Chapter 428 Poaching

Another day passed. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes slightly, muttering the name of the elixir softly. His mind was constantly turning over the various methods of refining the elixir and some things that needed attention. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the alchemy furnace.

Huo Yuhao took a few deep breaths and quickly cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts. He flicked his fingers and a ray of crimson-gold mysterious flame appeared at his fingertips. With a flick of his fingertips, the flames flashed out and finally rushed into the medicine cauldron in front of him. In an instant, they turned into a blazing flame and burned inside.

The scorching heat, even though isolated by the alchemy furnace, still seeped out, causing the temperature of the air to slowly rise.

Ignoring the rising temperature around him, Huo Yuhao stared at the alchemy furnace without blinking. After a moment, he touched his waist with his fingers, and a green thorny fruit that emitted a faint rich fragrance fell into his hand.

Glancing at the Qingming Fruit, one of the main ingredients for refining the Qingming Shoudan, Huo Yuhao could feel the rich vitality from it.

Holding the Qingming Fruit lightly in his hand, Huo Yuhao flicked his finger after a moment and without hesitation shot it into the alchemy furnace, where it was engulfed by the blazing red flames.

Spiritual power spread out from the Eye of Destiny and finally invaded the alchemy furnace. It concentrated on controlling the changes in the temperature and paying attention to the movement of the Qingming Fruit.

Under the domineering dragon fire of the Red Gold Mysterious Flame, even the hardest medicinal herbs will surrender in the shortest time, and the Qingming Fruit is no exception.

Although the flames were blocked for a moment by relying on the vitality contained in it, when Huo Yuhao's mind moved, the flames roared, and traces of milky white juice slowly overflowed from the Qingming Fruit.

As the red-gold mysterious flame slowly evaporated, more and more milky white juice flowed out of it, and finally formed a liquid ball half the size of a palm below it.

With his eyes fixed on the medicine cauldron, about half an hour later, Huo Yuhao changed his hand seals, and the flame in the alchemy furnace gradually slowed down. The Qingming Fruit in it had completely dissipated, and was replaced by a ball of milky white liquid emitting vitality.

Looking at the ball of milky white liquid, Huo Yuhao did not dare to relax. Under the scorching temperature that continued to rise, the palm-sized milky white liquid was gradually shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. As its volume shrank, its color became darker and darker. In the end, it almost looked like a white pearl.

Seeing that there were no accidents in the refining of the Qingming Fruit, Huo Yuhao did not pause at all. He waved his hand and another herb came over, and finally threw it into the medicine cauldron.

As time went by, Huo Yuhao continuously threw herbs into the medicine cauldron. As a result, more and more pure medicinal powers began to appear in the medicine cauldron. Huo Yuhao's expression became more and more solemn. All his mental strength swept out, tightly wrapping every medicinal power in the alchemy furnace. Finally, he controlled them at the required temperatures and slowly refined them.

Kong Deming, who was standing by, was slightly dazed when he saw Huo Yuhao's peculiar yet profound refining technique. Is this kid really refining a pill for the first time?
When Huo Yuhao was concentrating, his palms also danced out afterimages. Under his control, the temperature of the flame in the medicine cauldron was sometimes high and sometimes low. The complicated changes made Kong Deming on the side stunned. How much mental control power is needed to control the flame to this extent?
The medicinal materials drew arcs in the air and were finally thrown into the alchemy furnace. Under the blazing red flames, they turned into medicinal powder and liquid needed to refine the pill.

After nearly a day and a night of tedious refining, a pill prototype with an uneven surface finally began to appear in the medicine cauldron. As the pill prototype took shape, a strong vitality spread out from it. Huo Yuhao took a light breath, and the fatigue between his brows slowly faded away.

Even Kong Deming who was standing by took a big sip of it without any manner. The faint fragrance of the elixir was so wonderful that just by sniffing it a little, he felt as if he had become a lot younger.

“It’s worthy of being a miraculous elixir that can extend one’s lifespan…” Huo Yuhao marveled in his heart. This elixir that can extend one’s lifespan is probably extremely rare even if you look at the entire Douluo Continent. After all, unless one truly becomes a god, everyone will have a moment when their lifespan is about to end.

