There were three classes the previous afternoon. Originally, the first class was supposed to be the basics of alchemy, but because Elder Danlu had something urgent to do, he switched with Elder Fushou.
So the first class became Yun Feimiao's home court.
The second alchemy class was Jiang Qingruo and Liu Songlan's home turf. They were both Xuan-level alchemists, so this basic course was a piece of cake for them.
Especially Jiang Qingruo, his basic knowledge is more solid and his feel for alchemy is better. He can make a furnace of top-grade hemostatic powder right away.
Liu Songlan's powder is of inferior quality. After all, it is the most basic medicinal powder. The quality of the powder he refined is better than the top grade, but still a little short of the best grade.
If it were a pill, he might be able to refine one or two top-quality ones, but the medicinal powder was difficult to control.
In theory, medicinal powder is easier to refine than pills because it eliminates many steps, and even the hand gestures are the simplest version.
But when Liu Songlan was young, he was eager to advance, so he was not very proficient in the things he needed to refine when he was just getting started.
Jiang Qingruo was different. He had been raised under the guidance of the elders of Shennong Valley. Whether it was cultivation or alchemy, he always took a steady approach. He would refine each type of elixir to perfection before moving on to the next. Therefore, most of the elixirs he had were of the highest quality.
Elder Danlu was very satisfied with the two of them, but when he turned around and saw the results of Yun Feimiao and Xie Yang, he turned his head away, unable to bear to look at them.
Elder Danlu had a better temper than Elder Fushou and didn't lose his temper easily. Furthermore, the two children had zero comprehension of alchemy, so he couldn't force them.
But as a gentle and patient elder, after he got used to the two ugly things refined by Yun Feimiao and Xie Yang, he still stepped forward to ask about their situation, wanting to see if he could teach them according to their aptitude.
After hearing that Yun Feimiao came from the Yun family of Xizhou, Elder Danlu understood. After all, the Yun family has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and all the descendants of the family mainly have water and ice spiritual roots, followed by thunder spiritual roots.
Only those with multiple spiritual roots can mix in a wood spiritual root or an earth spiritual root.
But no matter how many spiritual roots they have, the Yun family cannot produce gold spiritual roots and fire spiritual roots. Therefore, everyone in the Yun family has zero talent in alchemy and refining.
But this does not hinder anything, because except for Lei Linggen, other members of the Yun family can practice their ancestral healing techniques, and the effects are remarkable, which are not much worse than the best healing techniques of the Medicine King Sect.
The Yun family was also quite ingenious. Even though they couldn't manipulate fire to refine the elixir, they had figured out a way to directly extract the medicinal juice and fuse it into a liquid medicine. Although the process was cumbersome, the finished product was inconvenient to carry, and it was difficult for the average person to learn, but once it could be made, the effect was no less than that of elixir.
The medicinal effect is even milder and will not accumulate in the human body and cause erysipelas.
After confirming that Yun Feimiao could perform healing techniques and blend medicinal liquids, Elder Danlu granted Yun Feimiao special permission to skip classes and gave him a set of "Compendium of Spiritual Plants of the Five Continents" and a book "Compendium of Counterfeit Pills".
Yun Feimiao widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the book at the back. How could an elder let his disciples read such a book?
"Don't be surprised, and don't be surprised either. Scammers have endless tricks up their sleeves. Only by knowing how they fabricate things can we avoid being fooled." Elder Danlu said seriously, "But while we can know these tricks, we can't actually use them to deceive or harm others. Otherwise, if the sect discovers them, the consequences will be the revocation of your cultivation and expulsion from the sect."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and couldn't help but stretch their necks to see what was written in the book "The Complete Guide to Counterfeit Pills".
Seeing this, Elder Danlu added, "This is the latest version of the book I just compiled. Since other disciples still need to attend classes, I'd like to trouble Junior-Junior Brother Yun to copy out two copies. I'll take one to the library, and leave one in the classroom for the other disciples to copy."
Yun Feimiao nodded. After all, copying books was a way to help with memory. With his memory, copying it twice should be enough to memorize it all.
He was just curious. Why did Elder Danlu write it down in such a simple way? Didn't the cultivation world prefer to use jade slips for inscriptions? That was more convenient for copying.
As for this method of writing directly without any spiritual power, people can only copy it in various ways.
Elder Danlu was very satisfied with the way Yun Feimiao copied the book obediently. He was even more satisfied when he saw the simple and beautiful pages written by Yun Feimiao.
After being satisfied, he turned his gaze to Xie Yang, asked a few questions, and looked at the pile of ugly things in front of Xie Yang. Elder Danlu's brows instantly frowned.
He circled around Xie Yang several times as if he was looking at something curious, but finally had no choice but to give up.
There was no way around it. His talent was zero, not just talk. Xie Yang was clearly capable of using fire to refine medicine. He was even familiar with various spiritual plants, able to clearly identify them and understand their medicinal properties.
But he just couldn't make the medicine!
It's just like Jian Cangfeng's apprentice brother Shen. He cooks according to the recipe step by step, but even dogs won't eat what he makes.
Elder Danlu looked at the pile of black and colorful powder in front of Xie Yang, and reluctantly scraped a little of it into his mouth, licking it again and again...
What can I say? It tastes pretty good!
It tastes sour and sweet, mixed with caramel and a light herbal aroma, as if it were fine candy that has been crushed into powder.
But is it candy he wants? He wants blood-stopping powder!
How did this guy take a handful of herbs and end up making powdered sugar that had no medicinal effect?
Is this the legendary taking the dross and discarding the essence?
It doesn't seem accurate to say so. After all, the remaining stuff is still quite delicious, and it's not appropriate to call it dregs.
Compared to some disciples who directly ruin the herbs, the ones this one refines are at least edible, right?
But it's still such a waste! How can we let all the medicinal properties evaporate?
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
