Chu Mu was refining pills in the alchemy room, while Nalan Fenghua and the others were waiting in the inner hall of the Small Elixir House.
Time passed by slowly, and soon, two hours had passed. Within these two hours, the Small Elixir House had not made a single transaction. In other words, no one had come to buy pills in these two hours.
This was a tragedy. The pills sold by the Small Elixir House were all very low level. The main ones were the Energy Pill, Gold Injury Pill, and Blood Replenishing Pill. There were also a few Minor Yang Restoration Pills.
The Energy Pill, Gold Injury Pill, and Blood Replenishing Pill were all refined by Qin Yang, while the Minor Yang Restoration Pill was brought by Nalan Fenghua.
This kind of Small Elixir House was too weak and did not have any competitiveness. It was only a matter of time before it closed.
...
The temperature in the alchemy room was extremely high. Ordinary people would not be able to withstand it. Even an alchemy apprentice like Qin Yang would be sweating profusely if he stayed here for a long time. He would have to leave to rest and replenish his water. However, Chu Mu was not affected at all.
At this time, he had already refined four types of pills.
Energy Pill, Gold Injury Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill, and Minor Yang Restoration Pill.
Possessing the inheritance of the Pill Secret Codex, as well as various memories, Chu Mu's innate comprehension was monstrous, and his mental remembrance was incomparably powerful, above normal Alchemy Grandmasters. Adding on the fact that the pills he concocted were of extremely low rank, Chu Mu instantly grasped them.
Chu Mu had succeeded in his first attempt at pill concoction.
There were twelve Energy Pills, ten Gold Injury Pills and Blood Replenishing Pills, and eight Minor Yang Restoration Pills.
Chu Mu didn't know how many pills the other alchemists could produce in one furnace when concocting these four types of pills. Therefore, he didn't have much of a feeling. Next, he identified the quality of the pills.
"Not enough." Putting down the four types of pills, Chu Mu shook his head slightly. Obviously, he was not satisfied with this refining. If Qin Yang was here, he would definitely jump in shock.
After resting for a while, Zhang Xuan's mind was in a whirlwind as he recalled every single detail of his pill concoction. It was as if he was replaying it, and he could see it clearly. After that, he compared it with the memories he had obtained from the inheritance and found his own shortcomings. He would then perfect his flaws and do his best to do better the next time.
"In order to improve the quality of the pills, the first thing to do is to improve the purity of the medicinal herbs' essence." Chu Mu thought to himself as he began to think about how to improve the purity of the medicinal herbs' essence.
As he thought about it, Chu Mu suddenly thought of his own spiritual consciousness. With the assistance of spiritual consciousness, he could help in the extraction of medicinal herbs. If he directly used his spiritual consciousness to participate, would he be able to improve again?
Thinking of this, Chu Mu thought about the feasibility again and immediately took action.
Chu Mu took out the five herbs needed to refine the Energy Pill and heated up the furnace again. Then, he began to put in the first herb. His spiritual consciousness entered the furnace and began to extract the herbs.
Chu Mu took the initiative to directly use his spiritual consciousness to enter the melted medicinal herbs. Together with the technique and high temperature, he began to remove the impurities in the medicinal herbs.
With the direct participation of spiritual consciousness, the efficiency was higher.
After the extraction was completed, Chu Mu took out the medicinal herbs' essence and identified it. He found that the purity was 95%, which was 0.5% higher than before. However, compared to 99%, it was still not enough.
Next, Chu Mu was not in a hurry to refine the pills. Instead, he focused on extracting the medicinal herbs' essence. There were a lot of medicinal herbs here. They were all low-level medicinal herbs and their value was not high. It was a good place to practice.
The continuous extraction and the participation of spiritual consciousness made Chu Mu more and more proficient in extracting medicinal herbs' essence.
In the blink of an eye, another four hours had passed. Within these four hours, Chu Mu had extracted over three hundred medicinal herb essences. His proficiency had greatly increased, and the purity of the medicinal herb essences he extracted had reached 97%. At the same time, the extraction speed had also greatly increased, and the time taken had been reduced by a third.
With the inheritance, coupled with his own monstrous perception and tyrannical spiritual consciousness, the improvement of the medicinal herbs' essence in just four hours was enough to surpass the efforts of the general alchemist for more than ten years.
Chu Mu was so busy that he forgot himself. The people waiting outside were impatient.
"Qin Yang, how much time do you need to refine a batch of Energy Pill?" Nalan Fenghua asked.
"Energy Pill … half an hour …" Qin Yang froze for a moment and replied.
"What about other pills?" Nalan Fenghua asked again.
"Golden Injury Pill and Blood Replenishing Pill both need two hours. The Small Revitalizing Pill has not been successfully refined yet." Qin Yang said.
Nalan Fenghua nodded. Chu Mu entered the alchemy room. Three hours had passed, but there was still no movement.
Then, another two hours passed. At this time, Chu Mu was still extracting medicinal herbs' essence, and it was the Energy Pill.
Because he broke through the bottleneck, the five medicinal herbs' essence of the Energy Pill had reached 99%. As for 100%, it was too difficult. Even if Chu Mu obtained the inheritance, the alchemy grandmaster could only achieve 99%.
