This Time, You've Entered My, Chu Xinghe's, Comfort Zone!

As everyone knows, if you want to learn alchemy, you must first learn to identify herbs; this is an unchanging principle for all alchemists.

Otherwise, how can you, an alchemist, refine pills if you don't even know the properties of the herbs?

It's like someone who studies math but doesn't even recognize the most basic numbers and symbols—how can they possibly learn?

How can a cook not even distinguish between firewood, rice, oil, and salt?

This is like our Holy Lord Gu Mingchao of the Vast Heaven Holy Land; he doesn't even know Watch Quietly as Things Change. How can he become the Emperor of the Human Race?

Chu Xinghe cried while learning alchemy back then!

Chu Xinghe even suspected that if he hadn't directly inherited all the medicinal properties from the Medicine Saint Inheritance back then, there wouldn't be a Senior Brother Xinghe today. He'd still be over there reciting that Evening Primrose is Evening Primrose, Moon Nether Grass is Moon Nether Grass, and Moon Cave Grass is Evening Primrose...

Therefore, in the field of medicine making, just learning how to identify herbs is enough to shut out more than 90% of people!

Every year, disciples from the Vast Heaven Holy Land come to the Spirit Crane Palace to learn alchemy, but why hasn't the overall number of disciples in the Spirit Crane Palace increased much over the years?

That's because alchemy requires not only talent, but also patience!

You think you've discovered your unparalleled alchemy talent and amazing fire control after the test? But no matter how amazing you are, your first step is to learn about Evening Primrose!

Faced with hundreds of thousands of different medicinal herbs, each herb can produce completely opposite medicinal properties depending on the year, region, and even growing environment.

Furthermore, each medicinal property can undergo completely different changes compared to other medicinal materials under different flame temperatures or refining methods!

No matter how talented you are, unless you're one of those people from the Muyue Kingdom who can instantly understand the medicinal properties of all herbs, you'll still have to learn everything from scratch, bit by bit!

This is why there are many geniuses in the world who can learn alchemy, but high-level alchemists are always few and far between.

Because it's too difficult to get started. Not only do you need talent, but you also need to be able to endure the hardship, otherwise you can only give up!

Now, Chu Xinghe exclaimed, "Mu Bai, why the hell are you letting a bunch of Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits learn to identify herbs here?"

Why don't you just find a knife and stab your Junior Brother Man Sheng to death...?

Wouldn't it be better to let your Junior Brother Man Sheng die a quicker death?

Moreover, what's the point of Chu Xinghe learning to identify medicinal herbs?

Did Lao Tzu send the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to the Medicine King Palace just so they could all stare blankly at the Evening Primroses?

I sent your Senior Brother Xinghe to the Medicine King Palace, although it was to interrupt their learning of Totem Artifact Refining Techniques. But I also hoped they could disrupt the rhythm of our Medicine King Palace!

After all, the various elixirs produced by our Medicine King Palace every year are truly a super profitable business!

If the arrival of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits causes the Medicine King Palace to be completely destroyed, with furnaces exploding and production plummeting, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

Therefore, Chu Xinghe immediately decided that from now on, all the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits would not need to learn how to identify herbs, but could go straight to the alchemy furnace!

"Senior Brother Xinghe... this... how can you refine medicine if you can't even identify herbs?" Mu Bai looked at the excited Senior Brother Xinghe with a blank expression!

"Who said we were going to let them refine medicine..." Chu Xinghe began, but realized he'd spoken too quickly and accidentally blurted out the truth, so he quickly corrected himself...

"Ahem... I have other purposes!"

Listening to what Senior Brother Xinghe said, Mu Bai didn't know what Senior Brother Xinghe's other motives were, but since Senior Brother Xinghe said it was fine, then he would do as Senior Brother Xinghe said...

In the time that followed, the Medicine King Palace of the Vast Heaven Holy Land demonstrated to the entire Four Continents why identifying medicinal herbs is essential before refining medicine!

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

What does it mean for the sounds of explosions to be constant?

Today's Medicine King Palace has begun...

It has to be said that when it comes to exploding furnaces, the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits has an absolutely enormous talent!

Look at that, that Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits can not only blow up furnaces in the Artifact Refining Palace, but it can also blow up furnaces in the Medicine King Palace, and it blows up even louder!

Good heavens! With the constant explosions coming from the Medicine King Palace, countless powerful figures who were still lingering in the Vast Heaven Holy Land were dumbfounded!

The bigwigs from all sides rushed to the Medicine King Palace as soon as possible. Seeing the various explosions, they were all utterly bewildered...

No... does your Vast Heaven Holy Land have an addiction to exploding furnaces?

Do you Vast Heaven Holy Land people really love causing explosions in your furnaces?

Quickly! Inform our alchemy disciples immediately and tell them to hurry to Vast Heaven Holy Land to take a look!

The bigwigs from all sides said that this trip to the Medicine King Palace Vast Heaven Holy Land was not without its gains... At least the explosion at the Medicine King Palace demonstrated to all the alchemy apprentices across the Four Continents just how important it is to identify medicinal herbs.

