Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 219 Alchemy
After listening to Lin Bei's words, Zhang Tie was still not very happy, but said hesitantly:
"But, Doctor Mo requires us to successfully practice the spells he taught us. I want to change to another spell. Is that possible?"

Lin Bei smiled and said confidently:
"Don't worry, this is not a problem. I will take care of it when the time comes."

Are you kidding? By the time Lin Bei had obtained Zhang Tie's cultivation method, Mo Juren would have been dealt with by him long ago. How could there be any assessment?

So Lin Bei's assurance was full of confidence, so much so that Zhang Tie immediately chose to believe Lin Bei when he heard it.

Han Li, who was standing by, also spoke to comfort him:
"Don't worry, Zhang Tie. Since Lin Bei said it's okay, then it must be okay. Lin Bei is the most powerful among us."

Zhang Tie nodded heavily and said:

"okay."

Afterwards, the three of them continued to chat for a long time, and the three who seemed to be on the verge of estrangement became friends again.

Afterwards, Lin Bei and Han Li's lives seemed to return to the way they were before, as if nothing had changed.

But that's just on the surface.

In fact, since that day when Lin Bei handed the Palm of Heaven Bottle to Han Li, Han Li has been using the Palm of Heaven Bottle to cultivate precious medicinal materials of high age under Lin Bei's guidance.

For example, for commonly used medicinal materials such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Polygonatum sibiricum, etc., basically dozens of plants of each are cultivated for use.

However, because the strange scenes and noises caused by the Zhantian Bottle every time it absorbed moonlight were quite loud, and Mo Juren was a very shrewd and cautious person, in order to hide it from Mo Juren, the task of carrying the Zhantian Bottle to produce the green liquid had to be done by Lin Bei himself.

After all, with Han Li's skills, it would be a bit difficult for him to sneak out silently under Mo Juren's nose every night without being suspected.

Therefore, every night Lin Bei would sneak out with the Palm of Heaven Bottle, absorb the moonlight to condense the green liquid, and come back before dawn to hand the Palm of Heaven Bottle to Han Li.

In the morning, Han Li would continue to learn medical skills from Mo Juren, mainly learning how to identify and study the properties of medicinal herbs in order to better cultivate them.

During the free time in the afternoon, Han Li would leave alone on the pretext of exercising, and go to the medicinal field secretly opened up by Lin Bei and Han Li to take care of the spiritual herbs.

Although the process seems a bit troublesome, there is no other way because once the green liquid is taken out of the Zhangtian Bottle, it will become ineffective within a quarter of an hour at most, so this troublesome handover method is the only option.

In addition to being responsible for condensing the green liquid, Lin Bei also did not neglect learning the pill formula as mentioned earlier.

As mentioned before, there are three bookshelves in Mo Juren's room, all of which are filled with various books, most of which are medical books.

Although Mo Juren had "evil intentions" towards Lin Bei and the others, at least on the surface he was indeed training Lin Bei and the others as his disciples, so he did not prohibit Lin Bei and the others from reading the books in the room.

He just asked Lin Bei and the others to complete the training he required before they could go to see it.

However, this is not a limitation for Lin Bei. After all, after getting the book, he can just flip through it and remember everything, and then look for it slowly later.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Lin Bei to find the recipe for the elixir he needed in Mo Juren's collection of books.

Lin Bei found two recipes for elixirs that could speed up cultivation, namely the Huanglong Pill and the Jinsui Pill. According to the records in the book, the effects of the two pills are similar, but the medicinal materials used are different.

The effect of Huanglongdan is slightly better, but the herbs needed are more precious. Jinsuiwan is slightly worse, and the herbs needed are also difficult to find.

For Lin Bei and his friends, medicinal materials were naturally not a problem, so Lin Bei naturally chose to take them all.

However, the elixir recipes in Mo Juren's collection only recorded the types and proportions of medicinal materials needed for the elixir, but the specific precautions, such as the age requirements and configuration methods of the elixir, were relatively vague.

In order to increase the success rate of refining medicine, Lin Bei can only choose to ask Mo Juren for advice in this regard. After all, no matter which world Lin Bei is from, he has no experience in refining pills, and he certainly can't figure it out on his own.

If you try rashly, you will definitely waste a lot of medicinal materials.

Although medicinal herbs are not valuable to Lin Bei and his team, it still takes a lot of time to cultivate so many medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old.

