Chapter 234 - 92: The Bomber in the Elixir Furnace
Upon hearing that alchemy requires an Elixir Furnace, Yue Jinghua was momentarily stunned.
Just as Ancient Summoners need to possess a Summoning Treasure Book to perform Summoning Techniques, the Alchemy Master World has long established the rule that Pill Masters require an Elixir Furnace in alchemy.
A good Elixir Furnace can enhance an Alchemist’s control over the heat of the Elixir Pills, and there are even legends that top-notch Elixir Furnaces could achieve a mental link with the Alchemist.
Once fused with the consciousness of the Alchemist, it is said one could refine Holy-grade or even Divine-grade Elixir Pills. However, this is merely part of legend, as the Canglong Continent hasn’t seen such Elixir Pills for many years.
But since Qing Pu was able to invent a Summoning Array without a Summoning Treasure Book, accordingly, it suggests that alchemy could possibly be performed without an Elixir Furnace.
Most of the high-level and middle-level Alchemists on the continent, once they possess outstanding fire control ability, often practice Fire Refining Pill without using an Elixir Furnace. After Feng Wanwan became a high-level Alchemist, she hardly ever used an Elixir Furnace for alchemy.
Hence, among the items gifted to Yue Jinghua by Sha Fei, there was no Elixir Furnace included.
It is known that Yue Jinghua’s alchemy began with the use of Green Lotus Chaos Fire, and only in her very first attempt did she use an Elixir Furnace.
However, the Chaos Green Lotus Fire is a Divine Fire, and common Elixir Furnaces would be damaged after just a few uses.
Adhering to the principle that wasting is shameful, Yue Jinghua generally preferred to use fire directly for alchemy.
But now, in the full view of the public, and having already drawn attention for being late, if Yue Jinghua were to say, "May I refine without a furnace?" it would be like courting death.
After much deliberation, Yue Jinghua had no choice but to steel herself and go select an Elixir Furnace.
Ordinary furnaces, in terms of material, are made of either stone or bronze. Better ones consist of jade and gold tripods.
