Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 359 - 143: Spirit Transformation Pill Complete, Adva

"This~"

Doctor Bai’s eyes widened as he exclaid, "I’ve lived for more than sixty years, and this is the first ti I’ve seen such a large Blood Ganoderma. This, this must be at least six hundred years old!"

Chen Jie said, "It should be. How about it? How does this Blood Ganoderma compare in quality to the one you used for refining the Spirit Transformation Pill back then?"

Doctor Bai said, "The materials we used for that pill back then were not as good as this one. Not to ntion the other dicinal ingredients, just this six-hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma alone is definitely stronger than the one we had before."

"This Blood Ganoderma, after five hundred years, every additional ten years represents a new level of enhancent. Its dicinal power increases significantly, and a six-hundred-year-old one is at least twice as potent as a five-hundred-year-old one. That is a qualitative leap."

Hearing this, Chen Jie responded with a chuckle, "That’s good to hear. Then Master, shall we refine a batch of Spirit Transformation Pills that are even more impressive than the ones from before?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitent appeared on Doctor Bai’s face, and he quickly replied, "Good. However, with the increased potency of the Blood Ganoderma, we need to adjust the other dicines slightly."

Thinking this, Doctor Bai picked up the prescription list to examine it, and then began to balance the dosage of the dicinal ingredients. When a skillful doctor prepares elixirs, he doesn’t just follow the prescription; he also needs to understand differentiation of symptoms and conditions.

What we see as individual dicinal ingredients are, in the eyes of a skillful doctor, asures of Yin Yang equilibrium.

After a minor adjustnt, Doctor Bai confird the asurents to use. Fortunately, Chen Jie had bought so extra auxiliary dicines, so it was convenient to increase the dosage.

After the adjustnt, Doctor Bai said, "Hmm, let’s refine it according to this dosage."

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Yes, Master."

Doctor Bai paused for a mont before adding, "Jiu Si, alchemy always carries risks. If the furnace explodes, all these hard-earned ingredients will be wasted. When the Old Guild Leader was refining those Spirit Transformation Pills, even with the help of us Eight Great Doctors, we still had two furnace explosions and wasted many dicinal ingredients, which depleted the Fishing Guild’s accumulations of over a decade. Think carefully about this!"

Chen Jie took a mont before replying, "Hmm, I’ve thought it through, Master. If they’re wasted, then they’re wasted. I’ll find a way to get more ingredients. If I don’t even dare to try, then these ingredients might as well be weeds, useless to ."

"Good."

Doctor Bai said, "You must have this kind of determination to practice alchemy, otherwise why bother making any pills at all."

Doctor Bai was right; practicing alchemy is like burning money. If you are not willing to spend, you might as well not practice alchemy because you won’t be able to produce anything.

"Hong’er."

"Grandpa!"

Wu Hong addressed Doctor Bai, to whom Doctor Bai said, "Go guard the door. Before we co out, no one is allowed to enter."

"Yes."

Wu Hong obediently left the room.

Now only Doctor Bai and Chen Jie remained.

Chen Jie said, "Master, I am a novice in alchemy. You lead the process, and I will learn from you."

Doctor Bai said, "Hmm, let’s start the furnace."

Start the furnace?

Chen Jie was confused, but Doctor Bai explained that one doesn’t imdiately start with refining the most important elixirs.

Because the first batch often leads to unfamiliarity with the Pill Furnace and insufficient control, along with other various factors, it’s necessary to start the furnace with less important elixirs.

Find so less important elixirs to refine first to get the feel of it and to condition the furnace.

Once the feeling returns, then proceed with the important elixirs, and the success rate will be much higher.

Doctor Bai led Chen Jie to the Pill Furnace. It was a large furnace about half a person tall, divided into two sections: the firebox below, providing heat, and the refining furnace on top for processing the herbs.

The entire furnace was made of bronze, with a carving of a gluttonous beast on the lid.

The whole body of the furnace was covered in cloud patterns, which was a style from the Qin and Han Period.

There were Eight Trigrams Diagrams on the front and back of the furnace body, surrounded by raised talisman carvings; obviously, it was a Taoist Pill Furnace.

Doctor Bai said, "This furnace is an Ancient Artifact; I spent five thousand taels to buy it, almost exhausting all my wealth."

Chen Jie was also examining the Pill Furnace in front of him.

Doctor Bai said, "Let’s see what other herbs you have."

As he spoke, Doctor Bai gestured towards the dicine basket on Chen Jie’s back. Chen Jie thought for a mont; the most precious thing inside was the Tai Sui at. Could he show this to Doctor Bai?

Hiding it would seem petty, but considering Doctor Bai’s character, the Tai Sui at probably wouldn’t be leaked.

With that thought, Chen Jie opened the dicine basket.

Doctor Bai flipped through the contents, his expression neither sad nor happy. Although the dicinal ingredients were very precious, as one of the Inner Hall Eight Doctors of the Fishing Guild, he had seen many others even more valuable.

"White Bone Fruit, King Centipede, ah, with these, we can try refining the Bone Strengthening Pill."

Doctor Bai was sorting through when suddenly, he stopped, frozen in place.

"This?"

Doctor Bai furrowed his brows, and the next mont, he turned to Chen Jie and asked, "Where did you get this from?"

Hearing this, Chen Jie replied, "Master, do you recognize this?"

Doctor Bai instructed, "Go and bolt the door."

"There’s Brother Hong guarding outside; it’s fine."

"That won’t do, hurry and bolt it."

"Alright, alright."

Chen Jie imdiately complied and bolted the door. Returning to Doctor Bai, he asked, "Master, do you recognize this?"

"Tai Sui at."

"You know what it is and you still dare to show it to ," Doctor Bai said seriously.

Hearing this, Chen Jie smiled and said, "You are my master; how could you harm ?"

"Naive. Who said a master cannot harm his disciple? Do you know what this Tai Sui at represents?"

Chen Jie shook his head.

"It’s the foundation of the court, especially this fresh Tai Sui at. Do you know what that signifies?"
