Chapter 4566: 5.0318 So Hard to Refine

A rich medicinal fragrance wafted from the cauldron, filling the entire second floor of the Palace of Longevity.

Duan Yue's eyes lit up. "What kind of elixir is this? It's incredibly fragrant and pleasant. Just smelling it makes one feel refreshed."

"This is Heavenly Jade Dragon Elixir. I refined it myself," Qiao Mu said with a smile, patting the cauldron. A string of elixirs leaped out, obediently entering the emerald green jade bottle in her hand.

Qiao Mu filled three large bottles, then put the remaining ten or so elixirs into a small porcelain jar, which she handed to Duan Yue.

He sighed, muttering, "Heavenly Jade Dragon Elixir is truly difficult to refine. Refining it here for a day and a night, twelve shichen (a traditional Chinese unit of time, equal to two hours), only yielded about three hundred elixirs. It's so slow."

Duan Yue held the small porcelain jar, giving Qiao Mu a speechless look.

What day and night, twelve shichen? If calculated by the outside world's time, it had only been one shichen, and Master Qiao Qiao had already refined about three hundred elixirs.

The main point was, this guy was definitely too lazy to tend the fire and just left the cauldron here, going off on her own.

It's quite possible that after some time, she suddenly 'woke up' and realized it was time to collect the elixirs, by which point a day and a night had passed in the Star Domain.

The actual time needed probably wasn't that long.

"This..."

"Just eat this as a snack. Later, we'll go outside and get some more Heavenly Jade Dragon. With your cultivation, this diluted elixir won't have much effect," Qiao Mu said, putting the three large jade bottles into her inner world.

"These elixirs are prepared for the Heaven's Will Slaying Battle Group."

"Given their cultivation levels, taking one per month will greatly aid their cultivation progress."

"Come with me."

The two left the Palace of Longevity and returned to the serene courtyard.

The Heavenly Jade Dragon flowed like a verdant water vein, encircling the entire courtyard like a shining pearl.

"Wait a moment," Qiao Mu bent down and took a large chunk of paste-like Heavenly Jade Dragon.

She compressed it into tiny, glowing green beads, all of which she tossed into a carved wooden box.

This box likely contained several hundred small green beads.

Qiao Mu handed it to Duan Yue, instructing him seriously, "With your cultivation, you can only take one of these undiluted Heavenly Jade Dragon beads every seven days."

"Taking seven beads should allow your cultivation to advance a small step."

"You also can't keep taking them continuously. After finishing seven beads, you must stop for a year or a year and a half before continuing to take them."

Long-term consumption of Heavenly Jade Dragon is enough to subtly enhance one's fundamental bone structure and meridians, while also thoroughly cleansing any hidden internal injuries.

"Okay," Duan Yue said with a smile, nodding.

The two left the Star Domain. Qiao Mu then tossed the three bottles of Heavenly Jade Dragon Elixir to Young Master Rong, letting him decide how to reward and distribute them.

The elites from the three prefectures needed to maximize their self-improvement within half a year.

This would require various medicinal resources to keep up with their cultivation speed.

Relying solely on Qiao Mu for alchemy, she simply didn't have that much patience. Of course, she instructed Mingyasi to quickly gather a group of alchemists to the island to help.

At that time, Huang He would also bring a batch of alchemists, and by her calculations, they should arrive in a few days.

"Everyone, you've worked hard. But your efforts will definitely not be in vain."

"These three bottles of elixir in my hand are called Heavenly Jade Dragon Elixir. They are excellent elixirs refined from sacred-grade materials."

"Only one elixir needs to be taken per month."
