After Xiao Han placed the cauldron in place, he began to refine pills. According to his thoughts, if he could really refine Demon Pellets, the effect of refining pills to increase one's strength was not inferior to the effect of leveling up. If a level 10 person's attack and defense were the same as a level 20 person's and their attributes were the same, then what was the use of the difference in levels between two people?
What Xiao Han wanted was strength, not level. If he was strong, it did not matter if his level was lower. At least after eating the Demon Pellet, Xiao Han could increase his attribute points by three levels. The higher his level, the harder it was to level up. It was better to increase his strength. It would be much easier to level up in the future.
Xiao Han placed the Stone Fungus Grass into the alchemy furnace. Purple flames burned in the cauldron. Purple flames licked the Stone Fungus Grass, burning it into medicinal paste. He carefully followed the instructions in the Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture to refine medicinal pills.
The Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture was not a recipe for alchemy. Instead, it taught people how to refine pills. How to control the fire, the medicinal properties, and how to deal with each herb. It was written clearly in it. If one understood the medicinal properties of each herb thoroughly, they could even make their own recipe. Of course, they had to make their alchemy skills reach the level of a grandmaster.
The Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture was said to be a hundred herbs, but in fact, it covered a lot of things. There were hundreds of thousands of herbs described in it. Because it was a skill, there was no need to flip through the pages. Xiao Han easily found out the process of refining the Stone Fungus Grass and its use. Even the rare Demon Grass had a detailed description. The description inside was so detailed that even a certain root of the Demon Grass could not be eaten. If it was carelessly refined into a Demon Pellet, it would lower the success rate of refining the Demon Pellet.
Shennong was really a great figure. He tasted all kinds of herbs and did things that others could not do. Xiao Han admired him from the bottom of his heart.
After ten seconds, the burning was finally done. Xiao Han turned off the flames and picked up the medicinal paste at the bottom to make a pill shape. Every action was done according to the steps in the Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture.
[You have made the Six Harmonies Pill. Grade: High. 20 HP regeneration per second, lasts for one minute. Skill proficiency increased by 5. Current proficiency: 5/1000.]
Xiao Han did not expect that the Six Harmonies Pill he made would actually be on the same level as the Airflow Pill sold in the shop. The good start made Xiao Han happy. He continued to make the Six Harmonies Pill.
The process after that was not particularly smooth. Although there were some failures, success still accounted for most of them. High-grade pills could increase skill proficiency by 5, middle-grade pills could increase skill proficiency by 3, and low-grade pills could only increase skill proficiency by 1. Seeing the skill proficiency steadily increase, Xiao Han was in a good mood.
After the burning flames were extinguished, Xiao Han rubbed the medicinal paste together and squeezed it into the shape of a pill.
[You have made the Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill. Skill proficiency has increased by 10.]
Xiao Han felt a little strange. He had clearly made the Six Harmonies Pill. How did it become the Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill? Xiao Han looked at the Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill in his hand.
[Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill: A derivative of the Six Harmonies Pill. Grade: Top. Maximum blood value increased by 50. Limited to eating two.]
It turned out that the Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill was a top-grade Six Harmonies Pill. However, its attributes were not bad. It could increase the maximum HP. One had to know that HP often determined a person's life and death. It was very important. Xiao Han swallowed it without hesitation. How could he miss out on such a good thing that could increase his strength?
After Xiao Han finished eating the Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill, he felt a little regretful. This pill was indeed not bad, but the probability of producing it was too small. He had refined five groups of Stone Fungus Grass and only produced one.
A lightbulb flashed in Xiao Han's mind. He picked up two Stone Fungus Grasses and placed them into the cauldron. Then, he began to refine pills. He carefully recalled the knowledge in the Hundred Herbs Scripture. What should he do if he had more medicinal herbs?
After burning it for ten seconds, the stone fungus turned into medicinal paste. Xiao Han took a ladle and scooped a spoonful of water. The water in the alchemy room was all good mountain spring water, and it was very clean. He could use it without worry. He slowly poured the water into the cauldron. The water turned into a stream and slowly poured into the cauldron. It couldn't be too much, nor could it stop flowing. It just happened to maintain the amount of evaporating water. If it was too much, it would dilute the medicinal properties. If it was too little, the medicinal paste would easily be burnt.
After another ten seconds, Xiao Han took the medicinal paste and rubbed it into a pill.
It was the Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill! Xiao Han happily picked it up and ate it. His HP had increased by 50. He was now Level 13, and his HP was close to 3,000. Although it was much lower than the Sword Immortal and Daoist, he was already considered one of the best among the wizards.
Using the method he had just researched, Xiao Han's success rate in refining medicine was much higher, and his technique was becoming more and more proficient. He had refined thirteen Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pills in the afternoon, and the other pills added up to more than a hundred. At least for a period of time, these blood-healing pills were enough for him. The Stone Fungus Grass had been used up, and he had to buy it again. He suddenly thought of Long Fei, and the corner of his mouth slightly smiled. Since there was an errand boy, why not? Since he took his cauldron, it was time to return some favors to him.
"Long Fei, Pill Room." Xiao Han's words were as concise as ever, not giving any reason. Not long after, Long Fei ran over. Xiao Han didn't understand why he, the leader of the largest gang in Nine Li City, was so free.
"Big Brother, what good stuff do you have now?" In Long Fei's opinion, Xiao Han was simply full of treasures. He would take out things that he had never seen before, and every one of them was top-grade. He almost wrote top-grade on his face.
"I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Help me buy medicinal herbs and pill formulas. These are for you." Xiao Han grabbed a handful of medicinal pills and placed them on the table.
As soon as Long Fei saw these pills, his eyes immediately lit up. Trembling, he picked up a Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pill and looked at Xiao Han as if he was looking at a monster. "Big Brother, don't tell me you just refined these?"
"What's wrong?"
Long Fei couldn't understand. Why did Xiao Han rush in front of him in just a few days? Why did he turn to refining pills? Was it because of his appearance? Long Fei subconsciously touched his face. He was quite handsome too. Why wasn't he as lucky as Xiao Han? He didn't know what the alchemist he raised was doing. He hadn't even reached the intermediate level yet. He took a bunch of herbs every day. He took them but didn't produce any. Even if he fed them to the cows, they could still produce a pile of shit. However, he didn't even produce a pile of shit. Long Fei wished he could hug Xiao Han and give him a fierce kiss. With these Nine Revolutions Wonder Hand Pills, the strength of his gang would increase a lot. One had to know that this was 100 HP. As a sword immortal who often takes the hits, he knew what 100 HP meant.
