"Qin Yichen!"
"Qin Yichen!"
Qin Yichen opened his eyes in a daze. He wanted to see who was so bold that he dared to shout in front of him, the Elixir Saint. However, he saw a slightly angry face.
The woman in front of him had an oval face that was as white as suet jade. Her black eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were like black gems. Her nose was straight, and her lips were red. Her teeth were sparkling, and her beautiful hair was as smooth as silk.
"Sister Miaohan?"
Looking at the face that was hidden in the depths of his memory, Qin Yichen was stunned for a moment before he subconsciously called out.
"Humph!"
Lin Miaohan glared at him and snorted. "I told you not to put out the fire. What do you think you've done?"
"Hmm?"
Qin Yichen looked around and saw an extinguished pill furnace and rows of medicine racks on the side...
A familiar scene and a familiar person awakened the memories that had existed in his mind for so long that he almost forgot them.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. "Did I go back to 16 years ago?"
He remembered that when his parents took him to live in the Lin Family, his father was a guard of the Lin Family, and his mother followed some women to do some needlework. As for him, because he was smart, he became a little apprentice master.
The girl in front of him was the goddess in his heart at that time, as well as the youngest daughter of the head of the Lin family, Lin Aotian, Lin Miaohan.
However, at that time, Qin Yichen was very self-abased and did not have the courage to confess his love. After all, his status was low, but the other party was the young lady of the family. The status of the two could be said to be completely different.
A year later, the Lin Family could not gain a foothold in Yuxi City. In the process of retreating, they were attacked by their enemies. Almost all of their families were destroyed. His parents also died in the process. His father threw him into the river. Through the stream, he saw with his own eyes that many familiar people died miserably in front of him.
After escaping this ordeal, Qin Yichen's talent in pill refinement slowly made him shine. All sorts of experiences, all sorts of fortuitous encounters, in the end, he became the pinnacle of the entire continent's Pill Saint!
"Do you know how much you lost because of your negligence?"
Lin Miaohan's anger had not yet subsided, and her angry roar awakened Qin Yichen, who was lost in his memories.
Usually, she would take good care of this smart and reasonable little brother. However, due to the recent promotion of a better medicine in the medicine shop opposite the Lin family's medicine shop, the Lin family had fallen into a very unfavorable position and almost stopped selling. Therefore, she was irritated and angry because of Qin Yichen's carelessness of wasting a batch of herbs.
Qin Yichen resisted the urge to hug her. He opened the pill furnace and looked at the dregs in the furnace. He picked up a small piece and sniffed it.
"He should be refining the 'Yuan Recovery Liquid'..."
Although the Lin Family was an alchemist family, no one could refine real pills. They could only refine some of the most basic medicinal liquid on the continent.
Those who were truly capable of concocting pills were all honored as... master alchemists.
However, there were fewer than enough people at that level in the whole of Yuxi City. Moreover, they were all Gods of Offerings in big families.
"This batch of herbs is worth seven silver coins. I could have made 10 bottles of Gui Yuan Liquid. If I sell them, I can earn 10 silver coins. Do you know that 10 silver coins is almost the daily income of my Lin family's medicine shop? What's more, the Zhuang family has gone too far. My Lin family's medicinal liquid can't be sold out soon..." Looking at the burnt dregs of medicine in the furnace, Lin Miaohan was so distressed that she burst into tears.
The Zhuang Family!
A cold glint flashed through Qin Yichen's eyes.
The Lin Family was driven to a dead end by the Zhuang Family. That was why the tragedy happened after that.
"Wait, don't fall."
When she was about to pour out the dregs, Qin Yichen stopped her and said mysteriously, "Sister Miaohan, these things are all money. It's a pity to lose them."
These burnt dregs were useless in Lin Miaohan's eyes, but in Qin Yichen's eyes, they were still raw materials for refining pills. Although they were a little inferior, they were more than enough to be refined into medicine.
Refining the medicinal liquid was the most basic and simplest way to refine pills. As long as you were familiar with the medicinal herbs' properties, you could refine them with open fire.
Although these herbs had been burnt and most of the medicinal properties had been lost, there was still a small part left in these dregs. Although refining them into pills would affect the quality of the pills, it would not be difficult for Qin Yichen to refine them into medicinal liquid.
Then, he shaved off the layers of burnt herb dregs. After thinking for a while, he picked a few different herbs from the medicine rack next to him. He put them in his hands and weighed them before throwing them into the furnace.
"How can you randomly add other herbs?"
It was too late for Lin Miaohan to stop him. She glared at him angrily.
It should be known that the fixed effect of the medicinal liquid was made up of all kinds of herbs. If it was added to other herbs with different properties, it would lead to extremely serious consequences. The lighter the effect of the medicine became weak, the more serious the effect of the medicine would be, and the furnace would explode!
Pill furnaces were extremely valuable. Even ordinary unranked pill furnaces were worth hundreds of silver coins!
The pill furnace in front of him was a low-grade Human-rank pill furnace. It was said that the Lin Family had spent a large sum of money to purchase it. It was said that it was worth more than a thousand silver coins.
The high-quality pill furnace brought about the improvement of quality. The same kind of herb, when placed in an ordinary unranked pill furnace, could at most be refined into a first-grade or second-grade pill furnace. However, in a human-level pill furnace, the lowest quality of the medicinal liquid was at least at the second-grade, or even at the third-grade.
Different kinds of medicinal liquid naturally had different prices.
The price of a Third-class Martial Superior was much higher than that of a Second-class Martial Superior.
It could be said that the biggest source of income of the Lin Family was this Elixir Furnace. If the Elixir Furnace broke, it would bring devastating disaster to the Lin Family.
"Sister Miaohan, don't worry. I met an old master yesterday. He taught me that after adding these herbs, it can improve the efficacy of the Gui Yuan Liquid."
As Qin Yichen spoke, he added charcoal, lit the flames, and began to refine.
Now, the level of alchemy in this world was totally different from what it would be after 13,000 years.
After more than 10,000 years of development, the distribution of the spirit medicine became more scattered, and its efficacy, quality, and various other aspects were greatly improved.
For example, on the market right now, after consuming it, it would take five minutes before it would be able to unleash the effects of the medicine and slowly restore a martial practitioner's Yuan Power. However, if these herbs were added in, it would be able to mediate the full effect of the medicine. It would only take a minute, or even less than a minute before it would be able to unleash the effects of the Yuan Power Recovering Liquid. Furthermore, it would greatly increase the speed at which one's Yuan Power would be restored.
Think about it, how great of a turn it would be for those martial artists who were risking their lives outside!
Then, Qin Yichen placed his palm on the side of the pill furnace, intentionally or otherwise, and silently circulated the Spiritual God Technique. Immediately, the frozen mental energy in his mind spread out and seeped into the pill furnace. The next moment, the clear water in the pill furnace began to boil.
About a minute later, Qin Yichen suddenly opened the pill furnace and picked up the small bottle that he had prepared earlier. He put the almost transparent medicinal liquid into the bottle and filled it with 15 bottles. Then, he placed them neatly in front of Lin Miaohan.
"This..."
Looking at the almost transparent bottles of medicinal liquid, Lin Miaohan was shocked speechless.
The grade of the medicinal liquid was determined by whether or not the impurities in the medicinal liquid had been removed. The clearer the medicinal liquid was, the fewer impurities there would be.
As for the dozen bottles of medicinal liquid in front of her, she could hardly see any impurities with her naked eyes.
In other words, what was placed in front of her was at least fifty percent of the medicinal liquid!
She had never seen such a high-quality medicinal liquid, even in the largest Pill Tower in Yuxi City.
