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

Most of the people who came to watch Dan Ruoruo making pills were people who had seen it many times. They basically all knew Ning Ruoshui. Even if there were newcomers who didn't know her, they all knew to follow the main group to get them. And since Dan Ruoruo provided the fasting pills at her own expense, naturally no one made a fuss.

Those who went to collect the fasting pills were all the monks on the stands next to the pill platform. The monks in the attic naturally disdained to collect the fasting pills. They all had their own channels. Not to mention half a month, even if another half a month came, they would still be able to eat and sleep well in the small private room in the attic.

After seeing that everyone received a bottle of fasting pill and making sure that no one else would come to claim one, Dan Ruoruo began to process the spiritual herbs she had taken out of her storage ring.

"Soul flower, consciousness-raising grass, soul-dropping fruit..." Every time Dan Ruoruo dealt with something, Li Shengnan would whisper the name of the spiritual herb. There were more than a dozen kinds of spiritual herbs, and Li Shengnan recognized them all. "The most important one is the mind-condensing liquid. Every spiritual herb is of the best quality, at least one with a medicinal power of 200 years. Even the mind-condensing liquid is of the best quality, crystal clear, without a trace of foreign matter."

Li Shengnan was not surprised at all that Dan Ruoruo was able to process these spiritual herbs perfectly. If she couldn't do that, Dan Ruoruo wouldn't be called the best alchemist in Danding Sect. She just lamented that Danding Sect had abundant resources. These spiritual herbs with medicinal properties of more than 200 years were the most precious medicinal materials in some small and medium-sized sects, and they would usually not be willing to take them out.

Without time to think more, Li Shengnan saw that Dan Ruoruo put all the herbs into the alchemy furnace. This surprised her. Although these herbs complement each other, even if she were to refine them, she would have to pay attention to the order. How could she just throw all these herbs into the alchemy furnace at once?

Unlike the third elder before, Dan Ruoruo did not seal the alchemy furnace. She covered the furnace with powerful spiritual energy, replacing the lid of the furnace with the spiritual energy. Then she made a hand gesture with her right hand, and several light curtains appeared above the furnace, showing everyone the situation inside the furnace.

"This is the technique that the deputy headmaster developed after knowing that the headmaster and Emperor Kang had signed a public alchemy contract. The purpose is to display everything in the alchemy furnace in front of the monks watching, so that they can better understand the changes in the alchemy furnace."

After Sang Linglong finished explaining, the people in the small private room looked at Dan Ruoruo with admiration on their faces. This was true teaching, which was much better than the previous Third Elder who was so proud of himself.

Dan Ruoruo pointed her left hand towards the alchemy furnace, and alchemy fire rose from the furnace, as if the furnace had its own flame, but everyone knew that it was Dan Ruoruo's own alchemy fire.

The fire burning in the alchemy furnace seemed to have no heat, and no heat waves dissipated from the furnace. Those who really understood alchemy knew that Dan Ruoruo's control over the fire had reached an extremely strong level. The heat of the flame was completely controlled in the furnace, without any waste.

The alchemy fire in the alchemy furnace dispersed, and from the light curtain, one could see that, except for the Mind-Concentrating Liquid, there were alchemy fires burning under the other dozen or so medicinal materials. Some of these alchemy fires were fierce, while some were just weakly scorching. However, each medicinal material was releasing its medicinal power under the alchemy fire, and finally was wrapped by Dan Ruoruo's spiritual power and attached to the Mind-Concentrating Liquid in the center.

This stage lasted for a long time, and Dan Ruoruo kept explaining and adjusting the fire intensity of each medicinal ingredient, when to use high fire, when to use low fire, and when to start adjusting when the medicinal ingredient becomes what. Dan Ruoruo explained everything in great detail and even told the viewers how to judge.

The people below listened very attentively. Naturally, no one cared that a long time had passed. Even Li Shengnan listened carefully. She kept nodding her head, and sometimes had a thoughtful expression. It seemed that she was also learning from Dan Ruoruo's explanation.

The medicinal power of all the herbs in the alchemy furnace has been released, and all of that power has gathered in the center of the mind-concentrating liquid. The mind-concentrating liquid, which was originally like water, began to become viscous due to the penetration of the medicinal power, but when viewed from the light curtain, the mind-concentrating liquid was still crystal clear.

After burning the ashes of the medicinal materials, the surrounding pill fire began to gather under the mind-concentrating liquid. Dan Ruoruo baked the mind-concentrating liquid with a low fire, and the viscous mind-concentrating liquid slowly boiled. One could see the flowing medicinal power in the mind-concentrating liquid gradually beginning to merge, and the mind-concentrating liquid began to shrink, gradually splitting into the shape of ten pills, and then the pills began to solidify into shape.

Unlike the smooth-surfaced pills that you usually see, the ten pills reflected on the light curtain have very rough surfaces, just like mud balls that children have just made out of clay. They don't look like pills at all.

However, the people watching were not surprised at all. They had seen this scene many times. Even those who did not know how to make pills and were just there to join in the fun knew that this was the prototype of the pill, not its final appearance.

"The next step is to nourish the elixir. How much medicinal power the elixir will eventually have and what kind of elixir it will become, refining the elixir and nourishing the elixir are equally important. Next, I will show you my hand seals for nourishing the elixir bit by bit. You can learn as much as you can."

Dan Ruoruo seemed to have given up hope that anyone could learn her hand seals, but she still showed her hand seals to everyone little by little.

Seeing Dan Ruoruo's hand prints on the stage, Li Shengnan didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking about something. Instead, Zeng Wenyu was surprised. Some of these hand prints looked very familiar to him. They were the hand prints he often saw on the clay statues in temples or Taoist temples before he came here!

There was nothing special when I saw it on the clay statue before, but now as Dan Ruoruo on the stage made hand prints, those hand prints seemed to have a mysterious aura, as if her hand prints conformed to the rules of Tianyi Continent.

Dan Ruoruo made a total of 365 hand seals to contain the elixir. Although it seemed that she was making the hand seals very slowly, in fact, in order not to affect the elixir in the alchemy furnace, she was not that slow. After making 365 hand seals, she placed the alchemy furnace on the table, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then looked around with anticipation.

Why was she looking forward to it? Because this was the last time that Dan Ruoruo would make pills here, and she really wanted to see someone really learn her hand seals. But in the end, she still showed a helpless expression on her face. Among the people who could see it, except for her direct disciple Ning Ruoshui, the others still had confused faces, even if they were also making hand seals with their hands, their faces were all blank.
