Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 418 Preparations before the Retreat
Han Xin counted on her fingers and found that today was the fourth day since she entered the space. This was because Shi Yan had placed a time formation in the room while she was sleeping.

Han Xin got out of bed, left a message on Shi Yan's voice transmission stone saying that she was going to make an elixir, and then left the room.

Before she reached the alchemy room, Xiao Ting came over.

"Master, are you okay?" Xiao Ting asked worriedly.

Han Xin was puzzled. "I'm fine. Why are you asking?"

"I'm glad you're okay. I'm fine too. I just came to see you."

This time, the master had been in the space for less than four days, but Shi Yan had locked him in the bathtub for three days and three nights. It was a little worried that the master couldn't bear it.

"Xiao Ting, next time I come into the space, you don't have to come over and greet me in person every time. If I need anything, I will call you."

Every time I come in, Xiao Ting will fly to me and greet me first. It happens every time. Han Xin feels tired for Xiao Ting. There is actually no need to do this.

"Master, are you annoyed that I disturb you?" The little dragonfly suddenly felt a little sad. It just wanted its master to see itself first when he entered the space, so that he would not forget it.

"No, I just think it's unnecessary to do this every time. I just know in my heart that you respect my heart."

"Well, I'll listen to you, Master. Where are you going now?"

Since the owner has said so, Xiaoting must do as he is told and must not let the owner think that he is annoying.

"I plan to refine a batch of pills first to prepare for my upcoming retreat." There is nothing hidden from saying this.

Xiaoting was delighted when he heard this, "Master, what kind of elixir do you want to make? I'll go to the warehouse to get you the herbs."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Xiao Ting." Han Xin said, pressing her index finger on Xiao Ting's forehead to transfer the herbs she needed.

After the information was transmitted, he said, "I will go to the alchemy room to make some preparations first. Please help me deliver the herbs to the alchemy room later."

"Good host."

Han Xin entered the alchemy room and saw that there was a thin layer of dust in the room because she had not used it for a long time. She was puzzled that there was dust in the space.

She used the cleaning technique to clean the alchemy furnace and the room three times until there was no trace of dust. Only then was she satisfied.

Thinking that it would take some time for Xiao Ting to prepare those pills, she would refine other pills first.

So Han Xin took out a pile of jade boxes from the storage ring, opened the jade boxes, and took out the elixirs that would be needed to refine the pills later.

A dozen medicinal herbs were placed beside Han Xin, and in front of her was the alchemy furnace that she had just cleaned.

He released Goudan's innate flame to preheat the alchemy furnace first, and then according to the steps of alchemy, he threw the elixirs into the furnace one by one to decompose the liquid medicine. The remaining herbs were crushed into powder, and then a drop of marrow liquid was added to increase the quality of the medicine. The liquid medicine, powder and marrow liquid were mixed and stirred evenly, and then divided into eighteen equal portions. Finally, he controlled the temperature, observed the situation in the furnace with his spiritual consciousness, and waited for the medicine to be made.

Because her proficiency has improved, Han Xin now refines pills with at least two portions of medicinal materials at a time. This saves time and the success rate is the same as before, 90%. Why is it divided into 18 portions? That's because her spiritual power only allows her to have a 90% success rate. If she divides it into 20 portions, the final success rate will only be 18 pills, and the remaining two portions will turn into ashes and sink to the bottom of the pill furnace.

In that case, she might as well just divide it into eighteen portions so that the medicinal materials won't be wasted.

There is only one thing, that is, the pills she refined are larger than those refined by others. Naturally, with more medicine, the effect is better.

The weight of the two pills was divided into eighteen pills. Although the pills were larger, it was not very obvious and could not be seen without careful observation. So far, no one had discovered that the pills she refined were different from others, including Shi Yan.

Of course, the efficacy of the medicine cannot be hidden from anyone.

Han Xin's highest refining record was refining five portions at the same time, with a success rate of 70%.

If the number is increased, the success rate will be less than 70%, and there are also low-grade pills, and the number is quite large. The number of high-grade pills has been affected. She cannot accept such an achievement.

After that, no matter how she improved or practiced, she could not make any progress. This made Han Xin realize that she had reached her limit.

From then on, whenever Han Xin refined pills, she would never make more than five batches in each furnace. The most common method was to refine two batches in one furnace, because this would not affect the quality of the pills at all, and the quantity was no different from one batch per furnace.

Moreover, if Han Xin refined more than three portions of medicinal materials, there would be residue from the scrapped pills at the bottom of the furnace; with two portions, there would be no waste. She didn't know how she did this, and she was sure that no one else could do it.

While Han Xin was refining the elixir, Xiao Ting gathered all the herbs her master needed and brought them to the alchemy room. Because her master was concentrating on refining the elixir, Xiao Ting did not dare to make a sound and disturb her master, so she sat at the door of the alchemy room waiting for her master to finish refining the elixir.

In the past, the owner would always close the door when refining pills, but this time it was wide open. This must be because the owner left the door open on purpose.

Is the owner worried about locking it outside?

Since the owner can consider it, it naturally has to consider the owner as well. Goudan is a rather reckless guy, so it will stay and guard the door for the owner.

It took two and a half hours to refine a batch of pills, and Xiao Ting stood guard at the door for two and a half hours.

In fact, Han Xin had known it was coming, and she also knew that Xiao Ting was guarding the door, but she had to concentrate on refining the elixir, fearing that if she was distracted, the elixir would be ruined, so she just followed Xiao Ting.

After Han Xin put out the fire, she immediately stood up and walked to the door.

Xiao Ting was originally sitting in the middle position outside the door with his back to the door. When he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the alchemy room, he immediately stood up and flew into the air.

He asked excitedly: "Master, have you finished refining the elixir?"

Han Xin nodded, "I have refined one batch. Our retreat may take quite a while. Do you need me to refine a few batches of Spirit Beast Pills for you?"

It seemed that since she learned how to make elixirs, she had never made beast spirit pills for Xiaoting and Goudan to eat. But she knew that monsters liked to eat beast spirit pills very much.

Goudan did not ask her to help refine the Beast Soul Pill. That was because the monks who wanted to rob her and Shi Yan in the past had Beast Soul Pills in their storage equipment. There were quite a lot of them. Goudan saw them by chance and asked Han Xin to take them all away. It was at that time that Han Xin realized that monsters liked to eat Beast Soul Pills.
