"I believe that with your abilities, Miss Jane will not allow yourself to suffer. Although the world you described is currently facing some disasters, it will eventually pass; it's just a matter of time."
I see you've already formed your Golden Core. Your lifespan is at least five hundred years. If you add the spiritual herbs I taught you to refine, reaching the Great Ascension stage isn't out of the question. Perhaps many years from now, you can even ascend to immortality.”
Although Xiao Wuyu was physically disabled, he possessed a vast amount of knowledge, including weapon crafting, alchemy, and spirit imbuing.
There was nothing he wasn't proficient in. Unfortunately, he was framed and ended up in this isolated place.
He's still stuck here. He has no spirit stones, no materials, and all his skills are useless.
Now that Jian Ning has arrived and saved his life again, he's even considering passing on all his skills to her. Otherwise, he'll have regrets when he turns to dust in the future.
“Great! I also have a pill-refining furnace, although it's only a yellow-grade spiritual artifact. But that should be enough for beginners. I also have a lot of medicinal herbs in my storage bracelet. Shall we start by refining Bigu pills?”
I have lots of different flavored fruit juices here. Could you help me add them in? These fasting pills smell like stinky feet; they're really unpalatable.
"That's easy. Let's begin."
Xiao Wuyu smiled gently at Jian Ning. The taste of the Bigu Pill. To be honest, he didn't like it either, but he had never thought of changing its flavor.
Watching Jian Ning take out the medicine cauldron, Zhu Yu grass, white juice, Danmu fruit, and turtle meat from her storage bracelet.
I also got some apple, watermelon, banana, and pomegranate juices—they were vibrant in color and tasted great. I also got two large bottles of fresh milk; adding them will definitely improve the taste considerably.
Watching Jian Ning keep pulling out various bottles, Xiao Wuyu curiously picked one up and looked at it. The bottles were all written in simplified Chinese characters, and some were even in foreign languages, which he couldn't understand at all.
"Is this your writing system? It seems very difficult to understand. How could this container be made so exquisitely? The craftsmanship is already at its peak, but why is there no spiritual energy fluctuation on it? Could it not be a magic artifact?"
Jian Ning smiled as she looked at the glass bottle of pomegranate juice in his hand.
"This is not a crafted artifact; it's machine-made. It's just ordinary glass with a special process applied to it. It has no value whatsoever; it's only good for holding things and has no other purpose."
If you like it, I'll give it all to you after I use up the juice. Oh, and you can use it as a vase; it looks quite nice.
"Thank you." Xiao Wuyu had never seen these things before, so his curiosity was understandable.
But now is not the time to talk about these things.
With a wave of his hand, the alchemy furnace gently floated in front of him.
Then he said to Jian Ning, "I believe you have learned the simple alchemy techniques, so I will not start from the very basics."
To refine high-quality pills, the quality of the medicinal materials is very important, but the technique of controlling the fire must also be mastered.
It requires a great deal of experience in alchemy and cannot be achieved overnight.
I have a set of hand techniques here; please study them carefully.
After preheating the alchemy furnace with his spiritual energy, he waved his hand, and a bright yellow flame emerged from his fingertip. Jian Ning had never seen a flame of this color before; he guessed it was a kind of exotic fire.
Because its flames felt even hotter to her than red fire.
As soon as they stepped outside, the air inside the treehouse felt stuffy and hot. However, Xiao Wuyu did not explain the origin of his fire to Jian Ning.
Flames burned silently beneath the alchemy furnace. Xiao Wuyu opened the furnace lid, placed the prepared medicinal herbs inside one by one, and with a hand seal, the furnace lid automatically flew back and closed.
“Look closely at this technique; it’s quite complicated, so don’t get distracted.”
Although it was just refining a Bigu Pill, the lowest grade of pills, Xiao Wuyu still performed his hand seals from beginning to end, very slowly, just so that Jian Ning could memorize them.
After completing a set of hand gestures, Xiao Wuyu's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
His body hasn't fully recovered yet; he's still quite weak.
However, Jian Ning was quite clever; she memorized the hand gesture completely after just one repetition.
A faint stench was already emanating from the alchemy furnace; there was no way around it, this was the smell that came from mixing these medicinal herbs.
At this moment, Xiao Wuyu opened a bottle of watermelon juice. Instead of pouring it directly into the alchemy furnace, he used his spiritual power to draw the juice out of the bottle.
It was concentrated and refined into a small ball, and the excess water was evaporated before it was put into the alchemy furnace. More than ten minutes later, the flame at the bottom of the furnace was extinguished.
"It's done. Go check if it suits your taste."
Jian Ning walked over quickly, and instead of touching it with her hands, she used her spiritual energy to lift the lid of the alchemy furnace. A sweet watermelon aroma wafted out, instantly invigorating Jian Ning.
There were forty-six pills inside, each a small, light red pill that looked as clear and translucent as a ruby; it was almost too beautiful to eat.
"Brother Xiao, your alchemy skills are indeed superb. The success rate of your pills is higher than usual. Not a single medicinal herb was wasted." Jian Ning was genuinely impressed.
"I'll only demonstrate this batch. You know I'm weak right now and need to rest. Try the rest of the pills yourself. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask."
"Alright, I'll get started now." Jian Ning filled the alchemy furnace with all the fasting pills, then waved her hand, and invisible flames flew out. The air temperature in the room immediately dropped by seven or eight degrees.
Xiao Wuyu was still recovering from his injuries, and the sudden drop in temperature made him shiver involuntarily.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, my flames are a bit special. Why don't you cover yourself with a blanket to keep warm, or should I go out and refine some pills?"
Jian Ning immediately noticed that Xiao Wuyu probably couldn't withstand the temperature of her flames, and stood up to walk away.
"No need, I can withstand it with my internal energy. You can continue."
Xiao Wuyu was mentally prepared, and he circulated his spiritual energy to resist the continuously decreasing temperature in the room.
Seeing his persistence, Jian Ning went to get a fur blanket and covered his legs with it before she began to concentrate on refining pills.
This set of hand gestures is indeed complex. Although I had memorized them, it was still difficult to use them effectively.
But I always feel a bit sluggish and not quite smooth, so it seems I still need to practice more.
It gets better once you've gained some skill, but the effect of making pills is indeed good.
This time, Jian Ning refined banana milk flavored fasting pills. One batch yielded thirty-one pills. Although the shape was not perfect and they didn't look very good, at least they were formed.
