God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

In the past month, Lu Tingyan was busy with the workshop construction and the opening of Huiweizhai, and had almost no time to practice. She originally thought that her cultivation would improve due to her busy schedule, but she didn't expect that she was stuck at the peak of the second level of Qi Refining and could not break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

That night, Lu Tingyan finally had some free time. She skipped back to her room, sat down on the bed, and then entered the space, ready to start practicing. She carefully circulated the spiritual energy in her body, trying to break through the bottleneck of the third level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't succeed.

"What is going on? Why am I stuck at the peak of the second level of Qi Refining?" Lu Tingyan was full of confusion.

She suddenly remembered her system, Miaomiao, and decided to ask it.

"Miaomiao, do you know why I haven't been able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining?" Lu Tingyan asked.

"Host, your cultivation speed is already super fast. However, cultivation is a process that requires patience, so don't be impatient." Miaomiao said.

"I know that I can't be impatient when practicing, but I have been stuck at this bottleneck for a long time. Do you have any way to help me break through?" Lu Tingyan said anxiously.

"Host, what you need to break through the bottleneck is opportunity and understanding. You can try some special training methods, or look for some rare treasures, which may help you break through the bottleneck." Miaomiao said.

"Special cultivation method? Natural treasures?" Lu Tingyan's heart moved.

"That's right, host. For example, you can try to practice some high-level skills, or swallow some pills that can help improve your cultivation!" Miaomiao responded.

"High-level martial arts? Pills?" Lu Tingyan couldn't help but frown.

"I guess these rare items must be extremely difficult to obtain, right?"

"That's right, host. High-level skills and elixirs are rare treasures, and it is naturally very difficult to obtain them. However, once you are lucky enough to get them, it will definitely be of great help to your practice. In addition, host, you can actually try to refine elixirs by yourself. Lingquan is one of the best materials for refining elixirs, and it contains strands of spiritual energy." Miaomiao replied.

"Okay, I understand. Then, where should I go to find these treasures?" Lu Tingyan asked.

"Host, you might as well go to various auctions or black markets to have a look. You might be able to find what you urgently need." Miaomiao suggested.

"Auction? Black market?" Lu Tingyan couldn't help but feel excited, but she quickly calmed down.

"These places sound dangerous..." she whispered to herself.

"That's right, host. Auctions and black markets are places where filth and dirt are hidden, full of all kinds of unknown risks. And considering your current age, your parents will definitely not let you go to such places. After all, you were injured the last time you went out, and your mother was sad and cried many times... Therefore, I strongly suggest that the host try to refine the pills by himself." Miaomiao reminded.

"Okay, I understand. But the problem is that I don't have the recipe for alchemy?" Lu Tingyan asked with difficulty.

"It's okay, host. I happen to have a book called 'Star Alchemy' here, which contains many elixir recipes. You can start with some simpler ones." Miaomiao replied.

"That's great! Thank you very much, Miaomiao." Lu Tingyan said gratefully.

"You're welcome, host. This is what I should do. If you encounter any difficulties or need help during your practice, just tell me at any time." Miaomiao responded with a smile.

Lu Tingyan jumped up excitedly, but soon fell into deep thought: "Oh, it's sad that I have the recipe but no alchemy furnace." She couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Miaomiao reminded her, "Host, why don't you go to the pharmacy in the space and have a look? Maybe you can find a suitable alchemy furnace!" Lu Tingyan was overjoyed and ran away immediately. After a hard search, she finally found an old alchemy furnace. She muttered in disappointment, "This alchemy furnace is too shabby and ugly."

Miaomiao felt helpless about Lu Tingyan's attitude. If she wasn't in physical form at the moment, she would have wanted to roll her eyes at her. After all, this was the legendary Star Cauldron. How dare she dislike it!

"Host, it's great to have an alchemy furnace." Miaomiao said unhappily.

"Miaomiao, don't be angry, I just think it's really ugly." Lu Tingyan hurriedly explained.

"Okay, now that we've found the alchemy furnace, let's try the simple alchemy recipe." Miaomiao suggested.

Lu Tingyan picked up the alchemy book and flipped through it carefully. She immediately liked the recipe for the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It said that this pill could significantly improve the physique of a warrior, effectively expel impurities from the body, and make the meridians more unobstructed, thus laying a solid foundation for future practice.

Xisui Dan Dan Recipe

1. Main ingredients:

1. **Thousand-year-old Lingzhi**: You need to choose a complete and brightly colored thousand-year-old Lingzhi;

2. **Dragon Blood Vine**: Cut a piece of Dragon Blood Vine about ten centimeters long, and its skin should be dark red.

