Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1443: Chapter 1442: Fusing Fire with the Pill

”Alright, I agree. You can start refining it now.”

Shen Mengli didn’t believe that Su Han could really perform alchemy, and after thinking for a moment, she added, ”I will provide the medicinal ingredients and pill furnace, whatever you need. If you manage to refine it, it doesn’t have to be mid-class, as long as it matches the quality of this Fire Spirit Pill, I’ll purchase it from you at market price. Consider it compensation for the time you’ve ’wasted’ refining this pill.”

The emphasis on the word ’wasted’ seemed somewhat sarcastic.

Shen Mengli continued, ”Also, if you really can refine it, not only will I tell you whatever is available at the auction, but I’ll also introduce you to my mentor, who is a Third-Grade Pill Master. In the division of the Pill Refining Association on the Star of the Shen Clan, my mentor holds a crucial position. You should know how high the status of a Third-Grade Pill Master is.”

”A Third-Grade Pill Master?”

Su Han shook his head and smiled.

”What, do you even look down on a Third-Grade Pill Master?” Shen Mengli discontentedly asked.

Su Han didn’t answer but said, ”Let’s not waste time; I’m going to refine the pill now.”

”Someone, bring the medicinal ingredients and pill furnace needed for the Fire Spirit Pill...”

”No need.”

Su Han waved his hand, ”I will refine this Fire Spirit Pill.”

”This one?”

Shen Mengli’s beautiful eyes widened instantly, ”You should think this through carefully. Don’t be so arrogant. Refining a pill that someone else has already refined is not only extremely difficult, but it also has a high chance of causing the pill to explode. Considering the Fire Attribute Law and the dense Spiritual Power contained in this Fire Spirit Pill, if it explodes, you could get hurt.”

”Just with this pill? And that so-called Pill Master who can’t even be called a Pill Master?”

Su Han shook his head again, smiling. Although he didn’t say much, his confident demeanor expressed his thoughts.

And this confidence was perceived as arrogance by the people behind Shen Mengli.

”This guy definitely hasn’t refined a single pill, and he learned some patter from somewhere and is acting all arrogant here.”

”Humph, just a mere Mortal Realm cultivator. Even if he has some accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao, he can’t be this arrogant, can he?”

”Just wait and see. If he can’t refine it, the outcome will be different.”

”Right, daring to take advantage of the young miss, he must be tired of living!”

These words reached Su Han’s ears without any disguise. It was as if he hadn’t heard them, with his palm extended flatly, a gentle force slowly lifting the pill so it floated in the void not far from his hand.

Shen Mengli and the others were staring intensely at Su Han. They didn’t want Su Han to use some fraudulent method to make them misunderstand the Alchemy Dao.

”Zing!”

A moment later, a flame suddenly emerged from Su Han’s hand.

This flame was merely a normal red color, identical to regular flames, without any trace of the Fire Attribute Law.

”Not even using a pill furnace?” Shen Mengli frowned even deeper.

In her gaze, the Fire Spirit Pill was still slowly rotating, as the flame calmly burned.

The entire process seemed as if it would continue indefinitely.

Until a long time later, someone sneered, ”Great Pill Master, you might not know that a pill containing the Fire Attribute Law can’t be melted by ordinary flames.”

”Hahaha...”

Upon hearing this, laughter erupted immediately.

”Silence!”

Shen Mengli turned and glared at them, scolding, ”Regardless of the truth in his words, a pill master during the pill refining process deserves respect and should not be disturbed.”

”Yes...”

Those people hurriedly responded, but their gaze toward Su Han was still filled with ridicule and disdain.

It was at this moment that Su Han suddenly spoke, ”The roasting of the flame is to quickly adapt this pill, which has already cooled. If directly heated with excessive temperature, it will cause the pill to crack.”

Shen Mengli couldn’t help nodding, as her mentor had also said this before.

”Whoosh!”

As Su Han’s words fell, the ordinary flame in his hand suddenly turned dark red, and with a sound, it enlarged, completely enveloping the pill.

Under this wrapping, the pits on the pill immediately increased, indicating that this pill was about to melt, turning back into the liquid form it once coagulated from.

”The flame’s temperature must rise abruptly, unexpectedly, to suppress the huge temperature difference within the pill, turning the pill into a liquid.”

A small amount of liquid slowly flowed down from the pill, as if it were candy melting under a scorching temperature.

”When all the pill liquid has melted, it must be enveloped by an even stronger flame without any errors. If external air invades, even Spiritual Energy will cause the pill liquid to solidify quickly due to the drastic temperature difference between the flame and the outside. This seemingly ordinary air is equivalent to ice for the current pill liquid.”

Su Han said, ”Transforming a pill into a liquid is more complicated than coagulating liquid into a pill.”

”Boom!”

As he spoke, the flame in his hand rose again, and the dark red turned to a shade of purple.

”This is...”

Seeing the purple flame, Shen Mengli’s pupils involuntarily contracted.

The people behind her who initially sneered couldn’t help but change their facial expressions.

Fire Attribute Law!

From that deep purple flame, they could clearly feel the presence of the Fire Attribute Law.

”Many people mistakenly believe that when refining this Fire Spirit Pill, the Fire Attribute Law should be infused at the moment the pill forms. But in fact, it’s in the pill liquid state that the Fire Attribute Law should be integrated, as it allows for more comprehensive coverage, enabling those who consume the Fire Spirit Pill to gain more insight into the Fire Attribute Law.”

Su Han spoke again, ”Of course, it doesn’t mean others are wrong. The Alchemy Dao is vast, and everyone’s path is different. But if we were to decide who’s right, without a doubt, the one who refines pills with the best effect is right!”

At the moment he finished speaking, the deep purple flames suddenly entered the pill liquid. Shen Mengli watched as a flame rising was reflected within the pill liquid.

”How is this possible?!”

Shen Mengli retreated a few steps, her mouth agape, her face full of shock.

”Impossible, this is impossible...”

She muttered to herself, eyes fixed on the liquid in Su Han’s hand.

It was clearly just pill liquid!

But how could there be flames rising within the pill liquid?

Pill liquid is a form of water, and water extinguishes fire. Every cultivator knows this; shouldn’t the flame extinguish upon entering?

How... could it still exist!!!
