Chapter 46.3: Parting
Duanmu Xi nodded her head once again, as she listened intently to Situ Kong’s teaching of all the basic knowledge because she really didn’t know anything about it.
“The grading for medicinal pills are the same as the Alchemists. It is divided into four grades starting from yellow, followed by black, earth and heaven. The yellow grade medicinal pills generally require three kinds of medicinal ingredients and fused together with the spirit core of a spirit beast. The black and earth grades are raised a level higher by a notch. The black grade medicinal pill requires four kinds of medicinal materials and the spirit core of a sacred beast. The earth grade medicinal pill requires five kinds of medicinal materials and the spirit core of a celestial beast.”
“What about the medicinal pills of the heaven grade?”
Compared with the others, she was still more interested in the heaven grade.
A glint flashed by Situ Kong’s eyes as he explained further, “Your Master has not tried to refine any heaven grade medicinal pills. However, the ancient books say that the medicinal materials required to refine the heaven grade medicinal pills are very precious, and would also need the spirit core of a divine beast.”
… Refining one actually requires the need of a spirit core of a divine beast. It really seems that heaven grade medicinal pills could not be refined by ordinary people.
“There are many types of medicinal pills, such as healing, detoxification, etc … Each of the different types of medicinal pills requires different properties of the spirit core.”
“For example, for healing, we would need the spirit core of a water element spirit beast. For detoxification, we would need the spirit core of a wood element spirit beast. For acceleration, we would need the spirit core of a wind element spirit beast. For attack, we would need the spirit core of a thunder element spirit beast. For defense, we would need the ice spirit core, for recovery we would need the earth spirit core, and for regeneration, we would need the fire spirit core.”
Duanmu Xi nodded as she slowly took in all the information that he had just shared with her.
It turns out that the power in each spirit core was different.
There’s healing power in the water spirit core, there’s a force of life in the wood spirit core, there’s a violent force in the wind core, there’s a penetrating force in the lightning core, there’s a firmness in the ice spirit core, and there’s recovery in the earth spirit core. The power of the fire spirit core has the power to regenerate.
“Lass,you have to remember all that information your Master just shared with you.”
Although it was all basic knowledge, but they were especially important.
Duanmu Xi licked her lips. “Master, rest assured, I have remembered it.”
Situ Kong nodded his head in appreciation.
“Next, we shall talk about refining medicine. You’ve successfully refined the Pure Solace Dew before, so do you find alchemy difficult or easy?”
Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi with great interest, successfully refining at the first attempt, even he could not do it.
The corner of Duanmu Xi’s lips lifted into a wry smile.
“Of course it’s difficult, purification and fusion needs a great deal of spiritual strength.”
Situ Kong once again nodded his head in praise.
Although this girl had a natural talent, she had no pride at all. It was rare.
“You did it all without the guidance of a Master, your future path will surely go a long way.”
“Thank you for Master’s praise.”
Duanmu Xi bowed modestly.
It was good if she could excel in this field but her Master was only an earth ranked Alchemist at this age. She did not dare to think about when she would be able to save Little Shadow.
“When it comes to alchemy, we mustn’t forget the medicine cauldron. The medicine cauldron is like the weapon of us, Alchemists. Like other weapons, medicine cauldrons also have four grades, precious, sacred, celestial and divine.”
“Master has a small medicine cauldron here that is very suitable for women. Take it as a greeting gift from Master.”
Situ Kong said as he took out a purple medicine cauldron from his storage ring and handed it to Duanmu Xi.
Duanmu Xi received it as a glimmer of surprise flashed by her eyes.
It was actually a celestial grade medicine cauldron!
“Thank you, Master.”
This medicine cauldron was really good, small and exquisite.
The medicine Ding was purple and the body was engraved with two lifelike golden phoenixes. Even the cover and the two handles were carved with patterns. It was obvious that the person who made this medicine cauldron had spent a lot of thought and effort on it.
Seeing Duanmu Xi like the gift he presented to her, Situ Kong was full of smiles.
“Lass, Master will now start to teach you how to refine.”
“Yes, Master.”
Duanmu Xi nodded and looked her expression turned serious.
