Not long ago, Wei Changfeng had restored the supreme alchemical heart method from his previous life—the Great Void Nine Heavens True Yang Heart Sutra—to the second level. Apart from the materials, there were no issues with refining a fourth-grade elixir.
The newly opened path of martial arts was filled with thorns, but treading the path of alchemy again, Wei Changfeng was completely at ease.
As long as he had enough time, he would eventually achieve the position of Elixir God once more, looking down upon all his peers on the Ten Thousand Ancient Continent!
This confidence, which stemmed from his divine soul, even infected the young Miao girl, reducing the disdain and suspicion in her eyes and adding a touch of surprise.
But the middle-aged man still did not believe it, saying with a sneer, "You talk big, do you think we in Water Cloud Miao Village have no one?"
Wei Changfeng smiled faintly and said to him, "You must be a poison master of your village. Your voice meridian is damaged, injured by poison, right? By the sound of it, it's been at least four or five years, hasn't it?"
"How do you know that?"
The middle-aged man was greatly startled, looking as if he had seen a ghost, clearly hit by Wei Changfeng's words.
But he quickly came to his senses, "It must be Yun Yue who told you!"
"Uncle Li, I didn't say anything!"
Yun Yue, hiding at the door, cried out in a wronged tone, "I didn't even know you were here!"
The middle-aged man angrily said, "Then how did he know..."
At this moment, Shuishan Qing spoke up, "Then why don't you give it a try? If you can really refine the Lingzhi Ginseng Detox Pill as you said, we can talk further."
He paused and continued, "This is Yun Li, the poison master of our Water Cloud Village."
Wei Changfeng nodded at him and said, "I need more than ten-year-old Lingzhi ginseng, soul-breaking grass, white atractylodes seeds, and black goji berries, two grams of each will do."
The middle-aged man, suppressing his anger, said, "Then I'll see what you can do. Let's go to my alchemy room!"
Some poison masters also practice alchemy, but the Miao people are skilled in cultivating and harvesting medicinal herbs. Due to the lack of alchemical traditions, there are hardly any high-level alchemists, and many elixirs must be purchased externally.
"No need..."
Wei Changfeng said, "I have my own alchemy tripod, I can refine it here."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized tripod from his bag.
Seeing this exquisite small tripod, the poison master named Yun Li was immediately speechless, his face filled with shock and doubt!
If Wei Changfeng was just boasting, how could he possibly carry such a special alchemy tripod with him?
Yun Li's alchemy skills were ordinary, but his knowledge and experience were not bad.
Shuishan Qing's face showed a hint of a smile, and he said, "Shuoxiao, go and get the herbs the guest needs."
"Okay!"
The young Miao girl responded crisply, got up, and left the room.
As she walked out of the door, she stomped on Yun Yue's foot hard, making him look extremely embarrassed.
Shuishan Qing smiled and personally poured a cup of tea for Wei Changfeng, "Young Master Wei, have a cup of our Water Cloud Village's Water Cloud Tea, you'll surely like it!"
This old fox clearly realized Wei Changfeng's abilities and became much more courteous.
Wei Changfeng didn't stand on ceremony, took a sip, and immediately felt a fragrant taste in his mouth, his spirit refreshed!
"Good tea!"
He couldn't help but praise, "Spring water and the tender leaves of winter mist tea are indeed a perfect match!"
Shuishan Qing was surprised, "I didn't expect Young Master Wei to be a tea connoisseur!"
Wei Changfeng smiled, "Just a little knowledge..."
The atmosphere in the room became much more harmonious, and even the poison master Yun Li no longer wore a stern face, showing more politeness.
But Wei Changfeng believed that if he couldn't refine the Lingzhi Ginseng Detox Pill, or if the effect of the elixir wasn't as good as he said, this poison master would likely be the first to release a heart-devouring poison on him!
Miao poison masters are never benevolent!
Shuoxiao quickly brought back the herbs Wei Changfeng needed, and even brought additional tools like a medicine knife, mortar, and jade bowl for refining and alchemy.
Actually, these tools were mostly unnecessary for Wei Changfeng. He carefully inspected the four medicinal herbs and found that not only were the quantities far more than he needed, but the age of the herbs was also much greater.
The ten-year-old herbs she brought were all over thirty years old!
Wei Changfeng smiled, "These are all good herbs, Miss Shuoxiao is testing me!"
The older the herbs, the harder it is to refine them into elixirs, especially without the aid of earth fire, relying solely on the alchemist's alchemy fire to purify and refine, making it even more difficult!
"Ah?"
Shuoxiao clearly didn't know this and was a bit at a loss when Wei Changfeng said it.
But Yun Li understood. After hesitating, he still said, "Then let Shuoxiao go and get the right ones."
Although he didn't believe Wei Changfeng could really refine the Lingzhi Ginseng Detox Pill, deep down, he still harbored a glimmer of hope for a miracle.
