Douluo: Yu Hao is reborn, this Tang San is different

Chapter 45: Refining medicine? Aphrodisiac?
A few days later.

The light in the cave was dim, with only a few swaying torches emitting faint light, which was reflected on Huo Yuhao's slightly immature but determined face.

In front of him was an ancient medicine cauldron, the surface of which was engraved with mysterious patterns and flickered with a strange luster under the firelight. Various medicinal herbs were neatly arranged on the ground around it. These were all collected by him recently after going through hardships.

The entire medicine cauldron is black-brown with a slight glow on it. At the bottom of the cauldron, there are two ferocious snake heads carved with wide-open mouths, forming two fire-passing holes connected to each other. The holes are curved and continuous, and the diameter becomes smaller the deeper you go inside.

"Teacher once said that when refining medicine, one must not be disturbed."

A low muttering came from Huo Yuhao's mouth, and then he closed his eyes tightly and slowly circulated the mental power in his body.

As his mental power was mobilized, an invisible force spread from his mind, like an invisible net, spreading out of the cave.

Wherever this mental power reaches, everything around him seems to be seen clearly by him. The crawling of insects in the grass and the trembling of leaves in the breeze can all be fed back into his consciousness through mental power.

He carefully scanned every corner outside the cave, not missing any abnormality. After confirming that there was no trace of any soul beast, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Looking at the gorgeous medicine cauldron, Huo Yuhao nodded with satisfaction, then touched the ancient black ring on his finger. Suddenly, Xiao Yan turned into a ray of light and flashed out.

"Yuhao, the two cauldrons I prepared for you in advance are pretty good for a novice alchemist like you." Glancing at the black-brown cauldron in front of him, Xiao Yan touched his nose and said lightly.

"Teacher, what does the two cauldrons mean?" Hearing this, Huo Yuhao blinked in confusion, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked.

"Yuhao, in the Douqi Continent, medicine cauldrons are also divided into different levels. The more fire ports a medicine cauldron has, the higher the level of the medicine cauldron. The more fire ports a medicine cauldron has, the higher the auxiliary effect on medicine refining and the higher the chance of successful pills. Of course, if an alchemist wants to control multiple fire ports, he needs a strong soul perception, which is the mental power of your world. With your current strength, you can only control two fire ports at most." Xiao Yan smiled and explained.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded in a daze. Then he looked up at the medicine cauldron in front of him and asked blankly, "Teacher, what should I do next?"

"You should familiarize yourself with the medicine cauldron first. Place one hand on the fire mouth, and then circulate the Dou Qi in your body into it." Xiao Yan gave the command while sitting cross-legged in the cave.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao stretched out his palm and slowly placed it on the edge of the fire mouth. At that moment, a warm touch came from his palm, as if the medicine cauldron was whispering to him.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao concentrated his mind and carefully circulated the fire-attributed Dou Qi in his body. As the Dou Qi was input, a slight buzzing sound was heard from the medicine cauldron, as if responding to his previous manipulation.

"Very good, now try to transform the Dou Qi into flames and send it into the medicine cauldron from the fire mouth." Xiao Yan's voice sounded at the right time.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and increased the output of his fighting spirit.

In the palm of his palm, a light red flame slowly condensed, and slowly penetrated into the medicine cauldron along the fire mouth. The inside of the medicine cauldron was instantly illuminated by the flame, and the temperature began to rise. Then, he pressed his other hand on the other fire mouth and repeated the same action. Flames spewed out of the two fire mouths at the same time, and the fire in the medicine cauldron became more and more vigorous.

"Next, put in a medicinal herb." Xiao Yan continued to instruct.

Huo Yuhao casually grabbed a green herb from the ground and, after a brief hesitation, tossed it into the cauldron through the opening at the top. As soon as the herb entered the cauldron, before Huo Yuhao could refine it, raging flames erupted from all around. In an instant, the herb was burned by the flames, turning it into a pile of pitch-black ash. Finally, a special mechanism within the cauldron expelled it from the interior.

Seeing that he failed in refining medicinal herbs on his first try, Huo Yuhao first touched his head, then turned around and smiled awkwardly at Xiao Yan.

"Go on." Seeing this, Xiao Yan said lightly.

After swallowing his saliva, Huo Yuhao grabbed another herb and threw it into the medicine cauldron. This time, the herb stayed in the cauldron for a while longer before turning into black ash again.

"The temperature is too high." Xiao Yan reminded again: "Yuhao, after the herbs enter the medicine cauldron, you must immediately activate your soul power to control the temperature inside the cauldron."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Only then did he realize that refining pills was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.

"Yuhao, just keep trying repeatedly according to the previous method. Alchemy is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires patience and concentration. I'll hover and rest for a while." After saying this, Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of rest.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he focused his gaze on the medicine cauldron in front of him again. He picked up a new medicinal herb in his hand and put it into the medicine cauldron again.

After persistently burning dozens of medicinal herbs, Huo Yuhao was able to barely find the point at which the herbs could adapt to the flame temperature by controlling his soul power.

From then on, Huo Yuhao devoted himself entirely to refining the medicine. The only sounds in the cave, apart from the sound of the burning herbs in the cauldron, were his light breathing. He adjusted the flame again and again, adding herbs again and again, his expression so focused that it seemed as if the whole world was left with only him and the cauldron in front of him.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and rested, his aura was steady, as if he had merged with the environment in the cave.

A few hours passed quietly.

A strange smell suddenly filled the quiet cave. The smell was very unique, with a faint aphrodisiac feeling that made people blush. Xiao Yan, who was originally immersed in a state of rest, moved his nose slightly and instantly caught the strange smell.

"What is this?" Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

With a raised eyebrow, Xiao Yan flashed and came directly behind Huo Yuhao.

At this time, Huo Yuhao was completely unaware that there was someone behind him. He was staring intently at the medicine cauldron, and then threw in another pink medicinal herb. The fragrance it exuded often made the nearby monsters roar all over the mountain.

After using a high-temperature flame to remove impurities from the pink medicinal materials and refining them into powder, Huo Yuhao grinned, waved his hand, opened the lid of the medicine cauldron, and with a suction of his palm, all the medicinal powder in the cauldron was sucked into the jade bottle in his hand.

Looking at what he had prepared for the first time, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to dip his finger in it, then lick it with his tongue, and his face immediately turned as red as a monkey's butt.
