Chapter 16: Refining Medicine with an Iron Pot
Qin Yivi suddenly looked up and looked at Mu Shiyue in shock.
"Master?!"
Mu Shiyue's expression was normal. "Just do it if you want to. It's not difficult to be a pharmacist anyway."
Qin Yiwei: "..."
She was very happy and excited that her master supported her to become an alchemist.
However, the next sentence from her master made her laugh and cry.
——If becoming an alchemist wasn’t difficult, would the number be so small?
However, looking at her master's innocent face, she didn't say anything to argue.
"Yes, it's not difficult to be an alchemist!" Xin Jinrui also nodded, full of pride, "Second Junior Sister, you can do it!"
Qin Yiwei: "..."
Okay, case solved.
It is the confidence that is passed down from generation to generation.
Chu Jingzhuo knew how difficult it was to become an alchemist, after all, his family also supported an alchemist.
The alchemist's strength was not that great, but his chin was held high to the sky.
The reason why he was so proud was, of course, because alchemists were so rare.
Even though his success rate was low, with only one or two successful pills in a batch of medicine, he still received praise from others.
This is the pride of the alchemist!
However, Chu Jingzhuo also supported Qin Yivi.
"Second Senior Sister, I believe you can succeed!"
Qin Yivi knew Chu Jingzhuo's situation.
When he said so, Qin Yivi understood that he was supporting her as a senior sister!
Looking at the three masters and apprentices in front of her, Qin Yivi's eyes moistened slightly, and a sense of pride surged in her heart.
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
"We won't sell those scraps. We'll leave them all to you," said Xin Jinrui.
"good!"
Qin Yivi nodded, unable to hide her excitement.
She had worked as an assistant to an alchemy apprentice before and understood the general process of alchemy.
It should be okay to make the medicine myself this time... right?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, her face changed.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jingzhuo noticed her expression change and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"I... don't have a furnace." Qin Yivi's face was a little stiff.
You may not have the other things, but you must have the furnace!
"A furnace? How much does it cost?"
Xin Jinrui didn't know much about alchemists, but refining medicine required a furnace, just like he needed a pot to cook.
"this……"
Qin Yivi frowned.
At this moment, all ambitions were extinguished.
Becoming an alchemist is not something she can do just by wanting to.
Why are alchemists so rare?
It will cost a lot of money to prepare the materials in the early stage!
Qin Yivi touched her storage bag. Apart from the red crystal stone given by her master, there were only a few low-grade spirit stones in it.
You can’t buy a stove with this little money!
If you want to do your job well, you must first understand its flaws.
If there is no good furnace, how can we make good medicine?
"An ordinary furnace also requires a medium-grade spirit stone." Chu Jingzhuo had a rough understanding of these.
"So expensive?" Xin Jinrui's eyes widened.
"The furnace is just for beginners, and there are also medicinal herbs!" Chu Jingzhuo's expression also became serious.
Medicinal herbs are the money-eating beast!
In order to refine a batch of medicinal materials, you may have to waste several batches of medicinal materials.
The more advanced the medicinal materials are refined, the higher the probability of them being scrapped.
This is just burning money!
Alchemists are built with money!
Qin Yivi also calmed down from her initial enthusiasm, and her face looked extremely ugly.
She was just thinking too simply.
If it were so easy, why would there be so few alchemists?
