I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 104: Su Lingxiu Refining Pills

Su Lingxiu was deeply moved in her heart. Having such a powerful master as her support gave her a sense of security. She no longer had to worry about being captured one day.

"Yes, Master, I will work hard in my cultivation and will never disappoint your high expectations!"

"Mm."

Li Xuan nodded.

"Sister, tell your senior brother who has been bothering you. Once I go to the inner domain, I will take care of them!"

Xu Yan said angrily.

"Yes, yes, once we go to the inner domain, senior brother will help you!"

Meng Chong also nodded.

"Thank you, senior brother. But when I have achieved success in my cultivation, I will deal with them myself. I will bury them all!"

Su Lingxiu said, shaking her fist angrily.

"Good, if you need senior brother's help, just say so. We can't let anyone bully you!"

Xu Yan nodded.

"Mm, thank you, senior brother!"

Su Lingxiu felt warm in her heart.

Since fleeing, besides Aunt Zhou, no one had cared about her. Now, she felt the warmth of home.

Zhou Ying's eyes turned red. Miss was finally safe, with a caring master and senior brother. One day, they would return to the inner domain and kill those people!

"Zhou Ying thanks Senior for your help. My family's Miss has caused trouble for Senior!"

Zhou Ying knelt in front of Li Xuan.

Li Xuan calmly said, "Lingxiu is my disciple, there's no need for you to do this."

Su Lingxiu had extraordinary talent. She quickly comprehended the Medical Dao Scripture and her cultivation speed was extremely fast. Even in the border wilderness, it would be difficult to find a disciple suitable for cultivating the Medical Dao. As long as she could contribute to his Martial Dao grand plan, Li Xuan didn't care about any troubles that might arise. After all, finding a suitable disciple was not easy.

Anyone who caused trouble for his disciple was causing trouble for him. Anyone who hindered his Martial Dao grand plan was an enemy. Li Xuan never showed mercy to his enemies.

As he taught his disciples, he would crush their bones, scatter their ashes, and destroy their souls!

Zhou Ying kowtowed three times before standing up.

Su Lingxiu held the pill furnace in her hand and said, "Master, I'm going to refine pills!"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Go, comprehend it yourself, and grasp it!"

"Yes, Master!"

Su Lingxiu was excited.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were also curious about how to refine pills.

"Sister, do you need help?"

Meng Chong asked.

"For now... I don't think so."

Su Lingxiu was also unsure.

After all, she had never refined pills before. She had only pondered it in her mind.

The specific practical operation was still unknown.

Shi Er also approached.

After cleaning the pill furnace and placing it on the prepared stove, Su Lingxiu pondered what kind of pill to refine.

Skin Refining Pill?

She didn't need it. Although she needed the Bone Tempering Pill, it was too unfamiliar for her to refine it successfully for the first time.

And the medicinal materials for refining pills were precious. It would be a pity to waste them.

She glanced at Shi Er beside her and had an idea.

Shi Er seemed to be at the peak of Internal Organ Refining, unable to break through to the Lifeblood Realm. So she decided to refine the Qi and Blood Pill, which could help break through to the Lifeblood Realm. It could also enhance qi and blood, assist in cultivation, and restore depleted qi and blood.

"For the first time refining pills, I should be cautious and not waste the medicinal materials. Let's start with one-third of a furnace of pills."

Su Lingxiu thought this way and prepared the medicinal materials for the Qi and Blood Pill.

She ignited the divine firestone and threw it into the pill furnace, drying the furnace. Then Su Lingxiu looked at the medicinal materials in her hand and became a little confused and hesitant, not knowing when to add the medicinal materials.

"Do we need to add water when refining pills?" Su Lingxiu turned to her master, wanting to ask for advice, but also afraid of being seen as lacking in understanding and leaving a dull impression on her master.

"When refining pills, we extract the essence and remove impurities. Will adding water increase impurities?"

"No, if we don't add water, and I haven't mastered the Martial Dao, I won't be able to use Qi and blood. Won't the medicinal materials be dried out?"

Su Lingxiu pondered, feeling that there might be some problems with the alchemy method she had simulated earlier.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong kept their eyes on the pill furnace, then glanced at their junior sister. The furnace was already hot, but she hadn't put in the medicinal materials yet. Was alchemy really this complicated?

The two of them knew nothing about alchemy, so they could only wait for their junior sister's next move.

"Since we are extracting the essence of the medicine and removing impurities, it is natural to melt the medicine. And the pill furnace is not an ordinary furnace, it is a Treasure Weapon with some special characteristics.

"Besides, I have specially made this pill furnace for alchemy."

Suddenly, Su Lingxiu realized that she was practicing alchemy, not making pills.

How could she have overlooked the fact that the pill furnace was a Treasure Weapon, not an ordinary furnace?

Coming back to her senses, she saw that the pill furnace was already hot, with a hot airflow surrounding it. It was probably about ready.

"The first step of the Qi and Blood Pill is to put in a piece of Nine Leaf Yuan Zhi and refine it..."

