After sitting quietly for nearly an hour, a pretty maid finally walked in from outside the door. She held a small silver plate in both hands. On the small plate was a light red ring. It was a storage ring.
Ya Fei received the silver plate and dismissed the female servant. She personally handed it to Xiao Yan and said with a smile,"Sir, the medicinal cauldron and medicinal ingredients you need are all in the storage ring.”
Xiao Yan extended his hand and picked up the Storage Ring from the silver plate. He rotated it in his palm and nodded slightly. Yao Lao's voice was also emitted at the right time,"Okay, you guys go out first. Don't let anyone disturb you. I'll call you when the qi-gathering elixir is successfully refined.”Regarding Ya Fei's little thoughts, he did not expose them. In any case, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
When refining a tier 4 medicinal pill like the Qi Gathering Powder, Yao Lao naturally did not have any chance of failure. After an hour, Xiao Yan handed the Qi Gathering Powder to Ya Fei but she accidentally saw the black ring that Xiao Yan was wearing. In order not to let her suspect anything, he retracted his hand and said,"I'll be leaving first. Help me pay attention to the medicinal herbs used to refine the pill. If you find them, deduct them from my card.”
Ya Fei's beautiful eyes contained a joy as she hurriedly nodded.
"Alright, you don't have to send me off. I'll go out myself.”Xiao Yan waved his hand and kept the storage ring. After which, he walked out of the waiting room without turning his head.
Eyeing the back that disappeared behind the door, Ya Fei gently bit her red lips. She mused for a moment before softly asking,"Uncle Gu Ni, the success rate of refining the qi gathering elixir doesn't seem too high, right?”
"Mn, it's said that even Pill-King Grandmaster Gu He's success rate in refining the Qi Gathering Powder is only around seventy percent. An ordinary tier four alchemist might only have a success rate of less than fifty percent.”Gu Ni said in a low voice.
" But this mister succeeded in refining it in one try…" Ya Fei frowned slightly and said.
" Who knows, maybe he is lucky…" Gu Ni shook his head and didn't care too much about it. After all, when an alchemist was refining pills, a large part of it was luck. If he was lucky, he might not fail a few times in a row.
"Could he be more than a tier four alchemist?”Ya Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Ke ke, how is that possible? There are only a handful of tier 5 alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire. When one reaches that level, even the empire and the Misty Cloud Sect would treat them as distinguished guests. Why would they come to our place to auction off medicinal pills?”Gu Ni laughed.
Ya Fei nodded slightly when she heard this. She sighed softly and laughed bitterly,"Looks like I still do not have enough experience. That hesitation earlier has likely caused this mysterious alchemist to have a good impression of us.”
"You can't be blamed for this. It's already very good that you can do this. As for our relationship, we can slowly build it up in the future.”Gu Ni comforted.
Ya Fei smiled bitterly and nodded. She lazily sat on the chair, revealing her curves. She blinked her long and narrow eyes and softly said with some doubt,"What does he want to do with so many low-grade medicinal herbs?”
"Those medicinal ingredients are used by entry-level alchemists to refine medicinal pills. I think he should be planning to refine low grade medicinal pills.”After pondering for a while, Gu Ni frowned and said with some doubt: "But with his status, why would he refine these cheap pills?”
"Maybe he's refining pills for his disciples?”Ya Fei didn't know that the guess she casually said was actually the truth.
Xiao Yan returned to his room. After preparing some of the things needed to refine a tier 1 medicinal pill, he walked to the remote cave that he had discovered.
Yao Lao had once said that one must not be disturbed when refining medicine. There were many people in the clan. If someone were to barge in, Xiao Yan would not be able to bear the consequences.
Xiao Yan entered the east of the mountain and transferred his Dou Qi into the black colored ring. A medicinal cauldron appeared on the spot. The entire body of the medicinal cauldron was dark red in color. There were some specks of light on it. There were two ferocious snake heads carved below the medicinal cauldron. The mouths of the snake were wide open, forming two connected fire holes. The holes were curved and continuous. The deeper one went, the smaller the diameter. At a glance, it seemed to contain a profound mystery. At the top of the medicinal cauldron, the giant snake coiled itself into a dark red cauldron lid. There was a special hole at the top of the cauldron lid. This was the place where medicinal ingredients were thrown in. On the lid of the medicinal cauldron, there were some fine holes made of ice silver. These had the effect of dissipating heat to prevent the high temperature from causing the cauldron to explode. In the middle of the medicinal cauldron, there was a transparent mirror made of ice essence. From here, one could clearly see all the movements inside when refining medicine. The surface of the cauldron was painted with beautiful carvings of magical beasts. It was so lifelike that it looked like it was alive.
Yao Lao looked at this gorgeous medicinal cauldron and rubbed the ancient black ring on his finger. He transformed into a ray of light and appeared in a flash. "Hmm, two cauldrons. This is not bad for a newbie like you.”Yao Lao glanced at the three snake mouths on the dark-red medicinal cauldron and spoke in a faint voice.
"Two cauldrons?"
"Medicinal cauldrons are also divided into different grades. The more fire openings a cauldron has, the higher the grade of the medicinal cauldron. Don't think that you can just randomly drill a few holes into these fire openings. The fire openings are the essence of the medicinal cauldron and require high precision. During the forging process, if there is even the slightest mistake, the entire medicinal cauldron will become a failed product. Therefore, the more fire openings a medicinal cauldron has, the stronger the auxiliary effect it has on refining medicine. Of course, if you want to control more fire openings, you will need a powerful spiritual perception. Although your soul perception is extremely strong, you have never really refined medicine before, so you need to practice. The Cauldron of Two Mouth is suitable for you.”Yao Lao smiled and explained.
"A good medicinal cauldron is as important to an alchemist as a sword in the hands of a warrior.”
Nodding his head, Xiao Yan looked at the medicinal cauldron in front of him and asked,"What's next?"
