Chapter 1434 - 1433: Successful Alchemy
Don't take it personally or cause trouble for me when we meet.Tang Rao was so nervous that he crossed his heart.
Why did all those powerful figures appear in front of Tang Rao and end up being offended by him? Was it his destiny to offend people, or was it already arranged by fate?
"Forgive you? Who's going to forgive me then? If you want forgiveness, exchange it for some wine. I'll remind you, if you keep talking nonsense, you won't have enough time to refine your Elixir Pills."
This was indeed a well-intentioned reminder, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, chilling him to the core, so cold that it made him question his life.
"I understand, thank you very much!"
A large Pill Furnace appeared in the room. Once the restriction was set, only those not much stronger than Tang Rao from outside could not open it, so they couldn't interfere with his work.
"Tang Rao, you need my help."
Tang Rao dumped a batch of materials into the Pill Furnace. Before he could add anything else or even increase the temperature of the furnace, a voice came from his portable palace.
He hadn't heard the voice of the Hellfire Shark for a long time, and Tang Rao thought the Hellfire Shark was in seclusion.
"Baby Fire Shark, do I need you?"
The prescription didn't mention needing the Hellfire Shark for anything, so when the Hellfire Shark urgently called out to Tang Rao, he was confused.
"Yes, you currently don't have the ability to control the fluctuating temperature of water and fire, but I can."
The Hellfire Shark swayed its tail, which Tang Rao had deliberately shrunk, trying to please him.
"You can? How are you going to prove it? I only have two sets of materials; if one fails, the second one might as well be declared a failure too."
Tang Rao didn't distrust the Baby Fire Shark but felt that making the Hellfire Shark prove itself once would also boost his own confidence.
"Because of my attributes, in the situation of water and fire being incompatible, I can become a double attribute Sea Beast, which is my capital."
Speaking of its dual attributes, the Hellfire Shark was prouder than anyone.
"Double attributes, that's interesting. I'll trust you this time. How exactly should we proceed? Tell me, and I'll cooperate with you."
Tang Rao chose to trust the Hellfire Shark; this kind of unconditional trust was based on the tacit understanding they had built over the years.
"It's not you cooperating with me, but me cooperating with you. I need to come out of the portable palace and enter the Pill Furnace."
The serious expression on the Hellfire Shark's face didn't seem like a joke.
"Enter the Pill Furnace? Are you crazy! Do you know how high the temperature in there is? You'll just turn into a puddle of water and merge with the Elixir Pills."
At least when it came to entering the Pill Furnace, Tang Rao didn't dare to even think about it, nor did he ever dare to try such a thing.
"Whether I turn into a puddle of water, you'll find out soon enough."
The Hellfire Shark kept Tang Rao in suspense for once, and besides watching, Tang Rao had no other choice.
He truly couldn't control the fluctuating temperature between water and fire.
The Hellfire Shark, now reduced to a thousandth of its original size, seemed like a little fish swimming freely, swaying its tail inside the Pill Furnace.
"Tang Rao, add water, one-fifth of the Pill Furnace's volume, then use the Dan Fire to raise the temperature. There's no specific temperature requirement here; the higher, the better. I'll manage any issues during the process."
The Hellfire Shark didn't have the ability to transmit sound, so it could only think and act step by step before proceeding to the next.
The rising temperature made the Pill Furnace boil. The Hellfire Shark didn't control the temperature but felt the energy generated when the herbs and treasures merged and collided.
While feeling the energy, it was also a moment for the Hellfire Shark to enhance its strength. Although its body was enduring suffering like falling fiercely between Hell and heaven, its internal power was increasing step by step, filled with Immortal Energy at the fastest speed.
"Mid-level Immortal's initial fire setting."
The Dan Fire was burning, the furnace was boiling, and Tang Rao was sweating profusely. The Hellfire Shark wasn't in much better shape.
Upon receiving the Hellfire Shark's instructions, Tang Rao quickly adjusted the fire, lowering it quickly. Consequently, the boiling liquid inside the Pill Furnace was less turbulent than before, and the Hellfire Shark started to fulfill its role.
The fluctuating temperature and fire originated from Tang Rao's palm, and he knew what effect different flames would have. However, the more he processed, the more he realized that even when the fire didn't change, the conditions inside the Pill Furnace were entirely different. The temperature rose and fell sharply, and he couldn't pinpoint when it was time to heat up, cool down, or no longer need a specific temperature.
No wonder the Hellfire Shark entered the Pill Furnace; it was the most direct manifestation of temperature.
"Tang Rao, you can raise the temperature now."
The Hellfire Shark, feeling somewhat weary, knew anyone would feel so after being inside the Pill Furnace for two days. Even Tang Rao found it a bit overwhelming, let alone the Hellfire Shark.
When Tang Rao increased the temperature, the Hellfire Shark emerged from the Pill Furnace. The drastic temperature differences made the Hellfire Shark sneeze as soon as it came out.
It covered its mouth with its fin, fearing it might disrupt Tang Rao's final push.
The temperature inside the Pill Furnace rose continuously, and the fragrance of the medicine became more intense. Tang Rao knew it was on the verge of success.
With a final spurt of effort, just as Tang Rao felt he was about to collapse, he quickly threw in the Hundred Elixir Fruit. The finishing touch proceeded smoothly. The Pill Furnace made popping sounds, without any scorching or exploding noise — was this a sign of success?
Tang Rao stopped the fire and opened the Pill Furnace. Just smelling the pill's fragrance made him feel on the verge of upgrading.
A set of materials produced four Nine Revival Pills, quietly lying inside the Pill Furnace.
Tang Rao had never achieved such a high pill yield with a seven-grade Elixir Pill before.
"How about it? Did you find it pleasantly surprising?"
The Hellfire Shark acted cute in front of Tang Rao.
"Yes, it's very surprising. I never expected to achieve such a high pill yield, especially with a seven-grade Elixir Pill."
And four of them!
Giving one to the man in black, Tang Rao still had three left. And he could still gain another set of materials for free, which felt like a huge profit.
"Someone's coming; you should go back to the portable palace first."
Tang Rao knew the Hellfire Shark had exhausted itself, so he personally placed it back into the portable palace and even fed it a Solid Essence Pill. Given the Hellfire Shark's depleted energy, if not replenished now, it might suffer future repercussions, affecting its future advancement.
No one knocked on the door, yet Tang Rao sensed the presence of a powerful figure.
Tang Rao retracted the Pill Furnace, not even having time to change his clothes.
