Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 90 Failure?!
Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Failure?!
Mo Wangchen smiled, then nodded, "The cold attribute of the Jellyfish Flower is indeed lacking, so Elder Ling might need to prepare a few more."
"All right!"
Elder Ling nodded, "Although the Jellyfish Flower is a high-level medicinal herb and extremely valuable, our Alchemist Alliance has been established in Yun Country for many years, so we naturally have quite a stock. How many do you need?"
"Prepare ten first!"
Mo Wangchen pondered for a moment before continuing, "I can’t guarantee that it will definitely succeed, so I’m afraid Elder Ling will have to try his hand at it first. The Returning Ruins Pill is a fifth-grade Pill, something I can’t refine with my current skills. I’ll write down the Alchemy Recipe for you later. When Elder Ling is refining, I’ll be observing from the side. There shouldn’t be any problem."
"Fine!" Hearing his words, Elder Ling nodded again.
Soon, when Elder Ling returned with the Jellyfish Flowers, Mo Wangchen had already written down the Alchemy Recipe. To prevent any accidents, he wrote it in great detail.
Before long, the two entered a secret chamber. Elder Ling brought out the Jellyfish Flowers along with the necessary herbs and said, "Shall we start now?"
Mo Wangchen nodded, "Put the herbs in first, let’s start by using two Jellyfish Flowers."
Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Ling unhesitatingly tossed a set of herbs into the Pill Furnace, then released the Alchemy Fire. Instantly, a faint aroma began to waft out.
"The heat is too high!"
Mo Wangchen sternly said, "The ingredients for the Returning Ruins Pill mostly have a cold attribute. With Elder Ling’s warm Alchemy Fire, the heat can’t be too high, or it will easily cause the furnace to explode!"
Ugh!
At the side, hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Elder Ling was taken aback, somewhat confused. He had been following the detailed instructions on the Alchemy Recipe and didn’t see any mention of the heating, thinking it wouldn’t be a big problem.
"The flames aren’t focused enough, and the temperature of the Pill Furnace isn’t sufficient!"
"Split off a portion of perception and always pay attention to the condition of the Jellyfish Flowers. Don’t let the moisture escape too quickly!"
"Damn it! Why is the Butterfly Grass getting scorched? That’s one of the main ingredients for the Returning Ruins Pill! If this continues, it will severely impact the effectiveness of the Pill after formation!"
"Elder Ling, I’m starting to wonder if you’ve ever even refined pills before?"
As the Alchemy Fire burned within the Pill Furnace, the fragrance in the secret chamber grew more intense. Mo Wangchen, beside Elder Ling, seemed to be educating a novice apprentice, frequently expressing dissatisfaction.
Elder Ling felt incredibly frustrated. As the leading figure in the Alchemy Dao of Yun Country, how could he appear like a disciple in front of you?
However, despite his thoughts, under Mo Wangchen’s guidance, Elder Ling realized the other party’s knowledge in Alchemy was astonishing. Even though Mo Wangchen wasn’t the one refining now, he could point out so many issues just by observing and even helped resolve all the mistakes.
This Returning Ruins Pill, one could say it was Elder Ling doing the refining, but it was more like Mo Wangchen was using his hands to conduct the process! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Boom!
As time went on, the brilliance in Elder Ling’s eyes grew more pronounced. Just as the Returning Ruins Pill was about to take shape, a furnace explosion suddenly occurred.
The furnace before their eyes shattered into fragments, destroying all the herbs within. The secret chamber was filled with thick, acrid smoke.
At this moment, Mo Wangchen and Elder Ling were left standing, their faces blackened by the smoke like little kittens, both dumbfounded.
"What happened? Why did the furnace explode?"
After a moment, Elder Ling asked in confusion, was there a problem with the Alchemy Recipe?
"The cold attribute of the Jellyfish Flower was too low, causing the temperature of the Pill Furnace to be too high during the pill-forming, which it couldn’t withstand, hence the explosion. That almost completed Returning Ruins Pill likely lacked sufficient cold to endure the Alchemy Fire!"
Mo Wangchen frowned, then said after a moment, "Let’s try again!"
"Kid! Are you really sure it isn’t an issue with the Alchemy Recipe?"
Elder Ling was skeptical. While there was no issue with the other herbs, the Jellyfish Flower was one of the highest-grade herbs in the Alchemist Alliance, each worth millions of gold coins. The destruction of just two amounted to nearly ten million gold coins.
If he weren’t the Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance, who could afford to squander such high-level herbs?
Yet still, losing two Jellyfish Flowers was painful to the point of making it hard for Elder Ling to breathe.
He wasn’t concerned about the gold coins but regretted that such high-level herbs were wasted like that!
Mo Wangchen was taken aback and said, "The Alchemy Recipe should be fine..."
"Should?!"
Elder Ling’s eyes widened, nearly losing his temper, as he gritted his teeth and said, "Look at the Alchemy Recipe again thoroughly, is there any mistake at all?"
"I’ve checked the Alchemy Recipe many times, there’s no problem."
Mo Wangchen smiled, continuing, "Trust me, this time increase the number of Jellyfish Flowers, using the same method, it should finalize the pill."
"Increase the number?"
Elder Ling was startled, instinctively asking, "How many more?"
Mo Wangchen pondered briefly, then said, "Put in all the remaining eight."
Hearing this, Elder Ling’s heart trembled, nearly fainting from fright, but finally, he gritted his teeth, "Fine, I’ll trust you this time!"
Soon, Elder Ling found a new Pill Furnace and started refining again. With the previous experience, he no longer needed Mo Wangchen’s constant reminders.
Boom!
However, just as he was about to finalize the pill, another muffled explosion rang out.
When Elder Ling came back to his senses, the sight of the Pill Furnace fragments and the acrid scent filled the air, he almost strangled Mo Wangchen.
But ultimately, he could only smile bitterly in resignation, "Kid, you’ve truly ruined me..."
"One more time, trust me, this time put in a total of ten Jellyfish Flowers, and there won’t be any issues!" Mo Wangchen was silent for a long time, seemingly contemplating something, then spoke.
"Are you sure this is the last time?"
Elder Ling’s voice was noticeably trembling, with the prior two failures, they had already destroyed ten Jellyfish Flowers. Now Mo Wangchen was saying to take out another ten.
If you add these all together, it amounts to nearly a billion gold coins in value. Even though Elder Ling formerly had no concept of gold coins, he understood that a billion gold coins would take years for the Alchemist Alliance to earn in profit...
Nevertheless, Elder Ling was a sixth-grade Alchemist. With the prior two failed experiences, he also realized the Alchemy Recipe itself had no major issues; everything was due to the insufficient cold attribute of the Jellyfish Flowers and the inadequate number used.
So now, he confirmed and clarified with Mo Wangchen exactly how many Jellyfish Flowers need to be used at once to succeed.
Otherwise, even an alliance as wealthy as the Royal Family would incur significant losses!
