He might as well ask Elder Ling. With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately went to look for Elder Ling.
He could figure it out by himself, but time was of the essence. He did not have much time to waste, so he naturally went to look for Elder Ling.
Soon, Linlong arrived at Elder Ling's medicine refining room. Elder Ling was clearly refining something.
If it was anyone else, they would not be able to enter. However, after seeing that it was Linlong, the guards at the door immediately opened up a path for Linlong to enter.
Elder Ling had previously instructed that if Linlong came, there was no need to ask him, and that Linlong should be allowed to enter.
After entering, Linlong saw Elder Ling frowning as he stared at the solution in front of him. It was obvious that he had encountered something troublesome.
At this moment, he did not seem to notice that Linlong had already entered.
Linlong immediately walked over.
Old Ling only came back to his senses when he heard the footsteps beside him. When he saw Lin Long, he couldn't help but shout, "Little brother Lin, you're finally here. If you still didn't come, I would have gone to find you."
"What's wrong, Elder Ling? You're in trouble again?" Linlong smiled.
"Yes, I'm in trouble. I don't know why the Ground Blue Grass turned the entire solution turbid when I put it in. I thought for a long time but could not figure out the reason," Elder Ling said with a bitter expression.
"Ground Blue Grass?"
"Yes." Elder Ling nodded, then told Linlong about the trouble he had encountered in detail.
After he finished, Linlong understood and immediately smiled. "Elder Ling, put the Ground Blue Grass in the solution, and before you concoct it, use fire alum to refine it …"
"Ah … I understand!" After hearing Lin Long's words, Old Ling immediately thought of the reason and wanted to test it out.
However, Linlong stopped him. "Elder Ling, wait a moment."
Linlong knew that Elder Ling would definitely find out once he tested it out, but that would waste a lot of time. He did not want to wait beside Elder Ling for nothing.
"Hmm? What's wrong? "Elder Ling asked, puzzled.
"I have already started refining the Spirit Calming Pill, but I ran into trouble at the beginning. I want to ask you, did you run into trouble at the beginning?" Linlong asked.
Elder Ling's eyes widened even before Linlong finished speaking. When Linlong finished, Elder Ling could not help but shout, "You understood and started refining so quickly?"
It was no wonder that he was shocked. One must know that he had seriously studied it for several days before starting to refine it. Although he had already witnessed Lin Long's extraordinary speed over the past few days, he was still shocked by Lin Long's words.
After all, Linlong had just obtained the pill formula for the Spirit Calming Pill from him.
"Yes." Linlong nodded.
"Freak, you really are a freak!" Elder Ling, who was staring at Linlong, could not help but say.
"There's a pill in the Tambura Desert that's very similar to this. That's why I was able to refine it so quickly," Linlong said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Elder Ling was skeptical.
Then, he said, "Try refining now. I want to see which step you have a problem with."
"Alright." After replying, Lin Long took out all sorts of medicinal ingredients and started to concoct them.
After the configuration was done, he began to refine it. Very quickly, he failed at the beginning.
His failure seemed to be within Elder Ling's expectations. Elder Ling nodded and said, "That's right. It's indeed easy to fail at this step. Back then, I also failed at this step for a long time. I only understood what was going on after a month. Even if someone guided me, it was the same."
"From what Elder Ling said, it seems like the trouble you encountered later on will be more difficult than this step?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"That's right. Even now, I am not confident that I can solve the trouble I encounter later on. That's why I often fail." Elder Ling nodded.
"Is that so?"
"However, the first step is easy to solve. I will tell Little Brother Lin your method now. I believe that with your talent, you will be able to solve this problem in less than seven or eight days," Elder Ling immediately said.
"Then, I will have to trouble Elder Ling." Linlong nodded.
Elder Ling immediately told Linlong the method to solve the problem.
After Elder Ling finished speaking, Linlong began to ponder. As he pondered, he completely ignored Elder Ling. As for Elder Ling, he also began to do what he did before.
According to Linlong's instructions, he quickly resolved the trouble he had just encountered.
This Little Brother Lin is really amazing! Elder Ling could not help but sigh.
