Yang Chen returned to the Yang family from the Feng family and didn’t stay for long before arriving at Elder Yang’s courtyard. Just like last time, when he arrived, he saw Dan Tong Xu San guarding the entrance.
What surprised Yang Chen was that Xu San had changed his usual attitude. When he saw Yang Chen, he immediately nodded and bowed, running up to greet him warmly, saying, “Young Master Chen, what brings you here? I bet you’re here to see Elder Yang, please come in quickly!”
Yang Chen glanced at Xu San indifferently, noticing the other party’s playfulness and none of the previous disdain.
That made Yang Chen chuckle, thinking that Xu San was actually quite clever. After seeing his results from the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, he knew not to provoke him and no longer dared to make things difficult for him.
However, for caution’s sake, he still nonchalantly looked into Xu San’s eyes.
It was precisely this look that allowed Yang Chen to spot a trace of malice in Xu San’s eyes.
Xu San thought he had hidden his intentions well enough, but he was unaware that his malice was seen clearly by Yang Chen.
“Seems like I overthought it.” Yang Chen’s lips curved up as he thought to himself.
Xu San was only pretending to be respectful while actually remaining unchanged at heart.
Yang Chen maintained his usual expression, seemingly unaware of Xu San’s thoughts. But deep down, he was already slightly on guard. Compared to his previous life, his vigilance had grown significantly, and he would not trust anyone except a few select individuals.
Now, he was curious about what Xu San’s intentions were.
Yang Chen crossed his arms, though he felt quite interested. He didn’t take the initiative to stir up trouble, but he was never one to shy away from conflicts either.
“Yang Chen, you’re here!” Elder Yang spotted Yang Chen’s arrival and joyfully exclaimed.
It wasn’t difficult to see that Elder Yang was in a great mood, his beard was practically dancing.
This mood was due to the fact that he had recently gone to see the Clan Leader and reported to Yang Jin He that Yang Chen was a Dan Medical. The news
As a result, Yang Jin He even apologized to him, admitting that neglecting Yang Chen previously had been his fault.
How could he not be happy about such an apology? It should be noted that Yang Jin He was the Clan Leader, and even if he were wrong, he would not admit it on his own.
Yang Chen respectfully replied, ‘Elder Yang, please forgive me for visiting uninvited.’
“What are you talking about? I’ve said before, feel free to come to my courtyard anytime you please!” Elder Yang replied with a smile.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll take you up on your offer. I must admit, I haven’t been making much progress in alchemy recently, so I was hoping to use your Pill Refining Room,” Yang Chen said.
“Of course, no problem. Yang Chen, my Pill Refining Room is your Pill Refining Room. Now, let’s go.” Elder Yang stroked his beard.
Yang Chen nodded and followed Elder Yang into the Pill Refining Room.
Elder Yang said with his hands behind his back, “You can practice alchemy in this room. To provide you with a proper environment, I’ll wait outside. When you have successfully refined a pill, I’ll come in to see your progress and give you some pointers. I hope you can work hard.”
“I won’t let you down!” Yang Chen said with a cupped-fist salute.
Soon, Elder Yang left, leaving Yang Chen alone in the Pill Refining Room.
At this moment, Yang Chen stood in the Pill Formula, focusing his gaze on the Pill Furnace in front of him.
“Come to think of it, among the materials the Clan Leader gave me a few days ago, there were actually two Fire Red Fruits. That was quite unexpected. With the Fire Red Fruits, I can refine more Gravity Pills. Although the effect of the Gravity Pill on my current Martial Arts Cultivation isnt as remarkable as the first one, it should be more than enough to help me break through to the Body Refining Realm Sixth Layer Peak.”
Yang Chen thought to himself and then muttered, “Moreover, this Gravity Pill can also be considered a great gift to the Yang family in return. After all, the Yang family helped me a lot in retrieving the Purple Elegance Dan Furnace from the Wang Family.”Thinking of this, Yang Chen no longer wasted time, and placed the materials for refining the Gravity Pill into the pill furnace one after another.
Suddenly, he quickly started a fire and controlled the burning of the flames.
Yang Chen’s movements were very skillful, without a trace of superfluity. With the help of the Pill Refining Room, in less than the time it takes for a cup of tea, the pill refining process was already nearing its end.
“Success!” Yang Chen shouted.
The next moment, a fragrant aroma wafted out of the pill furnace.
This aroma was extremely pungent, which was a characteristic of the Gravity Pills.
Even Elder Yang outside could smell this aroma.
“Hmm?” Elder Yang, with his hands behind his back, looked puzzled when he smelled the aroma from the successful refining of the pill: “Something’s off. This pill fragrance is very strange. I’ve never encountered this kind of fragrance before. Could it be a pill refining failure? No, it shouldn’t be. A failed pill refining would have a very disgusting burnt taste. Although this fragrance is pungent, it doesn’t have a burnt taste.”
As the great alchemist of the Yang family, Elder Yang still remembered the aromas of various elixirs upon their success, as if they had been etched into his mind.
However, he had never smelled the fragrance of the pill that Yang Chen had refined.
He hadn’t seen it at all.
“What’s going on?” Elder Yang, full of doubt, pushed open the door curiously and entered the Pill Refining Room.
“Yang Chen, what kind of pill are you refining? I have no impression of this pill fragrance. Did something go wrong during the pill refining process?” Elder Yang asked in confusion.
Yang Chen had already thought of an explanation, and began to speak: “Elder
Yang, the truth is that I have been researching a new elixir called the Gravity Pill since before the Coming of Age Ceremony. The main ingredient of this pill is Fire Red Fruit, and it is supplemented by Iron Show Pill. As Elder Yang knows, Iron Show Pill can strengthen the body, whereas consuming Fire Red Fruit can increase a person’s arm strength. I wondered if the combination of these two, along with some other materials, could produce an unexpected effect.”
“You mean… You… you invented this pill? It’s not that you followed a pill formula for refining, but purely an experiment?” Elder Yang opened his mouth wide, his expression freezing.
“That’s right.” Yang Chen said gently.
Elder Yang took a deep breath, “No, this…”
He could hardly believe his own ears. He quickly uncovered the pill furnace and saw several exquisite pills lying flat inside. The pills looked round and lustrous, not like those of failed pills.
At this moment, he was completely shocked.
To know that creating a new pill is extremely difficult. It requires multiple theoretical and practical trials, and the most challenging step is the pill’s success. It can be said that even with a fixed formula and refining process, the success of the pill is as difficult as climbing to the sky. And groping blindly is even more difficult.
“So, Yang Chen, you said this pill is called the Gravity Pill?” Elder Yang asked.
“Yes,” Yang Chen replied honestly.
Elder Yang, struggling to suppress the shock in his heart, asked: “And according to your own expectations, what effect will this pill have after being refined?”
“Based on my estimation, after taking and refining the Gravity Pill, it should increase the cultivation level of Body Refiners and Martial Artists by one level. To put it simply, it would unconditionally increase their strength by 300 jin. Of course, the limit of a person’s body requires self-development, so this pill’s effect would be strongest the first time it is used.” Yang Chen explained.
“Unconditionally increase the cultivation level of a Body Refining Realm martial artist by one level?” Elder Yang’s heart was filled with awe.
Was Yang Chen joking with him?
