out this knowledge, he was afraid that even a dozen or so thick books wouldn't be able to hold it.
At this moment, Xiang Nan's expression became uglier and uglier.
He possessed extremely strong control over the weather, and the accuracy of his strength could be said to be rare in the world.
But the trouble is
"Damn it!" Xiang Nan frowned and said, "I can't feel the changes in the medicinal properties anymore!"
Wood talent was a great help in pill refinement. It allowed Xiang Nan to feel the changes in the temperature of every spiritual herb at any time.
However, in this life, he had already lost the innate attributes of the five elements. Although the fire could be controlled to perfection, he was unable to sense the medicinal properties inside the spirit herbs, nor could he sense the changes in the temperature of the spirit herbs.
Without this kind of perception, it would be foolish to refine pills.
At this moment, Xiang Nan was able to control the fire, but he didn't know what was going on with those spirit herbs.
"No, continue to refine blindly. All the spiritual herbs will be destroyed." Sweat appeared on Xiang Nan's forehead. It wasn't a pity that the spiritual herbs had been destroyed. Unfortunately, he had lost his talent in pill refining.
Just as he was about to give up helplessly, he suddenly had an idea. He suddenly converted the weather that swept the temperature of the furnace into thunder and lightning.
The Divine Grade Lightning Meridian innate talent allowed Xiang Nan to control the lightning power with absolute precision!
Thunder and lightning swept through the high temperature and quickly pierced through the spiritual herbs. In the next moment, a miracle occurred!
Those thunder and lightning energy actually pierced through the spirit herbs, dialyzing the most basic components of the spirit herbs!
Xiang Nan was shocked and said, "This … I actually …"
The power of thunder and lightning pierced through the spirit herbs, allowing Xiang Nan to understand the most detailed changes in the spirit herbs in his chest. The level of detail was even accurate to the molecular level!
Not only did he not lose his talent in alchemy, he was even more powerful! His perception of the changes in spiritual herbs was simply unprecedented!
Xiang Nan felt everything inside the pill furnace in disbelief. It was clear, thorough, accurate, and perfect!
After the herbs were preheated, Xiang Nan immediately increased the power of lightning and tempered the furnace fire to a higher temperature!
An hour later, Xiang Nan slammed his palm heavily on the outer wall of the furnace, and the top of the furnace instantly opened.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh
Three yellow pills were rolling in his palm, and Xiang Nan sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Second Grade Stone Skin Pill had succeeded, but it didn't waste the slightest bit of medicinal power. It had been refined into three pills!
Each grade of medicinal pill was divided into four grades, namely, low-grade, intermediate-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
As for the second-grade Stone Skin Pills that Xiang Nan refined, they were all top-grade second-grade pills, top-grade second-grade pills!
