Chapter 16: Refining Dantian Miasma Eliminating Pill
"I was just bullied so badly that it triggered my anger." She took the demon pill and said calmly, "By the way, I'll return the Night Pearl from yesterday, and your detoxification pill."
Nie Hengzhou took the night-shining pearl and the detoxification pill.
Seeing that there was nothing else useful in the cave, the two men walked out of the cave and prepared to return to the city.
Along the way, Gu Liyue clearly felt Nie Hengzhou's low mood, and felt that it must be related to the illusion he experienced last night.
She just hurried on her way silently, trying not to talk to him. She also had no obligation to comfort him, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
After entering the city gate, the two parted ways. Gu Liyue went all the way back to the Gu family. Not noticing anyone staring at her, she went straight to the courtyard where she lived.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Aunt Yu coming to greet me: "Miss, you are back."
"Aunt Yu, I've got all the spiritual herbs. I want to take a bath. Have you arranged everything else for me?"
"It's all arranged."
"Please help me find some spiritual herbs for refining the fasting pills. I will use them to practice my skills first."
"Okay, hot water is ready, go take a shower first."
Gu Liyue walked towards the bathroom while talking to Aunt Yu.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that the food was already on the table, and she couldn't help but sigh at Aunt Yu's thoughtfulness.
After finishing her meal, Gu Liyue looked at Aunt Yu and asked, "Is there a place in this courtyard where I can make elixirs?"
"There is a vacant room in the west wing. As long as it's not disturbed, it should be able to be used for alchemy." Aunt Yu looked at her worriedly, "Miss, do you really not want to find the family alchemist to refine it?"
"Well, I want to try it myself. I'll refine the Bigu Pill first. Aunt Yu, please take out the alchemy furnace and alchemy book left by my mother." Gu Liyue patted Aunt Yu's hand and looked into her eyes. "Aunt Yu, don't worry. If I fail to refine it, I will leave two spiritual herbs and find someone to help me refine it later."
Gu Liyue pretended to take out a bag of spirit stones from the room and handed it to Aunt Yu: "Here are 50,000 spirit stones. See if you can rent a small courtyard in the city for two or three months."
Aunt Yu was surprised and asked, "Miss, do you want to move out?"
"Be prepared first, I might be kicked out one day."
Aunt Yu thought with relief: The young lady has really grown up. From now on, I just need to listen to her and do things accordingly.
She went to do her business, and Gu Liyue slowly walked to the west wing, where she saw the spiritual herbs, alchemy furnace, and alchemy books that Aunt Yu had prepared for her.
She walked in. The room was quite spacious, with a desk and two chairs in one corner, and an alchemy furnace and a low table on the other.
She sat at her desk, carefully watching the process of refining the Qigong Pill. She watched it twice and placed the spiritual herbs needed in order on the low table next to the pill furnace.
She took a deep breath and recalled the contents of Dan's book in her mind.
She mobilized the strange fire and flicked a strange fire under the alchemy furnace with her fingertips. After watching the furnace burn red, she began to put spiritual herbs into it. She constantly controlled the temperature of the strange fire with her fingertips.
After putting the spiritual herbs in, she took a look. Fortunately, the spiritual herbs were slowly dissolving, but there seemed to be some impurities. She raised the temperature of the strange fire, closed the lid, and refined the spiritual herbs.
Finally, it was time to make the pill. She opened the furnace and smelled a medicinal fragrance, but what she saw was not the pill, but a pool of sticky liquid.
It failed, probably at the pill-forming stage, because the temperature of the strange fire was too low.
She did it again, and this time she paid attention to raising the temperature of the strange fire a little during the pill-forming stage.
When I opened the furnace, I smelled a burnt smell.
There is some black powder inside. Alas, it must be because the temperature is too high.
Gu Liyue encouraged herself, "Try again!" She still didn't believe it, she felt that she could do it.
The successive failures only aroused her competitive spirit.
When the third furnace was opened, a medicinal fragrance wafted to her face. She couldn't wait to look into the furnace and found three round pills inside.
Finally succeeded!
She took the jade bottle prepared by Aunt Yu and put the three pills in it, thinking about making another batch.
So the fourth furnace was started, and this time five were produced.
She looked at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon. She estimated that Gu Yaoyao would not come to bother her today. She planned to take a rest and then prepare to refine the Dantian Miasma Elimination Pill.
She had used the strange fire excessively and felt a little tired, so she entered the space and drank a few sips of the spiritual spring water.
He took out the method of refining the Dantian Miasma-Removing Pill and looked at it again and again.
After resting enough, she left the space and went to the main house. She saw Aunt Yu preparing dinner and saw her leave the west wing.
He reported to her about what he had done on the street today, and returned the remaining 30,000 spirit stones to Gu Liyue.
Gu Liyue asked her to keep it first.
She handed the Bigu Pill she had made today to Aunt Yu and said, "Aunt Yu, this is the Bigu Pill I made this afternoon. Can you take a look at it and see how it looks?"
"This was made by the young lady! Let me see." Aunt Yu took the pill happily. To be honest, Aunt Yu did not believe that someone without spiritual power could make pills, but she knew that her young lady was not an ordinary person, so she had great hope.
As soon as she opened the bottle cap, she smelled a medicinal fragrance. She poured another pill into her hand and took a closer look. She saw that the pill was brown and round in shape. Although it was a low-level pill, its quality was quite good.
"It's of good quality." She nodded, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She wanted to encourage the young lady, but was also worried that she would not be able to refine the Dantian Miasma Elimination Pill, which would waste the spiritual herbs, delay the young lady's detoxification, and make her journey on the path of cultivation even more difficult.
After a pause, he continued, "It's just that, Miss, the Dantian Miasma Elimination Pill is not any better than the low-level Bigu Pill!"
Then he returned the Qigong Pill to Gu Liyue.
Gu Liyue looked at Aunt Yu's conflicted expression and comforted her, "It's okay, I'll be careful."
As she spoke, Gu Liyue walked towards the west wing, with Aunt Yu following behind her.
When they reached the door of the west wing, Aunt Yu said, "I'll be guarding outside, you can concentrate on refining the elixir."
Gu Liyue nodded and walked into the west wing, closing the door. She took a deep breath. This Dantian Miasma-Removing Pill used more than a dozen more spiritual herbs than the Bigu Pill, required a longer time to refine, and had several more spells, making it more complicated and difficult to remember.
She reviewed the entire process in her mind, and after making sure nothing was missed, she began.
Gu Liyue calculated in her mind that she had a total of six fire lotus seeds, which could be used to refine a maximum of six furnaces of Dantian Miasma-Removing Pills. She planned to keep the spiritual herbs for two furnaces. If she failed to refine the pills, she could only refine a maximum of four furnaces.
She strictly followed her mother's notes in the alchemy book to refine the elixir. She popped out the strange fire, then slowly put in the spiritual herbs, gradually heating up the strange fire and tempering the spiritual herbs until they turned into medicinal liquid and then entered the stage of making the elixir.
She knew that the temperature and time must be well controlled during this stage.
She recalled the alchemy book and carefully controlled the strange fire.
It's finally time to open the furnace.
The pill didn't form, it seemed that some of the spiritual herbs inside were not fully refined.
Gu Liyue looked at the uneven pill, she took it in her hand and broke it open, took out the large particles inside, smelled them, and she thought they should be fire lotus seeds.
Do I have to put the fire lotus seeds in first to increase the quenching time?
Knowing the reason, Gu Liyue started refining the second furnace with great interest.
Before putting all the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace, she put the fire lotus seeds into the furnace first.
It’s almost time to start the furnace and make the elixir.
