Chapter 82 The More the Better
After following the instructors to land on the top of the mountain, Zhou Ruomu stepped forward to greet the two instructors, and then led a large group of people to the classroom.
This lecture room was really big, four times the size of their previous one.
This time, each student had a table, and on each table was a jade box containing a flower of earth fire, prepared for the students to use. The spiritual herbs were all placed on the podium in the classroom.
Instructor Heng asked everyone to find a seat.
"I've previously explained the techniques for refining the Bigu Pill and the Detoxification Pill, as well as the proper timing. I'm sure you all have some idea of what they are. Let's put them into practice today.
Take your time, don't worry, Senior Brother Zhou and I will be watching over you, and you can ask any questions you have."
Instructor Fu interjected, "Now, take out the alchemy furnace you brought with you and place it on the table. This table is specially made and can be used as an alchemy platform."
Gu Liyue took out the alchemy furnace that she had used to make the first elixir.
"Next, come and get the spiritual herbs according to the recipe. Line up."
Instructor Fu watched them pick the spiritual herbs one by one and gave them some pointers from time to time.
When she got to Gu Liyue, she asked, "Teacher Fu, can I only get the spiritual herbs for refining one furnace of elixirs this time?"
Instructor Fu replied, "Today, how much can you refine? We have spiritual herbs here. You can take some first and come back for more when you're done."
Gu Liyue confirmed, "One day? I wonder if the spiritual herbs stored at Tongming Peak are enough?"
Teacher Fu: “…” Didn’t she see that the field full of spiritual herbs was a medicinal field?
Instructor Heng came over and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you."
Zhou Ruomu frowned upon hearing this. He felt something was amiss, but then he thought, the spiritual herbs used to make Bigu Pills and ordinary detoxification pills are relatively common, so there should be enough for them! Every freshman class has this allotment, so just follow the rules.
Gu Liyue asked weakly again, "Can I take the elixirs I made with me?"
Instructor Heng nodded and said, "Okay."
After answering, his right eye twitched unconsciously. He thought of Gu Liyue, who always performed beyond his imagination, and felt a little uneasy.
Xiao Ju followed her and asked, "Liyue, how many furnaces do you want to refine?"
After hearing what her instructor said, Gu Liyue had an idea in her mind. Of course, the more she practiced, the better.
He said calmly, "Let's try refining it."
At this moment, Yin Rutang walked in. Zhou Ruomu was puzzled. Normally, when he assigned this Fifth Junior Sister work, she would always try to shirk it, but why was she so eager today? And she was wearing such a gorgeous, wide, long skirt. Wasn't she afraid of getting burned? It was obvious from her attire that she wasn't here for work.
"Fifth Junior Sister, why are you here?"
"Big Brother, I'm here to see if there's anything I can help with."
Zhou Ruomu said calmly, "Please help guide these new students in alchemy."
Yin Rutang said obediently: "Okay."
Gu Liyue took out a small bamboo basket from her Qiankun bag and picked spiritual herbs on the podium. She picked enough to make five furnaces.
When Professor Heng saw her pick up a frame, even though it wasn't big, his mouth twitched.
Return to your seat.
Teacher Fu saw that everyone had taken the spiritual herbs and said, "Okay, place the spiritual herbs in the order they are to be put into the furnace, use the spiritual power in the jade box to take out the earth fire, and then you can make the elixir."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Liyue placed the earth fire at the bottom of the alchemy furnace. She placed the small basket of spiritual herbs directly on the table. When she took the spiritual herbs just now, she took them in order, so there was no need to adjust the order.
She felt that this earth fire should be different from her own strange fire, so she tested the temperature.
She began to refine the medicine. Because it was not the strange fire she was used to, she was very careful with every step. She used her spiritual sense to check the status of the spiritual herbs in the furnace, and then carefully recorded the time.
So she didn't refine the first furnace very quickly, even slower than Xiao Ju.
"Liyue, is this your second furnace?"
"No, this is the first batch."
"What's wrong with you? Even slower than me?"
Gu Liyue whispered, "This doesn't mean we're not familiar with each other!"
Yin Rutang had been keeping an eye on Gu Liyue. When he saw her suddenly take out a small basket of spiritual herbs, he was shocked. It seemed that she was an expert in alchemy.
Looking at her first batch of pills, she wasn't refining very fast, and she was constantly recording something, looking very cautious. It turned out that she was just putting on a show to scare people!
She walked over to Gu Liyue and said, "Others take a whole furnace of spiritual herbs, but you took so many. If you can't use them all later, others will say you're wasting spiritual herbs."
Gu Liyue glanced at her and said, "Uncle Yin, I won't waste the spiritual herbs." I was worried that there weren't enough spiritual herbs!
"That's what you said. I'll keep an eye on it." Yin Rutang said, "Here, you can't take spiritual herbs away. You can only take them away after they've been refined into elixirs."
Xiao Ju looked at Yin Rutang's aggressive look and knew that she was deliberately saying something bad about Gu Liyue. He secretly cheered for Gu Liyue.
Gu Liyue put the pill into a porcelain bottle and ignored her. She carefully looked at the time she had recorded, put the notebook away, and continued refining.
This time, her speed increased. When Xiao Ju finished refining the second batch, he saw two bottles in front of her. Xiao Ju asked, "Which batch is this?"
Gu Liyue said nonchalantly, "The fourth furnace."
Xiao Ju deliberately said loudly: "The fourth batch! So fast, didn't you say it wasn't cooked yet?"
Gu Liyue didn't stop working, and took the time to glance at him: "You weren't familiar with using the Earth Fire the first time, but you got familiar with it the second time."
Xiao Ju scratched his shaved head with his hand and looked at her as if she were a monster: "You can still do this."
Su He on the other side came over: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ju said, "Gu Liyue has already refined to the fourth furnace, and little brother, how about you?"
Su He: "I'm only on my second furnace. Gu Liyue is so fast, I hope you don't use up all the spiritual herbs in Tongming Peak!"
Yin Rutang looked over and said, "Student, are you kidding? The spiritual herbs from Tongming Peak are used by the entire academy!"
After a while, Gu Liyue put away the fourth porcelain bottle and carried the empty basket to the podium to get the spiritual herbs.
Yin Rutang glanced at Gu Liyue. She had just been observing Gu Liyue and found that she was refining the elixir as smoothly as flowing water. She estimated that her success rate was not low.
It seems that the pills in Linglong Pharmacy are most likely made by her.
Yin Rutang stared at Gu Liyue intently, having never imagined she was so formidable. Thinking that Tongming Summit would have a new junior sister who would surpass him in alchemy, he felt uncomfortable.
Seeing how good Gu Liyue was at refining pills, she subconsciously thought that Gu Liyue would choose to further her cultivation in alchemy.
With such a high level of alchemy skills at such a young age, she would definitely be accepted as a direct disciple by her master. Since she had been so against her before, her future life would be difficult. Her mind was in turmoil.
Gu Liyue, who was assigned to advanced training courses, was currently on the podium as she had run out of spiritual herbs.
