Duan Yun's face revealed a blank look. Just as he was about to ask, he saw that Qin Lie had already left by himself and had walked into the backyard.

For some reason, Lin Miaoke and Zhao Yu also stayed in her courtyard. Their room was practically just one room away from Qin Lie's, and the only explanation was that it was close enough to protect Qin Lie. However, after choosing a place, the two women immediately left, disappearing without a trace.

Qin Lie did not know what to say to the two of them, so he simply ignored them and went back to his room to start concocting pills. He first used the Beast Crystal and the spirit ink talisman brush to set up a Soul Glyphs Gathering Formation and placed the cauldron that Duan Yun bought at the center.

This was a pill refining technique that he had learnt at the Heavenly Path Academy ten years ago. This kind of Spirit Gathering technique was beneficial to him in raising his Cultivation Level, so Qin Lie had to specialize in it. In the past, he did not have a master, so whether it was cultivating the way of the martial arts or refining Talisman, he learnt it from the books.

Even with the help of Senior Demon Emperor, Qin Lie did not want to rely on his help. He hoped that he could face any difficulties and obstacles alone. As for the Dao of Talismans, he had long since forgotten about it from the ancient records. However, he specialized in martial arts, so his standards in other aspects were completely muddled. For example, before he exorcised the evil, he didn't know a thing.

The Glyph Array he had drawn so far was vastly different from the mainstream techniques of the Primordial Era. As soon as it was completed, the Spiritual Energy increased by three times. Especially at the center, where the cauldron was located, it was extremely dense. However, when Qin Lie sat in front of the cauldron, he was slightly afraid.

"Since this is my first time concocting pills and I've prepared so many Meridian Spirit Grass and Silver-Striped Carbs, I might as well fail a few times." This pill was also easy to refine. If he couldn't find a reliable person to refine it in the future, then he would concoct it himself. "The art of pill concocting finally requires hard work …"

With that in mind, Qin Lie fiercely clenched his teeth, and finally started to attack.

The cauldrons in front of him were only the most ordinary kind. Some black tungsten was mixed in with the pig iron. Then, on it, he drew a few Talisman. He was just barely able to make it into a Practitioner Weapon.

However, it was easier to control, and there was no need to adjust it when concocting pills. As the name implied, within the black carbon, there were countless silver threads.

Not only was the temperature extremely high, there was no smoke, so the firepower could last for a long time. Not only was it suitable for refining, it was also an entry level item for refining pills.

However, the output was very little. It was said that out of ten thousand kilograms of coal stone, one could only find eight to nine kilograms. As a result, it was extremely precious and was worth thousands of gold.

Qin Lie carefully selected about 4 jin of silver ore and placed it under the furnace. Even though it was small in weight, it could burn for an entire day.

After laying them down evenly, he lit the fire and began to heat up the furnace. Qin Lie had just started to mix in the medicine, the Spirit Vein Grass as well as a few dozen other tonics. They were all crushed into a ball of liquid and thrown into the cauldron.

Then, he began to form seals with his hands. He controlled the Spiritual Energy and used soul remembrance talisman to continuously move the medicinal liquid within the cauldron. Just like when a chef is cooking. The chef was cooking; he was cooking pills.

From time to time, he also had to change symbols, fire up the heat, or suppress the temperature.

Pill forging was simple. As long as one knew the formula, it was easy to concoct pills.

However, it was extremely difficult to control the heat.

The rise and fall of temperature all had a fixed time. The Spiritual Energy was not always thick enough, and similarly, it needed adjustment.

This would depend on the experience of an apothecary. Regardless of which high tier apothecary it was, they had all failed hundreds of times and wasted countless medicinal herbs before piling them up. Hence, it was even more precious than those Refiner s. Every single alchemist was highly respected by the powerful clans.

Just in this aspect, Qin Lie was the one who was lacking the most. He himself had no master to learn from. His side was completely blank. He could only slowly figure it out himself.

"As expected, refining pills can help one temper the Spiritual Energy. The change in the medicinal properties and the combination of these symbols was extremely beneficial to one's comprehension of the world's dao. "It's no wonder that those alchemists weren't any slower than an ordinary Profound Arts Master."

After sitting there for half a day, Qin Lie estimated that enough time had passed. The firepower of the silver threads had already begun to weaken. He could not wait to remove the lid of the cauldron.

He only saw a ball of muck inside. Deep within the cauldron, there was a mass of soft paste. The few Dan like objects were also lying on the ground.

"Not enough firepower?"

Puzzled, Qin Lie picked up the pills. They had a little medicinal fragrance to them. However, it was a bit sticky. From the looks of it, he didn't dare put it in his mouth no matter what.