Not being a poison master, one can't understand the pain and despair of poison backlash!
Although there were other ways to deal with the poison in his body, either the cost was too high, or the ability required was too great, neither of which he could afford or achieve.
Under this conflicting state of mind, Yun Li's attitude was naturally contradictory.
But Wei Changfeng didn't care and said, "No need, good herbs have their own benefits!"
He picked up the medicine knife and quickly cut the four herbs into the required quantities. Then, holding the palm-sized tripod in his right hand, he skipped the step of cleaning the tripod and directly injected alchemy energy and alchemy fire!
Until the small tripod glowed with a red flame, he put the herbs into it one by one.
Wei Changfeng's movements were extremely fast, compressing many steps of the alchemy process. The raw materials were immediately refined into a liquid and quickly entered the purification stage.
After all four herbs were added, Wei Changfeng closed the tripod lid and held the tripod with both hands, fully activating the alchemy fire.
The Great Void Nine Heavens True Yang Heart Sutra he cultivated was the supreme alchemical method, producing extremely pure and powerful alchemy fire. The impurities in the medicinal liquid were rapidly refined, and the volume quickly shrank.
A rich medicinal fragrance filled the room.
Shuishan Qing and Shuoxiao were still fine, but Yun Li was dumbfounded!
If he originally had nine-tenths of doubt about Wei Changfeng, now, like the medicinal liquid in the tripod, it had shrunk to three or four-tenths.
Wei Changfeng's process of refining the elixir completely颠覆ed Yun Li's understanding of alchemists, making him feel incredible.
But the living fact before his eyes told him that Wei Changfeng was absolutely not faking it. At least, he could already skillfully use alchemy fire to refine elixirs—this was no longer the ability of an ordinary alchemist!
And what was even more surprising was yet to come.
In less than half a moment, Wei Changfeng completed the most important purification step. Since he was refining only one elixir with the palm-sized tripod, he skipped the step of dividing the elixir.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the tripod lid was pushed up by the alchemy energy.
A snow-white elixir jumped out!
Opening the tripod!
Wei Changfeng, quick as a flash, let go of the tripod with his left hand, picked up the jade bowl, and caught the freshly refined elixir.
The dragon-eye-sized pill rolled in the bowl, capturing everyone's attention!
Was it really refined so quickly?
Whether it was the cunning Shuishan Qing, the innocent Shuoxiao, or the poison master Yun Li who could also refine elixirs, they all found it hard to believe—too fast!
Wei Changfeng saw their expressions and secretly smiled.
In fact, he hadn't fully exerted his strength. Otherwise, the time could have been further reduced, and he had deliberately used less fire during the purification process, leaving some impurities in the elixir.
So the final Lingzhi Ginseng Detox Pill was only of medium quality.
If Shuoxiao had brought ten-year-old herbs, Wei Changfeng would have refined a low-quality elixir. He couldn't bear to waste such good materials, so he settled for a medium-quality one.
If he went all out, refining a top-quality elixir was not impossible!
But that would be too shocking.
Wei Changfeng wanted to let the other party recognize his value and ability, but his performance shouldn't be too extraordinary.
In fact, in Yun Li's eyes, he was already a superhuman existence!
"Please try the elixir..."
Wei Changfeng handed the jade bowl to Yun Li, "To prove that I am not lying!"
Yun Li stared at the Lingzhi Ginseng Detox Pill in the bowl, and after a moment, he reached out to pinch it, his hand trembling slightly.
Seeing the confident look on Wei Changfeng's face, he gritted his teeth and put the elixir in his mouth.
The still warm pill melted in his mouth, a spicy liquid passing through his throat and falling into his stomach.
"Cough, cough!"
Yun Li immediately felt a burning sensation in his throat and couldn't help but cough hard, "Your elixir..."
Before he could finish, Shuoxiao exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Li, your voice..."
Yun Li's voice was originally very hoarse, making it hard to listen to, but now the four words he spoke were deep and resonant, as if he had a new voice.
Yun Li himself was also stunned.
But after a moment, the medicinal power spread throughout his body, making him feel an unbearable itching all over, as if countless insects were trying to drill out of his skin.
Gurgle~
He couldn't resist the urge to scratch, but as soon as he moved, his abdomen let out a thunderous sound!
Yun Li's face turned red!
Wei Changfeng smiled, "This is the sign of detoxification, please take care of it yourself!"
Yun Li hurriedly stood up, ignoring all manners, and rushed out of the room in three steps, as if chased by a tiger or a beast!
The room returned to silence.
Shuishan Qing looked at Wei Changfeng and, after a long time, asked, "You really aren't a descendant of the Jingyun Wei family?"
The old fox's eyes were extremely strange, filled with surprise, shock, curiosity, and admiration...
Wei Changfeng smiled and shook his head, "Really not!"
The mere Jingyun Wei family was nothing but a bunch of earth chickens and tile dogs, what virtue or ability did they have to make him bow and recognize them as kin!
