Chapter 83 Nourishing the Roots

Ok.

I don't know how strong this puppet is, so I'll just put it in the herb garden and let it help manage the garden.

The arrays inside these puppets are all small arrays that assist in planting spiritual herbs. Later on, they can also be used to create some offensive puppets, which should be able to play a role in fighting enemies.

Yu Huai tried it out and saw that there was nothing wrong with the puppet. Thinking to himself, he looked at the puppet in front of him again.

Since this is my first puppet, I should give it a name.

Ok.

Let's just call it "Number One"—it's convenient and simple.

After thinking for a while, Yu Huai gave a name to the puppet in front of him that looked similar to him.

Having put those aside, Yu Huai glanced outside again.

It's already night.

Let's refine some pills before midnight!

To consolidate what we have learned today.

Thinking this, Yu Huai controlled "Number One" to walk out of the house, gave it an order to water the Qi Gathering Grass with some spiritual water to help it grow, and then went back into the house.

Yu Huai took out the [large and small furnaces], rested for a while, then patted his storage bag and took out some spiritual herbs.

He now possesses divine consciousness and vocabulary.

The pill to be refined this time is a first-grade high-quality pill.

This medicine is called the Nourishing Root Pill, a first-grade superior healing pill. It can heal external wounds and minor internal injuries. Compared with ordinary healing pills, it has the added effects of nourishing the spiritual root and stabilizing cultivation.

He had been studying the formula for this elixir for a long time.

I plan to refine it today.

Soul-Gathering Grass, Green-Veined Ganoderma, Red-Rooted Grass...

These elixirs are enough for him to try refining several batches.

Yu Huai roughly counted the required medicinal herbs, then turned his gaze to the [large and small furnaces] in front of him, which had grown larger.

let's start.

Yu Huai took a deep breath to even out his breathing, calmed his mind, and probed the furnace with his divine sense to ignite the fire.

Not long after.

Seeing that it was almost ready, Yu Huai put the required spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace one after another.

As the medicinal herbs mingled in the furnace, the air was filled with their fragrance, which made Xiao Qing, who was sleeping outside, open her eyes and look into Yu Huai's room. She gave him a quick kiss, glanced at the puppet outside, and looked on with great curiosity. Without disturbing him, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Sweat dripped incessantly, and Yu Huai's face was grave. He suddenly thought to himself:

"not good".

Then a muffled sound came from the furnace, and a plume of black smoke billowed out, making Yu Huai's face covered in soot.

cough cough.

This grade of high-quality pill is really hard to refine.

Fortunately, it didn't explode.

Come again!

Yu Huai coughed a few times, looked at the alchemy furnace, shook his head, but was not discouraged. He adjusted his breathing, rested for a moment, and started refining pills again.

Not long after.

This time there has been progress.

Based on the entries and his insights today, Yu Huai failed again, but this time he made significant progress and has reached the Core Formation stage.

If others knew that he could achieve the condensation of a pill on his second attempt at refining a first-grade high-quality pill, it would definitely cause a sensation.

After all, even some elders often had to waste several batches before they could reach the condensation stage when they first started refining first-grade high-quality pills.

call.

However, just as Yu Huai was about to refine it again, the panel suddenly appeared, making him realize that it was already midnight.

With no other option, Yu Huai had to stop what he was doing and look at the refreshed entry. It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it, because after reading it, his eyes lit up and he couldn't hide his joy.

It's just because another [blue] item appeared.

[Entry: Spirit Control (Blue): Precisely control fire with divine sense, temperature error -10%, success rate +50%, quality +30%]

[Entry: Cross-legged (white): Sitting cross-legged for one hour without numbness in the legs]

[Entry: Counting Breaths (White): Silently count the number of breaths, calm the mind, and increase the speed of entering a meditative state by 10%]

……

Not only did it produce a [blue] item, but it also became an entry for alchemy.

Yu Huai became invigorated.

With this [Spirit Control] entry, he can refine a first-grade high-quality pill tonight.

