Asura Continent

Chen Xiaowan cast a spell at the Cauldron, and the Cauldron floated in the air under the control of her spiritual sense. Once again, she ignited the fire spirit stone, floating it beneath the cauldron and slowly burning it, causing the temperature inside the cauldron to continuously rise. After finishing all of this, she looked at Lu Yang and asked, "You've refined pills before, but not pills, right?"

Although Lu Yang knew how to refine pills, he had never tried. He shook his head and said, "No."

Chen Xiaowei glanced at the Cauldron, and slowly said, "Refining pills and refining pills look the same, but there is actually a huge difference. Let me first talk about the steps to refining pills!" "As long as you master these steps and possess the medicinal formula, as long as you study diligently, within three years, you will be able to forge a grade-1 pill and become a grade-1 apothecary."

"The pill refining technique, also known as the external pill refining technique, is divided into nine stages."

Forging, heating at high temperature for a long time; refining, using spiritual energy fire to heat; melting, distilling medicinal herbs to make medicinal juice; drawing, distilling; flying, sublimating; V, heating to condense medicinal substances; shape, solidifying into a circle by the size of a thumb; roasting, roasting at high temperature; storing in white jade bottles and other utensils.

After Chen Xiaowan finished telling these nine steps, she saw that Lu Yang didn't take it to heart, so she said with some displeasure, "You don't seem to care about these steps?"

Lu Yang let out a bitter laugh and didn't hide anything as he said, "Back then in the Six Paths of the Heaven and Earth, Senior Brother Qin Xiong gave me a Hidden Pill to swallow. That's why my cultivation is only at the fourth level of the Refinement Stage, and my senses are all below the third level of the Core Formation Stage. At that time, he gave me a Cauldron as well as a book on pill refining. These nine steps are also recorded in the book. "

Chen Xiaowan nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is!" Since you know these nine steps, then I will immediately refine a Spiritual Energy Pill. "You better watch carefully. Understanding the art of pill forging is different from refining pills. If you only know from theory and without practice, you won't be able to refine pills either."

With that, she took a deep breath and felt the temperature of the cauldron with her divine sense. When she noticed that the temperature of the cauldron had reached about 100 degrees, she quickly picked up the herbs and put them into the cauldron. Chen Wan'er then cast a few more spells on the cauldron. The temperature of the cauldron became higher and higher, and soon after, it was covered.

If one paid close attention to this moment, one would be able to hear the boiling sounds coming from within the cauldron.

After about an hour, Chen Xiaowang said to Lu Yang, "Now that the medicinal materials have been refined into liquid medicine, the next steps are distillation and sublimation. These two steps are relatively simple." She quickly explained the method to operate it to Lu Yang and immediately began to condense the pellets. When the pellets became prototype ones under the control of her Spiritual Sense, they quickly began to roast.

Just like this, an hour later, the 10 pills were fully formed. Chen Xiaowan then cast a spell on the cauldron. A flash of light and the lid was opened, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air. Lu Yang couldn't help but sniff a few more times and was surprised to find that there was actually a bit more spirit energy in his body.

Seeing Lu Yang's surprised expression, Chen Wan'er smiled and said, "The elixir that has just come out of the furnace emits a rich medicinal fragrance, and this medicinal fragrance is a good thing. The better the elixir refined, the greater the benefit to the cultivator. "Of course, only pills that can raise one's cultivation are of such use. If it's a poison pill, you might die on the spot if you smell it too much."

Lu Yang smiled. Even if Chen Xiaowan hadn't said it, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to smell the poison pill's medicinal aroma.

Chen Wan'er raised her right hand and sent out a few more incantations. Ten medicinal pills floated in the air. She waved her hand and the medicinal pills, under her control, arrived in front of her. Chen Xiaowan patted the storage bag at her waist and took out a white jade bottle. She placed the pill on top of it and then handed it over to Lu Yang, "How is it? My method of refining the pill isn't bad, right?"

Under normal circumstances, a pot of medicinal herbs could successfully refine ten pills, but it wasn't an easy task to refine them all.

Lu Yang also didn't expect that even after all the concocting was done, not a single one of the ten elixirs failed.

"Not bad, you're skilled. Can I forge it once?" Seeing that it wasn't as difficult as he thought, Lu Yang wanted to give it a try.

Chen Xiaowei nodded, thinking of something fun. She smiled and said, "Sure, but you have too much hope. When I first made the pills, not a single one was successful. I even almost blew up the furnace."

Lu Yang also took in a deep breath of cool air, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He hesitated for a moment, but instead of using Chen Xiaowan's Cauldron, he took out the Six-Colored Cauldron that Qin Xiong gave him. Lu Yang executed a spell on the Six Paths Cauldron. With a flash of light, a faint light appeared on the cauldron. Without having any control over it, it began to spin of its own accord.

Chen Xiaowan was surprised, "Magic treasure? It's actually a magic treasure!"

"Magic treasure?" Lu Yang was puzzled, "Isn't this a cauldron? Could it be that the Cauldron can be refined into a Magic Treasure as well? "

Chen Xiaowan was very familiar with the situation of the Cauldron, so she replied, "Cauldron is a type of magical equipment, of course you can refine it into a magical equipment. But of all magic treasures, the Cauldron was the most difficult to forge and had the least offensive power. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't choose to refine it. However, only alchemists who are obsessed with pill refining would do so. Furthermore, they would refine their Cauldron into a very strong one. "

Chen Xiaowan carefully examined the Cauldron for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "This cauldron is no trivial matter, it's actually a Grade Three Cauldron."

