After she took the initiative to find Qin Ran, Long Qiqi's cultivation journey officially began. She had a cultivation method, a cultivation approach, and a cultivation plan; she was no longer confused or anxious.
She is the one who walks the path that Li Shiyin has never walked before.
She began to study the human body's muscle structure, the five internal organs, the meridians and acupoints; she also began to study medicinal materials, pharmacology, and prescriptions; she also began to refine elixirs, make medicines, and practice cultivation.
Compared to Li Shiyin, she was more like Qin Ran's apprentice, although she never called Qin Ran Master.
Of course, speaking of being more like Qin Ran’s disciple, Tushan Youyou is more like Qin Ran’s disciple than Li Shiyin. After all, Tushan Youyou can also learn formations from Qin Ran, while Li Shiyin cannot learn swordsmanship from Qin Ran.
This made Li Shiyin feel very threatened. In recent times, the time she spent outside was drastically reduced. She stayed in Danfeng every day to sleep... sleep... a hundred thousand novels!
Li Shiyin reads hundreds of novels every day and also wants to learn how to make elixirs!
Compared to spiritual practice, Long Qiqi is obviously much more talented in alchemy and medicine... For a gloomy, dark and thoughtful person like her, studying these things is indeed more suitable.
Although... her talent points seem to be misplaced... a few hundred million points.
On the first floor of the research building, in the pharmacy, Qin Ran looked at the medicine Long Qiqi prepared. He saw its dark color and smelled its pungent taste. He stretched out his finger to test the medicine, and then his finger became bruised visibly.
Qin Ran's face turned black. With his physique, his blood circulation was blocked by the ordinary medicine prepared by Long Qiqi.
"What medicine should I ask you to prescribe?" he asked Long Qiqi.
Long Qiqi replied: "It's an ointment for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and promoting skin regeneration and care."
"So what medicine did you prescribe?"
"It's a poison that will kill you instantly when it comes into contact with blood."
Qin Ran took two deep breaths, lowered his blood pressure, and asked, "Isn't the difference between these two medicines a bit big?"
"Not much actually..." Long Qiqi answered seriously, "Look carefully, the raw materials of this poison are the same as those used to prepare the ointment; the preparation method is also the one you taught me; the pharmacology involved is also the one you taught me.
“It’s just that its effect is just the opposite.
"Essence of pills and poisons is actually the same thing. Like you said, the yin and yang of pharmacology, the palm and the back of the hand, they are the same thing."
Long Qiqi was right. She did use the medicinal ingredients for healing medicine to make a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon impact, and the pharmacology involved was the same.
Qin Ran looked at the medicine and didn't know what to say. Long Qiqi had indeed learned everything he taught her, and she had used it very well, but it was just a twist. "You are really a venomous snake!" He rolled his eyes. A good healing medicine could be made into a poison by her. This was also a talent.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to correct it forcefully. The venomous snake's innate skill is poison, so there is no need to do so.
Moreover, the core principles of elixirs and poisons are actually the same.
Long Qiqi likes to make poisons, so let her do it and he will teach her pharmacology normally.
But there was one thing he had to explain to her in advance about this venomous snake...
"No matter what poison you make, you are not allowed to use it in Danfeng!" He warned Long Qiqi seriously, "If you are caught once, you will be expelled from Danfeng... If the situation is serious, I will kill you myself."
Long Qiqi didn’t wait for Qin Ran to scold her for mixing the medicine randomly, nor did she wait for Qin Ran to forbid her from making poison. Instead, she waited for Qin Ran to warn her not to use poison on Danfeng…
She found that Qin Ran was really different, different from everyone she had met before.
This person is so good and his realm is so high.
She nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Why would I use poison in Danfeng?"
