Chapter 1463 The supreme treasure
Before Xiaodou really helped, various possibilities flashed in Meng Xiang's mind, but when he really took action, he thought things too complicated. In fact, Xiaodou's solution to the problem was quite simple, and he just took it himself.
Xiaodou jumped directly to the place where the Demon Tower of Zhentian refined elixirs, stood beside him, and then asked Meng Xiang to deliver various medicinal materials to him according to the records in the elixir recipe, and he personally sent them into the furnace. Then he used a special envoy method to establish an extremely close connection with the spirit of the Demon Tower of Zhentian, and even reached the level of being indistinguishable from each other.
When Xiaodou directly participated in the elixir, the situation immediately became different. When Meng Xiang participated in the refining of elixirs the first two times, the process of elixir was like lying on the back of a wild horse that had not been domesticated. He could not subdue it at all. Not to mention letting it move forward according to the route he set, Xiaodou was different. The horse he was riding had been completely domesticated. He could not only let it run in the direction he wanted it to go, but also control its speed, slow rhythm and other details.
Seeing Xiaodou's alchemy process, Meng Xiang couldn't help feeling ashamed. The gap between him and him was too huge, but at the same time, his heart was relieved. His performance was so good. I think there should be no problem in successfully refining the four ancient prescriptions.
Meng Xiang looked at him seriously. Although Xiaodou is now in charge of the alchemy process and he doesn't need to worry about it at all, he is unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to learn. Although he has never thought of becoming a master of alchemy, such opportunities are rare. It is a pity to give up. Besides, the skills are too strong and it will not be too much to suppress one's body.
The more he looked at it, the more Meng Xiang admired Xiaodou. He was indeed much stronger than him, and the gap was much bigger than what he thought before, forcing him to convince, and his mood was getting better and better, because a feeling slowly emerged in his heart. Maybe this time Xiaodou would bring him greater surprises.
Only less than one-third of Meng Xiang's previous two pills were made, and the pill was released. However, after Meng Xiang saw the pills he refined, he couldn't help but show a look of shock, and his eyes widened, as if he was afraid.
Because of seeing Xiaodou's level of alchemy, Meng Xiang's confidence in Xiaodou has increased to a very high level. He can definitely refine high-quality elixirs, but the result has shattered all his beautiful fantasies, and it is completely shattered, and even he can't find any reason to find excuses for him.
One? According to normal standards, one furnace should have thirty-six elixirs, but only one was produced. It would be fine if the quality of this elixir is very good, but it is the secondiest, even much worse than the worst elixir he refined for the first time. He couldn't even afford the word "reduced". It was simply a defective product among the defective products.
According to the description in the pill recipe, the best-quality pills refined should be as beautiful as the moon and crystal clear as the pigeon egg. Their unique fragrance is refreshing and refreshing. However, the pills refined by the little beans are not next to it. Not only are they of the color, they are the same color as the damp wall skin, but they are also moldy. As for the crystal clear pills, they are not even more slight. They are also small, only the size of fingertips, and they are very irregular, just like a piece of earthy trash, with no fragrance at all. With Meng Xiang's keen sense of smell, they didn't smell a trace.
"This...this..." Seeing such an "excellent" pill, Meng Xiang was speechless. The contrast was too huge. With his mental state of mind, he also maintained a calm state. However, what made Meng Xiang even more unacceptable was that Xiaodou failed to refine the pill so much that he did not show any shame, but instead asked him to give him the medicinal materials needed for the next pill without hesitation.
Meng Xiang finally gave Xiaodou the medicinal materials. Except for him who can only choose him now, the main reason was that he suddenly realized that the pill that seemed to fail seemed not that simple.
Meng Xiang saw Xiaodou's alchemy process, and he watched it with the heavenly eyes. Some extremely subtle details could not escape his eyes, and there was no difference from the process recorded on the elixir. In addition, some details were even better. What is commendable is that there was no trace of difference in the entire alchemy process.
The entire alchemy process is simply perfect. According to the principle, such a perfect alchemy process cannot fail. Not only should it not fail, but a considerable number of top-quality elixirs should also appear. It is not surprising that even a furnace of elixirs are top-quality. Maybe only one of the defective and inferior elixirs appeared in the end? It doesn’t make sense.
Combined with Xiaodou's performance, Meng Xiang became more sure that there was something wrong with the pill. Although his understanding of Xiaodou was not as good as his understanding of him, he knew some of his tempers and personalities. The most profound thing that impressed him was his arrogance. Although he would not deliberately show this arrogance when communicating with him, and even concealed it so as not to make him uncomfortable, he could still feel it because arrogance had penetrated into his bone marrow and could not be changed at all.