If you can break through during this period, your lifespan will naturally increase. But if you cannot break through, then no matter you are a Super Douluo or an Extreme Douluo, you still have to be buried obediently. At this moment, a pill that can increase your lifespan will infinitely highlight its preciousness.

With this pill, the soul master might be able to successfully break through during the extended time of several years. Then, not only would his life span be greatly increased, but his strength would also be greatly improved!

Therefore, elixirs that can increase lifespan are as popular in Douluo Continent as elixirs that can directly increase strength. In some ways, they are even more precious than elixirs that can increase strength.

After all, prescriptions for elixirs that can directly improve strength are not uncommon, but prescriptions that can increase longevity are extremely rare. In the entire continent, people who possess prescriptions for elixirs that can increase longevity are probably rare.

As Huo Yuhao’s thoughts turned over, the uneven prototype of the pill gradually became round under the slow roasting of the red flame, and a strong pill fragrance emanated from it... "Is it finally going to succeed?" Looking at the milky white pill slowly rolling in the flames, Huo Yuhao felt a slight excitement in his heart, but he did not dare to relax at all. He continued to increase his mental control and watched any changes in the pill.

If at this time, the pill was destroyed due to some accident, then Huo Yuhao’s first attempt at alchemy would really end in failure.

Under Huo Yuhao's careful maintenance, the luster on the surface of the milky white pill became more and more intense. About half an hour later, the pill suddenly trembled, and then a powerful energy ripple emerged out of thin air, spreading wildly like water waves.

Energy ripples spread out and finally hit the inner wall of the alchemy furnace, making a series of crisp bell-like sounds.

“This, this is…” Kong Deming almost dropped his jaw in shock. There was no doubt that what Huo Yuhao was refining now was definitely not an ordinary elixir. Perhaps elixirs of this grade had never appeared in the entire history of Douluo Continent.

The sound of the bell gradually weakened, and the milky white pill in the medicine cauldron suddenly released a dazzling light. Then, wrapped in a white light, it forcibly broke through the alchemy furnace and flew out.

“This Qingming Shoudan is indeed extraordinary. It was thinking about escaping when it was born…” Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the behavior of this pill, then smiled and shook his head.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and a suction force directly sucked the flying white light into his hand, then he took out the jade bottle and stuffed it in.

As the pill was stuffed into the jade bottle, it slowly became quiet. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled with satisfaction and took a deep breath. This time of refining the pill really consumed a lot of his energy.

Glancing at Kong Deming, whose eyes were about to bulge out, Huo Yuhao smiled lightly, then handed the jade bottle to him with both hands.

"What do you mean?" Kong Deming was shocked when he saw Huo Yuhao's actions. Then he guessed something and asked in a deep voice.

“Thanks to Master Kong’s guidance, I was able to refine the elixir in one go this time. I will give this Qingming Shoudan to Master Kong as a thank you gift.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Oh? I wonder what the effect of the elixir refined by the Demon King is. I have never heard of your previous method." Old Kong did not take it immediately, but asked with a smile.

“This pill can extend a person’s lifespan by nearly ten years. A person can only take one pill in their lifetime. The effect is not that great, but it’s just a token of my appreciation.” Huo Yuhao knew what the old fox had noticed and directly explained the pill’s effect.

"ten years!"

Hearing this, Kong Deming's mouth twitched. You know, the maximum lifespan of a Titled Douluo is only a few hundred years. A decade is of great significance to them.

Moreover, he was not surprised by Huo Yuhao's description, and might even be too conservative. Just by inhaling some of the fragrance of the elixir, he felt a lot younger.

Of course, what Huo Yuhao didn’t know was that the information Senior Xiao Huohuo left in the pill formula was estimated according to another world, and the ten years in different worlds were different.

Kong Deming took a deep breath. He knew that Huo Yuhao's action was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill to him. Although he had chosen to surrender under intimidation, how could an old man who had lived for hundreds of years betray his country so easily?

What Huo Yuhao wants is undoubtedly all the value of him as the father of soul guides!
Will Kong Deming surrender? Don't take many things for granted. It is impossible to bribe an old man who has devoted hundreds of years to the country with just one pill.
