After returning from the Peach Forest, Mu Qingge instructed You He and Hua Yue to guard the courtyard gate well, not allowing anyone to disturb her. Their three daily als were all delivered to her room, and then collected afterward.
In a side room of Mu Qingge’s chamber, the small room’s three walls were filled with dicine cabinets.
On each drawer, the na of the herb was written.
In the center of the room, stood a Three-legged dicine Cauldron, along with a long table, which could be used for sorting herbs and preparation before alchemy.
Mu Qingge stood in this room, surveyed around, and nodded in satisfaction.
In the Dan God’s legacy, to learn alchemy, one must first master the most basic potion-making.
Using spiritual power to assist in combining different quantities of herbs according to the elixir recipe, refine them through the Pill Furnace. Only after refining ten furnaces perfectly, without any loss of dicinal powder, is one considered to have grasped the fundantals of alchemy, potion-making.
Only by truly mastering this step can one enter the initial phase of potion-making and try to refine Low Level Elixirs.
So-called Low Level Elixirs are basically similar to what Mu Qingge previously understood as golden sore dicine and Blood Circulation Powder. If we imagine a bit more, it’s like the cold dicines and digestive tablets that every household had in her previous life.
Even though Low Level Elixirs are low in ranking and generally effective, they are not common in Qin Country. It’s more accurate to say that in Qin Country, there are more dicinal soups and dicines than elixirs.
Because Qin Country has almost no Alchemists. The few who do exist are supported by the Imperial Family and large clans to refine elixirs for them. The elixirs produced are mostly of low to interdiate level, with more Low Level Elixirs and fewer Interdiate Elixirs.
Back then, when Mu Xiong took out the elixir to save Mu Qingge, no one in Qin Country could have refined or even possessed it.
With everything prepared, Mu Qingge stretched lazily, seemingly ready to show her skills.
Turning to look at Mo Yang, who had everything arranged secretly here, she said, "You’ve done well with this task, but rember to keep it confidential, not even telling the old man."
"Yes." Mo Yang nodded without any hesitation.
In terms of following Mu Qingge’s orders, he did better than You He and Hua Yue.
Waving her hand, Mu Qingge said, "You may leave now. Unless I call for you, don’t co in no matter what happens."
Mo Yang responded, turned around, left the room, and closed the door properly.
Inside the room, the scent of various herbs filled the air, which Mu Qingge found quite uncomfortable. But she ultimately persevered.
"Isn’t it just alchemy? I don’t believe it’s that difficult!" Mu Qingge stretched her limbs, walked towards the long table, and began recalling the basic thods from the legacy.
"First, pick the herbs, sort them, weigh them, grind them, and finally refine them!"
Once the steps of potion-making were thoroughly morized, Mu Qingge rolled up her sleeves and got to work!
She intended to refine the simplest Clear Heart Powder.
This dicine’s effect is to concentrate and calm the mind, having a soothing function. It’s quite similar to the Calming Incense from her previous life.
Thanks to the Dan God’s legacy, she didn’t need to exert effort to rember the thousands of herb appearances and various effects, compatibilities, and contradictions. Those fundantal pharmacological knowledge were etched in her mind, impossible to forget.
If soone were to compete with Mu Qingge in herb recognition, even the best Alchemist on Linchuan Continent wouldn’t surpass her.
However, if required to compete in alchemy, any apprentice could easily defeat her.
After taking out the herbs needed for Clear Heart Powder from the dicine cabinets, Mu Qingge clearly categorized and arranged them one by one.
She then ticulously picked out the mixed grass clippings and those herbs that were poorly developed.
After sorting and dividing the herbs, she began to weigh them.
In this tedious process, Mu Qingge sighed lightly in her heart: Alchemy is truly a task that combines physical strength and ntal effort. The main thing is that you have to endure loneliness.
Because this process is extrely monotonous!
Tightly pursing her lips, Mu Qingge stared at the scale, weighing the last herb.
By the ti all preliminary preparations were ready, three hours had already passed.
Finishing the food brought by You He in the middle, Mu Qingge sat cross-legged before the Pill Furnace to cultivate her spirit.
According to the Dan God’s legacy, it’s not easy to refine and blend different herbs into powder. Due to differing properties, an inadvertent clash can lead to a furnace explosion, resulting in alchemy failure.
Moreover, this step requires spiritual power guidance to complete. One must extend their spirit into the Pill Furnace, harmonizing the fierce collisions between different powders, guiding them to rge smoothly.
Therefore, before proceeding to the next step, Mu Qingge must nurture her spirit and face the challenge.
After a stick of incense, Mu Qingge gently opened her eyes. Her clear and deep eyes flashed with a bright glimr, and her spiritual power was fully vibrant, ready for alchemy.
Taking a portion of the Clear Heart Powder’s mixture in front of her, Mu Qingge opened the Pill Furnace’s lid.
She pulled out the Fire Stick and threw it into the stove beneath the Pill Furnace.
Swoosh—a kindling and fire oil placed within swiftly ignited.
Orange-red flas leaped upward, with tongues of fire continuously licking the base of the Pill Furnace.
Feeling the Pill Furnace gradually heat up, Mu Qingge threw the first portion of herbs into the Pill Furnace.
Spiritual power is quite an elusive thing. Those who can perceive it naturally know what it is, while those who cannot, no matter how it’s described to them, cannot truly understand what it really is.
For Mu Qingge, spiritual power is not unfamiliar.
Like transparent tendrils, her spiritual power quietly extended from her brow, stretching towards the Pill Furnace, entering it, transforming into the infant-like small hand, manipulating the herbs within the Pill Furnace...