"Forget it, since it's my first time concocting a pill, I'll give some face by not burning it." He could not let the Brother Duan try the medicine, just in case the pill was dangerous, but it was a pity that he would not have the chance, or else he could let Zhao Yu try it. "Or we can get a cat or a dog to test their medicine."

After putting away the few pills, Qin Lie was also reluctant to part with the medicinal paste. Then, he started concocting the pills again.

The amount of silver threads he had bought was only about 60 jin. Qin Lie also did not care about his fatigue, consecutively opening the cauldron five times, using less than half of the cauldron.

After spending an entire day and night, the Pill in the cauldron finally looked good. It was shaped like a longan and completely black. Regardless of its smell, size, shape, or color, it was different from what was written in the book.

Qin Lie suppressed his joy and rushed out of the room.

He searched everywhere. The courtyard was quiet and elegant, but there weren't any beasts or birds. He could try out the pill. Suddenly, his heart stirred. He walked to the side of the pond and took out a Pill. He crushed it and threw it into the pond.

He was wondering, could it be that I, too, have such a talent for alchemy?

It had only been four tries, but the pill had already formed. Such a standard was comparable to those genius pill refiners of the rumors.

When the powder entered the water, it was unknown if it was affected by the smell. The goldfish in the pond fought with each other for a moment.

And then, under his expectant gaze, the fish went up to the surface of the water without any strength left in them.

Qin Lie's eyes lit up. This kind of demonic core, 'Meridian Ling Dan', had this kind of effect, softening all the meridians in his body. It was a special Pill used by the later generations to correct the veins. It had very few uses, but was extremely valuable.

A moment later, the goldfish were seen again, their bellies turning white. He struggled with all his might, and then he completely lost his breath.

Qin Lie was silent for a moment, standing in place, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

A cold breeze blew by, causing his entire body to feel extremely cold. He looked at the sun in the sky and felt chills run down his spine.

"This bloodline of Ling Dan, sure enough, is a bit difficult. "Pill forging is not an easy task, the ancient people sincerely do not look down on me —"

Just as he was sighing secretly, Duan Yun's surprised voice came from his side: "Brother Qin, how did you become like this?"

Qin Lie was slightly startled, and shined his light over the pond. Indeed, the silver threads were not completely smoke-free. After a day and night, his entire body was now pitch black.

His face had also turned black, leaving behind only a pair of black and white eyes. His lips were red and white, very dazzling.

Just as he was laughing bitterly in his heart, he saw Duan Yun looking at the pond again. His expression became even more surprised: "Brother Qin, you said that you want to use the Invigorated Meridian Grass to gather Spirit Qi. Could he be refining a Toxic Pill? It could be smeared on a weapon, or thrown into water, or it could poison a large area of the weapon? "So fast —" It was as if he remembered the last time where Qin Lie had forced You Siying to retreat with her poison blade. Duan Yun's eyes sparkled for a moment.

Hearing this, Qin Lie's face immediately blushed red, feeling extremely awkward. However, after a short while, he returned to normal and humphed. His expression was indifferent and enigmatic, "It can't be considered as a success, I just wanted to try out the effects of some of the ingredients. He hadn't tried refining poison with the spirit grass, so he wanted to take a look. If this pill is successful, even the The Mighty Ones of The Sky can take it down! "

Duan Yun's eyes looked to be deep in thought, but suddenly there was someone else walking out from the corner in front.

and Zhao Yu frowned when they saw what Qin Lie looked like. Following that, Lin Miaoke's nose twitched as she asked doubtfully: "There's the smell of charcoal, this fragrance, is it the smell of medicine? "Unheard, a little strange …"

After a moment, his gaze landed on Qin Lie's right hand. With a tap of his feet, his entire body slid in front of Qin Lie. He grabbed Qin Lie's right hand that had just been touched by the medicinal powder.

In the end, she simply stuck out her tongue and licked the center of Qin Lie's palm.

Qin Lie immediately shivered, he felt a bit of heat coming from below his stomach. As for Zhao Yu, his face was as dark as a pot. That needle-like gaze seemed to be able to cut Qin Lie into thousands of pieces.

But Lin Miaoke did not feel that anything was amiss, she carefully savored the taste of the medicinal powder. Only then did Liu Mei relax. "The spirit vein grass is the main ingredient, and the tray root is also added. The brown board, the palm ginseng, the violet leaf … the silver tassel, and that's right, the chaste fish!"

Qin Lie's entire body froze, he could not believe what he saw, and stared at the Lin Miaoke who had left yesterday and returned.

There was actually not a single error in the twenty odd medicines in this vein of Ling Dan. What exactly was this woman's tongue made of?

