In a room in a hotel, Xiao Tian was holding a jade bottle with a dazed expression.
"Um, Yao Lao, why is my Foundation Elixir grey?”He scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Generally speaking, if you fail to refine it, you can only obtain this kind of thing at most.”Yao Lao rolled his eyes and helplessly said,"This is your first time refining medicine. It's almost impossible for you to succeed.”
"Hmm? Why?" Xiao Tian raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief.
“... Don't you believe me?" Yao Lao became even more speechless. After which, he withdrew his expression and said with a serious face,"Xiao Tian, you have to remember that even a top tier alchemist would not dare to say that he would be able to successfully refine a pill of the same level or a higher level. As for a low level pill, although a high level alchemist can easily refine it and the success rate is very high, in theory, there is still a chance of failure.”
After saying this, he paused to give Xiao Tian some time to think. Then, he said again,"Therefore, if you want to have some achievements on the path of medicine refinement, then don't be constrained by a temporary failure. You must endure and persevere!”
“...”
Xiao Tian listened quietly and didn't say a word. He seemed to be thinking about something.
However, when Yao Lao saw that he did not speak, he thought that his words earlier were a little overboard. He could not help but comfort him,"Actually, you're already very good. You have to know that there are very few people in this world who can become alchemists, and you having this kind of aptitude means that your talent is extremely good. Moreover, to be able to refine a semi-finished product on your first attempt is already very rare…"
Before he could finish, Xiao Tian suddenly turned his head and rolled his eyes at him.
"Humph! Are you saying that my strength is very weak and I definitely can't refine a finished product?”Xiao Tian said angrily,"You still said that you shouldn't be constrained by a temporary failure…" Endurance and perseverance were not wrong, but if one did not care about failure, where would one find the motivation to persevere?”
"Uh, this…" Yao Lao was startled when he heard this. He thought about it and found that he did not have any good reason to refute. He put on a stern face and said in a serious manner,"This is experience. The experience that the alchemists of the past generations have summed up is absolutely correct!”
"Tsk!" Xiao Tian pursed his lips but did not refute.
Yao Lao involuntarily shook his head when he saw this unconvinced manner. After which, he nodded.
"It is unexpected that I, Yao Chen, am actually able to find such a disciple after my death…With such a powerful soul force, he will definitely go further than me on the path of alchemy in the future!”
This old man, who had died until only his soul was left, had a lot of hope ignited in his heart the moment he saw Xiao Tian. At this moment, when he saw the results of Xiao Tian's first medicinal refinement, he was so excited that tears flowed down his old face. Of course, this was a little exaggerated, but it was similar.
While Yao Lao was secretly sighing, Xiao Tian had already forgotten what Yao Lao had said earlier. Instead, he thought of another matter.
"That's right, the Little Fairy Doctor that I saw in the town earlier…"
"What's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to her?" Yao Lao laughed and interrupted," However, that girl is indeed pretty and has a good figure.”
“... What are you talking about?" Xiao Tian rolled his eyes when he heard this." I mean, that Fairy Doctor seems to be able to find medicinal herbs in this area! Moreover, I heard that she's going to the mountains to pick herbs tomorrow and is recruiting mercenaries…"
"Yes, yes, you go!" "It just so happens that you'll be able to get close to her, killing two birds with one stone!" Yao Lao instigated.”
“... Forget it!"
Xiao Tian could not bear to see Yao Lao's smirk and mocking look. He shook his head and denied his previous thoughts. He was also a very decisive person. After deciding not to participate in tomorrow's recruitment, he would definitely not go.
Yao Lao already had some understanding of Xiao Tian's decisiveness. However, he had also become anxious.
Originally, although the Drug Lord had a mocking attitude towards Xiao Tian, he still hoped that he would be able to follow the herb-picking team up the mountain tomorrow. However, Xiao Tian had changed his plan, which made him anxious and regretful.
"Well, Xiao Tian, I think it's better for you to participate in the recruitment tomorrow.”Yao Lao stuttered," This will be very beneficial for you to increase your experience and identify medicinal ingredients.”
"I'm not going, I'm not going." Xiao Tian was already lying on the bed and waved his hand to reject him without looking back.
"Oh…"
Yao Lao was a little troubled when he saw this. With his status, he could not bring himself to apologize. He frowned and thought for a moment. He recalled something that happened not long ago and suddenly had an idea.
"Xiao Tian, do you still remember the Blood Lotus Essence you bought from the medicine shop today?”He was laughing in his heart, but he said this seriously.
"What? Are you talking about this?"
As Xiao Tian spoke, he took out a yellow lotus essence from his storage ring. This yellow lotus essence was the one that Yao Lao had asked him to add. When he arrived at the inn, Yao Lao told him that this was the blood lotus essence, one of the essential medicinal ingredients for refining the blood lotus pill.
At first, Xiao Tian did not believe it. However, he followed Yao Lao's instructions and cut a line on the Yellow Lotus Essence. When he saw the golden light under the skin, he immediately believed the latter's words.
"Hehe, do you know what this Blood Lotus Essence represents?”At this moment, Yao Lao spoke again,"This means that there might be many of these medicinal herbs on the surrounding mountains!"”
"Yes, maybe that's true." Xiao Tian nodded." Then we'll go and take a look the day after tomorrow."”
The day after tomorrow, he would look for herbs. Tomorrow, he would naturally practice refining medicine.
Although the Drug Lord was still unwilling, he remembered that Xiao Tian had just started learning alchemy and needed more practice. He shook his head and stopped talking.
After Yao Lao entered the ring, Xiao Tian also fell into a deep sleep at the same time. This night was once again silent.
The next day, Xiao Tian had been refining medicine under the guidance of the Drug Lord since he woke up. This situation continued until night.
On the evening of the third day, on a cliff somewhere outside Qingshan Town.
Xiao Tian poked his head out from behind a huge rock and jumped onto the cliff.
"Yao Lao, didn't you say that there was a Blood Lotus Essence here? They had been searching for almost a day, but why couldn't they find even a shadow of the Blood Lotus Spirit?!”As soon as he jumped onto the huge rock, Xiao Tian grumbled, but his hand reached to his waist and undid his belt.
Yao Lao slowly appeared beside him. When he saw the other party undoing his pants and taking out his underling to release water, he could not help but be startled. He shook his head and helplessly said,"You have to be patient…However, isn't your appearance a little inappropriate? It's still daytime!"
"Tsk, what's inappropriate about it?" Xiao Tian pursed his lips and did not care at all." There's no one nearby..." People..."
When he said the last word, he suddenly froze.
That was because, between the cliffs below him, there were two angry eyes staring at him. Or rather, they were staring at his eyes.
"There really is someone!"
This was Xiao Tian's first reaction, and his second reaction was to pull up his belt, his face turning red.
