Chapter 874 - The Explosion of the Furnace



Chapter 874 The Explosion of the Furnace

Su Wuxian said, “Young man, you can rest assured that these pills will be yours. However, our Alchemist Association will purchase them at a high price. At that time, we will give you a satisfactory price.”

Qin Haodong immediately said, “That’s good. Great!”

Fang Qiong’er gave a cold humph. “Greedy guy!”

Qin Haodong did not care about this title. What he lacked most now was money. After all, it was difficult to go anywhere in the academy without money.

The three of them came to a huge alchemy room in the Alchemist Association. Someone had already prepared the medicinal materials needed for refining pills.

With Su Wuxian’s approval, more than a dozen people also came in and cheered for their goddess. They wanted to see how miserable Qin Haodong would be later.

Qin Haodong chose a position. With a thought, the Shennong Furnace suddenly appeared in the alchemy room.

Seeing the simple and grand Shennong Furnace, Su Wuxian’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had been an Alchemist for so many years but he had never seen such a good furnace.

He circled round the Shennong Furnace a few times and couldn’t help saying, “Good furnace! This is definitely a good furnace!”

Fang Qiong’er snorted and said, “You don’t have the ability. What’s the use of having a good furnace?”

Qin Haodong smiled slightly. This woman was really arrogant. Since she was so supercilious, then let me defeat her!

He stretched out his index finger and flicked it gently. A dazzling fire entered the Shennong Furnace and then turned into a raging fire. The competition of refining pills officially began.

Fang Qiong’er felt hurt and resentful in her heart. She did not say anything else. With a slight shake of her wrist, a huge furnace appeared in the alchemy room.

Then, she lit the fire, heated the furnace, and put the herbs in. Everything was done in one go, showing her solid foundation in alchemy.

Although she was proud and arrogant, she knew that it wasn’t easy to refine Cultivation Pills. Therefore, with a grave expression, she fully concentrated on using all her abilities.

Zhang Dapeng said, “Who do you think will win this competition?”

Ma Yan said, “Without doubt, Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er is sure to win. That sensational guy can’t refine the Level Five pills.”

The others echoed his thoughts and stood on Fang Qiong’er’s side.

Zhang Dapeng said, “I feel that Brother Qin is remarkable. Maybe he can’t defeat Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er but he can also refine Level Five pills.”

Ma Yan said disdainfully at once, “You’ve taken the exam three times and failed to get the Level One Medal. How can a new guy like him refine Level Five pills? Are you thinking with your heels?”

Zhang Dapeng shook his head and did not refute. Logically speaking, he did not think Qin Haodong could succeed but he felt in his heart that this person was unusual.

Qin Haodong was not affected by them at all. Without the little fellow’s innate fire, it was a little bit weak only in terms of the strength of the fire.

However, his alchemy skills were extremely good and he was very familiar with the Cultivation Pill. The medicinal materials flew into the Shennong Furnace one by one and soon turned into rich medicinal liquid. All the procedures were natural and smooth. The speed was amazing.

Su Wuxian was secretly shocked. This young man’s technique was fast but every step was just right. It could be seen that his alchemy skill was so good that even he could not do this. Could it be that he could really refine Level Five pills?

“What is this guy doing? Isn’t his refining speed too fast?”

Ma Yan scornfully said, “What’s the use of being fast? Refining pills is not a race. I think he will blow up the furnace soon…”

“I think so too. Look at Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er. That is really refining…”

They were all amateurs. Anyway, they were just optimistic about Fang Qionger.

Fang Qiong’er secretly glanced at Qin Haodong. She couldn’t help feeling a little perturbed in her heart. This guy looked calm and skilled. He seemed a master and didn’t seem like a rookie at all.

It seemed like she had to increase her speed. Otherwise, even if they both succeeded later, she would still lose face if she lost in terms of speed.

She had not realized that she subconsciously acknowledged that Qin Haodong could refine Cultivation Pills.

Qin Haodong’s speed increased rapidly. He showed no signs of slowing down at all.

About 20 minutes later, a strong smell of pills filled the room. Qin Haodong had finished refining his pills.

He turned off the fire and put away the pills. Nine fiery red pills appeared in the jade bottle in his hand. The surfaces of these pills overflowed with three dazzling golden veins.

Qin Haodong shook his head slightly. It seemed he could not make 12 pills due to the lack of the Innate Fire of the little fellow.

“What’s going on? This guy really refined pills. Isn’t that a bit too fast?”

“The speed is so fast. Why didn’t the furnace explode?”

“I don’t think it’s right. I’ve seen many masters refining pills but I’ve never seen anyone doing it at such a fast pace. I don’t think what this guy has refined is anything special, but it’s definitely not the Cultivation Pill…”

Everyone was shocked by Qin Haodong’s speed. They looked at the jade bottle in his hand.

Su Wuxian was a Level Seven Alchemist. As a master amongst Alchemists, he could tell from the scent that these pills were Cultivation Pills.

He walked over and took the jade bottle from Qin Haodong’s hand. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly. The nine Cultivation Pills were not only extremely round and smooth, full and moist but also had three golden veins.

Even with his skill as the Level Seven Alchemist, the pills refined by him could not form veins every time. Even if he could, there would only be one vein. However, the pills that this young man had refined actually had three veins. From this, it could be seen just how good this young man’s skill was.

Seeing Su Wuxian’s expression, the others immediately gathered around. Ma Yan asked, “President Su, what did he refine? Are these really the Cultivation Pills?”

