Chapter 874 - The Explosion of the Furnace (1/2)

Su Wuxian said, “Young man, you can rest assured that these pills will be yours. However, our Alchemist Association will purchase them at a high price. At that time, we will give you a satisfactory price.”

Qin Haodong immediately said, “That’s good. Great!”

Fang Qiong’er gave a cold humph. “Greedy guy!”

Qin Haodong did not care about this title. What he lacked most now was money. After all, it was difficult to go anywhere in the academy without money.

The three of them came to a huge alchemy room in the Alchemist Association. Someone had already prepared the medicinal materials needed for refining pills.

With Su Wuxian’s approval, more than a dozen people also came in and cheered for their goddess. They wanted to see how miserable Qin Haodong would be later.

Qin Haodong chose a position. With a thought, the Shennong Furnace suddenly appeared in the alchemy room.

Seeing the simple and grand Shennong Furnace, Su Wuxian’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had been an Alchemist for so many years but he had never seen such a good furnace.

He circled round the Shennong Furnace a few times and couldn’t help saying, “Good furnace! This is definitely a good furnace!”

Fang Qiong’er snorted and said, “You don’t have the ability. What’s the use of having a good furnace?”

Qin Haodong smiled slightly. This woman was really arrogant. Since she was so supercilious, then let me defeat her!

He stretched out his index finger and flicked it gently. A dazzling fire entered the Shennong Furnace and then turned into a raging fire. The competition of refining pills officially began.

Fang Qiong’er felt hurt and resentful in her heart. She did not say anything else. With a slight shake of her wrist, a huge furnace appeared in the alchemy room.

Then, she lit the fire, heated the furnace, and put the herbs in. Everything was done in one go, showing her solid foundation in alchemy.

Although she was proud and arrogant, she knew that it wasn’t easy to refine Cultivation Pills. Therefore, with a grave expression, she fully concentrated on using all her abilities.

Zhang Dapeng said, “Who do you think will win this competition?”

Ma Yan said, “Without doubt, Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er is sure to win. That sensational guy can’t refine the Level Five pills.”

The others echoed his thoughts and stood on Fang Qiong’er’s side.

Zhang Dapeng said, “I feel that Brother Qin is remarkable. Maybe he can’t defeat Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er but he can also refine Level Five pills.”

Ma Yan said disdainfully at once, “You’ve taken the exam three times and failed to get the Level One Medal. How can a new guy like him refine Level Five pills? Are you thinking with your heels?”

Zhang Dapeng shook his head and did not refute. Logically speaking, he did not think Qin Haodong could succeed but he felt in his heart that this person was unusual.

Qin Haodong was not affected by them at all. Without the little fellow’s innate fire, it was a little bit weak only in terms of the strength of the fire.

However, his alchemy skills were extremely good and he was very familiar with the Cultivation Pill. The medicinal materials flew into the Shennong Furnace one by one and soon turned into rich medicinal liquid. All the procedures were natural and smooth. The speed was amazing.

Su Wuxian was secretly shocked. This young man’s technique was fast but every step was just right. It could be seen that his alchemy skill was so good that even he could not do this. Could it be that he could really refine Level Five pills?

“What is this guy doing? Isn’t his refining speed too fast?”

Ma Yan scornfully said, “What’s the use of being fast? Refining pills is not a race. I think he will blow up the furnace soon…”

“I think so too. Look at Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er. That is really refining…”

They were all amateurs. Anyway, they were just optimistic about Fang Qionger.

Fang Qiong’er secretly glanced at Qin Haodong. She couldn’t help feeling a little perturbed in her heart. This guy looked calm and skilled. He seemed a master and didn’t seem like a rookie at all.

It seemed like she had to increase her speed. Otherwise, even if they both succeeded later, she would still lose face if she lost in terms of speed.

She had not realized that she subconsciously acknowledged that Qin Haodong could refine Cultivation Pills.

Qin Haodong’s speed increased rapidly. He showed no signs of slowing down at all.

About 20 minutes later, a strong smell of pills filled the room. Qin Haodong had finished refining his pills.

He turned off the fire and put away the pills. Nine fiery red pills appeared in the jade bottle in his hand. The surfaces of these pills overflowed with three dazzling golden veins.

Qin Haodong shook his head slightly. It seemed he could not make 12 pills due to the lack of the Innate Fire of the little fellow.

“What’s going on? This guy really refined pills. Isn’t that a bit too fast?”

“The speed is so fast. Why didn’t the furnace explode?”

“I don’t think it’s right. I’ve seen many masters refining pills but I’ve never seen anyone doing it at such a fast pace. I don’t think what this guy has refined is anything special, but it’s definitely not the Cultivation Pill…”

Everyone was shocked by Qin Haodong’s speed. They looked at the jade bottle in his hand.

Su Wuxian was a Level Seven Alchemist. As a master amongst Alchemists, he could tell from the scent that these pills were Cultivation Pills.

He walked over and took the jade bottle from Qin Haodong’s hand. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly. The nine Cultivation Pills were not only extremely round and smooth, full and moist but also had three golden veins.

Even with his skill as the Level Seven Alchemist, the pills refined by him could not form veins every time. Even if he could, there would only be one vein. However, the pills that this young man had refined actually had three veins. From this, it could be seen just how good this young man’s skill was.

Seeing Su Wuxian’s expression, the others immediately gathered around. Ma Yan asked, “President Su, what did he refine? Are these really the Cultivation Pills?”

Su Wuxian said excitedly, “Little Qin not only refined the Cultivation Pills, but these pills even have three veins.
