Upon hearing that alchemy requires an Elixir Furnace, Yue Jinghua was momentarily stunned.
Just as Ancient Summoners need to possess a Summoning Treasure Book to perform Summoning Techniques, the Alchemy Master World has long established the rule that Pill Masters require an Elixir Furnace in alchemy.
A good Elixir Furnace can enhance an Alchemist’s control over the heat of the Elixir Pills, and there are even legends that top-notch Elixir Furnaces could achieve a mental link with the Alchemist.
Once fused with the consciousness of the Alchemist, it is said one could refine Holy-grade or even Divine-grade Elixir Pills. However, this is merely part of legend, as the Canglong Continent hasn’t seen such Elixir Pills for many years.
But since Qing Pu was able to invent a Summoning Array without a Summoning Treasure Book, accordingly, it suggests that alchemy could possibly be performed without an Elixir Furnace.
Most of the high-level and middle-level Alchemists on the continent, once they possess outstanding fire control ability, often practice Fire Refining Pill without using an Elixir Furnace. After Feng Wanwan became a high-level Alchemist, she hardly ever used an Elixir Furnace for alchemy.
Hence, among the items gifted to Yue Jinghua by Sha Fei, there was no Elixir Furnace included.
It is known that Yue Jinghua’s alchemy began with the use of Green Lotus Chaos Fire, and only in her very first attempt did she use an Elixir Furnace.
However, the Chaos Green Lotus Fire is a Divine Fire, and common Elixir Furnaces would be damaged after just a few uses.
Adhering to the principle that wasting is shameful, Yue Jinghua generally preferred to use fire directly for alchemy.
But now, in the full view of the public, and having already drawn attention for being late, if Yue Jinghua were to say, "May I refine without a furnace?" it would be like courting death.
After much deliberation, Yue Jinghua had no choice but to steel herself and go select an Elixir Furnace.
Ordinary furnaces, in terms of material, are made of either stone or bronze. Better ones consist of jade and gold tripods.
Because Yue Jinghua arrived late, most of the better furnaces prepared by the palace had already been selected by others. Some people came with their own furnaces, leaving only these few pieces that at a glance seemed like inferior goods, ancient and old, some even showing rust spots, and it was uncertain whether the Dan they refined would be affected, strange flavors or mold are not fun at all.
To the side, Lie Sisi, who was surrounded by a crowd of young Pill Masters, sneered in her heart, quite pleased with herself.
"Miss Lie, you didn’t choose a furnace; did you bring your own?" A young Alchemist asked.
"My furnace is here," Lie Sisi said with pride, seeing Yue Jinghua picking through the rubbish, she took a case from her bosom, opened it, and inside there lay a palm-sized Elixir Furnace.
When it comes to shape, the Elixir Furnaces on the Canglong Continent for alchemy typically come in a few forms, the most common being the tripod with three legs, a bulging belly and wide mouth, mostly waist-high.
However, the furnace in Lie Sisi’s hands looked like a toad with a belly, the mouth of the toad serving as the lid of the furnace, and it was glittering with gold, not resembling an Elixir Furnace, but more like an art piece for people to admire.
How could one refine pills with a palm-sized Elixir Furnace?
While everyone was still surprised, they saw Lie Sisi’s wrist flick, and the furnace spun up from her palm, flying into the nearby set-up Elixir Fire Array.
Midair, the furnace radiated a dazzling golden light, its body growing continuously, and when it landed on the ground, there was a loud "clang" sound as the furnace became half a person tall, with its belly expanding several sizes.
"Wow, it’s a high-grade Spiritual Treasure, the Golden Toad Tripod," the Gold Eater Worm reacted even faster than Yue Jing, smelling the aura exuding from the tripod and started to call out excitedly.
It is rumored that the Golden Toad Tripod was refined from the Dark Pill of a fifth-rank Golden Toad, which makes the quality of the pills refined from this tripod higher than that of ordinary pills.
"Wow, actually using the Golden Toad Tripod for alchemy doesn’t directly improve the grade of the Elixir Pills. The reason why the pills seem of higher quality is because the golden toad tripod spontaneously consumes Elixir Energy. You just need to keep your distance from that ill-intentioned woman. As for those unlucky fellows gathered around her, once the tripod sucks up the Elixir Energy in their furnaces, heh, I’m afraid they will die a terrible death; let’s just wait and enjoy the show," no one among all the people present, admiring the Spiritual Treasure Lie Sisi presented, knew the secret behind this tripod.
After receiving a warning from the Gold Eater Worm, although Yue Jinghua was shocked and wondered where Lie Sisi had obtained such a domineering Elixir Furnace, she became more cautious.
"I’ll choose this furnace," after much selection, Yue Jinghua finally found a relatively clean Wood Tripod. The furnace itself wasn’t important to her; as long as it was fit to refine, she was confident in producing pills of middle or better quality.
