BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 84: Refining the Qingming Longevity Pill!

One hour later.

Miteer Auction House, VIP room.

"Chief Tengshan called me here, is it for the matter of the Qingming Longevity Pill?"

In the VIP room, Gu He and Miteer Tengshan sat opposite each other.

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan nodded and said, "Indeed, Lord Alchemist, I have already gathered all the materials required for refining the Qingming Longevity Pill."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu He's eyes, "The Miteer family is indeed the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire. Even Yun Lan Sect would find it difficult to gather all the materials for refining the Qingming Longevity Pill. I didn't expect Chief Tengshan to be able to gather them all in such a short time."

"Lord Alchemist is too kind. How could the Miteer family compare to Yun Lan Sect?" Miteer Tengshan replied humbly, "I was just fortunate. To gather these medicinal ingredients, I also had to pay a significant price."

As he spoke, Miteer Tengshan's face showed a hint of pain. It was clear that the Miteer family had spent a substantial amount to collect these materials.

"Chief Tengshan is being too modest. Since the medicinal ingredients have been gathered, please hand them over," Gu He said calmly.

"Very well."

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan didn't hesitate and immediately presented a storage ring to Gu He.

Accepting the storage ring from Miteer Tengshan, Gu He's consciousness entered it and checked the contents. Then he nodded in approval.

Inside the storage ring were not only the materials for refining the Qingming Longevity Pill but also some main ingredients for the Purple Spirit Pill.

After putting away the storage ring, Gu He stood up and said, "Since the medicinal ingredients have been gathered, and there's still some time, I might as well refine it for you."

Gu He looked at Miteer Tengshan and asked, "Is there a quiet place in the auction house?"

Upon hearing Gu He's words, Miteer Tengshan showed some hesitation, "Lord Alchemist, are you planning to start refining the Qingming Longevity Pill right now?"

In his opinion, Gu He should make some preparations before refining it, especially for a sixth-grade pill like this. If there were any mistakes, all previous efforts would be in vain.

Miteer Tengshan was well aware of the regulations in the alchemy world. If these two sets of materials were both wasted, he would be the one to suffer the most. The Miteer family had spent a considerable amount to gather them.

Seeing Miteer Tengshan's hesitation, Gu He naturally understood what he was thinking. He looked somewhat displeased and said, "If Chief Tengshan lacks confidence in my alchemy skills, you may consider seeking someone else."

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan's heart skipped a beat. Seek someone else? In the entire Jia Ma Empire, he was the only sixth-grade alchemist. Who else could he possibly seek?

Miteer Tengshan felt somewhat speechless, but he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction to Gu He. He quickly explained, "Lord Alchemist, I may have spoken too hastily. Since you are so confident, then please proceed."

"As for a quiet place, our Miteer Auction House has an alchemy room. If Lord Alchemist doesn't mind..."

Before Miteer Tengshan could finish his sentence, Gu He nodded and said, "Then, please lead the way, Chief Tengshan."

Soon, under Miteer Tengshan's guidance, Gu He arrived at the alchemy room inside the Miteer Auction House.

The Miteer family had trained many alchemists, and this alchemy room was prepared for them.

Gu He scanned the alchemy room, where several medicine cauldrons were arranged. They all seemed to be excellent cauldrons, and the quality was not inferior to the one that Liu Ling had given to Little Doctor Immortal.

Internally sighing at the wealth of the Miteer family, Gu He slightly focused his mind and immersed himself in alchemy.

Finding an open space, Gu He flicked his fingers. In the next moment, the massive "Dragon Soul Cauldron" appeared out of thin air, slamming heavily onto the ground, accompanied by a deep dragon roar.

Narrowing his eyes, Gu He recalled the refining method and precautions for the "Qingming Pill." After a while, he opened his eyes abruptly, and purple flames surged in his pitch-black eyes.

"Puff!"

With a subtle sound, a strand of purple flame shot out from Gu He, and with a flick of his finger, the flame turned into a stream of light, swiftly entering the medicine cauldron.

