Therefore, Tang Ao naturally saw the changes in the herbs in Lu Yu's cauldron. After seeing the speed at which the Heaven Cloud Flame refined the essences of the herbs, Tang Ao was secretly envious. Although the alchemy fire could also be used to refine pills, a normal fire like the alchemy fire was obviously not enough to refine high-grade pills. Moreover, while the alchemy fire could be used to refine low-grade pills, the speed was extremely slow.
Refining a top-grade Vitality Augmenting Pill required 36 kinds of medicinal herbs. After a while, Lu Yu put the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one. However, Lu Yu had also extracted the medicinal essences of 17 kinds of spirit grasses. Moreover, the essences of several kinds of spirit grasses had impressively been fused together. Seeing Lu Yu's method, Tang Ao knew that Lu Yu was definitely not simple.
Of course, Lu Yu's method wasn't completely useless. Instead, it was to lock in the medicinal efficacy to the greatest extent. This caused the loss of medicinal efficacy to be minimized during the refining process of the herbs into pills. This method seemed simple, but to achieve this level of alchemy, apart from having an abnormally agile soul remembrance, one had to be very familiar with the changes of the essence of the herbs at every stage.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Tang Ao really wouldn't believe that the alchemists of the Flying Star Continent could do this. After all, even Tang Ao himself could only do this when refining pills that he was relatively familiar with. Of course, Tang Ao also didn't know if this was because Lu Yu often refined supreme-grade Vitality Cultivating Pills.
When Lu Yu had extracted the essence of seventeen types of spiritual herbs, Tang Ao had yet to completely extract the essence of a single type of spiritual herb. This was because Tang Ao wasn't just putting on an act when he threw all the herbs into the cauldron. After Tang Ao threw all the herbs into the cauldron, Tang Ao also refined all the herbs at the same time.
If other alchemists saw this scene, they would definitely be so shocked that they wouldn't be able to speak. The reason why refining pills needed to be refined one by one was because the soul remembrance of alchemists was limited. They couldn't control the changes of too many herbs in the cauldron at the same time. However, Tang Ao's soul remembrance was too powerful, and clearly wasn't suitable for normal pill concoction methods. Moreover, the reason why Tang Ao did this was also to reduce the loss of medicinal efficacy during the process of refining the Spiritual Grass into Elixirs.
Time slowly passed. Although Tang Ao's pill concoction speed had increased after his soul remembrance recovered, compared to Lu Yu's Heavenly Cloud Flame, Tang Ao's speed was still too slow. Even after Lu Yu had refined all 36 types of spiritual herbs, Tang Ao's spiritual herbs were still not complete. However, Tang Ao also discovered something interesting. When Lu Yu was refining the elixir, he did not use the classic elixir recipe for refining the supreme-grade Vitality Enhancement Elixir. Instead, he used his own modified version.
Although the spirit herbs that Lu Yu modified were different from his, Lu Yu's thought process when modifying the pill formula was exactly the same as his. Seeing this, Tang Ao silently sighed in admiration. One had to know that Tang Ao was the descendant of the Shennong Emperor and had the Hundred Herb Collection, so he had a very deep understanding of many spiritual herbs. It was also because of this that Tang Ao was able to make such modifications to the supreme-grade Vitality Cultivating Pill's pill formula.
