Goddess Painting

"Freeze!!"

With a low shout from Qin Feng, the final incantation was cast into the alchemy furnace.

Om-!

The alchemy furnace trembled, and an intensely rich aroma of elixir burst forth!

The furnace lid flew off.

Two round, bright red pills, with flame patterns swirling around their surfaces, floated quietly inside the alchemy furnace!

It's done!!

"Hahaha! I did it!!"

Qin Feng was so excited he almost jumped up.

Although he still doesn't know why he should add fire at this time or why he should pause at that time, he only has a vague understanding of it.

But the result was correct!

That's enough!

This is a typical case of "knowing what but not why", but that doesn't stop him from refining fifth-grade pills!

Time is almost up.

The world in the painting began to appear illusory.

Qin Feng looked at Fairy Yunling, who was still mechanically repeating the alchemy movements, and a complicated feeling rose in his heart.

Although she was a female ghost, and although she was very scary.

But after all, this is his "teacher".

"senior."

Qin Feng walked up to her and said seriously:

"I'm leaving."

"Although I don't know what you went through back then, I will always remember your kindness in passing on your skills."

"Is there... anything else you'd like to say?"

The fairy Yunling abruptly stopped what she was doing.

She slowly turned her head, and a rare flicker of emotion appeared in her deathly gray eyes.

That is……

Qingming Festival?

Or is it a deeper resentment?

Her lips trembled, and she no longer repeated the two sentences, "Why did you hurt me?"

Instead, with extreme difficulty and a hoarse voice, he squeezed out two words from deep within his throat:

"Qin...fate..."

After uttering those two words, her figure instantly disintegrated, turning into countless ink dots and vanishing.

Qin Feng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his consciousness returned to reality.

"Qin's mandate?"

Qin Feng sat on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed, muttering to himself.

"Is this a person's name?"

"His surname is Qin..."

"Could it be related to my Qin family?"

"Or... is it the murderer who killed her?"

There are too few clues to make any deductions.

Qin Feng shook his head, temporarily suppressing this question in his mind.

The most urgent task is to refine elixirs!

……

Half an hour later.

Inside a makeshift alchemy room on the back mountain of Tian Shu Peak.

Bai Ziyu came running in, panting, carrying a purple-gold alchemy furnace that was half his height and a large pile of auxiliary medicinal herbs.

"Master! They're all here!"

"This alchemy furnace was stolen...cough cough, borrowed from my master's treasure vault! It's a low-grade Earth-rank furnace!"

"The auxiliary materials are also the best!"

Bai Ziyu wiped his sweat, looking at Qin Feng in his black robe with worry and hesitation in his eyes:

"Master...you...you really want to refine it yourself?"

"This is a fifth-grade pill!"

"We only have these two Earth Fire Essence plants. If they're ruined... then we're truly finished!"

It wasn't that he didn't believe in his master's medical skills, but it was a completely different field!

Alchemy and healing are two completely different things!

I've never heard of Master being able to refine pills!

And right from the start, it's the fifth-level difficulty "Divine Fire Refining Pill"?

What's the difference between this and a toddler who has just learned to walk trying to learn to fly?

This is utterly ridiculous!

Qin Feng ignored his questioning, merely glancing at him indifferently before taking the alchemy furnace, his tone chillingly calm:

"Shut your mouth."

"Watch closely."

Bai Ziyu had no choice but to shut his mouth in frustration and retreat to a corner, his heart bleeding.

It's over! It's over!

These two precious medicinal herbs are probably going to go down the drain!

Qin Feng sat cross-legged and took a deep breath.

Although I've succeeded in doing it in the drawing, this is the first time I've done it in real life.

We must remain stable!

He cleared his mind of all distractions, and the image of Fairy Yunling's graceful movements appeared in his mind.

"Fire!"

boom!

Qin Feng unleashed a crimson flame from his palm, instantly enveloping the alchemy furnace!

With the blessing of a sacred fire elemental root, the temperature and purity of this flame are simply perfect!

Bai Ziyu's eyes lit up.

"A true expert!"

That skill in controlling fire is something that ordinary people can't do!

Followed by.

Dosing, purification, fusion...

Qin Feng's movements were as fast as lightning, yet as steady as a mountain.

Every handprint, every pause, was so precise it was as if it had been measured with a ruler!

That unique sense of rhythm gave Bai Ziyu a strange feeling.

It was as if the person sitting there was not his master, but a peerless grandmaster who had been immersed in the Dao of Alchemy for hundreds of years!

"This...this technique..."

Bai Ziyu stared in disbelief, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

It's so smooth!

It's perfect!

As time went by, the medicinal fragrance emanating from the alchemy furnace became increasingly rich, even resonating with the surrounding spiritual energy!

Dan Yun!

A small patch of colorful crimson clouds actually gathered above their heads!

This is a sign that a top-grade elixir has been born!

"Freeze!!"

Qin Feng roared and slammed his hands down on the alchemy furnace!

clang--!

The furnace lid shot skyward!

Two beams of red light, like two fire dragons, roared as they burst out of the alchemy furnace!

Qin Feng reacted quickly, taking out the jade bottle and scooping it up in mid-air!

Two round, plump pills, radiating terrifying heat and medicinal power, fell steadily into the bottle!

Crimson patterns!

Those are nine cinnabar patterns!

Refining True Elixir with Supreme Divine Fire!!

"It's...it's done?!"

Bai Ziyu knelt down with a thud, looking at the jade bottle, tears welling up in his eyes.

I felt the tremor!

An unparalleled and breathtaking experience!

He originally thought his master was bragging and was wasting the elixir.

The results of it?

The master slapped a face full of top-grade pills at him!

Not only did they master it, they became top-tier!

It still boasts a 100% success rate in elixirs!

Double!

"Master..."

Bai Ziyu's voice trembled as he prostrated himself, his gaze as if he were looking at a deity.

"What...what level of alchemist are you?!"

"This is absolutely amazing!!!"

Qin Feng put away the jade bottle, looked at his hands that hadn't trembled at all from refining pills, smiled faintly, and maintained his unfathomable demeanor:

"Which level?"

"hehe."

"Alchemy is merely a minor branch of medicine."

"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

Bai Ziyu: "..."

Listen to this!

Is this even human language?!

Fifth-grade top-quality pills are considered trivial skills?!

What about those who study their whole lives and are still stuck at the third or fourth level?

Is this some kind of useless snack?!

"Alright."

Qin Feng stood up and straightened his robes:

"The elixir is ready, but I have other matters to attend to."

"You may leave now."

"Oh, right."

Qin Feng said calmly:

"Take these few lines of fire control mantra and study them carefully."

"If one can comprehend this, becoming a fourth-tier alchemist will be just around the corner."

He gave a brief explanation of his limited knowledge of alchemy.

Bai Ziyu was overjoyed and kowtowed frantically.

"Thank you so much, Master, for bestowing upon me the Dharma! Thank you so much, Master!!"

Watching Bai Ziyu's tearful, grateful back, Qin Feng's lips curled into a slight smile.

"This apprentice is so easy to please."

"alright."

He turned to look at the jade bottle in his hand, a burning glint in his eyes.

"Two Divine Fire Refining Pills have been obtained."

"Next..."

"Just keep cultivating!"

"Everything is for the reopening of Tian Shu Peak!"
