Mu Xiaoqi, Forever Being Bullied!
The people of the Muyue Kingdom had actually considered the idea of automated medicine refining!
And it wasn't Mu Bai who came up with it, it was Mu Xiaoqi who came up with it!
As everyone knows, Mu Xiaoqi, who is always bullied, has a unique ability to slack off. Just like now... while everyone is suffering terribly at the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, no one realizes that Mu Xiaoqi isn't even there...
It's obvious that Mu Xiaoqi went to slack off again!
Mu Bai felt that the bullying wasn't enough...
At Mu Bai's call, the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom appeared, dragging Mu Xiaoqi by the ears!
"Brother... brother... brother... I really just went to the bathroom... You saw it too, I was really in the bathroom when you found me... I've just been too tired lately, I fell asleep in the bathroom... I really didn't slack off... You guys have to believe me..."
"Trust! There must be basic trust among us disciples of the Muyue Kingdom. You must believe that I, Mu Xiaoqi, truly don't like to slack off..."
Nobody cared what Mu Xiaoqi was actually saying...
At this moment, Mu Xiaoqi was thrown directly in front of Man Sheng.
Man Sheng looked at Mu Xiaoqi with a face full of ecstatic joy!
"No... Junior Brother Man Sheng, I'm your senior brother... What do you want to do to me...?"
When Mu Xiaoqi saw the tattooed Big Rhinoceros laughing wildly at her, Mu Xiaoqi panicked!
Although she had lived in a bullying environment for a long time, Mu Xiaoqi had become so fearless that she could just smile and ignore it. But could the intensity of the bullying by the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom be the same as the intensity of the bullying by the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits in front of her...?
Before Mu Xiaoqi could think about it, Mu Bai Mu Xiaoqi told her everything that had just happened!
Upon hearing all this, Mu Xiaoqi jumped up from the ground with a whoosh!
Mu Xiaoqi says, "Don't let my daily bullying and my slacking off fool you. When it comes to alchemy research, although my own skills aren't great, I'm absolutely the most advanced in my research direction!"
Mu Xiaoqi had actually thought about, and even tried, the idea of automated medicine refining!
But the result was far from satisfactory... There's no way around it; when refining pills, you can't just throw the herbs in and wait for the time to pass!
The matching of various medicinal properties and the control of the medicinal properties and temperature of various pills require extreme precision; even the slightest error will result in absolute failure!
So Mu Xiaoqi researched it for a long time, but in the end she had to give up!
But now, listening to everyone's opinions, Mu Xiaoqi feels there's great potential!
The first step in alchemy is controlling the heat. If you want the alchemy furnace to refine medicine on its own, you will not be able to pass the test of controlling the heat, because the earth fire without human control is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and is in an uncontrollable state.
But if a flame totem is added to the alchemy furnace, can the totem itself control the intensity of the fire in the furnace caused by the earth fire?
The second step is the integration of medicinal properties. In the past, with automatic alchemy, the medicinal materials could only change on their own after entering the furnace. But if a fusion totem is added, wouldn't that mean the totem itself can control the changes in medicinal properties...?
The timing and temperature were perfected, and the medicinal properties were fully integrated...
Once these two crucial issues are resolved, everything else can be accomplished through various wondrous totems!
In the past, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to imprint totems on the alchemy furnace. But don't forget, recently all the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits have been studying the Totem Artifact Refining Technique for so long. It would be very difficult for them to imprint totems on a spiritual treasure of the level of the Light of Xinghe Dark Gold Plate, but if they were to simply imprint totems on the alchemy furnace, it would be a piece of cake!
So immediately, Man Sheng, Mu Bai, and Mu Xiaoqi started experimenting!
Although the lack of technical support led to frequent furnace explosions, Ma Liang could see that as long as the direction was right, all that remained was to experiment repeatedly until the correct answer was found!
Upon seeing this, Ma Liang declared, "Senior Brother Xinghe, I, Ma Liang, have completed my mission. It's time to conceal my merits and depart gracefully!"
Right after Ma Liang left, Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits and Mu Bai spent their days researching the automatic alchemy furnace...
Despite the constant failures and explosions that led to the furnace explosions, they were still steadily pushing everything forward!
This is why Chu Xinghe could clearly hear the furnace still exploding these past two days, yet something still happened!
The furnace did explode, but it wasn't caused by refining medicine; rather, it exploded in an attempt to create an automated medicine refining system!
At this moment, Chu Xinghe had no time to think. The excited Man Sheng picked up his Senior Brother Xinghe and ran wildly towards the Medicine King Palace!
When the Chu Xinghe figurine was carried to the Medicine King Palace, all the big shots from the various palaces of our Vast Heaven Holy Land were there!
At that moment, Chu Xinghe saw from afar that the Grand Elder was squatting in front of a gaudy alchemy furnace, repeatedly uttering four words: "Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
While Chu Xinghe was still in a daze, Man Sheng carried his Senior Brother Xinghe all the way to the refining furnace. The next second, Mu Xiaoqi walked out from behind the refining furnace!
