249: Chapter 215_2 249: Chapter 215_2 Here, there were only a dozen or so people, even if they saw his abilities, he wasn’t afraid of them.
If it had been a display of alchemy at the Medicine Sect, it was possible that more idle spectators would have been present.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that Hua Sheng had once competed with him, he really wouldn’t have wanted to show off his alchemy skills in front of others.
That was then, this is now — he had learned many lessons and had become somewhat wiser, yet he wanted to demonstrate his capabilities in front of a beautiful woman.
Jiang Tang took out his Alchemy Furnace from his space, and to disguise the fact that it was from a Storage Bag, he also summoned the Xuanming Spiritual Fire.
Even before starting to make pills, the people could tell from his Pill Furnace that it was a treasure.
Upon seeing the Xuanming Spiritual Fire, a fire kind with a Fire Spirit, they knew it was no ordinary flame.
Those with a discerning eye definitely recognized it as a treasure.
In the midst of everyone’s astonished gazes, Jiang Tang explained the individual origins of the Alchemy Furnace and the functions of this fire kind, while they inquired.
Jiang Tang told them the Alchemy Furnace was found in a Secret Realm, the Xuanming Spiritual Fire was tamed in another Secret Realm, and he had once trained in the oases of Liusha Sea City.
Some people wanted to kill him for the fire kind, to steal the treasure, and he was beaten into a space, where the fire kind, already contracted with him, also followed him.
Listening to Jiang Tang’s story, the audience seemed intrigued, with a mix of belief and skepticism.
After addressing everyone’s questions, Jiang Tang hurried to start making pills.
In front of others, he wouldn’t make pills as quickly as before; he needed to let people see his technique.
Jiang Tang had promised to showcase his abilities; at this moment, his strength and technique were on display.
Others could learn, but without his talent, they wouldn’t be able to make Supreme Elixirs; a master’s teaching depends on the student’s inherent gifts.
The women from other families had only seen alchemists refining pills and had no such abilities or perhaps interest in learning Alchemy.
At this moment, they were merely appreciators, curious about how a great master would teach his students.
In the entire room, it was only Hua Xian’er from the Medicine Sect who was most interested in alchemy, watching Jiang Tang intently, catching his every move.
Hua Sheng, the elite Medicine Sect disciple, felt that he had already lost to Jiang Tang the moment the latter took out his Alchemy Furnace and released the Spiritual Fire.
His own Pill Furnace could not compare to such a Treasured Furnace.
He could only practice alchemy with his family’s flame kind, and outside, he would just use Spirit Fire Talismans.
Knowing that he was already inferior to Jiang Tang here, after all, the latter had access to better resources.
Moreover, he wasn’t as capable as Jiang Tang, who had strong Spiritual Power and better control over the pill-making process.
The Family Head and Elders of the Medicine Sect, upon seeing Jiang Tang’s Alchemy Treasure Furnace and the fire kind, all coveted to own them.
At this moment, their gaze was fixed on the treasures before them as if they were just about to stretch out their hands and snatch them.
Yet they knew that their combined strength might overpower Jiang Tang, and perhaps they could snatch the items through surrounding him.
But they were aware that such actions would be risky; they could take the items, but others might come after the treasures in their possession.
The most crucial point was that even if they managed to take the treasures, they might not necessarily be able to refine Supreme Elixirs.
It wasn’t for lack of confidence in their own abilities, which they knew well.
In their presence, they could only be considered masters: a single batch of pills might yield one or two high-grade ones, possibly with the rest being of mid or low quality.
This couldn’t compare to the current renowned Supreme Alchemist, Jiang Tang.
They had no confidence in outperforming him.
Trying to snatch the treasures at this moment would only make them lose the opportunity to admire Jiang Tang’s alchemy skills and his trust.
A gentleman has things he will and will not do; the character and morals of someone from the Medicine Sect are very important.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Tang sat cross-legged in front of the Alchemy Furnace, waved his sleeves, and the Xuanming Spiritual Fire beneath the furnace ignited.
He patted his hand, and the lid of the Alchemy Furnace opened.
