Chapter 285: Elder Qian Refines Pills


    Trantor: 549690339


    Upon hearing this, Elder Qian froze, then said incredulously, “Impossible! There was only one Pill Form, how could I have taken an iplete one?”


    Fang Lin was speechless, “But this Pill Form is indeed iplete, refining anything per this form will result in nothing.”


    Elder Qian was stumped at this moment. Was it really possible? The Pill Form that he had been cherishing for decades turned out to be an iplete one.


    No wonder he had tried so many times without being able to produce aplete Pill. He had thought it was due to his inability to fully understand the Pill Form.


    Now it turned out that it was not the case at all. It would be strange if he could actually refine a sessful pill using an iplete form.


    Elder Qian gazed at the Pill Form nkly. The paper had turned yellow with age, and the script on it was old. Any way one looked at it, it seemed to be a tremendously cherished ancient form.


    But it was iplete. Elder Qian was so angry that he felt a pain in his liver. How could he have missed the fact that it was iplete after studying it for so many years? Could he really be aging?


    “s, it seems I really am incapable. I’ve spent decades researching an iplete form, and still, I foolishly treated it as if it’s a treasure. Howughable I am.” Elder Qian said with a bitter smile.


    Fang Lin cated, “Perhaps, Master, you were too close to the subject. Even though this form is iplete, it does lookplete. Anyone else in your ce would have done the same.”


    Elder Qian just shook his head. He had spent decades on an iplete form, and the bitterness of seeing all his efforts go in vain wasn’t something he could get over instantly.


    However, Elder Qian very quickly turned to Fang Lin with a face full of astonishment, “How did you, youngd, notice it?”


    Fang Lin scratched his head, “Although this form is iplete, I seem to have seen theplete one, so I realized it.”


    “What? You’ve seen theplete Pill Form?” Elder Qian sprang to his feet abruptly and looked at Fang Lin with amazement.


    Fang Lin nodded, “I seem to remember a formr that an elder had me memorize when I was young, which is very simr to this one. At least everything on this paper is identical to my memory, so I made the judgment that it is not aplete form.”


    Elder Qian stared at Fang Lin in astonishment, then burst intoughter, “Good! Good! I didn’t take you as an apprentice in vain! Quick, tell me theplete Pill Form!”


    Without any hesitation, Fang Lin immediately took out paper and pen and wrote down thetter half of the Pill Form quickly.


    Elder Qian stayed by his side, watching what Fang Lin wrote intently, not even blinking, asionally shing a look of surprise.


    When Fang Lin finished writing, Elder Qian’s expression showed utter astonishment, as if he had encountered something inconceivable.


    “Hahaha!” The next moment, Elder Qianughed like a lunatic, holding a form in each hand, running wildly in the medicine field,ughing hysterically.


    Fang Lin was a little dumbfounded. What was wrong with Elder Qian? Had the shock caused him to go mad?


    Members of the Purple Mist Sect who happened to pass by wore astonished expressions as they watched Elder Qian madly running andughing in the medicine field.


    “What happened to this elder? Why does he seem to have gone mad?”


    “Who knows? But I heard that this Elder Qian has always been a bit like a madman!”


    “s, how can someone go mad all of a sudden?”


    After some murmuring, they all left hastily, as if fleeing a gue, afraid that the mad old man would give them trouble.


    It was only after a while that Elder Qian came back, his eyes were shining as he gazed at the two Pill Forms. Although he was no longer running wildly, he would still asionally burst intoughter.


    “Master, are you okay?” Fang Lin cautiously asked.


    Elder Qian seemed to totally disregard him, and continued to gaze at the two Pill Forms. Suddenly he patted the Nine Pce Bag, and a huge Pill Furnace appeared in front of him.


    This Pill Furnace was extraordinarilyrge, evenrger than usual, and was carved with an extremely intricate array of decorations including Hundred Birds Adoring a Phoenix and Ten Thousand Beasts Charging, showing a grandeur umon to ordinary ones.


    Fang Lin was taken aback. This Pill Furnace was quite something! It was just as good as the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron that the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect had given to Gu Daofeng.


    Fang Lin felt a greedy urge. If he could swallow this Pill Furnace, how much would his strength improve?


    However, this was Elder Qian’s possession after all. Fang Lin just muttered in his heart and didn’t entertain any other thoughts.


    Ignoring everything else, Elder Qian immediately threw himself into busy preparations, sometimes picking medicinal herbs, and sometimes holding the forms close to his face to scrutinize them, as if he waspletely obsessed.


    Fang Lin knew that Elder Qian was indeed obsessed, but he wasn’t bewitched. He was simply consumed by his realizations and wanted to give form to his decades-long understanding.


    Fang Lin moved aside to give Elder Qian space to work on his Pill refining, as he also wanted to see what level the elder’s Pill refining skill was at.


    Most of the medicinal herbs on the form could be easily procured, but a few were missing from Elder Qian’s garden.


    However, it was not a problem. Having lived so many years, Elder Qian had collected many divine and ancient medicinal herbs. Even for the rarer herbs listed on the form, he had them in his Nine Pce Bag and took them out at once.


    Once all the medicinal herbs had been prepared, Elder Qian drew in a deep breath. His face looked radiant, and with a violent p on the Pill Furnace, mes soared. He tossed huge amounts of herbs into the furnace.


    Seeing this, Fang Lin was slightly taken aback. He then focused on the giant Pill Furnace.


    “I see.” Suddenly, Fang Lin smiled, making some sense of the situation.


    The furnace was not onlyrge in size, but its interior was etched with an array. The moment the me was produced, the furnace became hot instantaneously, no waiting was required.


    Elder Qian’s Pill refining technique was incredibly bold and free, eschewing finesse for the sake of efficiency. It had a quality ofrgeness and directness, with no fancy or exquisite moves.


    Interestingly, Elder Qian’s approach to Pill refining was quite simr to Fang Lin’s.


    Fang Lin favored a straightforward approach to Pill refining, valuing efficiency above all else. Those who meddled with fancy gimmicks often ended up with a pile of useless residue.


    After all the medicinal herbs were put into the furnace, Elder Qian closed the furnace lid. Then, he saw Elder Qian pped the body of the Pill Furnace.


    Upon his action, the furnace started to spin like a top. mes formed a whirlpool,pletely covering the furnace.


    This caught Fang Lin by surprise. It seemed Elder Qian really had tricks up his sleeve. This spinning move was performed very skillfully.


    However, before Fang Lin could dwell in astonishment for too long, there was a boom from the furnace. The lid shot up, and ck smoke started to billow out, apanied by a strong smell of something scorched.
