Soon, Yu Linglong, like Tang San, entered Deep Meditation to recover her damaged spirit. Ning Rongrong looked curiously at the jade box in Yu Xiaogang's hand and asked, "Teacher, what treasure is in your jade box? Is it the treasure you mentioned for restoring the Spiritual Origin?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled smugly at Ning Rongrong's question, and used his Mental Power to open the Soul Tool Rune- suppressing runes, revealing ten small jade gourds inside, and explained:

"Rongrong, do you still remember the Whale Rubber pills you ate when you were little?"

Ning Rongrong recalled the Whale Rubber pills she had been taking since arriving at the Dragon Gate Sect, stuck out her tongue, frowned, and complained to Yu Xiaogang:

"Teacher, please don't say that. Those Whale Rubber pills are so awful, they're greasy and bitter. Every time I finish eating them, my mouth is filled with a strange taste. Teacher, couldn't you have added some honey to improve the flavor when you were making the pills?"

Ning Rongrong shuddered at the memory of the strange smell of the Whale Rubber pills, rubbed her arms together, and continued:

"And we ate it for three whole years, three meals a day. If it weren't for the sweets to soothe my heart and stomach, I wouldn't have taken Whale Rubber pills!"

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile wryly as he listened to Ning Rongrong's complaints. It wasn't that he didn't want to improve the taste of the Whale Rubber pills, but it was just too much trouble. He could only comfort Ning Rongrong and explain:

"Neither Rongrong nor sugar can withstand high-temperature processing, but Whale Rubber requires high-temperature heat treatment. Adding honey will make the taste even stranger. The teacher has tried it several times."

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he manipulated his Mental Power to take out six jade gourds from the medicine box and floated them in front of his disciples. He smiled and said, "This time, these are real pills for restoring the Spiritual Origin. They are not the same as the ones you took before. Those Whale Rubber pills were just pills that were mixed and kneaded by hand. This is Soul Power alchemy method that your teacher has been researching for many years. If you are interested, you can come to your teacher to learn another skill. It would be good to have another skill."

Xiao Wu curiously took the jade gourd floating in front of her, carefully opened the jade opening, poured out the contents into her palm, and examined it. She even gently sniffed it with her little nose and found that it had no smell at all, completely unlike the strange smell of the Whale Rubber pills that tasted bad before.

Ning Rongrong came to Xiao Wu's side and picked up the round ball that didn't look like a pill at all. She squeezed it slightly and felt like she was holding a piece of jade. Looking at the jade-colored, lusterless, unidentified pill between her fingers, she asked Yu Xiaogang with a blank expression, "Teacher? Are you sure this is a pill or a stone? It's so hard, how can I swallow it? I feel like my teeth are going to break. Do I have to swallow it whole, teacher?"

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she subconsciously swallowed, looking at the pill between her fingers that was about the size of a longan. She felt like she would choke to death if she swallowed it! She would definitely choke to death! In response to Ning Rongrong's worries, Yu Xiaogang said mysteriously, "I had already thought of this. As for why I made the pill this way, it's to maintain its efficacy for a long time. The outer layer is a special Pill Coat to protect the pill inside. As long as you hold it in your mouth, it will slowly dissolve into liquid and enter your stomach, allowing your body to absorb it gradually."

Yu Xiaogang's explanation relieved Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. At least it was different from what they had guessed. Their voices weren't that loud, and they couldn't swallow such a large pill.

By this time, Tang San and Yu Linglong had finished regulating their breathing, and their complexions were much better than before; at least they didn't look like they were about to fall into a deep sleep.

Seeing that the two had woken up, Yu Xiaogang repeated what he had just said to Tang San and Yu Linglong. Tang San's eyes lit up immediately, and then he asked Yu Xiaogang with a puzzled look:

"Teacher, could you explain the difference between this pill and the Whale Rubber pills we took before? Is it a difference in the refining method? Also, what is the name of this pill? Besides restoring the Spiritual Origin, it should also enhance Mental Power, right?"

Tang San's large, blue-gold eyes gleamed with excitement; he was the most qualified to speak on alchemy. In his previous life, working as a laborer in the Tang Sect, he had frequently come into contact with refining various poison pills.

Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction at Tang San's speculation and said:

"What you said, San-ge, is right. However, this pill was made by the teacher by extracting the special Soul Power of the Immortal Herb, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Water, and combining it with various medicinal herbs. However, I did not give it a name. The pill's effects can not only restore the Spiritual Origin and enhance Mental Power, but also purify Mental Power and allow Sea of Consciousness to advance further."

Yu Xiaogang interrupted Tang San, who was about to say something, saying, "As for the difference between the pills you took before and the elixirs you have now, language is still too inadequate. Let Yun Lan explain it with a more intuitive projection! Yun Lan, it's your turn to perform."

At this moment, Yun Lan's unique and ethereal female voice rang out from the previously empty Training Field: "As you command, my Creator, the projection range is being adjusted. Please do not move. The projection demonstration video will begin."

The instant Yun Lan finished speaking, several white metal Soul Tool with lenses flew out from nowhere and began to shoot out beams of blue light around Tang San and his companions, starting to construct a virtual projection.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were seeing such a realistic virtual projection for the first time. It was exactly the same as the real scene. The two, who were too inexperienced, immediately exclaimed in amazement. This made Yu Xiaogang feel that everything he had done was worthwhile. This was also a special teaching experience.

When Deep Blue develops a more cost-effective virtual projection technology and introduces it to the Douluo Soul Master World, it would be a disgrace to the Dragon Gate Sect if Oscar and Ma Hongjun still act like they have no knowledge of such things.

Tang San and his friends watched as their surroundings were gradually replaced by a laboratory constructed from blue light particles. Their original Training Field had disappeared, and they suddenly found themselves in a Medicine Room, as they saw densely packed wooden boxes and drawers on the virtual projection wall.

Before they could even marvel at the wonder of the virtual projection, Yun Lan's ethereal female voice began to explain and demonstrate the movements.

Tang San stared intently with his beautiful blue-gold eyes. After all, among Yu Xiaogang's disciples, he was the only one who was particularly fond of alchemy; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so persistent in remembering Yu Xiaogang's herb garden after Jiujiu about it.

Yun Lan first used the Whale Rubber Tang San and his friends often ate as an example. She crushed and sieved various medicinal materials, boiled them in water to extract the useful medicinal properties, then manually measured the amount of each medicinal material, mixed them together in order, added water to make dough, and rolled them into pills one by one.

Tang San was not surprised by these methods, which he considered quite normal. Anyone could do these things by following the prescription step by step. He began to look forward to the new alchemy methods his teacher had developed. He was quite surprised that he could learn the pills that Yu Xiaogang had just given him.

Because Tang San had never seen a pill as hard as jade, and the Pill Coat could only be melted by saliva was such a fantastical thing.
