"Kid, are you toying with me? Do you want to die? I'm an Aurous Core stage expert, and you're still not qualified!" Elder Li also started to provoke Xu Xiaoming.

I'm not going to mess with you anymore. Today I'm going to start concocting pills, so prepare the ingredients for me. I can give you half of the pills I concoct.

"Really? Great, I already said that if you came to our Ancient Martial Arts World and Institute of Abnormal Biology, it would definitely be a great fortune for our research institute! "Alright, just you wait. I'll give you the ingredients today." Elder Li said happily.

"That's good. These are the herbs that I need. Please take them and make them according to this." Xu Xiaoming secretly smiled and gave Elder Li a piece of paper.

Elder Li beamed as he received the paper, but the moment he saw the paper, his face instantly fell. Where did these medicinal herbs come from?

Only a few medicinal ingredients could be bought in an ordinary medicine market, the rest required ancient martial arts and Institute of Abnormal Biology's storage of medicinal ingredients. He needed the approval of his superior, but Elder Li had risked his life for Xu Xiaoming to join the Ancient Martial Arts and Institute of Abnormal Biology.

Seeing the awkwardness on Elder Li's face, Xu Xiaoming snickered.

"Then I'll go back first. I'll wait for your good news." "Heh heh."

Elder Li watched as Xu Xiaoming walked back in silence.

When night came, Elder Li finally found Xu Xiaoming and said that they had gathered all the medicinal ingredients.

"Alright, let's begin." After Xu Xiaoming finished speaking, he did not hesitate and directly took out the medicinal furnace that the giant frog had given him.

The instant Elder Li released the cauldron, he already felt that this cauldron did not belong to Earth at all. He desperately wanted to study it, but his rationality had already surpassed his instincts. Being able to stay by Xu Xiaoming's side to refine pills could bring a lot of benefits.

Because in the beginning, Xu Xiaoming did not enter a state of meditation, but instead, refining Xiao Pei Yuan Dan s at the beginning.

Xu Xiaoming hugged the side of the Cauldron, and slowly operated the internal exercise in《 Holy Grimoire》, then called his True Qi to heat the Cauldron!

In a second, the entire cauldron had become completely red under the heating by Xu Xiaoming's Innate Qi. The various medicinal ingredients on his face also started to spin quickly according to the direction of the Innate Qi.

These medicinal herbs rapidly rotated and rubbed against each other. After about ten minutes, they turned into a light green paste.

He quickly took out a ten-year-old ginseng from his bosom and stuffed it into the medicine cauldron.

With the supplement from this ginseng, the medicinal paste within the cauldron began to spin rapidly and then slowly shrinking. A little bit of the residue was thrown out like water from a clothes dryer and then slowly evaporated, leaving behind the purest medicinal liquid!

As the dregs in the solution dwindled, the color of the solution changed from a pale green to a thick white, as thick as yogurt.

At this time, Xu Xiaoming slowly reduced the usage of his Innate Qi. The temperature in the medicine cauldron slowly fell, the white medicinal liquid inside solidified into the shape of a pill …

"Hu!" It was finally complete!

At the bottom of the medicine cauldron lay a pigeon egg-sized pill that was as white as jade!

"Alright, your pill refining efficiency is pretty high. I'll help you taste if you can consume this batch of pills." With that, Elder Li ate the entire pot of pills. Although the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan did not have any substantial enhancement towards the current Elder Li, eating some was still good.

Xu Xiaoming did not fight with Elder Li. He turned around and started concocting the Pei-Yuan Dan.

Next, Xu Xiaoming adjusted his breathing, and then, following the procedure in his memory, he first ignited the flames with his Innate Qi, and then went through the flames inside the Qingming Pill Furnace.

This step was an essential step in the process of refining quality pills. It was known as the furnace.

He had to be careful because the control over the fire had to be extremely minute. If he was careless, the entire furnace would be wasted!

This process of heating the furnace allowed the temperature to reach the same level. This way, the pills placed in the furnace would not be damaged.

Following that, Xu Xiaoming placed the three types of herbs that were slightly hot into the pill furnace, then slowly started to circulate his cultivation technique, increasing the output of his Zhen Qi, two balls of flame directly appeared in Xu Xiaoming's palms, Xu Xiaoming directly placed his palms outside the furnace, using the True Qi flame to heat it up.

This place was different from refining low quality pills. The low quality pills only needed to be heated directly outside the pill furnace with a high temperature converted from Zhen Qi. However, the top quality pills would need to be refined with a flame of Zhen Qi, which consumed a lot of Zhen Qi.

On this point, Xu Xiaoming understood after he received the giant frog's inherited memories, that it was impossible for him to persist until he refined the entire furnace of Energy Cultivation Pills by relying on his current Innate Qi!

However, this did not mean that Xu Xiaoming was still afraid of this happening.

That was why Xu Xiaoming had refined a few batches before the furnace was opened.

Although the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan could not help him increase his cultivation anymore, it was more than enough to help him recover his true qi!

Roughly a quarter of an hour later, the first three warm medicinal ingredients had turned into green liquid, the dregs were all cleaned up, and the temperature inside the pill furnace was already extremely high, so Xu Xiaoming did not hesitate, and directly placed two extremely hot medicinal ingredients into the furnace!

The flame in his hand doubled in intensity. The flame had gone from orange in color to jade green in color. There was a sizzling sound coming from the pill furnace!

Only by using this kind of raging fire could the medicinal essence within the medicinal ingredients with great heat attribute be completely stimulated and assimilated into the medicinal pill!

This time, it lasted for a rather long time. It took a full ten minutes before the two types of pill with great heat attribute were completely refined into medicinal essence!

Xu Xiaoming seized the opportunity and stuffed the half of the Herba Blueheart's leaf into the pill furnace!

Now, Xu Xiaoming's cultivation speed was obviously slower than before. After yesterday's battle, Xu Xiaoming deeply felt that his own strength was not enough.

Thus, refining a Pei-Yuan Dan was a necessity!

The Herba Blueheart was full and juicy, and extremely intelligent, but it could not withstand the high temperature of the roasting, and very quickly turned into a ball of blue liquid!

Without hesitating at all, Xu Xiaoming used his fingers to pick up another two herbs with cold properties and stuffed them into the furnace. These two herbs with cold properties just happened to absorb the high temperature inside the furnace, causing the temperature inside to plummet!
