Chapter 120 Elder Liang’s ScandalChapter 120 Elder Liang's Scandal
Long Ming felt pretty helpless when he saw almost eighty to ninety percent of resources were getting wasted. No wonder Four Seasons Valley was reliant on other sects to get medicinal pills.
' Isn't that Elder Liang was a Grandmaster Alchemist? Why the hell these guy's techniques are so crude?"
Long Ming looked at them as he chuckled. " Well, I am impressed by your skills, Sisters. How about I also try alchemy a bit?"
" Whoa?"
" Senior Brother is going to try alchemy?!"
" I am so excited to see it!"
" Haha, It's my first time. So, I might act clumsily." Long Ming smiled wryly, scratching his head. " I hope you don't mind it."
" No, Not at all, Senior Brother Long."
" Hehe, It will be fun to watch Senior Brother cooking."
" You mean alchemy, right?"
" Isn't that the same?"
Long Ming sighed when he heard that. Rolling his sleeves, he walked to the pill refinement room and sat before a Medicinal Cauldron.
During pill refinement, one needs to use their true qi to fuel the spirit flame. However, spiritual qi is used to control the refinement of medicines inside the cauldron along with controlling the flame's temperature and intensity.
One's spiritual qi is naturally much less compared to true qi. That's why, if one's spiritual qi gets exhausted during pill refinement, the chances of failure increase very much. Not to mention, dual controlling True Qi and Spiritual Qi is hard for most people.
That's why, these pill furnace rooms are used, especially in bigger sect. Using the formations to draw out the flames from the Fire Vein inside the earth, the flame is easily controllable with very little input of True Qi. So even disciples with low aptitude can refine medicinal pills.
Sitting before a cauldron, Long Ming used Crimson Yang Qi instead of True Qi, because Crimson Yang Qi is more got more fire affinity than regular True Qi.
The flames burned like a raging tidal at first, but with Long Ming's swift control, he managed to make it small and perfectly balanced.
" I am trying to concoct a batch of Violet Spirit Pills. Can someone give me a batch of ingredients?"
" Wait a second, Senior Brother. I will be right back."
Long Ming swiftly got the medicinal herbs as his Heavenly Revelation Eyes awakened. Everything he comprehended about alchemy slowly surfaced in his mind as he started to put the herbs inside the cauldron.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe flames spiraled around the cauldron in a slow way as the herbs slowly started to melt inside the cauldron. Using his powerful spiritual qi, Long Ming extracted the essence from those herbs, slowly merging them together.
The herbal essences merged together as they formed a colorful liquid. Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes monitored the smallest changes happening inside the cauldron.
" Whoa?! Senior Brother reached the essence convergence stage so fast!"
" Senior Brother is really talented."
" Well, the pill condensation is much harder than this. But I think Senior Brother might do it."
" Wait a second… Isn't Violet Spirit Pill a High-tier Spirit Grade Pill? Didn't he say this is his first time refining pills?"
" Huh? Wait, Did he just skip and try to make a higher-grade pill the first time?"
Generally, Only Alchemy Apprentice can refine Yellow grade pills while the? Alchemy Masters can refine Spirit Grade pills. Therefore, Long Ming should have started with refining Yellow grade pills.
However, no one dared to voice it out aloud as Long Ming was in full concentration. His hands moved and controlled his Spiritual Qi thanks to the Eternal True Spirit Art.
Suddenly, the flames surged as a rich medicinal aroma drifted out from the cauldron. Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes and Temporal Fate Simulation activated instantly.
Long Ming used the ability to predict fufture and saw the way where the pill refinement could be failure. So, after knowing them, Long Ming easily avoided those chances of failures.
It's same as rapidly making changes while taking glimpse in future.
*BOOM BOOM*
The cauldron rumbled as the flames extinguished. Long Ming opened the lid as several pills jumped out from the cauldron.
" Three High grade and Five Mid grade pills." Long Ming sighed. " I mean, I it could have been better but well…"
He felts something was wrong as there was pin drop silent. When he turned around, all the girls stood silently, gawking at Long Ming like they saw some ghost.
" He…He succeeded? Yes, He succeeded."
" Senior Brother Long managed to refine pills without failing?"
" He… He even managed to refine three high grade and five mid grade pills."
All of them surrounded Long Ming as they looked at him with a fiery gaze. " Senior Brother, You were joking, right?"
" Huh?" Long Ming became confused.
