C26 Superior Pill

Hearing Wu Hui's words, Hai Qinglan smiled but shook her head. She naturally did not believe that Wu Hui could remember everything. In her view, Wu Hui was just anxious to refine pills, so he wanted to become a Pill Master. Herbarium is the foundation. Only by understanding the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs would one be able to refine pills better.

"What the grade of herb is the Blue Spotted Flower? What effect does it have?" Hai Qinglan suddenly asked.

"The Blue Spot Flower is a Grade One Herb that grows in moist places. It has a mild medicinal property and has a nourishing effect." Wu Hui replied respectfully.

"What about the soft yellow fruit?"

...

"Soft Yellow Fruit is also a Grade One Herb. It is produced in the land of ores and has the effect of stopping bleeding and solidifying one's foundation."

...

...

After asking Wu Hui about the various pills, Hai Qinglan nodded her head in satisfaction, but in her heart, she was greatly shocked. Although the medicinal herbs that she asked was only the grade one medicinal herbs that were previously recorded, Grade One Herb made up nearly half of the total number of herbarium. For Wu Hui to be able to casually answer such questions, it could be seen that Wu Hui had spent an entire night of hard work memorizing them, and his Spiritual Sense was also very strong.

"That's right. Back then, when I memorized the Grade One Herb, it took me seven days. But you were actually able to remember it in one night." Hai Qinglan smiled, and was increasingly satisfied with Wu Hui. Only, Hai Qinglan did not know that what Wu Hui remembered was not just Grade One Herb, but the entire herbarium.

...

Within the Pill Room, Wu Hui held onto the Pill Furnace's handle with both hands and guided the fire spirit within the Pill Furnace. He took the first step. "Fire!"

Under the control of Wu Hui's Spiritual Sense, the two fire spirits were slowly injected into the Pill Furnace, and they kept burning.

Wu Hui let out a small sigh of relief, and his palms faintly trembled.

Puff! With a light sound, the ball of flames within the Pill Furnace was completely destroyed.

"Ah, what's going on?"

Seeing the flame that he had painstakingly gathered suddenly vanish, Wu Hui felt a little depressed in his heart.

"Hehe…If you want your first fire to succeed, you must be very ambitious." Hai Qinglan chuckled from the side, "Setting fire is the first step in concocting pills. It needs to gather one's own Spiritual Sense, control the fire spirit, and after the fire spirit is removed from one's body, it will be isolated within the Pill Furnace. If one makes even the slightest mistake during this period, it will fail. It took me nearly a week to master the art of fire. "

Hearing Hai Qinglan's words, Wu Hui slowly calmed down, recovering from anxious mood. He carefully recalled the scene of his defeat. Within Wu Hui's body, the Five Elements Arts began to circulate. The Fire Martial Qi in the body followed the veins and arrived at Wu Hui's palm, and then a ball of fire spirit once again appeared.

Wu Hui placed his hand on the handle again. Like last time, the fire spirit entered the Pill Furnace, but Wu Hui's feelings were completely different. He felt that the spirit in the fire spirit, like having its own consciousness, was attached to him

Wu Hui put his hands down. The flames within the Pill Furnace were still calmly burning, and did not show any signs of disappearing.

Hai Qinglan watched all of this with her mouth open wide, rubbing her beautiful eyes. She still could not believe what she was seeing.

When Hai Qinglan started to learn how to start a fire, she used almost a week. Her comprehension ability could already be considered very strong, and Hai Qinglan had also heard of some fire attributed pill refining geniuses who were able to successfully start a fire in three days. It was even rumored that there was someone able to understand how to start a fire in one day. However, if someone had succeeded in setting up a fire for the second time, Hai Qinglan would not even dare to think about it.

"If your main attribute is fire, I believe that your Pill Master's achievements in future will be at least at the seventh stage. What a pity…" Hai Qinglan shook her head in regret.

"Elder Hai, although my fire attribute is secondary, I don't think that my achievements have stopped at third grade." Wu Hui looked at the fire spirit that was still burning inside the Pill Furnace, and said with determination.

"Perhaps, your talent in alchemy is extraordinary. I really hope to see the moment you break through your third grade." Hai Qinglan's face revealed traces of hope.

Wu Hui's first step of refining pills had already been successful, and now it was time for his second step. The second step was also divided into a few small steps. First, he had placed the herbs in, according to the pills he wanted to refine. And this time, Wu Hui had refined Healing pills of First Grade. Yesterday, Hai Qinglan had showed the procedures for him.

At that time, Wu Hui only saw Hai Qinglan placing the medicinal herbs into the Pill Furnace, but he did not know what kind of medicinal herbs were inside. At present, after reading the herbarium, he had already known which five herbs he needed.

The Blue Spot Flower, Soft Yellow Fruit, Purple Cloud Grass, Red Wood Fruit and the Level One Earth Rat Beast Pill. These were Grade One Herb and inner cores of barren beasts used to refine healing medicines.

The inner cores of barren beasts were obtained from the body of the beasts. It was the essence of the beast and the source of its power. There were a large number of barren beasts in the Barren Beast Forest at the western part of the Xin Si City. Every year, the Wu Family would arrange for people to go to the Barren Beast Forest to obtain beast cores.

Wu Hui took the herbs and beast cores from Hai Qinglan and threw them into the Pill Furnace. Once again, he controlled the Pill Furnace with his hands and began to refine the herbs.

