Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body Chapter 241 – This Is the True Essence

The vast square was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

At this time, all the disciples who participated in the conference had finished refining the spirit medicine in their hands. However, for the sake of the so-called bet between Gu Xi and Cao Hua, the Medicine King Valley Elder, who was the judge of the conference, did not begin to examine the results of the disciples.

Thousands of gazes landed on the figure in the middle of the square.

At this moment, Gu Xi was still calmly standing in front of the burning cauldron with a confident look.

“This fellow really knows how to put on an act!” someone in the crowd said disdainfully.

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. The gazes that looked at Gu Xi became even more contemptuous.

On the other side, Cao Hua’s face was also filled with ridicule.

On the other hand, Fang Qinyu’s face was filled with worry.

Once Gu Xi failed to refine the essence of the spirit medicine, it meant that their trip to the Medicine King Valley had been in vain.

However, no matter how worried Fang Qinyu was, all she could do was watch on the spot and pray silently for Gu Xi in her heart.

“We must succeed!”

At the same time, the cauldron in front of Gu Xi had undergone significant changes. The five different types of spirit herbs had all turned into puddles of liquid under the scorching fire. The liquid was also condensing at an extremely slow speed as time passed. This meant that the chaff was gradually being removed.

The most obvious thing was that a rich medicinal fragrance had unknowingly spread out. This kind of medicinal fragrance that made one’s spirit rise was something that no one had ever smelled before.

“There’s actually a medicinal fragrance spreading out. Could it be that this fellow has really succeeded in refining it?”

“Absolutely impossible. If that’s the case, our valley master might as well let him do it.”

“Bah bah bah, what nonsense are you spouting? Quickly shut up!”

[Extraction progress 75%… 100%]

[Congratulations, Host, the extraction is complete.]

Not long after, the five spirit herbs were extracted separately.

In the cauldron, the original five puddles of juice had long disappeared, replaced by five drops of water of different colors.

The seemingly inconspicuous drops of water contained the essence of the entire spirit herb within each drop!

After the System’s extraction, the essence of all the impurities had been removed. Just this one drop of water was already several times more effective than before!

Even though the extraction had been successfully completed, Gu Xi still had not stopped.

One had to know that from the beginning of the extraction until now, only half a joss stick’s worth of time had passed.

If the extraction was announced to be successful so soon, it would probably cause a commotion.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to stall for more time.

Just like that, under Gu Xi’s superb acting skills, another two hours quickly passed.

“It’s about time…” After estimating the time, Gu Xi raised his hand and patted the body of the cauldron.

In the next moment, five drops of essence flew out from the cauldron, and Gu Xi took out the jade bottles that he had prepared for a long time and put them into the cauldron.

“The extraction is done.”

After completing this series of actions, Gu Xi casually threw a few jade bottles to an elder judge of the Medicine Valley not far away.

“It seems that Brother Gu is very confident in the essence that you have extracted.”

Cao Hua said with a smile, his words were full of sarcasm.

Gu Xi slowly stretched his back and glanced at Cao Hua, “Although I don’t know how the extraction is going, I think it’s not a problem to win the bet.”

This was Gu Xi’s extremely modest statement.

One had to know that with the System’s enhancement, the essence he refined was not only enough to enter the top three of the conference, but also 100% certain to become the champion!

“Tsk, does this guy really think that refining medicine is that simple?”

“Exactly, he’s full of big words. I really don’t know where Senior Brother Cao found such a stupid person.”

Hearing Gu Xi’s words, many disciples expressed their disdain.

“Since the refinement is already completed, let’s begin to test the results.”

Cao Hua chuckled and turned his gaze to the referee elder. The referee nodded and then began to check the results one by one.

Of course, he did not choose to check Gu Xi’s results at the beginning. Instead, he began according to the order that everyone had submitted earlier.

“Liu Hua, extract 60% of the Fire Spirit Fruit’s essence.”

“Wang Qiang, extract 50% of the Mystic Ice Ganoderma’s essence.”

…

As the referee announced the results one after another, some people were happy while others were worried.

Not long after, the results of all the participating disciples, except for Gu Xi, had been announced. Among them, the extracted essence was only a little more than 70%.

This kind of result was already considered extraordinary in the medicine King Valley.

Now, it was Gu Xi’s turn.

The referee held five jade bottles in his hand. He carefully opened one of them.

Immediately, a wave of heat gushed out from the jade bottles. In the blink of an eye, it spread across the entire square. Even the temperature of the Heaven and Earth faintly rose by a few degrees.

“What dense fire attribute spiritual energy!”

Sensing this aura, the judge could not help but exclaim.

Hearing this, Cao Hua suddenly had a bad premonition.

“This… how is this possible!”

Immediately after, the judge cried out in a strange manner. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.

“What’s going on? Elder Liu, quickly announce the results!” aperson said impatiently.

On the other hand, Elder Liu was testing time and time again, as if he was trying to confirm something.

“Such pure spirit herb essence… the degree of extraction of this Blazing Fire Phoenix Sunflower…”

“Has reached 100% !”

As soon as these words were said, the entire square fell into a deathly silence.

“Nonsense, Elder Liu, are you old and muddle-headed? You can’t say such things carelessly!”

“That’s right. In my entire life, I’ve never heard of anyone being able to completely extract the essence of a spirit medicine.”

Very quickly, a few elders who also looked like elders were the first to regain their senses.

“If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself!”

Elder Liu gradually recovered from his shock. He held the jade bottle with both hands and walked in front of the few elders.

The few of them surrounded each other. A moment later, numerous exclamations sounded.

“This… is impossible!”

“How can there be such a pure essence!”

These few short sentences were enough to explain everything.

“Quickly open the other jade bottles and take a look!”

One of the elders could not wait to remind him.

Upon hearing this, Elder Liu also reacted. He hurriedly took out the remaining few bottles and opened them one by one without saying anything.

“Nine Nether Dragon Soul Herb, extraction level is also 100%!”

“Chaos Winter Ganoderma, 100%!”

“Aqua Holy Fruit, 100% !”

The extraction level of the four spirit herbs in succession had reached an unprecedented level of perfection!

Elder Liu announced loudly as tears welled up in his eyes.

If not for the situation being inappropriate, he even had the urge to kneel down to Gu Xi.

100%! What kind of concept was this?!

This meant that in the process of refining the essence, Gu Xi did not waste the slightest bit of the medicinal efficacy of the spirit medicine. This was the true meaning of refining medicine!

This was the true essence!
