Chapter 86: Familiar Tattered Furnace
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this. Only He Xueyao’s eyes flashed as she looked at Lin Bai without batting an eyelid.
He Qicheng looked as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. His eyes revealed a disdainful expression. “Just you? You think you can refine a seventh grade spirit replenishing pill. Why don’t you look at who you are.”
Even Chen Yan felt the same. He sized up Lin Bai from head to toe and shook his head. “It’s a good thing for young people to be confident. However, you shouldn’t boast like this.”
Why were high-grade alchemists so rare? It was because not only it required extremely high talent to become, but they also needed the support of a large amount of financial resources. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Bai had nothing to do with these two things.
Ordinary medicinal pills were fine, and ordinary herbs were not worth much. However, if they were exchanged for high-grade medicinal pills, not only would some medicinal herbs be worth thousands of gold coins, they would even be priceless. It was very difficult to obtain them.
The process of refining pills was not easy either. The slightest carelessness would cause the furnace to explode. All the effort put into it would be wasted. Chen Yan was only a fifth-grade alchemist when he was around forty years old. Although he was not particularly powerful, he could still be considered to have made some achievements.
“To be able to refine a seventh grade spirit replenishing pill, one must be at least a sixth grade alchemist and it still might not succeed. Do you think you can refine it?”
Faced with everyone’s doubts, Lin Bai’s expression was calm. He said confidently, “Yes, I can refine it.”
He Qicheng only thought that he was trying to stall for time. That was why he spoke in this manner, “Do you think that we will believe this kind of nonsense that is riddled with loopholes! Even if an immortal came, he wouldn’t be able to save you.”
He was about to make a move, but he was stopped by someone. He turned his head and saw that it was actually He Fan. He immediately said in disbelief, “Big brother, why did you stop me? ! I want to kill this brat to avenge Linsheng.”
He Fan glanced at Lin Bai. Even at the critical moment of life and death, his expression did not change. The calmness on his body carried an inexplicable sense of trust, which made people unable to help but believe what he had just said.
“Even if you kill him, you won’t be able to repair Linsheng’s damaged spirit vein. Right now, all the grade seven alchemists in the city have been secretly summoned, and their whereabouts are unknown. We have no other choice at this moment.”
The meaning of his words was to let Lin Bai try.
He Qicheng was in disbelief. “Big brother! Are you confused? You actually believed the nonsense of this stinky brat. Who knows what kind of intentions he has, and whether he will secretly do something.”
What he said was not without reason. After all, He Linsheng and Lin Bai had old grudges. However, there were only two paths in front of them now. Even if He Linsheng’s spirit vein could be repaired, his cultivation level would drop drastically and he would miss the competition. His future would be ruined.
If they let Lin Bai try and he could really repair it, then everything would be different.
He Fan said with an ugly expression, “Then what choice do you want me to make? Do you want me to watch Linsheng face the cruel reality after he wakes up?”
Chen Yan added from the side, “The sixth grade spirit replenishing pill can repair the spirit vein, but in the future, the spirit vein will be extremely weak and needs to be nurtured properly. We must not allow any further damage. Otherwise, I’m afraid that his entire cultivation path would be ruined.”
He spoke of the ugly side first, in case any accidents happened in the future and the He family members came looking for trouble.
Hearing these words, the brothers’ expressions became even more unsightly. He Qicheng gritted his teeth and said, “If it really can’t be done, I’ll send people to inquire about the whereabouts of those seventh grade alchemists right now!”
He Fan sighed. “You know the city lord’s methods. Since he has secretly gathered them together, how could we possibly know? It’s just a futile effort.”
The two of them didn’t notice that Chen Yan wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, they thought about it and still didn’t say anything. Lin Bai saw all of this, and a little doubt surfaced in his heart.
“Since things have come to this, let him try.”
Although He Qicheng was extremely unwilling, there was nothing he could do. He glared fiercely at Lin Bai. “If you, kid, dare to do anything in the dark and let anything happen to Linsheng, I’ll definitely bury you with him!”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a fool. If anything happens to him, I won’t be able to escape either. Smart people know what to do.”
Hearing this, He Fan and He Qicheng’s expressions finally became much better.
Although Chen Yan felt that the two brothers were playing a child’s game, after all, how old was Lin Bai? How could he possibly refine a seventh grade spirit replenishing pill? However, he couldn’t say anything. After all, this was the He family’s own choice.
He could also understand their feelings. As long as there was a glimmer of hope in front of them, no matter how unreliable it was, they were willing to give it a try. They stayed behind with the mentality of watching the show, intending to see how Lin Bai would end up.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Bai formed a seal with his hands. Seeing that he was extremely familiar with the technique, Chen Yan revealed a rather appreciative expression. A flash of inspiration appeared, and a pitch-black, dilapidated-looking small cauldron appeared in their field of vision.
As expected, when everyone saw Lin Bai’s small tattered cauldron, they revealed an extremely disdainful expression.
He Qicheng wanted to interrupt Lin Bai on the spot. He could not help but mock, “What kind of good medicinal pill can this small broken cauldron refine!”
Seeing how unreliable Lin Bai was, He Fan’s heart wavered. He wanted to stop the pill refinement, but he saw Lin Bai say,
“Refining medicinal pills doesn’t depend on whether the furnace is good or bad. The person who refines the pills is me, not this cauldron. Why do you all care so much?”
One sentence made them speechless. After thinking carefully, it was indeed true.
Just as they were speaking, Lin Bai had already thrown in a few precious herbs to refine the spirit replenishing pill. He Qicheng and He Fan’s faces were filled with heartache as they watched.
One had to know that these herbs were obtained by spending a large amount of money and means. If the pill refinement failed, all of these would turn into nothingness. They began to regret their decision back then.
However, things had already come to this point. The refinement had already begun. If they stopped now, it would feel as if they were giving it away for free. It would be better to let Lin Bai continue refining.
