Wen Hou asked with a pleasant surprise, "Brother Tan, has someone really extracted ten-tenths of the medicinal liquid essence?"

Tan Liang nodded, "The medicinal liquid essence remaining in this furnace is definitely ten-tenths. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for any alchemist to purify medicinal liquid without a single trace of impurities. For an alchemist, as long as the extraction of medicinal ingredients exceeds 99% of the medicinal liquid essence, it can be called ten-tenths.

My alchemy level is limited, and I cannot completely judge how much medicinal liquid essence was extracted in this furnace. From the residue remaining on it, I can definitely judge that the medicinal liquid essence of this residue exceeds 99%, which is infinitely close to the purification of ten-tenths of the medicinal liquid essence. I don't know what his alchemy skills are like, but based on his attainments in alchemy alone, he is enough to be called my teacher."

Wen Hou opened his mouth wide and said after a while, "Brother Tan, you are being too modest. You are a Fourth Grade Immortal Pill King."

Tan Liang shook his head, "Brother Wen, I'm not talking nonsense. The reason I say this is because the alchemy furnace used by this person is only a First Grade Immortal artifact alchemy furnace, this is the first reason. Secondly, the flame used by this person to refine pills is the most common flame, even worse than earth fire. Not to mention me, even if it were replaced by a Sixth Grade Pill King, I'm afraid it would be impossible to extract such a pure medicinal liquid essence. If this person can purify medicinal liquid essence of this purity, then the pills refined will at least be high-grade pills, and it is not impossible that all of them will be top-grade pills."

"Wen Tian, hurry, who used this alchemy furnace, tell me quickly!" Wen Hou couldn't bear it any longer and shouted urgently.

A middle-aged cultivator heard this and quickly stepped forward, bowing and saluting, "These alchemy furnaces were all purchased by Miss from Thousand Mountains. Miss has also been actively looking for alchemy and pill refining experts recently."

This middle-aged man was Wen Tian, the steward of the Pill Refining Room of the City Lord's Mansion.

Wen Hou's eyes softened. He knew why his daughter was doing this. She wanted to relieve his worries because she saw him frowning every day. His voice became gentle, "Go and bring Miss and Qian Shan here."

"Yes." Wen Tian responded and hurried out of the Pill Refining Room.

Seeing that Tan Liang was still excitedly examining the dried medicinal liquid remaining in the alchemy furnace, Wen Hou, still somewhat uncertain, asked, "Brother Tan, is this person really so good at extracting medicinal ingredients?"

Tan Liang sighed, "Maybe he is even more powerful than I imagined. Brother Wen, if you can find this person to participate in the competition, even if he cannot refine high-level Immortal Pills, just based on his ability to extract medicinal liquid essence, he will definitely be able to obtain a ranking. Brother Tan has not been exposed to alchemy, so naturally he doesn't know how difficult each step forward in extracting medicinal liquid essence in alchemy is."

Speaking of this, Tan Liang paused before carefully saying, "Let me give you an example. If a person can extract 90% of the medicinal liquid essence from a spiritual herb, then he needs to spend twice as much effort to purify 91% of the medicinal liquid essence, and his understanding of medicinal ingredients must also be increased by at least one time. By analogy, do you know how difficult it is to extract 99% of the medicinal liquid essence? What's more, the remaining medicinal liquid exceeds 99%. This is either a top genius or an unparalleled grandmaster who is pioneering a new path in alchemy."

It must be said that Tan Liang, as a Fourth Grade Immortal Pill King, still has some foundation. Mo Wuji's alchemy skills came from the Wordless Pill Book, but after he created the Reversal Immortal Mortal Technique, his alchemy formed its own prototype and had long been unrelated to the Wordless Pill Book.

His alchemy has its own system, and in cooperation with his cultivation technique, he pursues the ability to truly purify 100% of the medicinal liquid essence, instead of being infinitely close.

Wen Hou took a deep breath of cold air. He completely understood Tan Liang's meaning. The guy who used this First Grade Immortal alchemy furnace and ordinary flames to extract ten-tenths of the medicinal liquid essence was so heaven-defying.

At this moment, he had made up his mind that no matter who this person was, he would bring him to Ying Shui Immortal City at all costs.

