Chapter 312: 312: Does my alchemy technique not catch your eye?
“Go back!” Before they could speak, He Jun almost screamed.
However, just after he finished speaking, a sudden intense pain struck his belly, and he vomited blood once again.
Half an hour later.
Inside the palace arranged by the Eastern Desolate City Lord’s Mansion, He Qian looked at his son He Jun’s swollen belly with a dark expression. He Jun’s belly was swollen like a woman six months pregnant, with a terrifying fist print on it. Around the fist print, black Asura Force formed a frightening pattern, vaguely resembling an Asura.
One of the He Family elders saw this pattern and said with a grave expression, “It’s Asura Force! And it’s at the Summit Mastery Realm!”
Upon hearing about Asura Force, many experts of the He Family shifted their expressions.
“How does this young boy know Asura Force? Could he be from the Asura Demon Sect?” one of the He Family experts asked in shock.
The Asura Demon Sect was once notorious in the Buddha Source Empire.
However, it was later annihilated by the Peacock Clan.
“This young boy, at such a young age, has cultivated Asura Force to Summit Mastery, his talent is not ordinary,” another He Family expert said solemnly.
Yet He Jun cried out to He Qian, “Father, I must kill this boy!”
He Qian turned to the several He Family elders present and said, “The Buddha Son’s people just came over and said they want to cooperate with us, to ambush and kill the Mu Family on their way back.”
“We’ll kill Mu Haodong, and leave this young boy to them!”
The He Family elders looked at each other but none spoke.
Killing Mu Haodong would undoubtedly be a declaration of war against the Mu Family.
This was no small matter.
While the He Family was discussing whether to cooperate with Tang Huan, Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun had finished their stroll and returned to the courtyard, where Xiaotian practiced the Burying Heaven Sword Technique with the Burying Heaven Sword.
Having obtained the Innate Fine Iron, he had completely repaired the Burying Heaven Sword.
With the Burying Heaven Sword, its technique was extremely powerful when executed, much stronger than many of the Supreme Divine Sword Techniques Xiaotian had practiced before.
While Yang Xiaotian was practicing the Burying Heaven Sword Technique, Tang Huan was studying the manuscript of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.
“Redemption Land,” Tang Huan murmured to himself.
Through his days of research, he had deduced that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was very likely located in the Redemption Land of their Buddha Source.
However, he had only verified that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was in Redemption Land, as to where exactly it was, he still needed to look for more information.
The next day.
The Eastern Desolate City Lord’s Mansion was bustling extraordinarily.
The Eastern Desolate City Lord Deng Chuan sent someone to invite Mu Haodong, Yang Xiaotian, and a few others to a banquet.
When they arrived, the banquet was already packed.
Due to the limited seating in the main hall, Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun could only stand behind Mu Haodong.
Mu Haodong, seeing Yang Xiaotian standing behind him, felt uneasy, unable to sit comfortably.
Many clan leaders familiar with Mu Haodong found his seating posture peculiar.
Moments later, He Qian, Tang Huan, and Yao Qingxue, among others, arrived.
He Qian, Tang Huan, and Yao Qingxue came together.
He Jun, following behind He Qian, entered bending at the waist. When he saw Yang Xiaotian, his eyes nearly shot out solar flames.
That look, he would have liked nothing better than to blast Xiaotian to smithereens.
Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue sat opposite Mu Haodong.
He Jun, however, took a seat next to Mu Haodong.
Once Deng Chuan arrived, the banquet started.
A room filled with laughter and merriment.
Four rounds of drinks passed.
Suddenly, Deng Chuan said to Tang Huan, “I’ve heard that Buddha Sons can concoct medicines without a Medicine Cauldron. Such an ability I’ve never seen before. I wonder if today you could enlighten this old man.”
As soon as Deng Chuan spoke, the hall erupted into noise.
“What, concocting medicines without a Medicine Cauldron? That’s impossible! If it’s really possible to concoct without a Medicine Cauldron, that would be a Divine Miracle!”
“With Lord Deng Chuan saying this, it must be true!”
Everyone was shocked and incredulous, the conversation buzzing.
Originally the center of attention, Tang Huan became even more the focus of everyone’s eyes.
Even Mu Haodong, He Qian, and other family leaders couldn’t help but be moved.
Mu Yunchun also had a face full of surprise, evidently having never heard of such a miraculous method.
