Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 68 - Alchemy Emperor: I Understand Now



Chapter 68: Alchemy Emperor: I Understand Now

During ancient times, the spiritual energy was abundant, and the sky was used as a furnace to forge medicinal pills. The human body was like a medium, and there was an extremely special alchemy method that did not need to rely on external things to refine pills.

Even so, that person was still an extraordinary talent, and his strength was only higher than those of the Ancient Emperors. This was because cultivators needed to be able to communicate with all things in the world, and they had extremely high requirements for cultivation and comprehension.

Therefore, very few people were able to succeed, let alone now. As the spiritual energy gradually dissipated, it was no longer the same as it was in the past. This method of pill refinement was only recorded in ancient books and legends. The number of people who knew about it could be counted on one’s fingers.

However, they never thought that they would actually see it here today!

Hearing someone explain in detail, everyone was once again shocked. It could be said that it was an eye-opener.

“I had always thought that refining pills with bare hands was nothing more than an invention or conjecture of the predecessors. How could it be possible to successfully refine a pill without a pill furnace?”

A powerful alchemist muttered to himself on the spot. His expression was extremely complicated.

“According to the records, this method is extremely difficult. Can he succeed at such a young age? He’s not trying to fool everyone, right?”

The others subconsciously held their breaths and stared at Gu Xi without blinking, afraid that they would miss out on some wonderful scene.

Gu Xi waved his hands. It seemed to be a simple movement, but it carried a faint Dao rhythm. Black and white gas slowly rose from the left and right sides, as if yin and yang were entrenched in the air, forming a huge tai chi eight trigrams pattern.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene. They saw countless divine lights shining brightly, forming all sorts of strange phenomena that filled the surroundings. Gu Xi was expressionless, appearing even more unfathomable.

As Lu Haoxuan focused his attention on the scene, he was a little confused. “Strange…”

“His pill refining method is indeed powerful. He can feel the medicinal essence within, but why isn’t there any life aura coming from him?”

Logically speaking, at this point, the pill was constantly being extracted and purified, so one should be able to feel the rich life essence. However, there was not the slightest bit of it when it came to Gu Xi. It gave people the feeling that it was just an empty shell.

As expected of an Alchemy Emperor, Lu Haoxuan quickly discovered the problem with Gu Xi.

After all, Gu Xi was a halfway house monk, and it was all thanks to the System. If he were to seriously refine pills, how would he be able to do it? However, it would not be a problem for him to play a few tricks to fool people, but over time, he would definitely be discovered by others.

The people present were not fools. They were all quite skilled in pill refinement. They could deceive for a while, but they would not be able to deceive for the rest of their lives.

“I think it’s a little strange. Although I’ve never seen what it’s like to refine pills with your bare hands, there are almost no people in this world who can do it. Even Alchemy Emperor Lu is the same, let alone this kid. Could it be that he’s even more powerful than Alchemy Emperor Lu?”

“Something is not right. Alchemy can not be refined out of the furnace. Could it be that this kid has stolen some secret technique?”

Strange voices gradually sounded, and they were not optimistic about Gu Xi. They all thought that Gu Xi was deliberately mystifying the entire matter. After all, bare-handed alchemy has only been a legend, or only recorded in the classics.

[45,648 impurities detected in the nameless pill. Do you wish to extract them?]

The system notification suddenly sounded in his mind. Gu Xi had been waiting for a long time.

“Yes!”

He had spent some time creating a drama, and there was no benefit for him to continue.

Just as the voices of criticism became louder and louder, the faint smell of medicinal herbs wafted out.

The originally clear sky suddenly became extremely dark. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, and everyone looked over when they heard the sound.

In the middle of Gu Xi’s palm, a white medicinal pill slowly revealed its figure. It was extremely round, as if it did not have any impurities. Light golden patterns encircled it one after another, as if it was filled with the supreme mystery of the Dao of alchemy.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, lingering above Gu Xi’s head. Within the thick layer of clouds, the faint figure of a golden dragon could be seen shuttling back and forth. It was almost identical to the patterns on the medicinal pill. It was as if the Buddha was the external incarnation of the medicinal pill.

The medicinal fragrance assailed everyone’s nostrils, causing their spirits to tremble.

“This, this is…”

Everyone was so excited that they could not speak. Lu Haoxuan could not maintain his composure from before and suddenly walked out from within. “Flawless medicinal pill!”

They had actually witnessed the birth of a Flawless pill with their own eyes! This was an extremely shocking and exciting event for all alchemists.

Even if they were to die now, they would probably die with no regrets. That kind of feeling could not be described with words.

“I actually saw how the Flawless pill was refined with my own eyes…”

However, after the excitement, everyone’s emotions were extremely complicated.

Refining pills with their bare hands, they probably would not be able to reach such a realm in their entire lives.

Compared to the others, Lu Haoxuan’s feelings were even deeper. Huge waves surged in his heart, and the image of Gu Xi waving his hand continuously appeared in his mind. It was as if it was effortless, and the Flawless pill was created.

What kind of ability and talent was this? It was enough to crush everyone at the scene under his feet. It was as if they could only look up at his back, and they would not even have the courage to chase after him.

It was this kind of hand that easily crushed his faith. Such a scene was engraved in Lu Haoxuan’s mind, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

“I used to think that in order to refine a Flawless pill, whether it was the pill furnace or the medicinal ingredients, as well as the environment and temperature, there were strict requirements. But now it seems that…”

Lu Haoxuan suddenly laughed out loud. His appearance was extremely deranged. Even the people around him were a little afraid when they saw him. They cautiously asked, “Alchemy Emperor Lu, what’s wrong with you?”

“So it’s because I’m too rigid about external things, but I’ve neglected my inner cultivation. Refining the pill is not the same as refining the heart!”

Lu Haoxuan threw his head back and let out a long howl. His hair was scattered in all directions, and even his crown had been shattered. He personally stepped down from the stage and bowed deeply to Gu Xi. His voice was like a loud bell as he said, “I understand now!”
