About two and a half minutes later, the old apothecary flew out with a delicate jade piece in his hand.
"You're lucky, kid. This is a secret technique suitable for Magical Beasts to cultivate. It allows Magical Beasts to change size at will. It was given to me by an old friend from the fox clan…" As he said this, Yao Lao felt a little melancholy. He didn't know where Hu Jiu Jiu had gone after leaving the Dou Qi Continent, and it was still unknown whether she was alive.
"Thank you, Elder Yao!" Chen Yang cupped his hands in thanks to Elder Yao, as he roughly knew who the old fox friend Elder Yao was referring to was.
It must be said that Venerable Medicine is quite a man of character!
"Sigh… Don't thank me yet. What kind of pills did you say Xiao Yan could use? I need to check their value first!" Yao Lao put the jade piece behind his back, making Xiao Yan anxious.
He was about to say that it wouldn't matter if he gave this to Chen Yang, but he was glared at by the old doctor.
"Hahaha…" Chen Yang burst into laughter when he saw the little tricks of the master and apprentice, and then explained the effects of the three Grade 5 Pills.
"Ice and Fire Body Tempering Pill, a Grade 5 Pill. After taking it, one must be whipped for three hours a day for seven days by a spiritual object containing both ice and fire attributes. If taken continuously for six months, it can enhance the physical body to be comparable to a 5-Tier Magical Beast!"
"The Yin-Yang Creation Pill is a Grade 5 Pill, a complementary pill to the Ice and Fire Body Tempering Pill. It takes three hours of beating to activate its effects, and the injuries can be fully restored within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. However, the effects only last for three days!"
"The Ice Heart Pill is also a Grade 5 Pill. After taking it, the body temperature will be maintained at the freezing point for two hours. It is generally used to prolong the life of those who are on the verge of death while waiting for life-saving pills. However, if it is to devour a Heavenly Flame, the Ice Heart Pill is just right!"
These three pills all originated from the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Domain in the Great Thousand World. The first two were still custom-made by the Martial Ancestor, the Lord of the Martial Realm, while the Ice Heart Pill was created by the future Flame Emperor for the younger generation of the Ice Spirit Clan. Ordinary people might freeze into ice blocks after taking it, but the younger generation of the Ice Spirit Clan could achieve twice the result with half the effort when using it to cultivate ice-type spiritual power!
Of course, this was all because of the Martial Ancestor.
"This…"
"How could it possibly contain a spirit object familiar to both ice and fire…"
As Xiao Yan was speaking, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Yao Lao.
"Teacher, your… your Bone Chilling Flame…"
Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Lao, then at Chen Yang, utterly shocked. 'Was this pill something he had personally made for himself?'
And the elixir is here!
The Teacher's Bone Chilling Flame also meets the requirements, so I'm definitely going to get a beating, right?
"The value of all these pills combined exceeds that of my secret technique!"
The old doctor looked at Chen Yang with a complicated expression and sighed.
"Then… Elder Yao, could you perhaps give me two more High-Level ice-attribute Dou Techniques?"
Chen Yang looked at the old doctor and said with a smile.
"Ice attribute… Let me look around. Some things were just casually thrown into my storage ring back then, so many years ago…" Yao Lao muttered to himself, then went into his bone ring to search again.
This time, the old apothecary appeared quite quickly, in less than twenty-five seconds, and he was holding three scrolls in his hand.
"Here… two High-Level Xuan Rank books and one Mid-Level Earth Rank book. They're not of much use to me, so I'll give them all to you!" Chen Yang asked for two books, but Yao Lao immediately took out three. Neither he nor Xiao Yan needed the ice-attribute books; they were just part of his collection as the Medicine Venerable. So many years had passed, and he still had no offspring, so he would use them as resources to train his disciples!
With a wave of his hand, Yao Lao handed the three fighting techniques and the jade tablet to Chen Yang, then floated back to Xiao Yan's side.
