Chapter 3133: Testing the medicinal cauldron

Vice guild leader Ouyang didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but Lin Yi said that this thing could automatically refine elixirs, and he was instantly interested! The more he heard, the more shocked he was. This thing was simply a heaven-defying divine tool. Didn’t that mean that as long as one was an Alchemist, they could refine pills? Even an Alchemist without the wood attribute could use this medicinal cauldron to refine pills?

As long as one could control the alchemy fire proficiently, one could refine a grade one elixir with a 100% success rate. This medicinal cauldron could simply replace the market for grade one elixir! After all, who would buy others ‘if they could make it themselves?

No matter how cheap the sky elixir sect’s grade one elixir was, the cultivator trade association would still be able to increase the price of the elixir. How could it be more economical than refining it himself? Moreover, if he wanted to make it himself, he could make it whenever he wanted, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to buy it or having no stock when he urgently needed it.

“Mr. Ling, what you said … Is it true?” It was no wonder Vice-President Ouyang was suspicious. After all, no one would believe it so easily. This thing was too magical, beyond the comprehension of normal practitioners. Even if Lin Yi took it out, Vice-President Ouyang didn’t think that Lin Yi would lie to him, but he still asked.

“It’s absolutely true!” “If you don’t believe me, Vice President Ouyang, you can find an Alchemist to test it out for you!” Lin Yi nodded.

“Alright!” Vice guild leader Ouyang did not reject the offer because he also wanted to witness how amazing the grade one automatic medicinal cauldron was. Hence, he took out his phone and dialed the number of the disciple who had been standing at the entrance.”Little duo, give Xiao Kong a call and ask him to come to my room immediately!”

The little hole mentioned by Vice-President Ouyang was an Alchemist of the cultivator trade Association’s city square. The so-called Alchemist was a disciple who had studied alchemy and was very good at it. However, because they did not have any wood attribute in their bodies, they could not become an Alchemist. However, they had no problem being an Alchemist in charge of checking and examining pills.

An Alchemist only needed to judge the color of a pill. Xiao Kong was an Alchemist under vice guild leader Ouyang.

Very quickly, there was a knock on the door. Vice guild leader Ouyang said,”come in.” A thin and weak young man walked in and said respectfully,””Vice guild leader Ouyang, I’m here. May I know why you’re looking for me?”

“Of course there is. I want you to test something!” “Mr. Ling, could you please explain how to use this to the hole?” vice guild leader Ouyang asked.

“Alright,” he said. Lin Yi nodded and pointed at the automatic cauldron.”This is a first grade medicinal cauldron. However, this medicinal cauldron’s function is to automatically refine pills!”

“Automatic pill refining?” Kong’s eyes were wide open as he looked at the direction Lin Yi was pointing at, unable to believe his ears.”Mr. Ling, did I hear you wrong? There are cauldrons that can automatically refine pills?”

“You didn’t hear wrong!” Lin Yi smiled,”but, although these cauldrons are called automatic cauldrons, it doesn’t mean that they don’t need manual intervention at all. Some of the steps in the process are automatically activated, increasing the success rate …”

With that, Lin Yi explained the way to use an automatic first grade medicine cauldron to Xiao Kong. Xiao Kong was an Alchemist, and naturally understood what Lin Yi meant. His eyes flashed with eagerness!

It was precisely because his body lacked the wood element that he became an Alchemist. One had to know that without the wood element, no matter how good one’s control of the alchemy fire was when refining pills, one could only rely on luck because one couldn’t sense the changes in the medicinal cauldron.

But now, this automatic first grade cauldron that Lin Yi was talking about didn’t require any of that at all. The fire’s intensity was completely adjusted by the cauldron itself, and there was a time and temperature curve on the cauldron to tell the refiner what temperature the fire should be at. This way, even a slightly experienced refiner, or an elixir tester like Kong Dao, could successfully make first grade pills!

“I … Can I try now?” Kong asked, rubbing his palms together. Lin Yi and vice guild leader Ouyang wanted him to test it out, and he wanted to try it out as soon as possible to fulfill his dream of becoming an Alchemist.

“Of course you can. I asked you to come here for the test.” Vice guild leader Ouyang said.

“Then … This thing can’t be damaged, right?” Xiao Kong was a little scared. Although he didn’t know the value of this thing, he had been in the cultivator trade Association’s market for many years. He knew that this was a heaven-defying divine weapon. This thing couldn’t be sold for a sky-high price. If he broke it, he wouldn’t be able to afford it even if he was beaten to death.

“It won ‘t. If you can break it so easily, this thing wouldn’t have any value.” Lin Yi smiled,”you can experiment as much as you want. I have some ingredients for the spirit gathering pill here, you can try making it!”

“Oh? It’s a spirit gathering pill?” “This spirit gathering pill is considered a medium-difficulty pill among all the grade one pills. You have to change the intensity of the fire several times during the process. Are there any simple grade one pills like the life-preserving pill?” Kong Dao was a little surprised and timid.

The so-called resurrection pill was a healing elixir that was one grade lower than the minor resurrection pill. However, because its effects were not obvious, very few alchemists knew how to make it. It was only used as an entry level elixir refinement for disciples to make.

“Even if you want to test this pill, I don’t have the materials for you to do so. I only have the spirit gathering pill.” Lin Yi said with a bitter smile.

“Then … I’ll try?” Xiao Kong glanced at the medicinal cauldron and asked somewhat nervously.

“It’s fine, just try it. As long as you can control the temperature of the alchemy fire, you can definitely succeed.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Alright!” Xiao Kong took a deep breath and eagerly picked up the automatic Grade one medicinal cauldron in front of him. He followed the instructions on it and put the materials for the spirit gathering pill into the medicinal cauldron. Then, according to the instructions on the medicinal cauldron, he pressed the “spirit gathering pill” button. After that, the circuit of the automatic Grade one medicinal cauldron started. On the screen, the words “spirit gathering pill automatic refining” were displayed. Below it was a line of instructions, asking The Alchemist to place his palm on the area where the pill fire was condensed and to start condensing the fire-type pill fire!

Xiao Kong quickly followed the instructions and placed his hand on the designated area. Then, he began to condense the fire-type pill fire.

“Beep.” A buzzing sound came from the automatic Grade one medicinal cauldron, and the words “fire-type pill fire identification normal, automatic pill refining system starting …” Appeared on the screen!

Immediately after, a prompt appeared on the screen.”Countdown begins. Please adjust the temperature of the pill fire to the designated temperature according to the instructions on the screen!”
