Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 67 The Touching Story of Old Man Wei

Refining medicine, this seemingly simple cauldron of flame, contains endless mysteries and profound secrets.

This involves not only the selection and combination of medicinal materials, but also the meticulous control over the heat, time, and fighting spirit.

Every tiny movement, every breath, directly affects the quality and success or failure of the final elixir.

Therefore, he never dared to slack off in the slightest, and he was fully focused and devoted himself to every single time he refined medicine.

As time went by, the medicinal liquid inside the cauldron gradually became clear and transparent, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

However, at that moment, the flames inside the cauldron suddenly became extremely intense, as if they were about to devour everything.

His eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's as he focused intently on controlling the heat, his hands moving in the air like playing a zither, regulating the flow of his battle qi.

He knew in his heart that the timing was crucial at this moment; the slightest mistake could ruin everything.

But just as the elixir was about to take shape, a deafening roar suddenly came from inside the cauldron, like thunder exploding between heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, the cauldron shook violently, as if it were about to explode.

The force was so powerful that it seemed to overturn the entire platform.

The old man's expression changed. He quickly withdrew his fighting spirit, forcefully pushed open the lid of the cauldron with both hands, and then retreated rapidly.

Then, a huge burst of energy erupted from the cauldron, overturning everything around it, and black smoke and dust filled the air.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the medicine cauldron was still standing there.

However, the pill that was about to take shape had vanished without a trace.

The old man stood frozen in place upon seeing this scene, a sense of indescribable loss welling up within him.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Elder Wei, the art of alchemy is inherently full of variables, and failure is common. You don't need to worry about it too much."

Jiang Xing, who was watching from a distance, witnessed the entire process of the cauldron exploding. Seeing the old man's state, he came over and comforted him.

This old man, named Wei Jian, is one of the two eighth-grade alchemists in the Jiang family.

Wei Jian had watched Jiang Xing grow up, and they got along well, which is why Jiang Xing came to him to refine the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill.

Wei Jian looked up at Jiang Xing's young and determined face, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Wei Jian had mixed feelings of love and hate towards Jiang Xing, who frequently came to him for medicine concoctions.

He resented it because, as an eighth-grade alchemist, Jiang Xing often asked him to refine low-level pills, which made him very depressed.

Love is natural because when he fails to refine medicine, Jiang Xing can always comfort and encourage him like this.

As an eighth-grade alchemist, Wei Jian had failed countless times in alchemy, so he was naturally able to take it in stride.

The disappointment just now was simply because the pill was almost complete, and it was a real pity that it failed.

After adjusting his mindset, Wei Jian finally spoke to Jiang Xing, "Tell me, what kind of pill do you want to refine this time?"

Wei Jian didn't believe Jiang Xing would come looking for him for no reason.

Seeing Wei Jian's straightforwardness, Jiang Xing rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"Hehe, Elder Wei, I'd like to ask you to help me refine a pill."

As soon as Jiang Xing finished speaking, Wei Jian immediately said, "No time!"

Jiang Xing: ? ? I was just comforting you, and this is how you treat me?

However, Jiang Xing knew that Wei Jian had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he wasn't angry.

He took out the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill recipe and the materials needed for refining directly from his storage ring and handed them to Wei Jian.

"This is a elixir for nourishing the fetus from my family. I'm not comfortable entrusting it to others to refine, so I'm asking Elder Wei to help refine it."

Of course, Jiang Xing didn't forget to compliment Wei Jian as well.

Wei Jian was indeed pleased with Jiang Xing's words.

He stopped pretending and took the prescription to read it.

He attended Jiang Xing's wedding and knew that Jiang Xing's wife was pregnant.

At the wedding, he also gave away a lot of medicine to help with pregnancy.

Upon hearing Jiang Xing say that he was going to make a nourishing formula for his newlywed wife to help with the fetus, Wei Jian took the formula and began to look through it.

Upon seeing the description of the elixir as "a seventh-grade elixir," Wei Jian nodded.

He wasn't afraid that Jiang Xing would give him seventh or eighth-grade pills to refine, but he was afraid that Jiang Xing would waste his talents by making him refine fifth or sixth-grade pills, or even lower-grade pills.

After reading the recipe for the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, Wei Jian felt that the pill was not difficult to refine.

So he said to Jiang Xing, "Okay, I'll have someone send it to you in two days."

Not wanting Jiang Xing to bother him again, he decided to have someone deliver the pills to him after he finished refining them.

"Okay, thank you, Professor Wei!"

Wei Jian waved to Jiang Xing, indicating that Jiang Xing could leave.

However, Jiang Xing did not leave, but instead handed another storage ring to Wei Jian.

Wei Jian looked exasperated.

"You want to refine other pills too? Can't you just tell me all at once?!"

Jiang Xing said mysteriously, "It's not for refining pills. Elder Wei, take a look and see what's inside."

Upon hearing that it wasn't about refining pills, Wei Jian looked on with suspicion.

He took the storage ring and probed into it with his soul power like a fine thread.

Inside the storage ring, Wei Jian was shocked by this scene.

Inside the storage ring, countless pill formulas were densely packed, like ancient scrolls, exuding a mysterious aura. Wei Jian couldn't wait to flip through these formulas.

After spending a little time scanning through these prescriptions, Wei Jian's eyes flashed with ecstasy and shock. He could hardly believe his eyes and could barely control his heartbeat.

The pill formulas in the storage ring were naturally obtained by Jiang Xing from Yao Chen, and had been gathering dust for him.

Now it's a good time to give it to Wei Jian, so that they can shine and make the old man happy too.

Alchemists don't easily pass on their pill formulas. Many of the pill formulas that Yao Chen possesses are ones that even Wei Jian doesn't have.

Wei Jian took a deep breath and carefully withdrew his soul power. He looked up at Jiang Xing standing in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"These pill formulas..." Wei Jian's voice trembled slightly, as if he was afraid that if he raised his voice, he would shatter this beautiful illusion.

It's no wonder Wei Jian was so excited when he saw these prescriptions.

For alchemists, pill formulas are like maps to a treasure trove, the most precious treasures they pursue throughout their lives.

Jiang Xing explained with a smile, "These pill formulas are ones I collected by chance during my years of training abroad. I knew Elder Wei would like them, so I brought them to you first. I didn't even show them to Elder Luo."

Old Luo was another eighth-grade alchemist in the Jiang family. He was a close friend of Wei Jian, and the two had been rivals for their entire lives.

Although he knew that these pill formulas would eventually be shown to Old Man Luo, Wei Jian still felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Jiang Xing's words.

"You little brat..."

At this moment, Wei Jian was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Xing said with a grin, "Elder Wei, you should study these pill formulas carefully. You can show them off to Elder Luo later."
