C943 Transparent Pill
"Wow!"
The act of Lee Zhuohua grabbing the medicinal liquid caused an uproar. They couldn't understand what Lee Zhuohua was doing.
"Is he giving up on himself? If he can't refine Pills, he will destroy his own medicinal liquid." Someone commented.
"I knew that he was just pretending. Tsk." None of the surrounding alchemists could see through Lee Zhuohua's intentions, and all of them had a mocking and ridiculing attitude.
"Hmm?" Chenhua was also shocked by Lee Zhuohua's action of grabbing the medicinal liquid. Just now, he saw that Lee Zhuohua had the ability to seal the medicinal properties, so he didn't think that Lee Zhuohua was an amateur.
But now, what Lee Zhuohua was doing had completely exceeded his understanding of pill refining. He had never seen anyone grab his medicinal liquid and scatter it. Could it be that he had really given up on himself?
However, just as Chenhua was about to think like this, he noticed with his sharp eyes that Lee Zhuohua's outstretched hand did not retract. It still maintained the grabbing motion as if it was grabbing something in his hand.
"You're putting on an act!" Qin Nanqin snorted in disdain.
Right now, no one really thought that Lee Zhuohua knew how to refine pills and thought that he was just putting on an act.
"He really is just an amateur?" He Xinsong also thought that Lee Zhuohua had given up on his qualification and was about to announce the grade of the Pills.
"Wait a moment." However, Wan Mu called out to him. Wan Mu was staring intently at Lee Zhuohua's hand, as if he was holding onto something.
"What are you waiting for? This kid has already given up on himself. The others are waiting for him." He Xinsong said in confusion.
"Take a closer look at his hand," Wan Mu only said.
Although He Xinsong did not understand, he still looked over. With a single glance, he was also stunned.
"What is this?" He Xinsong had always felt that Lee Zhuohua did not know how to refine pills, so he did not observe him carefully. Now that he looked at his hand carefully, he could feel it.
In Lee Zhuohua's hand, there was a special fluctuation that was slowly brewing, as if there was a life in his hand, breathing slowly.
"Why aren't you starting the competition? This person has already failed. Are you just going to let us wait like this?" Someone couldn't wait any longer and started to shout in annoyance.
"That's right. What's the point of making so many of us wait for him?" The voices echoed one after another.
For a moment, the entire square looked at Lee Zhuohua with eyes full of dissatisfaction and disdain.
"Shut up!" Chenhua suddenly shouted.
As a member of the Chen family in Broken Leaf City, he had a certain prestige among these alchemists, and once he spoke, no one else dared to speak.
Although the square had become quiet, the eyes of these people were still full of dissatisfaction towards Lee Zhuohua.
However, since Chenhua had already spoken, no matter how dissatisfied the others were, they would not show it again.
"Hmph, a waste of time." Qin Nanqin had always been at odds with Chenhua, so when she heard his voice, she whispered.
Just like that, the entire square was waiting for Lee Zhuohua, and Lee Zhuohua seemed to be in a trance, just standing there motionless.
In fact, it was not that Lee Zhuohua did not make a move. What he grabbed in his hand was the essence of the liquid. He was motionless because he was communicating with the mark of the Vermillion Bird and wanted to trigger the fire of the Vermillion Bird to form the pill.
But in the eyes of others, this kind of action was like playing tricks on them.
Time slowly passed, and there was only half an hour left.
"Teng!"
A blazing flame ignited in Lee Zhuohua's hand. The moment this flame appeared, the temperature in the square suddenly rose.
Those who felt the flame were stunned and looked at Lee Zhuohua in a daze.
"What kind of fire is that? Why is it crimson red?"
"What's going on? Wouldn't such a flame burn out the medicinal liquid?"
The people who did not know what was going on were all questioning.
Not only them, even Chenhua and Wan Mu were puzzled when they saw the scarlet flame. Although they did not know what kind of flame it was, they could tell from the heat coming from the flame that it was not an ordinary flame.
And as far as they knew, refining the medicinal properties required a fierce fire, but the temperature had to be constant when the pill was formed. Even Qin Nanqin's fierce refining methods had to follow this law.
However, when Lee Zhuohua was refining the medicinal properties, he used a low-temperature flame, but when the pill was formed, he used such a fierce flame. In everyone's opinion, this was a bit of a reversal.
However, this kind of refining step was the necessary step to refine the Heaven's Mandate Pill.
Under the burning of the Fire of the Vermilion Bird, Lee Zhuohua slowly opened his palm, and the thing in his hand fell into everyone's eyes.
It was a transparent Pills. Although it had yet to be refined fully, everyone could feel a mysterious and strange aura from it.
The transparent color indicated that the impurities in the Pill had already been removed, and its purity was extremely high.
This was the key point of using the Fire of the Vermillion Bird to remove all the impurities.
Because the Heaven's Mandate Pill was to help the cultivator enter a state of meditation. If there were impurities, it was very easy to cause the cultivator to go berserk. This was also one of the reasons why the Heaven's Mandate Pill was difficult to refine.
When the pills were finished, they had to be removed by a fierce fire.
"Beep!"
A smooth luster flashed on the transparent Pills. Seeing that, Lee Zhuohua immediately withdrew the Fire of the Vermilion Bird.
The mysterious aura quickly returned to the Pills' body.
Just like that, he refined a perfect Heaven's Mandate Pill. There was not a single trace of the medicinal properties leaked out. If one only looked at its appearance, one would only know that it was a Pills.
It was impossible to detect its effects from its aura.
This was Lee Zhuohua's final method. He used the Fire of the Vermilion Bird to set up a layer of isolation on the outer layer of the Pills, isolating all of the medicinal properties and preventing them from being exposed.
There was no violent scene, no shocking aura, and he didn't even use the pill refining process.
When such a Pill was successfully refined, it made everyone speechless. They did not know what kind of Pill it was, and they had never heard of Lee Zhuohua's refining methods.
"It can actually lock down all of the medicinal properties. Is this the effect of the last flame?" Wan Mu said with a frown as he noticed the uniqueness of Lee Zhuohua's Pills.
Chenhua and Qin Nanqin also realized this. In their knowledge, any Pills that were successfully refined must be stored in a special container or else the medicinal properties would quickly fade away.
This was also the first time they had seen Pills like Lee Zhuohua's.
"What did he refine?" As for the other alchemists, they did not know what was special about Lee Zhuohua refining Pills. They were unable to sense the aura of the Pills, and thought that he had casually refined something to fool them.
"You call this a Pills? There is no aura of Pills at all. Don't tell me you prepared it in advance to trick us. "
