"Ahem, Lu Ping, today let's talk about something other than alchemy techniques."

"You must be wondering why the first-grade elixir is divided into first-grade ordinary elixir and first-grade spiritual elixir."

Lu Ping wanted to say he didn't, but seeing that Master Qingxiu looked like he was about to ask me something, he had no choice but to ask, "Why is there such a division?"

"This classification method is to maintain the rarity of alchemists."

"Some first-grade elixirs can use common medicinal materials of a higher age. Although the effect of refining them is far inferior to that of spiritual medicine, the techniques and steps are indeed alchemy techniques."

"These people also called themselves alchemists, which directly reduced the value of the title of alchemist. So later, some people called these people alchemy apprentices and separated them from alchemists."

"So, the names of first-grade medicinal pills and first-grade spiritual pills are separated for this reason?"

"Haha, I understand immediately. It's true."

"Did it destroy your imagination? You thought that alchemists were all highly respected and skilled, but you didn't expect that they would do this just for some worldly reputation."

Lu Ping really couldn't accept it. "Master, it's true."

"Now I can tell you clearly that alchemists have the same emotions and desires as ordinary cultivators, and they will do all kinds of shameful things. They will even assassinate and ambush for profit."

"To avoid this from happening, it is important to be strong or have a good background."

"Your Lu family is not bad, but those Jindan families still don't give your Lu family face, so don't be obsessed with alchemy and forget your own cultivation. That's the hard truth."

"Yes, Master, I understand."

"It's good that you understand. I will continue to teach you these principles."

"Now let's start today's homework."

"Refine the first-grade hemostatic pill. If you have any questions, come and ask me."

"yes."

Lu Ping closed his eyes and recalled the steps of making the hemostatic pill. He first took out the ingredients and mixed them, then used flame to extract the essence, used civil and martial fire to fuse the essence of the ingredients, and finally entered the spell to make it match the number of Zhou Tian and achieve a round shape. Then, it was done.

Lu Ping took out the medicinal materials for making hemostatic pills from his storage bag, mixed the ingredients in the right proportions according to the recipe, and divided them into three portions.

Qigong monks do not have mana and cannot have true fire, so they usually use ground fire as a substitute. The advantages of ground fire are that the fire is strong and lasts long, but the disadvantage is that it does not move according to the will of the alchemist. However, after being arranged by the formation master, it is not only purer and hotter than the true fire of the monks, but also particularly long-lasting and stable.

"According to Master Qingxiu, the success rate of alchemy with earth fire is much higher than that of the original true fire alchemy method. However, there is no true fire in the Qi training stage and the cost of using earth fire to refine hemostatic pills is far greater than the value of the pills. However, some clever Qi training alchemists have invented some devices to restrain ordinary flames, and Master Qingxiu happens to have a set of devices that can be used."

Lu Ping filled the spirit stone and started the device. The flame slowly rose. Lu Ping input spiritual power and spent ten breaths gradually adapting to the changes in the fire power of the device. Then he put the medicinal materials into the furnace and activated his spiritual eyes to observe the changes in the furnace.

The first batch of medicinal materials were put in. As the temperature rose, they began to burn. Lu Ping controlled the flame with one hand and used the other hand to cast a spell to protect the herbs from burning. He then kept rolling them to ensure that they were heated evenly. After the temperature in the furnace reached a certain level, the herbs gradually began to liquefy under the protection of the spell.

Lu Ping hurriedly continued to make hand gestures, controlling the liquid that appeared to leave the medicinal materials, causing it to rotate centrifugally with the medicinal materials as the center. As the amount of liquid increased, the requirement had been met, and it became increasingly difficult to extract the essence. He then released the protection of the medicinal materials and burned them into slag to avoid contaminating the essence of the medicine.

Afterwards, Lu Ping suspended the medicine liquid in the air in the center of the alchemy furnace, and one spell after another was injected into the medicine liquid through the alchemy furnace. As the medicine liquid rotated faster and faster, it formed a round shape.

Lu Ping felt that the time had come, and he cast the last spell, and the liquid medicine in the furnace solidified.

At this time [You refine a hemostatic pill, gain something, and your proficiency increases by 1] [Alchemy Apprentice Lv1 (821/2000)]

When Lu Ping heard the system's prompt, he smiled with a slightly serious expression.

The anxious heart of Qing Xiu, who was watching Lu Ping making hand gestures, finally relaxed, but he still had to give it a try to know the final result.

Lu Ping stopped the device, cooled down the furnace, and took out the pills.

Name: Hemostatic Pill

Realm: First Grade

Quality: General

[A common first-class elixir in the world of immortal cultivation, it can stop bleeding and reduce swelling, and can be used externally or internally]

Lu Ping looked at the evaluation given by the system and found that the quality of the elixir was indeed the same as the first-grade elixir. It seemed that the system's evaluation was different from the evaluation in the world of immortal cultivation.

Qing Xiu also came over, took the pill from Lu Ping, smelled it first, scraped off a little to taste it, and commented, "The ingredients are fine, the heat is a little lacking, the technique and steps are a little unskilled, but the final quality is acceptable."

"As soon as I saw the system's evaluation, Lu Ping knew that I passed. Now I feel relieved to hear Teacher Qingxiu's conclusion."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Qing Xiu felt a little emotional. It was truly extraordinary that he could refine ordinary elixirs to a qualified standard in less than two months.

He praised, "Lu Ping, you can now be called an alchemy apprentice. I'm afraid you will soon become a formal alchemist and be respected as an alchemist."

"Master, you are too kind. I am still far from it. The hemostatic pill is just an ordinary pill. Its effect is not much better than using it directly after preparation."

"It's okay. Just practice more. Once you have mastered the spells and techniques, you can try to refine the elixir."

"Haha, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you inherit everything from me for half a year, but I didn't expect that you would meet my expectations in less than two months."

"How much spiritual power do you have left?"

"Master, there are still quite a few."

"You must remember the spiritual energy consumption of refining the hemostatic pill, and compare it with the refining time of other pills I told you. Don't be careless. If you run out of spiritual energy, the pill will be ruined."

"Since you still have a lot of spiritual power, you can continue to refine first-grade pills here and practice with a few more types."

"Yes, Master." Lu Ping felt the full spiritual power in his dantian, and also felt the ordinary medicinal materials in the storage bag. He felt that he was about to work hard again.

"I'm going back to rest first."

When Qing Xiu left the alchemy room and returned to his room, suddenly,

"Cough, cough." Qing Xiu opened his palm and looked at the blood on it, sighing in his heart.

"God gave me a talented disciple, but I won't be able to see the day when he becomes famous. What a twist of fate."

Then Qingxiu endured the pain and took a pill to relieve the pain.

He gradually relaxed and checked his body. "It looks like I can only live for three months at most."

“It seems like there’s enough time, but in order to avoid any accidents, it’s better to hand the things over to Lu Ping as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more trouble.