Su Wuxian said excitedly, “Little Qin not only refined the Cultivation Pills, but these pills even have three veins.

“Normally, a pill only with one vein is already a high-level pill but the pills refined by him actually have three veins. I have to admit that I can’t compare to him!”

Hearing Su Wuxian’s words, everyone present was shocked. Earlier, they had guessed that it would be impossible for him to succeed. In the end, he actually refined pills with three veins. Even the President felt inferior to him. What kind of alchemy attainment had he reached?

Especially Ma Yan, he felt a burning sensation on his face. As a second-grade student, he was a student majoring in alchemy. However, even after all this time, he had yet to obtain an Alchemist Medal.

As a result, Qin Haodong became a Level Five Alchemist in one go. The difference between them was too great.

Fortunately, Qin Haodong did not take him seriously at all, nor did he mock him.

Everyone’s surprised looks and exclamations were clearly seen and heard by Fang Qiong’er. Not only did he refine pills quickly, but the quality was also very good. She had never refined a pill with three veins, which meant that she had lost this time.

“What’s going on? As a Level Five Alchemist, how can I lose to a newcomer?”

Due to her emotional fluctuations, she had forgotten that the greatest taboo for Alchemists was to be absent-minded. When she returned to her senses, she found that a medicinal material hadn’t been placed in by her at the preset time. It was late by half a breath’s time.

The reason why it was so difficult to become Alchemists was that they had to follow the prescribed steps when refining. They could not be late or early. If they made a slight mistake, the result would range from failing to refine pills to the explosion of the furnace.

This was exactly the situation Fang Qiong’er experienced now. Because she had been momentarily distracted, the power in the furnace boiled as if it had been ignited by something. The huge furnace kept shaking and making strange noises.

“What bad luck! The furnace is going to explode!”

No one knew who shouted but everyone’s expressions changed. It was the Alchemists’ nightmare when the furnace exploded.

Furthermore, Fang Qiong’er was refining Level Five pills. The higher the level of the pills was, the more powerful the explosion of the furnace would be. If the furnace really exploded, none of them would survive.

Su Wuxian naturally knew the severity of the explosion, so he immediately shouted with a serious expression, “All of you, hurry and leave. I will deal with the situation here.”

Zhang Dapeng, Ma Yan, and the others did not dare to hesitate. They immediately left the alchemy room as fast as they could.

At this time, anyone could leave, except Fang Qiong’er. Once the furnace was out of control, it would immediately explode. There was no way for her to escape.

Looking at the teetering furnace, Su Wuxian was anxious but there was nothing he could do. Just then, he saw Qin Haodong next to him and immediately shouted, “Why aren’t you leaving?”

“President Su, you leave first, let me handle it.”

After that, Qin Haodong strode behind Fang Qiong’er.

“Stop fooling around. Come back now!” Su Wuxian shouted loudly.

As a Level Seven Alchemist, he could not deal with the current situation, let alone Qin Haodong, who had just entered the academy.

If there was a master in the Grand Completion Realm at this time, he could suppress the power in the furnace with his own strength and control of the herbs. However, no one could do it with their current cultivations at this moment.

At this time, Fang Qiong’er face had paled. She was no longer arrogant. She was trying her best to control the furnace in front of her but it was obviously beyond her control. The furnace was on the verge of exploding.

Suddenly a firm voice came into her ears. “From now on, listen to my commands. Don’t panic! Don’t retreat!”

Just now, Fang Qiong’er wanted to retreat but she could not. Once she retreated, the furnace would immediately explode.

“I…”

Her face was deathly pale. She didn’t know what to say.

“What? Are you afraid? Aren’t you proud? As an Alchemist, are you afraid of the explosion of the furnace?”

“Who said I’m scared!”

Qin Haodong’s words immediately aroused Fang Qiong’er’s fighting spirit. She was a proud woman. She would rather die here than lose her dignity.

Qin Haodong knew that his provocation worked. He calmed Fang Qiong’er down and immediately continued, “Throw the remaining Ziyang Leaf and Thousand Vines into the furnace immediately.”

“Will… will… this work?”

Fang Qiong’er was shocked. The furnace was on the verge of exploding at this point. If these two kinds of Yang elements herbs were added, wouldn’t the explosion be greater?

After learning alchemy for so long, she had never seen anyone refine pills like this…

According to the current situation, even if the furnace exploded, with her own cultivation, she would at most be seriously injured and still have a chance to live.

If the rest of the herbs were thrown in, the huge explosive energy would not be something that she could resist.

“Is this guy teaching me how to refine pills or is he deliberately messing with me? Is he taking revenge for the 0 marks given by me just now?” she wondered.

“Quickly, do you dare or not?” Qin Haodong screamed at her urgently.

666

“What’s there to be afraid of? At worst, we’ll die together!”

Hearing Qin Haodong’s rebuke, Fang Qiong’er immediately became angry. She gritted her teeth and threw the two kinds of herbs that Qin Haodong had mentioned into the furnace.

Sure enough, after the remaining herbs were put into the furnace, the power in the furnace became even greater. The shaky and unsteady furnace shook even more violently.

Su Wuxian was completely stupefied. What the hell was this guy doing? Wasn’t this like the saying “adding fuel to the fire?”

At this moment, the furnace in front of him could no longer bear the force. A large number of cracks appeared on the sides of the furnace.
