Chapter 1111: Testing the Medicine Again
"Haha, believe in miracles, right?"
Chen Tianlong was just joking and didn’t really believe there would be twenty pills.
The two rested for about twenty minutes, then got up and walked to the Divine Cauldron. By this time, the charcoal fire had already gone out. Tan Tian seemed a bit nervous, his right hand trembling as he held the tongs.
"Master, it’s okay, however many we get is fine." Chen Tianlong comforted him.
Tan Tian nodded, directly grabbing the lid of the alchemy furnace with the tongs. A pink gas emerged as he lifted it, leaving Chen Tianlong staring wide-eyed, surprised by the pink Powerful Qi.
No wonder the Super Qi Gathering Pill can upgrade Celestial Dao practitioners consecutively; it must contain a large amount of Celestial Dao Qi, otherwise how could it be pink.
After the smoke dissipated, Tan Tian fanned the mouth of the furnace a few times, then scooped inside with a ladle, placing whatever he got into a large bowl beside him.
With each scoop yielding three pills, Tan Tian slowly lifted his hand, eyes glued to the mouth of the furnace, his heart pounding anxiously, almost jumping out. He was holding his breath.
In the next moment, golden pills appeared before his eyes, smaller than they had imagined, but the color was very unusual.
It was Tan Tian’s first time seeing such pills in so many years; they looked just like golden pearls, shining brightly and perfectly smooth.
"Wow, Master, are these the Super Qi Gathering Pills? Why do they look different from the ones we ate before?" Chen Tianlong had eaten one before, which seemed to be black.
"Haha, we succeeded, and the purity reached its peak, infinitely close to one hundred percent. If I’m not mistaken, this Super Qi Gathering Pill might let you level up three times in succession, but only between Celestial Dao level one to five stars, excluding any other levels." Tan Tian rejoiced upon seeing the color.
Originally, he believed the reduced version of the Qi Gathering Pill could only achieve ninety-five percent purity, and the glossy black pills were already very good. But unexpectedly, they crafted golden pills.
It’s worth knowing that golden Qi Gathering Pills are rare in the world. If Chen Tianlong’s original materials could achieve such results, perhaps just two pills might break through the legendary Extreme Dao.
"Hehe, I told you, our master-student cooperation must be a success." Chen Tianlong grinned.
But then, to their amazement, after Tan Tian scooped five ladles, he unexpectedly found there were still more pills inside.
It seems not just satisfied, but overwhelmingly successful, fifteen materials yielding fifteen pills—a heaven-defying achievement, and even more remain.
"Master, it looks like there are more than fifteen; please scoop some more."
Chen Tianlong was extremely excited; the Master had previously said more than fifteen was impossible. Now, what is going on?
After finally scooping all of them, the two stared at the large bowl with twenty golden pills, unable to believe their eyes. These pills were golden in color, radiating a mysterious glow, evidently the first-rate quality.
"Twenty pills, gosh, twenty pills! Tianlong, pinch me, am I dreaming?" Tan Tian clearly couldn’t believe his eyes; this was too unexpected.
"Master, you’re not dreaming. It’s really twenty pills; maybe it’s the bounty brought by the True Divine Cauldron." Chen Tianlong recalled the Wu Family’s Divine Cauldron. Earlier, a master from the Celestial Pill Sect came to seize it, so this alchemy furnace must be very unique.
"Haha, truly? That’s great!" Tan Tian lifted the large bowl, taking a closer look, then walked out of the alchemy room with Chen Tianlong.
Arriving in the main hall, Tan Tian hurried back to his room to get his glasses and, with excitement, picked up a pill, saying, "This is an extremely concentrated Super Qi Gathering Pill. Due to material limitations, we could only create a reduced version, and that’s a pity; otherwise, a regular Super Qi Gathering Pill could break through four levels. This one might top out at three."
"Hehe, three levels is already incredible," Chen Tianlong laughed.
"Hmm, here, Chen Tianlong, try it. You are Celestial Dao five stars, right? According to my estimates, you should break through to six stars with two pills. But... the pills just came out of the furnace and haven’t been tested yet; maybe we should find someone else?" Tan Tian voiced sudden concern.
The Super Qi Gathering Pills in hand, if there were no accidents, should be flawless, but Tan Tian was worried about that one-in-a-million chance.
"No need, Master. I’ve already walked through the gates of hell once; don’t worry about me. I’ll try the pills. If successful, then Wushuang and the others can quickly level up."
Chen Tianlong thought of Lin Wushuang and Liu Ting, who urgently needed to advance, so he summoned his courage, having tried pills before, believing he wouldn’t die.
"Tianlong, this..."
"Don’t worry."
With that, Chen Tianlong picked up two golden Super Qi Gathering Pills and swallowed them with a gulp, not even needing water, as the pill was exceptionally smooth and even smaller than the regular ones.
"Wow, they taste good, sliding straight to the stomach, hehe."
Even after taking the pills, Chen Tianlong couldn’t resist making a joke.
But just after speaking, he felt his face heat up, and his body started reacting.
No wonder, as most people would struggle with just one pill; he took two at once, so the reaction was bound to be intense.
Tan Tian was startled, quickly dashing to the side to get a kettle and pour Chen Tianlong a cup of hot water. Chen Tianlong understood immediately, taking it and gulping it down.
Yet he still felt thirsty.
"Master, give me the kettle."
Without more explanation, Chen Tianlong grabbed the kettle from Tan Tian and gulped it down. After the two Super Qi Gathering Pills melted, they released powerful qi, triggering a fierce chemical reaction inside Chen Tianlong, significantly dehydrating him.
And dehydration needed water replenishment, as is the law of nature.
Watching Chen Tianlong continuously drink water, Tan Tian was dumbfounded, but seeing he hadn’t stopped yet, Tan Tian thought quickly and hurriedly fetched a jug from the nearby water dispenser in case Chen Tianlong wanted more.
Sure enough, as soon as the jug arrived, Chen Tianlong put down the kettle and approached the dispenser, striking it open with a slap, hugging the jug, and began drinking. The scene was spectacular and impressive.
"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me." Tan Tian was a bit worried and asked urgently.
"Master, I’m so thirsty; it must be the reaction from the Super Qi Gathering Pills." Chen Tianlong explained quickly.
"Ah? Is there a problem with the pills we refined?" Tan Tian asked.
"No, it’s probably the effect of taking two." Chen Tianlong chuckled ruefully, but now wasn’t the time for chatting; he had no choice but to keep drinking water, his stomach ballooning like pregnancy.
"I can’t hold it; I have to use the bathroom, or I’ll burst." After drinking too much, Chen Tianlong rushed to the bathroom with the jug, leaving Tan Tian dumbfounded and at a loss.
