Chapter 2538: Using the Palm as a Furnace
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond to Fang Bai at the moment.He knew that immortals like Fang Bai, who were young and highly talented, often had high aspirations. If he directly refused, it might make Fang Bai unhappy.
But if he agreed outright, it would seem a bit hasty.
"Well..."
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s mind raced, thinking about how best to respond to Fang Bai.
"I can perform alchemy!"
Fang Bai seemed to understand the dilemma in the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s heart, smiled, and said, "So... there shouldn’t be a problem for me to become an Elder of Tribute, right?"
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor raised an eyebrow doubtfully and said, "Immortal Friend... do you really know the Alchemy Dao?"
His doubts stemmed from Fang Bai’s young immortal age, as even if Fang Bai knew the Alchemy Dao, he feared Fang Bai might only be a novice, with the ability to make true Immortal Pills still in question.
Fang Bai extended his left hand, and a cluster of flame rose from his palm; then he extended his right hand, where a blue aura swirled.
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s gaze fell on the swirling blue aura in Fang Bai’s right hand, exclaiming, "You... you are actually a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root of fire and wood!"
He had thought Fang Bai was the same as the Dragon Maiden, possessing an Innate Fire Spirit Root, but witnessing the pure and dense Wood Immortal Qi gathered in Fang Bai’s right palm, he realized he had misjudged.
This Fang Bai possessed two types of Innate Spiritual Roots within him, far exceeding his expectations.
Moreover, having both fire and wood Innate Spiritual Roots, if he ventured into alchemy and received guidance from an alchemist, he could very likely become an outstanding alchemist.
Suddenly, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s eyes brightened, and he couldn’t suppress his excitement.
If Fang Bai could truly refine Immortal Pills and was willing to join Fire Dragon Island, it would be crucial for the island’s future glory, so why not offer him a position as Elder of Tribute?
"Currently, I can refine Immortal Pills below the high Immortal Emperor level."
Fang Bai said humbly.
Actually, if Fang Bai were willing, he could also refine high Immortal Emperor-level Immortal Pills. However, refining pills of that level really consumes too much effort, so Fang Bai would not easily make them.
Also, the disciples of Fire Dragon Island generally didn’t have strong abilities. Lower or middle Immortal Emperor-level Immortal Pills were sufficient as auxiliary aids for their daily cultivation.
"Well... Immortal Friend Fang, could you demonstrate your alchemy technique?"
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor thought that seeing is believing. If Fang Bai could really make Immortal Emperor-level Immortal Pills, then making him an Elder of Tribute would be well-deserved, and all disciples on Fire Dragon Island wouldn’t have any objections.
Fang Bai also understood that, in terms of logic and emotion, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s request was not excessive. He smiled slightly and said nothing, letting the flame in his left palm continue to burn, while several alchemy ingredients appeared in his right hand.
"He intends to refine a lower Immortal Emperor-level Creation Pill..."
Even though the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor did not understand the Alchemy Dao, upon seeing the ingredients Fang Bai took out, he knew what kind of Immortal Pill Fang Bai was going to make.
The Creation Pill was among the Immortal Pills with exceedingly high refinement difficulty. Even an outstanding alchemist dared not claim absolute certainty in its successful creation.
If Fang Bai could refine an Immortal Emperor-level Creation Pill, then refining other Immortal Pills would pose no problem.
In the distance, the gaze of several thousand disciples of Fire Dragon Island all focused on Fang Bai with anticipation in their eyes.
Among the several thousand disciples of Fire Dragon Island, not one was an alchemist. The Immortal Pills used for cultivation had to be sought from Immortal City on Land, tens of thousands of miles away. If Fang Bai truly was an alchemist, it would indeed be a blessing for them.
"Phew..."
The flame in Fang Bai’s left palm suddenly grew, and then his right hand lightly shook, the alchemy ingredients breaking into segments and floating into the flame in his left palm.
The ingredients rolled continuously in the flame and soon turned into a liquid medicine...
"Refining pills without a pill furnace..."
Seeing Fang Bai’s refining process, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s eyes widened in disbelief.
From what he knew, alchemists in the Immortal Realm almost all used pill furnaces to refine Immortal Pills, and as a type of Immortal Artifact, the higher the grade of the pill furnace, the higher the success rate of refining pills.
Yet this Fang Bai refined Immortal Pills right in his palm, indicating that his alchemy technique had reached the legendary highest realm of using the palm as a furnace, something difficult for notable alchemists in the Immortal Realm to achieve.
Further surprising the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor was that other alchemists refining an Immortal Emperor-level Creation Pill would take at least three to five days for success, but after only two hours, the medicinal liquid showed signs of solidifying.
Such rapid alchemy speed was unheard of by the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor. He thought if Fang Bai could succeed in alchemy, it would truly be a miracle in the Alchemy Realm.
As the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor pondered here, Fang Bai had already struck a Pill Condensation Technique into the flame in his right palm.
The scent of herbs filled the air, and Immortal Qi pervaded.
After the flame disappeared, five lower Immortal Emperor-level Creation Pills appeared in Fang Bai’s palm, spinning round and round.
"Incredible... incredible..."
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor stepped up to Fang Bai, staring big-eyed at the Creation Pills in his palm, muttering in excitement, his face flushing red.
"Fire Dragon Island Master, I wonder if my alchemy technique can please your eyes?"
Fang Bai said with a smile.
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor said, "Pleasing... very pleasing... I was really ashamed to have doubted your alchemy technique just now!"
His gaze suddenly passed over Fang Bai, towards behind him, showing joyful surprise as he asked with concern, "Dragon Maiden, are you okay now?"
Fang Bai turned around, looking at the Dragon Maiden gracefully walking towards them, smiling.
"Master, I’m fine now!"
The Dragon Maiden responded to the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor before lightly biting her lip and facing Fang Bai, her beautiful eyes glistening with affection, unlimited sentiment.
Fang Bai and the Dragon Maiden hadn’t seen each other for years, and now meeting again on this Immortal Island, their hearts were filled with indescribable joy, their gazes intertwined, saying everything without words.
"This Fire Dragon Island is isolated overseas, remote... Dragon Maiden, you really made it difficult for me to find you! Come, let me have a good look at you!"
Fang Bai said, opening his arms to the Dragon Maiden.
They hadn’t seen each other in years, and had only exchanged a few words briefly. The Dragon Maiden had then gone to adjust and heal, and now that she was completely fine, they naturally had many words to exchange.
At this moment, the Dragon Maiden’s eyes had only Fang Bai, and seeing him open his arms, regardless of the spectators, she flew into Fang Bai’s embrace, tightly hugging his body, whispering, "Fang Bai... why didn’t you come to find me sooner? Do you know, every morning and evening, I would stand on the highest peak of the Immortal Island, looking towards the distant horizon, hoping to see your presence... waiting for this day was so bitter!"
The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor looked at their hugging in front of thousands of disciples from Fire Dragon Island, feeling an unspeakable awkwardness, unsure whether to retreat or continue staying.