"Then thank you very much, Elder Yao!" Chen Yang took the jade piece and the fighting technique, smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to take out paper and pen from his storage ring, and quickly wrote down all the medicinal materials needed for the three kinds of pills. Then he took out a card that Xiao Yan recognized very well!
"These pills are not expensive except for the ingredients needed for the Ice Heart Pill. You'll have to figure out how to get the Ice Spirit Cold Spring needed for the Ice Heart Pill yourself. Oh, by the way, you need Blood Lotus Pills to devour the Heavenly Flame, right? Do you need me to refine them for you? I have Ice Spirit Flame Grass and 4-Tier ice-attribute Magic Cores here. Just bring the Blood Lotus Essence you bought from my shop!"
"For Elder Yao's sake, I'll only charge you 100,000 gold coins for this Blood Lotus Pill!"
"You've made a killing with just one Grade 5 Pill, and you only need to provide one type of medicinal herb!"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and chuckled.
"I…"
Looking at the purple-gold card that Nalan Yanran had given him back then, and listening to what Chen Yang said, Xiao Yan was completely speechless.
"Brother Yang, please leave me some gold coins, I beg you!"
Xiao Yan felt like he was about to become broke again. He didn't have enough gold coins to spend on the Ice Spirit Spring and other medicinal herbs. He simply didn't have enough!
"What do children need so many gold coins for?"
"Can't we exchange them for cultivation resources and convert them into our own strength?"
With a pained expression, Xiao Yan pulled out 100,000 gold coins and placed them on the table. It had to be said that pulling out 100,000 gold coins like that was quite shocking; it was almost like piling up a small mountain.
Chen Yang gave Little Fairy Doctor a look, and Little Fairy Doctor stepped forward and put all the gold coins into her storage ring. Little Fairy Doctor's storage ring was bought by Chen Yang at the Mittel Auction House in Black Rock City in the past two days. It had 15 cubic meters, was very expensive, and was already one of the largest storage rings in Black Rock City.
According to the person in charge of the Mittel Auction House, who was at the Dou Ling level, most of the Dou Wang level experts in the Jia Ma Empire used this kind of 15-cubic-meter storage ring.
Chen Yang thought about it for a moment and realized that his 20-cubic-meter storage ring didn't seem that big. He hoped that Hai Bodong's storage ring in Mo City would be larger.
Of course, even if it was only 15 cubic meters, it was still much larger than the storage ring he initially gave to Little Fairy Doctor, which only had a little over three cubic meters.
After paying, Xiao Yan took out the Blood Lotus Essence and handed it to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang nodded, then took out his medicine cauldron and began refining pills.
"Chen Yang, this Blood Lotus Pill is a Grade 5 Pill. Are you sure you don't want to adjust your condition a little?"
The old doctor looked at Chen Yang and said.
"It's just a Grade 5 Pill, no problem!"
Chen Yang waved his hand, and a rich, seven-colored flame poured into the medicine cauldron. Then, he threw all the medicinal herbs in at once.
"Holy crap… Brother Yang, what you've done…"
Xiao Yan had never seen a Grade 5 Pill refined like this before.
Compared to Xiao Yan, Yao Lao saw things more clearly. With just this superb technique, Chen Yang was definitely not just a novice Grade 5 Alchemist.
'This kid's alchemy skills are probably already at the Seventh Grade. I reckon his elders sealed a portion of his alchemy abilities to train him.'
'Otherwise, you couldn't be so skilled!'
The reason why no one suspected that Chen Yang was a Grade 8 Alchemist was because a Grade 8 Alchemist needs a Spirit-Level Soul Force, and the old alchemist did not sense any Spirit-Level Soul Force from Chen Yang.
"Let's go, kid. It'll take at least a day or two to refine a Grade 5 Pill. Let's go collect the medicinal herbs here first!"
"We also need to find out about the Ice Spirit Cold Spring!"
"You'll need this no matter what."
As he spoke, Yao Lao nodded to Chen Yang and slipped into the bone ring in Xiao Yan's hand.
Xiao Yan bid farewell to Chen Yang and left the inn…