"Grade three medicinal cauldron?" Lu Yang hurriedly asked, "There are levels to a Cauldron just like elixirs?"

Chen Xiaowan did not immediately answer, but instead pointed to the patterns on the cauldron, "Look, there are three lines on that side, meaning that it is a Grade Three Cauldron. This point was exactly the same as that of medicinal pills. The several lines on the cauldron proved their quality. The higher the level of the Cauldron, the easier it is to refine pills. On the other hand, it is much more difficult. "

"To put it simply, if you want to refine a Tier 2 pill but you only have a Tier 1 cauldron, then the success rate is very low, less than half. Unless you have a very high level of cultivation and are skilled in pill concocting, the possibility of the furnace explosion will be very high. " Chen Xiaowan slowly said, "If you have a second-grade medicine cauldron, to refine a first-grade medicine, the success rate is more than sixty percent."

In the following time, Chen Wan Wan'er explained the importance of the Cauldron to Lu Yang and said with a hint of envy, "I finally got a Grade Two Cauldron from father with great difficulty. I had originally wanted to give this to you. Who would have thought! "You're so lucky to actually be able to get a Grade Three Cauldron. Don't you know how precious a Grade Three Cauldron is? Our Chen family only has three."

Lu Yang glanced at Chen Xiaowan's Cauldron; there were indeed only two circles on the bottom, and said, "If you want, I'll give this Cauldron to you."

She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, giving it to me is useless. I am only a Qi Cultivation stage cultivator, so I can only refine Tier 1 pills. Even if you give me the Six-Colored Cauldron, I will not be able to refine a Tier 2 pill. Take this! "If there's a day when I can refine a grade three medicinal pill, it wouldn't be too late to ask you."

Chen Wan'er thought of something and quickly said, "Hurry up and refine the Spiritual Energy Pill! "With a grade-3 Cauldron, as long as I put in some effort, I should be able to successfully forge it within a year..." She also conservatively estimated that pill refining required talent. If one's talent wasn't good, it was unlikely that they would be able to refine a grade-1 pill even after ten years.

Lu Yang nodded his head. He too wanted to know if he was really made for refining pills. Following Chen Xiaowan's example, he made a few hand seals at the cauldron and ignited a fire spirit stone. When the temperature of the medicine cauldron had been raised to be able to melt medicinal herbs, Lu Yang quickly placed the herbs inside. The speed at which he placed the herbs inside was very slow because it was very particular about putting them down.

After placing the medicinal ingredients inside, Lu Yang carefully controlled the medicinal cauldron. After the medicinal juice was refined, he became a little nervous. This was because condensing a pill was the most difficult step. This was also a test of an apothecary's ability to control their spiritual sense. Simply put, it was a test of one's fundamentals. The first time Lu Yang tried it, he was only trying it out and concentrating hard.

After an unknown period of time, Lu Yang's forehead was covered in sweat as ten pills took shape.

Having completed the hardest step of the refinement, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and began to roast the pills. As long as the pills were shaped by the baking, this batch of pills would be considered a success. An hour later, Lu Yang had completed the final step. He executed a spell on the cauldron, and when the cauldron opened up, a fragrance even stronger than before emanated outwards.

She did not think that Lu Yang could successfully refine the pill. When Lu Yang opened the cauldron and she saw his nervous appearance, she hurriedly tried to persuade him: "It's alright, the first time we tried to refine the pill was impossible. Even those geniuses would not be able to become powerful alchemists without many tries."

However, just as she finished speaking, Chen Xiaowan smelled the rich fragrance of the medicine and instantly opened her eyes wide.

The next moment, she saw ten pills fly out of the cauldron, each of them incomparably round. Chen Xiaowan was dumbstruck, and the way she looked at Lu Yang was as if she was looking at a monster. Only when Lu Yang placed the pill inside the white jade bottle did Chen Xiaowan recover from her shock. She exclaimed, "Lu Yang, you really haven't learned how to refine pills before?"

"No, I've only refined pills." Lu Yang said honestly.

"What the hell, you're a genius!" A look of excitement flashed in Chen Xiaowan's eyes, she shook her head, "No, even geniuses can't compare with you. Are you really a genius among geniuses?"

"Genius?" Lu Yang thought about buying the talisman and trying to make it, but to no avail. He smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of genius am I? I haven't even made a single talisman."

However, Chen Wan'er didn't think so. "No, that's not the same. Not knowing how to make talismans doesn't mean that a person isn't a genius. From the pill refining process just now, it's clear that you have amazing talent." "I believe that as long as you continue to refine the pill, you will become a powerful alchemist in a few years time."

Lu Yang had never thought of spending so much on alchemy. He had to raise his cultivation in order to avenge the Liu He Sect's people.

Now that Qin Xiong and the rest had left the Nine Mystical Sect and were safe, who could guarantee that the Nine Mystical Sect wouldn't act against them in the future?

Only by becoming stronger would he be able to take revenge and protect the people he loved more.

As if she knew what he was thinking, she said, "Lu Yang, listen to me. If you become a strong alchemist, you can also avenge the Liu He Sect."
