The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Although her qualifications as the exclusive service staff of the room prevented her from retreating, she instinctively retreated, folded her hands in front of her chest, and shrank into the corner: "Guest, although our purpose is to meet all the requirements of the guests, there are some things that are not allowed."

Looking at the woman huddled in the corner, Li Shengnan had a helpless smile on her face. She walked to the corner and helped the woman up: "We are not the wrong kind of people, and of course we won't ask you to do anything weird. We just want to ask you something."

"Ask me something? What does the guest want to ask me? It's not something like whether there is a marriage or not, right?"

Li Shengnan shook her head. She looked at the woman who was still cautious: "You...you are a disciple of Danding Sect, right?"

The woman looked at Li Shengnan in surprise: "Why do you ask that? I don't have anything that can prove that I am from Danding Sect, right?"

"Indeed, you don't have any embroidery that can prove that you are a disciple of Danding Sect, but the smell on your body tells me that you are a disciple of Danding Sect, and your status should not be low."

"Guest, what do you mean by that?"

Li Shengnan approached the woman and sniffed carefully around her: "The four herbs, Liuli Flower, Fire Jade Fruit, Blazing Flame Grass, and Light Mist Fruit, are the main ingredients, and there are three auxiliary herbs, Wind Chrysanthemum, Star Vine, and Falling Moon. It was originally a very harmonious recipe, but unfortunately, when they added Dragon Blood Ginseng, they were unwilling to add Dragon Blood Grass. In the end, the whole furnace of pills failed. Am I right?"

As Li Shengnan called out the names of the elixirs one by one, the surprise on the woman's face gradually turned into shock. She raised her arm and sniffed herself hard, trying to smell the scent of these elixirs from herself, but no matter how hard she smelled, she could only smell a faint burnt smell from herself.

Before the woman could speak, Li Shengnan continued, "You should have refined the Blazing Fire Pill. This kind of pill has only one effect, which is to increase the affinity of fire for cultivators with fire-attributed constitutions. But what I don't understand is, why did you add the Dragon Blood Ginseng when there was no Dragon Blood Grass?"

The woman immediately bowed to Li Shengnan as a disciple. After bowing, she asked Li Shengnan, "Then how should I refine this batch of elixirs?"

"Do you admit that you are a disciple of Dandingmen?" Li Shengnan did not answer the woman first. She looked at the woman and asked softly.

"Senior, I am indeed a disciple of Danding Sect, an inner disciple of Danding Sect, Sang Linglong. Please help me solve my doubts!"

"Explain? Well... First of all, tell me why you want to refine this batch of pills?"

"This furnace of elixirs is the sect's test for me. As long as I can refine this furnace of elixirs, I can be promoted from an inner disciple to a core disciple."

"Is that so?" Li Shengnan thought for a moment, thinking that she would join Danding Sect in the future. Although Sang Linglong was only an inner disciple, once she became a core disciple, she would be able to help her in Danding Sect. "First, tell me how you refined this furnace of Blazing Fire Pills."

Sang Linglong hesitated for just a moment and told Li Shengnan all the specific steps of how she refined the elixir.

After listening to the whole process of Sang Linglong's refining, Li Shengnan nodded to her: "There is almost nothing wrong with the refining process, except for some problems with the control of the fire. Under normal circumstances, as long as your furnace of pills is nurtured and ready to be made, the finished pills will have at least 70% of their efficacy. However, the sect gave you an extra dragon blood ginseng when giving you the spiritual medicine, which should be a test of your understanding of pharmacology."

"Senior, judging from the prescription, the dragon blood ginseng does not conflict with the other ingredients in the Blazing Fire Pill..."

"Dragon Blood Ginseng is extremely strong and yang, and it does not conflict with other medicinal effects. The only thing wrong is that adding Dragon Blood Ginseng to the original foundation will only forcefully increase the yang energy in the Blazing Fire Pill. This increased amount does not reach the limit of the pill, so the pill will not be full enough after the increase and will collapse on its own. So if you only want to refine the Blazing Fire Pill, then just remove the Dragon Blood Ginseng."

"Then if I want to go further, I need the dragon blood grass that the senior mentioned before?"

"Yes, but the timing of adding the dragon blood grass is not fixed. You can only know when to add it after observing the situation in the furnace during the process of refining the Blazing Fire Pill. When the fire in the furnace that refines the medicinal power reaches its peak, you can add the dragon blood grass. Then you can add the dragon blood ginseng after all the medicinal power has been refined," Li Shengnan sat on a chair and instructed Sang Linglong who was standing next to her. "After adding the dragon blood ginseng, you must immediately extinguish the fire and seal the furnace! Use the residual heat in the furnace to refine the medicinal power of the dragon blood ginseng. At this time, even the smallest fire will cause the furnace to explode!"

After listening to Li Shengnan's words, Sang Linglong stood there and kept thinking. The more she thought, the brighter her eyes became. She felt that if she could refine this batch of pills, her position as a core disciple would be secured, and her ranking could even move up.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior! I will..." Sang Linglong said this, and suddenly she thought that it was not appropriate to leave now. "Well, I will wait until you leave before returning to the sect to refine the pills."

Li Shengnan was about to say something when Zeng Wenyu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Senior sister, the third elder of Danding Sect is here."

A little old man with his hands behind his back was flying from a distance, followed by a young man who was holding a gourd in his hands and carrying a medicine basket on his back.

In the small room, Sang Linglong introduced Zeng Wenyu and the other two people: "That is the third elder of the sect, Jiang Tianfu, and next to him is his direct disciple Xu Dan."

Jiang Tianfu brought Xu Dan directly to the alchemy platform, reached out to take out the alchemy furnace from the storage ring, and placed the alchemy furnace on the open space on the alchemy platform.

"The Third Elder's alchemy furnace is called the Dragon-Tiger Harmony Furnace. It is said that when it is fully activated, it can increase the efficacy of the elixir by 20%."

Xu Dan placed a chair behind Jiang Tianfu. Jiang Tianfu sat on the chair and looked around the alchemy platform. He was obviously a little disdainful of those people who came to watch the alchemy, as if they came here to make the alchemy just to complete the sect's mission.

"The Third Elder is one of the elders in the sect who is against open alchemy. Unfortunately, this matter was agreed upon by Danding Sect and Emperor Kang of Dakang. In recent years, the sect has obtained a lot of resources because of Dancheng, and no one wants to fall out with Kangguo. However, the elders who come out to openly refine the alchemy are rather perfunctory, especially since there has been no news about Emperor Kang in recent years. The elders in the sect privately said that they are unwilling to abide by the agreement. If it weren't for the Sect Master who has been suppressing this matter..."
