Chapter 131 Strong On The List
The third time, Xiang Nan failed again! This result was extremely strange, confusing Xiang Nan.
Only then did he realize that the pill refining process was far more complicated than he had imagined.
At this moment, it was already dark.
When Xiang Nan opened the fourth furnace, just an hour later, half of the gourd behind him suddenly opened his mouth.
"The heat is low."
Xiang Nan suddenly turned around. The half of the gourd was still with his eyes closed. Xiang Nan even suspected that he had said that sentence.
"The fire is low? Impossible. I have already controlled the fire to the highest standard." Xiang Nan muttered to himself.
The half of the gourd chuckled, "The control of fire and timing is just a superficial understanding of pill concoction by an amateur."
"Do you really think refining pills is that easy?"
"Have you ever played chess? Alchemy is like a game. Every time, it's a game between an alchemist and a pill furnace, a pill fire, a spiritual herb, and the right time and place."
"The height of the terrain, the density of the air, and the changes in the weather can all affect the pill refining process."
"The same grade, the same type of herbs, there are also slight differences, just like there are no two people in this world who are exactly the same."
Xiang Nan immediately became serious and listened earnestly to the guidance of half a gourd. It was a rare opportunity for him to hear the guidance of an alchemist.
"But …" Xiang Nan hurriedly asked, "If I increase the heat, at least three of them will be destroyed."
"I told you." Half a gourd lazily dug his ears: "Alchemy is like a game, sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself to retreat."
"Take the Hundred Flavors Grass in the pill furnace for example. This kind of herb itself will be destroyed in the second stage of refining the Essence Transformation Pill."
"You only focus on controlling the temperature and trying to take care of every herb. How can that work?"
When Xiang Nan heard the words of half a gourd, he seemed to be enlightened and suddenly woke up.
Half a gourd added, "Because the Origin Transformation Pill formula itself is contradictory. If you strictly follow the formula, you will definitely fail."
"There's no such thing as perfection in the world. It's like when you use a knife to chop down your enemy, and you will surely suffer a backlash."
"If you don't even want to withstand this kind of backlash and only want perfection, then don't fight anymore."
Hearing this, Xiang Nan was terrified and quickly bowed deeply to the half gourd. Then, he took a deep breath and began to increase the temperature in the pill furnace.
At the same time, he realized that he was too arrogant.
Xiang Nan was extremely serious about the next refinement. Just like half a gourd said, he must not be stingy when it came to sacrificing! Pill refining was originally an act of seizing the good fortune of heaven's work and doing it in defiance of the heavens.
Gradually, the spiritual herbs in the pill furnace began to fuse together.
About two hours later, a delicate fragrance filled the entire pill room.
Xiang Nan didn't dare to be careless. At this last moment, he perfected the pill furnace. Then, he slapped the pill furnace. The top of the pill furnace opened, and a Soul Transformation Pill flew out with a whoosh.
Xiang Nan wanted to reach out and grab it, but the Essence Transformation Pill suddenly disappeared.
Looking back, he saw half of the gourd holding the Essence Transformation Pill in his hand, nodding his head and saying, "A second-grade top-grade pill is not bad, is it?"
If others succeeded in refining the Essence Transformation Pill, they would definitely be very happy and anxious to put it away.
However, Xiang Nan did not. He bowed respectfully to the half gourd again. "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. I have benefited a lot from listening to your words."
Half of the gourd smiled indifferently and threw the Essence Transformation Pill to Xiang Nan. "Don't thank me," he said. "This old man was only willing to give you a few pointers because of your talent."
"If it were anyone else, even if they knelt in front of my door for three whole years, I wouldn't be bothered to say another word to him."
Xiang Nan smiled comprehensively and said, "The Dao is different, it is not a conspiracy."
Half of the gourd chuckled and staggered out of the door. As he walked, he said, "Caiyue girl has taken in a good disciple. Her father is in the heavens, so it's time to laugh."
Xiang Nan wasn't in a hurry to hand over the task. Instead, he rushed back to Sun Peak and told his master that he hadn't disappointed her.
In front of the Sun Palace, Xu Caiyue placed her hands behind her back and silently looked at the starry sea.
When Xiang Nan's tiny figure crossed the arch bridges and arrived in front of the Sun Palace, he revealed a bright smile, "Master, I'm back."
"Yes." Xu Caiyue grunted and turned around to enter the palace without looking at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan stood outside, but his heart was warm. Although his master didn't care about his life or death, he was waiting outside the hall for his return.
"Master, I won't lose face for Sun Peak." Xiang Nan roared and quickly ran down the mountain.
When the staff received the mission scroll and the Origin Transformation Pill that Xiang Nan handed over, they were all stunned.
"One day?" The staff member was shocked, "You completed a first-class special mission in just one day?"
"Do you know that you are the fastest person to complete the first mission among this group of newly promoted students?"
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Excuse me, give me the quest list scroll. I want to choose another quest."
The staff member looked at Xiang Nan like he was looking at a ghost. He handed over the mission list scroll and a waist token that had 50 credits stored in it to Xiang Nan.
This waist token was a credit token, and it was also the waist token of the Haoran Sect. Back when Jiang Yunfan first appeared, it was this type of token that had been shown to everyone.
When Xiang Nan chose his second mission, the staff had already reported the situation to the person in charge of the eagle ranking.
Because the pill refining mission was different from the other missions, the other missions did not specify the number of failures. A single failure would be considered a complete failure.
Therefore, even though Xiang Nan had failed three times in refining the Essence Transformation Pill, it was still considered a complete success. Furthermore, it only took him one day to complete it.
This also set a new record! In the history of the Credit Hall, it was the fastest record of completing a first-class special mission.
There were only the top 500 teams on the Eagle Rankings, and there was no ranking after the top 500.
This time, Xiang Nan directly entered the rankings. The word "Suns" jumped to the 450th place.
After the words "Suns", there were three big words: "Sun Peak!"
When the staff and the rankings were rewritten, everyone raised their heads and looked up. Especially when they saw the three words "Sun Peak", everyone present was stunned.
It was followed by spontaneous, enthusiastic applause.
After the staff member who wrote the rankings came down, he raised his head to look at Sun Peak's third son and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Sun Peak hasn't appeared on the Eagle Rankings for many years."
On the other side, Xiang Nan pointed to the mission list and said, "Sorry to trouble you, I have to take this mission."
Level 1 Special Rank: Refining Tier 2 Blood Transformation Pills.
The Blood Transforming Pill was a very special antidote pill. It was not common. It was specifically used to deal with a drug called Petrification Poison. Of course, if one did not receive the poison and consumed the Blood Transforming Pill alone, then the effect of the pill would not be antidote, but poison.
The staff member shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Looks like you've had a hard time with the pill concoction mission. However, let me remind you, this is the last of the first-class special-grade pill concoction missions."
"If you want to take on another pill refining mission, you can only choose from among the first-class superiors."
As he spoke, the staff handed over the specific task scroll to Xiang Nan.
