Some sudden and strange thoughts are good enough to overthrow the original elixir theorem, and they are 100% correct!
Ximen Qianxue sighed and looked at Ding Hao seriously. She said,
Since you don’t want to tell me why then I won’t ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
Ding Hao was relieved in his heart.
If Ximen Qianxue really got to the bottom of it, or if she reported this matter to the top management, he really couldn’t explain it. What he had painted on the booklet was just because he was having an intense discussion with the Saber Master.
However, Ximen Qianxue’s talent was really good, even the Saber Master praised her profusely.
However, it can’t be solved like this,
Ximen Qianxue suddenly showed a naughty smile. She went to the door of the wooden house, and waved her hand, saying,
I have several unsolved problems. Ding Hao, If you can help me solve them, then I will keep the secret for you.
This charming smile hit the heart of Ding Hao, the virgin.
Ding Hao followed Ximen Qianxue, stepping into that wooden house.
The decoration inside the cabin was very simple. It looked like a lattice shop. There were all kinds of square lattice on the walls except for a few bunches of flowers. Inside the lattices were all kinds of medicine pots and flower pots. There was a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.
This was the main hall.
There was a small corridor on the right side, leading to another small room.
There was an elegant white curtain in front of the door.
Ding Hao guessed that it should be Ximen Qianxue’s boudoir.
This room layout was the most typical arrangement of an elixir Pharmacist’s living room.
Ximen Qianxue walked gracefully to the half-meter high wooden table in the middle of the room; she spread a piece of rice paper, then picked up a writing brush. She wrote down something while she was thinking. She looked elegant, quiet, and beautiful. She quickly finished, looked up and waved at Ding Hao.
What a beautiful calligraphy.
Ding Hao sighed and read carefully.
That was a prescription for medicinal herbs, which was written with fifteen kinds of materials. The first twelve materials were marked with clear weight and when they should be thrown into the furnace, but there was a question mark on the last three herbs.
Ding Hao looked at the prescription, his face showing a smile.
He had just discussed with the Saber Master about this prescription. That was a formula of a ninth-level elixir, the ‘Qi-Drawing Pill’. As the meaning of its name, ‘Qi-Drawing Pills’ were used to stimulate the meridians of those new martial artists, helping them practice with Qi. At the beginning of one’s cultivation, a Martial Artist successfully practiced Qi with the help of this elixir.
This prescription should be very valuable.
It was a pity that the ‘Qi-Drawing Pill ‘ refined by the Snow Province’s elixir pharmacists had an extremely fatal defect. It had a side effect. The potential of those who used the pills was reduced. Besides, their cultivation progress was more difficult, compared to the martial artists who did not use those elixirs.
This defect lowered many people’s expectations.
In addition to those who thought they were not able to practice Qi by themselves, few people took the initiative to choose this elixir to practice Qi on their own.
This defect also made the ‘Qi-Drawing Pill’ become useless.
In the past hundreds of years, there had been countless high ranked pharmacists of the Snow Province who had tried to improve this prescription, but they ended in failure. The master Chen Nanchao, who was known as the Snow King of Elixir, asserted that the formula of this prescription was simply set in a wrong direction, and there was no possibility of improvement.
Ding Hao looked up at Ximen Qianxue. He did not expect her to take out such a useless prescription and asked for his help.
Ding Hao thought she was testing him.
However, Ximen Qianxue was really excellent. She had made some improvements.
In the eyes of Ding Hao, the improved formula she wrote, although she only relied on her own guesses, she really found the right direction. The original ‘Qi-Drawing Pill’ had twelve herbs. The last three herbs she added, although she was unable to indicate the weight and when to put them in, were indeed the three necessary herbs for the improvement of the ‘Qi-Drawing Pill’.
Why Ding Hao was so assured was because the Saber Master had taught him the real perfect prescription.
Ximen Qianxue’s beautiful eyes were shining. She looked at Ding Hao with great expectation.
Ding Hao thought for a moment and gradually got a clear idea of a plan in his mind, so he took the writing brush at once and wrote the correct weight of the last three herbs, and also adjusted the order of the medicines…
Looking at Ding Hao’s skillful and unrestrained movements, Ximen Qianxue’s eyes lit up.
Sure enough, his painting on the booklet was not meaningless.
However, when she saw what Ding Hao wrote, she felt confused.
She had tried this kind of weight and sequence before, but she had failed… eh? He adjusted the weight and order of the previous twelve herbs, plus a new herb, which was a three-year
Night Dace Weed
… A ‘Night Dace Weed ‘ was a mild negative neutralizing powder, containing dark poison and it was harmful to the human body. Why… was it…?
Looking at it, Ximen Qianxue suddenly remembered something. She always looked calm, but now she looked very excited.
She seemed to understand something.
Thud!
Ding Hao threw the writing brush on the table and smiled,
Teacher Qianxue, I have some casual thoughts, do you want to try now?
He wrote a perfect formula for the Qi-Drawing Pill.
Ding Hao had his reasons to write the perfect formula. He wanted to see Ximen Qianxue’s process of refining elixirs. After all, the Saber Master was knowledgable, but he could not demonstrate, and Ximen Qianxue, known as the elixir genius, was a good teacher for him to learn how to refine elixirs.
Good.
Ximen Qianxue readily agreed to Ding Hao’s proposal.
It could be seen that the beautiful teacher was very obsessed with medicinal herbs. She was completely mad for elixirs. No wonder she could become an elixir pharmacist who was valued by the whole Sect when she was so young.
As her jade-like hand flipped, a light red Elixir Furnace appeared in her hand, whirling.
Ding Hao’s eyes lit up.
An Elixir Furnace!
This was what an elixir pharmacist lived for!
In addition to his own experience, knowledge, and Qi, the strength of a Dan Pharmacist was also judged by the rank of their Elixir Furnace.
