He was not used to it.
After arranging these items to one side, he managed to create some space in the small alchemy room.
Xu Xiaoshou recollected the size of his small tub.
His tub was a little bigger compared to the regular tub sizes. It was comparable to Elder Sang’s.
He looked at Yun He and said, “Take a step back.”
“Hmm?”
Yun He did not understand his request.
Take a step back? He had every intention of playing the role of a dutiful receptionist, down to handing each piece of herb and ingredient to Xu Xiaoshou.
“Yes, take a step back. I’m going to refine the pills.”
Yun He was speechless.
‘You certainly have your air when it comes to refining pills!’
Though he was displeased, he withdrew a few steps back. Xu Xiaoshou hesitated for a moment and said, “Retreat to the door.”
Cursed, Passive Points, +1.
Yun He’s expression showed a touch of anger.
‘How about I leave you to your own devices and close the door on you?’
‘You can take your exam and get your certificate without supervision. Is that okay, Young Master?’
Criticized, Passive Points, +1.
Xu Xiaoshou wasn’t sure what to think.
This old man had a rich imagination. He could not figure out what this good-for-nothing old man was thinking.
‘I am doing this for your good!’ he thought.
Nonetheless, he did not explain his actions further. Once he saw that Yun He had retreated to the side, he retrieved his gigantic tub from his space ring. It was so large that it could fit several people inside comfortably.
Dang!
When the gigantic tub hit the ground, Yun He’s eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
“Is this an … Alchemy cauldron?”
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled. “Do you think it is a bathtub?”
Yun He was rendered speechless.
It surely resembled a bathtub.
Suspected, Passive Points, +1.
He was a little stumped by seeing such a large bath– alchemy cauldron. If he were honest, this was the first time he had seen one like that in his entire life.
But there were many exceptional and eccentric alchemists in the world, each possessing unique refining styles. Hence, he did not spare a second thought on it.
Perhaps this bathtub was a high-level spiritual weapon and could increase the success rate of alchemy.
Yun He extended his spiritual senses to scan the tub. Apart from being extremely thick and sturdy, this alchemy cauldron did not appear extraordinary.
As for its level …
It was eighth grade.
The corners of Yun He’s mouth twitched. Eighth grade was not deemed low. It was also an Innate stage alchemy cauldron.
For one with an impressive background, how much could the success rate be boosted by using an eighth-grade alchemy cauldron?
Xu Xiaoshou watched the colorful expressions on Yun He’s face and could not help but feel amused.
With a flick of his finger, he sent a refined Fire Seed to the base of the small tub. Its blazing heat instantly lit the tub to a warm red color.
Yun He was caught by surprise.
Although he could not see anything with the naked eye, how could he not recognize this familiar scorching aura?
He further extended his spiritual senses and saw the refined Fire Seed that was flying around at high speed.
“An invisible flame?”
His mouth fell open slightly. He was unable to hide his surprise.
To be honest, Xu Xiaoshou’s extensive preparation efforts took his breath away.
He had seen many alchemists with distinctive styles, but one that was so unconventional… This was a first.
Xu Xiaoshou looked over and reached out his hand for the ingredients.
“For the tenth-grade elixir, I’ll choose the Red Gold Pill. I have more confidence in this.”
Though he had mastered the condensing method of infernal heavens, he was not too familiar with it. After all, it was not on par with his self-concocted Boiling Soup method.
This technique had little to do with the control of the fire. However, it put his mastery of spiritual techniques to the test.
The good thing was that he finally learned it through hard work and effort.
