Hai Bo Dong: This Young Man, Holy Shit
Qin Yu placed the medicine cauldron on the stone table in front of him and examined it carefully.
The cracks on the cauldron are like a spider web, and some even run from the mouth of the cauldron all the way to the legs. At first glance, it does look like a broken iron pot.
But upon closer inspection, the cracks didn't appear to be from being dropped or intentionally damaged.
Qin Yu felt that these cracks were originally on the body of the cauldron, but because the accumulated dust was so thick, they appeared to be a bunch of cracks.
He tried scratching the grime off the surface of the cauldron with his fingernail, and a fine line was revealed beneath the scraped-off grime.
Qin Yu drew a basin of water from the well, found a rag, dipped it in the water, and repeatedly wiped the cauldron.
The grime was easier to clean than expected; after wiping it several times, the original black color of the cauldron gradually became visible.
The cracks are patterns that were originally present on the surface of the cauldron, not damage incurred later.
He turned the medicine cauldron over, poured out the remaining ash, and was about to wipe the inside of the cauldron again when his fingers suddenly touched a ring of uneven marks.
Qin Yu paused, and the Green Lotus Core Flame appeared in his hand, illuminating the inside of the medicine cauldron and gradually approaching the bottom.
On the bottom of the medicine cauldron, there was a circle of densely packed symbols, numbering about a hundred, arranged closely together, with an ancient shape.
Qin Yu couldn't recognize the meaning of these symbols, but he could sense that this circle of symbols was the true secret of this medicine cauldron.
He tried to probe the cauldron with his soul power, but when his perception swept over the circle of symbols, it was like throwing a stone into the sea—completely unresponsive.
It's possible that the seal on this circle of symbols is still in effect, requiring specific conditions to activate.
What conditions?
Qin Yu thought for a moment and realized that he only had a few methods at his disposal.
The secrets remaining in the medicine cauldron can be basically confirmed to be related to the Alchemist.
Alchemist can leave information in this way must be of a high rank.
As a rare and precious object coveted by all Alchemist, Heavenly Flames might just work.
He placed the medicine cauldron steadily on the stone table, pressed his right hand on the edge of the cauldron's mouth, and with a thought, a wisp of Azure Green Lotus Core Flame surged from his palm and slowly poured into the cauldron.
When the flame touched the circle of symbols, a bluish-white light suddenly shone from the bottom of the cauldron, and one symbol after another lit up.
The next second, an invisible force surged from the symbol, followed the flames into his palm, and rushed straight to his brow.
Qin Yu felt a bang in his mind as countless pieces of information flooded in like a tidal wave, as if a part of his memory had been forcibly implanted.
The sheer volume of information nearly overwhelmed Qin Yu.
He gritted his teeth, trying his best to digest this flood of information.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
At this moment, he already had a complete Alchemist's legacy in his mind.
The properties of medicinal materials, the control of cooking time, and the compatibility of prescriptions—these most basic and core elements are all included without any error.
Moreover, the inheritance includes a large number of pill formulas, ranging from first to sixth grade, and even a few incomplete records of seventh grade pill formulas.
Qin Yu estimated that the Alchemist could leave behind such a high-level legacy must have been at least a sixth-rank or higher during his lifetime, and possibly even a seventh-rank.
After all, Alchemist soul power is not strong enough cannot possibly seal their own inheritance in a medicine cauldron and keep it intact for a long time.
However, perhaps precisely because of its antiquity, some of the traditional elixirs and secret techniques have been lost or incomplete.
Fortunately, the most basic items were stored intact, and the missing parts were of little significance to Qin Yu at the moment.
After receiving the inherited information, Qin Yu glanced down at the medicine cauldron on the table. He now knew the origin of the patterns on the cauldron.
Because this medicine cauldron was crafted by the Alchemist himself!
These cracks are the unique patterns that the Alchemist carved into the cauldron when it was forged, used to guide the flames and soul power during the alchemy process; they are traces of craftsmanship.
The fire vents of the medicine cauldron were not just the two Qin Yu saw; there were many more hidden in places covered by ash.
The name of this medicine cauldron is quite imposing— the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron.
However, the Alchemist's own name is not mentioned in the legacy he left behind.
Qin Yu solemnly placed the medicine cauldron on the stone table, then stepped back and bowed to the cauldron, which was considered his respectful greeting.
No wonder this thing could give him a stronger feeling than the Three Mysterious Flame Change.
However, even the complete version of the Three Mysterious Flame Change probably cannot compare to this high-level Alchemist's inheritance.
He sat down again, roughly sorted through the inheritance in his mind, and his gaze fell on the medicine cauldron beside him and the Green Lotus Core Flame dancing in his palm.
The cauldron is ready, the Heavenly Flames is ready, and a lot of medicinal herbs are stored in the Storage Ring ring.
Now, he's even stumbled upon the Alchemist's legacy, otherwise...
Give it a try?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Qin Yu took out several medicinal herbs from his Storage Ring.
He didn't choose any particularly difficult pill formulas; he planned to practice with a first-grade healing medicine, Blood-Coagulating Powder.
Anyway, these herbs weren't bought with my own money, and they were all low-grade herbs that could be found everywhere in street-side herbal medicine shops, so I might as well burn them and treat it as practice.
A person with Earth-Attribute Battle Qi becoming Alchemist —that's truly surreal.
After placing the medicine cauldron in front of him, Qin Yu took a deep breath, constantly recalling the basic medicine-making knowledge he had just acquired.
He can learn this very quickly; he just needs to practice it.
He placed his palm on the fire vent, and the Green Lotus Core Flame within his body surged into the cauldron through the vent.
The temperature of the Green Lotus Core Flame was terrifying; as soon as it entered the cauldron, the entire cauldron vibrated with a buzzing sound.
Qin Yu quickly infused a trace of Wood Attribute power, and the patterns on the cauldron glowed with a gentle halo, firmly binding the flames to the center of the cauldron.
He manipulated the flames to slowly raise the temperature, feeling the changes in the heat, and couldn't help but marvel at it, like a child who had received a new toy.
Hey, this thing is fun!
After a moment, feeling that the flame temperature had been adjusted to a suitable level, he picked up a Blood-Coagulating Grass and put it into the cauldron.
The grass blades didn't burn instantly when they came into contact with the flames; Qin Yu's temperature control was excellent.
Through extraction, he successfully preserved the active ingredients in the Blood-Coagulating Grass.
Next, Qin Yu added the other medicinal herbs one by one into the cauldron, adjusting the temperature and flame size according to the characteristics of the herbs.
As things were going more and more smoothly, Qin Yu, without paying attention, chuckled and the refined substance was instantly burned to ashes.
"..."
Looking at the pile of dregs at the bottom of the medicine cauldron, Qin Yu raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.
Damn it, you got to be so cocky!
"Qin Yu? Are you... refining medicine?"
Just then, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly came out of the house.
Seeing the medicine cauldron in front of Qin Yu and the flame in his hand, Xiao Yi Xian's mind was a little slow to process it.
How could this be...?
How did they suddenly start concocting medicine?