Lin Miaoke continued to ponder, "Are you trying to concoct pills? The bloodline spirit grass in the Demon Corpse Mountain contain a slight poison, and is usually regarded as a useless object by the pill refiners, so why are they using this to concoct pills? "

Just as Qin Lie was about to say that he was not concocting pills but refining poison, he saw Lin Miaoke act as if she had suddenly realized something. A bright light exploded from her eyes, "No, that's not right. What a miraculous pill formula! Qin Lie, you want to use this to raise your cultivation? "If we can work together with a suitable body technique, there is a possibility …

Qin Lie was completely dumbstruck, he stared straight at Lin Miaoke, thinking, could this girl be a demon?

It was just licking the palm of his hand.

The next moment, he felt another gaze land on him. It was Duan Yun. However, his expression was filled with surprise.

Hehe, hehe. pretended not to see all the gazes, and laughed awkwardly: It is a Pill that was refined with spirit grass. I never thought that Miss Lin would be so proficient in pill refining. I'm impressed! "

Unexpectedly, on Lin Miaoke's side, a similar look of contempt appeared on her face: "This pharmacology is correct, but do you know how to refine pills? Unable to understand pharmacology? Could it be that she would just throw all the medicinal herbs into the cauldron to be refined? She was really smart and incredibly stupid. "If you don't know how to forge pills, don't waste these pills —"

No matter how good Qin Lie's temperament was, he was still a little humiliated and angry when he heard about it. Then, he immediately became alarmed. His face became solemn and he bowed respectfully towards Lin Miaoke: "Does this mean that Miss Lin must know how to refine this bloodline of Ling Dan? Qin Lie really did not understand much about pill refining. "Please enlighten me, xiaojie!"

However, he was secretly surprised in his heart. Just now, this girl's ability to differentiate between medicinal herbs was extraordinary. Even a high-level apothecary might not have such abilities. His pill forging skills definitely weren't that bad.

Hearing that, Lin Miaoke frowned, the expression on her face became calm: "If you want to concoct this pill, then it will take at least three quarters of an hour to add in the two flavors of silver hook and brown board. As for the rest, you still need to choose your time, otherwise, this pill will be like your pill, and will become a Toxic Pill. Other than that, after the medicine was boiled, he would need to use the first seven seals of the twelve seal to control the pill and repel the poison. "In order to open the crucible, one has to use the Art of Controlling Essence to disperse the flames in the core —"

Halfway through his words, he saw Qin Lie becoming more and more confused as he listened. Lin Miaoke couldn't help but feel helpless again, "Forget it, even if I were to tell you about this method, you won't be able to concoct this pill. It's no wonder you didn't know that this matter involved some of our sect's Secret Method. I will refine this Ling Dan for you. However, if it's a success, you have to tell me, which book did you read about this Ling Dan's pill formula? Out of what? If you want to learn, you can come in and watch. "

The tip of his nose once again sniffed lightly, and then, he followed the smell of the fire, walking directly into Qin Lie's room.

Qin Lie was startled, thinking to himself, with this girl's temper, why is she so impatient? He had yet to tell her the complete pill formula before he hurriedly started concocting.

Even if one was aware of the medicinal properties of the pill, it was impossible for one to know its quality. Yet, it was still able to forge pills like that?

At this time, Zhao Yu also walked over. His gaze was murderous and even colder than yesterday, "But you know how to concoct pills too? Miss was taken in as a disciple by the Dan Quan Zong seven years ago. He'd only studied for three years and had already been selected by old man Ming Dan as his last disciple. As the sect's number one pill talent, it would only take thirty years to become his legacy. Forget it, why should I tell you all this? "What a waste of time!"

His words were filled with disdain. As if she was too lazy to reply to Qin Lie: "You only need to know that with Miss's identity, she is far from someone who a trash like you, a Soul Sea is incapable of opening, able to look up to. Even if there comes a day when you really managed to open a Soul Sea, you won't be worthy of it. If you have any consciousness, then scram far away, don't bother Miss anymore! "

The sound was as thin as a gossamer, only five meters long. However, Qin Lie could hear everything clearly.

Duan Yun's eyes were wide open, feeling indignant, but Qin Lie stopped him and laughed softly: Dan Quan Zong? Qin Lie had heard of it, so was one of the Ling Mansion right? It was said that its strength was on par with the Mysterious Sky Sect in the Ten Ancient Sects, and it specialized in alchemy. As for Upper Heaven Sect, I have also heard that lightning techniques are extremely powerful — "

Zhao Yu's expression froze for a moment, and then he sneered: "It's even better if you know. That's right, since young mistress is the one who has personally made a move on your line of Ling Dan, it can probably be completed in a day and a half. Then he would just pick it up again! Young Miss' pill refining skills are related to her sect's secrets. Young Master Qin should not watch from the sidelines! "

After saying that, he walked into Qin Lie's room. Just as Qin Lie was about to enter with a thick face, the door slammed shut with a 'pa' sound.