Good heavens! With the mobilization of countless powerful figures, alchemy apprentices from all sides are flocking to the Vast Heaven Holy Land for a visit!

The young alchemy apprentices from all sides are all exceptionally talented, but very few of them are able to calm down and learn how to identify medicinal herbs step by step.

Some rebellious individuals even shouted, "Can't we learn to refine medicine and identify herbs at the same time?"

And now the bigwigs are saying, "Kids, look... this is the result of not learning to identify medicinal herbs..."

Now you know what happens when you try to concoct medicine without learning how to identify medicinal herbs, right?

It must be said that Vast Heaven Holy Land's promotion of the necessity of learning herbal identification has inspired countless young alchemy apprentices to reaffirm their determination to study herbal identification diligently!

The problem is, while we don't know how the young apprentices' mentality has changed, all the bigwigs are completely baffled!

No... So many of us are waiting here hoping that the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits can quickly learn the Totem Artifact Refining Technique and start producing Totem Spirit Treasures, but you Chu Xinghe, have sent all the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to the Medicine King Palace!

We all initially thought you had something really important to do by sending the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to the Medicine King Palace. We were all on the edge of our seats, and now this is what you show us?

Do you, Chu Xinghe, have some unique fondness for deep fryers?

You feel uneasy if you don't hear the sound of something exploding in the oven, right?

Chu Xinghe really wanted to answer the questions raised by the various bigwigs... Yes...

But not absolutely!

I, Chu Xinghe, not only enjoy listening to the sound of exploding furnaces, I also enjoy watching various incidents at the Medicine King Palace where furnace explosions prevented proper medicine refining!

Look at the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom. In the past, they spent almost ten out of twelve hours a day refining medicine, with only one hour for rest and one hour... bullying Mu Xiaoqi...

Now, with the addition of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, you can see that even the Muyue Kingdom can't refine pills for ten hours anymore!

With the addition of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, the number of pills produced by the entire Alchemy Palace has plummeted!

These are all losses, my friends!

Chu Xinghe declared that placing the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits in the Medicine King Palace was absolutely the greatest maneuver he had ever made!

Now, I've single-handedly brought the Medicine King Palace to its knees... Can you believe how incredibly powerful that is?!

Of course, while excited, Chu Xinghe also settled down at the Medicine King Palace.

The reason is simple... friends, last time it was one careless mistake that led to a complete victory...

This time, I must prepare all the defenses in advance. If I find that the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits shows any reaction that may cause any changes to the pill, I, Chu Xinghe, will nip it in the bud!

After all, when it comes to weapon crafting, I, Chu Xinghe, really don't know anything about it...

So I have absolutely no idea what those Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits are doing.

But when it comes to alchemy, if I, Chu Xinghe, say I don't know anything about it, is there anyone else who does?

So Misfortune Compass, do you even realize that this time you've practically stepped right into my comfort zone?!

In Lao Tzu's area of expertise, no one could possibly defeat him!

The Misfortune Compass, kneel before me! Study it carefully!

As it turns out, there really wasn't a problem with this attempt. What kind of effect would a group of Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits who haven't even learned how to identify herbs have when they try to concoct medicine?

That means just grab whatever medicinal herbs you can and throw them in...

In this situation, even if you were a perfectly normal cat, it would be very difficult to find a dead mouse, let alone a blind cat stumbling upon one!

So, the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits refined the potion for many days without any strange occurrences...

Seeing this scene, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears!

Of course, even knowing this situation, Chu Xinghe dared not be careless in the slightest. Chu Xinghe said that there should be no wishful thinking, as any wishful thinking could be the key to our failure!

Therefore, Chu Xinghe directly banned Ma Liang from entering the Medicine King Palace...

You guys want Ma Liang to betray me, Chu Xinghe?

No way!

You Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits can just stay here and concoct your own medicine...

Let the Artifact Refining Palace be responsible for refining the pill furnaces, and then send the finished pill furnaces to the Medicine King Palace to be blown up by the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits!

A perfect closed loop!

Chu Xinghe was ecstatic about this perfect closed loop!

On this day, Chu Xinghe was lying in his rocking chair, about to take a nap, when he saw Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly pop out from some corner!

"Junior Brother Xinghe... are you getting ready to rock?"

"Senior Brother Shen Chun... has something to say again?"

"Hmm! Guess if it's good or bad..."

"This can't be a good thing..."

"Junior Brother Xinghe, what you said this time was inaccurate; it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing!"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Chu Xinghe quickly understood why Senior Brother Shen Chun had said that!

Because that Hua Xichen is here again... and this time it's not just that Hua Xichen, but also Zheng Yu and his group of young prodigies.

Shen Chun said that they were all outside requesting an audience!

Their purpose in coming here is likely related to the Land of Bewildered Spirits, which is the main reason why Senior Brother Shen Chun couldn't say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing...
