258: Chapter 220 258: Chapter 220 Jiang Tang listened to the Tang Family Master’s promise, and being able to receive a promise from the head of a great family, whether true or not, was not something cultivators would dare to give lightly, as it could become an obstacle to his future growth in cultivation.
“Alright, Tang Family Master, since you trust me , please give me an alchemy prescription, along with the herbs you wish to use to concoct the poison and the prescription and herbs needed for the antidote.”
Everything is in this storage bag, you can freely concoct to your heart’s content, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t turn out well; just consider it practice.”
By acting this way, the Tang Family Master was placing a bet, showing such trust in a stranger and handing over their Tang Clan’s poison and antidote prescriptions to someone else was inherently a great risk.
If this person were unscrupulous, he could potentially use these poisons to bring disaster, and the blame could fall upon the Members of the Tang Family.
The Tang Family Master believed this young man, apart from being a bit proud, did not exhibit any inferiority when facing him.
There was no servile expression—more trustworthy than the son of a Noble Clan.
Looking at this person’s face, he seemed kind, and although there was evidence of bloodshed on him, there did not appear to be signs of extreme cruelty or wickedness—perhaps it was just self-defense against others’ offenses.
One could see the air of righteousness on his face, possibly because he had done some good deeds, which could be why such strong righteousness could be felt emanating from him.
Jiang Tang took the storage bag and used his spiritual power to observe the herbs inside, as well as the alchemy prescription and the antidote prescription, but he didn’t take any of these items out.
Since the Tang Family Master trusted him so much, Jiang Tang didn’t want to cause him any trouble, especially since there were other ladies from the outside Noble Clans present.
Jiang Tang took out an alchemy furnace from his space, and to disguise that he had taken the pill furnace from the storage bag, he had read the prescriptions.
He knew that using a pill furnace would yield better results when concocting poison.
He did not know how to improve these poisons, but his Alchemy Treasure Furnace would refine and improve the poisons and the antidote for him—without any deliberate effort, as he was not knowledgeable in the area of poison.
The alchemy furnace that Jiang Tang took out made the eyes of everyone in the hall brighten; those from the Tang Family who had never seen this alchemy furnace before gazed at it as if it were a treasure.
Their eyes were too greedy, with that kind of desire to snatch it away, to own the alchemy furnace as their own.
The Tang Family Master also harbored this idea but warned the Elders not to act rashly, feeling that with such a fine alchemy furnace, even without the necessary ability, one could refine better poison pills.
They sighed, wondering why their family did not possess such a fine Alchemy Treasure Furnace?
“What a treasure, such a Treasured Furnace.”
Jiang Tang then released the Xuanming Spiritual Fire.
Those who had already seen the Xuanming Spiritual Fire still could not hide their envy and jealousy.
Those Members of the Tang Family who hadn’t seen it, after witnessing the Alchemy Treasure Furnace, now revealed greed on their faces upon seeing the Xuanming Spiritual Fire.
“Xuanming Spiritual Fire, such a powerful Fire Spirit.”
The Tang Family Master’s eyes fixed on the Xuanming Spiritual Fire; a fire with a Fire Spirit was a somewhat rare treasure in the Cultivation World, a pity that it was already contracted to a master.
Unless they killed Jiang Tang, obtaining such a fire would be of no use to them.
With a Fire Spirit like the Xuanming Spiritual Fire, it was not easy to contend with.
They didn’t know how many more tricks Jiang Tang had up his sleeve, and they dared not turn against him.
The greed and excitement on their faces as they watched over them could not help but manifest in their clenched fists.
From their eyes, expressions, and hands, one could sense excitement even among the experienced members of the Tang Family’s leadership.
As Jiang Tang produced the alchemy furnace and Xuanming Spiritual Fire, he was already alert and preparing to prevent anyone in the hall from trying to snatch it, deploying his avatar to be ready to fend off any sneak attacks.
Jiang Tang seemed oblivious to the expressions of the people in the hall, as if he, like the Members of the Tang Family, believed that with his Alchemy Treasure Furnace and the Xuanming Spiritual Fire at hand, there was no need for him to know how to concoct poison pills; the entire process required no concern from him.
All he needed to do was to add the herbs into the alchemy furnace according to their prescriptions and wait for the pills to be ready.
Thinking this, Jiang Tang did just that.
He had only glanced at one alchemy prescription and added the herbs to the alchemy furnace following the written sequence.
He felt that concocting poison pills was not much different from other pills, and he managed it with ease, in the quickest time possible.
Since he wasn’t teaching others alchemy now, he wasn’t afraid of others learning about the speed of his alchemy skill or the rate at which he produced pills.
Aside from the Tang Family, how many other families would need such poison concocted?
Jiang Tang directly produced ten pills in one batch in the span of a single breath with such speed, but managed to catch the flying pills in a jade bottle.
All the people present with their mouths agape in surprise could hardly close their mouths as he proceeded to concoct the antidote to the poison pills he had made.
“To actually concoct a batch of ten pills, and all of them superior quality?
The Tang Family Master and Members of the Tang Family could not help but exclaim in admiration, realizing that seeing him in person was different from hearing about him; Jiang Tang really was as formidable as the rumors suggested.
They were fortunate they had not attempted to seize the items earlier, and avoided missing the opportunity to make an alliance with him.
Even if they had managed to snatch the alchemy furnace and fire seed, they weren’t confident they could concoct superior poison pills; they were simply not on the same level.
Jiang Tang increased his speed even more, concocting the antidote faster than the poison pills.
He produced another batch of superior quality pills, limiting the number to ten.
“Tang Family Master, my time is limited so I can only show my modest skills by concocting these two batches of pills for you.”
Jiang Tang returned the storage bag to the Tang Family Master, as well as the twenty pills he had concocted.