The five medicinal herbs' essence had reached 99% purity. Chu Mu began to use these five medicinal herbs' essence to refine pills.
The second time he refined the Energy Pill, combined with the previous shortcomings, Chu Mu was confident that he could refine a better Energy Pill this time.
His spiritual consciousness was directly involved again, watching the fusion process of the five medicinal herbs' essence in a deep level. It was vivid in his mind.
This feeling was very strange, and Chu Mu's basic alchemy technique was much more proficient. It was easy to do. Under the cooperation of the inside and outside, the formation speed of the Energy Pill was significantly increased.
About five minutes later, the five medicinal herbs' essences were completely fused and solidified, forming one pill after another.
When the alchemy furnace came out, Chu Mu already knew that the number of pills produced this time was higher, reaching 15 pills.
Each Energy Pill was the size of a soybean. Its appearance was delicate, smooth, and round. It looked very attractive, but there was no fragrance of the pill.
After distinguishing, Chu Mu nodded. The quality of this batch of Energy Pills was indeed higher than the first batch. The number of pills produced was also higher.
He suddenly remembered that he had been in the alchemy room for a few hours. He should go out and let them see the pills.
Thinking about this, Chu Mu walked out of the alchemy room with the five bottles of pills and went to the inner hall.
Seeing Chu Mu appear, everyone was stunned at first. Nalan Fenghua quickly stood up and looked at the five porcelain bottles in Chu Mu's hand with a hint of expectation.
Chu Mu placed the five porcelain bottles on the tea table in the inner hall.
"These are …" Nalan Fenghua sat down again.
"Pills." Chu Mu said lightly.
Qin Yang looked at Chu Mu and then at the five porcelain bottles.
Nalan Fenghua picked up one of the porcelain bottles and pulled out the cork. With a pop, a very faint fragrance of pills floated out. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't have noticed it.
"Why is there no fragrance of pills?" Maid Xiao Huan sniffed hard: "So there is, but why is it so faint? Could it be a waste pill? "
Nalan Fenghua poured out a pill. Everyone's gaze fell on the pill.
"Energy Pill!" Everyone exclaimed. Their expressions changed immediately. A trace of disappointment flashed across Nalan Fenghua's face.
Energy Pill was a first grade pill. It was the lowest grade among all the pills. Its value wasn't high.
"I thought there would be a surprise. It's actually the lowest grade Energy Pill. "Maid Xiao Huan said sarcastically.
Qin Yang, on the other hand, stared at the light yellow Energy Pill without blinking. Gradually, his expression turned serious as he strode over.
"Miss Nalan, can you let me see the pill?" While speaking, Qin Yang's voice was trembling slightly.
Nalan Fenghua passed the medicinal pill to Qin Yang. Qin Yang carefully picked it up and sniffed it. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted from it, causing his spirit to tremble. After that, he carefully stared at the medicinal pill in his hand, examining it from all angles. The more he looked, the more excited he became.
"Master Chu, may I ask if this is a flawless quality Energy Pill?" The excited Qin Yang abruptly turned towards Chu Mu and gave him a deep bow. At the same time, he called out the title of "Great Master". The words he said caused everyone present to be stunned and shocked.
The Nalan family's business mainly focused on pills. Although Nalan Fenghua didn't know how to refine pills and wasn't outstanding in identifying pills, she was very familiar with the basic knowledge of pills. As her maid, Xiao Huan also had some understanding of pills. As for the shopkeeper, because he was an elite pill shop, he naturally had some understanding.
The so-called flawless grade referred to the quality of the pill.
The same pill, according to the purity of the medicinal herbs' essence before refining, the technique during the refining process, and the difference between the final pill and the final pill, would have different grades. From low to high, it could be divided into five grades: rough, ordinary, excellent, flawless, and perfect.
The quality of the pill affected the effectiveness of the pill and the amount of pill toxins.
Although the pill was extracted from the medicinal herbs' essence, it also had a slight toxicity. It wasn't good for the human body to take it too many times. Therefore, the higher the grade of the pill, the less pill toxins and the greater the effectiveness of the pill.
It was said that a perfect grade pill would have no pill toxins and the effectiveness of the pill would be 100%.
However, a perfect grade pill was a legend.
Being able to reach the flawless grade was already the limit. For an alchemy apprentice like Qin Yang, most of the Energy Pills he refined were only of the rough grade. If used well, it could reach the ordinary grade.
With the flawless grade pills in their hands, everyone was very excited.
Nalan Fenghua quickly opened the bottle corks and poured out the pills. In addition to the Energy Pill, there were also Gold Injury Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill, and Small Revitalizing Pill. After Qin Yang's identification, they all reached the flawless grade.
The fifth bottle was opened and a pill was poured out. It was also light yellow and looked like an Energy Pill. However, after Qin Yang identified it, his whole body trembled violently because of excitement.
"Perfect … perfect … perfect … grade …" Qin Yang's body trembled violently as if he had epilepsy. His eyes widened as he stuttered and pointed at the Energy Pill in his hand. Suddenly, the inner hall exploded.
