C6 Refining Foundation Building Pills
The alchemy lab that Xia Ling talked about was in fact a specially provided alchemy area, and there was a level three alchemist overseeing it. In addition to providing medicine for Xia Ling's family's pharmacy, he was also responsible for cultivation consumption and external sales.
The art of alchemy was the most noble and mysterious profession in the world. He was even more respected than a martial arts cultivator.
Spirit pills were called the gift of heaven. The perfect combination of human intelligence and heavenly and earthly treasures. Apothecary was one of the key factors that played a decisive role. From the moment they were born, they had dedicated themselves to the pursuit of the greatest temptation of all — longevity.
For every aristocratic family, pill refining was the most important part!
There was an alchemist in the clan, which was enough to make all clans within five hundred miles feel extreme reverence. Everyone has a life or death situation. When one is deeply stuck in a bottleneck, no matter how profound one's cultivation is, it is difficult to avoid. On the other hand, it was extremely difficult to cultivate apothecaries, which resulted in them gaining a lot of prestige.
On the other hand, a Tier 3 apothecary was an expert in the field of pill forging. In an aristocratic family like Xia Family, it had always been regarded as the greatest assistance and treasure! With his third-grade strength, he was able to control countless medicinal herbs and turn them into spirit pills. In terms of Ningnan City, he was only second to Sun Family which was famous for refining pills!
The alchemy lab was actually a small building. It seemed very ordinary.
Xia Ling walked to the front of the alchemy room according to his body's memory.
Xia Ling, who came to get the medicine from his father a few times,
At least he was familiar with the road. He knocked on the door, and after a while, a decadent burly man opened it. His face was filled with stubble, as if he was still in a deep sleep: "Who is it? Oh, so it's a kid from Xia Family. Now is not the time to get the medicine? "
Even though this apothecary had a sloppy exterior, it was due to his personality. With his strength, no matter what he wanted, as long as he said those words, countless people would offer up their hands!
"Master Zhu," Xia Ling politely said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I just came to borrow some medicine, if I could use some materials, I would be extremely grateful."
Previously, he knew that his father had borrowed a pharmacy, so Master Zhu seemed to be easier to talk to.
The big man grinned: "Little kid, what pill refining room do you use?" Uncle Medicinal Herbs cannot let you degrade them. "
Master Zhu's rejection was not out of Xia Ling's expectations.
Xia Ling cupped his hands in a salute and continued, "I just wanted to borrow your tools. I have prepared all the related herbs."
Eh? The big man was a bit surprised.
The ingredients used to concoct the pills were no ordinary flowers or plants. Most of them grew up in dangerous, sparsely populated areas. If he wanted to buy it, it would be worth a thousand gold.
Xia Ling was a child of about ten years old, how could he have herbs?
The big man squinted his eyes and asked, "Let me see what you have prepared."
Xia Ling was a good person and took out a clean medicine bag from his sleeve.
The big bloke took it and opened it. He took a glance inside and couldn't help but giggle. "Is this the medicinal herbs you were talking about?" These wild flowers and weeds do not have the value to refine medicine. "
If all of these things could be used to concoct pills, then Master Zhu could just poke his eyes open and wash his hands.
Seeing the herbs that could be seen everywhere, Master Zhu became more and more confident, Xia Ling was just a kid that came to play around.
"I think the preparation of the medicinal herb depends on its medicinal properties, not its price." Xia Ling smiled faintly, "You don't even know what kind of pill I will refine, how can you say that my preparations are useless?"
"Oh?" The big man seemed to have heard something funny as his eyes narrowed. "Fine, I'll only give your father some face. Be careful when you go in." As he spoke, he lifted his hand and opened the door.
Xia Ling thanked him again and walked into the pharmacy. The building didn't look big, but there was a universe inside. The eaves of the houses were high, and there were two large medicine cabinets in the corner. On the counter, there were all kinds of instruments. Putting aside recognizing them, it was possible that others had never even seen them before. On the other side of the room, many pill furnaces of various sizes were sparkling with a metallic luster.
The youth couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ever since he had broken through to the Emperor Realm, how long had it been since he'd refined a pill?
Thirty thousand years ago, as a system, refining pills was a must for all cultivators.
High-end cultivators had always complemented each other with alchemy. Xia Ling's martial arts were exceptional, and his skill in alchemy was also at the peak.
With a raise of his hand, the raw materials he had picked on the way just now fell accurately into a bowl. Less hands. He pinched off some of it with two fingers and put it into the small grinder. His movements were extremely fast, and it was the same as the previous one. His hands were like flowers as they danced back and forth in the various instruments.
It seemed as if the originally dead items had a spiritual energy within his hand.
Oh? The large man's eyes could not help but light up. Putting aside the fact that he had the ability to concoct pills, his actions during preparation were extremely precise. Putting everything aside, without more than ten years of hard work, it was impossible for one to reach such a level.
How old was this child to have reached such a level? He could be said to be a genius!
Xia Ling was so busy that he didn't even look at his target. He pointed behind him and a ball of energy shot out. In the middle was a medium-sized pill furnace. Suddenly, a faint blue flame lit up beneath the furnace.
The youth slapped the table with his palm. The ingredients he had just processed were all thrown into the air. With a wave of his hand, he threw them all into the furnace.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
The big man's face became serious. This was not the right procedure. With the steps taken by the youth, how could he enter the furnace now? Moreover, he was currently using blue flames. How could the temperature be possible!?
It was impossible to form a pill like this! In his current situation, the best he could do was refine the ingredients into medicinal dregs!
However, Xia Ling was not in a hurry. He quickly stepped forward and used his right palm to attach the pill furnace. His palm turned into a high-temperature white glow with the naked eye. He actually used his own inner force to directly control the temperature of the flame!
