Bai Yuan suppressed his joy and kept the matter in mind.
Training alchemists cannot be rushed. His requirement is to have fewer but better candidates. If there are no suitable candidates, he simply won't sell them.
After carefully putting away the small jade bottle, Bai Yuan began his daily routine of extracting entries and breaking down fragments. The whole process was completed in one go, and he obtained 10 fragments, earning a pill recipe.
After stretching and washing up briefly, Bai Yuan prepared to go out for something to eat.
As soon as he stepped outside, he bumped into Wuming, who had also been up all night.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Did Mr. Wuming also use the Qi-Nourishing Pill last night?"
"That's right, it works very well, increasing my cultivation speed by a full 20%. The only drawback is that the effect of one pill only lasts for about three hours."
Wuming nodded with a smile in response.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan was taken aback.
Twenty percent? He got thirty percent!
"What's wrong? You look like something's wrong?"
Wuming noticed that Bai Yuan's expression was not quite right, so he asked.
Bai Yuan told Wuming about his experience last night, and the same pill had different effects on the two of them.
Wuming simply nodded after hearing this, not finding it particularly surprising.
"It seems that the exact amount of cultivation speed this pill can increase varies from person to person, but even so, it is still very precious. Yesterday I took two pills and found that this Qi Nourishing Pill does not seem to have any toxicity, and the effect is very stable. Even after taking it many times, the effect did not show any signs of weakening, which is what really surprised me."

Chapter 27 Find me two people with clean backgrounds.
As the saying goes, every medicine has some degree of toxicity, and elixirs are no exception.
Even with purely health-preserving elixirs, a certain amount of toxicity will accumulate in the body when these elixirs are taken.
Erysipelas will be gradually absorbed and resolved by the body over time, and generally will not cause any problems.
However, if a large amount of elixirs are taken, the erysipelas will accumulate and cannot be absorbed and resolved by the body in time. Once it erupts, its harm can be far more terrible than that of ordinary poisons.
That's why there are usually some restrictions on the use of elixirs.
Another point is that the human body can develop resistance to elixirs, which means that the efficacy of the same elixir will gradually weaken with repeated use.
However, after conducting experiments yesterday, Wuming discovered that Yangqi Dan does not possess the properties of erysipelas, and the amount of drug resistance it induces is negligible.
This elixir can already be considered top-grade.
Bai Yuan was somewhat belatedly struck by this, never expecting that Wuming would praise such a mere Qi-Nourishing Pill so highly.
This is what a white-quality pill looks like. How powerful must the higher-grade pills be?
Can it allow someone to ascend to immortality and ascend to heaven on the spot?
Putting aside these far-fetched thoughts, Bai Yuan decided to fill his stomach first before ascending to immortality.
After they finished eating, Bai Yuan asked the maid, Manager Lin, where she had gone.
"Manager Lin went out early this morning with his men to purchase carriages. He has instructed that if you need anything, sir, you can simply tell us."
The maid answered honestly.
Upon hearing that Lin He had gone to prepare carriages for them, Bai Yuan stopped asking questions.
"Go and prepare some of the same herbs as yesterday. Forget about ginseng and lingzhi; I haven't finished using them yet."
"Is my lord going to refine pills?"
Upon hearing Bai Yuan's request, the maid asked timidly, seemingly somewhat frightened.
Yesterday's commotion was indeed quite significant. If it happens a few more times, the city guards will probably come knocking on our door.
Wuming and Lu couldn't help but chuckle; Bai Yuan had really scared him!
"I'll be more careful this time; yesterday's incident was just an accident."
Bai Yuan rubbed his forehead and offered a somewhat embarrassed explanation.
The maid didn't dare say anything after hearing this, bowed slightly, and then went to prepare the medicine for him.
Before finding a suitable replacement, Bai Yuan decided to refine some pills himself first.
After they leave Daliang and head to Xiaoshengxianzhuang, they won't have the opportunity to refine pills for a while.
This time, Bai Yuan calculated his internal energy carefully. After refining the first batch of pills, he sat in meditation for half an hour to regulate his breathing and recover his internal energy. Once he had recovered enough, he began refining the second batch.
In one day, he refined three batches of pills, obtaining a total of thirty Qi-Nourishing Pills, enough for him to use for half a month.
After spending a day in the alchemy room, Bai Yuan was covered in sweat.
