To my surprise, after years apart, Ginger Cloud's strength has increased significantly. He was even able to break through my blood-colored vortex.Jiang Yun, however, completely ignored the blood-stai...At this moment, Jiang Yun had already crossed his legs and sat down. Nine kinds of medicinal herbs hovered around him.

And before him, the colorless fire hung suspended in mid-air, flickering slightly.

Although Gingercloud hasn't started refining the pills yet, his demeanor clearly shows that he isn't planning to use any pill furnace. Instead, he's going to directly refine them with flames!

As all present were pharmacists, they naturally knew the difference between refining medicine with a cauldron and without one.

A dan furnace, besides the inscribed formations and restrictions on its surface that can aid in alchemy, creates a completely vacuum environment within. This prevents the medicinal ingredients and other materials inside from coming into contact with each other.

After all, the air is filled with all sorts of impurities.

Although invisible, impurities can easily adsorb to medicinal herbs when they are burned into a liquid. This can lead to a lower grade of the final elixir and may even prevent the successful refinement of the elixir.

However, Jiang Yun surprisingly didn't use a furnace and intended to refine the pills directly in the air. Moreover, he chose such a complex pill formula, which naturally greatly reduced his chances of success.

Although everyone had admiration for Gingercloud's previous performances, seeing this scene now made them shake their heads secretly.

"This old friend is really exaggerating."

"That's right. Not using a cauldron wouldn't be a big deal if we were refining low-grade pills, but the pill recipes Dan Daozi gave us are so complex that the resulting pills would definitely be of extremely high rank. Without a cauldron, there's almost no chance of success."

Perhaps his alchemy skills were not as good as Xu Lin's, so he thought of this way to attract the attention of the Dan Daozi.

Remember what Dan Daozi just said, it doesn't matter if he succeeds in refining the elixir in the end, what he cares about is the process of alchemy.

As for the discussions and chatter among the people, Ginger Cloud naturally heard them loud and clear.

In fact, he didn't have a dan furnace on him at all.

Since he became a monk, the only pill furnace he had was one he snatched from someone in Nánxīng City. Ironically, it exploded during a competition against others at Yào Shén Zong.

However, he doesn't need a furnace anymore!

Because when he received the inheritance of the Medicine God, he witnessed with his own eyes the process of the Medicine God refining the elixir for mending the heavens, which greatly shocked him.

Although his skill in alchemy couldn't compare to that of the Divine Alchemist, he never used a pill furnace again after that incident. He even abandoned the stone pot, which he had previously relied on the most.

Looking at Ginger Cloud's appearance, Dan Daozi hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but speak: "Ancient friend, do you need me to lend you a pill furnace"

Ginger didn't open her eyes and said, "No need. My alchemy furnace is right here; it's just that some people can see it while others can't."

"Pfft!"

As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, Xu Lin, who had been concentrating on refining the medicine all along, sneered without hesitation: "Senior Ancient Daoist, you'd better stop playing tricks here."

"Don't tell me your dantian is also colorless and transparent, so we can't see it!"

Ginger Yun completely ignored him, but Xu Lin persisted, "Old friend Gu, I admit I can't see your alchemy furnace. Why don't you just tell us what kind of furnace it is"

After a moment of silence, two words came softly from Ginger Cloud's mouth.

"Heaven and earth!"

The simple two words, falling into everyone's ears, caused everyone to be slightly stunned.

Before the crowd could understand the meaning of these two words, Jin Dan Daozi's voice suddenly rang out: "What a good Heaven and Earth as a pill furnace!"

"Haha, fellow cultivator, you truly impressed me! I look forward to your alchemy!"

Heaven and earth are the furnace!

If this were just what Ginger Cloud was saying, then perhaps most of the people present would scoff and think that Ginger Cloud was really being insincere.

But, with Dan Daozi's words that were clearly full of praise, everyone fell into deep thought!

To take heaven and earth as one's furnace of alchemy does not signify the height of one's skill in refining medicine. It represents a state of mind, an attitude, and a perspective!

Others cannot understand because they do not possess it. Only Dan Daozi, the head of Yaodaozong, can comprehend.

This state of mind and attitude, in fact, was not initially possessed by Ginger Cloud either. It was truly possessed by the Medicine God!

With heaven and earth as the cauldron, and all things as medicine, a wave of the hand can mend the heavens!

Although Jiang Yun is still a long way from reaching the level of the Divine Physician, at least he's already on that path!

Next, no one spoke again. Everyone stared intently at Jiang Yun and Xu Lin's alchemy process.

Let's put aside the topic of the pill furnace for now. The process of the two individuals refining pills is also clearly different.

Xu Lin was directly refining, and nine kinds of medicinal herbs had already been put into the Xuexian furnace by him, starting to burn.

Moreover, this herb is extremely precious. To completely burn it into a liquid would obviously take quite some time, so he was able to distract himself by mocking Jiang Yun just now.

Jiang Yun still hadn't started refining, though he had his eyes closed. However, the nine herbs around him were swirling continuously, clearly as he was carefully observing and analyzing their characteristics.

Just like that, when Xu Lin had already begun to put in the fifth kind of material, Jiang Yun finally moved.

Unlike Xu Lin, he threw all nine herbs into the colorless flame at once!

The different methods of burning medicinal herbs individually or simultaneously naturally have their distinctions. They test the alchemist's mastery over fire power.

As for this, no one found it surprising. Jiang Yun indeed possessed astonishing control over fire power. Therefore, dividing the colorless fire into nine strands to simultaneously burn these herbs wasn't particularly difficult.

Because Jiang Yun didn't use a pill furnace, everyone could clearly see his alchemy process.

The nine medicinal herbs before Jiang Yun gradually melted after a few breaths, beginning to transition into a liquid state.

According to the speed at which the medicinal herbs melted, it wasn't hard for everyone to judge that Jiang Yun's speed in burning the medicinal herbs was a bit faster than Xu Lin's.

Xu Lin naturally also discovered this, his face darkened as he took out a pill and swallowed it. The spiritual energy released from his hands suddenly increased significantly.

Clearly, the pill he swallowed could temporarily boost his spiritual energy, allowing him to burn the herbs faster.

With the help of the elixir, Xu Lin's speed of burning the medicinal herbs did indeed increase considerably.

After about half an hour, the medicinal herbs of both people had almost all turned into liquid at the same time.

Next, the medicine will be fused.

Watching Jiang Yun and Xu Lin move at nearly identical speeds, everyone's hearts couldn't help but rise with anticipation.

Because the fusion potion is the most likely to backfire.

However, what they didn't expect was that the moment they had this thought, two deafening booms rang out simultaneously.

Ginger Yun and Xu Lin both ended up exploding in flames!

This surprised everyone, as both of them had the exact same time for the furnace blast.

However, in their opinion, these two people were indeed evenly matched in alchemy, which is why such a situation arose.

However, they did not notice that Jiang Yun and Xu Lin were looking at each other at this moment, and in each other's eyes, they both saw a hint of shock!

Only Dan Daozi noticed this, but he didn't speak. He just revealed a mysterious and profound smile on his face.
