Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 84 Alchemy
"So-called alchemy involves using intense fire to extract the essence of hundreds of herbs, then using the principle of the five elements to dissolve them into a single pill. Therefore, the alchemist needs to master a wealth of herbal knowledge and understand the properties of different herbs so that they can be combined..."

Xie Tianyun explained the so-called alchemy in a simple and profound way. While listening, Zhong Lin kept comparing the shortcomings of his previous cracking of the blood-replenishing pill, and then reflected on the blood-replenishing pill recipe he had just obtained.

A sense of enlightenment arose in my heart.

Previously in Heishan County, Zhong Lin had already deduced the ingredients of the blood-replenishing pill with his constantly improving medical skills. The reason why he had not been able to successfully refine it was because he lacked the most important step.

order.

That’s right, the order.

Alchemy is not about boiling medicine. It is not about throwing all the herbs into the pot and boiling them over high heat. Instead, it has different orders of adding them.

Only through the mutual promotion and restraint of different medicinal materials and the mutual integration of the medicinal properties of different herbs can the required elixir be finally refined.

Zhong Lin touched his chin and thought to himself, "No wonder I figured out the ingredients of the Blood Replenishing Pill, but ended up producing a bunch of black dregs. So this is the key."

Seeing Zhong Lin thinking, Xie Tianyun also stopped teaching.

"Sir, do you understand what I said?"

"I understand now. Master Xie, can you show me some alchemy techniques?"

"Okay, then I'll refine a batch of blood-replenishing pills." Xie Tianyun nodded.

Xie Tianyun asked his apprentice to bring a batch of medicinal materials for the blood-replenishing pill, and then sat in front of the pill furnace.

Clean the alchemy furnace, light the fire, and put in the herbs.

Everything was in order, as if it had been experienced thousands of times, and the whole process was filled with Xie Tianyun's own unique rhythm.

Xie Tianyun noticed every change in the alchemy furnace, which was within his expectations to be more precise.

"Young Master, there are only a few herbs used to refine blood-tonifying pills, so the medicinal properties don't vary much. If you master these changes, you will master the results of each furnace."

While adding medicinal materials, he explained to Zhong Lin and gave him a few tips on refining the blood-replenishing pill.

After half an hour, as the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, a hint of medicinal fragrance drifted into the alchemy room.

Xie Tianyun also showed a complacent smile on his face. He had refined countless blood-replenishing pills and rarely made mistakes. Just by the fragrance of the pill, he knew that the pill he made this time was definitely not a bad one.

The apprentice serving on the side consciously took out the elixir from the furnace. Zhong Lin couldn't help but take a step forward and look.

There were a total of six blood-replenishing pills, which were exactly the same as the blood-replenishing pills that Zhong Lin had bought in the black market in Heishan County before. They were even rounder and had a stronger medicinal aroma.

Zhong Lin gave a thumbs-up without hesitation: "Thank you, Master Dan, for your wonderful hands."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, sir. It's just a first-grade elixir."

Xie Tianyun also had a smile on his face, stroking his beard and laughing.

"Can I try it?"

"This... is certainly possible. Huanyue, go get three more ingredients for the Blood Replenishing Pills."

"Yes."

Zhong Lin came to the alchemy furnace with great interest, and after his apprentice cleaned out the impurities in the furnace, he began his first attempt at alchemy.

Under the guidance of Xie Tianyun, Zhong Lin added medicinal materials into the furnace in different orders and at different times. His movements were a bit clumsy and his techniques were extremely unfamiliar.

There were even a few steps that went wrong due to issues with adding time.

After half an hour, accompanied by a muffled sound, the furnace did not emit the fragrance of the elixir, but instead emitted a puff of black smoke.

Xie Tianyun quickly said, "It's easy to fail when refining an elixir for the first time. Don't worry, just practice a few more times and it will be fine."

Instead of feeling depressed because of his failure in refining the elixir, Zhong Lin smiled.

A pair of eyes had already been watching the empty panel, and new changes had appeared on the panel. Host: Zhong Lin

Method: Tianyuan Treasure Post (max level), Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Skill (max level)...

Technique: Thousand Mist Sword Technique (max level)...

Miscellaneous: Alchemy: Blood-Replenishing Pill (Elementary)...

Skill Points: ∞
"I knew it, system, give me some more."

At a command, endless skill points poured into it, and the blood-replenishing pill column directly became the maximum level. At the same time, a huge stream of information poured into his mind.

In just a moment, Zhong Lin felt as if he had been refining the blood-replenishing pill for decades, and his mind was full of insights about the blood-replenishing pill.

"Again."

"Uh... ok."

Xie Tianyun quickly ordered his apprentice to clean the furnace, and at the same time he was mentally prepared on how to comfort her.

As the first batch of herbs were placed into the alchemy furnace, Xie Tianyun suddenly discovered that Zhong Lin's aura had changed. He was no longer as cautious as before, but instead was at ease. Each step was filled with a special rhythm, and a master-like demeanor emerged from his every gesture, which he had only seen in the hall master Yin Daoyan.

"This...this is wrong!"

For a moment, Xie Tianyun even forgot to give any instructions.

As time passed, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out of the alchemy furnace. Half an hour later, as the lid of the furnace was opened, an even stronger medicinal fragrance floated in the alchemy room.

Xie Tianyun hurried forward and took a look. He saw ten blood-replenishing pills lying quietly in the furnace. Each one was round and full, and had strong medicinal effect.

Xie Tianyun shook his right hand, and several strands of his beard were pulled out. He didn't feel any pain, and his heart was full of disbelief.

"Ten, there are actually ten, and each one is top-grade. How... how is this possible?"

Xie Tianyun looked up and looked at Zhong Yun seriously. The first thought that came to his mind was that Zhong Lin was playing him.

But this idea was immediately rejected.

I am just a second-grade alchemist in the Danding Garden of Baicaotang, while this person is the hall master's direct disciple. I am not qualified to be bullied by him.

So, this hall master's direct disciple really has a strong talent for alchemy?
But this is a bit too strong!

After learning for a while and failing once, he was able to refine ten blood-replenishing pills the second time, and each one was of top quality.

You have to know that I have been refining medicine for thirty years, and such excellent situations have occurred less than once.

"Master... Young Master, can you make another furnace of blood-replenishing pills?"

Xie Tianyun said while suppressing his inner shock.

"Okay, let's do it again."

Zhong Lin was also very interested at this time, and even if Xie Tianyun didn't say it, he wanted to do it again.

The blood-replenishing pills were served out and the apprentices cleaned the furnace.

Light a fire and add herbs...

Half an hour later, another furnace of ten blood-replenishing pills appeared, each of which was top-grade.

Xie Tianyun took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Zhong Lin.

"Young Master, you are truly talented. Today, I finally understand that there are always people better than you, and what a true genius is."

The apprentice who had been doing odd jobs nearby was looking at Zhong Lin as if he were a god. No wonder he could become the hall master's personal disciple. Compared with the young master, he was as stupid as a pig.