He had hot water prepared and took a comfortable bath in his room.
By the time he came out, it was already dark.
Just then, Lin He returned from outside and happened to bump into him.
Seeing that he seemed somewhat dejected, Bai Yuan frowned slightly, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
"Manager Lin, what's wrong? Didn't you go to buy a carriage today?"
林和
Hearing Bai Yuan's voice, he lowered his head and said, "My lord, I did go to buy carriages today, but something went wrong."
"Tell me."
"I visited several horse dealers today, but none of them were willing to sell me a horse. These dealers said they had been warned that they could not sell the horses they had."
Lin He told Bai Yuan about what had happened to him that day with a bitter face.
"warn?"
Hearing this, Bai Yuan felt somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, because of the recent assassination of Wei ministers by Hei Bai Xuan Jian, the war on the front lines in Wei has become increasingly tense. The King of Wei has ordered strict control over the sale of horses. Most of the horses owned by those horse merchants have been requisitioned by Wei and are to be sent to the front lines for support."
Lin explained the current situation to him in detail.
Bai Yuan frowned. He hadn't expected that simply getting a carriage to go to Xiaoshengxianzhuang would be so difficult.
Seeing Bai Yuan's expression, Lin He knew he was displeased, so he forced himself to say, "Please give me a few more days, my lord. I will get a carriage as soon as possible and send you out of the city!"
Bai Yuan waved his hand.
"Fine, I'll just take a few more days off. You get on with it!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Lin He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Yuan say that.
Bai Yuan didn't really want to urge them, since it involved the State of Wei and the King of Wei. Lin He was just a small shopkeeper, and even with the backing of the Daoist school, he couldn't defy the laws of the State of Wei.
Since he was going to stay for a few more days, he thought about finding a suitable "tool" for him.
After staring at Lin He for a long time, he said to him with the attitude of "if you don't trust someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them": "I originally intended to have you sell Qi Nourishing Pills, but as you know, I will be leaving soon and I won't be able to spare that much time to refine pills. The supply of pills will become a problem, so I want to train one or two alchemists to refine these Qi Nourishing Pills."
Lin He's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected that Bai Yuan would entrust him with such an important task after his previous poor performance. He secretly pinched himself to calm down.
"What does the Lord mean?"
"I want you to find me two people with clean backgrounds, impeccable character, and who are absolutely trustworthy."
Bai Yuan didn't beat around the bush and stated his request directly.
Lin He lowered his head, his eyes darting left and right, carefully considering what kind of person would meet Bai Yuan's criteria.
This means we need two people like him, who are willing to serve Bai Yuan as their master and are utterly loyal!
However, it's easy to see that such an important formula must be handled with utmost care; if it were leaked, the consequences would be dire.
Having understood Bai Yuan's request, Lin He lowered his head and agreed, "I will find the person as soon as possible!"
Bai Yuan shook his head: "There's no need for you to hurry. My requirement for this person is to have none but the best. The person you find must be absolutely loyal."
"I understand! I will definitely keep a strict eye on it!"
Lin He nodded quickly.
"Yes, if you do this well, I won't treat you unfairly." Bai Yuan patted Lin He on the shoulder. "I'm very generous to my own people."
Lin He understood another layer of meaning in Bai Yuan's words.
They're very generous to their own people, but what about those who aren't?
Clearly, he has not yet fully gained Bai Yuan's trust and cannot be considered one of his confidants. Sending him to find someone this time is probably a test from Bai Yuan, which will determine whether he will be given important responsibilities by Bai Yuan in the future.
"I will do my utmost to handle this matter well!"
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing!"
Bai Yuan nodded slightly, dismissing the other party.
As soon as Manager Lin left, he suddenly heard the nameless voice in his ear.
"I said yesterday that Manager Lin was capable, and I was right!"
Bai Yuan turned his head and saw Wuming leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed.
The expression on his face held a hint of mockery.
This was clearly a jab at Bai Yuan's comment from yesterday that "it's insignificant."
Bai Yuan helplessly shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. He's the only one we can use right now. Let's just treat this as a test. I also want to see how capable Lin He is."

Did he learn some strange sword technique in Chapter 28?
In a private residence in Daliang City, even though it was broad daylight outside, something was used to block the windows and block out the sunlight.
