Huangfulin seemed quite surprised when he saw the visitor, "Master Hu, what are you..."
"Haha, fourth prince."
When the middle-aged man known as Master Hu saw Huangfulin, he laughed exaggeratedly and said, "I heard that the fourth prince wanted to refine a fifth-grade elixir. President Gu was in retreat and it was inconvenient to come. Come, so our Alchemist Association discussed it and recommended me to refine this elixir. I wonder what the Fourth Prince wants?"
"Uh, this..."
Huangfulin paused for a moment, then waved his hand, "Master Hu, let's talk inside."
Master Hu glanced suspiciously at Huangfulin and Shen Yue beside him, and frowned unconsciously, "Fourth Prince, this little brother is..."
"Haha, Master Hu, this is my friend Shen Yue."
"Shen Yue?"
Master Hu pondered for a moment, seeming to search for the name in his mind, but in the end he naturally found nothing, "Haha, brother Shen Yue, nice to meet you!"
Master Hu naturally called Shen Yue brother for the sake of the fourth prince, but although he was polite, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Shen Yue naturally saw this disdain, but he did not show it. He just smiled lightly and said, "Master Hu, you're welcome."
"You two, please come in."
Since the two people in front of him were here to help refine the elixir, Huangfulin was also very polite and invited Master Hu and Shen Yue into the palace.
There was a good alchemy furnace in the palace, as well as alchemy materials that had been prepared long ago, so Huangfulin didn't waste any time and took the two of them directly to the alchemy room.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Emperor Huangfu Haotian also came to the scene in person with several alchemists from the palace.
"Master Hu, how confident are you in refining the Resurrection Pill?"
As the emperor, Huangfu Haotian always spoke directly, and he did not need to mince words. "Because this resurrecting plant is extremely rare, the fourth prince only found one plant, so this elixir must be made in one furnace."
"Made in one furnace?"
Master Hu was stunned when he heard this, "This... let alone me, even if President Gu comes in person, he is only 80% sure at most."
"What about you?"
Huangfulin couldn't help but ask.
"I?"
Master Hu pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "At my current level, if I want to refine a fifth-grade high-quality elixir, the success rate should be about 60%."
"Sixty percent?"
Although Huangfu Haotian and his son both know that the success rate of refining fifth-grade elixirs is 60%, which is already very good. Alchemists like these alchemists supported by the palace, if they refine fifth-grade elixirs, even The success rate is not even 30%.
But today, they don’t want a few percent success rate, they want absolute success!
Therefore, in the face of Master Hu's answer, Huangfu Haotian shook his head calmly, "Master Hu, the imperial concubine is seriously ill and desperately needs a resurrecting pill to save her life. Therefore, the 60% success rate is still a bit low... …”
"Your Majesty, the fifth-grade elixir is extremely risky, and no one can definitely succeed!"
Master Hu knows very well about the Resurrection Pill. As far as the entire Daqian City is concerned, absolutely no one can achieve a probability of more than 80%, let alone in the palace.
Therefore, he decided that he would have to refine the elixir in the end.
"Brother Shen, how sure are you...?"
After listening to Master Hu's words, Huangfulin couldn't help but lose his original confidence in Shen Yue.
Just imagine, a sixteen or seventeen year old boy, no matter how talented he is, cannot be so defiant as to be beyond the reach of ordinary people. Being 100% sure is actually a bit difficult for others.
However, Shen Yue's answer was beyond his expectation, "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, don't worry. Now that I'm here, I will definitely help you refine the Resurrection Pill, and there will never be any mistakes."
"Hmph! What a shameless talk..."
When Master Hu heard this, he immediately let out a cold snort of disdain, "There will never be any mistakes? Little guy, if you can be so sure, I, Hu Qingshan, will kowtow three times and worship you as my teacher in front of the emperor!"
"Haha, there is no need to become a disciple, because I have no plans to accept apprentices yet."
Shen Yue thought for a moment and said, "However, if you want to bet on something else, I won't disappoint you."
"Hmph, that's good..."
Master Hu didn't believe that the little-known boy in front of him could refine the Resurrection Pill with complete confidence, so he said with confidence: "Then let's bet one million spiritual coins. As long as you If you can refine three furnaces of fifth-grade elixirs in a row, even if you win, what do you think?"
If refining a soul-reviving elixir in one furnace is considered a fluke, then refining three fifth-grade elixirs in three furnaces requires absolute strength and cannot be ambiguous at all.
Therefore, Master Hu finally had an extra thought and asked Shen Yue to refine three pills in a row to determine the outcome.
"Haha, you only need to bet one million spirit coins to refine three furnaces of elixirs. Isn't that a little too little?"
Master Hu was stunned for a moment. He didn't see why Shen Yue was so confident that he could refine three fifth-grade elixirs without making any mistakes. This was against common sense in the alchemy world.
"Huh? That's good..."
Although Master Hu was a little doubtful by Shen Yue's words, he still nodded without hesitation, "Then let's bet 10 million spirit coins. I want to see if you have the ability to take it."
When Shen Yue heard this, he only smiled faintly, and then turned to face Huangfu Haotian, "Your Majesty, you can begin."
"good!"
Seeing Shen Yue's confident look, a smile suddenly appeared on Huangfu Haotian's face. He waved his hand gently and said lightly, "Xie Liang, go and get the Resurrection Grass." Bring the materials, and by the way, get two more materials for the Void Refining Pill."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Behind Huangfu Haotian, an old man who also looked like an alchemist responded respectfully, and then hurried out the door.
It makes sense for Huangfu Haotian to ask Xie Liang to come up with three pieces of materials at once. Because even if Shen Yue was so sure, he still had some doubts. After all, this boy was too young, so young that people couldn't believe it. Dare to believe.
Therefore, he will let this young man refine two Void Refining Pills to try later.
He knew that refining the Void Refining Pill was actually as difficult as refining the Resurrection Pill, but one of the ingredients of the Resurrection Pill, the Resurrection Grass, was more rare.
After a while, Xie Liang came up with three portions of exotic flowers and herbs.
"Master Shen, please..."
Xie Liang placed the herbs in front of Shen Yue with a very respectful tone, because as a fourth-grade alchemist, he would need at least three to four years of hard work to refine these two elixirs. Not to mention the success rate.
