Chapter 35
She is not sure yet on how much he knows about medicine. Basing on her observation so far, the old man is very knowledgeable and have strong pa.s.sion when related to it.
Any doctor can learn medicine and acupuncture. The once that can make pills too are scarce. Since that is the case, even royals treat them with respect.
Aside from the pill formula is not always available, talent with cultivation is also needed. The higher your degree is the higher your pill level will be.
For Xiao Jun, ff he does not know how to refine a pill, but he can condense enough spiritual energy, that is enough for her.
"Master, refining pill can be very dangerous," Xiao Jun, tried to refine pills before since his cultivation is relatively high for mortal domain.
After multiple attempts though, he was not able to finish the last step. The furnace will eventually explode, or the pills will be burnt.
The difficulty is too high for him before when he is at his peak. What more now
"True. If you do not know what you are doing." The materials that she has right now are not the best for refining, but it will suffice for stage one pills.
If Xiao Jun end up, making the furnace explode, Feng Ji will just have to eat the fire. That is also the case if he burnt herbs.
She will be with him anyway to guide. What could go wrong?
"Do you know how to?" She curiously asked. If he has tried to pill refine before, this will save them all time.
Truthfully answering, "I have tried before master, but I was never successful…"
He is an old man. If the master wants him to refine pills, there is no reason really to refuse.
Frowning, "Stop calling me master. You can call me miss or young miss." Being called master sound strange to her, "What stage where you not able to finish?"
"The last stage young miss." Whenever he is at the final stage of fill refinement, wherein all the herbs are supposed to hold together to form the pills, his spiritual energy starts to break, and he was not able to consistently support the form. Then it burns or explodes.
When the spiritual energy is not consistently supplied on the final stage, or the refiner's concentration was bothered, then the pill will not form. It is also possible that the flame is not enough to form the pill.
On her previous life, she has the best resources and guides for pill refinement. The errors are non-existent for stage one to three stage pills.
"We will manage." Though what's available now is not the very best, it's not the worse either.
Continuing, "Rest for today. We will start tomorrow." She does not plan to make Xiao Jun start refining so soon.
The poison still needs to be completely removed. "Take this every night to stop the poison from spreading before its completely removed." She handed him a jade bottle containing a liquid medicine.
Taking the bottle and retiring for the night, he did not sleep soon but try to prepare for refining pill the next day.
