Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Chapter 288: Making Elixirs with Notes

Translator: Noodletown Translated __ Editor: Noodletown Translated

Xie Yujia tossed the herbs in the box into the furnace one after another. The earthly fire under the furnace had been burning for thousands of years without stopping, and the inside of the furnace was already bright red.

The moment the herbs were tossed inside, they turned into essence liquid and merged slowly.

Cautiously, Xie Yujia threw in the most critical herbs, the three Beauty Flowers.

At the wave of her arm, the golden note blinked and moved the lid to its original position.

Xie Yujia’s movement of lifting and closing the furnace lid looked quite smooth as if she had practiced it hundreds of times. Su Han looked at her with satisfaction and astonishment, wondering how a weak cultivator in the level 3 Qi Refinement Realm could move a furnace lid weighing about 1,000 pounds. The dharma note Xie Yujia used was indeed powerful.

Elder Xingyue was also surprised. She had never seen or heard of this method of making elixirs with dharma notes.

Elder Xingyue believed that Xie Yujia must be the disciple of a grandmaster.

In the furnace, the five elements in the herbs were instantly turned into essence liquid by the hot earthly fire. However, it was still a mortal fire and couldn’t extract the five elements purely and merge them into each other.

That was why five-colored mists floated above the furnace.

“Little White, it’s your turn!” Xie Yujia glanced at Little White that was by her side.

Little White looked at Xie Yujia and then at Hao Ren behind it, wondering what it was supposed to do.

“Silly dog! Spit fire!” Hao Ren rushed over and gave it a light kick at its rump.

Little White jumped forward and finally hissed out a red flame from its mouth.

The flame merged into the surging earthly fire; it looked weak, but the combined fire instantly leaped up by three feet.

The red fire had blue flames on the top, and the blue flames were obviously more potent than other flames.

A faint aroma of the mixed herbs appeared.

Little White’s demon fire was, in fact, the samadhi true fire, the fundamental fire for making elixirs!

As a level 2 elixir pill, the Beauty Pills were not difficult to make. It was due to the rarity of the mature Beauty Flowers in the mortal world that caused the Beauty Pills to be long lost.

The five-colored mists transformed slowly, signaling the merging process of the essence liquid in the furnace.

However, making elixirs was not done after tossing the herbs into the furnace. One must continuously adjust the power of the fire and the combinations of the herbs. The process was almost the same as cooking which was not done the moment you dump the materials into the pot.

Sitting in the chair, Su Han watched the process without blinking, so was Zhao Yanzi who had never seen people make elixir before.

Half a step behind Zhao Guang, Premier Xia, and Elder Xingyue were also observing Xie Yujia’s movements and the slow turning of the furnace.

The furnace was special, and ordinary cultivators couldn’t turn it. Premier Xia and Elder Xingyue found it quite incredible to see a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator rotate the furnace with her cultivation strength.

They surmised that the secret lied with the golden and silver notes that were as big as half a thumb.

“Little White, more fire,” Xie Yujia told Little White.

However, it didn’t understand her. Therefore, Hao Ren had to take a step forward and gave a little pat on its rump.

Hiss… Another two dashes of flames shot from the space between its teeth, and the fire instantly surged high, illuminating the whole room in bright red.

Xie Yujia inhaled deeply, and her face grew grim.

If the process before this was heating the pot, the following part was the real cooking.

She raised her hands slowly, and the golden and silver notes surrounding her also rose.

The golden one was the Life Note or the Yang Note; the silver one was the Death Note or the Yin Note.

The change of Yin and Yang represented the shift of the world.

Hovering above the furnace, the golden note extracted traces of nature essence from the crack between the lid and the furnace. These traces were the five-elemental essences of the herbs.

Seeing the essences condense outside of the furnace, Su Han held her breath and didn’t move a muscle.

Zhao Yanzi got nervous as well; her hand moving quietly to hold Su Han’s arm.

Zhao Guang looked surprised since he had never seen such a mysterious method of making elixirs.

For Xie Yujia, it was as simple as tossing up ingredients in the pot in cooking! By doing this, she let the essence liquids receive heat evenly from Little White’s samadhi true fire!

Ordinary elixir masters would stew the elixirs according to their previous experiences. However, Xie Yujia used the extracting and absorbing functions of the Life-Death Note to turn the process into ‘quick frying!’

The golden Life Note pulled the five-element essences of the herbs to the outside of the furnace before the silver Death Note tossed them back into the furnace.

With the Nascent Soul Realm power inside these two notes, Xie Yujia carefully controlled the directions and the strengths of the notes.

“Dragon King, I’ve never seen this method of elixir making before,” Elder Xingyue took a step forward and whispered to Zhao Guang.

“It’s indeed powerful…” Zhao Guang exclaimed in a low voice. He looked lost while he watched the movements of Xie Yujia’s arms.

“She will become a powerful elixir master,” Elder Xingyue reminded him in a whisper.

Zhao Guang instantly understood her meaning. He nodded while a thought dawned on him.

Little Daoist Zhen was eccentric and rarely made elixirs. However, Xie Yujia would grow into a powerful elixir master.

Low-level elixirs were not very important to the dragon cultivators who could cultivate fast before Zhen-level; they had less value to the affluent East Ocean Dragon Clan members. However, high-level elixirs were strategic resources for them!

While they talked, Xie Yujia flicked her fingers, and the golden and silver notes each turned into ten smaller notes, circulating the furnace slowly.

A more intense aroma floated from the furnace.

It meant that the pills were almost done!

Standing close to the hot furnace, drops of sweat began to slide from Xie Yujia’s forehead down to her face and chin.

Hiss… The drops of sweat landed on the ground and instantly evaporated.

However, Xie Yujia didn’t dare to wipe her sweat since she had entered the most crucial stage of elixir making!

In this stage, Yin and Yang balanced each other, and the five-elemental essenes gave birth to each other.

Although the Beauty Pills were only level 2 elixir pills, she must be careful with the small details.

After all, it was her first time trying her hand at elixir making, and the herbs were so precious.

“Yujia, keep steady.”

Sensing the slight shaking of her body, Hao Ren blurted out.

Xie Yujia was indeed exhausted. Hearing Hao Ren’s encouragement, she gritted her teeth and poured out all her nature essence.

Ten small golden notes and ten small silver notes brightened instantly.

The flames whirled around the furnace between the notes like a small tornado!

The fire was divided into small threads of flames which engulfed the entire furnace. It was a feat only an advanced elixir master could achieve!

“Hey! Who’s in my room?”

Little Daoist Zhen’s voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere in the room.