“Buddha Son, I have practiced alchemy for thousands of years and have never seen medicine refined without a Medicine Cauldron. Such a method, could you possibly give us a chance to broaden our horizons!” an excited family ancestor said.
“Indeed, Buddha Son, do we fortune to witness such a Divine Miracle today!”
One after another, family ancestors and leaders excitedly spoke up.
Hearing this, Tang Huan stood up, cupped his fists towards Deng Chuan and the crowd, and said, “I have only initially grasped the method of alchemy without a Medicine Cauldron, and the technique is still quite raw. But since Lord Deng Chuan and the venerable ancestors wish to see it, then Tang Huan will perform despite his meager skills.”
The crowd, upon hearing Tang Huan admit to being able to refine medicine without a Medicine Cauldron, was even more astonished and excited.
Especially the young female disciples of those families, who stared at Tang Huan with hearts in their eyes.
As if they were looking at a White Dragon prince.
In the midst of everyone’s astonishment and excitement, Tang Huan got up from his seat and walked to the center of the great hall, then took out fourteen types of medicinal ingredients.
He smiled at the crowd and said, “I have only just begun to grasp the method of alchemy without a Medicine Cauldron, and currently, I can only refine Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without one. I hope the elders will not find this too disappointing.”
Deng Chuan quickly said, “Being able to refine Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron is already a Divine Miracle; how could we find fault in that?”
The other ancestors and family leaders also hastened to express their agreement.
Tang Huan nodded, then moved to stand in front of the fourteen medicinal ingredients.
Everyone quieted down, not blinking, afraid to miss any part of witnessing the Divine Miracle.
Yang Xiaotian, seeing that Tang Huan could also refine medicine without a Medicine Cauldron, watched his every move intently, looking for anything he might learn from.
Under everyone’s gaze, Tang Huan suddenly stretched out his hand: “Fire, come!”
Immediately, all the Heaven and Earth Fire within a thousand meters howled towards his hands.
The crowd, upon seeing this, was amazed.
A mere Emperor Realm Tang Huan, capable of controlling the Heaven and Earth Fire within a kilometer radius—such Soul Power was definitely astonishing.
Even Deng Chuan couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing this.
Following that, Tang Huan waved his hands, and a flame flew toward one of the medicinal ingredients.
At the same time, with his other hand, he controlled the flying of that ingredient off the ground.
Wrapped in Heaven and Earth Fire, the ingredient slowly began to melt.
Afterward, Tang Huan, in the same manner, controlled the Heaven and Earth Fire to melt another medicinal ingredient.
Under everyone’s tense gaze, the fourteen medicinal ingredients melted one by one.
In the end, Tang Huan controlled the Heaven and Earth Fire to coalesce into a fire cauldron.
The crowd, seeing Tang Huan construct a fire cauldron with the Heaven and Earth Fire, widened their eyes in disbelief; many in the room were alchemy experts who had never seen anyone use Heaven and Earth Fire to construct a fire cauldron before.
Once the fire cauldron was formed, Tang Huan controlled the melted essence of the fourteen medicinal ingredients to drip into the cauldron.
Everyone held their breath.
Time passed, and at last, the scent of medicine wafted from within the fire cauldron.
A cyan-colored liquid materialized in front of everyone.
“It’s done!”
“He really refined the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!”
“A Divine Miracle! A Divine Miracle of our Buddha Source Empire! No, a Divine Miracle in the history of alchemy within the Martial Soul world!”
The many ancestors and Sect Masters present were shocked beyond measure, filled with excitement.
Even Deng Chuan, Mu Haodong, He Qian, and others were filled with amazement.
But Yang Xiaotian was greatly disappointed; he had hoped to see if there were anything in Tang Huan’s alchemy technique worth learning, but the other’s alchemy technique was clumsy, and the fire cauldron he constructed was not stable at all.
In the end, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid that was produced was merely of superior quality.
Previously, even before he joined the True Dragon Divine Sect, he could casually refine top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron.
Tang Huan, seeing that he had refined a superior quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, was delighted within. Before, the best he’d done was refining high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, so achieving superior quality today felt like a performance beyond his usual level.
Caught up in his pride, he suddenly noticed Yang Xiaotian shaking his head in disappointment and couldn’t suppress his anger: “This young brother has been shaking his head all the while; could it be that you find my alchemy technique unsatisfactory?”
Everyone grew silent, turning their gazes toward Yang Xiaotian all at once.
