Chapter 139 is complete.
Jiang Yueming looked up at Jiang Yiyu, her expression calm, and said, "So what if you've achieved the Core Formation? What's the big deal?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Jiang Yueming, you're still as ignorant as you were when you were a child. I've already achieved the elixir while you haven't. It's obvious who's superior in ability."
Jiang Yiyu toyed with a red pill between his fingers, shook his head and sneered.
Jiang Yueming has no ability to achieve the elixir, but he's stubbornly clinging to his pride and pretending to be completely indifferent.
I bet he's been terrified inside, just like he always has been—cowardly and incompetent!
Thinking this through, Jiang Yiyu raised the Blood Spirit Pill in his hand, smiled, and said, "Come on, Jiang Yueming, kneel down and kowtow to your cousin to admit your mistake, and I will forgive you and give you this Blood Spirit Pill. How about it?"
"This is a second-grade pill, something that even the lowest-level reptiles wouldn't dare to dream of in their entire lives," Jiang Yiyu emphasized the extraordinary nature of the pill in his hand at the end of his sentence.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming's expression turned slightly cold. He looked at Jiang Yiyu and slowly said, "What a fine term, 'cousin.' So, does 'cousin' consider me one of the lowly worms you speak of?"
Jiang Yiyu was taken aback by Jiang Yueming's question, then laughed with extreme disdain: "If you accept this Blood Spirit Pill, then of course not."
"What if I don't accept?" Jiang Yueming asked decisively.
"Hmph, if you won't accept, then I don't mind one of the family's dogs being reduced to a lowly worm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire cliff top fell into a terrifying silence, and the cold night wind blowing across the cliff top added to the desolate feeling.
The wind blew, and strands of hair in front of Jiang Yueming's eyes slightly obscured her resentful gaze. A hint of anger appeared on her usually sunny face.
He didn't understand why everyone in the Jiang family treated him this way. If it was because he was an adopted son of the family, then why did they take him in in the first place?
Could it really be as Zhang Yuqian said, that the root cause of treating him this way is the superior's condescending attitude towards the inferior, that kind of disdain and contempt?
That's right. They are all legitimate direct descendants of the Jiang family, while Jiang Yueming is just an adopted son used as a pawn.
So, the Jiang family adopted him because they thought his blood could cure Zhang Yuqian's illness.
"Hehe, it seems that after using Jiuyuan's body, I can't control some of my emotions anymore," Jiang Yueming took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions and said with a wry smile.
Although Jiang Yiyu's words had indeed offended Jiang Yueming, he knew in his heart that now was not a good time to take action.
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years!
If he gets the chance in the future, he will definitely let Jiang Yiyu taste the flavor of being a lowly worm!
"Jiang Yiyu, don't be too happy yet. Although I don't have a pill-refining cauldron, the medicinal power I can refine will definitely be better than your Blood Spirit Pill. Just you wait and see."
After saying that, Jiang Yueming activated his spiritual energy. With his thoughts, the two medicinal herbs floated above a large pot. Then, flames appeared from his palm and ignited the herbs. The medicinal power turned into fragments in the flames and fell into the pot.
Bear!
As the medicinal fragments fell into the pot, the blazing red flames at the bottom of the pot instantly expanded, intensely scorching the rice porridge inside. After the rice porridge absorbed the medicinal power, its color gradually changed, slowly transforming from translucent white to pale red, and wisps of medicinal fragrance rose into the sky.
Everyone was watching Jiang Yueming's actions, their expressions varied: some were curious and puzzled, some were contemptuous and disdainful, and some were calm and indifferent.
But none of them said anything, they just watched silently to see what tricks Jiang Yueming could come up with.
boom!
As the last drop of medicinal essence fell into the pot, the entire pot suddenly flashed with golden light, and with a triumphant roar, it burst open.
The powerful explosive force naturally affected Jiang Yueming, who was closest to the pot.
The rice porridge that splashed out of the exploding pot landed all over him, and his once clean white clothes were immediately stained with red stains, making him look somewhat disheveled.
"Jiang Yueming, don't think that just because you can summon soul flames, you can refine pills well. You still have a lot to learn about the true mysteries of pill refining." Seeing Jiang Yueming's reckless actions causing chaos, Jiang Yiyu was secretly delighted and mocked him.
The reason it exploded must be because something went wrong during the extraction of the medicinal properties; otherwise, it wouldn't have exploded.
How to control the degree of refining medicinal materials is another mystery. Without a teacher or resources, an alchemist may waste a lifetime trying to understand the secrets.
Oh, right, Jiang Yueming isn't a pharmacist yet, strictly speaking. He hasn't even refined a single thing, let alone any pills!
"Young Master Jiang, when you are infusing the medicinal power, you can try to sense the state of the herbs to control the amount of medicinal power you are applying," Yang Shuo suddenly said softly.
Although she wasn't an alchemist, she had quite a bit of experience in alchemy, which surprised Jiang Yueming. However, he didn't take the initiative to ask her about it.
"It's alright, I have plenty of medicinal herbs." Jiang Yueming tidied his appearance slightly, then took out a silver dagger from his storage ring. The cold tip of the dagger grazed the skin of his left palm, leaving a glaring red mark in his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Yang Shuo stared at Jiang Yueming, completely puzzled.
"Drug testing"
Jiang Yueming responded softly, picked up the broken pieces of the large pot containing rice porridge from the ground, drank the porridge, and then stared at the bloodstain on his left palm.
However, before the bloodstains could heal, a flash of golden light seemed to appear on his left index finger, but the light vanished in an instant.
"What was that just now..." Jiang Yueming's eyes lit up, and a bold idea suddenly arose in her mind.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he set up a new pot and repeated the previous steps.
"Jiang Yueming, even if things don't explode without the help of your alchemy cauldron, you still can't beat me in the end. Don't bother struggling."
From a distance, Jiang Yiyu saw Jiang Yueming about to start cooking medicinal porridge again, and his expression seemed somewhat impatient.
Low-level web crawlers are just low-level web crawlers; they always make meaningless struggles and resistances!
Did Jiang Yueming really think that the medicinal porridge he cooked could be more potent than his medicinal pills?
Haha, that's a joke!
Despite Jiang Yiyu's mockery, Jiang Yueming remained focused on his work.
He knew that he could control the fusion of medicinal properties by sensing the herbs with his soul, but he couldn't use it.
Because everyone's experience is different, it's impossible to record these things.
What he wants to do is to replicate the effects of alchemy through medical and culinary methods. Simply put, he wants to popularize the practice of alchemy by applying the principles of medicine.
If this method succeeds, it will break the absolute dominance of alchemists in the world of pills and even medicinal herbs.
boom!
A few breaths later, the large pot exploded again, just like before, and Jiang Yueming dealt with it in the same way.
Create a wound, drink porridge, and observe the changes.
The only difference is that before each bowl of porridge, I would tap it with my left index finger, and then a flash of golden light would appear for a moment.
boom!
Another explosion occurred, and Jiang Yueming had to start all over again.
boom!
Come again!
boom!
After nine consecutive explosions, Jiang Yiyu's face darkened. Finally unable to bear it any longer, he turned and ordered, "Go! Teach them a lesson!"
"Hahaha, it's done! It's finally done!"
Just as Li Gu and the others were about to step forward, a cheerful laugh from a boy suddenly came from the black smoke at the top of the cliff.
