Chapter 274: Pill Fire

sesses consciousness, just like the spiritual energy that exists in the world."Even if it weren't for the life fire being placed within the flameless puppet lamps, if they were to exist between heaven...Seeing Ginger Cloud's furrowed brows, Elder Han's face flashed with a barely perceptible odd smile.

He pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "Jiang Yun, as an outer sect disciple, you speak first!"

"How much progress have you made in refining the elixir in your furnace"

Before Jiang Yun could speak, Elder Han continued, “However, our Yaoshhenzong won’t deceive you either.”

Because you didn't participate in the second round of the competition, you don't know what medicinal herbs are in your dan furnace.

"If you can name these herbs, then even if you cannot tell the right heat for the elixir, I might let you pass this round."

At first glance, Elder Han's words seemed to give Jiang Yun two choices, almost as if he were looking out for him.

But most people know that this is actually an indirect way of increasing the difficulty of Jiang Yun's level.

While others must speak of the fire's passing for their elixir, Gingercloud's standard differs from the rest.

Even if he could name the herbs in the cauldron, it would be unconvincing and fail to impress.

Moreover, under the circumstances where he couldn't see or use his divine sense, relying solely on smell and hearing to name all the herbs inside the alchemy furnace wouldn't be any easier.

Only the headmaster of the Yaoshén Sect, upon hearing Elder Han's words, cast a meaningful glance at the other party.

All eyes were naturally on Jiang Yun, wanting to see how he would choose.

However, Jiang Yun seemed to have not heard Elder Han's words at all. He still frowned tightly, staring at the cauldron in front of him, without a word.

Until a strange and eerie voice rang out: "Jiang Yun, Elder Han has already shown you extraordinary leniency. He gives you two choices. If you can't figure it out, just admit defeat and don't waste time here."

The speaker is still Li Changlin.

And at this moment, he didn't know if it was because he entered the top three in the second round of the competition, making him feel a little airy now, completely forgetting that he had just been scared by Jiang Yun.

However, what he said was quite timely.

Because the expression Ginger Cloud was currently showing was indeed like that of someone who couldn't be sure what medicinal ingredients were inside the cauldron, nor could they be sure of the heat of the elixir. Thus, for a moment, he dared not speak.

Just as Xiao Zheng was about to step in and say a few words on behalf of Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun finally raised his head. He ignored Li Changlin completely and looked directly at Elder Han instead. "Elder Han," he said, "May I ask you a question"

Elder Han smiled faintly and said, "Ask as you please!"

"Can senior master confirm that all the medicinal herbs in this cauldron of mine can be refined into a certain kind of elixir"

This problem, when heard by others, didn't elicit any reaction. However, Elder Han's eyes showed a distinct glimmer of surprise.

However, this sliver of surprise vanished in an instant, so quickly that no one even noticed.

Elder Han regained his composure and nodded solemnly. "An old man like me can vouch for these herbs. They are definitely capable of being used to refine a certain kind of elixir!"

Now, can you answer that

Jiang Yun closed his eyes again, but spoke, "Tianjing grass, white fermented honey, Fengling leaf, Suo Luo lotus, cicada molting, Shou Gong..."

Although Gingercloud's voice was like a murmur to herself, it clearly reached everyone's ears.

And of course they all knew that every word Jiang Yun spoke was the name of a medicinal herb.

Clearly, this is the medicinal herb inside the cauldron in front of Ginger Cloud.

However, besides Elder Han, everyone else was also unaware of what medicinal herbs were inside Jiang Yun's furnace. Thus, they couldn't tell whether what Jiang Yun said was true or false.

All eyes turned to Elder Han, hoping to judge the correctness of Yun Jiang's answer through his facial expressions.

It's a pity that Elder Han, at this moment, is just like Jiang Yun, with his eyes closed.

Besides a barely perceptible smile playing at the corner of her lips, there was no other expression on her face, leaving everyone utterly clueless.

But Ke Jiangyun didn't care about these things. His mouth kept spewing out one medicinal name after another: "Jin Di Luo, Wang Bu Liu Xing, Zi Hua Di Ding, Man Tu Luo..."

Gradually, expressions of surprise began to appear on everyone's faces.

Because the names of medicinal herbs mentioned by Ginger Cloud exceed thirty!

It is important to know that even among those who passed the second round, the one who gathered the most herbs didn't have more than twenty kinds, but Ginger Cloud's voice was still continuing.

This caused many disciples to look at each other in surprise, and they couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.

Is what Jiangyun said true or not Could it be that he's just randomly naming drugs to fool us

"I don't know, but it's very possible!"

"It's not necessarily so. The most complex elixir formula in our sect, as the saying goes, requires thirty-seven different herbs. Ginger Cloud reported thirty kinds, which isn't that many."

However, the voices defending Jiang Yun quickly fell silent.

Because the herbs that Gingercloud was reciting continued to come out, already exceeding forty names, and still going.

This made almost everyone think that Ginger Cloud was just talking nonsense.

Where can I find such a pill recipe It requires so many medicinal ingredients.

Besides, even if such a pill existed, how profound would one's alchemy mastery need to be to successfully refine it

Whether it's Li Changlin or Guan Yiming, these people have smirks on their faces, looking at Jiang Yun with cold eyes, not even bothering to interrupt. They just want to see how many kinds of medicinal herbs Jiang Yun will come up with in the end!

Finally, when Jiang Yun reported the forty-nine herbs from his mouth, he closed his mouth and opened his eyes, looking back at Elder Han.

And as Elder Jiang's voice ceased, Elder Han nearly simultaneously opened his eyes, a faint smile still lingering on his lips, and looked at Elder Jiang and said, "Finished"

Gingercloud didn't answer the question. Instead, she stared straight at him and said: "Of these forty-nine herbs, there are nine that are metallic in nature, seventeen that are woody, three that are fiery, ten that are watery, and ten that are earthen."

Such a combination of five elements is extremely contradictory and impossible to refine into any kind of elixir.

Later, I thought of the burning furnace fire, also of the fire element. Under this principle of one increasing and another decreasing, it seemed that it could neutralize the contradictions between the Five Elements.

But in doing so, these medicinal herbs would become twenty-four mutually generating and twenty-five mutually inhibiting, with unequal generation and inhibition.

"Theoretically, it's still impossible to refine a certain kind of elixir!"

Jiang Yun's voice rang out again in the ears of all the Yaoshengzong people, and the more they listened, the more shocked they became.

They originally thought that Ginger Cloud was just randomly calling out names of medicine.

But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Yun had actually calculated the properties of all these herbs.

And, furthermore, it calculated the relationship of mutual generation and restraint between them.

Some meticulous disciples, as Ginger Cloud described, had already begun to calculate the five elements attributes of each herb according to the names he had previously reported.

And the final result, as Ginger Cloud had said, was exactly the same!

Although this doesn't definitively confirm whether Jiang Yun's answer is correct, being able to achieve this solely through the senses of smell and hearing is impressive.

This is enough to show, Ginger Cloud's medicinal effect is really too strong!

However, Elder Han completely ignored these words and stared fixedly at Jiang Yun, his eyes blazing: "Is this the final answer you're going to give me"

But Gingercloud suddenly laughed and said, “My original conclusion was that these forty-nine kinds of medicinal herbs, when placed together, could not be used to refine any pills at all.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yun reached out and lifted the alchemy furnace in front of him, not minding the scorching heat emanating from it at all. "There should be nothing inside this furnace!"

But, the question I asked just now, Elder Han, you answered very confidently, so my final answer is——

Speaking of this, Ginger Cloud paused and then said word by word, "The heat of this pill has reached ninety percent!"
