C8 Pharmaceutical

The depths of the mountain range that Elder Ye resided in appeared to be rather quiet. Although there were birds and beasts, these demon beasts were, after all, not very intelligent and did not pose much of a threat to Qin Shaojie.

It would be the best choice to treat his injuries here.

"Ying Hua, Yun Shi Pi, Wooden Ginger, Fairy Peach Grass …"

Looking at the 20 different types of herbs in front of him, Qin Shaojie was also a little shocked. Although these medicinal ingredients were nothing compared to Qin Shaojie who was alive, but in many cities, these medicinal ingredients were extremely precious. Even if the four great clans of Tiangyou City wanted to collect all twenty odd medicinal ingredients in a short amount of time, it would not be an easy matter.

In just a day's time, Elder Ye had already gathered the herbs on his list, and even prepared two sets of ingredients. Putting aside the issue of efficiency, even without Elder Ye saying, Qin Shaojie was afraid that Elder Ye had already paid a heavy price, it would be impossible to not feel sorry for him.

However, Qin Shaojie had already completely checked his body and bones, if this were to happen under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few months for him to recover, but the current him could not afford to wait. At most three days, he had to adjust his body to its peak state.

If he wanted to do this, he could only do so by borrowing the strength of the medicinal herbs.

On this continent, a warrior's cultivation was nothing more than borrowing the Sky, Earth, and Mysterious Qi as well as treasures from heaven and earth. The Sky and Earth mystical Qi could enhance one's realm control over the way of the heaven and earth, but these treasures could not only strengthen one's body, but could also give birth to flesh and bones. Some of the more powerful treasures could allow one to break through the shackles of cultivation and enter a higher realm of the martial way.

Now, what Qin Shaojie wanted to do was to make use of the various medicinal ingredients to adjust his body to its peak condition in the shortest amount of time. This was not only to fight with Qin Fei, but more importantly, to prepare for the future.

The current Qin Shaojie was already thirteen years old. At this age, he was at the Gold rank stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, so a majority of a warrior's future achievements would concern their foundation before they turned sixteen. During this period of time, the human body was in a regenerative state. It was able to absorb and expel all sorts of energy from the body. It would be extremely beneficial for future martial arts cultivation.

"You can refine medicine?"

Elder Ye, who was standing beside Qin Shaojie, asked in surprise when he saw that Qin Shaojie had distributed the twenty odd medicinal herbs in a certain proportion.

Previously, when he had received the list from Qin Shaojie, he felt that it was strange. The medicinal ingredients in the list were all extraordinary, and a lot of them were considered healing medicinal ingredients to the warriors. Initially, he thought he needed some of these medicinal herbs to help with the recovery process of his body, but from the looks of it, Qin Shaojie did not need his help.

In his impression, forget about Qin Shaojie, even in the entire Qin Family, no one could refine medicine.

In this world, martial artists were the most respected. Other than them, there were also a few other professions that were highly respected, and one of them was an alchemist.

Alchemists were not only able to utilize the medicinal properties of various medicinal ingredients, some of the stronger alchemists were even able to refine the essence of heaven and earth treasures to refine medicinal pills. These finished products had uses beyond imagination, making them treasures that martial artists competed for.

It was a pity that becoming an alchemist was much more difficult than becoming a martial artist. As for those high level alchemists, they were even rarer. Any one of them could become a minister of the imperial family.

Now, Qin Shaojie was constantly waving these medicinal ingredients, making Elder Ye feel strange. After all, even a blind person could tell that Qin Shaojie seemed to be extremely familiar with these medicinal ingredients, and that he was extremely skilled in distributing these medicinal ingredients, which was why he couldn't resist his curiosity and curiosity to ask about them.

"I don't know how to refine medicine, but I can barely remember some of it when my clan is bored and flipping through those books."

Towards Elder Ye's surprise, Qin Shaojie did not explain much. His words were not wrong, after all, if he wanted to refine medicine, he had to borrow the profound energy of heaven and earth.

However, he was quite clear about these low tier alchemy techniques. This was also the true confidence he had in being able to heal his body as quickly as possible.

"I will concoct these ingredients according to a certain ratio. However, I will have to rely on Elder Ye for the matter of refining the ingredients."

With that said, Qin Shaojie also bowed towards Elder Ye.

He naturally knew that Elder Ye knew how to refine medicine, but Elder Ye's medicine refinement skills were not enough to catch Qin Shaojie's attention, so he decided to mix them himself. If it wasn't for the current Qin Shaojie being unable to condense profound energy, he wouldn't even have handed over the refining process for the medicine elder Ye.

After all, there were two crucial points in a true alchemy technique. First, it was the ratio of the medicinal ingredients. Different proportions naturally had different effects. Therefore, it was possible for the effects of the ingredients refined under the same condition to be different. The other type was the coordination of profound strength during the refinement process.