Lin Bei originally thought that the method of refining this precious elixir must be Mo Juren's secret. He planned for several days before he indirectly expressed his interest in refining the elixir and then asked Mo Juren for advice.

Unexpectedly, in response to Lin Bei's question, Mo Juren generously taught him the methods of refining and configuring these pills, leaving Lin Bei with no idea what to do.

If Lin Bei didn't know Mo Juren's true face, he almost thought he had met a good master.

Therefore, after learning, Lin Bei couldn't help but ask Mo Juren out of curiosity:
"Master Mo, a pill recipe and a cultivation method like this that can increase cultivation should be very valuable, right? Why did you teach it to me so casually?"

After hearing this, Mo Juren glanced at Lin Bei, shook his head and said lightly:

“This pill recipe is indeed precious, but what is truly rare are the precious medicinal materials required for this recipe.

I have had this recipe for over ten years, but I have not yet been able to gather all the herbs needed to make the finished pill myself."

After hearing Mo Juren's unexpectedly reasonable answer, Lin Bei suddenly realized that he had subconsciously ignored this question.

For ordinary people whose lifespan is only a few decades, medicinal materials that are hundreds of years old are naturally far more precious than the pill formula that can be learned and copied.

After getting Mo Juren's answer, Lin Bei pretended to be disappointed and then never mentioned the matter of alchemy again.

And Mo Juren really had no doubts about this. After all, when he saw those pill recipes and knew the magical effects of the pills, he was quite interested in them like Lin Bei, and it took him a lot of time to learn how to refine the pills.

As a result, even after studying the recipe for ten years, he could only practice with some common medicinal materials, and still has not been able to refine the real Huanglong Pill.

After Lin Bei learned the methods of refining Huanglong Pills and Jinsui Pills from Mo Juren, he immediately arranged for Han Li to start cultivating the medicinal materials needed for the two kinds of pills.

Fortunately, Han Li had already cultivated a lot of commonly used medicinal herbs such as ginseng and polygonatum in advance, so there were not many missing.

Therefore, on the third day, Lin Bei and his team gathered all the necessary medicinal materials for the two drugs and began to formally refine them.

Refining pills is not an easy task. Although Lin Bei and his team are now only refining the most basic elixirs, and they don't even need an alchemy furnace or fire, and the refining method is closer to the way ordinary people refine pills by rolling them into pills, it is still full of difficulties.

Even with Lin Bei's body control ability and talent, he still failed the first time he refined it.

Fortunately, after Lin Bei broke through to the fourth level of Qi training, his five senses were greatly enhanced. After breaking through the seventh level of Qi training, he also opened up his spiritual consciousness in advance. Therefore, after failing once, Lin Bei completely mastered all the key points of refining the Yellow Dragon Pill and never failed again since then.

Including the subsequent refining of the Golden Marrow Pill, there was no failure. After consuming all the medicinal materials cultivated by Han Li, Lin Bei refined dozens of Yellow Dragon Pills and Golden Marrow Pills.

During this period, Han Li, out of curiosity, also took a few herbs and tried to refine them, but he failed every time and didn't even master the trick.

Han Li, who had thought that alchemy was very simple because Lin Bei had only failed once, now looked very unhappy.

After all, those medicinal herbs were cultivated by Han Li with great effort, and Han Li now knows the value of these medicinal herbs to some extent. If the medicinal herbs he wasted were left out, they would be worth a lot of money!

Han Li, who had not yet gotten rid of his peasant mentality, was now heartbroken and wished he could slap himself a few times.

"Luckily you're here, Lin Bei. If I were to do this alone, I don't know how much medicinal herbs would be wasted!"

Han Li, who fully realized the importance of Lin Bei, said to Lin Bei with emotion.

Lin Bei smiled slightly and gladly accepted Han Li's praise.

After the pill is refined, the first thing to do is naturally to take it to try out its effects.

Since Huanglongdan and Jinsuiwan are both relatively mild pills and do not conflict with each other, they can be taken together.

Lin Bei and Han Li each took a Yellow Dragon Pill and a Golden Marrow Pill, sat cross-legged in meditation, and swallowed them at the same time.

The effect of this pill, which was made from a large amount of precious medicinal materials, was indeed very good. After Han Li took the pill, he felt a breakthrough in just a quarter of an hour.

Since Lin Bei's realm was much higher than Han Li's, having already reached the eighth level of Qi training, he did not see the same immediate effect as Han Li, but it also allowed Lin Bei to advance from the initial eighth level to the middle level.

