When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 145 Six Yang Profound Fire, Terrifyingly Powerful

A colossal Dharma form suddenly appeared, grabbing the handle of the bronze cauldron and lifting it up by force.

Its towering five-meter-tall body left everyone present in awe.

Yun Yan, who was watching from the Danxia Tower, gripped the wheelchair handles tightly.

“He’s stronger than before…” Yun Yan said through gritted teeth.

Compared to five months ago, Bai Ze's Dharma form is now more solid and imposing. The upper body alone is five meters tall. It is unknown whether Bai Ze can condense the lower body now.

If Yun Yan, whom I've personally witnessed, is like this, then it's no wonder that others are too.

Even the owner of the twelfth floor who was present looked astonished upon seeing this scene.

"Such powerful skill! This is hardly the work of a three-star martial artist." Sima Ming covered half of his face with a feather fan, revealing only his eyes, to hide the astonishment on his face.

"He's three stars?" Xu Kaicheng leaned closer and asked.

“It’s a Samsung, and I can see its immense vitality,” Sima Ming said.

"Do you think he can beat that guy Wei?" Xu Kaicheng asked again.

"You ask me who can win? Of course I'd say Bai Ze can win," Sima Ming said calmly.

"So confident?" Xu Kaicheng's expression showed even deeper surprise. "What if Bai Ze loses?"

Sima Ming smiled but remained silent.

If he loses, then let him drop out of school and get lost.

Someone who can't even see the outcome clearly, yet still dares to confront the president of the Alchemy Club, should just drop out of school as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble for the Astronomy Club.

Sima Ming maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the person Mu Yaoguang had chosen, neither getting too close nor deliberately distancing himself.

He would personally get involved in the affairs of the Alchemy Society, but he wouldn't selflessly clean up Bai Ze's messes.

There's no need to say more of these things to the barbarians who are practicing the system.

"Sounds mysterious and rambling." Xu Kaicheng scoffed at Sima Ming's appearance.

In the center of the square, the bronze cauldron landed with a resounding thud. Amidst the dust it stirred up, Wei Changqing's expression was stern. "Arrogant."

He gave this assessment once again.

The art of alchemy, which originated from another world, has been circulating in this world for decades and has seen considerable development.

The combination of scientific concepts and Daoist alchemy led to the development of Daoist alchemy in a direction different from that of the otherworld.

Through the analysis of alchemy methods, some skilled alchemists are even able to refine low-level pills using a rice cooker.

At an even more advanced level, there is molecular pharmacology.

Applying the concept of molecular gastronomy to alchemy, and using scientific principles from physics, chemistry, and biology to conduct scientific alchemy.

Even twenty years ago, Taiqing Pharmaceutical was already able to mass-produce low-grade pills on an assembly line.

However, high-level pills still need to be made using ancient methods from another world, because high-level pills not only require materials, but also the addition of vital energy. That's why Wei Changqing brought out a medicine cauldron instead of a bunch of scientific instruments.

In the ancient alchemy methods of this other world, the cauldron is of great importance. Bai Ze casually picked up a bronze cauldron that was just for decoration, which clearly showed that he believed his strength was greater than Wei Changqing's.

This bronze cauldron looks quite impressive, but it's actually just a basic medicine cauldron, far inferior to Wei Changqing's Crimson Sun Cauldron.

If the bronze tripod were of high quality, why would Danxia Tower place it outside?
Do you really think there are no thieves in Yujing Wuda?
Putting everything else aside, guys like those from Muscle Club are definitely capable of stealing the cauldron.

“You’ll regret underestimating me,” Wei Changqing said coldly.

"Senior, you've misunderstood. I take this competition very seriously."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze said innocently, "I spent ten minutes specifically looking through the alchemy textbook for Senior Ying."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai almost lost control of his expression.

You're fine with looking at a beginner's textbook, but you only watched it for ten minutes?
Thinking about this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but wonder if Bai Ze intended to act like a Silu person and use underhanded tactics.

The question is, how will they use underhanded tactics?

Before Jiang Xiaobai could think much, the student council disciplinary committee member, acting as a witness, announced: "This competition will be witnessed by the student council disciplinary committee. If Wei Changqing loses, he will relinquish his position as president of the Alchemy Club. If Bai Ze loses, he will withdraw from Yujing Martial Arts University and kneel down to apologize to the Alchemy Club."

