"Are you sure you've given me the medicinal herbs needed for a prescription?"
After Gu Feng took the jade slip from Lin Xuan and examined it, his face immediately darkened, and he looked at Lin Xuan.
Good heavens!
That bastard really has no manners at all!
The information inside this jade slip is a list.
Before checking, Gu Feng naively thought that the ingredients were the necessary materials for the Earth Core Divine Pill, and that Lin Xuan had at most smuggled some of them in.
But it's nothing serious.
However, after he actually looked at the contents, Gu Feng finally realized that he had been too naive.
Human nature is treacherous!
That bastard Lin Xuan's list is so long, it includes over a thousand kinds of medicinal herbs alone.
That's fine.
After all, the process of refining pills is very complex, and some powerful pills require hundreds of medicinal materials.
Lin Xuan's Earth Core Divine Pill is known as a top-grade Xuan-level pill, requiring thousands of medicinal herbs.
That's understandable.
However, isn't this amount a bit too much?
The total amount of over a thousand kinds of medicinal herbs exceeds a hundred tons. Are you trying to refine elixirs or feed pigs?!
"Yes! These are the medicinal materials needed for the Earth Core Divine Elixir!" Lin Xuan nodded with an unchanged expression.
Damn it!
Gu Feng finally couldn't hold back any longer and gritted his teeth, saying, "Then can you explain to me what kind of pill requires hundreds of tons of medicinal herbs to refine?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Lin Xuan blushed, then coughed violently a few times before saying righteously, "General, you don't believe me anymore."
"If that's the case, why bother asking Lin to refine pills?"
Go to hell.
Gu Feng's face grew increasingly grim. This bastard had finally revealed his true colors, so he directly threatened him, hadn't he?
He gritted his teeth and said with a forced smile, "Commander Lin has misunderstood. I was just a little curious."
After all, I am a complete novice and know nothing about alchemy.
Some doubts are inevitable...
"I understand."
Lin Xuan nodded thoughtfully, then said in a serious tone, "This alchemy is indeed not something that ordinary people can understand."
Actually, my lord, you only need to know one thing.
Our alchemists refine elixirs by purifying and tempering medicinal herbs, and then using special methods.
It blends the essence of all medicinal herbs into one.
So even though my list of medicinal herbs looks long, it's actually quite normal, since I'm only using the best parts.
How can you get only a few drops of essence from a ton of medicinal herbs?
Moreover, alchemy involves losses and has a success rate; the higher the grade of the pill, the lower the success rate.
My Earth Core Divine Pill is a top-grade Xuan-level pill. Surely the Divine General doesn't think I can succeed on my first try!
Naturally, this means we'll need to prepare several batches of pills.
However, my lord, please rest assured that no matter how many batches of pills are produced, once successful, I will offer them all to you with both hands and will not take a single one.
Consider this a small gift from Lin to the Divine General..."
Lin Xuan's words were very logical and reasonable.
Gu Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. Seeing Lin Xuan talking nonsense in front of him with such a serious expression, he really wanted to kick Lin Xuan a couple of times.
But he didn't dare!
Only Lin Xuan could refine the Earth Core Divine Pill, and since he needed Lin Xuan's help, he dared not touch him.
He could only grit his teeth, his face grim, and say, "You make it sound so amazing, but I always feel like you're just trying to fool me..."
"Hehe, you're overthinking it."
Lin Xuan chuckled: "Be more confident, and forget about the word 'feeling'... no, General, you are wise and mighty."
Who can fool you?
Besides, I, Lin Xuan, am not that kind of person!
"hehe!"
Gu Feng sneered, his expression growing increasingly grim. He gave Lin Xuan a deep look, then put the jade slip away and said, "I will prepare the medicinal herbs as soon as possible."
I hope you won't refuse when the time comes.
"Of course!"
Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, his expression calm and his attitude very proper.
Of course, only he knows what he's really thinking.
"The Starry Sea should open tomorrow. Be careful once you go in. I've heard that the Longevity Sect and the demons are planning something big this time."
"Don't get stuck inside. I'm still waiting for you to help me refine the pills."
After saying this in a cold voice, Gu Feng stopped talking and got up to leave.
He had achieved his goal in coming to find Lin Xuan, but he couldn't be happy now. It was obvious that Lin Xuan had tricked him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
This feeling is truly unpleasant.
He didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer.
Walk!
Hurry up and leave.
After watching Gu Feng leave, Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with a cold sneer.
That's right, he just lied to Gu Feng.
Although the Earth Core Divine Elixir is a high-grade Xuan-level pill, the success rate of refining it by other alchemists would indeed not be very high.
But Lin Xuan is different!
His alchemy skills were at the Earth level, and he had even successfully cultivated them to perfection.
Let alone high-grade Xuan-level pills, he can even refine high-grade Di-level pills with 100% accuracy.
The reason I told Gu Feng that was partly to deliberately hide my shortcomings.
Secondly...
It was all for the purpose of ripping off medicinal herbs.
In fact, the only medicinal materials needed for the Earth Core Divine Elixir are just over a hundred kinds, and the quantity is not large.
The rest were all Lin Xuan's personal agenda.
