"But he failed the rating, right? According to the rules, a superior grade cannot be graded. One must have the ability to refine a first-grade top grade to be certified as a first-grade alchemist."
"Indeed, but he said it was his first time refining medicine. I don't know if it's true or not. To be able to refine a high-grade medicine on your first try is quite a talent!"
While the people around were discussing it, one of the reviewers couldn't help but say:
"That basin of water just now was used to forcefully cool down the pill, and then the water vapor evaporated and seeped into the pill to complete the final process. Not even the slightest difference could be acceptable. It's hard to believe that someone who is making pills for the first time could handle this."
Upon hearing this, those around him agreed that it made sense.
The wind chime offered no explanation, nor could it be explained.
The book explains all the conditions clearly, it's a foolproof tutorial, so it would be strange if it failed.
"May I ask what your master's name is?"
One of the reviewers asked.
"Replacing precious medicinal materials with ordinary soybeans is an idea that seems unbelievable. It must be the work of someone who has a thorough understanding of pharmacology."
Feng Ling smiled and said:
"I can't tell you that. I should go and refine it again."
No one believed it was his first time refining medicine. Few people could even refine a high-grade medicine on their first try, let alone a top-grade one.
At this moment, Old Huang said softly:
"If you still use soybeans, it's impossible to refine a top-quality product. That's the limitation of medicinal materials."
Old Huang's words revealed the truth, and everyone finally understood that it wasn't that he couldn't cultivate top-quality soybeans, but rather... soybeans couldn't be cultivated into top-quality soybeans.
Fengling said with a smile:
"What I want is never the best."
Then, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he walked towards the medicine cabinet.
How can you rank a product if you can't refine it to the highest grade?
To everyone's surprise, Fengling did not choose to refine the same medicinal herbs, but instead searched for them in other medicine cabinets.
"Pink Embroidery Green, Seven-Colored Tangerine Peel, this is... a second-tier demon-repelling ointment?"
Those who know their stuff will recognize it at a glance; these are all basic medicines, and the function of the Demon-Repelling Ointment is, as the name suggests, to remove demonic energy.
When spiritual masters fight against demons, they will inevitably be affected by demonic energy.
After each battle, one must promptly remove the demonic energy from one's body.
Using spiritual power is possible, but the demon-repelling ointment is more effective.
If left unattended, it will slowly flow out with metabolism. However, if the demonic energy of the other party is strong and damages the meridians, affecting future cultivation, then it would be a loss.
Therefore, this is also a commonly used medicine when fighting against the demon race.
It is a must-have medicine for almost all alchemists.
only...
Do you have any black fungus?
Everyone: ? ? ?
What are you criticizing?
What do you need that thing for?
The reviewer said:
"There are dried medicines in the bottom drawer of the medicine cabinet on the right."
"Thank you very much."
Feng Ling grabbed a handful of herbs and returned to the workbench in front of the alchemy furnace to begin processing them.
"Can dried black fungus replace lotus petals? At least the former is made from beans, but these two things are completely unrelated, aren't they?"
The judges in their seats also showed puzzled expressions and turned to look at Mr. Huang.
"Old Master Huang, is there any explanation?"
Old Huang shook his head, his eyes also filled with confusion.
He didn't understand how these two medicines, which had completely different effects, could be substituted.
The onlookers who came in later were all somewhat puzzled:
"What is he doing? What is he making? Cooking?"
"What? Dried wood ear mushrooms can replace lotus petals? Isn't that nonsense?"
"Huh? Soybeans can be used to replace kidney beans? Really?"
The wind chimes crushed the dried wood ear mushrooms, but this time they didn't soak them in water; instead, they threw them directly into the stove to roast.
Because it is a low-level basic medicine, the refining speed is very fast.
Soon, a clump of black ointment appeared in his hand.
Everyone: ...
Is this a demon-repelling ointment?
The color is strikingly similar to that of that culinary disaster.
The elixir made from the petals of the water lily is light pink.
"Still top-quality..."
Someone said this, and immediately someone else chimed in:
"But this is a second-tier medicine... The Alchemy Association stipulates that only medicines that can be refined to the highest grade are given a tier..."
"yes."
Fengling took the medicine over, and one of the reviewers couldn't wait to pick at it with his finger and try applying it to his own arm.
His expression then turned strange, and everyone wondered if it hadn't worked.
The evaluator, however, said:
Why can black fungus replace lotus petals?
Everyone: !!!
It actually works?
At this moment, Old Huang couldn't help but say:
"This is not a substitute, it's another prescription! Strictly speaking, this can't be called demon-repelling ointment anymore; it just has the same effects as demon-repelling ointment."
Fengling felt very satisfied to see that her mother's prescription had brought them so much surprise.
He said with a smile:
"Does that make me a level one alchemist?"
"You...don't you know that only the best quality items get a rating?"
"Huh? There's such a rule?"
Everyone: ...
You don't understand, do you?
Just as Feng Ling was about to go back to refine medicine again to quickly obtain the alchemist's certificate, Old Huang called out to him:
"The prescriptions for both of your medicines are rather strange. Was this intentionally done by the creator of the prescriptions?"
The ingredients in both prescriptions are very down-to-earth.
