Mo Qi said, "As the name suggests, it is to regenerate flesh and blood. If a person is split in half, for example, if their head is chopped off... that won't work. The prerequisite is that they must still be alive. For instance, if they are cut in half at the waist, as long as they are still alive, they can be reconnected immediately, and then with elixirs taken internally and applied externally, they can grow blood and flesh and rejoin."
"There are such powerful elixirs?" Dou Bai asked.
Mo Qi suddenly fell into thought. The formula delivered overnight last night, cut in half at the waist, could it be the person he killed last night? But logically speaking, that person was already completely dead.
"Then, there's no time to delay. Please, classmate Mo, refine this elixir for us," Dou Bai said.
Actually, Mo Qi had already planned to start refining without him saying so.
"What?" Supervisor Qin stood up abruptly. "You actually believe him?"
"I believe him," Dou Bai said firmly. "Whatever the consequences, I will bear them all."
"If this is a poisonous elixir, can you bear the consequences?" Supervisor Qin said aggressively.
"It won't be a poisonous elixir," Dou Bai said with extreme firmness, then he led Mo Qi out.
"You..." Supervisor Qin looked at his retreating back, wanting to get angry, but he had already disappeared.
The other two elders walked over at this time and said to Supervisor Qin, "Supervisor, you can't let him act so recklessly."
Supervisor Qin waved his hand, "Let's go out and take a look."
Upon arriving at the alchemy room, they saw Dou Bai watching from the side, while Mo Qi was preparing the raw materials before alchemy.
Supervisor Qin immediately shouted to stop them, "What are you doing? What do you think this place is? Is this a place for you to fool around?"
Just then, there was a commotion outside. A guard ran in panting, stumbled to the ground as soon as he entered, and before he could even get up, he said breathlessly, "Supervisor Qin, something has happened."
Supervisor Qin asked in astonishment, "What happened?"
"A large group of people from the Tang Sect are outside, carrying a dead person and saying you must save him. They said the formula for saving him was given to you last night. You haven't made any move yet, and they're impatient, so they've brought the person here," the guard said in one breath after standing up.
"Hmph, ridiculous. If he gave us the formula, we'll save him if we can, and if not, we'll just return the formula to them. Is he going to blame us?" Supervisor Qin said calmly. "Besides, you said he's already dead. How can a dead person be saved?"
The guard gave a wry smile, "They are indeed blaming us. A large group of people, men and women from the Tang Sect, are making a fuss outside, unreasonably arguing, saying that if you don't find a way to save him, they will carry the person into the academy. All the guards and the academy's deans and stewards are confronting them at the entrance, and they won't leave no matter how much we tell them to."
"Then why are they blaming us?" Supervisor Qin was confused.
"They say that someone from our academy injured him. Therefore, the academy must be responsible for this matter."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qi finally confirmed that the injured person was indeed the one he had injured last night.
"Brother Guard, could you please go out and confirm whether that person is dead or not?" Mo Qi said.
The guard saw Supervisor Qin standing there in a daze, clearly at a loss, and saw that Mo Qi seemed to have a solution, so he treated him as a life-saving straw. He didn't care who Mo Qi was and asked, "What if he's dead, and what if he's not dead?"
"As long as there's still a breath of life, he can be saved. If he's completely dead, there's nothing that can be done," Mo Qi said.
"Alright, I'll go take a look." The guard trotted out.
Seeing Supervisor Qin and the two people with him still in a daze, Mo Qi continued to sort the materials.
There was a herb called the North Sea Ice Silkworm Cocoon. Mo Qi placed his hand on one end, like a magnet, and sucked it out. The skilled operation and clean movements were breathtaking.
Supervisor Qin knew at a glance that it was definitely a thousand strands of fine silk, all neatly arranged. He was stunned and immediately awestruck.
He had reason to believe that Dou Bai's trust in him was not unfounded.
Next, as he sorted other materials, his movements were fluid and seamless, a pleasure to behold.
Initially, all the members of the alchemy room felt that the formula and alchemy method were poisonous elixirs. More importantly, they felt that many operations were impossible to perform, so they had been hesitant to start refining.
But at this moment, this young man in front of them performed all operations so simply and casually, as if it were an everyday task, carrying on without a single pause or hesitation.
Dou Bai finally understood that this student's alchemy level was not as immature as his appearance suggested. He possessed extraordinary skill.
When all preparations were complete, the guard ran back like lightning, breathless, and said, "He's... he's still alive, but barely. It seems the Tang Sect is keeping him alive with some special technique. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. But looking at him, it's worse than being dead."
Mo Qi immediately put all the ingredients into the alchemy furnace, lit the fire, and began refining.
He fanned the furnace fire, observing carefully, and heard the bubbling sound from within the furnace.
At this moment, the commotion outside grew louder. Even though they were in the enclosed alchemy room, they could hear the roars from outside.
Just then, Supervisor Qin had a flash of inspiration and asked the guard, "Did they say which student injured their person?"
As the guard was about to speak, Mo Qi said, "Alas, now is not the time to dwell on this issue. No matter who injured him, if he can be saved, he should be saved. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, isn't it?"
The guard nodded repeatedly.
Mo Qi then said, "Go out and tell them to calm down. The elixir is being refined, and it will be delivered to them once it's done. Tell them to be at ease and not to make noise."
