In half a day, Zhu Yi and Wei Weiwei had already drunk several pots of tea.
While she was at it, Zhu Yi also took the opportunity to research the antidote for zombie poison, the Yin-Melting Pill.
Among the cultivation manuals that Master Yujing gave Zhu Yi was a book called "Collection of Elixir Formulas for Saving the World." Zhu Yi's current alchemy level is not high, and she can only refine some minor elixirs.
As Zhu Yi flipped through the book, she felt that this alchemy formula was somewhat unusual, as it was different from the alchemy methods and ingredients she had learned in the original work.
It looks very high-end.
Frustratingly, the intermediate-level Yin-Melting Pill that Zhu Yi can currently refine is not enough to completely cure the corpse poison in Xue Shan's body.
"Sister Shanshan took two royal-grade pills before. Although the medicine was not suitable for her condition, it was still able to suppress some of the corpse poison." Zhu Yi drew on the paper, frowning as she thought about the appropriate pill formula for Xue Shanshan.
Wei Weiwei watched with envy: she suddenly felt that her previous cultivation at the Hehuan Sect had been a waste, and she hadn't learned anything...
"Junior Sister, is it difficult to learn alchemy?" Wei Weiwei asked, thinking that it wouldn't be bad for her to learn how to refine some pills herself.
"How so?" Zhu Yi replied when she had a moment, "It just requires more patience to understand the properties of medicinal herbs and the symptoms, and then to prescribe the right medicine and put it in the stove to burn."
Zhu Yi put down the alchemy preset form she had written and said seriously to Wei Weiwei, "If you are interested and want to learn alchemy, then why don't you try it yourself? No matter how eloquently I explain it, you can't truly understand it. Why don't you go and learn it for yourself?"
Wei Weiwei was somewhat tempted, so Zhu Yi simply found her an introductory book for beginner alchemists and handed it to her: "Here, take a look at it yourself, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything."
Zhu Yi was a little happy. She loved being a little teacher. The content for beginner alchemists wasn't difficult. If Weiwei had any questions, she could ask her and she could review the basics.
"Thank you, junior sister! You know so much, I'm so envious!" Wei Weiwei blushed slightly as she took the book and started studying as well.
After Xue Shan finished comprehending the secrets, Wei Weiwei was engrossed in watching, while Zhu Yi was fiddling with the medicinal herbs on the side.
"Junior Sister..." Xue Shan called out softly to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi looked up and smiled: "Sister Shanshan, what kind of treasure did you meet?"
"This red ribbon can bring you together." Xue Shan held a red ribbon in her hand, with small bells jingling. She then pulled out a thin red thread, which shimmered with golden light, and wrapped it around the wrists of the three people. It flashed three times and then turned into a ball of red spiritual energy that merged into their wrists.
"I just learned this, I'll give it a try. We should... have a sisterly bond, and we can also become friends." Xue Shan's voice was still a little stiff, and she could barely express her meaning clearly.
"We can use this in the future... to connect and sense each other, to form a divine bond... it should be more useful than the Jade Spirit Communicator."
Wei Weiwei was deeply moved and looked up from her book.
"We stumbled upon this place by accident, but we've gained so much!"
Wei Weiwei thought it wouldn't be bad to seriously study alchemy in the future.
Zhu Yi took some time to release the zombie leader and ground some of its teeth into fine powder.
The zombie leader, seemingly angry but unable to speak out, bared his teeth and occasionally threatened Zhu Yi to stay away, which amused the three sisters.
The third level was not difficult. Zhu Yi followed the map to a small hill. The hill was not high and had a gloomy appearance. It was hard to believe that this place was an abandoned medicinal garden.
"It's clearly written on the map. You can pass the level by refining a batch of pills using the herbs here." Zhu Yi was a little incredulous. Was the third level really that easy?
"Junior Sister, these herbs with heavy yin energy, can they be used for alchemy?" Wei Weiwei hesitated. She had just read an introductory book on alchemy, and the fire used for alchemy was yang fire, which did not match the eerie atmosphere of this place.
When the extremes of yin and yang collide, they instantly explode into ashes.
"Refining medicine is better than fighting a bunch of demons and monsters." Zhu Yi sighed. It's no wonder Wei Weiwei was worried. Among the three sisters who were going through the trials, only Zhu Yi knew how to refine medicine. She was just a useless intermediate-level alchemist, and her alchemy skills were not very advanced.
It's a bit too advanced for her to be exposed to things at the master-level alchemist level or above right now.
Zhu Yi walked up the hillside, took a small hoe, and squatted down to examine the medicinal herbs on the hillside carefully.
The small jade hoe just touched the gray-black medicinal roots, and the delicate herbs instantly turned into ashes, dissipating into the dark soil beneath its feet.
Zhu Yi and Wei Wei looked at each other, both seeing a deep headache in each other's eyes.
"If even the yang energy remaining on the jade hoe can't withstand it, how can these medicinal herbs be refined in the alchemy furnace where the yang fire is so strong?"
Zhu Yi put down the hoe, took out two futons and tossed one to Wei Weiwei, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the broad hillside.
Xue Shan stood silently to the side, worried: she simply couldn't fit her seat in the room.
"Take a break!" Zhu Yi said, relaxing. "The problem is too complicated. Think about it before you take action."
On the other side, Shangguan Wenqi finally couldn't bear to continue studying the questions he couldn't find the answers to.
Shen Hanfang found many precious spiritual plants in the Flower and Bird Realm, and she also dug up several precious iron stones that could be used to temper weapons.
Although Shen Hanfang couldn't see anything unusual about these things, she had a vague feeling that these black iron stones were not ordinary. The rich spiritual energy contained on them was something that ordinary iron stones didn't have. If she rested for a while and dug a little more, she might be able to find other treasures.
When Zhu Qianying saw Shen Hanfang return, she was happy to give Shangguan Wenqi a way out: "Senior Brother Shangguan, why don't you go and see if you can find anything good!"
Shangguan Wenqi was pleased with the girl's thoughtful expression, and he agreed, "Alright, with Junior Sister Shen back, she can keep you company. I'll be right back."
Zhu Qianying smiled as she saw Shangguan Wenqi off, then her gaze fell on Shen Hanfang's sweat-drenched forehead. She was displeased; it was just a few spiritual plants, why did she have to make herself look like this?
She didn't express it, but chatted with Shen Hanfang in a friendly manner.
"What is the Pacific Ocean?" Shen Hanfang asked with a puzzled look. There was no such place in the cultivation world.
I don't know why Zhu Qianying doesn't look for other treasures, but insists on stubbornly sticking to this peach tree. It's so boring.
See? Partners who come together for short-term gains are ultimately unreliable.
If Zhu Yi knew that Zhu Qianying's "little friend" was thinking this way, she would probably be so happy that her pill furnace would explode.
