Chapter 283 - 283 232


283: Chapter 232 283: Chapter 232 Su Chang’an’s ever gentle face was now so serious.


These alchemists appeared to be in their twenties or thirties, but in fact, some of them were already in their sixties or seventies; the age of cultivators could not be discerned.


Given Su Chang’an’s distinguished status and higher cultivation level than theirs, the alchemists were not irritated when the Young Master spoke to them in such a way; they felt they had to believe what the Young Master said.


As a member of the Su Family, they had of course heard the recent rumors in the Martial World about one of their Young Master’s brothers, who was a supreme alchemist, and had brought supreme elixirs to the family’s senior members at an ordinary price.


They had also noticed that the Young Master had improved his cultivation, which they envied.


Considering their seniority and abilities, the alchemists never entertained the thought that they had the qualifications to receive supreme elixirs to boost their cultivation.


However, they were quite keen for the Young Master to invite his brother to give them some guidance on alchemy.


If they could transform from ordinary alchemists into advanced alchemists, that would already be a dream come true.


Hearing what the Young Master said, they realized that this young man before them was the legendary supreme alchemist from the tales of the Martial World, a young man with a fair face possessing such skills was really not discernible from his appearance.


The six alchemists only flashed some thoughts in their minds and quickly showed excited smiles upon regaining their composure.


“Yes, we’ll listen to the Young Master and request Master Jiang Tang to instruct us.”
The alchemists’ voices were in perfect unison, harmoniously performing a deep bow before Jiang Tang.


The collective bow they gave Jiang Tang was a gesture of discipleship, a show of respect for an elder.


Seeing their age, Jiang Tang knew these people were even older than his grandfather, though he had never met his grandfather.


In the Cultivation World, the strong were respected, but he couldn’t accept such a grand gesture from them.


Even being as powerful as he was, he couldn’t arrogantly accept such grand respects from so many people.


:
With a wave of his hand, the bow the six alchemists were about to perform was halted as they felt a strong force preventing them from bending down.


They all understood that this young man’s cultivation was higher than theirs, and he did not want them to perform such a grand gesture, so they were forced to abandon the idea.


“Now, I’ll teach you a set of ordinary alchemy techniques.


Of course, it’s not the method I use to craft supreme elixirs now, but if you master these techniques, you’ll also be able to craft advanced pills,” Jiang Tang finished speaking, and the six alchemists nodded, sensing that even the everyday techniques this man mentioned could yield advanced pills, and they should seriously learn them.


Maybe these were the ordinary techniques he learned before he became famous; if they could learn the methods to create advanced pills, they would already be satisfied.


This time, Jiang Tang did not take out a Pill Furnace from his space nor did he summon his Fire Spirit.


He intended to use the existing fire and their Alchemy Furnaces.


With his current high level of cultivation and crafting skills, ordinary furnaces should suffice for demonstrating basic techniques, and he wanted to see if using ordinary furnaces could enhance the efficacy of the alchemy process.


The women who had accompanied Jiang Tang to many family clans, along with another man, Dugu, had thought he would take out his own Treasured Furnace and Fire Spirit from his person.


Yet, they did not expect that Jiang Tang would use an ordinary Alchemy Furnace to craft pills here.


“Where are your Spirit Grasses?” Jiang Tang wanted to keep things simple, naturally using their Pill Furnace and Spirit Grass; after all, the pills he would make were for them.


“They’re in this Storage Bag,” one of the alchemists said, pulling out a Storage Bag from inside his robes.


The bag was filled with Spirit Grasses, containing both high-level and lower-level herbs.


The completed pills would be placed into another Storage Bag.


Jiang Tang glanced at the Spirit Grasses in the Storage Bag; they were relatively common herbs.


The most precious ones, in his view, were still ordinary.


The products from his space were the best.


It wasn’t out of pride that he felt this way; in the years he had spent adventuring outside the Cultivation World, he had truly not found any Spirit Grass that surpassed those grown in his space.


