"Xiao i, what do you an by your room? It's our room from now on," Ye Chen stated as he placed his personal items in the room.
Watching his actions, Li i couldn't help but glare at him.
However, she didn't say anything, as she thought he was just teasing her and wanted to make her angry.
'Humph, I won't fall for the sa tricks again,' she thought in her heart while looking at him with a pout.
There was still a lot of ti before the night, so she wasn't worried he would really stay here, at least for now.
Ye Chen knew what she was thinking, and he couldn't help but shook his head at her.
'Xiao i, I told the truth; it's just you who don't want to believe it.' He said inwardly and took out the old cauldron, which was filled with cracks.
It was in very bad condition because of the ice fla; however, it still held up together and could help with refining, but only for a few tis.
Nevertheless, it was enough for him, so he placed the cauldron carefully and took out a large batch of herbs.
It was even greater than what he wanted to refine before.
"Xiao i, I am going to refine so pills, so why don't you sit beside and watch? You will learn sothing new," he suggested as he saw her curious look.
Hearing this, Li i was really tempted; however, she gave him a vigilant look as she recalled what happened on the back of the eagle.
Just a while ago, she was worried about him and forgot what he had done to her.
But now with him invading her room and even asking to sit beside him, she felt he was planning to kiss her again.
Thinking of this, she gave him a resentful look and slowly moved forward with caution.
Of course, she wasn't planning to sit beside him but a distance away where his claws wouldn't reach her and would give her enough ti to run.
'Senior brother, you won't be able to do as you wish!' She thought to herself as she sat six feet away from him.
Ye Chen guessed what she was thinking, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
However, he didn't say anything to her and continued processing the herbs for a body strengthening pill.
Once he was done with this, he summoned the ice fla from his Dantian.
Watching the fla appear, Li i's expression changed a little; however, when she saw it was obedient and didn't set up the things on the fire, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was after all her room, and she didn't want to have her things burnt.
Just as she was thinking about this, sothing attracted her attention.
"Senior brother, the little fla seems to be taller, right?" She enquired with a surprised look.
"Yes, the fla is taller because it's recovering; however, this is how far it can go without any external help," Ye Chen answered calmly.
The fla was three inches tall when he refined it, but now it was five inches and has recovered its twenty percent of power.
Although the amount of recovery was not too much, by any chance the fla wasn't weak because it has enough power to turn any Qi gathering cultivator to ash; even the Qi refining cultivators might find trouble dealing with this.
If Ye Chen hadn't refined the fla, which damaged its core, the fla might've recovered fifty to seventy percent of the strength and would've burnt him to ash.
'This is really a good killing weapon, but it will consu a lot of spiritual consciousness and even the spiritual Qi just for one kill.' Ye Chen thought as he sent the fla beneath the cauldron and started heating it.
Once the cauldron reached the desired temperature, he made a gesture, making all the herbs fly and enter the cauldron in a sequenced manner.
After this, he beca serious, as each step of alchemy needed to be perford with precision.
The simple and basic steps of alchemy were: making a suitable environnt for refining the pill; baking the herbs and extracting the herb essence; purifying and bonding the herb essence; and lastly, condensing the herb essence into a pill.
Ye Chen was already done with the first step as the cauldron provided the environnt for refining the pills.
So, he didn't delay and started the second step by directly letting the ice fla inside the cauldron.
With his spiritual consciousness inside, he was able to see and control everything, even the temperature of the fla.
Because of this, he didn't have any problems and started to bake the herbs carefully.
This process was complicated because he had to do this separately and at different temperatures for each herb.
Moreover, he needed to make sure he would slowly extract the herb essence which was a special type of Qi belonging to every herb.
This special Qi was the herb essence and could only exist at the right temperature and in the right environnt.
If he just made a small mistake, the herb essence would evaporate, explode, or beco poisonous, making the second step fail.
The higher the tire of herbs, the more difficult it was to extract this herb essence from them.
Although Ye Chen had a divine alchemy art that could make this process simple, he was after all doing this for the first ti; moreover, he wanted to refine a few bottles of pills at once.
Because of this, he was more careful and was spending a lot of spiritual consciousness to bake the herb at the right temperature.
It didn't take too long, and the herb started to secrete a white Qi which ant the herb essence.
Watching this, Ye Chen beca even more careful and controlled everything with precision.
The old cauldron was only able to refine the pills for four to five tis, so he had to succeed with refining as he wanted to refine other pills too.
There was no room for error, hence he placed every bit of focus on it, carefully baking all the herbs and extracting their herb essence one by one.
This process looked slow, but it was completed within twenty minutes as there were only eight types of herbs along with a few supplentary herbs.
Although the amount of each herb was more than twenty, it didn't pose any problems as he baked and extracted their herb essence at once.
Now inside the cauldron were various colors of herb essences controlled by him precisely.
As for the dried herbs, they disintegrated into miniscule ash without causing problems.
