Too Many Problems
“I’m not changing the topic, but there are too many problems. I will talk to Yao Qiankun in private.” He Chuan shook his head and told the truth.
Talk in private?
Yao Qiankun, who was originally full of confidence, could not help but clench his right hand that was holding the Star Stabilizing Pill tightly. There were too many problems. Did he mean he didn’t pass the test?
Yao Wenhao’s expression darkened.
“Xuan’er’s alchemy skills were personally taught by him. The steps of alchemy just now were completely according to the requirements.”
“There were no problems with every step, and the medicinal pills refined could also be said to be of high quality.”
“I don’t know what ‘too many problems’ means?”
“Please teach me well, and let me learn!” Although Yao Wenhao spoke politely, the displeasure in his words was apparent.
He was, after all, a top-grade Pill Master. If he claimed to be second in terms of alchemy skills, no one in the empire would dare to claim to be first.
When Yao Qiankun was refining the Star Pill, he did not miss even the smallest detail. He thought that it was perfect.
Even if he were to take action personally, it would at most be like this.
However, in He Chuan’s words, there were too many problems.
Not only was he looking down on his son, but he was also slapping him in the face!
Ever since he took over the position of the Eight Treasures Pavilion’s head, no one had ever dared to boast so shamelessly in front of him!
“Since it’s a test, I should be mentally prepared for success or failure. If I can’t even accept criticism, I’m not worthy of being a Pill Master.” Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Yao Qiankun bowed respectfully to He Chuan.
He Chuan sat down again.
“As a Pill Master, one should know that before any medicinal ingredients were refined, they had to be sorted out, washed, and tempered to remove the impurities before they could be smelted into the pill furnace.”
“Otherwise, if the impurities seeped in, it was very likely that the pill refinement would fail.”
“However, the main ingredient used in this pill refinement was the Blood Heart
Orchid.”
“The Blood Heart Orchid grew in damp swamps and bore fruit in the desert.” “This caused it to contain the scorching sun’s power, but also the cold air.”
“The Blood Heart Orchid’s uniqueness was that it contained Yin and Yang, and when used in medicine, it could adjust one’s essence according to the human body’s needs.”
“If it were tempered before entering the furnace, the scorching Pill Fire would definitely disperse the cold air, greatly reducing the medicinal effects of the
Blood Heart Orchid.”
“Therefore, the Blood Heart Orchid could only be cleansed and not tempered.” “Secondly, there was also a problem with the use of the Pill Fire.”
“Orange Grade Pill Fire was indeed able to yield twice the result with half the effort when refining pills.”
“However, before the pill was completely condensed, it had to be boiled over a small fire to allow the various medicinal effects to fuse together.” “This was a slow process, and he couldn’t rush it.”
“Just now, he had continuously activated the Pill Fire to heat up the pill furnace.
“Not only was it a waste of spiritual energy, but under the activation of the fire, it would also cause many medicinal effects to be mixed together before they could be decomposed and fused.”
“However, the medicinal effects were reduced by at least eighty to ninety percent. ”
He Chuan was like a flood that had opened the floodgates as he spoke incessantly.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded!
Yao Wenhao had originally been disapproving of He Chuan’s comments, but as he continued to point out the problems and explain, he gradually changed his opinion.
His expression changed from disdain to shock and disbelief!
The problems that He Chuan pointed out seemed to be the end of the branch, so he naturally ignored them.
However, after He Chuan’s explanation and thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was all about the root and determined the final medicinal effect.
Pill refinement was definitely not as simple as combining several or even dozens of medicinal ingredients and condensing them into a pill.
Instead, he wanted to fuse the various medicinal ingredients that originally had different medicinal effects with each other to produce stronger and greater medicinal effects.
Not only did it require the Pill Master to be familiar with the medicinal ingredients, but it also required him to know them like the back of his hand.
Furthermore, it required the Pill Master to carefully consider every step in the pill refinement process, handle it just right, and control it to the finest detail.
Only in this way could the medicinal effects of the medicinal herbs be maximized.
The pill had reached the highest level and had the best effect!
“That’s all for now!” He Chuan stopped.
Yao Jiaquan and Yao Jiajin were dumbfounded as they stared at He Chuan, their hearts filled with shock.
They didn’t understand many of the problems He Chuan raised with their alchemy attainments.
They even felt lost.
However, a strange feeling in their hearts made them freeze on the spot and speechless.
“I’m so hungry!” Ren Xiaomeng pouted and complained pitifully.
“I told you to go eat first, but you didn’t listen. Look at how hungry Xiaomeng is. Let’s go!” He Chuan rubbed Ren Xiaomeng’s little head and said dotingly. Ren Xiaomeng immediately cheered.
“Who can prove that you weren’t just talking on paper?” Yao Jiaquan regained his senses and suppressed the shock in his heart as he questioned.
“There’s no evidence. Who knows if what you said is true or false?” Yao Jiajin quickly agreed.
Yao Jiaxuan had also recovered from his shock. His eyes were filled with bitterness and helplessness as he looked at his father, Yao Wenhao.
He promised to invite He Chuan.
He had always believed He Chuan’s alchemy attainments would definitely be able to conquer his father and two brothers.
He did not expect that during the process of commenting, He Chuan would utter some obscure problems, which made him secretly worried.
Even he found it hard to understand, let alone his two brothers.
If his father still couldn’t understand, He Chuan’s image as a master would probably be completely destroyed.
Yao Jiaxuan placed all his hopes on his father, praying in his heart that his father would understand and acknowledge his words.
Otherwise, his furious father would definitely teach He Chuan a lesson.
Even he would not be able to escape punishment.
His father was the head of the Eight Treasures Pavilion. How noble was his status?
But now, he was being judged by the young man, deceived, and bullied. He definitely wouldn’t let it go!
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare lunch.” Yao Wenhao suddenly berated Yao Jiaxuan.
“Get the best chef in Lingyun Pavilion to prepare the best food and serve Master He well!”
Hearing this, Yao Jiaxuan was stunned.
Yao Jiaquan and Yao Jiajin were completely dumbfounded.
Treat Master He well?
What the hell!
“Master He’s pill refinement skills are astonishing, your words enlightened this old man. I’m extremely impressed!” Yao Wenhao directly came in front of He Chuan and respectfully cupped his hands.
“I didn’t fully understand the question just now. I hope Master He won’t be stingy with your guidance!” Before he finished speaking, Yao Wenhao bowed respectfully to He Chuan.
Not only did their father call He Chuan Master, but they also had to treat him well.
And he even bowed humbly to ask questions?
Could it be that what He Chuan saidjust now was true?
Yao Jiaxuan instantly regained his senses. The bitterness and helplessness in his eyes were swept away, replaced by a look of ecstasy.
Although he was shocked by his father’s actions, his respectful attitude was enough to show that his father not only understood He Chuan’s words just now but also admitted that He Chuan was right.
Those words even enlightened his father and made him completely convinced!
The problem was solved!
“Hurry up and prepare lunch! If you starve Master He, he will skin you alive!” Straightening his body, Yao Wenhao looked at Yao Jiaxuan, who was still standing in a daze and berated him.
Yao Jiaxuan hurriedly ran outside, but he was ecstatic.
Although looking at the situation just now, He Chuan was most likely dissatisfied with his test.
It was very likely that he did not pass.
However, if this matter was successful, it meant his father could be saved, and the Yao family could be saved!
It was worth it as long as he could help his father and save his family from the fire and water!