The guard agreed and went out.
Walking outside, he couldn't help but show a confused expression, "What's going on? Who is he? Why does it feel like a student is putting on more airs than a teacher?"
Unable to figure it out, he finally shook his head and went outside.
At this time, the confrontation between the two sides outside was escalating. The men of the Tang family stood tall and handsome, while the women became the main force, their mouths agape and spitting.
Madam Tang was directing, having a few servants carry a stretcher to force their way in. Tang Lin lay on the stretcher.
The academy staff formed a human wall, not taking action, just preventing them from entering.
The students within the academy were ordered not to go out or gather around, so most of them were in their dormitories. They only knew that there was trouble outside, but they didn't know the specifics.
Just then, the guard came out and said loudly, "Everyone, please calm down. Our master is currently refining an elixir. Once it's done, it will be brought out, and Young Master Tang will be saved."
The Tang family members calmed down. Madam Tang then shouted, "We sent the alchemy formula last night. What have you been doing all this time? When we came, you said you were refining it. Are you just trying to placate us?"
"Yes, are you trying to placate us?" others chimed in, and the noise became deafening again.
The stretcher team pushed forward again. The guards once again formed a human wall. Chaos ensued.
The Dean and stewards had been standing aside, not speaking, while the Tang family head and several elders also stood by, watching silently.
Dean Xing Mian quietly called the guard over and asked, "Is the elixir really being refined? Weren't they saying this morning that they couldn't refine it?"
The guard was also confused and vaguely replied, "A student is refining it now, and they seem very skilled."
"A student?" Xing Mian felt like he was about to collapse. In this situation, they actually let a student refine alchemy. Were they really prepared to give up?
He wanted to go in and see what was happening, but Tang Zheng Tian was glaring at him. He was afraid that if he left, Tang Zheng Tian might suddenly make a move, and there would be no one to stop him.
After a long while, Supervisor Qin came out with two alchemists. He looked at the situation and said loudly, "The elixir is being refined with great effort. Everyone, rest assured, it will definitely be refined."
"How long will it take?"
"It will still take..."
At this moment, someone in the Tang Sect who recognized Supervisor Qin shouted, "Isn't that Supervisor Qin from the alchemy room? If he's out, then who is refining inside? Are they lying?"
This caused another wave of excitement, "Yes, are they lying?"
Xing Mian called Supervisor Qin over again and asked him what was going on, why they had let a student refine alchemy.
Supervisor Qin's old face turned slightly red. "That student looks like a student, but in reality, he is a master alchemist. We are all ashamed and admit we are not as good as him. Teacher Dou recommended him. I didn't believe he was that skilled at first, but after watching him refine alchemy, I believe he can refine this elixir."
Xing Mian snorted, "I hope you are not messing around."
Tang Hao and another Tang family member, Tang Kuo, took advantage of the chaos to sneak in, disguised as students, and headed towards the alchemy room.
When they peeked through the alchemy room window, they saw a person who looked like a student extinguishing the furnace fire and using spiritual energy to promote the crystallization of the elixir. Da Feng Novel Network.
Tang Hao looked closely and confirmed that the person was Mo Qi, and he was stunned speechless. After a long while, he said to Tang Kuo beside him, "This person is Mo Xin, the one who injured my elder brother."
"Ah?" Tang Kuo was shocked. "Then what are they trying to do?"
"I don't know," Tang Hao whispered. "Let's go out first and tell my father about this."
After saying that, the two of them quietly sneaked out.
Outside, Tang Hao did not dare to speak to his father. Tang Kuo reported to Tang Zheng Tian that the person refining the elixir inside was the murderer Mo Xin.
Tang Zheng Tian was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't make a fuss for now. I will handle it myself later."
Tang Kuo then retreated.
After a long time, it was announced from inside that the elixir had been refined!
The academy entrance immediately fell silent. Everyone turned their eyes towards the inside of the gate. Then, under everyone's gaze, Dou Bai came out holding a basin. In the basin was a dark, lumpy mass.
Tang Lin was placed on the ground, his eyes tightly shut, with only a faint breath.
Dou Bai walked straight to him, placed the basin aside, and opened his other hand. In his palm was a single elixir.
Dou Bai squatted down, preparing to feed the elixir to Tang Lin.
Just then, a sharp shout came, "Stop!"
Dou Bai stopped his actions and looked in the direction of the shout. He saw Tang Zheng Tian staring at him with sharp eyes. "May I ask, who refined this elixir?"
Tang Zheng Tian said this while walking over.
Dou Bai announced loudly, "It was refined by Mo Xin, a student of Tianjie Academy!"
This statement caused a huge uproar.
"Then why didn't you refine it, and let a student do it?" Tang Zheng Tian asked again.
"Because none of us could refine it. You know yourself how difficult it is to refine such an elixir, otherwise, you wouldn't have sent the formula to our academy for us to refine it," Dou Bai said.
The uproar intensified:
"What? A student refining such an elixir? Masters can't refine it, but a student can? Is the thing they refined edible?"
"Isn't this child's play?"
"Didn't you say a master was refining it just now? Why has it suddenly become a student? This is clearly toying with us!"
Dou Bai ignored their doubts and sneers, smiling, "Our academy indeed has an alchemy prodigy. I am ashamed and admit that I am far behind."