"The relevant materials for this competition were provided by the Department of Medicine."

As he spoke, the disciplinary committee member looked to the right side of the square, where a man and a woman were standing.

The woman was wearing a white dress and had a beautiful face, while the man was wearing a loose-fitting long robe and holding a pipe that is rarely seen in modern times.

He took a light puff, exhaled smoke carrying the aroma of medicine, and said, "The Hundred Herbs Society has brought instruments to test the quality of elixirs. Also, although Wei Changqing is a medical student, we don't get along, so there's no need to worry about our vice president cheating for him."

Upon hearing the young man's words, the woman in the white dress next to him couldn't help but frown, but she didn't say anything more.

The Herbalists Society is also one of the Twelve Towers. Like the Alchemy Society, it comes from the Department of Medicine. One of these two societies focuses on treating illnesses and researching medicines, while the other is dedicated to alchemy. Although they come from the same department, they are not particularly close because of their different directions.

However, the fact that the vice president of the Hundred Herbs Society is Yun Shu's girlfriend makes one somewhat uneasy.

Since the president of the Hundred Herbs Society has said so, no one else will raise any objections.

This time, it wasn't just the students who were paying attention to the competition, but also the professors, especially Professor Ye from the Department of I Ching, who had heard that he highly valued Bai Ze and had taken the initiative to extend an invitation.

Trying to play dirty tricks under someone's watchful eye is just asking for trouble.

"Now, let's announce the rules of the fight."

The disciplinary committee member continued, "This competition will use the Dan-Dan method. Do either of you have any objections?"

“I have no objection,” Wei Changqing said first.

“I have no objection either,” Bai Ze said.

Although he still needed to cram at the last minute and study the basic textbooks, he still had some understanding of the Dan Dan method.

These are rules published by the Wanji Medical Association, a semi-official organization with a status similar to a medical association, specifically for alchemists to compete.

The Wanji Medical Association classifies elixirs into nine grades, with grade nine being the lowest and grade one the highest. Furthermore, it publishes one elixir formula for each of the five grades, from grade five to grade nine.

These elixir formulas are considered the threshold among formulas of the same grade by the Wanji Medical Association. Only those who can refine the published elixirs can obtain the corresponding alchemist title awarded by the Wanji Medical Association.

For example, a ninth-grade alchemist needs to refine pills according to the ninth-grade pill formula published by the Wanji Medical Association, and the same applies to an eighth-grade alchemist.

The Pill-Refining Competition involves refining pills starting from the ninth grade. Each pill refined is compared with others, and those of inferior quality can choose to continue the competition and refine pills of a higher grade.

They continue to advance step by step until one side fails in their alchemy, thus determining the winner.

If both parties fail to refine pills of the same grade, the ranking will be determined by the quality of the pills of the next higher grade.

This kind of contest can fully demonstrate the alchemist's level, including basic skills, strength and other aspects. Whether the loser is convinced or not is unknown, but the result is the most convincing to others.

After obtaining the consent of both parties, the disciplinary committee member dressed in black solemnly announced: "The battle of dan begins."

The first round of alchemy competition – Grade 9 pill, the Qi-regulating pill.

Members of the Herbal Medicine Society quickly brought the corresponding herbs to both sides, and Wei Changqing started working almost before all the herbs were moved.

He stretched out his palm and urged his true energy out of his body, which fell into the crimson cauldron and transformed into a ball of raging fire.

Then, without turning his head, Wei Changqing reached out and grabbed the corresponding herbs, then threw them directly into the medicine cauldron without processing them.

“He directly transforms his true qi into fire. Wei Changqing’s Six Yang Profound Fire Scripture is becoming more and more refined, and he even uses fire to refine it… Tsk tsk, he looks angry, but he hasn’t lost his mind at all, and he doesn’t underestimate the super freshmen at all.” Sima Ming said leisurely, waving his feather fan.

In alchemy, there is a technique called fire refining, which involves directly creating flames, adding medicinal herbs into them, refining their medicinal properties, and burning away impurities.

Generally speaking, this is a skill that only a sixth-grade alchemist can use, and it also requires profound fire-attribute true qi. Using it to refine ninth-grade pills is undoubtedly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

In contrast, there is the basic cauldron refining.

