Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 1367 Bidan
As several pills flew out, a blue light suddenly appeared in the alchemy room.

What flew out were five pills with a hazy blue light, and one of them had a brighter blue light than the other four.

Ye Xuan grabbed five pills with one hand. He took a closer look, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "One is of perfect quality, and four are of top quality. That should be enough..."

The elixir that was originally supposed to be of low-quality suddenly became high-quality, even perfect. The reason for this, needless to say, was naturally the effect of Ye Xuan's Taigu Devouring Technique.

This is a 'new usage' that Ye Xuan has discovered while studying the medical classics over the past six months.

The test of the quality of a medicine is mainly its purity, and as Ye Xuan's practice of the Ancient Devouring Art continues to improve, he has now been able to devour in great detail.

All paths converge into one, and every alchemist has his own unique method of making pills, which is often related to his own martial arts skills. Ye Xuan used the devouring power of his own ancient devouring technique to extract the impurities from the pill before it was made.

And a few days ago, when Ye Xuan was detoxifying Lu Yu, he also used his devouring technique in conjunction with the medical methods in the Holy Book of Medicine.

However, the 'devouring' magical power is Ye Xuan's biggest secret, which must never be exposed and must be handled with extreme caution.

……

After feeling pleased with himself, Ye Xuan put away the five pills in his hand and began to refine the third batch of Lingyun Pills.

After a while, the third batch of pills was also finished. The situation was still the same. When the pills were finished, most of them were just low-grade and mixed pills. Ye Xuan once again used the ancient swallowing technique, and when the pills came out of the furnace, they were all high-grade. The reason why they were "only" high-grade was because when Ye Xuan was extracting impurities, he failed to control and stabilize the source of the pill for a moment, causing some spiritual power of the pill to overflow and be swallowed away.

Ye Xuan didn't care about it. On the contrary, if he was stupid enough to refine all the pills into perfect quality, that would be too exaggerated and would easily arouse other people's suspicion.

Another six top-grade Lingyun Pills came out of the furnace. Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at the timer next to him, and found that the time was just right, and the half-day limit was about to expire.

After putting away the alchemy furnace, Ye Xuan silently comprehended the previous alchemy process, and then walked out at the end time...

After walking out of the alchemy room, Ye Xuan found that there were already many people waiting in the hall outside, and he seemed to be the last one to come out.

Most of the people in the hall were gathered in twos and threes, talking to each other. Some looked excited and some looked disappointed. The situation was similar to a group of candidates who had just walked out of the examination room. After Ye Xuan came out, some people turned their heads to look at him, and some of them seemed to have a mocking or disdainful look in their eyes.

"Brother Lin! You finally came out!" Fei Biao walked towards Ye Xuan enthusiastically and asked with concern, "Why did it take so long? Was it not going well? How many pills did you refine?"

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "It's not bad. One furnace was scrapped, and the other two furnaces were not full. A total of eleven finished pills were refined. How about you, Brother Fei?"

“Eleven, so many…” Fei Biao was shocked when he heard that, then sighed, “I’m a little bit worse than you. Although I also scrapped a furnace, I only refined seven finished pills. Most of them are low-quality, but there is one that is medium-quality, so it should be qualified…”

"Humph! They only refined three batches of Ling Yun Dan and one batch was scrapped. With this level of skill, they are really not afraid of embarrassing themselves! They are really two losers together!"

At this time, a handsome middle-aged man in white came over and spoke sarcastically with disdain. His voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of other people who had not paid attention to this side.

Fei Biao's face was furious. "Di Xuan, why are you so arrogant? It's as if your alchemy skills are much better than ours."

The handsome middle-aged man named Di Xuan curled his lips and said proudly, "How much smarter are you? The difference between you and me is the difference between the bright moon and the firefly!"

Ye Xuan's eyes moved and he glanced at the man indifferently.

At this moment, two old men walked in from the entrance of the hall. They were the two immortal elders of Ruquan Palace.

"Elder Wen, Elder Guo." The fat-headed and big-eared Hedan Master immediately stood up, walked forward, bowed to the two elders, and then said, "Elder Wen, everyone has finished refining the elixir on time."

"Yes." Wen Mochen nodded slightly and said, "Let them bring up the refined pills one by one. After the three of us check them together, we will decide which ones to stay."

"Yes." He Huaishan responded, then walked over to Ye Xuan and the others and said, "Line up and come forward one by one to get the pills tested."

……

Afterwards, a dozen or so examinees began to line up and present the pills they had just refined to the two elders and Master He for inspection.

"Well, I actually refined twenty pills, and three of them reached the middle grade. Not bad! Not bad!" When Di Xuan took out his pills, the two old men's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and they looked at Di Xuan with approval.

Everyone was amazed, this Di Xuan was truly a master of alchemy.

Soon, it was Fei Biao and Ye Xuan's turn. Fei Biao nervously presented the elixir he had refined. The two elders looked at it without even blinking. Master He simply said, "When tempering the Frost Essence Grass, don't temper it too harshly. The tempering of the Spirit Moon Flower needs to be more detailed. You have passed the test."

"Thank you, Master Dan, for your guidance!" Fei Biao said excitedly when he heard this.

After Fei Biao left, it was Ye Xuan's turn. He stepped forward, took out two pill bottles and handed them over, saying, "This is the Lingyun Pill that I refined this time. Please have a look, elders and Master He."

“Hmm…Huh?!”

Wen Mochen and Guo Mingxian didn't care much at first, but when the pill bottle was handed to them, they both raised their eyebrows at the same time, and a hint of doubt seemed to flash in their eyes. Then they both attacked at the same time, reaching for the pill bottle in Ye Xuan's right hand.

Wen Mochen was half a second faster, so he "grabbed" the pill bottle. After getting it, he immediately pulled out the cork and poured the pills inside into the palm of his right hand.

Five pills rolled out of the bottle, and suddenly a blue light burst out, like the glow of stars in the night sky. At the same time, an incomparably pure and refreshing fragrance immediately spread out, and almost everyone who smelled it was refreshed.

When they saw these five pills, Wen Mochen and Guo Mingxian both widened their eyes at the same time, as if they were greatly shocked, and were actually stunned for a moment.

After a few breaths, they both blurted out at the same time: "Five top-grade pills!"
