Ten minutes passed this time.
On the tray, more than ten portions of medicinal herbs, resembling liquid amber, were carried over.
This time, Li Qinghe finally stopped making things difficult. Under her control, the medicinal liquid rose into the air and flew towards the cauldron.
Although turning medicinal herbs into a medicinal liquid will make the refining of pills faster, it is not a process that can be completed overnight.
The main ingredients also need time to dissolve and absorb the medicinal properties of the excipients.
Li Qinghe cast a series of hand seals, causing waves of spiritual energy to stir within the cauldron, unseen by Ye Feng...
"What are you standing there for? Go again!"
Ye Feng had originally intended to observe from the sidelines a bit longer, but upon hearing this, he rolled his eyes, turned around, and found an empty spot to sit down.
"I'm out of energy."
Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment before remembering that Ye Feng was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
An ordinary apprentice medicine boy would need to meditate and regulate his breathing after breaking down two or three portions of medicinal herbs at a proficient level, let alone someone with his mastered breakdown technique.
The amount of mana required is many times greater.
Being able to completely decompose this medicinal herb already demonstrates profound magical power...
However, everyone Li Qinghe had ever seen who used the Great Component Decomposition Technique was a Grand Alchemist.
He was either at the peak of Foundation Establishment or a Golden Core cultivator, which made her forget about it for a moment.
Twenty minutes later,
Li Qinghe made a hand seal, and the furnace lid popped open, drawing in about ten pills which dripped into a pre-prepared spirit bottle.
Originally, only eight or nine pills were produced, but twelve were actually made, four of which were of superior quality.
Even though Li Qinghe tried her best to remain calm, a smile still crept onto her face.
Originally, the auxiliary medicines didn't have such a significant effect, so even though she possessed proficient-level decomposition skills, she rarely prepared the medicinal herbs herself.
However, although there is only a one-level difference between mastery and mastery, their effects are worlds apart.
If the skill level of disassembly contributes 1 point to the production of elixirs, then the master level contributes 3 points.
That great achievement is ten, or even twenty.
She's currently only refining ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills, but with Ye Feng's help, she can now try refining pills that were previously impossible and even more difficult to refine.
"Alright! From now on, you'll be my personal medicine apprentice!"
Li Qinghe originally thought Ye Feng would be delighted and express his gratitude to her, but to her surprise, Ye Feng shook his head.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle. But I'm afraid my magical power is too weak to handle this task. Please find someone else."
It wasn't that Ye Feng was unwilling, but the work was simply too strenuous. Even just breaking down one portion of medicinal herbs would consume half of his magical power.
Moreover, the medicine boy also had to be responsible for odd jobs and preparations.
Afterwards, you still have to clean up the mess and remove the residue...
If one is proficient, or even has achieved a basic level of proficiency in breaking down techniques, then it's acceptable.
With extra magical power, I can still handle other tasks.
But now, one dose of medicine drains him halfway; another dose and he'll feel dizzy and lightheaded.
Where would they find the energy to secretly learn alchemy...?
After saying this, Ye Feng cupped his hands in greeting to Li Qinghe and walked out.
"Hey... what are you doing? Don't rush me, I'll give you double contribution points!"
The annual contribution points requirement is 80, and long-term workers usually only double that. Even if you double it again, it's only worth 320 spirit stones. Are we people who are short of a few dollars?
Ye Feng continued walking out without stopping.
"You help me break down the medicinal herbs, and I'll give you one Rejuvenating Pill for every batch of pills you make."
It's just a matter of a little money, isn't it? It's not a big deal.
Ye Feng had already opened the door and stepped one foot out.
"I'll teach you alchemy! I guarantee you'll be able to refine pills on your own within a year."
This...is not bad! Ye Feng slowed his pace a little.
Li Qinghe was furious when she saw Ye Feng still walking out.
The outer sect has relatively relaxed management, so that disciples can choose to do what they like and are good at, and discover their talents.
Now that Ye Feng is unwilling, we can't force him...
"Stop right there!"
When the spiritual pressure of the late Foundation Establishment stage struck, Ye Feng felt as if he were carrying a thousand pounds on his back, his bones creaking under the pressure. If it weren't for his second-level Body Refinement physique, he might have collapsed on the spot.
Ye Feng clenched his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead.
I was just about to use the trading points to improve my body refinement cultivation.
Li Qinghe appeared in front of him in a flash, her spiritual pressure dissipating.
"I'll take you as my disciple, provide you with food and lodging, and guarantee you'll reach the Foundation Establishment stage! Is that okay?"
Ye Feng, who had initially been angry, saw Li Qinghe's slightly aggrieved voice and his resentment vanished.
"Um... so, does Martial Uncle keep his word?"
"What do you take me for? Of course I keep my word!"
There was a hint of reproach in Li Qinghe's voice.
The original plan was to teach him gradually, cultivate a relationship between them, and instill in him a sense of awe and gratitude.
When the time comes, we can bring up the idea of taking on apprentices; it will naturally fall into place.
Who knew it would turn into something like a transaction? Forget gratitude, I might even be accused of being cheated if I didn't teach well...
It's really... indescribably frustrating!
"Um... well, thank you very much, Master!"
Ye Feng felt a little ashamed to call a woman with a giant-like face her master.
...plus, there's a little bit of a pity.
But now that the title has been established, it's definitely not acceptable not to call it that.
Although Ye Feng called out "Master" somewhat reluctantly, he had finally achieved his goal.
A smile also appeared on Li Qinghe's face.
Once you've become my apprentice, let's see if you still dare to act up. I'll beat you to a pulp...
Although entering the outer sect makes one a disciple of the sect, in reality, they are almost like outsiders.
Once you enter the inner gate, things will be different.
Whether it's sect management or infighting between factions, inner disciples will never be spared...
Of course, meals and accommodation are also required.
"Take this medicine book home and study it carefully. Make sure you memorize it perfectly and don't make any mistakes. Come back tomorrow; I'm going to test you."
"oh!"
For a moment, Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart that someone was taking care of him.
Compared to the encouraging words the sect leader spoke to him, Ye Feng felt even more comfortable with the unceremonious words of this youthful-looking master.
"Um, Master, I need to go down the mountain tomorrow; I have some things to take care of at home..."
I've already bought the longevity pills and some other things, so I just need to ask the management office for leave.
I wonder how Yang Fu is doing now.
Looking back now, it's clear that the original owner squandered almost all the valuables in the house. Yang Fu, an old man, not only had to earn money to support himself, but also had to help this "young master"—it was truly exhausting.
At such an advanced age, who knows when he might pass away? It's best to go back and visit him sooner rather than later.
Li Qinghe frowned. He hadn't even formally become an apprentice yet, and he was already thinking about going home.
Now that she has finally recognized Ye Feng's talent and is thinking about making a name for herself, she has to go home again?
But considering that Ye Feng couldn't leave the mountain for the three years he worked as a handyman, and now that he's finally been promoted to an outer disciple, it's time for him to go back for a visit.
This is basically the case for most people.
"Let's wait three more days. I need to report to the Peak Master about the disciple-acceptance ceremony. I'll leave after it's over."
Once you've accepted a disciple, they'll be an inner disciple, and then you won't have to worry about them running away.
Even if you run to the ends of the earth, the sects will still track you down.
"Um... okay then."
It's only three days, Afu should be able to hold on...
After explaining everything, Li Qinghe didn't stop Ye Feng this time, and even gave him a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills.
Normally, Qi Refining disciples only need Qi Restoration Pills, but she didn't have any.
"By the way, Master, what's your name?"
"Li Qinghe!"