A fire is lit under the cauldron, and the prepared herbs are placed into the cauldron to refine the elixir.

Even if you can't generate fire with true qi, you can still achieve the same result using ordinary flames.

Like——

Another one.

A light screen illuminated Bai Ze, allowing him to find the corresponding herbs according to the prescription, either tearing them up or juicing them, processing them one by one.

He transformed his internal energy in his hands, and even without tools, he was able to process the herbs.

This is the process... Hmm... Although the circulation of internal energy looks very cool, your alchemy skills seem a bit low.

Bai Ze was even muttering to himself, as if he couldn't remember the elixir formula.

“Crush the yellow blood grass.”

"Angelica root, sliced ​​thinly."

"besides······"

As Bai Ze chanted, his transformed internal energy processed the herbs with precision and speed, like a heartless pharmaceutical machine.

At the same time, he flipped his palm and pushed it out, and a ball of flames surged out from his palm, igniting a fire under the bronze cauldron.

"He actually mastered the transformation of vital energy so quickly." Sima Ming raised an eyebrow.

Having only practiced the "General Introduction to the Great Yi" for a few hours, he was already able to transform his own Qi into Flame Qi. This genius's reputation was well-deserved.

After the bronze cauldron was preheated, Bai Ze's processing of the herbs was also completed.

He added the herbs exactly as prescribed.

"First add the yellow blood grass, and quickly simmer over high heat. After three minutes, add twenty grams of angelica root..."

Bai Ze circled the bronze cauldron, throwing medicine and adding water as he went.

The internal energy is very powerful, but the technical beauty of Daoist alchemy is not apparent.

"Finally, put the lid on and let it sit for ten minutes."

The internal energy transforms into a lid, which is then placed directly on top.

Ten minutes later, the lid was opened, and a phantom hand reached directly into the cauldron, scooped out the medicinal mud, and kneaded it into pill shape.

In TV dramas, it's common to see several pills appear immediately after the alchemy cauldron is opened. However, in reality, if we don't consider the possibility of secretly shaping the pills with qi, what you actually produce when refining pills is just mud. To turn them into pills, you have to knead them yourself.

Once the large hand finished its work, a dark brown pill fell into Bai Ze's hand.

He took the pill and went to test it.

On one side of the square, a white instrument has already been set up.

Wei Changqing had already conducted the test. He placed the Qi-regulating pill into a transparent frame, and beams of yellow light flashed within it. The quality of the pill was displayed on a screen above the frame.

"Nine-grade Qi-regulating pills, of excellent quality."

The screen emitted a sound. Wei Changqing took out the Qi-regulating pill, glanced indifferently at the pill in Bai Ze's hand, and gave up his seat.

"Wei Changqing's alchemy skills are indeed the best among the students; he has refined the ninth-grade Qi-regulating pill to its highest level. As for Bai Ze—"

The president of the Hundred Herbs Society watched the two conduct the tests from afar. He glanced at Bai Ze's pills and judged their quality immediately. "The pills he refined are not bad, but they are not as good as Wei Changqing's. His pill refining process is too standardized. It has no inspiration at all. It's like a machine on an assembly line."

At this point, President Baicao showed a regretful expression, "I thought this super freshman would give me some surprises."

The girl in the white dress beside him remained calm, but upon hearing these words, a subtle hint of relaxation appeared in her eyes.

"Nine-grade Qi-regulating pills, of superior quality."

The instrument provided an evaluation of Bai Ze's elixir.

"Shh-"

The members of the Alchemy Society immediately booed, and some even mocked, "We thought he was some kind of expert, but it turns out he's just a low-quality person."

"I can also refine high-quality breathing pills."

"Ha ha ha ha······"

After the results were announced, the sense of pressure brought by the super freshmen was immediately swept away.

The Qi-regulating Pill can be considered the lowest grade of elixir. Members of the Alchemy Society are generally capable of refining high-grade pills, and those who manage to refine medium-grade pills are usually just making a mistake by chance.

"Is this all there is to being a super freshman?"

"That's it."

Not only members of the Alchemy Society, but even other people mocked them.

In a short time, Bai Ze witnessed just how many fans Yun Shu had at Yujing Martial Arts University.

There are three clubs on the twelfth floor that belong to his side, among which the Martial Arts Club is the largest club and has the most members.

