The scorching flames were dancing around happily. The air seemed to be on the verge of burning out. Even though Jiang Chen was controlling the flames, as well as covering the flames with a certain amount of his Yuan energy, the True Dragon Flame was too mighty. It had raised the temperature of the furnace room in an instant, causing a blazing airflow to float around in the furnace room.
Jiang Chen had a calm expression. His black hair was fluttering backwards, and his eyes were brimming with vigor like a pair of dark gemstones. With all his focus, he kept staring at the sea of flames in front of him. Within the flames, all 48 herbs were floating in different positions, and were being burned with different temperatures that suited them individually.
If Guo Shan was here, even though he already knew about Jiang Chen’s ability, he would be laying on the floor due to extreme shock. Purifying 48 herbs compared to 5 herbs simultaneously were two completely different things. This was because each herb had its own smelting point in purification, only when the heat reached a certain point would it be purified and the impurities would disappear. If the temperature wasn’t high enough, then the impurities wouldn’t be completely burnt off, and if the temperature was too high, then it would burn some of the herb’s essence.
Therefore, in the purification process, it required the alchemist to have a very precise control of the flame. The alchemist needed to focus with all his attention, and use his soul energy to sense the smelting point of each herb, and control the temperature of the flame to that point. Only then would he be able to get rid of all impurities while keeping all of the essence.
There are no doubts about this being a very difficult step in alchemy. Therefore, when ordinary alchemist concocted pills, they would use a furnace to help control the temperature of the flame. Besides, since each herb had its own smelting point, the alchemist would need to purify them one at a time, or purify herbs with the same smelting point at the same time. If two herbs with different smelting points were purified at the same time, it would usually result in impurities remaining or essence being burned off, which then makes the pill low quality.
Even the alchemists with rich experience might at most purify a few herbs together at once. The fact that Jiang Chen is able to purify dozens of herbs together at once was simply astounding. Only the renowned alchemists had the courage to do so, and none of them would be able to do it so leisurely.
However, this was Jiang Chen, he was once a mighty Saint rank alchemist. Along with the Great Soul Derivation skill that gives him an excellent perception and precise control, he also had the True Dragon Flames. He truly possesses a godly prowess when it came to concocting pills.
Purifying dozens of herbs at the same time was not something easily accomplished. Jiang Chen needed to find over 40 smelting points in these herbs and burn them at the same time; this step had taken him nearly three hours.
“It took me nearly three hours. If I was in my prime, I would be able to do it in minutes.”
Jiang Chen shook his head. If what he said was heard by Guo Shan, or any other alchemist, they might have thrown up all their blood and try to attack Jiang Chen. His words dealt a huge blow to all alchemists. His words could make every single alchemist in this world feel ashamed.
Put aside other alchemists and just use Guo Shan as an example; if he wanted to purify all 48 herbs, it might have taken him at least 4-5 days. As for Firethorn Savage’s demon soul, he might need even longer. And then there was the last step which was merging all the ingredients. Without at least half a month, it was simply impossible for him to concoct the Profound Six Solar Pill.
“Next, I’ll need to refine Firethorn Savage’s demon soul. I’ll melt it down to liquid, then I’ll merge everything together and produce the pill.”
Jiang Chen thought to himself. With the control of his Yuan energy, 48 purified herb essences glowed colorfully. All of them looked like droplets of crystal as they floated at one corner within the flame.
Jiang Chen flipped his palm and retrieved the golden colored Firethorn Savage’s demon soul from his storage ring, then he threw the fist-sized demon soul into the sea of flames. His True Dragon Flame transformed into dozens of fiery dragons which immediately surrounded the demon soul.
HA!
Jiang Chen let out a shout, then he adjusted the True Dragon Flame’s temperature to its maximum, then he begun to burn Firethorn Savage’s demon soul.
Firethorn Savage’s demon soul contained a massive amount of energy essence, and it couldn’t be wasted. Aside from that, it also contained pure yang energy within, which was the source of Firethorn Savage’s strength.
