Palm Alchemy Method (Please Recommend)

After leaving Xiao Zhan, Lin Qingyun hurried to the Xiao Family Warehouse.

He had not bought a Medicine Cauldron, but he knew there was one in the Xiao Family Warehouse that had existed for who knew how long.

"Dad, I'm going in to take that Medicine Cauldron. Make a note of it!" Lin Qingyun said to the Fourth Elder, who was guarding the side of the Xiao Family Warehouse.

"Mm!" The Fourth Elder nodded, his aged face somehow still beaming with cheer.

The warehouse was huge, over a thousand ping in size. Lin Qingyun did not linger over the dazzling array of items and headed straight into the depths of the warehouse.

Among a pile of miscellaneous objects, a Medicine Cauldron over ten feet tall stood impressively. Its green body was engraved with stalks of Medicinal Herbs and patterns of flames, giving off an indefinably extraordinary feeling.

The existence of this cauldron seemed to trace back a hundred years, when an alchemist had been born in the Xiao family.

This cauldron had been left behind after that alchemist died. No one had used it since, and it had gathered dust here.

As he stroked the cauldron, from being so close, he could faintly smell a wisp of medicinal fragrance drifting out of the Medicine Cauldron.

He struck it hard.

Dong!

A dull, ancient sound rang on and on.

A good cauldron!

Lin Qingyun's eyes lit up. With a wave of his hand, the Medicine Cauldron vanished from where it stood.

"Dad, I'm going to cultivate."

After walking out of the warehouse, he greeted the Fourth Elder once more.

"Go on, go on!" the Fourth Elder said with a smile.

He did not choose to return to his room. Instead, he walked toward the Xiao Family Back Mountain, and soon arrived at the cliff on the Xiao Family Back Mountain that he most often visited.

This cliff was very quiet. On ordinary days, only he and Xiao Yan came here often.

The Medicine Cauldron landed, and the entire ground trembled slightly. After that, he laid out the ten portions of Medicinal Herbs he had prepared one by one.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he closed his eyes and rested his spirit for a while. Then Lin Qingyun suddenly opened his eyes.

His expression was solemn. He slowly stretched out one hand, then suddenly froze.

He still did not know how to refine pills.

"Damn, how do I start the fire again?" Lin Qingyun was stunned. His hand stiffened in midair, and he did not know what to do.

Helpless, Lin Qingyun could only take out the Taiyi Profound Pill Record and flip to the third page, trying to find the method for refining this pill in the Medicinal Herbs table.

But no matter how he tried, it all seemed the same.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the bottom of his heart.

"Try injecting a stream of Dou Qi!"

A faint, aged voice sounded in Lin Qingyun's heart.

Hearing this, Lin Qingyun lightly touched the page with his finger and poured a stream of Dou Qi into it.

In an instant, the whole page seemed to come alive. Lines of black characters, like tadpoles, swam and rose, along with those diagrams of Medicinal Herbs.

Suddenly, a Golden Light spread out from within, brilliant and dazzling. Lin Qingyun narrowed his eyes.

Only when the Golden Light was no longer piercing and had turned gentle did he open them again.

In the air before his eyes, a Scroll Painting appeared. An aged man in white sat cross-legged in the void, but his face could not be seen clearly, as if shrouded in a layer of mystery.

With a wave of the old man's hand, stalks of Medicinal Herbs rose out of thin air. His palm opened, and a wisp of Mysterious Yellow Flame rose from it.

At this scene, Lin Qingyun became serious. A faint Golden Light flickered in his eyes.

Flames surged, and under the old man's will, a stalk of Spirit Gathering Grass was thrown into the fire.

Under the old man's control, the temperature of the flames did not seem very high. The Spirit Gathering Grass did not immediately turn to ash. Instead, it kept tumbling in the flames and began to shrivel.

As it withered, drop after drop of liquid containing rich energy was forced out and hovered within the flames.

