Yun Zhan ate three in a row, and was still not quite satisfied.
When he was the God Emperor, he also ate a lot of delicious food.
Besides alchemy and cultivation, his greatest hobby is making all kinds of delicious food.
He also has an elegant title: the gourmet of the cultivation world.
He was once very proud of it.
But after coming to Miss Bai's place, he realized that he was a frog in a well.
He would never dare to accept such a refined title again.
One should always be humble.
“There’s more,” Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss Bai, that's enough." Yun Zhan praised without reservation, "I never expected that the Crimson Jade Fruit could be made this way. Miss Bai is truly amazing."
Bai Qingqing smiled and waved her hand, saying that this was nothing at all.
Blue Star China features eight major cuisines and various snacks.
If you eat a different dish every day, you can guarantee that you won't repeat any dishes for two or three years.
"Did you refine all of these?" Bai Qingqing asked, looking at the dozens of bottles and jars densely packed on the table.
"Yes." Yun Zhan scratched his head sheepishly, "To be honest, I'm still unable to meet Miss Bai's requirements."
Bai Qingqing picked out a few bottles, opened them and looked at them, then looked at Yun Zhan: "You've already refined so much, tell me about your refining experience today."
Yun Zhan was overjoyed and quickly nodded, "Okay."
Miss Bai is about to give him some pointers.
Yun Zhan hurriedly explained everything he was thinking, and then looked at Bai Qingqing with anticipation.
He personally felt that he spoke very well.
He spoke even better and in more detail than when he was the Pill Emperor at the Pill Conference.
but……
Bai Qingqing hesitated for a moment: "Not bad."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhan's hair drooped down strand by strand.
Although it was expected.
But I still feel a little sad.
He was really serious and tried very hard, but it still didn't work.
Seeing Yun Zhan's dejected look, Bai Qingqing comforted him, "It's not your fault. There's a problem with the alchemy tradition in this world. It's understandable that you can't grasp it right away."
Being diligent in studying and reading is often a good thing.
However, when the knowledge in those books is wrong, diligent study becomes a hindrance.
The more you know, the more constraints you face.
They tend to get stuck on minor details.
"Let me ask you a few questions," Bai Qingqing said after thinking for a moment.
"Please speak, Miss Bai." Yun Zhan suppressed his disappointment and looked up at Bai Qingqing earnestly.
"Tell me about this herb in your eyes." Bai Qingqing casually picked up the remaining wood spirit rock on the table, which was the herb that Yun Zhan had been refining all day.
"Wood Spirit Rock, its effect is to soothe irritable spiritual energy. Its outer skin is as hard as rock, and it takes a lot of fire to refine it," Yun Zhan said without hesitation.
"Would you like to hear my interpretation?" Bai Qingqing asked.
Yun Zhan nodded.
"The Wood Spirit Rock, the fruit of the Wood Spirit Vine, grows in the hot and arid desert. It takes ten years to flower, ten years to bear fruit, and ten years to ripen."
"The ripening period is only three days. If it is not picked within three days, it will feed back to the roots after three days."
"Therefore, it not only has the effect of soothing violent spiritual energy, but also the function of circulating it, although it is not strong and can only be used to expel poison."
"The outer skin of the Muling Rock is hard, and it cannot be damaged in the slightest by knives or axes."
"Refining with fire is just as time-consuming and laborious."
"However, the Wood Spirit Rock has another characteristic: it is afraid of water."
"If a mature Wood Spirit Rock encounters a heavy rain, its outer shell will become thin and soft, and it will melt when exposed to fire."
"The outer shell after being soaked in water can be easily burned into nothingness without releasing any extra impurities, which greatly saves time and effort during refining."
"The seeds are poisonous and cannot be used in medicine; they need to be removed directly."
...
Bai Qingqing rested her chin on her hand, speaking slowly and deliberately, her voice clear and melodious, as if possessing a kind of magic that captivated Yun Zhan.
Even after Bai Qingqing finished speaking, Yun Zhan remained in a daze for a long time.
Bai Qingqing didn't disturb him, but simply sat to the side and waited quietly.
I waited for about 15 minutes.
Yun Zhan finally came to his senses, and his eyes became clear and bright again.
"Miss Bai's words have enlightened me."
Bai Qingqing smiled and waved her hand, asking, "What have you been thinking about?"
"To refine good elixirs, one must first have a comprehensive understanding of the herbs, their growing environment, and the characteristics of each part, so that they can be purified precisely."
"The second step is to understand its medicinal properties in different environments and select the appropriate one."
Yun Zhan's eyes shone as he spoke.
He spent his entire life as a god-emperor, refining countless elixirs, only to realize today that he had chosen the wrong path.
And it's ridiculously wrong.
Fortunately, he has now realized that it's not too late to start over.
Under Miss Bai's tutelage, he will surely become a qualified alchemist.
"Not bad." Bai Qingqing nodded in satisfaction.
Young Master Yun is very clever and understands things quickly, but he has read too many books on alchemy before and needs to gradually forget them.
"Miss Bai, I would like to go deep into the mountains," Yun Zhan said.
"Do you want to personally observe the environment and characteristics of those herbs?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Yes." Yun Zhan nodded.
“Actually, it’s not necessary,” Bai Qingqing said. “Although immersing yourself in it can help you understand it more deeply, it’s also time-consuming and laborious.”
"What Miss Bai means is..."
"One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade." Bai Qingqing said, "Since our predecessors have paved the right path, we don't need to open up another one. We can just follow this path, which saves time and effort. Of course, we also have a task: to improve and expand this path."
“Miss Bai is absolutely right; I was narrow-minded.” Yun Zhan nodded repeatedly. “But…”
Not only in this world, but also in the advanced world he was in before his reincarnation, the path of alchemy is similar and interconnected.
He had never discovered any so-called "predecessors".
How then do we follow in the footsteps of those who came before us?
"Here you go." Bai Qingqing took out a bound booklet and handed it to Yun Zhan.
Yun Zhan took it and glanced at it, but couldn't figure out what it was about.
Because the booklet had no cover, it was completely clean.
"This is..." Yun Zhan said, opening the booklet and standing up excitedly. "This is... this is the complete guide to medicinal herbs?"
"Complete Explanation of Herbs?" Bai Qingqing smiled, resting her chin on her hand. "That's a good name. We can add it later."
"Did Miss Bai write this?" Yun Zhan was trying hard to control himself, but he was still so excited that he trembled a little.
Bai Qingqing nodded: "Although this only contains a small part, I think it should be enough for you to study for a while, so I'll give it to you."
"You gave it to me?" Yun Zhan's voice trembled slightly.
"Yes, after all, you're my teaching assistant."
