After saying this, Taishang Laojun began working, putting the herbs in one by one. Since this was Ye Chen's first time learning, he was flustered and all over the place.
Taishang Laojun said, "Alchemizing pills requires a calm mind. You're far too impatient right now. Sit to the side and watch me do it carefully from beginning to end first."
Ye Chen sat to the side and watched Taishang Laojun.
Taishang Laojun said, "The Form Transformation Pill was created long ago by an exceptionally talented alchemist from the demon race. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us. Sigh."
Ye Chen suddenly thought, I remember now. Huang Tian, Immortal Zhenyuan's disciple, took a Form Transformation Pill back then.
Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "That was a low-grade Form Transformation Pill. It could turn a beast into a human, but it couldn't preserve the beast's potential."
"What we're refining today is a high-grade Form Transformation Pill called the Xi Ling Form Transformation Pill. It can preserve beastly nature and strengthen the human form."
Taishang Laojun continued, "I'm starting now. Watch closely this time."
Ye Chen quickly nodded.
Taishang Laojun said, "When refining pills, controlling the fire is most important. It can't be too strong or too weak. The Shen Nong Cauldron can regulate the fire on its own, but when you refine pills, you must control it with your qi. Do you understand?"
Ye Chen said, "I understand."
Taishang Laojun continued, "Once you've controlled the fire, the two most important steps are refining the herbs and fusing the pill."
As he spoke, Taishang Laojun refined the herbs in his hand into powder and poured it into a container, then took out a gourd.
Taishang Laojun said, "This is Melting Pill Water. I'll teach you how to prepare it in a moment."