He put a bit of Spirit Grass from his Storage Bag, but it was just to make others think he was taking something from the Storage Bag; in reality, he had freshly picked the Spirit Grass from the space.
He put various herbs into the Alchemy Furnace in batches, crushing them into powder before he waved his hand again, covering the furnace.
With both hands, he performed several techniques, essential techniques for pill refinement.
Connoisseurs would understand at a glance that these were techniques used in pill refinement and would compare whether their own techniques matched his and learn from his methods.
To others, it was just his hands waving.
They could feel the Spiritual Energy flowing from the outer space into the circles formed by Jiang Tang’s hands.
They saw him forming circle after circle, ultimately funneling these into the Alchemy Furnace.
Such powerful Spiritual Power entering the Alchemy Treasure Furnace made the girls from other families, novices in this practice, somewhat fearful that the furnace might explode, casting a protective glow on themselves, worried that an explosion might injure them.
The Medicine Sect Family Head, already at the Wheel Sea Initial Stage of Cultivation, lacked the confidence to produce such strong techniques, knowing no such Treasured Furnace could withstand such immense Spiritual Power.
The other Elders, less capable than the Family Head, even more so felt outmatched and inadequate.
Hua Sheng and Hua Xian’er watched steadily, memorizing Jiang Tang’s techniques and every step in their minds.
Their eyes didn’t even blink, afraid to miss any part, for every step was critical in the art of Alchemy.
They had already gained experience and insight from learning pill refinement.
For Jiang Tang, every step of pill refinement was like slow motion, teaching others, but to Hua Sheng, Hua Xian’er, even to the Medicine Sect Family Head and the Elders, every step Jiang Tang performed was both steady and fast, faster than any of them.
Seeing the clarity of his techniques only deepened their respect for Jiang Tang.
They had never seen such formidable pill refinement techniques; no wonder he could produce Supreme Elixirs.
In terms of refinement steps and techniques, they felt inferior.
They were glad they hadn’t impulsively grabbed for the treasures and were fortunate to be able to learn.
With such a pill refinement technique, their family would excel in Alchemy.
Having completed all the steps, Jiang Tang closed his eyes to rest, to recover his energy, controlling the Alchemy Furnace with his spiritual power.
He could feel the herbs inside the furnace transform into liquid, then slowly congealing into pills.
This time, his techniques were somewhat slower than before, and the pills inside the furnace also formed more gradually.
As the pills took shape, he used to yield at least over a dozen from a single batch.
To keep such a high success rate hidden, Jiang Tang bore the pain of only producing five Supreme Elixirs.
He was refining the Nourishing Soul Pill, and at the moment of completion, his eyes snapped open, emitting a confident gleam that entranced all the girls present.
Their gaze fixed on Jiang Tang’s handsome face, enchanted by his captivating eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the lid of the Treasured Furnace opened, and five red pills, seemingly alive, flew out from the Alchemy Treasure Furnace.
He then collected these Supreme Elixirs into the jade bottles he had prepared earlier.
The Medicine Sect Family Head and the Elders witnessed the Superior Elixirs, bursting with vigorous Spirit Qi, fly out of the Alchemy Treasure Furnace—pills that sold for high prices in the market.
They felt the urge to seize them, barely restraining themselves.
Hua Xian’er and Hua Sheng now believed even more in Jiang Tang’s ability to refine Supreme Elixirs.
It wasn’t mere boasting; he truly had the skill, and they were thoroughly impressed.
Jiang Tang stored the jade bottles into his Storage Bag, appearing to place them there, but actually, he stored them in the space within his own body.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, but he had thought before not to rely on it.
He feared that if the Deity capable of controlling the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space ever emerged and reclaimed it, everything he had placed inside would fall into someone else’s hands, and his strategy would end up backfiring.
Seeing Jiang Tang’s Alchemy Skill, the Medicine Sect knew they had made the right choice inviting guests, especially considering their decision to present their treasure, Hua Xian’er, to form an advantageous marital alliance with Jiang Tang.
It was undoubtedly a greater benefit for the Medicine Sect and a blessing for Hua Xian’er.
