Chapter 49: Yan Qingshan's Problem

Magic Beast Mountain Range, within the canyon, under the blazing sun, the fragrance of medicinal herbs permeated the entire valley.

Yan Qingshan looked at the neatly arranged medicinal herbs in front of him, forcing himself to calm down.

Although repeated failures had made him irritable, they had also honed his experience and given him a deeper understanding of alchemy.

His gaze swept roughly over the stone platform, then he picked up several kinds of medicinal herbs at a moderate pace. Green Spirit Grass and Nether Grass were simultaneously thrown into the medicine cauldron by him using a special technique.

Under the suppression of his soul perception, the Peach Blossom Flame gently enveloped the medicinal herbs thrown into the medicine cauldron, completing the mixing step while extracting the essence of the two medicinal herbs. Immediately afterward, other materials were processed, everything as smooth as flowing water.

Amidst Yan Qingshan's continuous movements, the prototype of the Returning Spring Pill in the medicine cauldron was slowly forming.

Time flew by quickly, and after the pill in the medicine cauldron had rolled countless times, it finally became round.

Yan Qingshan's forehead was covered with sweat, and his hands were trembling. The previous few times, problems had occurred at this last step, and this time he would not make the same mistake again.

Yan Qingshan carefully controlled the convergence of the flame, forcibly circulated the little Dou Qi left in his body, controlled it with his soul perception, and finally used Dawn Assistance.

Finally... accompanied by waves of medicinal fragrance, the Peach Blossom Flame converged, and a round pill with a medicinal fragrance remained at the bottom of the medicine cauldron.

"Success!"

Several heads quickly gathered around, everyone looking at the pill at the bottom of the medicine cauldron. The round appearance was slightly glowing, and it carried a special medicinal fragrance that made people feel refreshed.

Yan Qingshan concentrated his mind and gathered his Qi for a moment to recover, then beckoned, and a light green pill broke out of the cauldron and flew towards him quickly.

Yan Qingshan took out a jade bottle prepared in advance and waved it in front of him, and the light green pill was accurately put into it. Slowly putting down the jade bottle, Yan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

After a little processing, Yan Qingshan took out the pill from the jade bottle. The pill was about the size of a thumb, light green in color, with a faint circle of emerald green ripples like spreading ripples, looking quite strange.

"There are even pill patterns... the quality of this pill is quite good. Kid, you were able to figure out how to refine pills with just a notebook, and the quality is so excellent.

If you hadn't insisted on second-grade pills from the beginning, you might have achieved results earlier."

The well-informed Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor Bai Ya was also a little surprised. He had been surprised by Yan Qingshan several times these days, the other party had brought him too many surprises, but seeing this high-quality pill, he couldn't help but be moved again.

Generally, when the quality and luster of the pill reach their peak, it is possible for the refined pill to have such pill patterns, which is a sign of excellent quality.

Although Yan Qingshan had only succeeded in refining it for the first time, he had failed so many times before, and his practice had already made him skilled. There was a reason why he succeeded with such excellent quality this time.

"However, kid, I have to pour cold water on you."

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor Bai Ya suddenly changed the subject and said solemnly to Yan Qingshan,

"Although you kid relied on absorbing and refining the Peach Blossom Flame to gain flame abilities to extract medicinal herbs, you should have noticed it too.

Although it is possible for you to use wood attribute Dou Qi to drive the Peach Blossom Flame, the Dou Qi consumed is much greater than using Flame attribute to drive beast Flame, and the extraction power of the Peach Blossom Flame is also limited, or rather, you cannot fully exert its power. Do you know why?"

"Please tell me!"

Yan Qingshan listened carefully to the words of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor and nodded to indicate that he should continue.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor continued, "Alchemists are the most noble profession on the continent, but the innate prerequisites are not low.

In addition to the most crucial soul perception, you must have both fire and wood attributes, and generally, the fire attribute is stronger than the wood attribute.

Alchemists are so noble, and it is not that other attribute powerhouses on the continent have not been tempted.

Some high-level pure fire attribute powerhouses can forcibly fuse medicinal liquids and then condense them into pills by relying on their powerful strength and soul power, but generally, these people can only refine some low and medium-grade pills.

There is also a type that changes innate attributes, but this requires extremely high-level materials or pills to change aptitude, and the change of innate attributes is very easy to cause a series of problems. Even if you have this wealth, few people actually do this.

There is also another type, which is your type of wood attribute, but with strong innate soul perception. If you get a suitable beast Flame, you can also refine pills.

But you should have also felt that using the Peach Blossom Flame for a short time is fine, but if you refine medicinal herbs and refine pills for a long time, you will easily have a lack of follow-up, and the probability of failure is greater than that of ordinary alchemists.

With your current Dou Master cultivation base, you can barely refine second-grade pills with the Peach Blossom Flame, but this Peach Blossom Flame is just a fifth-rank beast flame after all, but in fact, it can't even use the fifth grade.

Even if your strength improves, I'm afraid you can only refine third-grade pills at most with it, which is basically your limit."

Qing Ling said crisply, "Lord Bai Ya, is there any way to solve my young master's situation? You have also seen how very, very hard my young master is working."

"If hard work was useful, then what would talent be for?"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor Bai Ya shook his head, but he didn't say anything to death, and continued, "In this case, either change to a higher-level wood attribute beast flame, but among high-level wood attribute magical beasts, it is really rare to have beast

Flame.

There is also a kind, it is said that there was once an unparalleled Dou Saint, who was originally just a wood attribute, but by chance, he obtained the legendary Life Spirit Flame, and after opening the path of an alchemist, he made rapid progress and achieved the position of a ninth-grade alchemist, enjoying a reputation on the continent for nearly a thousand years."

Xiao Yi Xian frowned, "The Life Spirit Flame, the legendary fifth-ranked Heavenly Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

"That's right, it's the legendary Heavenly Flame. I'm not saying that this kid has to get the Life Spirit Flame, but if he can find a Heavenly Flame that fits him, this problem can also be solved."

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor nodded and continued, "Alchemists generally have strong flame and weak wood, with fire attribute occupying the majority, and wood attribute only playing the role of guiding the fusion and condensation of medicinal liquids, while soul perception dominates everything.

And although he has the Peach Blossom Flame, he is still strong in wood and weak in flame, and the conversion efficiency is not too high. If his soul perception was not terribly high, he would not be able to refine this pill at all.

But if he has a stronger source flame, not to mention letting the fire attribute in his body overwhelm the wood attribute, as long as the flame itself is strong enough, the consumption will be very small, and because his wood attribute is strong, the fusion of medicinal liquids is much smoother than ordinary alchemists. In this case, his path as an alchemist will be quite smooth.

However, this is not easy. Heavenly Flames and high-level beast flames are not so easy to obtain, let alone just the right fit for his physique."
