Upon landing,

the sound of an explosion could be heard from inside once again.

Just after touching ground,

Fang Yu once again sent the Pill Furnace flying up.

Jiang Shanshui couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The Pill Furnace flipped up and down, reaching the top of the courtyard, a full several zhang in height.

"What kind of alchemy technique is this? I've never seen such a method before!" said Jiang Shanshui.

During the conversation,

the Pill Furnace fell back down.

Boom!

The ground had already been smashed into a deep pit by the Pill Furnace.

The surrounding area was also unbearably hot.

However...

There were still no extraordinary celestial phenomena, not even any clouds.

Just as always, the breeze was light and the sky clear.

After the Pill Furnace had landed,

Fang Yu began to speak: "This move is called 'Cloud Flipping Hand'... It's the most important technique in alchemy for adjusting the heat of the fire. The intensity of the fire will increase with the Inner Essence, but it's difficult to control precisely... Hence, most alchemists will learn the Cloud Flipping Hand. Let me give you an example..."

He said to a nearby disciple: "Fetch some eggs."

"Yes!"

Before long,

a basket of eggs was brought over.

Fang Yu picked up an egg and said with a smile, "Like this egg... if fried with a normal fire... it's easy to burn."

He tossed the egg into the flames beneath the Pill Furnace, crack, and the egg white flowed out, turning black in an instant.

Following that,

Fang Yu picked up another egg and said, "Now watch this..."

He flipped his palm.

"Cloud Flipping Hand!"

Crack, the egg landed in his palm.

Immediately, the egg was cooked.

This time, it wasn't burnt.

"I'm controlling the heat in my palm... it hasn't moved... this way, the egg is cooked, but not evenly!"

He tossed the egg forward.

Jiang Shanshui caught it and saw the middle part was still a bit liquid, not fully cooked. The edges were cooked, though.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Now watch this one..."

He picked up another egg, crack.

The same Cloud Flipping Hand technique.

The blue flames rose.

His palm lifted, and the egg spun in the air.

Just like the Furnace Tripod before, circling several times.

Then Fang Yu stopped his palm.

Everyone looked closely.

The egg was golden and shiny, evenly colored, glistening as if it was emitting light, leaving people speechless.

"This is the essence of the Cloud Flipping Hand," Fang Yu said calmly.

Xu Sisi couldn't help but clap in amazement, saying, "Master is truly a genius!"

Jiang Shanshui watched with his mouth agape, taking a long time to recover before looking at the golden shimmering egg on the hand, and said with joined fists, "Such a wonderful technique truly broadens my horizons... I never imagined that alchemy could involve the knowledge of cooking."

"You're right, sometimes alchemy is like cooking, the heat and timing must be matched perfectly," said Fang Yu.

Jiang Shanshui pointed towards the Pill Furnace and asked, "Since it's already Fourth Grade Elixir Pills, why do you continue to refine?"

Just as Fang Yu was about to explain,

rumble rumble!

A loud explosion came from the Pill Furnace.

Startling everyone.

Because the sound was simply too loud.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes towards the Pill Furnace.

Fang Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's about right now."

Hearing this,

Jiang Shanshui asked with confusion, "It's good now?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you supposed to be making Ninth Grade Elixir Pills?"

"Yes, I am refining Ninth Grade Elixir Pills... but the modern Chinese herbal medicines are not pure enough and their effects aren't as good. The success rate is not high... Thus, I have refined those herbs with poor effects into other lower-grade pills."

Jiang Shanshui chuckled and said, "Oh, couldn't refine Ninth Grade pills, huh? Hehe, it's good for young people to face reality."

"No. Those herbs with good effects continue to be refined into Ninth Grade Elixir Pills."

Jiang Shanshui was startled and said:

"Are you saying that you concocted two types of Elixir Pills in this Pill Furnace at the same time?"

"Exactly."

"This... How is that possible?"

If Fang Yu was boasting before, what he was saying now was challenging Jiang Shanshui's views and common sense.

This was as impossible as making two different dishes in the same pot; even if somehow it could be done, their flavors would blend!

"There's nothing impossible about it! Why not open it and take a look?"

Fang Yu slowly turned around.

His gaze landed on the Pill Furnace.

Jiang Shanshui's eyes widened.

Elixir Pills that didn't show any strange phenomena except for a few muffled explosions, could they be Ninth Grade?

He could hardly believe it.

And right at this moment—

Fang Yu slapped with his palm.

The lid flipped off.

Clang, it fell to the ground.

White mist billowed.

Fragrance wafted through the air.

Refreshing and heartwarming.

"The smell of the pills is so fragrant."

"It's almost like the delightful scent of food from the Human World; if I hadn't witnessed so many herbs going into the Pill Furnace with my own eyes, I might have believed it was the aroma of meals."

Xu Sisi exclaimed in admiration.

After a good while.

The white vapor gradually dissipated.

The flames also died down.

Everything returned to quiet.

"Everyone, come over and take a look!"

The surrounding people came up one after another.

Inside the Pill Furnace, lay one pill after another, quietly.

Arranged in a circular formation.

In the center were about ten colorful circular Elixir Pills.

Around them were some irregularly shaped monochrome pills, as many as forty or fifty.

"This is..."

Jiang Shanshui swallowed, realizing that he did not recognize them!

Fang Yu said: "These colorful pills here are the Purple Light Breaking Wall Pills... If you look carefully at their tops, can you see a faint halo? This signifies that Purple Qi Comes from the East! It's a very auspicious omen. The Spiritual Wisdom has been awakened."

Jiang Shanshui was stunned on the spot, his face a picture of shock.

His whole body started to tremble.

Fang Yu continued:

"The other herbs around are some lower grade Life-extending Pills... Three are Sixth Grade, and the rest are all Fifth Grade. Ah… although the Fifth Grade pill is a bit trashy, it would be wasteful to throw them away."

Jiang Shanshui: "..."

As he was stunned.

Fang Yu picked up those colorful pills.

Following that—

Rumble, rumble!

Thunder roared from the sky.

Magical phenomena.

Picking up another pill, there was another burst of thunder.

"Dan Thunder! It's Dan Thunder!"

"How is this possible?"

Every time Fang Yu picked up a pill, a peel of Dan Thunder followed.

When it came to the sixth pill, there started to be a slight tremor. Like an earthquake.

The seventh, eighth, ninth...

All the way to the tenth.

In the air around, ripples appeared, shattering like glass.

"It's roughly the same as the force I calculated... just right, these five Arrays have blocked most of the magical phenomena..."

"Array... Array?"

"Yes, as a Second Grade Alchemist, don't you know that using an isolation Array can block the destructive force brought by the magical phenomena and Dan Thunder?" Fang Yu said with a smile.

"..."

Jiang Shanshui suddenly felt his brain go blank.

Inside his heart, a storm surged.
