Chapter 164

The Cauldron Room was a place made especially for Alchemy Masters to use without having to worry about being distracted or bothering others as they made pills in their residences; it was a convenient place that allowed Alchemy Masters to concoct pills whenever they wanted, and as a Sect specializing in Alchemy, every house had at least one Cauldron Room.

The Cauldron Room was also enforced with a special formation so that the disciples would not have to worry about destroying the entire house if they accidentally caused their cauldron to explode, which happened more often than not, especially in the Outer Court.

Inside the dimly lit Cauldron Room inside Su Yang's residence, Zhu Mengyi sat in the middle of a large empty room with a beautiful cauldron in front of her. With intricate designs all around, the cauldron gave the impression that it belonged to an expert and had existed since ancient times. The size of the cauldron was almost as high as Zhu Mengyi herself who was seated, and it was large enough to fit an adult inside without any problems.

Compared to the simple cauldron used in the Lecture Hall, its quality could be considered luxurious.

Su Yang stood a few meters away from him, and he said to him as soon as he took his quality, "Please and make an Earth Progress Pill for me now. I want to measure the level of your Alchemy Dao before anything."

"I see," Zhu Mengyi retrieved the materials for the Earth Advancement Pill from her storage ring, taking out a total of 108 different potions.

Taking a deep breath, his expression suddenly turned serious, and his hands moved swiftly as he started examining the potion at a speed that was many times faster than Qing Shan's match with Su Yang.

Just a few minutes later, Zhu Mengyi began the grinding process, and within half an hour, every one of the 108 herbs was perfectly ground.

His movements were smooth and accurate, and he never stopped moving during the entire process, completing the preparations at a level that would make the Alchemy Masters in this world speechless.

Even Su Yang could not help but feel impressed by his speed. While his speed was, in fact, nothing special in his eyes, he did not compare it to the Alchemy Masters in his world, and as someone from this lower world, his achievements were indeed astonishing.

"So his title as the Main Disciple wasn't just because his mother was a Matriarch, huh."

After he was done with the preparations, Zhu Mengyi proceeded to heat the cauldron with flames created from his Qi and profound techniques.

"Oh?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow after seeing the color of his flame.

They are not ordinary orange, yellow, or red. Instead, it was a bright blue color, resembling a clear sky or a clean sea.

"Azure Flames? He actually managed to cultivate the Azure Flames? Interesting ..." he thought to himself.

In general, Cultivators were not born with the ability to create Alchemy Flames that were used specifically for Alchemy and had to rely on unique techniques to create Alchemy Flames.

As for those born with the ability to create Fire Alchemy without any special techniques, they had the chance to be born with a unique Fire Alchemy like the Azure Flame that Zhu Mengyi was currently using.

It should also be noted that Fire Alchemy cannot be compared to the normal fire techniques used by Cultivators, because such a fire was too chaotic in nature and did not have the ability to burn the impurities in the pill without burning the pill itself.

As for Zhu Mengyi, he did not give up, and with the help of one of the if not the best Alchemy Masters in the world, Matriarch Zhu, fully mastered the Azure Flames that were unique to him.

He controlled the flames easily the temperature of the cauldron without any flaws.

Within a few minutes, the cauldron was ready to be used for the pill concoction.

Once the cauldron was at a perfect temperature, Zhu Mengyi threw two ingredients into the cauldron at once, something that even the most confident experts did not dare to try a middle-grade pill, let alone the Earth Advancement Pill, one of the very few Heaven-level Pills available in this world.

However, this was the end of his quick steps and the beginning of a long and boring trail for Su Yang.

For the next five hours, Su Yang sat there staring at Zhu Mengyi and the barely developed pill in the cauldron. He was so bored that he stopped paying attention and went to sleep.

Three hours later, the room suddenly shook, and a loud explosion occurred within the Cauldron Room.

The explosion!

Su Yang instantly opened his eyes and waved his sleeve, creating a barrier around himself to protect his body against the flying splinters resulting from the exploding cauldron.

*Uhuk uhuk*

"Are you okay?!" Zhu Mengyi called out to him while coughing due to the black smoke filling the room, her voice filled with worry.

A few seconds after the explosion, the room activated one of its several convenient mechanisms and began to clear smoke from the room.

As soon as the smoke disappeared, Zhu Mengyi could finally see Su Yang's figure clearly. He was relieved to see her unharmed and let out a deep breath. However, the hue of his face was pale when he saw the frown on Su Yang's handsome face.

He could see in his eyes that all the good impressions he had accumulated to him had disappeared along with his precious qualities!

"M-I'm sorry .. I—"

"You can leave today," Su Yang suddenly said, causing Zhu Mengyi's heart to descend.

However, his later words changed his grief and shocked him. "Go back tomorrow with another cauldron and more materials."

"Y-Yeah!" he quickly replied before leaving to prepare tomorrow.