It was a pity that the only thing Qin Shaojie could do now was to take the first step.

Of course, the Ye elder did not know what Qin Shaojie was thinking, otherwise, he would have been angered to death. Although he had lived in seclusion in the Tiangyou City for more than ten years, in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, in terms of achievements in alchemy, there were very few who could surpass Elder Ye.

"Sure."

Elder Ye did not reject Qin Shaojie's request. Instead, a hint of curiosity appeared in the depths of his eyes. The Qin Shaojie in front of him gave others a sense of ease, as though everything was within his control. Just being able to do so was something that many grown men could not help but do.

He did not believe that Qin Shaojie's so-called not knowing how to refine medicine was something that he remembered from the books. After all, if he had not truly learned how to refine medicinal herbs, he would not have appeared to be so familiar with it.

But Elder Ye did not question it further, how could he not see that Qin Shaojie had even more secrets than he thought? But who didn't have their own secrets? Even Elder Ye had many things on him that he didn't want others to know.

Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to see what kind of medicine Qin Shaojie's ingredients could refine that would allow him to recover from his injuries in the shortest time possible.

At the very least, with Elder Ye's skills, even with these precious medicinal ingredients, it would still take at least ten days of effort before he would have a certain chance of healing the injuries on Tang Feng's body. If even he did not have any possibility of succeeding within three days, perhaps no one in the entire Great Yan Dynasty would be able to do so.

And since Qin Shaojie dared to say such words, then it must be true that he was not spouting nonsense.

Qin Shaojie had also spent most of the day's worth of effort in distributing the medicinal ingredients. This sort of distribution was not simply matching the medicinal ingredients, but also dividing them and fusing them together according to a certain weight.

Every time a medicinal ingredient was screened, Qin Shaojie would grind it up, and try his best to grind it into equal particles. This was so that when Elder Ye helped to refine it, the medicinal ingredients would be able to bring out the fullest of it.

Such a detail caused Elder Ye's pupils to slightly constrict. According to his estimate, only a tier four alchemist would care so much about this kind of thing.

Alchemists were divided into grades 1 to 9 from the lowest to the highest. The first rank was the lowest while the ninth rank was the highest.

However, if one could become a Grade One Alchemist, they could become a Guardian of a small clan. On the other hand, a Grade Four Alchemist could obtain the respect of the Imperial Family. A Grade Six Alchemist was even more so in charge of the sect, and was far away from his reach.

As for a Grade Nine Alchemist, they only existed within legends.

"He's only thirteen years old."

Even with the natural talent of Elder Ye, he was only barely at the fourth grade in the path of alchemy.

If Elder Ye had assumed that this was a coincidence on Qin Shaojie's part, then when Qin Shaojie had mixed all of these powdered and dried medicinal ingredients together, he had actually pierced his own finger and dripped a few drops of his blood into the fused medicinal powder. In his heart, he had finally confirmed that all of this was not a coincidence.

Ordinary alchemists or low level alchemists only knew how to simply refine medicinal pills, but they didn't know that the best effect of refining a medicinal pill was to perfectly match it with a person. This kind of state required one to drip the fresh blood of the person who required it before refining it. This way, the formed medicinal pill or medicinal liquid would be able to fully match the physical body of the person who consumed it after being consumed.

Originally, he had wanted to remind Qin Shaojie to drip a few drops of blood. After all, he had examined these medicinal ingredients before to ensure that they wouldn't cause any harm to the human body, and even if they didn't achieve the desired effect, they wouldn't cause any illness. That was why he allowed Qin Shaojie to freely mix them with each other. However, he never expected that after being crushed to a uniform size, he would directly drip his blood into it.

If one were to say that he believed that it was a coincidence before and that these formulas were written by him from a book, this blood dripping procedure was something that ordinary alchemists did not know, let alone a twelve year old Qin Shaojie.

"I'll try my best to form it into a pill."

Elder Ye took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the waves in his heart. He was very clear that even if he were to ask the little fellow, it would not answer truthfully.

"There's no need for this. I'll have to trouble Elder Ye to refine it into a normal medicinal liquid."

However, it seemed that Qin Shaojie did not wish to refine the medicinal ingredients into a medicinal liquid, but only hoped that Elder Ye would refine the medicinal ingredients into a medicinal liquid.

Medicinal liquid was the simplest and also the lowest level in the alchemy process.

Medicine... Medicinal fluid?!

Seemingly suspecting that he had misheard or Qin Shaojie made a mistake, Elder Ye asked again. But when he received Qin Shaojie's reply, Elder Ye was finally a little stunned. He could not understand at all, what was Qin Shaojie trying to do?
