Capítulo 191: This Is the True Alchemy
There was a pitiful thick wall between the cultivators and the guards of the Little Pill Hall.
In the end, they just couldn't get along.
The cultivators of the Little Pill Hall thought that being a guard was a crude job. They couldn't refine pills and only had brute strength. Their words and deeds were even coarser.
The guards also had something to say.
"Fuck you."
Well, it was indeed crude.
Chen Xia was like a breath of fresh air among the guards. Mainly, he just sat in the pavilion every day, not caring about anything. Occasionally, he would prop his chin up and stare blankly ahead.
When his colleague asked him what he was looking at.
"Grass," Chen Xia replied.
His colleague didn't answer. He just thought that Chen Xia had truly mastered the art of guard conversation. Starting with a "grass".
But Chen Xia was really looking at the grass. The grass sprouts growing out of the cracks in the stone steps had just emerged, showing their green heads.
Chen Xia quite liked observing the way all things grew. It could not only kill time but also bring some insights.
As a result, Chen Xia became even more out of place among the guards.
He didn't participate in the quarrels between the cultivators and the guards of the Little Pill Hall. Anyway, he just sat in the pavilion, still receiving his salary while really doing nothing.
It really suited his character.
After sitting like this for more than two months, the guards also noticed something was wrong.
This kid had never gone on patrol even once. He just sat in the pavilion every day, no different from a vegetable.
But the guards didn't dare to say anything. After all, Chen Xia was the personal guard of that lord. Only that lord had the right to give orders.
Although they were crude, they still understood this bit of reason.
So the guards just turned a blind eye. Moreover, Chen Xia was really laid-back, not competing or scrambling. He just sat there peacefully, so no one deliberately provoked him.
The woman in white didn't show up again either. It seemed that she had forgotten about Chen Xia.
Chen Xia sat like this until half a year later. His body injuries had healed halfway. He had nourished himself about the same. For the remaining half, with pills of this level, it wouldn't work. He needed to upgrade. At least, he needed spirit herbs.
On this day, it snowed a little. The light snowflakes gently fell on the entire Little Pill Hall.
Chen Xia slowly stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, and strolled out of the pavilion.
This was his first move in half a year. The main reason was that the grass in the stone crack had died.
There was nothing to look at.
Since it was the way of all things growing, death was also normal.
Chen Xia had expected this moment long ago, so he didn't feel sentimental. Instead, he walked in the snow.
Wearing the green guard's clothes, his hands clasped behind his back, he walked slowly. The light snowflakes gently landed on his hair and shoulders.
And they were shaken off by Chen Xia's walking.
With his green clothes walking in the snow, it was hard to say if spring had come.
The other guards were quite surprised. They didn't expect Chen Xia to get up and walk out. It was really a rare thing.
They just didn't know what he was coming out for. To watch the snow?
The guards watched curiously. Chen Xia continued to walk unhurriedly, slightly lowering his head to look at the snow. After his feet gently stepped, the marks didn't disappear for a long time.
After walking a thousand meters, probably entering the Little Pill Hall, he could hear some excited shouts from the cultivators. Looking closely, some cultivators of the Little Pill Hall were starting the furnace to refine pills.
"With the first snow today, we can use the early winter snow as the primer to refine water-attribute pills. It's also a good pill."
"Yes. The early winter snow isn't extremely cold, but its essence is excellent. Paired with water-attribute medicinal herbs and refined with cold fire, it's the best way to refine water-attribute pills."
"..."
A group of cultivators of the Little Pill Hall were talking about pharmacology and also putting it into practice. They lit the pale cold fire and refined with this early winter snow.
Chen Xia, his hands clasped behind his back and slightly bending his waist, walked slowly like an old man taking a walk, stretching his neck to look.
The furnace lid was opened, and a bunch of medicinal herbs were thrown in. The leading cultivator of the Little Pill Hall took a deep breath, condensed his hands outside the pill furnace, and continuously kneaded, controlling the power of pill condensation.
Chen Xia didn't understand. He was just watching the fun.
The process of refining pills didn't last long. This cultivator of the Little Pill Hall was a bit short of breath. When his hands kneading the pill furnace moved and he couldn't raise his breath, he suddenly stepped back.
The pale cold fire went out instantly, and black smoke came out of the pill furnace.
This was a failed pill condensation.
This cultivator of the Little Pill Hall sat down in the snow, his face flushed, really angry.
"I was too impatient. I shouldn't have refined pills like this. I'm really impetuous."
"This pill isn't too difficult. How could I fail like this? It's a bit embarrassing."
"..."
There were constant comments around. This cultivator of the Little Pill Hall was angry but didn't dare to vent his anger on the other cultivators of the Little Pill Hall. When his eyes moved, they landed on Chen Xia. Seeing the green clothes symbolizing the guard, he immediately flared up and cursed.
"What are you, a guard, looking at? Can you understand? You must have been messing around here and ruined my good deed!"
Could he really shift the blame like this?
Chen Xia was a bit surprised.
It was like when you stepped on a pile of dog shit on the road, instead of blaming the dog, you blamed the fence next to it.
It was completely unrelated.
The eyes of the cultivators around also turned to Chen Xia. After seeing his guard attire, there were more sarcastic remarks.
"Why is this crude guard even watching pill refining? I'm afraid he can't even recognize the medicinal herbs."
"You're wrong. Don't mention the medicinal herbs. I guess he doesn't even know what a pill furnace is, let alone where to put the medicine."
"Ha ha, you can't say that. What if he mistakes the pill furnace for a stew pot? That would be okay."
Chen Xia remained expressionless. He raised his head, looked at everyone, and pointed with one finger.
"I really don't understand pill refining, but can what you're doing really be called pill refining?"
He then gave a sharp comment.
"Even a dog wouldn't eat it."
To be honest, a big yellow dog really wouldn't eat this kind of pill.
"Talking nonsense! A crude guard dares to look down on the Dao of Pills!"
"Pill refining is a great Dao in the world. I think you have no skills, and your head is messed up. You're just spouting nonsense!"
"If you have the guts, come and refine a pill. I want to see what tricks you, this crude guard, can pull off."
"Yes, come if you dare!"
Indeed, they were really good at asking for trouble.
Chen Xia didn't say much. He quickly walked forward, directly walked up to the pill furnace, picked up the medicinal herbs, his expression calm, and only said one sentence.
"Watch carefully."
He threw all the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace. He didn't start the fire or lift the furnace.
Chen Xia shook his finger, and an orange-yellow fire technique shone on it. It was just a basic fire technique supernatural power.
He bent his single finger, and the fire technique flickered. Suddenly, he flicked it towards the opening of the pill furnace.
The fire technique rushed in hotly and only spun around twice before coming back.
Compared to pill refining, it was more like barbecuing.
Chen Xia snapped his fingers and said calmly, "Done."
There was no movement in the pill furnace.
The cultivators of the Little Pill Hall were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"I thought it was something. It turns out it's just a juggling trick. It's really funny, ha ha."
"Sure enough, a crude person should have a stupid head."
Chen Xia didn't answer.
The words of the cultivators of the Little Pill Hall continued, and suddenly, a light shone in the pill furnace.
It was the pill light!
Their words stopped abruptly.
The pill light didn't stop, shining brightly. A light blue pill with pill patterns was suspended in the center of the pill furnace.
"Damn it!!"
The cultivators of the Little Pill Hall stared blankly, their mouths slightly open.
Chen Xia reached out and beckoned. The light blue pill flew into his hand. At the same time, he turned to face everyone, grinned slightly, and asked.
"Is the Dao of Pills really so inconvenient?"
