Chapter 1432: Chapter 534 True Flame Pill, Blazing Heaven Sevenfold Rings_4

Leading a group of people, she arrived at the pharmacy where the medicinal materials were stored.

Before she could take the initiative to pay her respects to Luo Chen,

she heard a burst of heartfelt, jubilant exclamation coming from the adjacent Pill Room.

"What’s going on?"

As everyone was looking on in amazement,

Luo Chen, dressed in a loose and casual white robe, walked over from the next Pill Room with a smiling face.

"You’ve arrived!"

"Your servant pays respects to the Ascendant Master." Cheng Haixin greeted him with a graceful bow, looking at Luo Chen’s excited face, she asked, "Ascendant Master, are you so delighted because Pill Refinement was successful?"

Luo Chen grinned, "Haha, Haixin truly has a clear and exquisite heart. Correct, today I successfully refined a Third-Order Genuine Flame Pill. Such a joyful event must be made known to all!"

Once these words were spoken, Cheng Haixin hadn’t even reacted, but the people behind her all showed shocked expressions.

Third-Order Elixir!

This legendary Demon King Qingyang is indeed a Third Order Pill Refiner!

Cheng Haixin herself did not understand the nuances of the Dao of Alchemy and didn’t know its true value; she simply said with corresponding emotions, "With good wine, naturally, there should be good dishes. I will have someone prepare the feast to celebrate for the Ascendant Master."

"Haha, Haixin is thoughtful."

Luo Chen laughed heartily, then waved his sleeves.

"No rush for the moment, let me first see the skills of these people."

As he spoke, with a beckoning gesture,

suddenly, a large number of medicinal materials flew out one after another from the shelves in the pharmacy.

These medicinal materials, as if they had spirituality, all flew in front of those eighteen people.

Luo Chen’s smile faded, and he spoke seriously, "Next, you will process these medicinal materials for me on the spot, according to the standards I’ve told you beforehand. If anyone falls short..."

The rest of Luo Chen’s words weren’t voiced,

but everyone else was not a fool; failing to meet standards likely meant being driven out of Yao Yue Island, losing the opportunity to earn contributions for their Clan.

For a time, the pharmacy descended into a bustling hub of activity.

The eighteen people were all well-known figures from the Flying Swallow Islands, and basically their learned skills were related to Pill Refinement.

At this moment, they all took out specialized tools and corresponding auxiliary materials from their Storage Bags to process the herbs.

Fortunately, the medicinal materials given by Luo Chen were of the lowest First Order, and they were common medicinal materials, not particularly difficult to process.

Time slowly passed.

Gradually, some people finished.

The ones who completed their work stood by nervously.

The rest hastened their pace.

Half an hour later, Luo Chen stood in front of the eighteen sets of medicinal materials and inspected each in turn.

"Good quality, up to standard."

"Up to standard."

"Not bad."

"The heat treatment is inadequate; this herb is ruined. You..." Luo Chen glanced at a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and shook his head.

That man’s face turned as white as snow in an instant.

"Demon Monarch, I am a First Order Pill Master, able to refine Medium Grade Ning Shui Pills. I am quite capable."

Luo Chen frowned; what he needed were underlings who could process medicinal materials well.

Pill Masters?

Not wanting to waste more words, he signaled Cheng Haixin with his eyes, and she immediately approached to deal with this man.

Luo Chen stepped forward, continuing his inspection.

The majority were qualified, except for two individuals who had failed—and these two, coincidentally, both held the status of First Order Pill Masters.

"It seems these minor powers are trying to send Pill Masters over to steal secrets, eh!"

Luo Chen chuckled to himself.

These Clan-trained Pill Masters mostly started directly with Pill Refinement, using already-processed herbs, naturally lacking the necessary skills.

Failure was to be expected.

Luo Chen’s footsteps finally stopped in front of a youthful boy with rosy lips and pearly white teeth.

He looked down at the herb, a curious light appearing in his eyes.

