The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: Ultimate Technique – Alchemy with Bare Hands! Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: Ultimate Technique – Alchemy with Bare Hands! Now, the scale of Dragon Island had already taken shape. There was still some time before the emissaries from those major overseas sects would arrive for the final assessment. Huang Xiaolong had decided to spend his time refining medicinal pills for fun.

This was not because he had nothing better to do; it was a serious matter.

In the overseas world, cultivators of some status and identity considered medicinal pills as their food. Since pills were refined by alchemists, the benefits gained after consumption were significantly greater than merely drawing directly from spiritual energy. They could provide immense energy and nutrition. It’s said that those who consume pills will flourish and never grow old.

At that moment, Mr. Dongfang said with a smile, “Island Master, since you are going to perform alchemy, I am truly looking forward to it. Do you have a pill furnace? If not, I have a few stored here, though their quality is just average, mere common goods. They cannot compare to the ones used by the official alchemists of the major sects.”

“Hmm. I understand this.” After inheriting the wisp of divine consciousness from Dugu Hong, Huang Xiaolong was more than clear about this profession.

Indeed, among the many magic treasures, a pill furnace was a highly valued one! And very difficult to refine!

Because, inside a good pill furnace, countless formations are contained! Such as formations to filter out the residue, control the heat, separate and categorize the ingredients, and adjust the airflow…

Complex, very complex.

A common pill furnace could be exchanged for dozens or hundreds of ordinary flying swords. This was no exaggeration.

Even some legendary pill furnaces contained transformations of time and space! Absolutely extraordinary!

“Pill furnace? Hehe–I don’t have a pill furnace,” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly with a smile.

“No pill furnace?” Everyone was shocked.

Big brother–without a pill furnace, how are you going to perform alchemy?

Looking at everyone’s suspicious faces, Huang Xiaolong smiled again. “My method of alchemy is very special, an untransmitted secret–it’s called ‘Hand Palm Alchemy.’ Simply put, it’s the hand-based refining of medicinal pills! Moreover, I do not need any ingredients other than spiritual energy!”

Hand-based alchemy!

This was a method originally created by Dugu Hong himself!

It was almost pioneering in the overseas alchemy world!

Unprecedented!

Because Dugu Hong was quite secretive, after creating such an amazing alchemy technique, he kept it to himself, never sharing or teaching it to anyone! After Dugu Hong’s death, this miraculous method of alchemy was thus lost!

So there were no successors!

But what Dugu Hong never anticipated was that someone would transmute his divine consciousness, and this supreme technique would eventually find a successor.

As everyone looked on in perplexity, Huang Xiaolong was itching to begin!

He slowly stretched out his right hand.

He opened up his empty palm.

With a thought!

Strands of mana began to converge in the palm of his hand.

This mana, like silken threads, smooth and lingering, resembling the fine rain of spring.

The next second, all the mana strands twisted, transforming into tadpole-like runes, dense and endless, more numerous than the stars in the sky, beyond count.

Zhan Tang, Mr. Dongfang, and others watched Huang Xiaolong’s palm, mesmerized by the mysterious runes swirling there. Meanwhile, his wives, after a brief moment of astonishment, calmed down.

Ah–no matter what earth-shattering things their man did, they could accept it calmly. They were used to it by now.

The runes formed by mana gathered more and more, eventually beginning to assemble into various formations!

Scores of formations instantaneously took shape!

All of these were grand formations for refining medicinal pills!

Through these formations, one could gather nature’s spiritual energy and concoct a type of pill called “Spirit Infant Pill” for daily consumption by the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect.

The medicinal effect of this “Spirit Infant Pill” was to strengthen the foundation, nourish mana, and warm the blood.

With long-term consumption, the mana within the body would continuously solidify and strengthen; impurities contained in the mana would also be removed one by one, becoming immaculate.

However, Huang Xiaolong himself was a powerful figure in the field of alchemy and had learned many lost alchemical techniques from the underworld.

He did not completely follow the method of Dugu Hong in concocting the Spirit Infant Pill; he had added some formations to the original ones, making the pills of higher quality and stronger medicinal effects!

After setting up the formations in his palm, Huang Xiaolong suddenly grabbed at the air!

Boom~~~!!!!!!

From all around, the dew-like spiritual energy was captured into the palm of Huang Xiaolong.

This large mass of spiritual energy, within the alchemy formation in Huang Xiaolong’s palm, continuously twisted! Then it emitted dazzling divine light!

Boom~~~~!

A loud sound!

The medicinal energy instantly dispersed!

The pills were formed!

Upon closer inspection, there were three roundly spinning pills in Huang Xiaolong’s hand!

These pills were about the size of a walnut, entirely a vibrant green color, crystal clear and transparent.

In the middle of the pills was a chubby baby-like shape, seated cross-legged!

This “baby” clearly had breathing and heartbeat, almost as if alive!

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Huang Xiaolong had actually concocted a living baby. It wasn’t a baby but a “Pill Spirit.”

That is to say, the Spirit Infant Pills that Huang Xiaolong concocted were endowed with spiritual energy, as if they possessed vitality!

This kind of pill was of exceptionally high quality!

“Ah~~!!!!” Mr. East let out a roar. “This… this is… this is the Qingcheng Sect’s Spirit Infant Pill! I have taken it before! Upon consumption, the qi and blood harmonize, mana circulates, warming the limbs and bones completely, making one extremely comfortable! This is a secret medicine of the Qingcheng Sect, not generally sold, meant only for their disciples’ consumption! Some Qingcheng Sect disciples, if they have surplus and lack spirit stones, would sell some in the black market, where the price has soared to five medium-grade spirit stones per pill!”

Huang Xiaolong’s mind slightly stirred.

My god, five medium-grade spirit stones are equivalent to fifty thousand yuan in the central region of Huaxia!

This is extremely valuable!

Huang Xiaolong concocted these pills at almost no cost; casually making some every day would earn a fortune!

However, immediately afterward, Mr. East let out a howl like a wolf. “Not right! Not right! This doesn’t seem like ‘Spirit Infant Pill’~~!”

“Heh~~ Mr. East, what do you mean by that? How is it both similar and not similar?” Huang Xiaolong asked with an amused smile.

“This~~ this~~ Island Master, the pills you concocted, are bigger than those of the Qingcheng Sect. Theirs are only the size of dragon eyes, while yours are nearly the size of walnuts. Moreover, while the chubby infant in the middle of Qingcheng Sect’s Spirit Infant Pills looks lifelike, it does not have a heartbeat or breathing. But the chubby infant in your pills has life! Ah~~! This! Island Master, the pills you concocted resemble Qingcheng Sect’s Spirit Infant Pills in appearance but are of much higher quality! Unbelievable! If these pills were sold, they could definitely fetch ten medium-grade spirit stones each.”

“Hahahaha~~ I think so too.” Huang Xiaolong casually smiled and then directly threw the freshly concocted three pills to Zhan Tang and Mr. East. “Here~ try and see how they taste.”

Zhan Tang and Mr. East hurriedly caught them as if they were treasures, sniffed them, and their faces immediately showed intoxicated and greedy expressions.

Then, they both consumed the pills.
