"These are the five most basic steps. We'll start with material selection. However, the steps for each pill aren't necessarily the same and also depend on one's own abilities.
The main medicinal ingredients for the Spirit Recovery Pill are Blue Silver Grass, Spirit Soothing Flower, and Star Dew Grass."
"Blue Silver Grass also counts as a medicinal ingredient?" Xiao Ze was stunned.
"Why wouldn't it? Blue Silver Grass doesn't have spiritual essence until it reaches ten years, so it's not considered a Spirit Beast, but the life energy it contains is quite good. The more there is, the better the effect."
"I see." Xiao Ze had never imagined that Blue Silver Grass could be used for alchemy.
"The three medicinal ingredients need to be qualified before they can be used to refine pills. You can start checking them."
Xiao Ze nodded slightly, and the three medicinal plants were held in the air by his mental force.
After consuming the crops, his mental force, though not comparable to a mental-type Spirit Master, was still capable of simple control over medicinal ingredients.
Xiao Ze closed his eyes and concentrated, his spirit power extending like a thread.
The tip of the Blue Silver Grass leaf trembled slightly as the spirit power thread entered its body.
"There are small traces of insect damage, life energy is constantly draining, and there are signs of impurity erosion. It cannot be used."
"This Spirit Soothing Flower gives off a cool wave, and there are faint golden patterns on the edges of its petals. Qualified."
"The Star Dew Grass's root fluorescence is dim, and the moonlight is insufficient. Discard."
Xiao Ze spent a quarter of an hour selecting enough medicinal ingredients to refine fifty portions of Spirit Recovery Pills.
The value of these medicinal ingredients was very low, making them relatively simple to use.
"Xiao Ze, if you can successfully refine the Spirit Recovery Pill, you can add wheat or pork to it and refine them together."
"That's possible too?" Xiao Ze was surprised.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
"The substance itself isn't important; what's important is the special energy!" Xiao Ze suddenly remembered.
"Exactly."
Xiao Ze suddenly understood. The essence of alchemy was actually to fuse various special energies into a more special compound energy.
Then wheat and pork were naturally acceptable. The Spirit Recovery Pills refined this way would naturally have better effects.
"Next, we'll begin tempering. The core ability of tempering is to 'draw silk and peel cocoons,' processing these medicinal ingredients into the form we need.
The most important thing is meticulousness, meticulousness, and still meticulousness," the God of Agriculture emphasized.
"Understood."
"Transform spirit power into a needle, pierce the main stem of the Blue Silver Grass, and extract three strands of life energy," the God of Agriculture directed.
Xiao Ze took a deep breath, his right hand slowly flowing with spirit power. His spirit power control was not weak, but achieving success was still very difficult.
The first spirit needle was too thick, tearing the Blue Silver Grass fibers and destroying the structure of the life energy. Failure.
The second spirit needle was too thin, making it very difficult to control. The needle tip was too soft and couldn't pierce the Blue Silver Grass's body.
The third time…
The fourth time…
It wasn't until the seventh attempt that Xiao Ze perfectly inserted the spirit needle into the Blue Silver Grass.
"Not bad." The God of Agriculture nodded slightly. Xiao Ze's talent was indeed quite strong, much better than his own back then. He had practiced for a full half-day when he first started alchemy.
"Use the vibration frequency of spirit power to extract the life energy."
Xiao Ze held his breath and began to operate. Two seconds later, he realized his spirit power control was insufficient, making it difficult to maintain a stable frequency.
Suddenly, he thought of his mental force and began to use it to stabilize his spirit power.
The God of Agriculture nodded at the sight. Although it was a bit of a trick, it was still very good.
By the time he finished processing the Spirit Soothing Flower and Star Dew Grass, it was already afternoon.
"The third step is soul infusion. Pour the processed medicinal liquid into the qiankun furnace. When infusing spirit power, it needs to be as continuous as a flowing stream. This is also a very good time for you to cultivate your spirit power control."
Xiao Ze placed his large hand on the qiankun furnace and began to slowly infuse spirit power. The spirit power slowly infiltrated the medicinal liquid along the furnace.
The first five minutes were fine, but the longer it went on, the more difficult it became for Xiao Ze to control, and the infusion of spirit power began to fluctuate like a wavy line.
"Think about how those life energies entered your body when you were cultivating your cultivation method?" the God of Agriculture reminded him.
Xiao Ze heard this and suddenly understood. He was all too familiar with how those life energies entered his body.
Having cultivated for so many years, how could he not know?
The rhythmic frequency of those life energies slowly appeared in his mind. Xiao Ze slowly controlled his spirit power to match the same frequency, and his spirit power gradually stabilized.
The medicinal liquid in the qiankun furnace began to glow.
And it seemed to be compressed; the half-bowl of medicinal liquid now only remained one-tenth of its original volume.
"Begin the first pill condensation. Use your spirit power and mental force to contract the medicinal liquid into a pill embryo."
Xiao Ze took a deep breath, mobilizing the surging spirit power in his dantian.
spirit power traveled along his meridians, gathering in his palm.
At the same time, Xiao Ze's mental force, like an invisible thread, extended from his Sea of Consciousness, trembling slightly in the air.
Seeing this, the God of Agriculture pulled Scarlet Serpent out of Xiao Ze's Sea of Consciousness.
"Light the fire."
Scarlet Serpent nodded and began to light and heat the qiankun furnace.
The God of Agriculture was a little speechless. This boy actually started refining pills without even a flame. How careless.
The medicinal liquid churned in the qiankun furnace, its luster constantly changing, and a misty vapor carrying a medicinal fragrance rose.
Seeing this, Xiao Ze transformed his spirit power into an invisible large hand, reaching into the qiankun furnace, and began to gather the scattered medicinal liquid.
And his mental force was like a fine net, carefully enveloping every drop of medicinal liquid, preventing it from dissipating.
As spirit power and mental force continuously entered, the medicinal liquid underwent noticeable changes. The dispersed liquid gradually began to contract, and its color became increasingly rich.
The violently churning medicinal liquid gradually calmed, slowly condensing into a small embryo-like object in the center of the qiankun furnace.
A faint halo flowed over the surface of the pill embryo, and the medicinal fragrance permeated the room.
Even Ning Rongrong could smell the medicinal fragrance from outside.
"Hmm… it smells so good." Ning Rongrong followed the scent to Xiao Ze's door.
"What is Xiao Ze doing in there? This scent seems to be the fragrance of pills." As the eldest young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong had eaten her fair share of pills since childhood.
However, those pills were all relatively ordinary.
After all, there were no powerful alchemists on the Douluo Continent; they were even inferior to blacksmiths.
"Begin the second pill condensation. This time, you won't be needed. Scarlet Serpent, listen to the commands." The God of Agriculture looked at Scarlet Serpent.
Scarlet Serpent nodded.
Xiao Ze understood that this meant the second pill condensation was related to fire.
"Raise the flame."
The flame at the bottom of the qiankun furnace suddenly surged three zhang high, the crimson flames engulfing the furnace, and the surrounding air slightly twisted.
Xiao Ze immediately used his spirit power to form a barrier, enveloping the flame. Otherwise, the room would be ruined.
The flame slowly transformed into an azure-purple color.
The pill embryo vibrated violently under the high temperature, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.
"Xiao Ze, infuse spirit power and envelop the pill, don't let the medicinal liquid spill out."
Xiao Ze was stunned. Good heavens, he still had something to do.
He could only multitask, injecting spirit power into the qiankun furnace like a tide, evenly distributing the heat and enveloping the medicinal liquid around the pill embryo.