"Dad, you're looking for me? Mother is here too." A woman in a dress with small purple flowers walked in, followed by a middle-aged servant.

This woman was Wen Lianxi, who had originally planned to ask Mo Wuji to help refine pills. But today she wasn't wearing a veil, and her beautiful face was no less than Han Qingru's. Her every move carried a noble upbringing.

Wen Hou and his wife both showed gentleness in their eyes. This was their daughter. Although they had no sons, this daughter was enough to make them proud. Not only was Wen Lianxi's appearance unparalleled in the entire Ying Shui Immortal City, but even in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, it would be difficult to find a woman more outstanding than Lianxi. More importantly, Wen Lianxi was incredibly talented. Not only was her Immortal Dao cultivation far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same age, but her attainments in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were also far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

"Lianxi, I heard you've been looking for some alchemists recently?" Wen Hou's tone was very gentle. He didn't immediately question his daughter about the alchemy furnace.

Wen Lianxi said softly, "Yes, Dad. Two years ago, I went to Lu Jie Immortal City to attend a gathering. At that time, a Pill King with a somewhat unclear mind suddenly came to Lu Jie Immortal City. Someone asked him to refine pills on the spot, and he actually refined Fifth Grade Immortal Pills, and all of them were top-grade pills. Some people judged that he was at least a Sixth Grade Pill King. There were more than a dozen young city lords from immortal cities and some women with identities like mine at the gathering.

Because this was a Sixth Grade Pill King, and the Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Alchemy Dao Competition was also not many years away, everyone wanted to take this muddle-headed Pill King away. Later, Wan Ping, the young city lord of Lu Jie Immortal City, proposed that before the Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Alchemy Dao Competition, everyone should hold a small-scale Alchemy Dao Competition. Whoever can win first can take away that Sixth Grade Pill King. And the participants must be newly found, at least everyone doesn't know them. I haven't told Dad about this because I know my chances are slim."

Wen Hou and Tan Liang took a deep breath of cold air. Being able to refine a batch of top-grade Fifth Grade Immortal Pills doesn't necessarily mean that he is a Sixth Grade Immortal Pill King, it is even possible that he is an Immortal Pill Emperor.

"Where is that Pill King?" Wen Hou even forgot the purpose of calling his daughter.

Wen Lianxi replied, "That Pill King is in a cave outside Lu Jie Immortal City. The cave has twenty-three array flags, and everyone who participated at the time had one array flag. When the time comes, all twenty-three people must be present to jointly offer the array flags to open the cave."

"Show me the array flag." Wen Hou said immediately.

Wen Lianxi took out an array flag with a dark red color and handed it to Wen Hou. After Wen Hou looked at the array flag repeatedly, he said to Tan Liang on the side, "Brother Tan, this is a Blood-Drop Chain Lock Array Flag. It is indeed necessary for all the array flags to be gathered together to open the cave. Otherwise, you can only attack forcibly. Once you attack forcibly, it may cause the space to collapse. The person who arranged this Blood-Drop Chain Lock Array is a powerful Array Dao Master."

Tan Liang also nodded, "That's right, but Lu Jie Immortal City is a high-grade immortal city. Even if Lianxi can win, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take away that Pill King."

Tan Liang's implication was very clear. Lu Jie Immortal City proposed this method only because they didn't want to be criticized and given a domineering evaluation.

Wen Hou reacted. He didn't call his daughter to ask about the Pill King. He handed the array flag to his daughter and asked with some excitement, "Lianxi, there is an alchemy furnace here. Wen Tian said you brought it. Where did you bring it from?"

Tan Liang had already handed the alchemy furnace in his hand to Wen Lianxi.

Wen Lianxi grabbed the alchemy furnace and looked at it before saying in confusion, "I bought this alchemy furnace in our Ying Shui Immortal City. At that time, I bought two First Grade alchemy furnaces, one Second Grade, and one Third Grade alchemy furnace. What's wrong?"

"That's impossible. Why wouldn't the alchemy furnaces in the immortal city be cleaned before being sold?" Tan Liang asked with a frown.

Wen Lianxi understood and explained, "I gave this alchemy furnace to someone to refine pills. At that time, I was eager to find an alchemist and was deceived by him. After I came back, I wasn't in the mood, so I asked Qian Shan to throw the alchemy furnace in the Pill Refining Room."
