少也很貴。“其實，這東西是我從凡界殺死一個來自天界的傢夥得到的。那傢夥所屬的實力在凡界很強，所以這個東西在這裡是用不了的。”沈翔說的是實話。鄭楚是鎮魔神殿中比較重要的人物，如果降魔學院看到他的仙劍在彆人手中，肯定會惹來不少麻煩。杜煙瑤也是一名武者，平時用劍。這把仙劍她當然喜歡，不過對她來說太貴重了，就連她的爺爺都冇有送過這麼貴重的東西給她。“杜城主，彆磨蹭了，這不像平時的你啊！”沈翔抓著劍柄遞給她...Chapter 460: Submissive and Respectful

Schen Xiang began processing the medicinal herbs for the Bone-Washing Pill. He only needed to handle some auxiliary herbs, which he could quickly finish.

He was making his first attempt at this type of pill, and he didn't understand the three Spirit Minerals very well. He was unsure about their properties and what changes would occur when they were burned by fire, which could result in a failed attempt if he wasn't careful.

So, he used the演煉術 to predict changes and anticipate the situation. This would allow him to make timely adjustments.

The medicinal herbs were then placed in the Heaven Dragon Treasure Cauldron, and he infused it with Heavenly Yang Fire. He was now embarking on a new challenge!

Before he learned the演煉術, he was prepared for failure when making pills. The演煉術 was created to minimize failures, and he succeeded in making the True Elemental Pill of the Five Elements without any failures during his last attempt. This time, if he failed, he wouldn't receive the medicinal garden, so he had to succeed. This presented him with a very demanding challenge.

As expected, the Spirit Minerals were extremely hard to melt. This forced Schen Xiang to increase the fire intensity and enhance the heat of the fire as he burned the Spirit Minerals that were harder to melt than iron.

This plant growing like this showed the incredible power contained within. When combined with some auxiliary herbs, it could be transformed into Spirit Pills that possessed even more miraculous abilities, enhancing one's physical body.

After increasing the fire intensity, Schen Xiang, who was using演煉術, quickly predicted that due to the excessive fire intensity, it would affect the auxiliary herbs and cause their complete burning. This would result in damage to the medicinal essence of the pills.

This was a serious problem, and he immediately made adjustments. He used his powerful divine consciousness to protect the fragile auxiliary herbs, ensuring that they wouldn't suffer damage while he used strong flames to burn the Spirit Minerals. He gradually intensified the fire, and over time, he managed to make adjustments.

Although it was a challenging process, Schen Xiang found it simpler than making the True Elemental Pill of the Five Elements. Moreover, when he made that pill, he was only just starting to grasp演煉術 and wasn't as skilled in different aspects compared to now. So, he didn't find it overly difficult when making the Bone-Washing Pill.

Hua Xiangyue was sitting in a pavilion, playing with her hair as she gazed lovingly at Schen Xiang's handsome face. She found it very attractive when a man was serious, and she could feel herself blushing as she pondered something within her mind.

“The Bone-Washing Pill can produce four pills per batch, but from what I can see, there will be at least six. Shouldn't this finally give me the victory over that old fellow!” Schen Xiang's serious expression now seemed relaxed, and Hua Xiangyue could tell he was about to complete the pill-making process.

Schen Xiang had been making Bone-Washing Pills for nearly half an hour. As it was his first attempt, he spent more time on this process. Meanwhile, Li Baokun had caught up to him!

Li Baokun had made Bone-Washing Pills multiple times, making this process relatively easy for him. However, he was under immense pressure because he feared losing to Schen Xiang.

Schen Xiang was competing against Li Baokun, a master who could make Heaven-grade pills, even though they were only making lower-level pills. This could give an insight into the level of both pill-making masters.

Li Baokun's forehead was already sweating as he was tense. He kept an eye on Schen Xiang while making the pills.

“Finally done!” Li Baokun was the first to complete his process, taking out five Bone-Washing Pills. They were spherical pills emitting a browny-red glow, carrying an eerie beauty.

The old man saw that he could produce five pills and felt a sense of pride, believing Schen Xiang, who was making his first Bone-Washing Pill, would be satisfied with just one pill.

Hua Xiangyue walked over. Li Baokun had made eight pills of True Elemental Pill of the Five Elements, three pills of Foundation-Building Pill, and five pills of Bone-Washing Pill. This was considered pretty good, as there weren't many people in the Mortal Martial World who could achieve this. Hua Xiangyue only believed she might be slightly better than Li Baokun.

After Li Baokun finished making the Bone-Washing Pills, he opened his eyes. Hua Xiangyue hurriedly walked over and wiped away his sweat with a perfumed towel. She knew how exhausting making pills could be, especially for something she had never made before.

“Hehe, I didn't fall behind you by much!” Schen Xiang said.

“Not much. Based on the previous two pills, you've completely won me over. However, if your Bone-Washing Pills are fewer than three, then you're destined to lose! You need at least three Bone-Washing Pills to defeat me!” Li Baokun smiled faintly, knowing that using演煉術 to make unfamiliar pills would result in fewer pills being produced because it was hard to control.

Schen Xiang opened the cauldron lid and took out six Bone-Washing Pills.

“Senior Li, please check them!” Schen Xiang smiled faintly, a sense of pride flashing in his eyes. Being able to defeat Li Baokun, an upper-level pill-making master, satisfied him greatly.

Li Baokun saw the six browny-red glow pills floating out, completely stunned. He suspected that Schen Xiang had already made Bone-Washing Pills before and couldn't produce so many pills during his first attempt otherwise.

Of course, he didn't know that Schen Xiang always made pills while trying not to waste any medicinal ingredients, ensuring he could produce the maximum number of pills under any circumstances.

Hua Xiangyue was only slightly surprised, as she had already gotten used to Schen Xiang's antics. She giggled, "Looks like I don't need to step in."

Li Baokun sat on the ground, sighing deeply and aging much in an instant. He didn't expect that after spending so many years immersed in the art of pill-making, he would lose to a young man like Schen Xiang. Moreover, he lost completely and to Schen Xiang.

Li Baokun took out all the pills he had made, including those Schen Xiang had created, and handed them to him. "Take these pills. You've won! By passing my test, you can have this medicinal garden, which would be the best inheritance for me as a master who left it behind."

Schen Xiang thanked him and took them.

“Senior Li, what are your future plans You've stayed here for too long, and you should go out and see the world. Although preparations are being made for the Three Realms War, it's not a bad thing to go out and explore,” Schen Xiang said.

Li Baokun nodded, "I'll leave now. Competing with you has taught me a lot. The next time we meet, I will definitely come back victorious."

Li Baokun left through the array formation for teleportation, departing the underground medicinal garden. worry about it anymore."Will joining the Slay Demon Temple cause you trouble" Schiyan asked, also somewhat worried about this.The Slay Demon God chuckled several times. "I'm more worried that you'll...