The Wenhua Society is a literature-focused club that advocates the integration of literary and martial arts. Although it is not the strongest among the twelve buildings, it still has considerable influence due to its literary talent and appealing appearance.

As for the Alchemy Society, it goes without saying; having resources gives them confidence.

Therefore, although Manjushri of the twelfth floor only occupies a quarter of the area, his influence is definitely not small.

'This level is alright, but it's still far inferior to mine.'

Looking at the Qi-boosting pill, Wei Changqing thought to himself, 'Even if you're a peerless genius, you can't be proficient in everything.'

So, you will win.

Bai Ze listened to the increasingly loud mocking voices, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply said, "Continue."

The disciplinary committee member announced, "The second round of alchemy competition begins."

The second round of alchemy competition – the eighth-grade pill, Zengyuan Pill.

This is a elixir that strengthens the body's foundation and replenishes vital energy, suitable for two-star martial artists to train their bodies.

Wei Changqing used fire refining again, and the alchemy process was incredibly smooth.

Bai Ze continued with the standard procedure, following the instructions in the prescription step by step.

As for any unique techniques, there are none at all.

Fifty minutes later, the Enhancing Essence Pill was successfully refined.

Wei Changqing's Zengyuan Pill is excellent.

Bai Ze's Enhancing Essence Pill is of superior quality.

As the president of the Alchemy Society, Wei Changqing is indeed a man of real skill. Judging from his appearance, the difficulty of refining an eighth-grade alchemy is no different from that of a ninth-grade alchemy.

As for Bai Ze, he remained the perfect quality, without a trace of inspiration or error in the alchemy process, and his quality control was just right, exactly as recorded in the formula.

The limit recorded in the alchemical formulas is the highest quality. As for the best quality, it depends on the individual's understanding of alchemy and some secret methods to improve the quality.

"Continue," Bai Ze said, his expression unchanged.

The third round of alchemy competition – the seventh-grade elixir, the Life-Giving Elixir.

This time, it lasted for two hours.

Wei Changqing finished refining it in an hour, and spent the remaining hour waiting for Bai Ze.

By the time Bai Ze finished refining the elixir, it was almost evening.

Bathed in the red glow of the setting sun, the instrument produced its results.

Wei Changqing's Life-Saving Pill is of superior quality.

Bai Ze's Life-Giving Pill is of superior quality.

In terms of quality alone, Wei Changqing's pills are actually superior to Bai Ze's, but they are no longer considered excellent; rather, they are of the same high quality as Bai Ze's.

But a gap is a gap, so Bai Ze still lost.

"Continue," Bai Ze said calmly.

This time, Wei Changqing was no longer as confident of victory as before.

Three alchemy attempts, from ninth grade to seventh grade, all yielded superior results...
Bai Ze may be hiding his true strength.

"Could it be that this super freshman is pretending to be weak while actually being strong?" Xu Kaicheng said, stroking his chin.

He didn't understand alchemy, but he could tell that consistently producing high-quality pills was not an easy task.

At least of the seventh-grade pills that Muscle Club receives each month, only a small portion are of superior quality.

"It's also possible that they're gradually crushing Wei Changqing's confidence," Sima Ming said in a low voice, no longer fanning himself, as he watched the alchemy process begin again.

The fourth round of alchemy competition involved refining a sixth-grade elixir, the Taibao Chaoyuan Pill.

At this grade, only martial artists of four stars or above can afford to use it, and the name of the pill is no longer as simple and straightforward as before.

The Taibao Chaoyuan Pill can accelerate the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by a four-star martial artist, and it also has the effect of protecting the meridians. Generally speaking, ordinary cauldrons are not enough to refine this kind of pill.

Because the efficiency is too low.

Of course, if you can produce any divine fire or extraordinary fire, you can refine it however you like.

The grandmasters of alchemy in the Tushita Palace of Taoism always used cauldrons for refining, because the Tushita Purple Fire in the Tushita Palace was too fierce. If they directly applied the fire, the herbs would probably not be able to withstand it and would be burned to ashes.

and so--

Bai Ze looked at the bronze cauldron, clasped his hands together, and gathered a powerful aura in his palms. A red light turned from dark to bright, gradually becoming intense.

"Six Yang Mystic Fire".

Bear!
A fierce light emanated from his palm, and Wei Changqing, who was far away, trembled, almost causing the Six Yang Profound Fire in his hand to fall to the ground.

