C17 Ling Family's Crisis Alchemy Genius

It was already late at night when Ling Tianyu returned home. Ling Feiyang was no longer in his room.

Upon recalling pill forging, Ling Tianyu was naturally excited. He hurriedly closed the door and started to choose the ingredients to forge a pill.

According to the records of the Primordius Pill Formula, the most important thing in refining pills was the control of one's mental energy over the Pill Fire, followed by the selection of the ingredients.

After spending nearly an hour, Ling Tianyu had sorted all of the ingredients. After counting them carefully, he found that there were forty sets of ingredients, thirty of which were for the Blood Replenishing Pill and ten for the Qi Returning Pill.

After selecting the ingredients, he would naturally start the concocting of pills.

Following the ratio of the pill formula, Ling Tianyu carefully placed a portion of the ingredients for the Blood Replenishing Pill into the pill furnace.

Then, he started a fire. This fire was the fire of zhenqi, something that even a warrior could do. However, without strong mental control, it was impossible to refine pills even if the temperature of the fire was insufficient.

Boom …

Lighting the fire, Ling Tianyu started to forge the pill with rapt attention. Following the instructions in the book, he started to observe every single movement within the cauldron.

It was normal for a cauldron of pills to take two hours, but not even an hour had passed since Ling Tianyu started forging, and the fragrance of medicine wafted into the air from the cauldron.

According to the records, this was the tempo of a pill forming process.

"Eh? So refining pills is that simple?" Is the time required also so short? "

Ling Tianyu was astonished, but at the same time, he was also delighted. If he were to successfully forge the pill, wouldn't he be a genius in pill forging?

Unfortunately, just as he finished thinking, black smoke came out from the pill furnace and an unpleasant burnt smell wafted out.

"Damn, I failed!"

Ling Tianyu cursed in his heart as he hurriedly opened the furnace. Other than the pitch-black dregs of the medicinal herbs, there was nothing else in the furnace.

"What's going on? Where is it wrong? "It's clear that everything in the furnace is exactly the same as what is written in the books. As expected, pill refining is not something that can be done so easily."

Even though he failed once, it didn't dampen Ling Tianyu's enthusiasm for pill forging. He took out the herb dregs from the cauldron and added another set of ingredients into the cauldron.

He knew that failure was the mother of success. Without his master's guidance, he could only figure out a way to succeed after repeated experiments.

Unsurprisingly, the second time, the third time … They all failed!

However, the more failures he failed, the more hope Ling Tianyu saw in him. This was because his pill forging technique had improved, to the point where three pills had taken shape. Even though it was still a failure, it had improved significantly.

He failed again and again, experimenting again and again.

For the past three days, Ling Tianyu had never stepped out of his courtyard.

Ling Feiyang also did not come, because the Ling Family was already in a crisis.

"Second Brother, I went to investigate and found that it was the Yang Family who hired a Grade One Alchemist Master named Gu Yun. Those mid-tier medicinal pills were all created by him!"

In the Ling family's meeting hall, all of the core members were seated.

This was because two days ago, there was a news that came from the Yang family, that their market was selling cheap Grade 1 Blood Recovery Pills and Qi Returning Pills, and each pill was only priced at 100 gold coins.

The effect of a mid-tier pill was not just slightly better than a low-tier pill. It was worth the same price as low-tier pills, but the effect of the pill was several times stronger. Naturally, it attracted many martial artists to go there.

It had only been two days, but almost all the warriors in the Cloudburst City had been attracted by the Yang Family marketplace, but the Ling Family was deserted.

As the Ling Family, which mainly focused on elixirs, this was just a huge blow. Thus, Ling Feiyang would head out to investigate while the others would make the appropriate preparations.

However, a Tier 1 Pill Master was a huge existence in the Chu Yun City, the Ling family had no way to deal with it.

"Gu Yun?" They were unfamiliar with this name.

"The Yang family is truly powerful, to be able to hire a master alchemist!" Someone commented.

"As far as I know, this Gu Yun came from Everlasting City and was invited by Song Guang. However, the Song Family does not deal with pills, so they used the Yang Family to attack my Ling Family."

Ling Feiyang continued speaking.

"Song Guang? This guy really holds a grudge. Isn't it just that Tianyu let go of that Song Wushuang? " An elder said.

"Hmph, it would be great if it was really that simple. The Song Family is ambitious and only wants to annex three families, we are only his first plan. If our Ling family falls, the Yang family will be the second family to be annexed by the Song family."

Ling Zhengnan analyzed.

"Hiss …"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall sucked in a breath of cold air.

No one had expected the Song Family to be so ambitious.

"Moreover, even if our Ling Family wins this time, the Song Family will take this opportunity to annex the Yang Family. When the two families merge into one, it will be easy to destroy our Ling Family!"

Ling Zhengnan continued analyzing, making everyone feel a sense of urgency.

However, the Yang family had Gu Yun, a Tier 1 alchemist master. If the Ling family wanted to win, the chances were slim.

"Then what should we do now? With the current situation of the Ling Family, we can at most maintain ourselves for a month. "

"One month!" Ling Zhengnan muttered to himself, "This is truly a death match. If I want to survive, I'll have to go all out. Kill!"

"Kill? Send people to assassinate Gu Yun? "

Everyone understood.

Ling Feiyang was silent for a moment, then said: "Old Second, this Gu Yun also has a background. He is the disciple of the second rank alchemist master of Everlasting City, Xiao He."

What? Xiao He's disciple?

When everyone heard this, they were startled and almost jumped out of their skin.

Although Gu Yun and the rest didn't know each other, Xiao He's reputation was like thunder in the ears. Apart from the Medicine King Manor, Xiao Yun was one of the few Tier 2 alchemist grandmasters.

He was also the only alchemist other than the Medicine King Manor who could refine cultivation pills, the Snow Spirit Pill.

It would be alright if Gu Yun was just an ordinary person, but if he was Xiao He's disciple, things would be difficult.

Everyone knew that offending a Tier 2 Pill Master would mean certain death. As long as he moved his mouth, countless cultivators would serve him.

"Bastard, this Song Guang is truly resourceful. He actually managed to invite Master Xiao He's disciple."

Ling Zhengnan pondered for a while before standing up and asked, "Then, what is Gu Yun's hobby?"

Since he couldn't kill them, he could only try and win them over. He believed that the reason Gu Yun was able to come to the Chu Yun City was because the Song and Yang Family had promised him many benefits.

As long as the Ling Family could win Gu Yun over at the same price or with a higher reward, they might be able to solve this crisis.

"Ugh …" Gu Yun was extremely lustful. As soon as he arrived at the Yang Family, Yang Zhen prepared six beauties to sleep for him. That guy is really strong. On the second day, he could even open the furnace to refine pills. "

Ling Feiyang continued speaking.

"Lecherous? "Pill forging requires an incredible amount of mental energy. This fellow is truly extraordinary!"

A scornful voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

However, Ling Zhengnan frowned. If he was greedy for money, he could give it a try. However, in terms of beauties, would the Ling and Song families lack them?

"Sigh, the heavens are really going to destroy my Ling family. Let's disperse. Let me think about it carefully!"

Ling Zhengnan helplessly sighed and waved his hand to dismiss everyone …
