The Battle Through Heaven
Learn to Fix Medicines
Xiao Yan left the meeting room and returned to his room to make the final preparations to refine some healing medicine. After he finished with his preparations, he quietly slipped back into his silent cave, which he had previously trained.
As Yao Lao had said before, it was important not to be disturbed during the process of refining medicine, and given the large number of clan members, this would be difficult to achieve at home. If by chance something, like Xiao Yu offering it, were to happen, Xiao Yan would not be able to fully bear the consequences.
By quietly stepping into the cave, Xiao Yan was already itching to begin, so he quickly took out the Storage Ring from his chest and pushed a stream of Dou Qi into it. The pink ring emitted a flicker of light in front of the roughly half-meter-long red medicinal cauldron that was inside the cave.
The entire medicinal cauldron was a deep red that was red and gave off a slight glow. There were two evil-looking snake heads carved under the cauldron, its gaping jaws forming two holes connected so that air could enter the cauldron. As the two holes perforated and extended into the cauldron, the diameter got smaller and smaller. If one tried to look, they would barely be able to see anything.
At the peak of the medicinal cauldron there was a dark red cauldron lid forged in the form of a giant snake. In addition to the lid, there are also special holes for inserting materials.
The top of the cauldron lid was scattered with many fine holes made by Ice Silver. It has the effect of dissipating heat to prevent excessive heat from forming, which can lead to explosions. On one side a transparent Ice Essence screen was installed in the middle of the medicinal cauldron so that the entire refining process could be clearly seen by the alchemist.
The surface of the cauldron was carved with wild forms.The wild demon beast that seemed to have almost jumped off the cauldron.
Observing the exquisite appearance of the medicinal cauldron, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction. Xiao Yan rubbed the ancient black ring, and Yao Lao appeared with a flash of light.
“En, it is a cauldron with two outlets. For an alchemist amateur like you, it is not bad at all, “ Yao Lao said indifferently as he glanced at the snake hole in the crimson red medicinal cauldron.
” A cauldron with two outlets ? “Hearing an unfamiliar term, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered as he looked on hesitantly.
” The medicinal cauldron also has their own tiers. The more outlets for the fire had a cauldron furnace, the higher the level of the medicinal cauldron and the rarer it was. Don't assume that one can randomly create multiple holes to add multiple other outlets. Outsiders did not even have a clue about the mysteries of this stall. The outlet was the essence of the medicinal cauldron, and required extreme precision to refine it. If one were made with the slightest mistake, the entire medicinal cauldron would be considered trash. Thus, the more outlets a medicinal cauldron possessed, the better its additional effects would be for an alchemist while refining. Of course, if you want to control multiple outlets, you need a very high soul perception. For your current self, controlling two fire outlets is already the limit. Yao Lao laughed as he explained.
“For an Alchemist, the importance of a good Cauldron Medicine is similar to a good sword for a soldier.”
Giving an almost invisible nod, Xiao Yan stared at the large cauldron in front of him and asked a little blankly: “Now what should I do?”
“For now it would be better if you familiarize yourself with the medicinal cauldron. Press one hand against the outlet, then awaken the Dou Qi inside you and channel it inside. “Yao Lao sat cross-legged inside the cave as he directed Xiao Yan.
Nodding, Xiao Yan placed a hand at the outlet and slowly closed his eyes. Within his body, the rotating, faint and yellowish Qi rippled slightly. Dimming, the yellow Dou Qi bubbled by the strands, consequently making his palm glow with a yellow light.
As soon as it dimmed, a yellow Dou Qi reached his palm, it grew silent. Then, as if it was experiencing a sudden and violent gravitational pull, it suddenly flowed out of his hand and into the outlet, drilling into the medicinal cauldron.
“Pu ¦¦”
< There was a muffling sound, then after it dimmed, the yellow Qi had been moved through the fire outlet and suddenly turned into a dim yellow fire essence. Inside the medicinal cauldron, it flickered and flared.
The fact that his palm suddenly spewed out flames, frightened Xiao Yan and almost made him reflexively pull his hand. However, after sensing that his palm was cold, he became a little panicked.
En, not bad. On your first try, you've already managed to generate a flame. “
Observing the blazing flame within the medicinal cauldron, Yao Lao nodded and said in a low voice:” The flame you have gathered together this time is actually not a purifying flame. Right now you should concentrate on controlling the traces of Wood Elements within your body and pouring them into the medicinal cauldron!
After more than ten minutes, Xiao Yan finally found the Wood Element in his body for the first time. He breathed a sigh of relief when he opened his eyes.
“Find him?” Seeing Xiao Yan open his eyes, Yao Lao asked, astonished. As the former nodded his head, Yao Lao could not help but inwardly praise Xiao Yan. When Yao Lao first discovered the wood element in his body, it took him almost half an hour. From this it could be seen how powerful Xiao Yan's spiritual perception was.
Xiao Yan stretched out a finger to press slightly on the other fire outlet. Little by little, an extremely weak stream of green Qi flowed in.
Just as the green Qi entered the medicinal cauldron, the light yellow flames inside suddenly calmed down, as if there was a chemical reaction. At this moment, even though Xiao Yan had not been able to control the flame, he could feel that the crispness in the flame had been tamed by the wood element. Furthermore, due to the principle that wood gives birth to fire, the flame at this time is much more controlled and will last longer than before.
“Good ¦¦” Satisfied, Yao Lao nodded as he reached out a finger to touch Xiao Yan's forehead, transferring the information directly to Xiao Yan's head.
This is my own healing medicine formula, you can use it for exercise. I'll guide you through as I warn you about the temperature of the flame and the composition of the medical ingredients to be perfected. “
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes as he processed the new information in his head while slightly tilting his head.
“Blood Freezing Powder: one stalk Blood Freezing Grass, one Fruits Vibrant, two Poppy Flowers ¦¦”
After Xiao Yan committed to recalling the amount of each required alchemy ingredient, his spiritual perception slowly flowed into the medicinal cauldron as he diligently tried to control the light flames.
Making a flicking motion with his finger on top of the ring, a dark red stalk of Blood Freezing Grass appeared on his palm. A moment later, Xiao Yan threw the stalk into the mouth of the snake engraved on the cauldron peak.
As soon as the Blood Freezing Grass was thrown, Xiao Yan did not control the flame in time. The flames only flared upwards and in the blink of an eye, the Blood Clotting Grass rods turned into piles of ash and the cauldron's unique mechanism took them out of the cauldron.
Seeing this first failure, Xiao Yan laughed with a hint of embarrassment.
“Continue.” Yao Lao said nonchalantly.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Xiao Yan once again threw the stalk of Blood Clotting Grass . This time, the Blood Clump Grass lingered in the fire for a while but as before, it turned into a pile of ashes.
“The temperature is too high.”
Xiao Yan wiped his sweat. Now that he had personally tried to refine the pill, Xiao Yan finally realized that this type of work, as expected, could not be easily done by just anyone.
After continuously burning about twenty stalks. Blood Freezing Grass, with a slight difficulty, Xiao Yan finally understood the most suitable temperature for the Blood Freezing Grass.
Once again throwing in the stem of the Blood Freezing Grass, Xiao Yan's expression grew solemn as his spiritual. Perception firmly suppressed the flame temperature. His eyes passed through the Ice Essence and were fixated on the stem of the Blood Blob Grass hanging within the flame.
The flames lit up for quite some time and the Blood Clump Grass finally began to shed its layer of skin and the juice accumulated within its leaves gradually began to evaporate into faint white powder spots. The Blood Freezing Grass Essence had finally been successfully refined by this traitor, Xiao Yan.