Following the alchemy method she had realized, Su Lingxiu threw a piece of Nine Leaf Yuan Zhi into the pill furnace, covered the furnace with its lid, and raised her tender white hand, ready to pat the furnace and vibrate it, tempering the medicine.

"Second Senior Brother, when you vibrate the pill furnace with Qi and blood, do it slowly and gently, not forcefully..."

Seeing Meng Chong squatting nearby, Su Lingxiu spoke up.

First Senior Brother was in the Innate Realm, and his Innate True Qi was too strong. She couldn't control it accurately, so she sought out Meng Chong.

"Okay!"

Meng Chong was excited and raised his hand, covering it with a golden light. Qi and blood surrounded his hand as he gently patted the pill furnace.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound, and the pill furnace trembled slightly.

Su Lingxiu sensed the tremor of the pill furnace and carefully felt the changes in the furnace. "Second Senior Brother, the Qi and blood has increased a little."

"Good!"

Bang!

Meng Chong patted it again.

Su Lingxiu narrowed her eyes slightly, reached out her tender white hand, and touched the pill furnace, feeling its vibration. It was as if she could sense the changes in the medicine inside the furnace.

"Lessen the strength of the Qi and blood."

Su Lingxiu continued.

Meng Chong patted the pill furnace again.

After that, Su Lingxiu occasionally touched the pill furnace, adjusting the strength according to her feelings, making the patting of the furnace become somewhat regular.

"Okay!"

After nine pats, Su Lingxiu sensed that the Nine Leaf Yuan Zhi in the pill furnace seemed to have melted.

"Senior Brother, when I open the lid later, seal the opening of the pill furnace so that the medicinal power inside doesn't evaporate."

"No problem!"

Xu Yan nodded eagerly.

Su Lingxiu opened the lid of the pill furnace, and a True Qi sealed the opening. She then threw the second medicinal ingredient into the furnace, a piece of blood-red medicine made from condensed tiger blood.

"It's too troublesome to open the lid every time. Let's put in the remaining medicine as well. This is just the first time I'm refining pills, so it can be considered as summarizing the experience."

Su Lingxiu thought to herself.

She threw all the remaining medicinal materials from the pill formula into the furnace and covered it with the lid.

Inside the pill cauldron, three divine fire stones were added to enhance the flame.

This time, Su Lingxiu didn't let Meng Chong pat the pill furnace. Instead, she closed her eyes slightly and carefully sensed the furnace. Her tender white hands occasionally tapped and vibrated the furnace according to her feelings.

The strength kept changing.

Although the pill furnace was a Treasure Weapon and its surface was scorched by the flames, Su Lingxiu kept patting it. Her tender white hands became slightly red. Fortunately, she had already completed Skin Refining and could withstand it.

Zhou Ying watched with a heart full of distress, but she also knew that this was something the young miss had to go through.

Only by learning alchemy could she truly become the senior's disciple.

"Junior sister, why don't you let me do it?"

Meng Chong couldn't help but speak up.

Su Lingxiu shook her head and said, "Alchemy cannot be done with the help of others. If Senior Brother is not here, wouldn't Junior Sister be unable to practice alchemy? This little burn won't hurt me."

Meng Chong nodded, acknowledging the reason in Su Lingxiu's words.

In the estate, everyone except Li Xuan gathered together to watch Su Lingxiu practice alchemy.

Li Xuan also felt the itch to join in the fun.

But he was the master, and if he also went to join in the fun, where would his strict and esteemed demeanor as a master go?

"How is the pill refining going?"

Li Xuan sensed the movements of Su Lingxiu's alchemy and felt restless.

"Junior Sister San should be able to refine the pill, right? If this batch fails, we can refine a few more and summarize the experience, then it should be fine."

The beginning is always difficult.

Once successful in refining the pill and gaining enlightenment in the art of alchemy, it is like pushing open a door, and the door to alchemy truly opens.

Su Lingxiu lightly tapped the pill furnace and suddenly said, "Reduce the fire!"

"No problem."

Meng Chong took out two pieces of divine firestone burning in the pill furnace and extinguished them in the mud.

The flames in the pill furnace immediately diminished.

"Make the fire even smaller!"

Su Lingxiu spoke again.

Another piece of divine firestone was taken out.

This is the advantage of using divine firestone as the fuel for alchemy. If you want the flame to be stronger, you can add more divine firestone. If you want the flame to be smaller, you can simply take out the divine firestone.

"Extinguish the fire!"

Su Lingxiu's face turned red.

The final moment of pill refining had arrived!

The fire in the pill furnace was extinguished, and everyone held their breath, watching the pill furnace.

Su Lingxiu continued to tap the pill furnace, and at this moment, the vibrations of the furnace became stronger and stronger. Amidst the shaking, a faint rolling sound could be heard from inside the furnace.

The pill!

Could it be that it was successfully refined?

Sweat beads appeared on Su Lingxiu's forehead. This was the critical moment of pill refining.

Core Condensation!

