"Go and call Manager Lin over for me."
"Please wait a moment, sir!"
After the maid finished speaking, she bowed slightly and immediately ran off to find Manager Lin.
Bai Yuan waited for a short while before seeing Manager Lin jogging over.
"Master, what are your instructions?"
"Send a trusted person to deliver this secret letter back to the Heavenly Sect as soon as possible."
Bai Yuan handed the newly written letter of complaint to Manager Lin.
Manager Lin carefully took the sealed letter and nodded solemnly.
"Please rest assured, Master, I will arrange for someone to send a message back immediately!"
After Manager Lin put the letter away, Bai Yuan pointed to the medicinal herbs on the table and asked, "Where is the alchemy room? I plan to use those herbs to refine a batch of pills."
As a stronghold of the Taoists, Xuanxin Pavilion sells things like pills, so it must have a dedicated alchemy room.
Upon hearing Bai Yuan say he wanted to refine pills, Manager Lin was overjoyed. He had been guessing what Bai Yuan would do with these medicinal herbs, so he had specially selected some of the more precious and more effective ones.
Unexpectedly, it's just as well. The pills that Bai Yuan refines will definitely have better medicinal properties, and maybe he'll even have a chance to get one or two if he's in a good mood.
Thinking of this, Manager Lin was overjoyed and led Bai Yuan with a smile.
"Please follow me! The alchemy room is in the backyard, it's quieter there and the feng shui is better."
Bai Yuan nodded and followed him to the alchemy room, while a maid carried the medicinal herbs behind them.
The backyard wasn't far, and the group quickly arrived at the alchemy room. The alchemy room wasn't large; inside, there was only a bronze alchemy furnace, a futon, and a small table.
There were many small jade bottles on the table.
The maid put down the medicinal herbs and then stepped aside.
Bai Yuan surveyed the surroundings, nodded, and then said to Manager Lin, "Alright, you can leave now. Don't let anyone bother me anymore."
"Yes, yes, Master, then we'll be going now!"
Manager Lin nodded, knowing he shouldn't disturb Bai Yuan's alchemy. He gave a wink to the maid beside him, then led her away from the alchemy room.
After leaving, he stood up again
He immediately ordered that no one be allowed to approach the backyard to prevent disturbing Bai Yuan.
In the alchemy room, Bai Yuan began his first alchemy journey, following the teachings he had learned in Taoism.
After lighting the fire, Bai Yuan sat on the futon, using his left hand to control the size of the fire with the "Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Water" technique, while his right hand selected medicinal herbs.
He casually picked up an inconspicuous herb, then controlled the alchemy furnace to open a mechanism, put the herb inside, and used flames to purify its essence.
Although it was his first time refining pills, he had excellent control over the fire. The temperature in the furnace was just right, and the herbs were not burned to ashes immediately after entering the furnace.
He carefully controlled the flames, watching the herbs tumbling in the fire, as they were gradually burned away, leaving behind a thumb-sized, translucent liquid.
At this point, the refining process is complete, and this liquid is the freshly extracted herbal essence.
Take out the liquid and put it in a small jade bottle for later use.
Then Bai Yuan repeated the previous steps, putting another herb into the alchemy furnace and continuing the refining process.
Throughout the process, Bai Yuan kept his eyes fixed on the alchemy furnace, carefully controlling the temperature of the flames. If he were not careful, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
After refining three herbs, Bai Yuan stopped collecting herbs and prepared to move on to the next step: using alchemical fire to fuse the extracted essences together to form a real elixir.
It took Bai Yuan more than an hour to refine just three herbs, and he also consumed a lot of his internal energy.
The next step, blending the herbal essences, is also a painstaking and laborious task.
As the sun began to set, Wuming led Lu in cultivation all afternoon, but then they got hungry and went to find Bai Yuan.
Only then did they realize that Bai Yuan was not in the room.
After asking around, they learned that Bai Yuan had gone to refine pills not long after lunch, and had specifically instructed that no one should disturb him.
Just then, a loud noise came from the backyard, attracting the attention of Wuming and the others.
"This direction seems to lead to the alchemy room. Has something happened to Bai Yuan?"
Without time to think it through, Wuming immediately went to check the situation.
When he arrived there, he saw Manager Lin directing people to put out the fire.
“Master Wuming, even you have been alarmed.”
Shopkeeper Lin greeted Wuming when he saw him.
"How is this going?"
