This is typical nonsense from outsiders. Everyone knows that there are very few alchemists left in the world, one in ten thousand, simply because alchemy requires internal strength, and very few people can cultivate gentle internal strength.
Refining a batch of pills can take anywhere from a few hours to several months, requiring constant attention and sleepless nights.
It's not that easy! Do you really think it's like wholesaling cabbages?
Xie Li looked bewildered: "Is it that difficult? Twenty pills per batch, five repetitions are enough."
Pharmacist Chen and Wu Jiang quickly exchanged a glance, both with disbelief in their eyes.
Wu Jiang: "You're exaggerating your abilities more and more, who would believe you?"
It's important to know that even the top alchemists only achieve a record of 80% success rate per batch of alchemy.
This is even if all the basic pills are included.
Pharmacist Chen frowned. To be honest, he found it hard to believe, but a voice in his heart told him that Xie Li was telling the truth.
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door of the alchemy room. It turned out that the medicinal herbs Xie Li had requested were ready and he was invited to go to the herb forest to select them.
The topic was dropped, and Xie Li hurriedly followed.
This Chinese medicine base has a fairly complete range of medicinal materials, with only a few rare ones missing, such as the Sacred Heart Fruit, which this Chinese medicine base claims it has never collected before.
However, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. Just thinking that the medicinal herbs here are free and can be exchanged for with merit points makes Xie Li very happy.
After she finished selecting her items and came out to collect her merit points, Pharmacist Chen hurriedly approached her: "Miss Xie Li, the old man has woken up and wants to see you."

Inside a tea house.
Ding Huizhu rarely had time to spend with her brother, and the two slowly discussed Xie Ziyuan and Xie Zian.
"Ziyuan's birthday is coming soon. After all, it's her eighteenth birthday, and I hope to celebrate it in a grand way," Ding Ruoxu said, gently setting down his teacup.
Ding Huizhu hesitated: "But the old man's health isn't very good right now, and Brother Du isn't here. Is it really appropriate to hold such a grand birthday banquet at this time?"
Ding Huizhu's original plan was to take Xie Zi'an directly to the capital to celebrate Xie Ziyuan's birthday.
She could book the diamond suite at the Rose Hotel, the most luxurious seven-star hotel in Beijing, and also host a banquet for Xie Ziyuan's mentors and teachers to celebrate Xie Ziyuan's birthday, giving Xie Ziyuan the utmost respect.
She couldn't possibly mistreat her daughter.
Ding Ruoxu was somewhat displeased upon hearing this: "In previous years, Ziyuan's birthday was always celebrated in a grand manner. This year, during such a sensitive period, she has become low-key. What will outsiders think of Ziyuan?"
"Outsiders will only say that if she's not their biological child, then she's not their biological child. The Xie family really doesn't value Ziyuan. When the gossip starts, it will all be about Ziyuan. Won't you feel bad?"
Ding Huizhu was naturally heartbroken; the thought of those rumors made her feel a little reluctant to speak out.
"Okay, let's proceed as usual," Ding Huizhu said with a smile.
Anyway, organizing Xie Ziyuan's birthday party was something she was already familiar with and used to doing. This year she had prepared a simplified process, but now it seems that won't work, and she has to pick up the process from previous years.
Ding Ruoxu: "No, we can't do it like we always have. It has to be even more grand than in previous years."
Ding Huizhu was taken aback.
Ding Ruoxu's expression remained unchanged, as refined as ever, as he looked up at Ding Huizhu amidst the rising steam of tea.
“Didn’t you say you only recognize Ziyuan as your daughter? Then let’s make Ziyuan’s birthday a grand affair, so that everyone knows that the one who came back can’t replace Ziyuan.”