Since she was not yet a Lifeblood Realm Martial Artist, she couldn't use her blood and qi to refine the pill. Therefore, Core Condensation relied on sensing the vibrations of the pill furnace and her own intuition.

Puff!

Suddenly, the vent of the pill furnace opened under Su Lingxiu's tap, and a burst of hot air gushed out.

Expelling impurities from the pill!

Su Lingxiu was extremely excited. This pill furnace she designed and built was perfect.

She quickly tapped the pill furnace a few more times.

Thud!

The pill furnace returned to the pill furnace stand.

"Pill refining is complete!"

Su Lingxiu clapped her slightly red hands.

"Quick, quick, open it and take a look!"

Xu Yan rubbed his hands together, full of anticipation.

If the pill refining was successful, it meant that the cultivation of Martial Artists would have assistance, making it easier to cultivate.

With the assistance of the pill, their own family members would also quickly improve their strength.

"Great!"

Su Lingxiu clapped the lid of the pill furnace, and with a bang, the lid jumped up. She clapped the pill furnace, and the mouth of the furnace tilted downwards, and three pills fell out.

Meng Chong reached out and caught them.

Everyone's gaze converged on Meng Chong's hand.

The three pills were somewhat dark and not perfectly round. They were like three small bumps lying quietly in the palm of his hand.

"It failed!"

Su Lingxiu said dejectedly.

"Junior sister, it's already quite good to be able to form the pill on your first attempt at alchemy. If you refine it a few more times and summarize the techniques and experiences, I believe you will soon succeed," Xu Yan consoled.

"That's right, it's normal to fail on the first attempt at alchemy," Meng Chong nodded along.

Su Lingxiu picked up a pill. Although the refinement failed, it was not a complete failure. This pill still had some effectiveness.

The medicinal materials for refining pills are not cheap, so they shouldn't be wasted.

She then handed three pills to Shi Er and said, "Shi Er, you've encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation. Take these three pills to help you break through the bottleneck!"

So, this is why they were refining the Lifeblood Pill.

Even if the refinement failed, as long as it wasn't completely useless, Shi Er could still take them without it being a complete waste.

Shi Er was dumbfounded as he looked at the pills in his hand. They were black and uneven, like small lumps. He swallowed his saliva. Could he really eat these?

"These pills failed, so we can't eat them, right?"

"Failed pills are still pills. They won't be poisonous, just slightly less effective. Don't waste them. Hurry up and eat. Let me see how effective they are," Su Lingxiu urged.

"This...this..." Shi Er had a mournful expression on his face. Could this thing really not be poisonous?

"What nonsense are you talking about? These are pills. Even if they failed, they won't be poisonous. They are much better than those pill pellets. Don't you trust junior sister's words?" Meng Chong grabbed Shi Er's hand and stuffed the pills into his mouth.

Shi Er was at a loss for words. It didn't matter to them since they weren't the ones eating it, right?

Su Lingxiu stared at him with wide eyes.

Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Zhou Ying didn't even blink.

"How do you feel? Any sensations?" Su Lingxiu asked.

"It feels a bit warm," Shi Er felt a warm sensation in his stomach after swallowing the pills.

"Quick, cultivate. Maybe you can break through the bottleneck," Su Lingxiu urged.

Shi Er's spirits lifted, and he said, "Okay!"

He hurriedly began his cultivation.

As he cultivated, he felt as if a surge of qi and blood was flowing through his body, making him feel warm all over. The bottleneck that was previously impossible to break seemed to loosen at this moment.

Shi Er was overjoyed. Although the pills were a failure, they still had an effect.

Was he about to break through to the Lifeblood Realm?

Li Xuan had been paying attention and his heart stirred. "Shi Er is about to break through. Although the pills were unsuccessful, they still have some effect in helping Shi Er break through the bottleneck."

Sure enough, the sound of bones cracking and the presence of qi and blood began to appear on Shi Er's body. Strands of qi and blood emerged from him.

The sound of bones cracking grew louder, and the qi and blood became more abundant.

Su Lingxiu and the others stepped back.

Zhou Ying's face was filled with shock. This was the Lifeblood Realm?

Very powerful!

Shi Er's strength far surpassed her own as soon as he entered the realm.

So this is what it means to have qi and blood like a raging wave?

"A Third Grade Martial Artist, no, even stronger than an ordinary Third Grade Martial Artist," Zhou Ying's heart trembled at this moment.

She wanted to switch to cultivating Martial Dao. In the Borderlands, she couldn't continue to break through in her cultivation.

Moreover, it was obvious that the Martial Dao passed down by the senior was stronger than the one in the Inner Domain.

However, she was already at the Fourth Grade of Martial Dao, and her foundation was almost fixed. It would be difficult to switch cultivation paths.

Boom!

Shi Er's bones cracked, and his qi and blood surged out, enveloping his body.

At this moment, he was filled with excitement. He had finally entered the realm of Martial Dao!

Pills were truly miraculous. Even if they were unsuccessful, they still had such powerful effects!