With Xiaodou's arrogance, if he really beat the elixir, although he deserves to face him, he would never be so calm. However, he acted so naturally that even the deliberately concealed arrogance was revealed. Then, in his opinion, there was only one possibility. It was not that the elixir was refining extremely badly, but that the refining was extremely successful, otherwise these unreasonable aspects would not be explained at all.
Meng Xiang also decided to pay attention to Xiaodou's alchemy while paying attention to some of the extremely eye-catching elixirs to see if it was as extraordinary as expected, but the result disappointed him. Although he observed it very carefully, he still couldn't see any special features of it, and even with the sky eyes.
Unable to figure out the situation of a small projectile, Meng Xiang would not be willing to do so, so he just pondered for a moment and decided to adopt a method that was more capable and more likely to figure out its situation. He wanted to break the appearance of it and see if there was a secret hidden inside it, but he did not do so in the end.
This is not because Meng Xiang suddenly changed his mind, but because he was stopped, it was Xiaodou. He told him that it is best not to move it before taking it, so as not to lose the power of the medicine and thus not achieve the best effect. Once the pressure of this pill is lost, it may not be possible to reach a delicate balance with other pills, resulting in unpredictable variables.
Meng Xiang decided to accept Xiaodou's warning. Although he was really curious, Xiaodou would never harm him. He would say this must be out of kindness and for his own good. There is another reason. He thought of a way that could verify his guess without having to do something about the elixir. Just wait until the next elixir is released.
If the pills refined by Xiaodou's second furnace are the same as the first furnace, then he can conclude that the pills refined by Xiaodou must be extraordinary. They are not only inferior products among the defective products, but also the best products among the best products. They are said to have reached the state of returning to nature. Since he has some understanding of alchemy, it is difficult for him to refine the best elixir, but it is even more difficult to ignore the defective products among the exact same defective products, because there may be only one possibility of success, but there are countless possibilities for failure.
While Meng Xiang was waiting, the second furnace of elixirs refined by Xiaodou was finally released. Although the use was still much shorter than the one recorded in the elixir recipe, it was not as low as the ratio used in the first furnace. However, when he saw the elixirs released from the second furnace, everything in Meng Xiang's heart was finally wiped out.
Although the new elixirs and the elixirs released in the first furnace are not similar in terms of specific forms, and they are not even much similar, in terms of their temperament, they are so imaginative, so ordinary and inconspicuous. If he hadn't understood the situation, someone told him that they were just two small pieces of soil, he would not have doubted it.
After Xiaodou refined the second of the remaining four elixirs, he had no intention of resting. He immediately urged Meng Xiang to prepare the medicinal materials for the third elixir and handed them over to him. He even asked him to prepare the medicinal materials for the fourth elixir. He also put forward specific requirements on the medicinal materials, including the year, portion status, etc.
Although Meng Xiang did not say that everything was done as fast as Xiaodou said, he did not do it, but he vaguely felt that Xiaodou had something abnormal. However, he could not find it out and could only keep it in his heart. While observing Xiaodou's alchemy, he also paid attention to him to see if there was a problem with him.
Before all four elixirs were refined, Meng Xiang did not see any abnormalities in Xiaodou. His performance was still so perfect. The only abnormality he noticed was that he used to refine elixirs longer and longer. By the time he refined the fourth elixir, his use time was as recorded in the pill recipe, but this did not attract enough attention from him. He just thought that the difficulty of refining the elixirs later was more difficult than before.
However, when Xiaodou handed the fourth elixir to Meng Xiang, Meng Xiang realized that he had indeed neglected the most critical abnormality. Xiaodou's elixir has become longer, not because the difficulty of refining the elixir has increased. With his ability, the increase in the difficulty of refining the elixir is not counted for him at all, but because there is a problem with his body.
Almost the moment the fourth pill was handed over to Meng Xiang, Xiaodou's body changed a lot. Originally, Xiaodou was in a fat baby, but now he was shriveled in front of Meng Xiang. Not only did he become thin, but his skin also became saggy and ugly, just like the skin of an old man in the evening.
To be honest, the huge changes that happened to Xiaodou did scare Meng Xiang. He never thought that he would become like this, and even made him a little dumbfounded. He couldn't speak for a long time, but Xiaodou comforted him.
