Chapter 642: On Alchemy
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue walked around the room to where the herbs were placed and saw that these herbs, together with what she had in hand, could make a fundamental pill, so she took them out.
This fundamental pill was a seventh grade pill with simple refining process, but it requires strong mental power. And this pill can be taken by both humans and beasts. Last time, the Shui Qing Man was cured by this pill.
Since there were medicinal ingredients here, she could refine them and take them with her. Anyone who was seriously injured in the future could use it.
“Are you going to refine the fundamental pill?” Han Miao Shuang saw the herbs she chose and understood what she was going to refine. “This Fundamental pill is not so easy to refine. No, you’re the seventh grade alchemist?!”
Sima You Yue was frightened by her scream. “Senior Sister, you scared me.”
“It’s you who scared me!” Han Miao Shuang refuted. “You are actually a seventh grade alchemist?”
At the beginning, the green lotus pill in the examination refinement was a sixth grade pill. They all thought that she would be a six grade alchemist at this age. Most of the other people who entered the inner court were over a hundred years old. But she didn’t expect that she was a seven grade alchemist!
Seventh grade. How many alchemists have only reached seventh grade in their whole life, and she was only in her thirties!
“Senior Sister, I am a seventh grade alchemist. You don’t have to be so surprised.” Sima You Yue said.
“Isn’t that surprising? In the past, we three always thought that our talent was the best, and Eldest Martial Brother had been the most powerful one here. However, he didn’t enter the ranks of seventh grade until he was more than one hundred years old, and I didn’t become a seven grade alchemist until I was more than one hundred and thirty years old while Xiao Xiao is more than one hundred fifty years old. Your talent…”
Han Miao Shuang felt deeply stimulated today. Compared with her, they were leaps away.
Su Xiao Xiao, who had just finished refining the pill, was attracted over by Han Miao Shuang’s scream. When he learned that Sima You Yue was already a seventh grade alchemist, his agape mouth could almost hold a fist.
Jiang Jun Zhe just came out of his alchemy room when he heard the commotion on this side. His feet subconsciously brought him over.
“Senior Sister, I also attained some good fortune to be promoted.” Sima You Yue said.
Strictly speaking, she didn’t really become a seven grade alchemist at the age of twenty or thirty because she spent a lot of time in the spirit pagoda. It seemed that she spent so many years outside, but the actual time is still a little more.
And she started under the guidance of Mo Sha. Mo Sha was also a famous alchemist in the three realms and was recognized by them.
Although her talent was pretty good, her experiences from three lives, in addition, the “Secret Soul Art” cultivation method allowed her spirit power to be stronger than others, which was very important to alchemy and array formations.
Without all this, she would not have achieved her present achievement at this age.
“No matter what the reason is, the final result is that you have such achievements now.” Han Miao Shuang said.
“That’s right.” Su Xiao Xiao endorsed this argument.
“Have you refined the fundamental pill before?” Jiang Jun Zhe asked.
“Yes, three batches of herbs were used, and only one success.” Sima You Yue answered, “So I want to practice more and be more proficient.”
“Little Junior Brother, go and refine it. We’ll watch from aside.” Su Xiao Xiao said.
“Xiao Xiao, do you remember that you refined this pill ten times before you succeeded?” Han Miao Shuang said.
Su Xiao Xiao scratched his head with a flush of red on his face. “Yes, I also got scolded a whole lot by Master.”
“Look at little Junior Brother. Succeeded after three attempts.” Han Miao Shuang slapped his shoulder. “Xiao Xiao, work hard!”
“Didn’t you only succeed after five to six attempts? To complain about me!” Su Xiao Xiao retorted.
“The process of refining fundamental pill is not too complicated but it needs high mental power control and it will not work if the mental power is insufficient. So even if some alchemists have been in the ranks of seventh grade for a long time, they may not be able to refine fundamental pill.” Jiang Jun Zhe leaned against the door and said, “Xiao Xiao’s weakness is his mental power, so that’s why he failed so many times.”
Su Xiao Xiao scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly, “I have been cultivating my mental strength according to my master these years, and it’s much better now.”
“Little Junior Brother, are you ready. Start when you’re ready. We can’t wait for it!” Han Miao Shuang urged.
Sima You Yue counted the herbs while they were talking. Hearing Han Miao Shuang urging her, she smiled and said, “Senior Sister, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.”
As she said this, she placed the herbs in place, took out her own furnace, lit a fire on the bottom and began to preheat. When the temperature of the furnace was sufficient, she began to refine the herbs.
Her refining methods were different from them. Although they all were refining, She was faster and her refinement was purer.
Time passed, refining, fusing and binding pills were carried out in an orderly manner. With previous experience, she successfully refined pills this time, but she did not have the same environment of refining pills from last time, so the refined pills were not as good as the last time, and did not lead to pill tribulation.
But the quantity increased by one.
She glanced at the pills in her hand. She realized that not all pills would attract pill tribulation.
“Little Junior Brother, your refining method is very special. In many places, it is more detailed than what we have dealt with.” Su Xiao Xiao said excitedly, “Little Junior Brother, can I often watch you refine in the future?”
“Yes.” Sima You Yue replied. Anyway, when they watched her alchemy, they were very quiet. It didn’t matter if they were here or not.
“Thanks Little Junior Brother.” Su Xiao Xiao happily said.
They practiced alchemy from Xu Jin, so their methods were similar. Now, such a newcomer had arrived, it had exhilarated them.
“Your percentage of success has always been 100%?”Jiang Jun Zhe asked.
“Generally I would succeed and I seldom fail. But It’s not 100%.”
“Then that’s really high!” Han Miao Shuang exclaimed.
After watching her refining pills, they were convinced by Xu Jin’s foresight. The strength of this Little Junior Brother was really not boasted!
“It’s a little comprehensible. I’ll go and have a look.” Jiang Jun Zhe left.
“I also feel that the places I didn’t understand before, seem to be more clear now. I’ll also go.” Su Xiao Xiao also left.
Sima You Yue cleaned up her furnace and said to Han Miao Shuang, “Do you want to continue refining or go back to rest?”
Han Miao Shuang glanced at her furnace. Her stance of going to eat meat wavered.
“I’ll continue practicing alchemy.”
“Alright, I originally wanted to invite you to barbecue. Since Senior Sister is busy, I’ll go myself.”