Only when no more liquid appeared from the Spirit Gathering Grass and it turned to ash did the old man move that mass of energy liquid out of the flames.

Next came the second Medicinal Herb, then the third.

When even the last Magical Beast core had been turned into liquid, the old man waved his hand, and the previous three kinds of medicinal liquid all fell back into the flames again.

Several medicinal liquids with different energy attributes seemed to be kneaded and squeezed by an unseen force, gradually blending together into a pale-blue medicinal liquid the size of a baby's fist.

But at that moment, the old man flicked his finger. The large mass of medicinal liquid instantly split into three portions, and the flames also grew fierce. Under this intense calcining, the medicinal liquid began to shrink, and bits of hardened surface began to appear.

Before long, the medicinal liquid turned into small pills with uneven surfaces.

As it entered this stage, the flames began to contract, and the rising temperature also dropped greatly.

Under this gentle heat, after roughly half an hour, the surfaces of the pills became rounded, until they were smooth.

At this point, the image came to an abrupt stop.

Lin Qingyun also came back to his senses and muttered to himself, "This method of refining pills is somewhat different from the pill-refining method of the Dou Qi Continent."

As for common knowledge about pills, everyone knew that one portion of Medicinal Herbs could only refine one pill. But the scene he had just seen overturned that traditional concept.

The pills refined were not only perfect, but the medicinal effect of each pill had not changed at all.

And from that Palm Alchemy Method, one could also glimpse something unusual. On the Dou Qi Continent, if an alchemist wanted to condense flames, they all relied on the special nature of the Medicine Cauldron to transform fire-attribute Dou Qi into flames.

But Lin Qingyun had a feeling that with the old man's pill-refining method, even if he used a Medicine Cauldron, he directly transformed fire-attribute Dou Qi into flames with his own power, rather than relying on the cauldron's special properties.

"Huu!"

Letting out a long turbid breath, Lin Qingyun shook his head, trying to make himself forget all distracting thoughts.

Refining medicine was an extremely cautious and careful process. He could not get distracted, nor could there be any mistakes.

With his current strength, he definitely could not perform the Palm Alchemy Method, and he did not expect himself to be able to do it now either.

Taking another deep breath, Lin Qingyun sat cross-legged in front of the Medicine Cauldron.

With a thought, Black Flame leaped between his palms. He flicked his finger, sending a wisp of flame into the Medicine Cauldron through a hole in the cauldron lid.

The flame spread out and instantly turned into a roaring blaze.

Strangely, even though the flames inside the cauldron burned fiercely, the cauldron body still remained somewhat cool.

Having learned about it before, Lin Qingyun also knew that some ice silver would be fused into a Medicine Cauldron, allowing it to control the temperature very well and prevent the possibility of explosions caused by excessive heat.

In the middle of the Medicine Cauldron, there was also a transparent mirror surface made from some unknown material. From here, one could clearly see everything inside while refining medicine.

However, this function seemed somewhat useless to Lin Qingyun.

Around the four sides of the Medicine Cauldron's body were four fire inlets, which meant that this Medicine Cauldron was a four-inlet cauldron.

Of course, it was still useless.

He sent a wisp of Dou Qi in from a distance to ensure the flames inside the Medicine Cauldron burned fully and for a long time. Since he himself was connected to the Chaotic Fire, even without using the mirror surface inside the Medicine Cauldron, he could sense every change within it.

With a slight movement of his will, he lifted a stalk of Spirit Gathering Grass with Dou Qi. After pausing for a moment, Lin Qingyun took a deep breath. His expression gradually turned firm, and he threw the Medicinal Herb in through the entrance on the Medicine Cauldron's lid.

As soon as the Spirit Gathering Grass entered the Medicine Cauldron, Lin Qingyun had no time to control it before the flames pounced upward. In an instant, the stalk of Spirit Gathering Grass turned into black ash, then was expelled from the cauldron by the special mechanism inside the Medicine Cauldron.

