C162 First pill concoction

As for the strange idea that suddenly popped up in his mind, although he was puzzled, Fang Ming was still unable to thoroughly verify it. After thinking for a while, he threw it to the side and continued to use the Eye of the Heavenly Dao's ability to store all the books in the Book Collection Vault into the Alchemy Book.

It was only two hours later that Fang Ming walked out of the Apothecary Guild's Book Collection Vault. Currently, he already had an extremely deep understanding of alchemy, and all of this was thanks to the Enlightenment Spirit Diagram of the Heavenly Dao.

However, a hint of disappointment could be seen on his face. The first two levels only allowed him to reach the level of a 3-star apothecary at best, and he placed all books related to 4-star apothecary forging on the third level of the book collection vault.

However, the result was satisfactory, because the original plan was to understand the ancient pill, but who would've thought that he would actually find a record of it? The ancient pill was called the Five Elements Xuan Core, but the pill formula was already lost!

Just like what Lu Yulong said, it was only a level two pellet, a pellet used to raise one's cultivation. But what Lu Yulong did not say was that this pellet had a huge effect on Kong Ming Realm!

However, because it had been sealed in the Stone of Origin for too long, it had lost more than half of its strength. This allowed Lu Yulong to think that it was only effective on gods!

Furthermore, there was one thing that Lu Yulong could not determine. It was that swallowing a Five Elements Xuan Core to raise one's cultivation, unlike other pellets that could raise one's cultivation, would have serious side effects!

After fully understanding the effects of the ancient pill, Fang Ming was secretly excited in his heart, it was as though he had obtained a treasure!

In the past, there was a secondary star that could provide him with large amounts of elemental energy. He didn't need pills to improve his elemental energy, and he could buy healing and recovery pills.

Now that he wanted to light up his secondary star, it was no longer realistic to rely on it to quickly increase his cultivation. It was impossible to find so many secondary star bloodlines!

As for the Spirit Stones, let alone the fact that it was difficult to obtain Spirit Stones, just the fact that the Enlightenment Spirit Diagram of the Heavenly Dao had taken seventy percent, was enough to give him a headache. Other people could breakthrough after absorbing one hundred Spirit Stones, but he needed three or four hundred!

Now that he had obtained a pill that could raise his cultivation level, as long as he could determine the recipe, he would be able to refine a large amount of it and increase his cultivation level rapidly!

However, there was one big problem. Even though he had a lot of knowledge on pill refining, he did not know how to differentiate between the two.

All kinds of elixirs and elixirs, what kind of elixirs will be produced after the elixir is refined, these are things that could not be learned in books, and require a large amount of experience!

"Looks like I need to practice alchemy …"

Fang Ming muttered to himself, then went to find Lu Yulong again. After all, he did not have the identity of an alchemist, so he was unable to rent a pill refining room in the guild.

"You want to forge pills?"

He had heard from Ling Zhengcai that Fang Ming had never learned how to refine pills before. Now that he had read the book for two hours, he came over and said that he wanted to refine pills?

No matter how he looked at it, it felt that it was a little unreliable, especially when Ling Zhengcai mentioned about this fellow's' glorious achievements' in the Green Thunder City.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but shiver!

"Un, why don't you bring me to an apothecary examination and I can rent my own alchemy lab!"

Fang Ming nodded his head, after all, begging was better than asking for help, if he could become a pill refiner, then he could directly rent a pill refining room.

"What?" "You want to take the apothecary examination?"

Hearing this, Lu Yulong almost choked on his own saliva, because just before the incense was given to him, he heard a piece of news from a disciple's mouth. Yesterday, there was a guy called 'Fang Ming' who went to Formation Masters Guild to take the examination. It directly destroyed the entrance passage!

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Seeing the other party's expression, Fang Ming was a little confused.

"You've learned pill forging before?"

"Nope, I just suddenly wanted to learn how to refine pills after reading a book."

Hearing this, Lu Yulong's body shook and his vision went black. He almost fainted. This was too unreliable!

"How about this, let me see you concoct it in my private pill refinement room. If there are no problems, I will then take you to take the exam!"

He really did not dare to help this fellow rent a furnace, nor did he dare to bring this guy to the assessment to refine pills. But Ling Zhengcai was a benefactor to him, and he had promised to help Fang Ming.

"Great, then thank you, Elder Lu!" Fang Ming revealed a face full of joy, and immediately expressed his thanks.

Just like that, the two of them arrived at the pill forging room.

Ding dong!

Fang Ming lightly knocked on the furnace, then circled around the furnace once, touched the inside of the furnace, and then tapped on the furnace wall again!

However, his actions had shocked Lu Yulong. What was he planning to do?

What he did not know was that these were the [Book of Alchemy] 's pill refining techniques. Understanding the pill furnace's condition first was an important factor in the process!

"Elder Lu, can you give me a pill formula for the simplest kind? Can you also sell me a set of ingredients?"

After researching for a while, Fang Ming suddenly said in embarrassment. There were all kinds of books on pill refining in the library, but there were no pill formulas.

"No problem, this is the pill formula and this is the material, so we don't need the money. Anyway, it's not something valuable, so you should take a look at the pill formula first."

Lu Yulong took out a piece of beast skin and some herbs, but they were not elixirs. They were just ordinary herbs.

Fang Ming took the beast skin and looked at it. There was a record of a medicinal formula on it, it could only be considered a very ordinary healing pill, not even a Rank 1 Spirit Pill.

After looking for a while, he memorized the pill formulas and began to heat up the furnace. He then followed the order stated in the recipe and threw each stalk of medicinal herb into the furnace.

The most important part of the pill forging process was the control of the temperature within the pill furnace. The temperature was too low to remove the impurities. Even if a pill was refined, it would still be a poison pill!

As the saying goes, three parts poison can become extremely toxic when the poison of various herbs is mixed together!

If the temperature was too high, the herbs would be destroyed. What was produced was not a pill, but a pile of charred medicinal powder!

Fang Ming carefully controlled the Earth Fire and had the [Alchemy Book] 's refining knowledge. This was not a problem, the medicinal strength of the herbs were being refined little by little inside the pill furnace, and all sorts of impurities were being burned away until only a pool of the medicinal liquid remained.

Seeing Fang Ming's pill refining techniques, Lu Yulong's face gradually revealed a look of surprise. It was not like this was his first time refining pills at all, but more like someone who had studied the art of pill refining for dozens of years. He was even more proficient in it than Fang Ming!

However, he knew that this was only the refining stage, and it was not yet the time for the pill to be truly formed. Only by turning the medicinal liquid into a pill would one be considered to have completed the pill forging.

However, to be able to refine such a basic healing pill, one could only be considered an apprentice apothecary. This was because this was only an ordinary pill. Only by refining a spiritual pill could one truly be considered a true apothecary!

Finally, the solution gradually dried up. In the end, the most important step was to form the pill!