"Holy Lord... Holy Empress... Grand Elder... and all other elders, Senior Brother Xinghe... next, I, Mu Xiaoqi, will demonstrate to you this existence that is enough to change the world of alchemy!"
As soon as Mu Xiaoqi finished speaking, she took out a batch of herbs for Spirit Gathering Pill!
The Spirit Gathering Pill is the most common type of pill. Its function is to help the user recover their Spiritual Qi more quickly; it is a mana-restoring pill!
The refining process itself isn't too difficult!
Even if the Spirit Gathering Pill is the easiest to make, you still need to find an alchemist to control it, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to succeed!
But at this moment, after Mu Xiaoqi threw all the ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill into the refining furnace, everyone immediately left the furnace!
The moment the ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill entered the alchemy furnace, it was clear that the entire furnace was activated, and the various totems on its surface began to flash continuously!
Under the control of these shimmering totems, the earth fire actually increased or decreased in temperature according to the needs of the Spirit Gathering Pill!
Not only that, the alchemy furnace was also constantly flashing other totems. Each flash of these totems was as if they were being operated by a precision instrument. Finally, after all the totems had flashed, the alchemy furnace was opened!
There was no medicinal fragrance or unusual phenomenon. After the alchemy furnace was opened, Mu Xiaoqi calmly took out a plate of refined Spirit Gathering Pills from it!
Honestly, if those dark-looking Spirit Gathering Pills were actually made by Mu Xiaoqi, it wouldn't just be a matter of bullying; Mu Bai would have beaten Mu Xiaoqi to death!
Because this kind of quality can't even be called quality anymore; it's absolutely awful!
But at this moment, when he saw those dark-colored Spirit Gathering Pills, even Mu Bai were filled with pride!
The reason is very simple... If you want to refine this kind of low-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, you can find any alchemist who has broken through to the alchemy apprentice level, and they can basically do it easily!
But what if you don't find an alchemist?
What if there were no alchemists?
The Spirit Gathering Pill before us was made entirely without the help of an alchemist!
Therefore, at this point, the issue with the Spirit Gathering Pill is no longer whether it's of quality or not!
At this moment, the Spirit Gathering Pill has ushered in a completely new era!
At this moment, the Medicine King Palace not only houses many big shots from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but also many big shots from various parties who were previously residing in the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
So these big shots rushed over upon hearing the news!
At this moment, all the big shots present were filled with disbelief as they looked at those dark, unappetizing pills!
Palace Master Wu Qun's eyes were practically spitting blood!
No one understood better than Palace Master Wu Qun what these dark, low-grade Spirit Gathering Pills represented!
This signifies... the end of an era... and the beginning of a brand new one!
As a master alchemist, Wu Qun has experienced countless trials from childhood to adulthood, from identifying herbs to refining them...
Through repeated failures and successes, Wu Qun has become who he is today!
In countless moments of failure and success, do you think Wu Qun never thought it would be great if the alchemy furnace could refine medicine on its own?
I bet every alchemist has had this thought, right?
It's like thinking how great it would be if a pen could do its homework by itself... or how great it would be if a computer could make money on its own...
These things were almost impossible in the past... But today, Wu Qun knows that a new era has arrived!
"Master Mu... can this alchemy furnace refine all kinds of pills?" Wu Qun was the first to speak!
But when he called him "Master Mu," he was actually referring to Mu Xiaoqi!
What the heck? Calling me Master Mu Xiaoqi is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?
You only see me being bullied in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, that's because those bullies are too damn strong!
In the Vast Heaven Holy Land, everyone called me "Xiaoqi Xiaoqi" without saying a word... But once you leave the Vast Heaven Holy Land, what should you call me?
"Palace Master Wu Qun is joking. As Wu Qun can see, even if this thing is used to refine a Spirit Gathering Pill, it will only be of the lowest grade. There is currently no chance of refining high-grade pills. Moreover, based on our research these past few days, we can confirm that even with our continued research, we can only refine pills of Third Rank or lower at most in the short term!"
"Pills of Third Rank or higher are too complex, and the difficulty of refining them is quite high..."
After Mu Xiaoqi said this, not only Wu Qun, but all the alchemists present breathed a sigh of relief!
If this thing can be used to refine all kinds of pills through research, then there is no doubt that alchemists will be finished in the future!
But now, listening to Master Mu Xiaoqi's explanation, it's clear that pills below Third Rank can be automatically refined in the future, but those above Third Rank will still be difficult to replace!
Even so, the moment this alchemy furnace was created marked the end of an era!
Alchemists used to be rare. A Third Rank alchemist could easily enter a major sect and even support an entire Lineage!
But starting today, you'd better reach the Fourth Rank... otherwise... your Third Rank alchemist status will no longer give you any right to be arrogant...
