Qin Shi frowned when he sensed the black demonic energy in Mu Hui's body. It was filled with the demonic energy of a ferocious demon. "Seems like it's about the same as what I guessed?"
However, he retracted his energy and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Ink Wolf from the side. He wanted to see how capable Ink Wolf was.
Ink Wolf was very serious. After about half an incense stick's time, his clear eyes suddenly widened, and his expression turned serious.
Looking at his expression, Qin Shi asked, "How is it?"
Ink Wolf was silent for a long time before shaking his head. "There's a very strange power in her body. That power isn't from the beasts that Ling Yun mentioned, nor is it man-made. If I'm not wrong … that power should be from the Demon World!"
"Hmm?"
Qin Shi was slightly surprised when he heard that. His admiration for Ink Wolf increased again.
He had to admit that Ink Wolf was indeed the disciple of the Alchemy Emperor. Ever since a hundred years ago, ferocious demons were very rare in the human world. Therefore, very few people could distinguish the demonic nature. Even if there were a few, they were the old fellows from the Eight Regions who had lived for more than a hundred years. He didn't expect Ink Wolf to know.
He nodded in relief and asked, "Is there any way to cure it?"
Ink Wolf wasn't in a hurry to reply. Instead, he checked Mu Hui's pulse and said, "I don't dare to say. If the demonic nature were to erupt, even the reincarnation of a deity wouldn't be able to save her. After all, the power of the demonic nature isn't something that humans can withstand. Fortunately, Ling Yun has been suppressing it with medicine. The demonic nature is still in its embryonic form. If we use some elixirs of extreme Yang and use external forces to guide the demonic nature, we should be able to expel it from the body."
At first, Ling Yun was on the verge of tears. Then, he gradually heaved a sigh of relief. "Hey, can you stop panting?"
"I'm speaking the truth. As an alchemist, I have to consider everything." Ink Wolf twitched his mouth stiffly.
Looking at Ink Wolf's expression, Qin Shi smiled bitterly. Were all alchemists like this?
No, Lin Yu wasn't one either.
"Alright, since he didn't explode, that's great. Ling Yun has to thank Ink Wolf for this."
Qin Shi said with a smile from the side. However, there was one thing he did not say. Even if the demonic nature broke out, he had a way to cure Mu Hui. After all, the title of the two ancient Demon Lords of the Evil Spirit Realm was not just for show.
As long as it wasn't an extremely ferocious devil's demonic nature, the evil devil's baleful aura could devour it.
Ling Yun thanked Ink Wolf gratefully, "Ink Wolf, although we haven't known each other for long, it's all thanks to you this time. As long as you can help me cure Hui Er, my life will be yours from now on. As long as you have something you want me to do, even if you want me to die, I won't hesitate."
These words were very fake, but coming from Ling Yun, they were unusually sincere. Qin Shi could feel that if Ink Wolf wanted Ling Yun to die now, Ling Yun would really kill himself without hesitation.
From this, it could be seen how much Ling Yun cared for Mu Hui.
"Yun …!" Mu Hui was so touched that her eyes turned red.
On the other hand, Ink Wolf, an alchemist who was known as a lunatic, had a straightforward personality. When had he ever heard such pretentious words?
In an instant, he actually blushed and said awkwardly, "Don't, don't be like this. Actually, I'm quite grateful to you for letting me study the demonic nature. This is also very beneficial to my alchemy skills."
"No matter what, you saved Hui Er." Ling Yun shook his head and said very decisively, "From now on, you are my brother."
"Brother?"
Ink Wolf was stunned. Obviously, these two words did not exist in his world, but he could still understand Ling Yun's meaning. A rare joy appeared on his face.
Qin Shi shook his head at the side and said, "That's enough, you two. Treat Hui Er's injuries first. We'll talk about everything else after Hui Er has recovered."
Only then did the two of them scratch their heads awkwardly.
The matter of treating Mu Hui's injuries was handed over to Ink Wolf by Qin Shi. He had been observing from the side. If anything went wrong, he would be able to provide assistance in time.
Most importantly, he was refining the Ashen Flame Recovery Pill to awaken Jade In The Book. Jade In The Book was one of the last few people in his life. She was also one of his three lovers. He had to treat her seriously and not be sloppy. Therefore, he also wanted to see Ink Wolf's alchemy skills.
Ink Wolf nodded his head and wrote down a few simple herbs on a piece of paper. These herbs were all rare Yang treasures. Fortunately, Ning Yu had a huge network in the Outer Domain. If it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to collect all of them in a day.
After purchasing the herbs, Ink Wolf started to refine the pill. The pill he wanted to refine was called the Fiery Pill. It was an extremely Yang type pill that could disperse demonic and evil Qi.
He rubbed his hands and took out a large pill furnace. The pill furnace was about the height of three people. There were all sorts of fierce beast carvings on it. Each fierce beast emitted a majestic spiritual pressure. It was as though these fierce beasts were real and alive. It caused the room to feel as though hundreds of beasts had gathered.
"What a mystical pill furnace …!"
Qin Shi looked at the lifelike Hundred Beast Carvings and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Hundred Beast Furnace?" Kong Hyun-hui's expression changed.
