A flicker of confusion flashed across Han Yi’s eyes as he voiced his doubt.

Gu Tongxuan explained, “Daoist Han may not know this, but this pill formula was purchased from the outside by my grandfather. Even the raw materials were bought together. At the time of acquisition, some of them were merely labelled with serial numbers, and it was unclear which types of medicinal ingredients they were.”

“However, there is no doubt that this pill is indeed required by the Gu family.”

Han Yi’s confusion did not ease. Gu Tongxuan’s explanation seemed far-fetched.

However, this might involve the Gu family’s secret, and Han Yi had no intention to inquire. He only needed to focus on the alchemy.

Setting aside his doubts, Han Yi studied the pill formula in great detail, going over it thrice. After estimating in his mind, Han Yi finally figured out the finer details of the alchemy process. 𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝓿𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝓸𝓶

The method of crafting required by the pill formula was quite special.

It was a compound pill.

A compound pill is one that requires two or more different kinds of spiritual pills taken simultaneously to exert its effect.

According to the pill formula, it requires the crafting of both Yin Pill and Yang Pill. Only by consuming the Yin Pill and Yang Pill simultaneously can the effect of this kind of medicine be achieved.

Before this, Han Yi had indeed seen the crafting method for compound pills but had never attempted it himself. However, by calculating based on the methods provided in the pill formula and considering his level of alchemy skill, it should not be difficult.

“The crafting of this pill isn’t difficult, but I can’t guarantee that it would be successful at the first attempt. If it failed, it wouldn’t be surprising. Matter Lord Gu needs to consider this thoroughly.”

Han Yi didn’t want to claim much. The risks that should be explained still needed to be addressed.

Gu Tongxuan didn’t hesitate and expressed great joy. Judging from Han Yi’s expression just now, he must be very confident. To successfully craft this medicine, even if it failed repeatedly, he was willing to accept it.

“Good. Daoist Han, as a high-ranking disciple of Xuandan Sect, deserves our respect. I’m in your hands now.”

With a frown, Han Yi felt Gu Tongxuan’s attitude was a bit too brisk.

After thinking about it, he asked how many servings of this pill formula ingredients the Gu family possessed. Gu Tongxuan replied that there were ten servings.

Han Yi then added a condition, “Matter Gu, in this way, if I fail to refine it five times, then our transaction is halted, and I admit that 1 failed. How about that?”

“For the remaining five portions of materials, you can find someone else or reissue the task in Xuandan Sect.”

This was a threshold set by him to prevent a dispute between both parties. Although he was not afraid of a dispute, it was overall a waste of time.

This time, Gu Tongxuan did not hesitate at all and agreed generously, “Alright, as per Daoist Han.”

Han Yi felt this was indeed his personality and did not ponder further. f(r)eenovelkiss

Next, Gu Tongxuan arranged for Han Yi to stay in a separate courtyard in the Gu Family’s back yard. He ensured that Han Yi would not be disturbed and could concentrate on his alchemy.

Meanwhile, he sent the materials needed to refine this compound pill to the courtyard.

Han Yi didn’t immediately start refining the pill. Instead, he spent a day adjusting his condition. The next day, after laying out a simple defense formation in the courtyard and letting Gu Tongxuan know that without his permission, no one was allowed to disturb him, he began refining the pill.

An octahedron golden pill furnace was taken out from his storage bag and placed in the center of the room.

Next were the regular preparations for alchemy: activating the Spirit Coal, preparing the Spirit Sand and Spirit Stone, and tuning the Dan Fire, etc.

Having completed the preparation steps, Han Yi then reached for the raw materials for refining the pill.

The process required Yin and Yang Pills. First, Han Yi started refining the Yang Pill. The main ingredient for Yang Pill was a spirit plant known as Fiery Soul Grass. There were dozens of auxiliary ingredients. Only one was identified with a symbol: a vial of black liquid.

Han Yi opening the vial and poured the liquid into the pill furnace, wrapping it with his spiritual force. Strange as it was, he seemed to hear a baby’s scream. His hand slightly shook, almost spilling the liquid.

However, upon closer listening, there were not any anomalies.

Given his current realm and mental state, hallucinations were impossible.

Therefore, the issue must lie with the symbol-labelled black liquid.

This thing was a bit tricky.

Han Yi felt a slight chill in his heart, but he continued with the refining process.

A moment later, the pill furnace shook and a roll of black smoke abruptly burst out of the top of the furnace.

Han Yi paused, slowly pulled back his hands, then encapsulated the waste material from the furnace into a spirit bag and put it aside.

After a brief rest, he continued the refining process.

For the second time, Han Yi heard the baby-like screaming sound again. This time he was prepared and didn’t shake his hand. However, he deeply wrinkled his brows.

A moment later.

The pill furnace shook again, black smoke billowed, and Han Yi waved his sleeve to dispel it.

His countenance became solemn.

This ingredient was wrong, unquestionably problematic. Although he had never seen such an ingredient before, he had seen in the Dan book that the pills made from such material had a specific term—Evil Pill.

So-called Evil Pills are made from the flesh or divine souls of living or deceased beings as the main or auxiliary ingredients.

Such pills are detrimental to the harmony of heaven and earth. Once successfully crafted, they invisibly diminish the luck of the alchemist. Only a small group of desperate alchemists would resort to crafting them.

Now, Han Yi suspected that the pill he was crafting belonged to Evil Pills.

He picked up the materials for the third Yang Pill. A golden glow flashed in his eyes as he flicked his finger, releasing a gust of wind that opened the vial cap.

The moment the cap was opened, Han Yi saw that in the strong black liquid, countless bubbles seemed to rise. To the naked eye, these bubbles would be invisible. However, under the Qi Observation Skill, they were clearly visible..