The refining process of the medicinal herbs was much more difficult than setting fire. It was only after failing six times did Wu Hui finally manage to refine the herbal essence he wanted. But he didn't dare to be even the slightest bit careless right now. The Spiritual Sense wrapping the herbal essence, continuously fused according to the method that Elder Hai taught him. Wu Hui's forehead was already filled with sweat, and he did not bother to wipe it off. His eyes were tightly shut, and his entire mind was placed within the Pill Furnace, not daring to relax in the slightest.

As time passed by, Hai Qinglan, who was observing by the side, became more and more surprised. Of the three parts of refining pills, one was a fire, the second was refining pill essence, and the third was pill refining. He failed once at the first step and six times the second step. And at the third step, refining a pill, according to Hai Qinglan's estimation, he was to fail at least five times before being able to succeed. Even so Wu Hui's pill refining talent was still very strong. But from this scene, the pills Wu Hui had refined did not show any signs of failure. Instead, a faint white colored medicinal qi slowly appeared through the Pill Furnace.

"This is the medicinal qi pill. Could it be that it is going to become a pill?" Hai Qinglan still could not believe it, and stared blankly at the condensing medicinal qi.

At one point, the originally straight white medicinal qi suddenly turned pale, and almost disappeared. Seeing this scene, Hai Qinglan quietly heaved a sigh of relief, and thought in her heart, "Luckily, you didn't succeed the first time. If you succeed, I would be too embarrassed to teach you again. This is simply too much of a blow. Back then, just because I failed ten times at this step, I would be praised so highly by my own master."

At this moment, Wu Hui was frowning deeply, he had made every effort to use the Spiritual Sense to control the fire spirit, and condense the pill. Originally, everything had gone smoothly, and the pill was about to take shape, but right at this moment, the fire spirit suddenly produced an undetectable fluctuation, as though a person who was eating lunch suddenly choked. Just at this moment, the pill that was condensed suddenly separated, and the medicinal qi outside the Pill Furnace became fading.

"What's going on? Why would a fire spirit suddenly fluctuate?" From what Wu Hui can tell, his own fire spirit does not seem to be willing to refine these five herbal essences. Could it be…" A crazy idea suddenly popped up in Wu Hui's mind. As soon as the idea appeared, it grew like wild grass in his mind. This made Wu Hui have a strong urge to try it out.

The Blue Spot Flower's attribute was water, the Yellow Soft Fruit was gold, the Red Wood Fruit was wood, and the Earth Grass was earth. However, the Purple Cloud Grass had no attribute. Metal, wood, water, earth; the five elements lacked only fire.

"Elder Hai, give me a Flaming Orchid." Wu Hui suddenly said, startling Hai Qinglan.

Wasn't it a failure? What does he want the Flaming Orchid for?

Hai Qinglan was a little surprised and she did not know what Wu Hui wanted to do, but she still took out a Flaming Orchid from the Storage Ring.

Flaming Orchid was born at the edge of the desert. It contained a great amount of fire essence and was a fire attribute medicinal herb.

Wu Hui took the Flaming Orchid and threw it into the Pill Furnace without hesitation.

"Ah, Wu Hui, what are you trying to do?" Hai Qinglan turned pale with fright. She could not help but cry out, as she was unavoidably a little disappointed in Wu Hui.

Failure was not something to be afraid of. What was to be afraid of was being stubborn even though you knew you were going to fail. Even a healing medicine of grade one was only able to form a pill after verification from countless Pill Masters. If just adding a random medicinal herb could form a pill, then the pill formula wouldn't be so precious.

Even though Pill City gave out herbarium to authenticated Pill masters, they would absolutely not impart any of the pill formulas to anyone. Every type of pill formula was incomparably precious, and Hai Qinglan had been Pill Master for almost six years, but she had only collected six types of pill formulas of grade one.

Hearing Hai Qinglan's words, Wu Hui did not stop as his entire mind was focused on the Pill Furnace. The Flaming Orchid that was added in was quickly refined by Wu Hui, and the Five Elements Arts circulated within his body. The Spiritual Sense controlled the fire spirit, and the fire spirit continuously churned, gathering the essences of the six types of medicinal herbs together. This time, Wu Hui did not feel the fire spirit stagnating, and the fire spirit continued to burn, fusing with the essences.

Seeing that Wu Hui did not stop, Hai Qinglan shook her head and couldn't help but think back to that year. When she had just become a Pill Master, she had also thought about creating his own pill formulas. But reality was cruel even though dream was sweet. After a few failures, she finally gave up on those whimsical thoughts.

Just then, a strong medicinal smell suddenly appeared in the middle of Pill Room, catching Hai Qinglan off guard.

"This is…" Hai Qinglan stared intently at the white medicinal qi that suddenly rose up again, his chest rising and falling, his heart resonating loudly.

"Withdraw!"

With a low shout, Wu Hui stood up, and three white sparkling medicinal pellets appeared in her palm. The sweat on his face couldn't hide the joy.

"This is a supreme Healing pill!" Hai Qinglan did not care about her image and immediately rushed in front of Wu Hui, grabbed the pill from Wu Hui's hand and placed it in front of her eyes, carefully inspecting it. A few seconds later, she cried out with surprise.

Suddenly, she turned and looked at Wu Hui. She gaze was able to hide her passion.
