Chapter 3 Refining the elixir
Arriving at the place where the clan leader Xiao Zhan lived, Xiao Jue knocked on the door and said, "Clan leader, I am Xiao Jue."

"come in."

"Crench!"

After Xiao Jue pushed the door open and walked in, Xiao Zhan, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, looked at him, frowned, and asked, "Xiao Jue, why did you dye your hair again?"

"This hair thing is a long story, so I won't go into it for now."

Xiao Jue said, "Clan leader, I just obtained a set of Xuan-level advanced wind-attribute fighting skills, and I plan to donate them to the clan."

"Crack!" The teacup in Xiao Zhan's hand suddenly turned into a cloud of powder. He stood up suddenly and looked at the two scrolls in Xiao Jue's hands in shock.

"Are you serious?!" Xiao Zhan asked excitedly, "Where did you get this martial arts technique?"

Xiao Jue handed over the two scrolls in his hand and said with a smile: "Chief, this martial arts fighting technique is definitely real, but I'm a little short of money recently. I need 10,000 gold coins."

"Ten thousand gold coins?" Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow as he flipped through the martial arts and fighting skills in his hand. He said, "This set of martial arts and fighting skills is worth at least several hundred thousand gold coins. Giving you ten thousand gold coins is a bit unfair."

"It's okay, ten thousand gold coins are enough." Xiao Jue didn't ask for more, as long as it was enough for him to buy medicinal herbs.

Once he can refine pills, he can sell them to make money. The first-grade pills he refines must be sold in the Xiao family market.

"Okay then." Xiao Zhan nodded and patted Xiao Jue's shoulder cautiously. "I won't ask where this fighting technique came from if you don't tell me. The family will remember your contribution."

He took out two gold cards from his storage ring and handed them to Xiao Jue, saying, "There are 10,000 gold coins in each of these two gold cards. If you don't have enough, come back to me."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded and left in a hurry with the gold card.

Xiao Zhan watched Xiao Jue's hurriedly departing figure and whispered, "Has he been accepted as a disciple by a powerful being? He can easily teach high-level Xuan-level martial arts and fighting skills. He must be a Douhuang powerhouse, but he shouldn't be one of the ten most powerful people in the Jiama Empire."

"It's a pity that Yan'er has such a low talent... Otherwise, he would have become a disciple of some powerful person by now."

Xiao Jue put the gold card back into the ring, left the Xiao family and went to the medicine store in Wutan City. He did not hide his identity, so he would not be targeted and attacked in Wutan City.

The clerk saw Xiao Jue come in and asked, "What herbs do you want?"

"I want to buy some medicinal herbs." Xiao Jue handed over both gold cards. "I want fifty hemostatic herbs, fifty..."

He asked for the medicinal materials for fifty hemostatic pills and fifty strength-accumulating pills, all of which were first-grade medicinal materials.

The price of medicinal materials for first-grade elixirs is not low. Most first-grade elixirs require four medicinal materials. The price of one medicinal material is fifty gold coins, and one portion of medicinal materials is about two hundred gold coins.

The clerk was a little surprised and said hurriedly, "Please wait a moment, I'll call the boss over."

After he called over the boss, an old man in yellow, he said with a smile, "Isn't this Young Master Xiao Jue from the Xiao family? You are buying these medicinal herbs..."

The old man in yellow is a big drug dealer in Wutan City, and he owns several herbal medicine stores.

Xiao Jue smiled and said, "Boss Wang, I recently found a teacher who wants to teach me the art of alchemy." "Congratulations," the yellow-robed old man said with a smile, "I'll prepare the herbs for Master Xiao Jue right away. They'll be needed for fifty Hemostatic Pills and fifty Power-Accumulating Pills, for twenty-eight thousand gold coins. I congratulate Master Xiao Jue in advance on becoming an alchemist. These eight hundred gold coins are for you."

Hemostatic Pills and Strength-Storing Pills are very common first-grade elixirs. Although the recipes are not circulated, most people know the medicinal materials needed to refine these two types of elixirs.

"Thank you, Boss Wang."

Soon after, the herbs were ready. Xiao Jue left the gold card and put all the herbs into the Yin-Yang Ring.

Watching Xiao Jue leave, the yellow-robed old man, Boss Wang, couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "It seems that the Xiao family, this dragon that crossed the river, will not stay in Wutan City after all."

The Xiao family came to Wutan City more than ten years ago, but now with the emergence of a genius like Xiao Jue, there may be a chance for them to return to the imperial capital in the future.

After returning home, Xiao Jue hung a sign on the door with the words "Do Not Disturb" written on it. Then he went back to his room, took out the Yin-Yang Jue which contained the advanced Xuan-level skills, and began to practice the skills.

An hour later, Xiao Jue successfully switched to practicing the Xuan-level advanced martial arts. The quality of the Dou Qi in his body became much more condensed, and even the speed of absorbing Dou Qi became faster.

After briefly trying out the speed of the Xuan-level advanced skills, Xiao Jue took out the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

After absorbing the blood essence of the Yin-Yang Saint, Xiao Jue felt that his strength and soul power had been enhanced. He was sure that he did not have wood-attribute fighting spirit, but with the Yin-Yang dual flames, he could also refine pills.

Injecting the Yang Fire of the Yin and Yang Dual Flames into the Yin and Yang Cauldron, Xiao Jue threw a hemostatic herb into it, which was instantly burned to nothingness, leaving no ashes.

Xiao Jue lowered the temperature of the flame and threw in another hemostatic herb. This time, the hemostatic herb lasted a little longer in the flame and turned into ashes instead of being burned to nothingness.

“The temperature isn’t much higher.”

Xiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief and continued to add hemostatic grass to adjust the temperature. After burning more than ten hemostatic grasses unremittingly, he finally made the temperature of the yang fire reach the temperature adaptation point of the hemostatic grass.

The flame temperature cannot differ by even a fraction, otherwise it will fail. But as long as you practice a few more times and gain experience, you will not fail again.

After tumbling in the flames for a while, the hemostatic grass finally began to gradually shed its sod. The juice contained in the leaves was also smoked into a little bit of pale white powder, and the essential medicinal power of the hemostatic grass was successfully extracted.

Various materials have different resistance to temperature, so if you want to refine pills, you must learn to control the temperature of the flame at any point in the cauldron at will.

Where low temperature is required, the flame must be suppressed. Where high temperature is required, the suppression must be released to increase the flame temperature.

Xiao Jue took out the hemostatic grass powder and put it into a jade bottle, then put another kind of medicinal material into the Yin-Yang Cauldron and slightly increased the flame temperature.

With the experience of previous failure, Xiao Jue roughly controlled the different temperatures of the flame, and this time he succeeded in extracting a liquid medicine.

After taking out the medicinal liquid and placing it in a jade bottle, Xiao Jue then extracted the remaining two medicinal materials in turn. After failing several times, he finally succeeded.

Looking at the four portions of medicinal essence in front of him, Xiao Jue first poured the white powder of the hemostatic grass and the medicinal liquid into the Yin-Yang Cauldron, controlling the temperature of the flame, and the white powder melted into the medicinal liquid. Then he gradually poured in the remaining two portions of medicinal materials, gradually condensing them into a pill.

"It seems that my talent is still quite good." Xiao Jue laughed out loud, but his joy turned into sorrow. The temperature of the flame soared, and the hemostatic pill that was about to be successfully refined was burned into ashes.
