Chapter 173 The First Successful Pill
Looking at Grandma Honghu, whose face was even darker than the burnt herbs, Lin Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, I will continue..."
Grandma Honghu sneered and looked at her disciple who began to clumsily continue to refine.
"Use your wood elemental spiritual power and your understanding of this medicinal material to determine the most suitable temperature for it, and use your soul to control the temperature to the most suitable level. Your spiritual energy perception and soul control abilities at the Jindan Great Perfection level are much stronger than those at the Qi Training stage. Logically speaking..."
Looking at the medicinal herbs that were burned into nothingness in Lin Zhao's hands, Grandma Honghu sighed and said, "Forget it, don't worry, take your time."
Things like alchemy cannot be rushed.
Especially since the Lin family is still a beginner.
After trying for a whole day and night, Lin Zhao finally found a trick and melted out a pool of medicine liquid with a sticky smell.
"Teacher, can this be used to melt the elixir?"
Looking at the strange color of the medicine liquid in the cauldron, which should have been emerald green, Grandma Honghu gave Lin Zhao a thumbs up and joked, "Not bad! If you refine the other medicinal materials and melt them into pills, you can become a Breaking Bad master."
Lin Zhao: "..."
She took back the medicine cauldron that was floating in the air with spiritual energy, looked at the spiritual liquid inside, and scratched her head: "I really want to know what to do."
Grandma Honghu nodded and said, "Give it a try?"
Under Grandma Honghu's serious expression, this time, the medicine liquid refined by Lin Zhao was not emerald green, but at least it showed a normal green color.
"Okay, let's extract other medicinal herbs."
Lin Zhao let out a breath. He didn't expect that just the first level of a small first-grade elixir would torture him for so long.
However, the extraction of medicinal materials itself is difficult at the beginning. Practice makes perfect. During the continuous extraction of medicinal materials, Lin Zhao became more and more familiar with the refining of medicinal materials.
It wasn't until the medicinal properties began to blend that Lin Zhao started to get flustered again.
She didn't expect that these seemingly mild liquid medicines could cancel each other out like ice and fire when they came into contact with each other.
Grandma Honghu said: "First-grade elixirs cannot be assisted by any elixir seals, so now it is entirely dependent on your soul perception and control. Use your wood element to affinity with them, and then control the properties that can connect them together to be amplified and complete the fusion."
Grandma Honghu said it very simply. Lin Zhao had ruined the Seven Ding Elixir by studying it over there. It was only under the guidance of Grandma Honghu that he found out how to use his spiritual power to discover and control the medicinal materials so that they could blend together.
This is indeed a very wonderful state. The soul controls the combination of the medicinal liquid in the cauldron. The wood attribute that is rarely used is rejuvenated at this moment. The soft spiritual energy provided by the wood attribute spiritual root wraps the medicinal liquid, allowing them to feel the suitable temperature while the medicinal properties will not dissipate. Instead, as they continue to blend, they emit a mellow medicinal fragrance.
Looking at the light green light emanating naturally from Lin Zhao's body, Grandma Honghu nodded with satisfaction.
Although it had only been less than a month since he was liberated, he was able to enter a state of enlightenment before successfully making a pill for the first time. This would be very helpful for Lin Zhao's future development as a pharmacist.
After all, you need insight to do anything.
The fact that Lin Zhao was able to enter a state of enlightenment showed that she had a good understanding in this area.
This was exactly what Grandma Honghu had expected; her disciple's personality was indeed suitable for being a pharmacist.
After setting up a formation around him to prevent him from being disturbed, Lin Zhao succeeded in making the elixir for the first time. It took him three full days because he entered a state of comprehension.
When she opened her eyes and looked at the first-grade Qi-replenishing pill lying in the furnace, she frowned.
There was a faint silver glow flowing around the pill. Even though Lin Zhao had only a preliminary understanding of alchemy, he understood that this was only the glow surrounding a medium-quality pill.
Inferior quality elixirs do not have any light, medium quality elixirs have silver light, and top quality elixirs have gold light. The perfect quality elixir is the one she has been taking. It is surrounded by a milky white light, and you can faintly see some gold when the milky white light flows.
It is said that the highest quality of perfection is surrounded by a white-gold glow.
However, the first pill he made was of only medium quality, which was a huge blow to Lin Zhao.
This medium-quality first-grade Qi-replenishing pill is suitable for disciples in the Qi training stage to quickly restore their spiritual energy, but it will also cause the accumulation of pill poison in these disciples.
Unless this disciple enters the Golden Core Stage, the poison will accompany him for life.
Grandma Honghu also saw the faint silver glow, but she was not surprised. Instead, she asked Lin Zhao, "How many are there?"
Lin Zhao just paid attention to the quality and not the quantity. He took a look and said, "Five."
A furnace of pills can produce up to seven pills at the same time, but only some master-level alchemists can do it. Many alchemists are lucky to be able to produce three or four pills.
As for some high-grade pills, due to their overbearing medicinal properties, often only one pill can be produced in one furnace, so Lin Zhao was quite satisfied with the result of five pills this time.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on her disciple's face, Grandma Honghu smiled and said, "Are you dissatisfied with the average quality?"
Lin Zhao sighed, wiped the dust off his face, and didn't make excuses for himself: "I always ask for perfect quality from my teacher, maybe I'm used to perfect quality."
"Then do you know what quality the medicine I first made was?"
Lin Zhao estimated: "It won't be lower than average, right?"
"I refined a useless pill." Grandma Honghu sighed: "Although I succeeded in blending the medicinal properties, when it was finally released from the furnace, the wood element spirit energy was not controlled well, the medicinal properties overflowed, and the spirit fire burned the half-formed pill to waste."
Talking about the past, Grandma Honghu said, "In the art of refining medicine, a slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake. You can't slack off at every step. You were able to refine a medium-quality one after the first successful fusion. You are already an upper-middle-class talent. Of course, you can't compare with those top-level monsters. But you have your strengths."
Lin Zhao asked, "What?"
“You’ve worked hard enough!” Grandma Honghu took the five pills and said, “Master will take this first batch of pills. Since you are not satisfied with the first batch of pills you made, then continue to make them until you are satisfied!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao wiped the sweat from his face and plunged back into the long and boring journey of refining medicine.
Amidst all the hard work, a group of people gathered outside the door.
The second elder and the old man behind him smiled bitterly and said, "Don't blame me, Elder Cheng. The head of the family should be out soon."
The old man was the sixth-rank alchemist invited by the second elder. He was satisfied with everything during his visit to the Lin family. However, according to the second elder, what he was most satisfied with was that the person who invited him was Lin Zhao, the current head of the Lin family.
Behind Lin Zhao is the South Sea Academy, which has obtained the most resources after the continental competition and is the most promising of the three schools!
To be honest, with his abilities, he would be a guest of honor in any noble family, but to be able to establish a relationship with the Three Masters is something that many sixth-rank alchemists would wish for.
Therefore, let alone asking him to wait a few more days, as long as Lin Zhao was willing to do so, it would not be a problem for him to wait a few more months.
He was just a little unhappy. After all, he was not interested in the Jindan-stage head of the Lin family, but the Nanhai College.
But before he could show his displeasure on his face, news came from the Lin family's servants.
"Elder Bai from Nanhai College is here!"
Elder Cheng immediately suppressed his unhappiness that had not yet been revealed, and waved his hand generously: "Don't blame me, don't blame me, the head of the family is busy first, it won't hurt for me to wait a few more days!"
