Chapter 31: Miben Guyuan Pill

In the blink of an eye.

A month had passed since Yao Yan and Mu Xiao's fight. During this month, he slowed down his cultivation and immersed himself in alchemy every day to improve his own strength. Whether it was his fighting spirit, soul power or blood power, they had all increased too much in this year and needed to be refined and polished.

He started practicing with first-grade elixirs, and after he became proficient in it, he began to refine second- and third-grade elixirs. At the same time, he also began to gradually raise his standards for himself, to the point of being demanding.

Alchemist is a profession that has extremely strict requirements on oneself. It requires perfect control over one's own fighting spirit and soul power, and this is just the basis. After that, it is also necessary to perfectly control the fire. Basically every alchemist is a master of playing with fire, and the way he plays with fire is more dexterous than his own fingers.

In this regard, Yao Yan is not weak. He possesses the almost divine power of the Medicine Clan's Dou Emperor bloodline, coupled with the soul power containing spiritual energy. He has innate advantages both in refining medicinal materials and controlling fire. With the training of alchemy masters like Hunxuzi, his alchemy skills have almost reached the limit of what can be achieved at this age.

What limits him is only his own fighting spirit and soul power.

Therefore, when he was refining low-grade elixirs, he had an unimaginable yield rate.

The quality of the first to third grades can reach 99%, and they are all in perfect condition.

If not for the one time when insufficient fighting spirit caused the failure of alchemy, the yield rate would have reached an astonishing 100%. Even many sixth- and seventh-grade alchemists could not achieve such a yield rate, and Yao Yan was currently only a fourth-grade alchemist...

In just one month, many more medicine bottles appeared in the waterfall cave. They were filled with various elixirs, ranging from one to four grades, and many of them were rare treasures that could not be bought with money on the market.

At this moment, they were all piled up in the corner by Yao Yan like garbage, leaving Ling'er to swallow them.

Ling'er felt that this month was the happiest month in her life. She ate whatever she wanted. Those pills containing pure plant essences fell into her stomach one by one. It seemed that she could never finish them. In two words, happiness!
As Ling'er swallowed a large amount of pills, she gained a lot of weight...

Yao Yan was quite speechless about this. If he didn't know that the other party was the spirit of strange fire, he would really be worried that the other party would get an upset stomach. The medicinal power and energy contained in the elixir were no joke, especially the fourth-grade elixir, which already contained some energy of heaven and earth and was no longer a simple elixir.

Fortunately, there are not many fourth-grade elixirs, and they are all auxiliary elixirs with average value, otherwise he really can't afford to raise this little guy.

now.

Yao Yan was concentrating on refining a fifth-grade Miben Guyuan Pill.

This pill is one of the inherited prescriptions of the Medicine Clan, and was given to him by a herbal farmer. The refining technique of this pill is complicated and it is expensive. It is an exclusive pill for the Medicine Clan to train young members. After taking it, it can not only strengthen the muscles and bones, but also enhance the talent for cultivation and nourish the soul.

Its value is so high that even the medicinal herbs that allow free use of elixirs below the sixth grade have to limit their supply.

three years ago.

If Yao Yan's bloodline level is tested to be above the fourth grade and he is included in the core clan members, he will be eligible to obtain this pill. By swallowing it, he can nourish his body, increase his cultivation talent, and gradually widen the gap with ordinary people.

The methods used by the Dou Di family to train young members are unimaginable to outsiders.

Just like Hunxuzi's training of Yaoyan, he was allowed to eat as much as he wanted of the fifth or sixth grade body-tempering pills and snacks. Even precious natural treasures like Vajra Fruit were supplied in large quantities. As long as Yaoyan's body could bear it and he had the potential, there was almost unlimited supply of resources for his cultivation.

"Preparatory work is complete."

The leisurely look on Yao Yan's face disappeared. His eyes slightly condensed, with the golden flames reflected in his eyes. He stared at the medicine cauldron in front of him. Inside the cauldron, a golden fire was burning fiercely. Dozens of drops of medicinal essences of different colors were floating in the flames, like perfect gems, waiting for his processing.

