Chapter 2164
Bang!
Under this terrifying force, Xiao Chen’s body instantly smashed into the wall of the room.
“Pfft …” Xiao Chen instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. With his current cultivation in the Perfected Immortal Realm, he simply could not resist this old man at all. The old man could kill him with a wave of his hand.
Xiao Chen glared at the old man with anger in his eyes.
After all, no matter who it was, they would not feel good suddenly. However, in the end, he still endured it and did not say anything. He also forcibly suppressed his anger.
In his heart, he remembered Donghuang Zhong’s words. To take on this kind of task, one must be able to endure hardship and grievances!
These would only be beneficial for him to survive in the Immortal World.
Therefore, Xiao Chen quickly adjusted his emotions and mentality. Then, he slowly stood up from the ground and walked back to his original position. He stood there respectfully and did not say anything.
Although he had long known that he would encounter these people with strange tempers, he did not expect to encounter such a person for the first time. However, Xiao Chen still constantly reminded himself that he must endure it. He must endure it.
After seeing Xiao Chen’s action, a trace of surprise flashed in the elder’s eyes. Then, he snorted coldly. “I hate people like you who lie the most in my life, especially people who overestimate themselves. I’ll give you another chance. Tell me the information just now. How much do you know?”
“I’ll remember all of it!” Xiao Chen took a deep breath but showed no signs of changing his words.
“Haha, you’re really arrogant. In that case, don’t blame me for making things difficult for you later. If you make any mistakes in the process of helping later, not only will you not be able to stay in the inner sect, but you will also not be able to enter the outer sect. I’ll destroy your cultivation and throw you out!” The old man grinned. However, the smile and the words he said were simply like the devil’s.
Xiao Chen resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He had already scolded this old man in his heart. Damn it, how could there be such an arrogant person?
Her temper wasn’t just weird, it was unreasonable, alright?!
This old man said that he couldn’t remember it, but it didn’t mean that others couldn’t. That’s right, Xiao Chen didn’t remember it by himself, but he had Donghuang Zhong.
This was no different from him memorizing it himself. In short, there wouldn’t be any mistakes in the process. But this old man, upon hearing that he had mastered it, gave him a slap on the face without saying anything …
“Begin!”
The corners of the old man’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. He then directly activated the alchemy furnace in the room.
“Throw in one and a half sets of Purple Sun Grass, half sets of Fragmented Wood, two sets of Ice Soul Stones …”
Not long after starting the alchemy furnace, the elder spoke up.
“Yes!”
Therefore, he agreed. At the same time, he quickly and accurately placed all the medicinal herbs that this guy had just named into the pill furnace in an orderly manner.
“Interesting. Looks like I have grasped quite a bit of information just now.” The elder smiled faintly when he saw what was happening. However, the speed at which he spoke became faster and faster.
“Starsoul Wood, Osmanthus Jade, Silver Leaf Grass, Heart’s Lantern Flower …”
The speed at which the old man spoke became faster and faster. In the end, the materials that he named became more and more difficult to identify.
After naming over a hundred types of herbs, Xiao Chen accurately threw them into the cauldron at the same time.
“Oh … This brat seems to be really powerful.”
When the elder saw that Xiao Chen’s movements were not only fast but also accurate, his eyes revealed a surprised expression for the first time.
But following that, he quickly called out a few more difficult to identify medicinal herbs.
“Thousand Stone, Lingzhi Dew, God Vanquishing Flower …”
Although the old man spoke faster and faster, Xiao Chen was still able to meet the requirements at the same time. Moreover, he perfectly placed the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace.
As time passed, the surprised expression in the elder’s eyes became more and more intense. Very soon, it turned into praise. This was because Xiao Chen really wasn’t boasting. He actually completely understood the information in the jade slip. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach this level.
“Hundred Leaves Grass, Resurrection Flower …”
The speed of the elder’s speech suddenly became calm and he read out the names of tens of medicinal herbs one by one. However, suddenly, Xiao Chen’s hands stopped moving. He stopped and looked at the elder.
“Hmm?
Why did you suddenly stop?
Did I say you could stop?! “The elder’s expression instantly froze and became stern.
“No!” Xiao Chen immediately replied.
“Then why did you suddenly stop?
Is it because you didn’t completely grasp the information just now? Did you mix up the medicinal herbs that I mentioned just now? “A cold look appeared in the elder’s eyes again.
“No, it’s just that I feel that the pill that Elder is refining this time should be the Thousand Faces Pill. However, when refining this pill, the Immortal Ginseng Leaf and the Bodhi Wood can’t be added at the same time. Otherwise, it will cause the medicinal effects to clash. Moreover, you just called out the names of these two medicinal herbs, so I stopped.” Xiao Chen quickly replied.
“You can actually tell what pill this old man is refining?” The elder was slightly surprised when he heard this.
“Yes!”
“Didn’t you say at the beginning that you had never come into contact with anything related to alchemy?
How can you tell what pill this old man is refining? “The elder’s expression instantly became stern and his body even emitted a hint of killing intent.
“Elder, the jade slip that you just gave this disciple contains a lot of information. Apart from some basic knowledge of medicinal herbs and medicinal theory, it also introduced some of the more common pill refining methods and other knowledge related to ammunition.
He also introduced some of the more common pill refinement methods, as well as other knowledge regarding ammunition. That was how I was able to deduce that you were going to refine the Thousand Faces Pill from the large amount of materials you required. If I have made a mistake, please punish me, Elder, “Xiao Chen said calmly.
“You … Could it be that you were able to guess that this old man is refining this type of pill just because you saw the information in the jade slip and also found out where this old man made a mistake?” This time, the elder was really a little surprised.
“Yes, if Elder doesn’t believe this disciple, this disciple can swear a life oath that this disciple has never deeply studied the knowledge of alchemy before today.” Xiao Chen replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
“Oh … If that’s really the case …” The elder sighed softly but didn’t finish his sentence. Instead, he looked at the medicinal herbs in Xiao Chen’s hands and said faintly, “Then continue.”
“Yes!”
However, just as they were about to continue, a violent voice suddenly sounded from outside the room.
