After all, flowers may bloom again, but youth shall never return.
A Human Essence Pill is such a divine dicine that grants eternal youth.
Once taken, one remains forever eighteen, as beautiful as a flower.
Given that it’s a divine dicine, the refining process is naturally challenging; even holding the recipe, the failure rate is daunting.
The materials are exceedingly rare, especially the Langhua Jade Osmanthus, of which there is only one.
Langgan is an Immortal Tree from mythical legends, ranked among the top ten Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, thus the fruits it produces are Celestial Materials above the Earth Treasure Level, incredibly precious.
Such rare treasures, if not gifted by Kang Jinlong, Ye Qingzhou wouldn’t know where to find another.
Therefore, Ye Qingzhou wouldn’t start with refining the Human Essence Pill; instead, he would practice with other pills first, among which Exotic Fruit and Fire Pattern Fruit are the main materials for refining the Rising Essence Pill.
Alchemy is a ticulous craft, but for Ye Qingzhou, the difficulty is not high, as his Swordsmanship excels in precise control of power.
"My alchemy skill is not yet at Entry Level; to refine the Human Essence Pill, it needs to be at least at the Mastery Realm. However, my Fire Control Skill has reached Great Success, which is a plus."
In alchemy, mastery of fire is paramount.
Therefore, Fire Control Skill is extrely crucial, but Ye Qingzhou has cultivated the Fla Sun Treasure Seal, his Fire Control Skill is at the Great Success Realm, saving considerable effort.
Subsequently, in the quiet room, Ye Qingzhou carefully selected, washed, moistened, sliced, dried, and crushed the herbs, processing them ticulously.
He was very serious, even ticulous, as this was related to his cultivation progress.
The processed herbs were poured batch by batch into the Shennong Cauldron, then urged with Six Ding Divine Fla for refining.
Six Ding Divine Fla is one of the Nine Great Divine Flas of heaven and earth, not skilled in offense or defense, nor self-healing, but its ability to alter material properties is extraordinarily wonderful, possessing imnse potential.
If used well, it can often bring many incredible effects.
Soon, within the Shennong Cauldron, the properties and powers of Exotic Fruit and Fire Pattern Fruit were extracted by Six Ding Divine Fla, transforming into a primordial essence.
Ye Qingzhou concentrated fully, first gently roasting with mild fire to refine out floating impurities from the primordial essence, then using martial fire to enhance the properties, boosting its potency.
Finally, when the primordial essence cooled and solidified, it ford into pearl-sized pills.
"Rising Essence Pill, Good Grade pills, barely at the Entry Level; indeed, my herb processing thods have much room for improvent."
Ye Qingzhou picked one from a dozen pills, holding it in his hand; these pills were perfectly round and full, displaying a lustrous white color; purely in terms of quality, they were quite good.
Many dicine students who have practiced for two and a half years within the dical academy have levels about equal to his.
But Ye Qingzhou is a perfectionist; thus, in alchemy, he must perfect each step, quickly advancing to an innovative and subtle realm, adjusting each procedure and each phase ticulously.
After spending several days, Ye Qingzhou finally raised his alchemy skill to the Skilled Realm.
And the Rising Essence Pill he refined also reached Fine Grade, which can raise the cultivation level of its consur by a large level, and the duration of the effect is extended by twenty percent.
Sotis, this twenty percent enhancent could an the difference between life and death for a Martial Artist.
Due to taking leave from school, Ye Qingzhou spent days imrsed in alchemy at ho until Uncle Liang called: "Mr. Ye."
"What’s the matter? Didn’t I say not to disturb unless it’s important?"
"But, your mother has co."
"???"
Ye Qingzhou stepped out of the quiet room into the front hall and indeed saw a "familiar" figure, Chengg Yurong.
Though already thirty-six, ti seed not to have left many marks on her; living in luxury for years, she was not only exquisitely beautiful, stunning beyond compare, but her every move exuded endless charm and allure.
For the original owner, she was his most beloved and cherished mother.
However, for Ye Qingzhou, Chengg Yurong was rely an "outsider."
"Qingzhou..."
Chengg Yurong softly called, but after speaking, expressed a wanting-to-speak-but-hesitating stance.
Seeing this, Uncle Liang promptly spoke up: "I’ll go make tea."
Once there was no one else around, Chengg Yurong then concernedly asked: "Have you... been well these years?"
Ye Qingzhou casually sat down, his expression unmoved by Chengg Yurong’s arrival, his tone distant and cold: "If you’re here to express concern, there’s no need, as I’m quite busy."
"Qingzhou... I want to ask you to help the Gu Family..."
Chengg Yurong spoke with difficulty.
"You want to help the Gu Family?"
Ye Qingzhou almost thought he heard wrong; he truly hadn’t imagined people could be so shaless, so he looked at Chengg Yurong with curiosity: "Are you sure you’re not joking?"
"Qingzhou, I indeed owed you much back then, but I have my own difficulties..."
"Haha, your difficulty probably stems from worrying if your status as the Gu Family’s first lady is at risk, right?"
Ye Qingzhou coldly laughed: "Back then, the Gu Family set up a sche against my father, and now you expect to save the Gu Family?"
"Qingzhou, you’ve misunderstood; the incident back then wasn’t as you think. Changqing actually didn’t participate, and these years, if it weren’t for his covert protection, the Gu Family would have targeted you long ago."