I wonder if the people of the Tambura Desert are amazing, or if I am the amazing one? Soon after, such a thought appeared in his mind.
However, he felt that it should be the second type. After all, no matter how amazing a tribe is, it is impossible for all of them to be powerful alchemists.
Just as Elder Ling was sighing, Linlong clearly came back to his senses. He had already begun to refine the Spirit Calming Pill.
So fast! Elder Ling naturally sighed again.
What happened next shocked him even more. After trying three times, Linlong actually directly passed the initial hurdle.
"Little Brother Lin, you are really amazing. I originally thought that you would need seven or eight days. How could you solve it in such a short time!" This time, Elder Ling finally could not help but sigh.
How could he know that Linlong's experience and knowledge were not something he could compare to? With such a detailed explanation, it was only natural that Linlong easily understood.
Once the initial part was solved, Linlong naturally continued to refine. He naturally followed the steps on the pill formula.
Soon, he encountered a problem in the latter part, which led to the failure of the refinement.
At this moment, Elder Ling could not help but say, "Little Brother Lin, this is the place. This is the place where problems can easily occur!"
"Then, Elder Ling, tell me your understanding," Linlong immediately said.
Elder Ling immediately told Linlong about his understanding of this section, the problems he encountered, and so on. He spent the time it took to brew a cup of tea before he finished.
After listening to Elder Ling and asking him a few questions, Linlong began to sink into deep thought again.
This part was indeed more difficult than the initial part. He pondered for almost a day before he understood.
After understanding it, he began to refine again. However, after waiting for this part, he continuously tried three times and still failed.
Even though Linlong failed, Linlong could not help but sigh. "Little Brother Lin, your ability to refine this Spirit Calming Pill is already the same as mine. The reason why you failed is because success seems to be relying on luck!"
Linlong, however, shook his head. "Elder Ling, that's not the case."
"Little Brother Lin, could it be that you've figured out the reason?" Elder Ling could not help but ask.
"Yes, I've figured out the reason. I know why you keep failing." Linlong nodded.
"What exactly is the reason?" Elder Ling asked impatiently.
"It's because of this Calming Grass." Linlong took out a very ordinary-looking blade of grass.
"What's wrong with this Calming Grass?" Elder Ling asked doubtfully.
"This Calming Grass is actually very unstable after being made into a medicinal liquid …"
Before Linlong could finish, Elder Ling already said, "The Calming Grass is very stable. I don't find anything wrong with it. It's also fine when used to refine other pills."
"That's just on the surface. The Calming Grass is actually very unstable. When used to refine other pills, it doesn't have much of an effect. However, it's different in this Spirit Calming Pill. It plays a very important role, so if there's any flaw in it, the pill we're refining will immediately fail," Linlong said.
"It's just that I've been staring at it, but I don't see any instability at all," Elder Ling could not help but say.
Linlong immediately smiled. "That's just on the surface. In fact, the Calming Grass is already unstable. When we continue refining, it will bring us trouble. If we're lucky, we'll succeed. If we're unlucky, we'll naturally fail."
"According to what you said, what should we do?" Elder Ling asked.
Although that was what he said, he still did not seem to believe Linlong's words.
"From what I know, there's no way to solve this problem unless we can find a medicinal ingredient that can replace the Calming Grass," Linlong said.
"The Calming Grass is one of the most important medicinal ingredients in refining the Spirit Calming Pill. I don't know what ingredient can replace it." Elder Ling shook his head.
Thinking of something, he could not help but say, "Could it be that those people who can increase the success rate found a substitute?"
"That should be possible." Linlong nodded.
"Can't we use any method to stabilize the Calming Grass?" Elder Ling asked again.
"I can't think of any method. Of course, there are other methods. However, once we add it, it will definitely affect the entire medicinal liquid. When that happens, the success rate will even decrease," Linlong said.
Although Linlong said that, he thought of the elixir that he had previously refined that was similar to the process of refining the Spirit Calming Pill.
He might as well try to refine the process of refining that elixir and try it out with the Spirit Calming Pill.
More importantly, the process of refining that elixir didn't include the Calming Grass. Perhaps he could find a method to replace the Calming Grass.