"Hundred Beast Furnace?
What is that? "Qin Shi asked curiously.
"The Hundred Beast Furnace is the famous pill furnace that Mu Zang used when he first started his cultivation. It is also the third ranked pill furnace in the Human Realm. However, Mu Zang's reputation grew bigger and bigger. There was one time when he was helping the Refinement Domain to refine pills. The Refinement Domain's Domain Lord gifted the number one pill furnace, the Black Blaze Furnace, to Mu Zang. This caused the Hundred Beast Furnace to gradually disappear. I never expected it to appear here again today."
Kong Hyun-hui sighed, "For Mu Zang to pass the Hundred Beast Furnace to Ink Wolf, it seems like he values Ink Wolf a lot."
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, Ink Wolf is quite an introvert. Although he looks a little rash, he is very stubborn when it comes to things. If such a person enters the right profession, he will definitely have great accomplishments."
"Indeed, I can tell from the fact that he blocked you for more than ten days." Kong Hyun-hui deliberately teased.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi glared at him in annoyance. Was he trying to rub it in?
This made Kong Hyun-hui cover her face and smile shyly.
Too lazy to care about Kong Hyun-hui, Qin Shi focused and asked, "Stop laughing. What do you mean by the ranking of pill furnaces?"
Kong Hyun-hui forcefully held back her laughter. Her cheeks blushed as she whispered, "The ranking of pill furnaces?
This is because the process of refining pills requires the burning of raging flames, especially for Earth Grade and above God Grade pills. The refining temperature is abnormally hot, and even black iron and black crystals will melt in it. Therefore, the demand for pill furnaces by alchemists became higher and higher. Later on, this ranking of pill furnaces slowly came into being. "
"The pill furnaces that can enter the ranking are all of the highest quality in the world."
Speaking of this, Kong Xianhui raised her eyes and looked at the huge furnace in the center, "Especially the top three furnaces. Take this Hundred Beasts Furnace as an example. This Hundred Beasts Furnace contains more than a hundred kinds of wild beasts' beast fires, which can greatly increase the refining time and success rate."
Qin Shi suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."
He never thought that there would be such a thing.
"This is only the third one. It is said that the Black Flame Furnace used by Mu Zang contains a Heavenly Mysterious Flame. It can even burn spiritual power and mental power. It is very ferocious." Kong Hyun-hui said with a smile.
"Even spiritual power can be burned?"
Qin Shi sucked in a breath of cold air. There was actually such a flame in the world?
One must know that the flame was originally an illusory body. It was just a derivative of spiritual power. Then, to burn spiritual power, what kind of high temperature was needed?
Thinking of this, he became even more curious about the pill furnaces on the ranking. His black eyes rolled as he asked, "What about the second ranked one?"
"Second …!"
Kong Hyun-hui frowned and her pretty face became more serious, "The second ranked pill furnace is called the Netherworld Ancient Furnace. This pill furnace has been lost for hundreds of years. It is said that the flame it contains is from the underworld. It can confine a person's soul. It is a very ferocious pill furnace. The user is undoubtedly a devil."
"Is that so?"
A trace of fear flashed between Qin Shi's brows. Confine the soul?
Boom!
At this moment, an extremely hot power roared in the room, interrupting Qin Shi and Kong Hyun-hui's discussion. Hundreds of different colored flames exploded in the Hundred Beast Furnace, forcing the people in the room to take a step back.
"What a terrifying temperature."
Qin Shi licked his dry lips in surprise. This was only the beginning. When he saw Ink Wolf's alchemy technique, he was dumbfounded.
Under the hundred types of flames, Ink Wolf seemed to have forgotten himself. He skillfully separated them and fused them into the furnace with ease. He began to preheat the herbs, then used the flames to refine the herbs, and finally, used the flames to form the pills. He had a very precise grasp of which flames to use.
This kind of alchemy technique, Qin Shi didn't even dare to think about it.
It turned out that he still did not understand how a bunch of messy herbs thrown into a furnace could turn into a spherical medicinal pill.
Now, looking at Ink Wolf's control, he finally understood.
This required a lot of perseverance and patience.
"What a genius."
Qin Shi shook his head with a wry smile. He looked at the nervous Ling Yun and suddenly remembered something. He walked over and said, "Oh right, Ling Yun, I haven't asked you. Where was Mu Hui hurt?"
"Where was she hurt?" Ling Yun thought for a while and said in a low voice, "In the Chaotic Lands, near the Cabinet of Documents."
"The Cabinet of Documents?
What happened exactly? "
"It's like this. That day, Hui 'er and I accepted a mission. It was to hunt a desolate beast in a forest. We had already severely injured the desolate beast and it was on its last breath. But just as I was about to give it the final blow, a loud roar suddenly came from under the Gongwen Pavilion for some unknown reason."
"That roar still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. It was extremely terrifying. It was also because of that roar that the desolate beast, which was on its last breath, suddenly turned black. Its body emitted a black mist as it pounced at me. In the end, in order to save me, Hui 'er pushed me away. She was injured by the desolate beast, resulting in her current state."
