Chapter 31 - Herbalism

An additional storage pouch appeared in Huang Tian's hands. Other than a few dozen Thunderclap Beads and several tens of gold coins, his mental power was shrouded around some random stuff. However, these Thunderbolt Pearls were not bad, even he himself had fallen for the Thunderbolt Pearls, so how could the samurai possibly be heavily injured after being struck by a few Thunderbolt Pearls? No wonder he dared to chase after her. How did he refine the Thunderbolt Bead?

With a thought, Huang Tian took out two jade slips from a pile of junk. He enveloped them with his spirit force, and after a while, Huang Tian was overjoyed. On a jade slip was the method of refining the Thunderbolt Bead. It was said that the Thunderbolt Bead also had levels. The most common Thunderbolt Bead was enough to kill a martial artist and cause heavy injuries to them. There was also the even more powerful Thunderbolt Beads that even Martial Master Expert could kill. But the materials needed to refine this powerful Thunderbolt Bead were also extraordinary. He definitely had to spend a lot of gold coins? However, if he could create some powerful Thunderbolt Beads, it would undoubtedly be a life saving card at a critical moment.

The other jade slip was of no importance to Huang Tian, it was a technique to restrain his Qi, and it was considered not bad. The Emperor Ghost Art that Huang Tian was training in contained information on restraining auras, just that his cultivation level was not high, and it did not matter that he could not restrain his Qi. However, this fellow acted like a pig to eat the tiger, and suddenly ambushed him with a very good method to deal with the enemy. If he suffered a setback in the future, he would grow wiser. It seemed that he would have to suppress his cultivation and act like a pig to eat a tiger in the future.

Huang Tian shook his head and struck out with his Fire Palm, releasing a terrifying flame that enveloped the corpse and turned into ashes a moment later. Huang Tian then looked far away and disappeared once again into the forest?

Huang Tian was not in a hurry, after being injured he took a few healing pellets, compared to his body's self-recovery rate, which was much faster, thus Huang Tian was determined to become an Alchemist.

Ginseng, Notoginseng, Rhubarb, Dry Ginger, Gastrodia and other herbs needed to concoct the Pei-Yuan Dan.

White Fruit, White Angelica, Artemisia dahurica, White Peony Root and other herbs used to concoct the Poison Repellent Pill.

The blood used to concoct the Scourge Pill was at the level of Pinellia ternate and Bamboo Yellow.

Sons who concoct the Bone Continuing Pill, myrrh, incense, white art, etc. Along the way, they even collected a full storage bag and found a quiet natural cave. Huang Tian was prepared to start concocting pills. Huang Tian who was cross legged in the cave had a pile of various herbs beside him. With a wave of his hand, the Skyfire Cauldron that was emitting a strong fire element appeared in front of Huang Tian. Huang Tian carefully recalled his memories regarding the Sky Ghost's refining process and the steps of refining the pill. After a long while, a streak of red flame slowly surfaced from Huang Tian's palm and imprinted itself onto the Skyfire Cauldron.

The flame was like a fire snake circling the Skyfire Cauldron in a circle, slowly burning? The first step of refining a pill was not to refine the herbal essence, but to warm the pill furnace. This was the most time-consuming and important step? The pill furnace was too hot. The herbs would turn into ashes the moment they were placed in the furnace, making it impossible to refine. If the furnace was not hot, it would not have achieved the purpose of purification. Even if the furnace was not uniform, it would directly affect the purification degree of the herbs. If one wanted to refine pills, the first step would have to be to master the heating temperature of the pill furnace as well as its uniform conditions.

As time passed, the Fire Snake still hovered around the Skyfire Cauldron, and the temperature in the cave gradually rose. As time passed, Huang Tian could clearly feel that the Skyfire Cauldron's temperature was increasing, from outside to inside, it still seemed to be burning red, and it emitted this purer flame element? Huang Tian felt that he was close to it, and quickly took out a bamboo yellow sword that was still inside the Skyfire Cauldron. But in the next moment, Huang Tian only heard a "Zi zi" sound, and that bamboo yellow light instantly turned into ashes?

"Eh, it's too hot?" The elemental energy around Huang Tian slowly decreased, and the fire serpent enveloping the Skyfire Cauldron also gradually weakened. After waiting for an hour, and sensing that the temperature had decreased a little, Huang Tian casually picked up a stalk of Agarwood and threw it into the Skyfire Cauldron. The fragrance of the Skyfire Cauldron slowly dried up and after a moment, it started to burn before turning into ashes once more? Huang Tian was speechless, was the temperature too high? However, he had already collected quite a number of flames and the temperature had dropped quite a bit. Why was it still high? After hesitating for a moment, Huang Tian suddenly remembered something, and immediately picked up a bamboo shoot and threw it into the Skyfire Cauldron.

A miraculous scene happened. The bamboo Huang Zhi's body seemed to have water evaporated from the high temperature, a wave of mist started to envelop the entire bamboo yellow, after a while the bamboo yellow started to decompose, turning into a light yellow liquid? Huang Tian was overjoyed, it seemed that the temperature required to melt different herbs was different? If he could not master the melting temperature of these herbs, could he not succeed? Huang Tian was a little helpless again. In his memories, this aspect was not complete, if he did not study systematically, then he would have to rely on his own little bit of practice, which would allow him to become an alchemist in years and months? He did not know how many herbs he would waste. He recalled the melting point of the medicinal herbs in his mind and pondered for a moment.

Feeling the temperature of the Skyfire Cauldron once again, he threw a stalk of half a summer plant into the Skyfire Cauldron. The melting point of half a summer was slightly higher than that of the bamboo yellow. After melting the bamboo Huang Zhi, it would only melt half a summer. Very quickly, half a summer had turned into a drop of green liquid. The temperature of the flame in Huang Tian's hand continued to increase, and finally, blood was poured into the Skyfire Cauldron, quickly turning into a blood-red liquid? The three drops of liquid were yellow, green, and red respectively, sparkling and glistening.

After dissolving the three herbs, what was left was to fuse and purify. This step was naturally extremely crucial, the effect of the Scourge Pill would depend mainly on the fusion and purifying process. Huang Tian's mental energy swarmed into the Skyfire Cauldron, controlling three drops of sparkling liquid to converge together. Even when the three colors mixed, it was hard to tell what color it was. The flames in Huang Tian's palm continuously struck out, and under the control of his mind, the three drops of liquid continuously wiggled.

As the temperature passed by, Huang Tian could clearly feel that this pool of liquid contained traces of surging gases. There were even some impurities within the gases, which kept on being expelled by the gases. Huang Tian nodded his head in satisfaction. This was the color after the Scourge Pill was formed, looks like there was no problem with purification? After purification, the last step was to form a pill. This was the last step, and also the step that consumed the most mana? It all depends on the final result!

Huang Tian bellowed, and the flames in his palm immediately soared, enveloping the Skyfire Cauldron. The temperature of the Skyfire Cauldron instantly increased by ten times, the terrifying high temperature directly evaporated the ball of light blue liquid and started to form into a pill? Huang Tian was overjoyed. Was it going to be a pill?