According to Lin Bei's estimation, if he eats it two or three more times, it will be enough for Lin Bei to break through to the ninth level of Qi training!
These two small pills are equivalent to Lin Bei’s more than ten days of practice!
This is because Lin Bei’s talent is already extremely amazing. Given Han Li’s cultivation speed, these two pills are equivalent to Han Li’s two or three years of hard practice.

After Lin Bei finished refining the medicinal power of the two pills and opened his eyes, he found that Han Li's training was not over yet.

Lin Bei waited for a long time before Han Li finished refining the medicinal power of the two pills and slowly opened his eyes.

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Han Li said to Lin Bei excitedly:

“Lin Bei, these two kinds of elixirs are truly amazing!
Although I have only practiced for a short while, I have not only completely mastered the first level of the technique, but I also feel that more than half of the medicinal power has not been consumed!

If it weren't for the lack of the following skills, I feel I could continue to break through!"

Lin Bei looked at the excited Han Li and could understand his feelings. He smiled and gave half of the Yellow Dragon Pill and the Golden Marrow Pill to Han Li, saying:

"As long as it works, you can take these pills first. They should be enough for your cultivation. As for the subsequent cultivation techniques, you can ask Master Mo after you return.

Hasn't he been urging us to master the first level of this technique as quickly as possible?

I believe that after he knows our progress in cultivation, he will be happy to teach us the following exercises."

Han Li didn't bother to be polite with Lin Bei. He took the pill from Lin Bei and nodded repeatedly.

"Well, let's go quickly and find Mr. Mo now!"

Looking at Han Li who was so excited that he almost forgot himself, Lin Bei frowned slightly, then reached out and grabbed him and said:

"Han Li, do you remember what I told you before? We can't let anyone know about the little green bottle. Your cultivation speed has always been slow. If Doctor Mo asks you why you suddenly broke through, how will you answer?"

After being reminded by Lin Bei, Han Li finally realized that he had gotten a little carried away. He calmed down a little, and then asked in a somewhat bewildered manner:

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, but didn't you just ask me to ask Master Mo for the follow-up exercises?

So how should I ask in this situation?"

Lin Bei looked at Han Li, who looked at a loss, and shook his head helplessly.

But there is no other way. After all, Han Li is only ten years old now and has too little experience. We cannot expect him to be as cautious and thoughtful as the grown-up Han Li in the original plot.

Lin Bei could only speak up and give detailed instructions:
"Although I told you to ask Mr. Mo, I also didn't ask you to ask directly.

In the next two days, you can act as if you have suddenly become enlightened and ask Master Mo some questions about cultivation from time to time.

Wait two days, then tell Mr. Mo that you have made a breakthrough. With this preparation, I believe Mr. Mo will not doubt it anymore."

After Han Li heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Bei with admiration and said:
"Yeah, you are really smart, Lin Bei. I'll do as you say!"

Afterwards, Lin Bei taught Han Li some words for communicating with Mr. Mo, and then returned to his residence in Shenshou Valley with Han Li.

In the next few days, Han Li began to follow Lin Bei's teachings and show off in front of Master Mo from time to time, asking some questions related to cultivation to show that he had gained some insights.

As Lin Bei expected, Mr. Mo was quite overjoyed, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Han Li.

However, the happier Mr. Mo appeared, the more uneasy Han Li became.

It was not until five days later that Han Li informed Mo Juren that he had mastered the first level of Changchun Gong, and then he obtained the rest of the Changchun Gong techniques from Mo Juren.

But after getting the skills, Han Li did not practice it immediately. Instead, he found Lin Bei with a worried look on his face.

Lin Bei had anticipated this situation. He had guessed that things would develop like this when he asked Han Li to ask Mo Juren about the subsequent techniques.

But he still pretended to be curious and asked:

"Han Li, what's wrong with you? I just saw Master Mo called you over alone. Did he teach you the later techniques of Changchun Gong?"

Han Li did not answer immediately after hearing this, but secretly dragged Lin Bei to a secluded place in Shenshou Valley, and then whispered to Lin Bei:
"Lin Bei, I feel like something is wrong. I just told Master Mo that I have mastered the first level of the technique. After checking me and confirming it, Master Mo did teach me the rest of the technique.

But the way Mr. Mo looks at me now makes me feel very strange. That look makes me shudder. Do you think this is my illusion?"
