Chapter 6: Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill

"That's right, too much Black Bone Powder was added."

Long Yan confidently responded.

"How did you know?"

Long Kun furrowed his brow, recalling carefully, it was indeed because they added too much Black Bone Powder that the elixir exploded.

"I smelled it."

Long Yan's mouth twitched, it was just a second-grade elixir, even if his eyes were covered, he could still refine it with ease.

"You..."

Long Kun's gaze turned cold, feeling as if Long Yan was just messing with him.

Long Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Refining a mere Yuan Ling Dan (Spiritual Core Elixir) using Black Bone Powder is simply a waste. Just adding some Night Glow Grass would be enough."

"Night Glow Grass?"

Long Kun was stunned, then suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he was struck with enlightenment.

"That's right. Night Glow Grass has a gentle medicinal power and can completely neutralize the medicinal properties of Thorn Flower and Poria Fruit. How did I not think of such a simple solution?"

"I have a Night Glow Grass on hand, I'll refine another batch right away. This time, I'll definitely succeed."

Long Kun's face was full of wrinkles from smiling, he turned around to prepare to refine the Yuan Ling Dan again, but suddenly looked back at Long Yan, took out a few elixirs, and handed them to Long Yan, saying, "Here are ten Crimson Blood Elixirs. Take them and get lost. I don't want to see you again."

"I came to refine pills, give me a separate alchemy room."

Long Yan didn't even look at the ten Crimson Blood Elixirs, but instead said something that left Long Kun dumbfounded.

"Are you crazy, or am I crazy?"

Long Kun almost couldn't help laughing at Long Yan. If anyone could refine pills, wouldn't there be a lot of alchemists around?

"I just want to give it a try, maybe I can really refine some elixirs."

Long Yan said without blushing or skipping a beat.

"If you can refine an elixir, I will eat #shit."

Long Kun's face was full of disdain, and he waved his hand, "Forget it, since you did me a big favor, there's an alchemy room there with some medicinal materials. Go mess around however you want."

After saying that, he went into the smoky alchemy room, and with a bang, closed the door.

"I'll show you what 'unpalatable' means shortly."

Long Yan's mouth curved up slightly, forming a wicked arc, and then walked towards the alchemy room.

"Young Master, are you really going to refine pills?"

Seeing Long Yan being serious, Zhang Yibai felt as if his brain wasn't functioning enough.

"Just guard outside, no one is allowed in."

Long Yan instructed and then entered the alchemy room, locking the door behind him.

Inside the alchemy room was messy, with medicinal materials scattered around haphazardly, but they were all for refining the first-grade elixir, Crimson Blood Elixir, which was the main product of the Long Family.

In refining pills, the most important thing is the source of fire.

The simplest fire source for refining pills is to use formations to draw on Earth Fire. This method is simple but difficult to control the heat. Only some low-level alchemists would use it.

Alchemists most commonly use Pill Fire, a kind of spiritual fire cultivated by themselves that can be controlled with ease, making it easy to control the heat. However, to cultivate Pill Fire, one must have a Fire attribute constitution and the corresponding Cultivation method.

Besides that, there is the very rare Strange Fire.

Strange Fire is an unusual flame that exists between heaven and earth, possessing mysterious and unpredictable abilities. Some powerful Strange Fires are extremely terrifying, comparable to the Great Power of the Martial Path.

Strange Fire is extremely rare, and to incorporate it is even more challenging.

Long Kun uses Earth Fire for refining pills.

Long Yan had the Nine Suns Divine Cauldron, so he didn't need to do it himself.

"Let it be the Crimson Blood Elixir then."

He threw some materials for refining the Crimson Blood Elixir into the Nine Suns Divine Cauldron at random, then found a clean place to sit down cross-legged and began his Cultivation.

At this moment, everyone was waiting to see Long Yan's joke, even Zhang Yibai was skeptical.

The Third Young Master of the Long Family refining pills? If this was spread, even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it.

Time quickly passed by, and four hours were gone in a flash.

"Hahahaha, Yuan Ling Dan, I finally refined the Spiritual Core Elixir."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the alchemy room where Long Kun was. Long Kun emerged, looking as if he had gone mad, holding a milky-white pill in his hand - the Spiritual Core Elixir.

"Congratulations to Sixth Elder, you're one step closer to becoming a Third-grade Pill Refiner!"

Zhao Baichuan and the others hurried forward to congratulate him; this was a great cause for celebration.

"Hmm, good!"

Long Kun was in a great mood, and his generosity increased accordingly: "You've all performed well recently, so each of you will be awarded a Crimson Blood Elixir."

"Thank you, Sixth Elder."

Everyone was overjoyed; a single Crimson Blood Elixir was worth over a hundred spirit stones, more than their annual salary.

"Keep watch over the Pill Square. I'm going back to Long Family for a while. When I return, I will give you the Crimson Blood Elixirs."

Long Kun said.

"Yes."

Zhao Baichuan respectfully answered, seemingly remembering something: "Elder, Long Yan is still in the alchemy room, what should we do?"

"He's still there?"

Long Kun frowned, thinking that Long Yan would have left after playing around. He didn't expect him to still be there.

"Go, get that kid out of there for me, and remember, don't let him come to the Pill Square again."

At that moment, the door to the alchemy room opened.

"What's the hurry? This Young Master is coming out now, isn't he?"

Long Yan walked out of the alchemy room, playing with a blood red elixir in his hand.

"Crimson Blood Elixir, did you refine this?"

Long Kun immediately noticed the Crimson Blood Elixir in Long Yan's hand. His pupils suddenly expanded dozens of times, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Do you believe now that this Young Master can refine pills?"

Long Yan smiled faintly and casually handed the Crimson Blood Elixir in his hand to Zhang Yibai: "It's a reward for you."

"Thank you, Young Master."

Zhang Yibai was overjoyed since the Crimson Blood Elixir was a mid-tier first-grade elixir. Once he consumed and refined it, he could attempt to breakthrough to True Martial Sixth level.

"Let me see."

Long Kun reached out, trying to seize the Crimson Blood Elixir from Zhang Yibai's hand.

"This was given to me by the Young Master."

Zhang Yibai was somewhat unwilling, but he didn't dare to resist, looking helplessly at Long Yan.

"Why snatch it? I have more."

Long Yan took out another Crimson Blood Elixir and tossed it to Long Kun.

"No impurities at all, this is actually a Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill, how is this possible!"

Long Kun was astonished. He had refined thousands of Crimson Blood Elixirs, but their quality could not compare to the one in front of him.

"Did you really refine this?"

Long Kun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his breathing became rapid.

"If it wasn't refined by me, would it be refined by you?"

Long Yan's lips twitched and he spoke arrogantly.

It was just a first-grade elixir, he could have as many as he wanted.

"Tell the truth, did you prepare this beforehand?"

Despite the facts being right in front of him, Long Kun still found it hard to believe. After all, Long Yan's image was there, and such a significant change was quite unbelievable.

"In Ling Wu City, have you ever seen a Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill?"

In the entire Ling Wu City, even the Wanbao Trading Company couldn't produce a Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill.

"Can you really refine pills?"

Indeed, there was no such thing as a Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill in Ling Wu City. Even if Long Kun had a ten thousand doubts about Long Yan's refining ability, he still had to admit the reality.

"Who said just now that if I could refine a pill, he would eat sh*t?"

Long Yan smirked evilly, looking at Long Kun with amusement.

"I... "

Long Kun's face instantly turned black like the bottom of a pot, and he was rendered speechless.
