Chapter 409 Precious Medicinal Materials
She has been learning alchemy since she was young, and has collected many precious medicinal materials and several alchemy furnaces in recent years. However, when she suddenly saw so many treasures, including some medicinal materials that she had been looking for for a long time but had never found, Ning Xuan was still quite shocked.
Fu Rong gently patted Ning Xuan's shoulder and said, "Of course, you can use everything here freely during the competition. Come, I'll take you to see some of the more precious and valuable medicinal herbs."
Ning Xuan nodded and followed Fu Rong to the first crystal cabinet.
A snow-white Ganoderma lucidum lay quietly in the cabinet, its surface covered with a layer of crystal frost, emitting a hint of coldness even at room temperature.
"This is a thousand-year-old snow Ganoderma lucidum, which grows on the glaciers in the far north. It is very rare. It is said that many people have sacrificed their lives in search of this Ganoderma lucidum." Fu Rong lowered her voice a few degrees.
"This snow ganoderma is indeed hundreds of years old. It would be perfect for refining into medicinal pills." Ning Xuan looked at the snow ganoderma with excitement in her eyes.
The Nine-Turn Holy Healing Pill that she was preparing to refine was still lacking a main ingredient. This thousand-year-old snow ganoderma was very suitable as the main ingredient for the Nine-Turn Holy Healing Pill. Since she could take it away as long as the pill could be refined within these three hours, she would not be polite.
Ning Xuan reached out and took out the thousand-year-old snow ganoderma.
Fu Rong's face changed when she saw Ning Xuan's actions. "What are you doing with it? Put it back quickly."
"Didn't you say I can choose any medicinal herbs I want? I plan to use it to refine pills." Ning Xuan grabbed the thousand-year-old snow ganoderma lucidum and had no intention of letting it go. Instead, she spoke in an innocent tone.
"Hehe, Master Fu, since she doesn't appreciate it, why bother to persuade her? You just want to take advantage of her without even considering whether you have the ability to do so." Lan Shuiyu sneered from behind.
"Blame me, blame me, Ning Xuan. I just told you that you can use these herbs at will, and you can take them away after refining them into pills. There are some special circumstances that I haven't told you yet. The cabinets in this row are all filled with herbs that are thousands of years old. They are extremely rare and precious. Because of their high value, if you use them and can refine them into pills, of course you can take them away. But if you fail, the herbs will be wasted in vain, and you will need to compensate according to the price. Look at the prices in the bottom row. These are sky-high prices. If you damage one, you will have to sell it to the association in your next life." Fu Rong explained to Ning Xuan anxiously.
Although the Alchemist Association is wealthy, if those relatively common medicinal materials are wasted, then they are wasted. If these precious treasures are wasted, it would be too distressing.
Therefore, the purpose of these precious treasures is just to be displayed here, and no one has ever really set their sights on these medicinal herbs.
Because the older the medicinal material is, the greater the energy it contains, it is naturally very troublesome to sort out and refine it. If you are not careful, the energy will riot, destroying the medicinal properties and thus ruining the medicinal material.
"Don't worry, Sister Fu Rong. I know it's very difficult to process medicinal herbs of this age. Don't worry, I won't fail." Ning Xuan said confidently, and by the way, put the thousand-year-old snow ganoderma into the space button specially used for her exam.
In order to prevent cheating and strengthen management, all candidates can only carry this one space button.
"Ning Xuan, this is not a joke. I have been a master of alchemy for more than 40 years, and I can only process medicinal herbs that are less than 500 years old. This is a thousand-year-old medicinal herb, precious and rare. Don't make a big mistake because of a momentary impulse. It will be too late to regret it then." Fu Rong was really anxious and tried hard to persuade Ning Xuan to take out the medicinal herb.
"I'll look at something else. If there's something more suitable for me than this one, I'll let it go." Ning Xuan said this simply because she didn't want to listen to Fu Rong's nagging and perfunctory excuses.
However, when she turned her head and looked to the side, she saw a fist-sized red fruit placed in the adjacent cabinet. "Sister Fu Rong, look, what is that red medicinal herb? Is it the Red Flame Fruit?"
Ning Xuan pointed at the fruit with golden lines on its surface, her eyes sparkling.
"It's the Red Flame Fruit. Legend has it that it only grows deep in the magma of a volcano. Look at the golden lines on its surface. They are flowing. In fact, they are formed by the accumulation of natural energy." Fu Rong introduced to Ning Xuan.
Seeing Ning Xuan's interest, Fu Rong carefully opened the cabinet door, and felt a wave of heat immediately surge out. Ning Xuan could feel a burning breath, but strangely, the heat did not make her feel uncomfortable, but instead gave her a sense of familiarity.
"Don't touch it. Direct contact with the Red Flame Fruit will burn your meridians. Don't touch it." After Fu Rong finished speaking, she closed the cabinet door herself and pulled Ning Xuan to the next precious medicinal herb.
As they continued walking, Ning Xuan's attention was drawn to a ginseng-like herb, completely black. Its roots were coiled like a dragon, and its crown was crowned with three silvery-white leaves, each emitting a faint glow.
"This is Netherworld Ginseng," Fu Rong explained before Ning Xuan could ask. "It grows on ancient battlefields or mass graves where yin energy is extremely strong, absorbing the soul power of the dead. It's one of the main ingredients in refining the Life-Extending Pill, and it can repair damaged souls."
Ning Xuan looked at the Netherworld Ginseng and really wanted to take it away, but she was not familiar with the recipe of the Life-Extending Pill. She really didn't know how to refine and use this rare and precious treasure.
These precious treasures were only displayed in one row of cabinets. After Fu Rong took Ning Xuan around to look around, Ning Xuan fell in love with several more medicinal herbs.
Not only did she have no intention of putting the thousand-year-old snow ganoderma back, she was even thinking about how many batches of pills she needed to make?
"Ning Xuan, let's go and take a look at the alchemy furnace." Fu Rong said to Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan nodded and followed Fu Rong inside. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a furnace in the distance. The furnace was dark blue in color, with a simple shape. Intricate cloud patterns were carved into the furnace, and a faint glow shone through it.
"This is Qingmang. It looks extraordinary, right? This alchemy furnace has a long history and the energy conduction is very sensitive, so it is difficult to control and can easily explode." Fu Rong explained.
Ning Xuan nodded perfunctorily. In fact, her attention had been attracted by a gorgeous alchemy furnace in front of her. The furnace was golden all over, and there were nine phoenixes with spread wings carved on the lid. The eyes of each phoenix were inlaid with rubies, which sparkled brightly under the light and was very beautiful.
"That's the 'Nine Phoenixes Rising Sun Furnace,'" Fu Rong introduced, following her gaze. "It's suitable for fire-attribute spirit controllers. Fire-attribute spirit controllers can use this furnace to refine fire-attribute pills, which can increase the success rate of refining pills by about 20%. However, it requires a high level of spiritual power from the controller, and the furnace will explode if you're not careful." Fu Rong explained diligently again.