Before, he had purchased some ordinary seeds and grown them in his space, where the Spiritual Energy was so strong that even ordinary seeds thrived, naturally producing better quality than those from the Spirit Fields outside in the Cultivation World.


Not wanting to waste time, Jiang Tang simultaneously ignited six Alchemy Furnaces, preparing all six for the alchemy process.


Seeing Jiang Tang’s strong approach, the six alchemists realized that regardless of whether he had strong alchemy skills, the fact that one person was taking on six furnaces was already impressive.


They had also tried managing several alchemy furnaces alone, but whether it was due to their technique or their Divine Sense being insufficient, when each person tended to one alchemy furnace, they could still properly craft some low and middle-grade pills, and with some luck, even produce a few high-grade pills.


The alchemists watched with adoring eyes as Jiang Tang sequentially performed alchemy, tossing various Spirit Grasses into the alchemy furnace.


They clearly recognized those Spirit Grasses, the very same ones they had just been using to practice the ordinary Spirit Supplement Pill.


“If it were you, you would definitely need to add the Spirit Grass in sequence, and then let the pill furnace turn these herbs into liquid; my method here is simpler, I just toss them all in at once,” Jiang Tang explained while meticulously guiding his disciples as any good master should.


Back then, he had books detailing the steps of alchemy, as well as some notes from predecessors with experiences written down.


All he needed to do was follow these steps, without having to brainstorm anything himself.


The alchemists took Jiang Tang’s explanations to heart.


“The herbs are all in, and now the herbs inside the pill furnace have become liquid; all that’s needed is to use Divine Sense to make the liquid form into pills,” he said.


Jiang Tang divided his Divine Sense into six strands, to make the liquid inside the alchemy furnaces form into pills.


His speed in alchemy was swift, requiring only a moment’s time; everyone was still embedding his previous advice in their minds, mentally rehearsing it.


By the time Jiang Tang began opening the alchemy furnaces, everyone saw pills flying out from each of the six furnaces, every single one producing five high-grade pills.


Those who had seen Jiang Tang perform alchemy felt that using these ordinary furnaces to craft such high-grade pills was already common, while those who had seen him make Supreme Elixirs believed even more.


It was unfortunate that these weren’t crafted in a Treasured Furnace; had they been made in such a furnace, the pills would have been simply supreme.


However, the alchemists who hadn’t seen Jiang Tang make pills before and now witnessed it with their own eyes were deeply impressed by the fact that he could manage six furnaces simultaneously, each yielding five high-grade pills; they were utterly full of admiration for him.


They were the strongest alchemists of their clans, previously proud in the adulation of others.


Although they didn’t have a legacy like the Medicine Sect, they considered themselves stronger than the average alchemist.


Today, having learned the skills Jiang Tang taught them, they memorized these techniques in their hearts.


“Now, try alchemy by yourselves here using the method I just showed you,” Jiang Tang said, ready as a master to let his disciples practice and see if they could master his techniques.


“Yes, Master!” the six alchemists responded in unison, bowing respectfully to Jiang Tang.


Su Chang’an said to the alchemists, “Jiang Tang has been invited by the family to be a Hall Master; from now on, he is your Hall Master.


Should you have any doubts, make sure to seek his guidance!”
“Yes, Young Master!” The alchemists harbored no envy or discomfort at this idea; Jiang Tang genuinely deserved his ability, as someone more skilled than them, and serving as a Hall Master here would only promote their development.


Jiang Tang handed the storage bag he had been using back to one of the alchemists.


The alchemists began earnestly practicing alchemy in front of their own pill furnaces.


They didn’t have the speed of Jiang Tang, but they followed the method he taught with diligence, slowly refining their pills.


Seeing their technique, Jiang Tang noted they were doing well; although they weren’t as fast, as long as they mastered the skills, their speed could be improved later on.


After two moments, all six alchemy furnaces opened at the same time, each yielding two high-grade pills.


“Haha, we did it!”
The alchemists laughed and jumped around; they hugged each other, and then they ran over to embrace Jiang Tang.


Jiang Tang was not accustomed to being hugged by men, but he did not dampen their joyous spirits.
