After picking up the large pot, Yan Xiaobao placed it in front of him and summoned two flas from deep within. One was green, while the other was a mix of red and yellow.
These flas poured into the pot and began to glow as it started to project into the air. Suspended about half a ter above the ground, the two flas inside spun around each other, battling. Only when Yan Xiaobao focused his will on these flas and forced them to work together did they gradually stop fighting and instead rge. As the two flas spun slowly within the Crucible, they intertwined, resembling Yin and Yang.
Man Yue nodded. Yan Xiaobao took a red Orchid and tossed it into the large pot. He watched as the flas consud the flower, leaving behind energy.
The red fla was destroyed, and from the energy absorbed by the red fla, the green fla produced a paste-like base. It took only a few minutes to complete the full refinent of the first red Orchid. He saw that the Orchid paste left behind was almost insignificant. The flower had filled his entire palm, but the essence left was less than the smallest part of his little finger.
Repeating this action three tis, the paste ford from the energy of the red Orchids naturally beca more than before. After refining three flowers, he added the Green Spirit Grass.
Green Spirit Grass was more difficult to refine than the red Orchid. Yan Xiaobao found it hard to control the heat of the flas since this wasn’t sothing he had really practiced before. The red Orchid didn’t require a specific temperature for refinent, as it was a simple dicinal plant easy to handle, but the Green Spirit Grass was a slightly rare ingredient. It demanded that the temperature isn’t too high during refinent, otherwise, it would turn to ash. If this happened, the delicate essence of the Green Elf Grass turning to ash would not only ruin the paste he was trying to make but could also beco toxic.
During the refinent of materials and pill concoction, two outcos might occur if sothing goes wrong. One is that the refined energy would cause an explosion, and the higher the grade of the material, the more dangerous the explosion. The second possibility is that the paste or pill becos complete, but due to incorrect refinent thods, it becos toxic or has unknown and unwanted side effects.
However, Yan Xiaobao quickly grasped the flas and controlled them. After a while, he managed to improve the Green Grass Spirit. He didn’t perfect it, but it was definitely not toxic, which was a good result for his first attempt.
Now, Yan Xiaobao drew the red fla back into his body but left the green fla in the large pot. With his will, the green fla enveloped the paste and gently urged the items to start rging together. Yan Xiaobao used his will to control the green fla, making it spin slightly, causing the items to move closer to one another until they pressed against each other with great force to the point where they started to rge.
Yan Xiaobao continuously combined these pastes and spots until they finally rged perfectly. The paste was a deep red color with so shiny speckles inside.
Creating a pill is many tis more difficult than creating a paste, but even then, Yan Xiaobao was surprised at how simple it was to create this salve. He imdiately looked at the large pot in front of him, understanding that the success rate was due to this invaluable pot. It was clearly not simple.
Yan Xiaobao originally planned to wait for next month’s exam, but after creating 10 flawless stickers, he decided to attend the exam in four days.
"Should I concoct sothing more challenging?" Hui Yue pondered as he looked at the ten jade bottles before him. All of them contained the Devouring Paste made from red Orchids. Although it was his first ti refining and concocting, these ten bottles were enough for Yan Xiaobao to beco a competent Alchemist.
"No, I should continue practicing this," he decided. Yan Xiaobao knew that the pastes he created were of no use to his friends, but he also knew they sold very well. Despite being cheap to make, they required an alchemist to complete the process. Most alchemists wouldn’t make them because they were below their level, and only apprentices would make these low-grade pastes. Thus, their quality tended to be lower compared to a proper alchemist’s products.
"I know the Royal Academy buys a lot of these pastes because they can get them." Yan Xiaobao mused, "But before thinking about money, I should help my friends."
"I will share with Deng Wu and Wang Julong, but unfortunately, they no longer have families. Gao Yan’s followers are not true cultivators either. That leaves with the twins and Ma Kong. I think I should divide them evenly between these two groups." Yan Xiaobao nodded. "Alright, now let’s perfect this so that even without this large pot, I can still create this paste without any issues."
Having said that, Yan Xiaobao once again fully imrsed himself in the refinent of the paste. He couldn’t idle around because if he allowed himself a short break, he would end up hating himself for not protecting Sha Yun. Sighing, Yan Xiaobao pushed away all his thoughts and looked at the large pile of red Orchids in front of him. He would be busy for a while. Yan Xiaobao fully imrsed himself in his room. He created paste after paste. His success rate was an astounding one hundred percent. Even so, it was easy to see the difference between the first batch of paste he created and the new paste.
