Liu Wei then began to filter the essences.
Inside the Verdant Cauldron, the essences of different herbs manifested.
The Ironroot essence appeared heavy and mud, sinking into the cauldron’s floor.
The Cloudmist essence drifted upward like threads of mist.
The Fire Orchid essence sparked violently, threatening to burn away balance.
The Spring Drew essence trickled between them like water, preventing conflict.
At this point, Liu Wei’s task was to breathe in, filter the balance, and then exhale the impurities, appearing as black smoke.
Liu Wei kept inhaling and exhaling until massive changes occurred inside the Verdant Cauldron.
The Heavy Ironroot stabilized as a foundation.
Cloudmist binds into Fire Orchid sparks, forming gentle flame wisps.
The Spring Dew merged the three into a gleaming droplet of liquid essence.
Hence, three drops were formed inside the Verdant Cauldron.
They then transformed into a purified essence—an invisible vapor.
Liu Wei exhaled a long breath, guiding the purified essence back out towards the pill furnace.
The vapor within the pill furnace began to swirl unnaturally, responding to his Verdant Cauldron’s pull.
The herbs inside the pill furnace reduced to residue, leaving their true essences spinning like motes of light.
He then chanted the Verdant Sutra Incantiation silently, causing it to be inaudible.
His qi harmonized the Verdant Cauldron and the pill furnace, causing a resonance.
The latter hummed in delight, knowing it achieved resonance with its master.
Hence, it performed its task efficiently, causing the furnace within its body to condense into a pale-green embryo, shaped by its master’s rhythm of breath.
Liu Wei then performed 108 breaths of Resonance Cycle.
Each exhalation stabilized the embryo, removing its cracks.
With the final pulse, the embryo solidified into a Vitality Recovery Pill.
The lid of the pill furnace trembled before opening with a clang.
A faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Liu Wei opened his eyes and smiled brightly.
He wiped the sweat on his forehead, heaving a sigh of relief.
He gazed at the pill furnace for some time and said in a joyful tone, "Good job!"
He caressed its body as the pill furnace hummed in delight.
Liu Wei smiled and nodded.
He opened the lid and peeked through inside.
The Vitality Recovery Pill made his heart skip a beat.
It was in the shape of a bead, staying still inside.
Liu Wei reached out and grabbed it, scrutinizing its appearance.
It was exceptionally viridiscent, exuding an immense life-force.
Liu Wei did not spot any impurities at all.
On the contrary, he counted the flames on its surface, revealing its purity.
His eyes widened.
"Five flames? It’s already on the level of an Adept Alchemist!"
Adept Alchemist was able to concoct Earth Grade Pills, higher than Human Grade Pills.
Their flame level mastery must reach at least 3 levels.
Four would be an average and five would be exceptional.
Of course, it varied depending on the grade of the pills.
If an Adept Alchemist would concoct a human Grade Pills, they should have a five level flame mastery.
The fact that Liu Wei concocted a pill that was on the same level as an Adept Alchemist surprised him greatly.
His eyes shone in excitement as he said, "I really do have a talent in alchemy!"
The System snorted.
[Hump! If it was not for the books that the library provided and the herbs and pill furnace in the Alchemy Domain, you would not have been successful.]
Liu Wei rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Who are you? My mother? Let’s just be optimistic. No matter how you spoon fed me, if I’m useless, then they are all useless, then."
The System went silent and did not reply.
Liu Wei did not bother with her anymore.
Once he would act smug for making her silent, she would immediately come up with ways to mock him.
Now that Liu Wei finished concocting his first pill, storing it in the jade bottle provided by the Alchemy Domain, Liu Wei decided to concoct again.
After concocting five more Vitality Recovery Pills, Liu Wei stared at the filled jade bottle, containing six Vitality Recovery Pills.
Liu Wei was satisfied, knowing he was consistent on its flame level.
There were two four flame levels and the rest were five flame levels.
He was really on the level of an Adept Alchemist.
Unfortunately, his cultivation held him back.
He was unable to concoct Earth Grade Pills if his qi was not on the level of Foundation Establishment Stage.
Nevertheless, it was already a satisfying discovery of his talent.
Liu Wei fell into deep contemplation.
"This pill might sell more outside, but... I really don’t care about money at the moment."
After all, he recalled he still has a deal with the Crown Prince and he would be able to gain expensive clothes and quality light armor at the time.
Since he was not in need of it at the moment, he would have to put the business aside in the future.
Of course, he still has to produce more vegetables and rice by then.
"Now, what should I do with these pills?"
Liu Wei then unknowingly glanced at the sword beside his waist.
Even when he was concocting pills, his sword was still with him.
After all, the sword has developed a sentience, so it knew how to adjust by itself to not disturb him.
"I will have to battle in the future, so these pills might come in handy for me."
Liu Wei shoved the jade bottle in his pocket.
Liu Wei then realized that he really needed a cloth, like what he read in the fictional martial arts.
Where they have so many pockets, even in their shirts, to store many things that would help them in emergencies. Follow current novels on novel※fire.net
He smiled bitterly.
"I guess, I will have to focus on the business with Jin Zhaoyang."
Since the corpses he used before as fertilizer had long been used, it would take every week to harvest.
Hence, Liu Wei decided that he would trade them with the Crown Prince in two weeks.
Or it might be less depending how the transaction would proceed in the future.