Looking at his first mistake, Lin Qingyun was stunned for a moment.

"Looks like I was arrogant." Lin Qingyun's expression was grave. With the Dragonless Heart Method's analysis, he had confidently believed that after watching it once, he could refine it successfully on his first try. But now it was clear that he had been a little too confident.

Refining pills and cultivating Fighting Skills were two completely different levels of difficulty.

Moreover, the Medicinal Herbs for the Qi Nourishing Pill were not plentiful to begin with and could not withstand such consumption.

"At least before that, I have to learn how to extract Medicinal Herbs." Lin Qingyun muttered to himself.

He put away all the Medicinal Herbs laid out on the ground, then took out some other Medicinal Herbs.

There were fruits and also herbs. These were all very cheap Medicinal Herbs used in medicine, around twenty or thirty types.

"Blood Coagulation Grass!"

Pinching the pale-red Medicinal Herb in his hand, Lin Qingyun threw it in again without hesitation. At the same time, he began suppressing the flame temperature.

This time, the Blood Coagulation Grass lasted a while longer in the flames, but it still turned into black ash.

"The temperature is a little high!"

Wiping away cold sweat, only when it was his turn to refine pills himself did Lin Qingyun realize that what had been described so simply in novels before was, in practice, simply not something humans were meant to play with.

Continue!

After burning more than ten stalks of different types of Medicinal Herbs, Lin Qingyun finally figured out some control over the temperature.

For grass-type Medicinal Herbs, the temperature had to be somewhat lower, simmering slowly over gentle heat, while fruit-type Medicinal Herbs required a fierce blaze.

Throwing in another stalk of Blood Coagulation Grass, Lin Qingyun's face was solemn. His will firmly compressed the temperature of the flames, and through the fire, he carefully sensed the state of the Blood Coagulation Grass hovering within the flames.

Under the scorching of the flames, the Blood Coagulation Grass began to wither. After tumbling for a while, the juice contained in its stems and leaves gradually emerged.

The purest portion was forced out, and the remaining stems and leaves turned to ash.

At this point, Lin Qingyun became even more careful, gradually controlling the flame temperature to its lowest and slowly baking the medicinal liquid.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Lin Qingyun felt a trace of fatigue, a bit of pale-red powder appeared in Lin Qingyun's field of vision.

"Woohoo, finally extracted it!" Lin Qingyun was somewhat excited. He wrapped that bit of powder in Dou Qi, transported it out, and placed it into a small jade bottle.

At last, Lin Qingyun propped his hands on the ground and half lay there, a trace of excitement hanging on his face.

No matter how mature and steady he was, at this moment, he truly felt a sense of accomplishment. Even when he had advanced to Dou Zhe, he had not been this excited.

"Teacher, is Brother Yun refining pills?" In the small forest, Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat complicated.

He had been standing here watching for a long time. He was very surprised, surprised that Lin Qingyun knew how to refine pills.

He also felt somewhat defeated, as if the title of genius had been taken away.

"Yes!" Medicine Elder nodded. He could sense the little fellow's trace of frustration.

Then he said, "The reason that boy Lin Qingyun knows these things should be related to his inherited memories."

"Inherited memories?" Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled and turned his head to look at Medicine Elder.

"Yes. I observed carefully..."

Then Medicine Elder began recounting what he knew.

After a full quarter hour of speaking, Xiao Yan's face was filled with shock.

"You're saying Brother Yun is a transformed Magical Beast."

"More or less!" Medicine Elder nodded.

Then he glanced at Xiao Yan and said faintly, "Magical Beasts are naturally gifted to begin with, and with inherited memories on top of that, it is like adding wings to a tiger. There is no need to compete. If you cannot compete, then do your own work well. Remember, if you want to become strong, you must pursue powerful strength, not stand in place and look at others' strength with jealous eyes."