" No way this is your first time refining pills!"
" Senior Brother lied to us!"
" Haha, Why would I lie?" Long Ming smiled sheepishly. " This is really the first time I refined pills. I weas so clumsy, didn't you saw that?"
The girls looked at each other with suspicious gaze. How could all of them missed when Long Ming was being clumsy?
" Nooo! Senior Brother is still lying!"
" Indeed!"
Long Ming chuckled as he looked at them. " Alright, I admit that my knowledge about various medicinal herbs is pretty good. So, How about this? How about I give you some tips regarding alchemy?"
" What? Senior Brother is willing to give us a lecture?"
" Whoaaa! I am so excited!
And after that, Long Ming gave them a lecture for an entire hour about various medicinal herbs. He was only giving knowledge from his comprehension which he got after reading the medicinal scriptures.
The information was in all those scrolls. However, It was so redundant that most disciples wouldn't be able to understand it. Not to mention, Long Ming realized that the elders in Medicinal Hall are doing a terrible job in teaching the disciples.
After the lecture, many of the girls felt enlightened.
" Well, The furnace here looks a bit outdated. Don't we have any better quality furnaces?" Long Ming suddenly asked.
" Well, The amount of cauldrons that explode here is very high. So, Buying a better quality cauldron is a waste, according to Elder Liang."
" Is that so?" Long Ming didn't find any fault in Elder Liang's reasoning as it was indeed true. However, assuming Elder Liang is an enemy, he wondered if he could find any clues here.
Long Ming looked at the furnance room and suddenly, his Heavenly Revelation eyes flashed.
" Hmm? These formations seem to be pretty old. Not to mention they seem to be…faulty." Long Ming murmured. He walked there and inspected them closely.
Those formations were like pipelines, that extracted the flames from deep Fire Veins inside the earth. If these formations turn faulty, the pill refinement rate will naturally drop significantly.
' Wait a second!'
Long Ming's heart shook as he looked at all the formations. Suspicion rose in his mind as he looked at the disciples of Medicinal Hall.
" Junior Sisters, I think you all use the Burning Flower Flame Controlling Arts, right? Can you show me?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Burning Flower Flame Controlling Art is something that most of the Medicinal Hall disciples practice.
" Indeed, We all practice that. Only Elder Liang and a selected few disciples cultivate the Nine Flower Flame Technique, which is the upgraded version of Burning Flower Flame Controlling Arts."
Long Ming looked at the disciples who were using the flame techniques. He again looked at the formations and then at the cauldrons. His heart turned cold as he finally grasped some clues.
" Well, I guess I stayed here for a bit too much. I shall take my leave, Junior Sisters." Long Ming smiled. " If any of you face any problems, be free to come to my Solitary Flower Peak."
Before Long Ming left, he didn't forget to take a cauldron. After all, No one would notice if a cauldron is missing. After getting out, Long Ming rushed straight to An Luan's residence.
" Oh my, Look who has come."
An Luan was sitting amidst a pile of scrolls as she was reviewing the files. " What brings you here, My dear husband?~"
Long Ming chuckled mildly when he heard that. " I got some important clues. Did you checked the expenditure of Medicinal Hall?"
" Yes, I checked as you asked me. What do you wish to know?"
Long Ming's eyes narrowed. " Which thing costs the most in Medicinal Hall?"
" The formation plates and cauldrons." An Luan replied as she took out an accounting book.
" Just last month, the Medicinal Hall ordered more than two hundred Spirit Grade Cauldrons. Also, the formations plates of Flame Gathering Formation also changed two months ago.
" How much it all cost?"
" Around two million high grade spirit stones."
" FUCK!"
Long Ming almost cursed out loud when he heard that. " That bitch Elder Liang, she embezzled that much?"
" What happened? What are you talking about?" An Luan's face also turned serious. " I don't see any financial defects here at all. Are you saying Elder Liang used some different methods?"
" Of course!" Long Ming gnashed his teeth. " That bitch, Not only she hoarded the money, she also purposely undermined the potential of Medicinal Herbs."
" If I don't catch that bitch right now, the Medicinal Hall will turn into a blood sucking leech of Four Seasons Valley."
" Then, What do you plan to do?"
Suddenly, Long Ming's lips curled as he looked at An Luan. An Luan gasped lightly as Long Ming held her waist, kissing her neck gently.
" My lady, How about you do me a favor?"