"I don't know either. I just heard a loud bang from the backyard, and then someone saw that this place was on fire. I just got here."
Manager Lin wiped the sweat from his brow, hoping that nothing serious would happen.
Where are the Baiyuan people?
Wuming asked with some concern.
"I'm here!"
At this moment, Bai Yuan appeared out of nowhere, looking somewhat disheveled.
Upon seeing Bai Yuan's condition, Manager Lin quickly stepped forward: "Master Bai Yuan, are you alright? Should I call a doctor to take a look at you?"
Bai Yuan waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary.
"Weren't you just refining pills? How did you get into this state?"
Wuming was very puzzled and curious about what had happened.
If nothing unexpected happens, that commotion just now was definitely caused by Bai Yuan.
It's just alchemy, why are you making it sound like you're going to demolish a house?
Bai Yuan coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
He was indeed refining pills, and he had successfully refined a batch of pills.
The system has very effectively activated the alchemy skill, which should have been a cause for celebration.
With a joyful heart, he began refining the second batch of pills without much rest.
When Bai Yuan reached the final step in refining the second batch of pills, he ran out of internal energy and made a mistake in controlling the flames.
Then, the oven exploded.
Not only was a batch of pills destroyed, but the flames also scattered everywhere, causing the entire alchemy room to catch fire.
In other words, he was quick-witted and grabbed the remaining medicinal herbs and the refined pills before running away.
He looks so disheveled now because of the smoke from the fire.

Chapter 25 Just a Bottle of Pills
After returning to their room and washing up, Bai Yuan explained to them what had just happened.
After listening to Bai Yuan's explanation, Wuming finally understood.
He failed in his alchemy attempt and an accident occurred.
Furnace explosions are actually quite common; many alchemists may have to blow up several batches before they can refine a single batch of pills.
For someone like Bai Yuan, who had already refined a batch of pills, to fail and cause the furnace to explode the second time simply because he didn't have enough internal energy, is already quite remarkable.
However, compared to the noise caused by other people's furnaces exploding, the noise Bai Yuan made was indeed quite loud.
Fortunately, the fire was not large and has now been almost extinguished, and the alchemy room did not suffer too much damage.
At this moment, Manager Lin's mind was not on the burned-down alchemy room at all; his mind was full of thoughts that Bai Yuan had already refined the pills.
The master is indeed a master. He has refined a batch of pills in such a short time. He is truly extraordinary!
Wuming was also very interested in the pills Bai Yuan had refined, and took the initiative to ask, "Where are the pills you refined? Can you show them to us?"
"Mr. Anonymous, what are you saying? I would gladly give you a bottle!"
Bai Yuan took out a small jade bottle and handed it to Wuming.
After taking it, Wuming uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill.
This pill is bright red, like a burning flame, with a pale gold pattern on it, which is the pill pattern.
Holding it in his hand, Wuming could already smell the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from the pill, indicating that it was of good quality.
However, according to the system's rating, the medicinal grade of the pills refined by Bai Yuan was actually only white.
[Name]: Qi-Nourishing Pill (White)
[Entry]: Warming Blood and Nourishing Qi (White)
【Warm Blood and Nourish Qi】: Contains the essence of various herbs. For ordinary people, it can replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body. For cultivators, it can improve the efficiency of internal energy cultivation within a certain period of time.
Although this Qi-Nourishing Pill is only of white grade, its effects are still amazing.
What made Bai Yuan happiest was not that he had successfully refined the pills, but that he had obtained a fixed formula for them. This would allow him to consistently refine pills that were of high quality to the outside world.
The herbs used to refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill are not particularly precious; they are inexpensive and have extremely low costs.
However, pills that can help people improve their cultivation efficiency, like the Qi-Nourishing Pill, are rare on the market and are often available even when they are priced high.
After all, those who know alchemy are basically from the Taoist or Yin-Yang schools.
There are very few Taoists who specialize in alchemy, so not many pills are sold, and pills that can accelerate cultivation are even rarer.
While the latter group has many alchemists, they also use a lot of pills, which are all consumed internally. They don't even have enough for their own people, so they don't sell them to others at all.
If handled properly, Bai Yuan could make a fortune just from this one type of pill.
Wuming was unaware of how special this pill was, so he asked Bai Yuan about it.
"What are the effects of this elixir?"
Bai Yuan smiled and told Wuming about the effects of its "Warm Blood and Nourish Qi" technique.