"Stop, are you planning to take everyone's lives!?"
Master Zhu suddenly became anxious. It wasn't impossible to control the temperature with inner force. It was just that his skill hadn't reached the Transformation Boundary, so how could his skill be able to keep up with the changes in the furnace's temperature?
If the furnace temperature wasn't stable, the furnace would explode! At this distance, if the furnace were to explode, the entire alchemy lab would probably be on the verge of collapsing!
Cold sweat appeared on the big man's forehead. He wanted to walk forward and use his own strength to stabilize the fire.
He was a master who had broken through Congealing Void, Xia Ling's highest level was Qi-entraining Rank. If he used his own Genuine Qi to wrap the pill furnace, he should be able to turn Xia Ling's Genuine Qi into a demon.
Although he wasn't confident in the control of the Genuine Qi, it was still better than letting Xia Ling mess around!
This bastard, if he knew earlier, he wouldn't have allowed him to get close to the cauldron. Master Zhu felt bitter in his heart. After stabilizing the situation, he will definitely get even with him!
The large man circulated his martial arts with his palms. Just as he was about to approach the pill furnace, he realized that the young man's internal energy was like an iron wall.
What?
Master Zhu was shocked. He could clearly feel that even though he was only at the Qi Drawing level, he could not see through the quality! His internal energy, like butter in water, was assimilated by Xia Ling in an instant!
"You … What are you doing? " The big man's face was flushed as he retracted his palm to suppress the surging blood in his heart.
Xia Ling's expression did not change: "I had no choice just now. "If I am disturbed by your inner force, I cannot guarantee the stability of the pill furnace, so I can only come up with this plan."
"You can control the temperature of the furnace with just your inner strength," the big man asked in disbelief, "Or do you only have one hand?"
Master Zhu felt that half of his world had collapsed!
How could there be such a method!?
Only then did Xia Ling remember that using inner force to control the furnace's temperature was not a method to concoct pills, but rather the Emperor Stage's method of luck!
The dignified Eternal Sword Emperor, using inner force to control the furnace's temperature could only be said to be a simple gesture of convenience. But to others, it was simply godly!
Putting aside a grade-3 apothecary, even the current pinnacle of grade-9 apothecaries would find it impossible to grasp such a method!
And now, with Xia Ling's precise control of inner force, coupled with his knowledge that surpassed that of the current era. He was just trying to speed up the process of the pill forging, so he used this method subconsciously.
The youth could only explain, "I just found out by accident. If Master Zhu is interested, we can talk about it later."
"Good, good!" The big man was overjoyed as he rubbed his hands. He sat quietly at the side with a happy expression, waiting for Xia Ling to finish his work. There was no need to talk about the others in the pill refining room. The moment the youth's palm touched the pill furnace, they were all flabbergasted, unable to say a single word.
Xia Ling's right hand continued to move above the pill furnace, emitting a blinding white light. After a moment, he realized that the time was up. He quickly finished his cultivation and used a small shovel to gently take out two green pills.
"This … this is a Yuan Dan?" Master Zhu was experienced and knowledgeable, he opened his eyes wide and said with a trembling voice. He had once been fortunate enough to see one when he was travelling in the four lands. The color and fragrance of the medicine still lingered in his memory.
That was a miracle medicine that could enter the Vein Refining straight to the point of being natural, with no hidden dangers at all!
He had only seen elixirs of this level before, in the entire Xia Family, if it wasn't for the entire Ningnan City, he wouldn't be able to take out a single pellet!
He didn't think that not only was this young man proficient in techniques, he could even take out such an elixir!
"Wrong, wrong," Xia Ling patiently explained, "This is not a Soul Dan, it's called a Foundation Establishment Pill, and it can only be used for breakthroughs below the Qi Drawing Realm. "In other words, it's just the best support for Foundation Establishment."
"Below the Qi-entraining Rank?" Master Zhu's expression immediately changed and revealed an expression of disbelief. He stared and said, "How can that be? Before reaching the Qi-entraining Rank, you must not use pill s that increase your strength, this is the unbreakable truth! "
"The pill that goes against it will definitely cause the Qi channels of cultivators to go into disorder, there can't be a second result! "You …" he said flatly.
Xia Ling interrupted without any hesitation, "How about you try adding the Blood Lipid Stone?"
Lipid stone? Master Zhu's voice suddenly stopped.
Xia Ling sighed, "The Blood Lipid Stone is used to treat injuries and has a miraculous effect on cultivators and Genuine Qi. If Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were to use it, it would create the illusion that their meridians were filled with gas. In this way, the use of pill will not cause any disturbance in the Qi channels. "
The big man stood there in a daze, like a statue. However, his brain was working extremely hard. Xia Ling's seemingly ridiculous proposal, after countless deductions, seemed to be getting more and more correct!
How to let Foundation Establishment stage cultivators use all kinds of pill s to increase their strength was the direction that countless alchemists worked hard for thousands of years! They had put in so much effort to not be able to catch a glimpse of the problem, but this youth had unexpectedly solved it in just a few sentences!
This wasn't something that could be summed up with just a sentence from a young genius!
Master Zhu's eyes were almost unmoving, his body was stiff like a marionette, and an extremely respectful expression slowly surfaced on his face: "S-senior … "Thank you for your guidance."
Xia Ling thought about it and said, "No worries, I have something that I need your help with."
Master Zhu quickly said: "Senior, feel free to tell me!"
Xia Ling said slowly: "I want to apply for my own alchemy lab from the family. I don't know what procedure I'll need. Why don't you help me ask around and tell me tomorrow? "
