Lin Qian nodded, keeping 003's words firmly in mind.
"Lin Qian," the elder suddenly called on her, "you answer this: what is the main ingredient of the Qi Condensation Pill?"
Lin Qian's heart tightened, not expecting the elder to ask a question so suddenly. But she quickly calmed down, recalled the pill formula, and then answered loudly, "Replying to the elder, the main ingredient of the Qi Condensation Pill is Qi Condensation Grass."
"Hmm," the elder nodded, "Then tell me again, what are the medicinal properties of the Qi-Gathering Grass?"
Lin Qian was prepared and answered calmly, "The Qi-Gathering Grass is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and it enters the lung and liver meridians. It has the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing yin, moistening the lungs and relieving cough. In alchemy, the Qi-Gathering Grass is mainly used to gather spiritual power and enhance the effect of the pills."
Lin Qian explained the medicinal properties of the Qi-Gathering Grass in detail, with clear logic and thorough analysis, which impressed the other disciples. Lin Yao was so angry that her face turned pale. She had originally wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Lin Qian, but unexpectedly, Lin Qian shone in the spotlight instead.
The elder nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, it seems you have quite a bit of knowledge about alchemy."
Lin Qian humbly replied, "Elder, you flatter me. This disciple only knows a little bit about it."
"Yes," the elder said, "the path of alchemy requires diligence. Although you are of average talent, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will surely achieve something in time."
Li Xuanji withdrew his gaze and continued, "Refining Qi Condensation Pills is neither difficult nor easy. The most important thing is to understand and comprehend it with your heart." As he spoke, he took out a pill furnace from his storage bag.
"Today, I will demonstrate the process of refining Qi Condensation Pill to you on the spot."
Having said that, Elder Li Xuanji formed hand seals and cast a series of spells into the alchemy furnace. The furnace hummed and roared with flames at its bottom, yet not a trace of heat escaped.
Lin Qian stared intently at Li Xuanji's every move, afraid of missing any detail. She noticed that Li Xuanji's technique was extremely precise when adding the medicinal herbs; the timing and order of adding each herb were perfectly controlled, without the slightest deviation.
"Is this the fire control technique of a Golden Core cultivator?" Lin Qian sighed inwardly, knowing full well that there was still a great gap between herself and these true alchemy masters.
While refining the pills, Li Xuanji explained the key points of pill refining. Lin Qian listened very attentively, not daring to miss a single detail.
"In the path of alchemy, the greatest taboo is being impatient for quick success. One must calm the mind and concentrate the spirit, so that the heart and fire are in harmony, in order to refine the best pills." Li Xuanji's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it carried a magical power, which calmed Lin Qian's mind and dispelled all distracting thoughts.
Before we knew it, an hour had passed.
"Rise!" Li Xuanji shouted in a low voice, and the lid of the alchemy furnace opened with a "bang," releasing a rich aroma of medicine.
"It's done!" Lin Qian was overjoyed, her eyes fixed on the alchemy furnace.
Inside the alchemy furnace lay three round and plump pills, their surfaces gleaming with a soft luster, clearly indicating that they were top-grade pills.
"Is this the Qi Condensation Pill?" Lin Qian was extremely excited. This was the first time she had ever seen a successfully refined pill with her own eyes.
Li Xuanji casually waved his hand, and three pills flew to Lin Qian's front. "Take one and try it."
Lin Qian was flattered and quickly reached out to take the pill, her heart filled with doubt. Why would this elder give her such a precious pill?
Lin Qian put the Qi Condensation Pill into her mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and a warm spiritual energy spread throughout her body. She felt her spiritual energy rapidly recovering, and her body became lighter.
"The effects of this Qi Condensation Pill are truly amazing!" Lin Qian exclaimed inwardly.
The other disciples looked at Lin Qian with envy, also hoping to gain the elder's approval and obtain such a precious elixir.