"This Golden Branch seems to have failed, yet some of its medicinal properties are preserved, strange processing technique."

"What is your name?"

The boy, his teeth chattering, responded, "My name is Xu Muxian, a collateral member of the Xu Family, skilled in handling medicinal herbs. I can also refine Fasting Pills and Five Grain Pills."

The Fasting Pill and Five Grain Pill were common elixirs, nothing extraordinary.

However, considering the boy’s age of fifteen or sixteen and his mastery in handling medicinal herbs, that he could refine two types of elixir pills was actually quite remarkable.

"Can you tell me what technique you used to process this Golden Branch?"

Xu Muxian hesitated for a moment before replying, "I used Red Rock Liquid for soaking, but I misjudged its quality, so it failed."

Red Rock Liquid, a fire attribute spirit liquid, typically formed when magma from underwater volcanoes mixed with the liquid from an underwater spirit spring.

Using fire to overcome metal, not only did he grasp the concept of the Five Elements overcoming each other, but he daringly applied it.

A promising seed indeed.

Luo Chen looked intently at the boy, "You stay."

Xu Muxian, who had already lost hope, couldn’t hide his extreme surprise when he heard those three words.

Luo Chen returned to Cheng Haixin’s side, "Most of these individuals are fine, just add a couple more later. You don’t need to bother me then; let this person help keep an eye on things."

While speaking, Luo Chen gestured toward the elder who had first completed processing the herbs.

Cheng Haixin nodded, "Elder Qi is indeed formidable; he has a great reputation as a herbalist in the Flying Swallow Islands."

Luo Chen grunted in acknowledgment, then continued on his way out of the pill room.

Cheng Haixin instructed the group on when to start work and then quickly followed after Luo Chen.

Watching her leaving figure, Xu Muxian, amidst the crowd, showed a look of envy on his face.

While leaving Yao Yue Island on a small boat with the others, Elder Qi suddenly grabbed the young boy’s arm.

"Elder Qi?"

"You young lad are in luck. That Demon Monarch Lord has taken a special interest in you. Perhaps he could teach you a thing or two about the Pill Technique."

Xu Muxian asked, half in doubt, "Really?"

Elder Qi smiled kindly, "Of course it’s true. We rely on experience in handling those herbs, which is a proven method. But you ventured to be different; though you failed, you revealed your spirituality. These great figures, sometimes they fancy prodigies with spirituality."

"But I’m just at the Second Level of Qi Refinement; can I really catch the Demon Monarch Lord’s eye?" Xu Muxian still lacked confidence.

Elder Qi shook his head, "Don’t worry too much. In his eyes, there’s little difference between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement. As long as you work steadily from now on, your day will come."

He added finally,

"If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me first."

Watching the boy’s bewildered yet joyful expression, Elder Qi couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

It was said that Xu Muxian was not well-regarded within the Xu Family.

Despite having the talent of a Pill Refiner, no one supported his Pill Refinement, and he could only scrape by making the lowest grade of Fasting Pills and Five Grain Pills.

Today, let it be a kind act, forming a good relationship!

Should this boy truly catch Demon King Qingyang’s interest in the future, his gamble today might just bless his descendants.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, the great figures had their ways of living, as did the lesser folks their struggles.

Luo Chen didn’t realise how a moment’s thought could bring such a life-changing encounter to a young man.

All he knew was that he himself was feeling very hot!

In the bedroom, Luo Chen’s complexion was as rosy as a boiled lobster, with streams of heat rising from the top of his head.

Within him, a Lower Grade Genuine Flame Pill was being refined, unleashing its medicinal power.

The medicinal power was vast, like a fiery river surging through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, orifices, and flesh.

The sound of it, reminiscent of a mighty river’s flow.

Stimulated, even the Sea of Qi began to ripple slightly.

After a while, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, a puff of hot air gently exhaled from his mouth.

"Indeed a True Flame Pill!"

"Such immense power, such a domineering nature!"

In his eyes, apart from the joy and admiration, there was also a hint of lingering fear.
