After Xiao Yao successfully refined the Hemostatic Powder, Elder Huo gave him several more prescriptions that were not of high quality.
Most of them are powders, ointments, or even liquids; there are no pills that need to be formed into a physical form.
After Xiao Yao learns that he has successfully refined it once, he is able to record it on the Panel.
Xiao Yao didn't choose to suffer in silence, and directly asked Elder Huo to guide him through the entire refining process.
Elder Huo was somewhat puzzled by this.
Having successfully refined the Hemostatic Powder, Xiao Yao now had a clear understanding of the steps and key points of medicine refining.
Under such circumstances, attempting to concoct new medicinal formulas would certainly be better for improving one's own abilities.
However, Xiao Yao still requested that he guide him throughout the entire process.
Although Elder Huo was puzzled, seeing Xiao Yao's insistence, he didn't say much and instead provided guidance throughout the process.
Under Elder Huo's guidance, Xiao Yao successfully mastered the refining methods for medicines such as Clearwind Paste, Beast-Repelling Powder, and Detoxifying Liquid.
Under Elder Huo's guidance, Xiao Yao made no mistakes and completed the refining process in one go.
Xiao Yao then refined each prescription nine times, for a total of ten times, and succeeded each time, which meant he had completely mastered the prescription.
Elder Huo went from being shocked and numb at first, to now being somewhat used to it.
"Excellent! You've learned four prescriptions in one day; that's unprecedented in the history of the Alchemy Department."
Elder Huo spoke calmly, though he himself didn't know how he could say such a thing so calmly.
Xiao Yao asked with some anticipation, "Elder Huo, can I learn the first-grade medicine formula now?"
Elder Huo looked Xiao Yao up and down and nodded. "Alright, this is a first-grade medicine prescription, the Fire-Clearing Pill. Take it and study it, and while you're at it, restore your own Soul Power."
Xiao Yao took the scroll and probed it with his Soul Power.
Suddenly, a flood of information rushed into my mind.
The Fire-Clearing Pill can heal injuries caused by Fire Attribute Dou Qi or flames.
The Dou Qi Continent is home to many attributes, which means that injuries cannot be treated in the usual way. It's not just poison that can cause lasting damage to the body.
Attributes such as Fire Attribute and Ice Attribute are also acceptable.
If one is injured by a Fire Attribute cultivator and is not properly treated, simply healing the external injuries may leave the residual fire-attribute energy in the body, causing intense pain and burning sensations.
The same applies to the Ice Attribute.
At this time, certain elixirs can have miraculous effects.
Of course, using powerful Dou Qi to erase residual attribute damage is also an option.
However, seeking help from a powerful cultivator is often more difficult than obtaining a single elixir.
Even if one could find such a person, there would be many questions, such as whether they could be trusted and whether the person had experience in treating such cases.
At this time, the elixirs specially developed by alchemists played a huge role.
Xiao Yao comprehended the effects and refining steps of the Fire-Clearing Pill while restoring his Soul Power.
Compared to Xiao Yao's Dou Qi, the recovery of his Soul Power is indeed much slower.
Even though Xiao Yao is indoors and not directly exposed to sunlight, but only indirectly, his energy recovery speed is still very fast.
As mentioned before, Xiao Yao's so-called recovery of Dou Qi was actually Solar Energy directly flowing into Xiao Yao's body without being refined, so it cannot be considered true Yang-Attribute Dou Qi.
Under normal circumstances, this Solar Energy could not possibly be used for Dou Techniques or even for alchemy.
However, once the Solar Energy entered Xiao Yao's Xiao Yao, he gained a strong control over it.
It can be used not only for Dou Techniques, but also for alchemy.
In normal alchemy, the alchemist uses a cauldron to convert Dou Qi into flames, with Dou Qi acting as fuel.
Solar Energy can also be used as fuel, and even more effectively.
Therefore, it is not true that unrefined, non-genuine Yang-Attribute Dou Qi cannot be used for alchemy.
Once Xiao Yao had fully recovered, Elder Huo opened his eyes and looked over.
"Do you still need me to guide you through the whole process this time?" Elder Huo asked with a smile.
"Of course." Elder Huo shook his head helplessly.
"You little rascal, I just can't do anything with you."
"Even though you've mastered refining even low-grade medicines and understand the steps and key points of the process, you still need my guidance throughout."
Xiao Yao didn't explain anything, he just smiled and said...
"Thank you for your Elder Huo."
Then Xiao Yao placed his palm on the fire port of the medicine cauldron, circulated his Dou Qi, and caused golden flames to ignite inside the cauldron.
Once the cauldron had warmed up, Xiao Yao methodically placed the medicinal herbs inside to extract their essence.
Elder Huo pointed out, "What you are refining now is the main ingredient for the Fire-Clearing Pill: Ice-Pattern Bluegrass."
"Although it's Ice Attribute medicinal herb, we shouldn't rush into using it."
"Initially, use a light red temperature to slowly heat it until the ice patterns on the surface disappear, then gradually increase the temperature to light purple."
Xiao Yao did as instructed and successfully completed the extraction of the Ice-Pattern Bluegrass without any incident.
Looking at the viscous liquid churning within the golden flames, Xiao Yao nodded in satisfaction.
He then followed the same method and, with Elder Huo's guidance, successfully completed the refining process.
"Very good, the next step is the fusion stage. The fusion method for the Fire-Clearing Pill is the same as that for the Detoxifying Liquid; it needs to be completed step by step."
"First, fully integrate one auxiliary material, then proceed to the next."
Under Elder Huo's guidance, Xiao Yao successively added three auxiliary materials to the medicinal liquid of the Ice-Pattern Bluegrass.
As the last auxiliary ingredient was fully incorporated, the medicinal liquid took on a crystal-clear appearance.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath, changing the hand seals on his hands to maintain the temperature of the golden flames.
Elder Huo's voice came from the side. "Very good, next is the core condensation process."
"Although you haven't encountered this step before, once you reach the pill condensation stage, the alchemy process is basically 90% complete, so there's no need to worry too much."
Xiao Yao nodded slightly. As the golden flames burned, the crystal-clear liquid gradually condensed and took shape, slowly transforming into a somewhat uneven blue pill.
Seeing that he had successfully formed the initial shape of the pill, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief. The rest would be simple; he only needed to nurture it slowly with flames.
This final nurturing took Xiao Yao a full half hour.
As Xiao Yao changed his hand seals, a crystal-clear pill was spinning inside the medicine cauldron.
It doesn't look like a pill; it looks more like a small, crystal-clear ice ball.
With a wave of his right hand, Xiao Yao sent the pill flying out of the cauldron and into a Xiao Yao bottle that he had prepared beforehand.
Xiao Yao handed the jade bottle to Elder Huo and said with a smile.
"We would appreciate Elder Huo's comments."
Elder Huo smiled as he took the jade bottle, poured the pill into his palm, and examined it closely. He found that the Fire-Clearing Pill was crystal clear, and there was even a faint ring of ice patterns surrounding the pill on its surface.
"Pill Patterns!?"
Elder Huo asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao raised an eyebrow. Having read basic alchemy books, he naturally knew what Pill Patterns were.
That's a characteristic that can only appear when the quality and luster of the elixir reach their peak.
The fact that his pills had Pill Patterns on them meant that he had succeeded.