Extracting the essence of medicinal materials is the simplest step for a pharmacist to make pills. As long as one can skillfully control the soul power and the temperature, one can do it.

If someone fails at this step, it only means that he is still an alchemist apprentice.

"Whoo~"

Yao Yan took a deep breath and took a bottle of third-grade Qi-recovering pills from his side and held them in his mouth to prevent his fighting spirit from running out. Then he began the process of condensing the pill. Each medicinal material has different properties, and the effects of different medicinal materials combined are also different. The pharmacist combines different medicinal materials together and finally condenses them into a special pill. The process is a bit like material science, and the pill recipe is the synthesis route.

Many alchemists will try new synthesis routes on their own. The synthesis order of different medicinal materials and the length of fusion time will all lead to different final results.

If an alchemist does not have his own unique recipe for elixirs, he will definitely be laughed at if he tells others about it.

However, it is still too early for Yao Yan. Currently, he only wants to try to refine a fifth-grade elixir. His soul power has long been sufficient. The only thing he lacks is his fighting spirit. However, with the help of a third-grade Qi-recovering elixir, he can give it a try. Under his control, drops of elixir that looked like gems began to merge with each other.

During this process, Yaoyan needs to control the temperature of the flame, the speed of fusion and the time.

Every mistake during this period will lead to ultimate failure.

Gradually, beads of sweat appeared on Yao Yan's forehead, because refining the fifth-grade elixir was too mentally taxing, and his fighting spirit was gradually exhausted, forcing him to look up and take the elixir. As the third-grade Qi-recovering elixir entered his body, his exhausted fighting spirit began to grow.

This process lasted for most of the day before he combined all the essences of the medicinal materials into a semi-finished product the size of a baby's fist. It was colorful and spun around in the golden phantom fire.

"There is only... one last step left."

Yao Yan raised his head and took another third-grade recovery pill. His eyes became more serious. He needed to completely refine the medicinal power of this semi-finished product into a whole. This was also the most important step for an alchemist. It tested the alchemist's control over soul power and flames. If he failed, it would directly lead to the explosion of the furnace, and all the previous efforts would be in vain.

As Yao Yan's soul power poured in, the phantom golden fire in the medicine cauldron burned more and more vigorously, like golden magma rolling, and the semi-finished pills in it began to shrink as the flames burned. The originally colorful colors began to blend and eventually turned into gray-brown. A faint medicinal fragrance emanated from the medicine cauldron.

"Yingying?"

Ling'er, who was originally sleeping, opened her confused eyes and looked towards the medicine cauldron. She felt that something good was growing inside, which made her come to Yao Yan involuntarily and rub his thigh. Unfortunately, Yao Yan ignored her, so she had no choice but to lean on Yao Yan and continue waiting.

It took about a cup of tea.

In the medicine cauldron, the gray-brown pill floating and spinning in the phantom golden fire suddenly paused, and then a fierce energy wave suddenly rippled out from the flame, hitting the medicine cauldron like a ripple, making several violent roars, and at the same time a rich medicinal fragrance spread out, like a light white mist, filling the cave.

The medicinal aroma is extremely sweet. Just one breath will make you feel refreshed and your body will feel as if it is soaked in a hot spring and nourished.

This is the strange phenomenon that occurs after the fifth-grade elixir is made.

Yao Yan knew all this very well, and he was neither sad nor happy. He continued to control the Phantom Golden Fire for the final warming. This was related to the final quality of the elixir. He didn't want the fifth-grade Miben Guyuan Pill he refined to be a low-quality product.

It took about a cup of tea.

A gray-brown pill floated out from the medicine cauldron and landed steadily in front of Yao Yan.

"It's done!"

Yao Yan's face turned slightly pale, and a happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But before he could be happy for a while, a green shadow rushed out silently from the side and grabbed the freshly produced fifth-grade Miben Guyuan Pill in one bite.

"Fuck! Shut up!!"

Suddenly, screams of shock and anger were heard from inside the cave.