The purple flame instantly turned into a roaring blaze, burning fiercely. Despite the cauldron's insulation, the intense heat still penetrated, gradually raising the temperature in the alchemy room.

Ignoring the rising temperature, Gu He's gaze remained fixed on the cauldron. After a while, he gestured, and a thorny, faintly fragrant fruit fell into his hand.

Glancing at the Qingming Fruit, one of the main ingredients for the Qingming Longevity Pill, Gu He could feel the rich vitality contained within.

With a slight grip on the fruit, Gu He flicked his finger without hesitation, and the fruit shot into the cauldron, enveloped by the vigorous green flame.

Under the high-temperature burning of the primal divine fire, even the toughest medicinal materials would surrender in the shortest time. The Qingming Fruit was no exception. Although it resisted momentarily with the vitality it contained, with a mental command from Gu He, the flame roared, and a milky white liquid slowly overflowed from the fruit.

As the flame gradually evaporated, more and more milky white liquid flowed out, forming a half-palm-sized liquid mass beneath it.

Staring at the cauldron, after about half an hour, Gu He changed his hand seal. The flame in the cauldron gradually subsided, and the Qingming Fruit had completely dissipated. In its place was a mass of vibrant milky white liquid.

Looking at the milky white liquid, Gu He breathed a sigh of relief. With a flick of his fingers, the flame surged. Under the soaring temperature, the palm-sized milky white liquid began to shrink visibly. As it decreased in volume, its color deepened until it resembled a white pearl.

Seeing that the refining of the Qingming Fruit went smoothly, Gu He did not pause. He waved his hand, and another medicinal ingredient flew in, finally thrown into the cauldron.

As time passed, one after another medicinal ingredient was continuously thrown into the cauldron by Gu He. Consequently, various pure medicinal forces started to appear inside the cauldron.

At this moment, Gu He's expression finally became serious. Soul force spread from his forehead, infiltrating the cauld

ron, controlling the changes in temperature and paying attention to the movements of the Qingming Fruit.

Under the high-temperature incineration of the primal divine fire, even the toughest medicinal materials would quickly surrender. The Qingming Fruit, despite briefly blocking the primal divine fire with the vitality it contained, succumbed when Gu He manipulated the flame. A thin white liquid gradually overflowed from the fruit.

As the flame continued to steam, more and more milky white liquid emerged, finally forming a liquid mass beneath it, about half the size of a palm.

With his gaze fixed on the cauldron, after approximately an hour, Gu He changed his hand seal. The flame inside the cauldron gradually calmed down, and the Qingming Fruit had completely dissipated, replaced by a mass of milky white liquid brimming with vitality.

Looking at the milky white liquid, Gu He breathed a sigh of relief. Changing his hand seal again, the flame surged. Under the rising temperature, the palm-sized milky white liquid began to shrink visibly. As it decreased in volume, its color deepened until it resembled a white pearl.

Seeing the refining process go smoothly, Gu He did not pause. He waved his hand, and another medicinal ingredient flew in, finally thrown into the cauldron.

As time passed, one after another medicinal ingredient was continuously thrown into the cauldron by Gu He. Consequently, various pure medicinal forces started to appear inside the cauldron.

At this moment, Gu He's expression finally became serious. Soul force spread from his forehead, infiltrating the cauldron, controlling the changes in temperature and paying attention to the movements of the Qingming Fruit.

After a meticulous refining process that lasted for nearly three hours, all the medicinal ingredients were successfully refined by Gu He in an orderly manner.

As the tedious refining process neared its conclusion, a rough, uneven pill prototype gradually formed inside the cauldron. With the slow roasting of the purple flame, the pill prototype became more rounded, and a strong medicinal fragrance emanated from it.

Carefully maintaining the process, the milky white surface of the pill became increasingly shiny. After about half an hour, the pill trembled suddenly, and a powerful energy ripple appeared out of nowhere, spreading wildly like ripples in water.

"Dong! Dong!"

As the energy ripples spread out, they finally collided with the inner wall of the cauldron, producing a crisp bell-like sound.
