Chapter 231 Tianxiangzi: Father! Do you think this eunuch would be suitable to be your son-in-law?
But there was still no movement from the stove!
Chen Fan wasn't in a hurry about this.
He continued to control the heat, waiting silently.
Time flew by and it was noon.
The Second Elder, who had not appeared for a long time, also came out of the Pill Nourishing Hall.
With a calm expression, he glanced at Chen Fan and then joined the crowd!
"Second Elder...this person is clearly stalling for time!" Guang Anzi suggested.
"Why wait for him to put on an act... let's just eliminate him directly!"
"Guang Anzi! What nonsense are you spouting!" Tian Xiangzi cast an unfriendly glare at him!
"What Guang'anzi said is absolutely right!" said Senior Brother Chengfeng.
"He's just a clown; every second he spends here is a waste of his time!"
The Second Elder remained silent upon hearing this.
With his hands behind his back, his gaze remained fixed on Chen Fan.
He thought to himself that although this young man was young, he was quite calm and composed.
In particular, this person also has a high talent for alchemy, and in his opinion, he definitely has a bright future!
While the group was talking, Chen Fan finally made a move!
He, who had attracted everyone's attention, then extinguished the fire in the stove!
He slowly got up and casually opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
Upon closer inspection, three round, medium-quality pills lay at the bottom of the alchemy furnace!
The Nourishing Essence Pill is complete!
"It's formed...and the quality...seems quite good! He can actually refine a second-grade pill...it seems he's not just all show!"
"That makes sense...this person is not simple..."
"He actually succeeded in making a pill... a second-grade pill... this person is quite capable..."
"Judging from the quality of the elixir... it doesn't seem to have reached the top grade..."
……
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The Second Elder came to the alchemy furnace and took out the Nourishing Essence Pill.
After looking at it carefully for a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"It is indeed a Nourishing Essence Pill... but its quality is only mid-grade... it's still a bit short of high-grade..."
Chen Fan nodded slightly after hearing this.
He picked up a pill and examined it, quickly realizing where the problem lay.
You have to understand that I've been refining elixirs in a bowl for several years.
Chen Fan may not have learned any other skills, but he has certainly mastered the ability to identify problems!
Just as he was about to say something.
But then Guang Anzi shouted:
"Only a mid-grade... Second Elder, this guy has failed! Throw him out!"
The Second Elder's face darkened.
He, who had been ignoring him, unusually became angry and said:
"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
Guang Anzi: "..."
Guang Anzi immediately shut up and stopped talking!
"Second Elder," Chen Fan said upon seeing this.
"There's still one day left, I feel like I can give it a try!"
"Yes..." the Second Elder said with a gentle smile.
"You exploded the first batch, but you'll be able to refine a mid-grade Nourishing Essence Pill on the second batch... In my opinion, a high-grade Nourishing Essence Pill shouldn't be difficult for you!"
Everyone looked on with envy upon hearing the Second Elder's assessment!
It should be noted that the Second Elder is one of the few third-grade alchemists in Grass Valley.
What this person says represents authority!
Upon hearing this, Tianxiangzi, who was standing to the side, also looked on with anticipation.
Her intuition told her so.
This Daoist has the potential to become a second-grade alchemist!
He didn't say much.
After swallowing two Qi-Nourishing Pills, Chen Fan sat cross-legged and began to meditate to regulate his breathing.
He continued refining pills only after his spiritual power had recovered.
The Second Elder wasn't in a hurry.
He found a chair and quietly waited by the side.
The others held their breath, waiting for a new second-grade alchemist to appear!
Only Senior Brother Chengfeng's eyes were filled with jealousy when he saw this scene!
Recalling the time when he was taking the exam to become a second-grade alchemist, he felt a surge of resentment!
Chen Fan quickly selected a batch of ingredients for the Nourishing Essence Pill and then started a fire to refine it.
After putting various medicinal herbs into the furnace, he immediately channeled his spiritual energy to control the heat!
Unlike the previous two times.
This time, before refining the pills, Chen Fan specially added a drop of his own blood to the medicinal herbs.
He has so much experience in alchemy.
In the process of refining the Nourishing Essence Pill, I realized that if I wanted the medicinal properties to blend more quickly, I could actually use spiritual blood to harmonize them.
Perhaps it's an experiment!
But Chen Fan still tried it!
Two more hours passed quickly.
From morning to afternoon, almost all of Caogu's disciples came!
This also includes Tianxiangzi's father, namely Caogugu Master Gu Daozi!
With his refined features, wearing a black robe, and tall, slender figure, he bore a striking resemblance to Tian Xiangzi!
With his cultivation at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he looked calmly at Chen Fan before him!
This prompted Tianxiangzi to ask:
"Father... what do you think of this person?"
Gu Daozi was taken aback.
He glanced at his daughter and frowned, saying:
"You've taken a liking to this kid?"
Tianxiangzi blushed.
Her silence spoke volumes.
Gu Daozi remained silent for a moment.
Her gaze towards Chen Fan softened.
It seems that the person refining elixirs there is no longer an outsider, but rather the future son-in-law of the Grass Valley!
Two more hours passed quickly.
Chen Fan, who had been silent all along, opened his eyes.
He controlled the heat and then extinguished the fire!
Everyone's eyes lit up!
They all looked toward the alchemy furnace.
The Second Elder also woke up.
He was slightly puzzled because he couldn't smell the fragrance of the cinnabar.
"There's not even a hint of fragrance..." Senior Brother Chengfeng said, his hands behind his back.
"This...it seems like it's a failure?"
Senior Brother Chengfeng's tone was slightly sarcastic.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Even Tianxiangzi was taken aback, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
But Chen Fan still didn't say anything.
He stared at the alchemy furnace, but didn't rush to open it!
Rumble!
While everyone was puzzled.
Thunder rumbled from the sky.
Then dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared within!
A gentle breeze was blowing, and a light drizzle was falling.
Chen Fan looked up when he saw this!
"Lightning tribulation..." the Second Elder stammered, lost in thought.
"This... this kid actually attracted a lightning tribulation!"
Gu Daozi's expression also changed.
You must understand that alchemy is essentially about combining rare and precious materials to replenish the deficiencies of cultivators.
Therefore, when an overly powerful elixir is born, it will attract a tribulation of lightning!
When the first master of Grass Valley was refining pills, he also attracted a lightning tribulation!
But the pills refined by that ancestor were above the fifth grade!
How could such a mere second-grade Nourishing Essence Pill possibly attract a lightning tribulation!
I'm completely baffled.
Gu Daozi could only say in a deep voice:
"Everyone, leave..."
The words had barely left his mouth!
The disciples of Caogu quickly retreated!
Even Tianxiangzi was reluctant to leave.
Whoever refines the pill must endure the tribulation of lightning!
This is common knowledge for alchemists!
Chen Fan, who was encountering this situation for the first time, was completely dumbfounded.
However, he quickly realized what was happening!
Looking up, he vaguely anticipated some kind of tribulation lightning descending upon him!
"Extreme Dao Child... the strength of lightning tribulations varies... there's most likely something wrong with your pills..." The Second Elder retreated to a distance.
"If you can't hold on... then abandon the pill!"
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
He waited silently, and a long sword appeared in his hand!
It's the National Day holiday!
Rumble!
Then the thunder grew even louder!
Amidst the rolling dark clouds, streaks of lightning flashed across the sky!
Chen Fan, who looked up, also held his breath!
Suddenly, a terrifying scene appeared in the dark clouds...