Linlong did not plan to tell Elder Ling about this because he still did not know if it would work.
"Elder Ling, it's getting late. I'll take my leave first." After chatting for a while, Linlong left.
After returning to his room, he started experimenting again.
This time, he naturally used that method to replace the process of refining the Spirit Calming Pill.
He failed at the start, but he did not give up. He continued experimenting.
Unknowingly, two hours passed. After two hours, Linlong's eyes lit up. After experimenting a few times, he discovered that he had actually succeeded.
After carefully analyzing the reason, he could see that this method also produced the effects of the Calming Grass. Because of this, he could finally refine the Spirit Calming Pill.
After all, without the effects of the Calming Grass, he could not refine the Spirit Calming Pill.
Moreover, without the instability of the Calming Grass, refining the Spirit Calming Pill in the future should not have too much of an impact. Linlong thought to himself.
In order to verify this idea, he started to refine again.
As expected, the success rate obviously increased. In the next eight batches of ingredients, he actually failed only one.
The instability of the Calming Grass would definitely affect the medicinal effect. Would the Spirit Calming Pill without the Calming Grass be more effective than the Spirit Calming Pill refined by others? Immediately after, Linlong thought of this.
If the effect was very strong, he could completely rely on the Spirit Calming Pill that he refined to earn a large sum of money.
Immediately, Linlong called Lu Jing and the others over.
"Young Master Lin, what's the matter?" After coming over, Lu Jing and the others respectfully asked.
"This is the Spirit Calming Pill that I refined. Try it and see how the effect is." Linlong immediately took out the Spirit Calming Pill that he refined and distributed it to these people.
"You refined the Spirit Calming Pill yourself!" Lu Jing and the others who received the elixir were naturally astonished.
After that, they all swallowed the elixir and quietly observed the effects of the elixir.
After a while, Xiang Rong, who was reading a book in his hand, shouted, "I found that my attention is very focused. Originally, I would need to read a few times to understand the part, but after reading it once or twice, I understand it."
"That's right, I also have the same feeling. After taking this elixir, it is as if there is only me and this book in front of me in the world. My attention is unprecedentedly focused." Shao Yong also nodded.
"Although my feeling is not as obvious as theirs, it is still much better than the previous Spirit Calming Pill," Lu Jing continued.
"Our experience is similar to Elder Lu Jing." The others also nodded.
"Young Master Lin, how did you refine this Spirit Calming Pill? Why is it different from others?" Lu Jing and the others couldn't help but ask.
"This is the Spirit Calming Pill that I refined according to a new method," Linlong said.
It was actually refined using a new method! Hearing Linlong's words, these people's faces naturally twitched.
They knew how difficult it was to refine the Spirit Calming Pill, and it was precisely because of this that the Spirit Calming Pill was so expensive. Now that Linlong actually found a new method, and the effect was clearly better than others, how could they not be surprised?
"Seeing that it is effective, I want to refine this kind of Spirit Calming Pill and sell it. I want to strive to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time and then bid for the Azure Mark at the auction," Linlong said.
"Although your elixir can be sold at a higher price than ordinary Spirit Calming Pills, can it be sold for that much money in a short period of time?" Lu Jing couldn't help but worry.
"It is indeed a little difficult. However, there is one aspect that I want to test. If I can succeed, then earning that much money won't be a problem." Linlong said.
"What aspect?" Lu Jing and the others couldn't help but ask.
"I want to try it on ordinary people. Aren't ordinary people unable to grasp the Rune Sword because it is very difficult for them to understand runes? I want them to try the Spirit Calming Pill that I refined. If they can understand runes and grasp the Rune Sword, then it won't be a problem to earn that much money in a short period of time," Linlong said.
"That's right. If we can do that, then it won't be a problem to earn that much money in a short period of time," Lu Jing and the others couldn't help but say.
If that was the case, then it would be equivalent to everyone in this world coming to buy this Spirit Calming Pill. It would be difficult for Linlong not to become rich.
"Lu Jing, immediately find someone to test it out," Linlong immediately said to Lu Jing.
"Alright." Lu Jing nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