He's been really lucky these past two days.

Ok.

As for the other two entries, the effect was not as good.

However, exchanging two white entries for one blue entry, especially one that was exactly what he needed for alchemy, Yu Huai thought to himself that it was a worthwhile trade.

Without much thought, Yu Huai quickly suppressed his joy and looked at the remaining medicinal herbs.

We should be able to refine two more batches.

Yu Huai put away the medicinal herbs. Knowing that his condition was somewhat unstable, he sat cross-legged in the room, closed his eyes, and silently counted his breaths, gradually entering a meditative state and calming his mind.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Its daybreak.

Yu Huai then opened his eyes, glanced at the sky, and then turned his gaze to the large and small furnaces in front of him. He let out a long breath and said with a resolute look in his eyes:

"Start the furnace to refine elixirs!"

Fire breaks out.

With the support of [Spirit Control] and divine sense, the flames inside the alchemy furnace remained stable.

Not long after.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Huai threw the spiritual herbs into the furnace one after another. Gradually, the herbs fused together and turned into a liquid medicinal juice.

Time passes little by little.

Night has fallen again.

It was at this moment that a clear and refreshing medicinal fragrance gradually wafted from the alchemy furnace. This time, the fragrance was different from the fragrance of the medicine he refined for the first time.

The little green cat outside smelled it and its mouth watered; it paced anxiously around the house.

A few more moments passed.

The alchemy furnace trembled slightly, emitting wisps of steam carrying the fragrance of medicine.

Upon seeing this, Yu Huai's eyes lit up.

Become!

The first-grade superior-quality Nourishing Root Pill is complete!

Yu Huai took the pill out of the furnace and held it in his palm, his face filled with excitement.

Unexpectedly, he only needed three batches to refine this top-grade Nourishing Root Pill, and with the [Spirit Control] attribute, the quality of the pill wasn't too bad.

call.

However, it still relied on the blessing of the entry. In the days to come, he will need to use this experience to try to refine this pill without relying on the entry.

Yu Huai carefully placed the Nourishing Root Pill into a jade bottle and put it away, thinking to himself.

Ok.

There's another batch of pills left. Let's refine another batch and gain more experience!

Yu Huai turned his gaze to the [large and small furnaces] and began refining pills once again.

In this way, several days passed in the blink of an eye.

These past few days, Yu Huai has been trying to refine the Nourishing Root Pill. Without the blessing of the entry, he went straight from heaven to hell. At first, he failed every time, which caused him to lose a lot of contribution points.

Fortunately, through gradual accumulation of experience, he was able to produce the elixir, but the quality was extremely poor.

Even so, Yu Huai was not discouraged, because his progress was already far ahead of that of the other disciples.

call.

Just as Yu Huai put a pill into his pocket, he heard someone calling him from outside.

Judging from the voice, it should be Cheng Bei.

Why did he come to find me?

Could it be that he wants me to join Qin Ren's faction?

Yu Huai was puzzled. After tidying up a bit, he put away the alchemy furnace and went out of the house.

Cheng Bei was welcomed into the herb garden, and the two sat down.

"Brother Yu Huai, were you just refining pills?"

Cheng Bei smelled a medicinal fragrance on Yu Huai and spoke up.

"Just trying to refine some pills."

"May I ask what brings you here, Brother Cheng Bei?"

Yu Huai poured him a glass of wine and nodded.

Ha ha.

"Brother Yu Huai, do I always come here on business? Can't I just come to have a drink with you?"

Cheng Bei twitched his nose slightly, glanced at the wine in his glass, and smiled.

"That's certainly feasible, but I think Brother Cheng Bei has come here for some reason."

Yu Huai looked at him and said.

Haha.

"I have indeed come here on some business."

As he spoke, Cheng Bei looked at Yu Huai with a lewd expression and chuckled:

"Brother Yu Huai, there's an auction in the market. I've come here to show you around."

"So, are you interested?"