2. Auxiliary drugs:

1. **Centennial Ginseng**: -year-old ginsengs with intact roots and solid texture;

2. **He Shou Wu**: even-sized and smooth-surfaced He Shou Wu;

3. **Polygonatum**: fresh, insect-free Polygonatum sibiricum plants.

3. Medicine: 1 liter of pure and clear spiritual spring water

Lu Tingyan carefully examined the precious pill recipe in front of her, thinking to herself: "These medicinal materials are really expensive! Fortunately, I have them all on hand. I hope I can successfully refine the pill this time, otherwise it will be really heartbreaking." She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and began to prepare for refining the pill.

Lu Tingyan first carefully poured the spiritual spring water into the alchemy furnace, and then gently lit the fire. She controlled the heat and slowly heated the spiritual spring water over a low fire until it was slightly boiling. Then, she put the hundred-year-old ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonatum sibiricum into the furnace in the order listed in the recipe. After that, she adjusted the heat to medium and continued to boil these precious medicinal materials so that their essences could be fully dissolved in the spiritual spring water. This process took about an hour, during which time she needed to stir constantly to ensure that the liquid medicine was heated evenly.

Time passed by, and when the liquid medicine in the spiritual spring water gradually became thicker and exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, Lu Tingyan knew that the time was ripe. She threw the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and dragon blood vine into it without hesitation. In an instant, the entire alchemy furnace was filled with a powerful and mysterious atmosphere.

Lu Tingyan still had to carefully control the temperature, turning the flame to a slow fire, and then began to simmer slowly. She stared at the alchemy furnace intently, carefully observing every subtle change in the liquid medicine. As time passed, the medicinal power of the three main medicines gradually blended into the previous liquid medicine, interweaving and merging with each other.

Lu Tingyan dared not relax at all. She gently stirred the liquid medicine from time to time to ensure that it was evenly heated to avoid sticking to the bottom or burning. This process requires great patience and carefulness, and any negligence may lead to failure.

When the water in the liquid medicine was largely evaporated, Lu Tingyan decisively increased the furnace fire. She kept stirring, watching the liquid medicine gradually become thicker and finally condensed into a paste. At this time, she used all her spiritual power to continuously inject it into the alchemy furnace. With her efforts, the paste began to condense into a pill.

Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance came out of the alchemy furnace, and at the same time, a dazzling light shone. Lu Tingyan was delighted, knowing that this was a sign of imminent success. She quickly reduced the fire and used the residual heat to continue warming the pill for a while. Finally, round, crystal clear, and rich spiritual energy-emitting marrow cleansing pills appeared before her eyes.

"Yeah! I finally did it. I actually made three. Haha, I'm such a genius." Lu Tingyan cheered excitedly.

However, Miaomiao was muttering secretly in her heart: "Such a good cauldron, but it only produced three marrow cleansing pills. It's such a waste of so many precious herbs." But she still said: "The host is so amazing. He succeeded in one try." After all, she didn't want to dampen Lu Tingyan's enthusiasm.

"Miaomiao, then can I try to refine other kinds of pills?" Lu Tingyan asked thoughtfully.

"Host, please don't be anxious. Patience is required for everything. You might as well take a good rest and recharge your energy. It won't be too late to continue refining the elixir tomorrow." Miaomiao responded gently.

"Miaomiao, I understand. Then how should this marrow cleansing pill be used?" Lu Tingyan asked again.

"Host, the method of use is very simple, just swallow it directly. However, I suggest you only take one pill." Miaomiao answered carefully.

Lu Tingyan took a deep breath, then slowly closed her eyes and carefully put the marrow cleansing pill in her hand into her mouth. As soon as the pill entered her mouth, it quickly melted and turned into a hot torrent, rushing to every part of her body like lightning, and even every cell could feel this powerful energy.

Lu Tingyan could feel a heat current running through her body. She endured the discomfort and guided the power to flow through her meridians. As time went by, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead and her face turned red.

Suddenly, she groaned and spurted out a mouthful of blood. But then she smiled with joy, because she could feel that her meridians were more unobstructed than before, and the fatigue in her body disappeared without a trace.

"Second second, the effect of this marrow cleansing pill is amazing!" Lu Tingyan said excitedly.

"Congratulations, host. The effect of the medicine has begun to take effect. Next, you need to regulate your breathing and absorb the power of the medicine." Miaomiao reminded.

Lu Tingyan nodded, sat cross-legged, and practiced her mental skills to absorb the power of the marrow cleansing pill. During this process, she could clearly feel her strength constantly improving.