"how is this possible?"

He suddenly looked at Bai Ze.

The Six Yang Profound Fire—he only managed to cultivate it by practicing the "Six Yang Profound Fire Scripture," how could Bai Ze possibly know it!
Furthermore, Bai Ze is a three-star martial artist; how did he manage to transform his true qi into fire?

unless······
"Unless Bai Ze's internal energy is as pure as true qi."

Sima Ming narrowed his eyes, staring at the ball of flame in Bai Ze's palm. "Even if his cultivation body is not fully formed and he has not broken through to the fourth star, allowing his cultivation body to interact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his qi is no different from true qi."

Bai Ze already possessed the ability to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but because his cultivation was not yet complete and his spirit was not yet condensed, he was unable to condense his inner energy into true qi.

Even so, the purity of his internal energy is now comparable to that of true qi.

Therefore, it is not impossible for Bai Ze to use the Six Yang Mysterious Fire, is it?

“That’s a lie,” Xu Kaicheng exclaimed. “The purity of his internal energy is comparable to that of true qi. As for the cultivation technique, you can’t say that Bai Ze practiced the Six Yang Profound Fire Scripture, can you? That’s a technique that only the Alchemy Society has. Even if you’re from the same school, you can’t exchange for it.”

Most of the twelve societies have maintained their positions at the top for many years, and they naturally possess their own unique skills.

Just like this "Six Yang Profound Fire Scripture," it was created by the former president of the Alchemy Society after graduation and then returned to the original society.

Similar actions have been taken by other clubs, such as the Muscle Club, where Xu Kaicheng is.

If it weren't for the significant influence of the seniors on the club, do you think Xu Kaicheng would want to have such a quirky name as the Muscle Club?

Every time he wanted to change the name of the club, someone would say, "The ancestral rules cannot be changed."

The ancestral method of farting!

Even the president of each student association has to use the same name on the campus forum, which is absolutely amazing.

"If Yao Guang hadn't secretly learned the unique techniques of the Alchemy Society, Bai Ze certainly wouldn't know the Six Yang Profound Fire Scripture. But don't forget, he practiced the Cantong Qi."

Sima Ming stared intently as the ball of fiery true energy flew out of Bai Ze's hand. "As long as he can see through the true energy circulation of the Six Yang Profound Fire, he may be able to imitate this move of True Energy Transforming into Fire."

Yes, as long as Bai Ze can see through Wei Changqing's true qi composition and understand its operation, he will be able to imitate the Six Yang Profound Fire.

But is this possible?
He's only a three-star martial artist; how long has he been in contact with Wei Changqing?

The key point is that he can also see through Wei Changqing's internal energy circulation...

If this speculation is true, then this super-newborn is terrifying.

As the sun gradually set in the west, the sky grew increasingly gloomy, but the burning flames illuminated Bai Ze's figure and face with crystal clarity, casting his shadow as enormous as could be.

It was so large that it seemed to cover Wei Changqing, who was hundreds of meters away, and all the members of the Dan Dao Society.

Bear!
The true energy flames burned in the bronze cauldron, gradually growing stronger and the flames becoming more and more intense.

A massive phantom gradually materialized around Bai Ze's body, continuously drawing in the primordial energy from all directions. The fire elemental energy, in particular, surged towards a giant phantom hand and was then pressed into a bronze cauldron.

"The Taibao Chaoyuan Pill requires three treasures as its base and ten herbs as its supplements. It needs to be refined twelve times to enhance its medicinal properties, so it is best to refine it with fire."

Bai Ze slowly recited the pill formula, and the Dharma image that appeared outside his body stretched out his palm and orderly threw the herbs into the cauldron.

Since it is fire-refining, there is no need to process the herbs; the medicinal power can be extracted directly by using flames.

As for the specific details of the alchemy process, let's leave that to what is said and what is done.

"First, temper it with seven parts martial fire, then switch to gentle fire, combining martial and gentle fire, and repeat this cycle six times."

Bai Ze recited the words slowly and deliberately, while the flames inside the bronze cauldron changed automatically, refining the medicinal properties.

After the twelve tempering processes were completed—

Bai Ze glanced at Wei Changqing when he had a spare moment.

At this moment, Wei Changqing's twelve rounds of medicinal tempering were not yet over.
