Lin Xiao was indeed going to produce the Most Refined Royal Pellets, but they would be an upgraded version with a slew of extra medicinal materials and spiritual herbs added.
Lin Xiao had already put seventy-two medical materials and thirty-six main ones into the furnace in accordance with the corresponding dosages. The fire crystal stones beneath the furnace were blazing in various forms under the control of Lin Xiao's performance of mudras. Wu Gui and Wang Di marveled at the spectacle with admiration.
They went thunderstruck and hypnotized by Lin Xiao's performance.
Aware of their reaction, Lin Xiao was so tied up that he took no notice of them. He had never tried adding extra medicinal materials and spiritual herbs on the basis of the original prescription of the Most Refined Royal Pellets. That might lead to the mutation of the function a bit. However, Lin Xiao only knew that in theory rather than practice.
All creatures in the world mutually reinforce and neutralize each other. The proportions of one hundred and eight medicinal materials had gone through numberless try-pouts by ancestors, hence it would be no easy task for Lin Xiao to add extra materials to them.
Each addition would be made on condition that the alchemist was aware of what reactions might occur. Hence the odds were extremely low for the addition process to end up successful. And Lin Xiao would have to add more than one material, which multiplied the difficulty.
Chinyan the Great Master would definitely burst into a harsh dressing down if he had caught the glimpse of what Lin Xiao was doing now. Because the elixir production would by no means come to fruition once extra medicinal materials were added.
However, ever since Lin Xiao made the first attempt to add medicinal materials, he had never had the furnace explode.
Chiyan deemed it impossible to succeed in doing so. If he had witnessed the marvelous techniques, he would have felt tempted to crack open Lin Xiao's head and see what was the difference between Lin and average alchemists.
Albeit embarrassingly deficient in his endowments for alchemy, Chiyan was rather good at foretelling the result of an alchemical process. It was fair to say he was an out-and-out theorist in this regard.
Of course, Chiyan the Great Master was totally in dark about Lin Xiao's work now. There were only Lin Xiao himself and the two astonished assistants.
It was a super tough task to add extra medicinal materials into the preexisting ones called for the production of the Most Refined Royal Pellets. Hence Lin Xiao had to stay concentrated on it, extremely exhausted.
Nevertheless, the fire crystal stones in the Furnace Hall kept floating at a low altitude. Even now, Lin Xiao retained his ability to keep everything under control.
It was unknown when Wu Gui and Wang Di came back to their senses. But it was conceivable, as they couldn't come to terms with Lin Xiao's spectacular expertise.
It humiliated them to the full that Lin Xiao, their junior, was much superior to them with unimaginably remarkable techniques. Crimsoning, both went dedicated to the practice of the Fire Control Mudras forthwith.
At the moment, the only moving stuff in the Furnace Hall were the fire crystal stones.
Two hours later, the floating fire crystal stones were all summoned up by Lin Xiao and revolved around the furnace.
The refinement of the Most Refined Royal Pellets had come to the pivotal moment.
Lin Xiao changed the formation of his mudras constantly. With a distant tap, the Furnace shook, giving off a puff of unusual scent.
As a muffled sound went off, Lin Xiao ended the refinement process. He beamed radiantly, all covered with sweat.
Then Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, where a couple of pellets fell in.
The Most Refined Royal Pellets materialized!
"Take them!" Lin Xiao said and cast the pellets backward. He went on with the refinement nonstop.
Lin Xiao's random cast was nerve-inducing to Wu Gui and Wang Di － the parabolic motion of the pellets was so weird that no one could catch them in a regular manner.
Even a cast like this was affected by Lin Xiao's Fire Control Mudras.
Wu Gui and Wang Di made simultaneous moves and mobilized the mudras as well. While retreating, then kept performing the mudras and eventually caught the pellets with all techniques used.
Both were covered with sweat the moment they got hold of the pellets.
After sharing a mutual glance, both identified embarrassment in each other's eyes.
It was indeed terribly embarrassing that they had to make exertions in order to capture the pellets cast by Lin Xiao in a random manner.
They soon put away the pellets and proceeded with their mudras practice.
Right then, Lin Xiao's elixir refinement reached another milestone.
This time, what he produced were no longer the Most Refined Royal Pellets but another one. This one, with fewer medicinal materials needed, came out easily.