But Qin Ran looked at this dark loli and felt uneasy. He said:
"As a scientific researcher...alchemist, you will have to write an alchemy report in the future. Every time you make an elixir or medicine, you need to record it truthfully. Every step of the medicine refining, what raw materials are used, what medicinal materials are added in each step and how much, the purification of the medicinal materials, the purification time, the reaction time, the reaction changes, the reaction results, etc. Record them all and give them to me. Later, I will give you a copy of the record I made when refining the medicine, and you can follow it.
"Then, from now on, you are not allowed to go to the pharmacy to get herbs by yourself. You must report to me. And the poisons you refine must be stored and marked in the poison pill room on the fourth floor. Every time you use them, you must keep a record."
He looked at Long Qiqi and asked, "Do you understand?"
Just now I thought Qin Ran was good, but then he put so many restrictions on her. Long Qiqi suddenly felt bored and replied reluctantly: "Oh!"
“I’m not forbidding you to make poisons, nor am I forbidding you to use poisons. I just don’t want you to abuse them and hurt innocent people.” Qin Ran said, “When cultivating immortals, most of the time, what you cultivate is your heart. Strength and killing will make a cultivator become twisted and go astray…”
The young little girl didn’t understand these things, and she didn’t want to understand them. She just thought Qin Ran was being long-winded, so she curled her lips and retorted, “The Devouring Demon Willow has killed so many people! Don’t you think he did nothing wrong?”
“From the perspective of Heavenly Dao and the Devouring Demon Willow, it did nothing wrong.” Qin Ran explained, “But from the perspective of cultivation, suddenly increasing your power so much and wiping out so many lives in an instant, do you think your mind wouldn’t be distorted by this?
"I don't know whether the Devouring Demon Willow is twisted or not, but I know you can't keep your original intention!"
"Don't underestimate people!" Long Qiqi sneered.
In fact, she knew that what Qin Ran said was right, she was just annoyed by Qin Ran's nagging.
"No matter what, you must abide by the rules I mentioned above regarding your medicine refining." Qin Ran saw the impatient expression on Long Qiqi's face and said no more, just giving a final warning.
Long Qiqi rolled his eyes and replied listlessly: "Okay, I know."
"That's all for today's pharmacology. Go back and sense the Qi..." Qin Ran shook his head and turned to go out. "Condition the Qi cyclone as soon as possible."
That's right, Long Qiqi is indeed very talented in alchemy, but she is even better at making the elixir in reverse. She makes the medicine that cures diseases and saves lives into medicine that kills people, and the medicine that increases qi and restores blood into medicine that reduces qi and blood.
She should not be called an alchemist, she should be called a poison maker.
Qin Ran left the research building and came to the wooden house. He saw Li Shiyin swinging gloomily on the swing under the locust tree. On her lap, there was a book on medicinal herbs.
Seeing his silly disciple like this, Qin Ran was very curious. When did Li Shiyin become unhappy?
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
Li Shiyin turned her head, glanced at Qin Ran, sighed, and called out "Master~" in a drawn-out voice, then turned back and continued to play on the swing.
Qin Ran sat down on a chair nearby, took out the collection of pill recipes, and asked with a smile, "Who made our female sword fairy unhappy?"
Li Shiyin's eyes grew dim and she turned to stare at Qin Ran.
“Me?” Qin Ran was puzzled. “I haven’t done anything recently!”
Li Shiyin stopped, stood up with the book on her lap, walked to Qin Ran, pouted, and snorted: "Master, why don't you teach me how to make pills!"
"Ah?" Qin Ran was stunned.
"Master, you didn't even teach me the formation!"
“Hmm…” Qin Ran began to ponder.
"Master, are you still my master?" Li Shiyin pointed at Qin Ran and asked.
Qin Ran looked at his stupid disciple's angry look and asked, "So what do you think we should do?"
"Teach me how to make the elixir!"
“No problem…” Kieran nodded.
Li Shiyin became happy again. She took the herbal medicine and moved a chair to sit next to Qin Ran.
She pointed to a strange-looking plant in the book and asked Qin Ran, "Master, what do you think this is?"
"You hold the book upside down..."
Ten minutes later, a female swordsman fell into a dream.
