A few days later, the alchemy furnace that Liu Dong had ordered was completed.

In the world of martial arts, weapon manufacturing is naturally highly developed, and materials are abundant.

Liu Dong compared the differences in materials between the cultivation world and the martial arts world, selected several materials, and asked the blacksmith to forge a pill furnace for him.

Making a furnace that has no offensive capabilities is not difficult, so it is very cheap.

Of course, this alchemy furnace is only a semi-finished product.

Once home, Liu Dong would further refine the process, carving formations inside and outside the alchemy furnace.

Once finished, Liu Tong waved his hand, and the furnace, which was as tall as a person, shrank to the size of a fist and fell into Liu Tong's palm.

Liu Hui's jaw nearly dropped.

This is truly amazing.

There is no magic in this world that can make weapons or things bigger or smaller.

Liu Tong smiled at him and said, "If you're interested, I can teach you."

Liu Hui nodded vigorously.

The two went out and bought a large amount of medicinal herbs, and then went out of the city to collect herbs themselves.

The main items are medicinal herbs, which are not classified as medicinal herbs in this world and are only considered weeds. Therefore, they are not sold in pharmacies and the two of them need to pick them themselves.

Fortunately, although those medicinal herbs were not common, they were considered "weeds" and no one wanted them, so there were quite a few of them.

Having gathered all the medicinal herbs, Liu Dong began refining the elixir.

Liu Hui assisted him from the sidelines, learning along the way.

As Liu Tong worked, he pointed out the secrets of Liu Hui's alchemy.

Liu Hui had a very good memory and remembered everything Liu Tong had said.

Having not refined pills for a long time, Liu Dong was initially a bit rusty and ruined two batches of pills.

Even discarded pills still have some effects.

Liu packed it up, intending to exchange it for money later.

The third batch of pills was a great success. In this batch, Liu Dong produced six pills, one of which was of the highest grade and the rest were of the highest grade.

Liu Tong handed the top-grade pill to Liu Hui: "Eat it."

Liu Hui did as instructed without hesitation, and after taking the pill, he immediately went to the side to meditate.

Liu Tong released his divine sense to observe the condition inside Liu Hui's body.

Limited by his current cultivation level and the differences in raw materials in this world, he can only refine low-grade Qingyun Pills and cannot refine high-grade Qingyun Pills that can cure all poisons with a single pill.

Therefore, even the finest Qingyun Pill could not remove all the toxins from Liu Hui's dantian.

But since this is a pill from the cultivation world, it still has some effect.

Most of the gray mist in Liu Hui's dantian disappeared.

Liu Hui opened his eyes and said with delight, "It works! I can feel the existence of my dantian now."

Liu Tong smiled and said, "That's good. Take one of the other five pills a day. Once you've finished them all, the poison in your dantian will be completely expelled."

Liu Hui happily agreed.

Liu Dong turned the furnace back on and continued to throw in the medicinal herbs.

Liu Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help and asked, "Do you still need to refine pills?"

Liu Tong: "Your meridians have been damaged by the stimulation of the Jade Blood Pool water. I will refine some more pills to nourish your meridians and dantian."

Liu Hui was deeply moved: "Ah Qiu..."

Liu Tong: "Don't say thank you, I'm your brother."

Liu Hui laughed: "I won't say it. I just want to say that now that I can use my true energy, can I start refining pills?"

Liu Tong: "Sure. Once I've finished refining this batch of Ziyang Pills, you can start making them."

Because the harvest was ripe, the refining of the Purple Sun Pill went very smoothly, yielding three top-grade pills. After Liu Hui took one, his injured meridians were completely restored.

He began refining elixirs with great enthusiasm.

Although he had mastered the secrets of alchemy, putting it into practice was not so easy.

After failing to refine more than a dozen batches of pills, Liu Hui finally succeeded in refining one batch of pills, all of which were of low or medium grade.

They wanted to refine the elixir again, but there were no more medicinal herbs left.

The two had no choice but to go to the pharmacy to buy more herbs to gather outside the city, and then return to continue refining pills.

Liu Dong then went to the blacksmith shop to order another alchemy furnace.

After spending money on medicine, the two of them didn't have much money left.

Neither of them were ruthless; they took money with them when they left the Liu residence.

However, there isn't much cash on hand.

As for those jewels, they dared not sell them in the capital for fear that the Liu family would keep a record of them.

The two faced a situation where they didn't have enough money.

Liu Tong asked Liu Hui, "Are you familiar with the black market and auction houses in the capital?"

Liu Hui: "There is no black market in the capital, only auction houses, which are run by the royal family."

Liu Tong packed all the waste pills she had refined, along with all the pills refined by Liu Hui, into a small package. Led by Liu Hui, the two headed to the auction house.

Both men were wearing makeup, and the auction house staff couldn't recognize one of them as the former leader of the Four Young Masters of Beijing, so they only sent an ordinary waiter to serve them.

Liu Dong took out a low-grade Qingyun Pill and said, "This medicine can neutralize many kinds of poisons. If it is a common and potent poison like arsenic, one pill can neutralize it completely. If it is a more complex poison, taking a few pills can also neutralize it."

When the shop assistant heard that the pills were so effective, he knew that he couldn't make the decision on this business himself, so he invited the two into a reception room and went to fetch a manager.

Upon seeing the pills, the steward asked, "Are you two young masters also alchemists?"

Liu Dong's eyes flickered.

Alchemist?
He had read all the books in the Liu family's collection, but none of them mentioned alchemists.

How did the manager know who the alchemist was?

Liu Tong pretended not to understand and asked, "What is an alchemist?"

The steward was surprised: "Since you two are not alchemists, how do you have so many pills?"

Liu Dong said, "Ah, we found these at an archaeological site. My brother was poisoned, and after taking one of these pills, he was completely cured. We knew these pills were valuable, so we brought them to sell for money."

The steward said, "I see. So, besides that alchemist, there were other alchemists in Shanghai in this world."

Liu Dong asked curiously, "Who is this alchemist you're talking about?"

The manager, however, said warily, "This is not a question you should be asking."

After a pause, the manager said, "Young masters, our auction house will buy all these pills. The price..."

The manager gave Liu Dong and Liu Hui a price that satisfied them.

It must have been the "alchemist" mentioned by the manager that made the auction house realize the power of the pills, which is why they offered such a high price.

The two left the auction house and headed towards the most crowded area.

Using the crowd, they shook off the auction house staff who were following them.

Back at their temporary lodgings, Liu Tong asked Liu Hui, "What do you think?"

Liu Hui understood what Liu Tong really wanted to ask: "That alchemist is very likely the mysterious person who poisoned me."

After all, there has never been a poison in this world that can destroy a person's dantian.

If neither the pharmacist nor the doctor knew, then it is very likely related to the alchemist.

It might be a poisonous pill! (End of Chapter)
