Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Muchen subdued the Ice Soul Saint Lion and broke through to Dou Zun Three Stars, life returned to its former tranquility. However, during this seemingly peaceful time, Mo Yunxuan noticed that Xiao Muchen was only concerned with rapidly improving his realm, but neglected the huge potential of his powerful fire in refining medicine.

On a sunny morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, like tiny golden rays of light sprinkled in the courtyard. Mo Lao stood with his hands behind his back, looking solemnly at Xiao Muchen who was practicing fighting spirit, and had a plan in mind.

After Xiao Muchen finished his training, Master Mo waved and called him over.

"Mu Chen, your strange fire is extremely precious. It would be a pity if you don't use it to refine medicine." Old Mo's eyes were deep, filled with regret and expectation.

Xiao Muchen was filled with shame, "Master, I was so focused on improving my strength before that I neglected this."

Mo Lao smiled and patted his shoulder gently. "It's okay. It's not too late to start now. Alchemy can not only refine precious pills to improve strength, but it is also a practical skill. Learning to refine pills can save lives at critical moments and can also exchange for precious resources. You have to know that in this Douqi Continent, a rare pill can often turn the tide at a critical moment, and even attract the attention and friendship of powerful people from all sides."

After that, Mr. Mo took Xiao Muchen to the alchemy room. The room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and the surrounding shelves were filled with a dazzling array of medicinal materials. Mr. Mo picked up several common medicinal materials and began to explain them in detail to Xiao Muchen.

"This is Ganoderma lucidum, which can replenish qi and blood, and is one of the basic ingredients for many elixirs. This is Blood Ginseng, which can strengthen the body, and the powerful medicinal power it contains needs to be precisely controlled. This is Purple Leaf Flower, which can harmonize the medicinal properties and make the effect of the elixir more stable and gentle..." Xiao Muchen listened attentively, taking notes in his hand, for fear of missing any details.

Mo Lao then demonstrated how to control the temperature to extract the essence of the medicinal materials. He lit the furnace skillfully, and the blue flame rose up. Then he put the carefully selected medicinal materials into the furnace, waved his hands, and mobilized his fighting spirit to control the temperature and intensity of the flame.

"The temperature is of vital importance. If the temperature is too high, the medicinal materials will turn to ashes in an instant; if the temperature is too low, it is impossible to extract the essence." Mr. Mo explained as he operated. Under his precise control, the medicinal materials gradually extracted a pure and rich essence.

It was Xiao Muchen's turn to try. With a nervous and expectant mood, he lit the furnace and put in the herbs. However, at first he couldn't control the temperature well. Either the temperature was too high, causing the herbs to burn, or the temperature was too low, causing the extraction speed to be slow. He was a little frustrated by the repeated failures, but he didn't give up. After many attempts, he finally succeeded in extracting an essence.

As time went by, Xiao Muchen made significant progress under the careful guidance of Master Mo. He was no longer satisfied with the extraction of a single herb and began to try to process multiple herbs at the same time. This was undoubtedly a huge challenge, requiring more delicate control of fighting spirit and a deep understanding of the characteristics of various herbs. He often forgot to eat and sleep in the alchemy room, constantly experimenting and adjusting.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Xiao Muchen decided to start refining the Rejuvenation Pill, a precious medicine that can help warriors recover from injuries and physical strength quickly. He came to the alchemy room and carefully selected the herbs he needed, making sure that each one was of the best quality. Then, he carefully put the herbs into the medicine cauldron and prepared to start refining.

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and concentrated on refining the medicine. His eyes were focused on the medicine cauldron, and the flame in his hand slowly rose, enveloping the herbs. As time passed, the herbs gradually melted and turned into a mass of thick liquid medicine. This process requires great patience and precision, and the slightest carelessness may lead to failure.

In the critical step of fusing the essence, Xiao Muchen was even more careful. He stared closely at the liquid medicine in the medicine cauldron, using his soul power to control their fusion speed and temperature. His forehead was gradually covered with fine beads of sweat, but he did not dare to relax at all. Finally, the liquid medicine was completely fused and formed a round pill.

At this time, Mo Lao had also been observing silently. Seeing that the pill was about to take shape, he nodded gently to show his approval. Xiao Muchen was delighted, knowing that he had succeeded halfway. The next step was the final stage of pill formation, which was also the most critical step. He concentrated again and devoted himself to refining the pill.

As the flames continued to burn, the pill gradually became hard, and the surface emitted a soft and charming light. Xiao Muchen knew that the rejuvenation pill had been refined. He caught the pill on a jade plate and carefully observed its color, smell and other characteristics. He was relieved after confirming that it was correct. The success of this pill refining made him full of confidence in the future. He believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to become an excellent pharmacist.

"I succeeded, Master!" Xiao Muchen was extremely excited, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Mo Lao took the pill, examined it carefully and said, "Yes, it is of excellent quality, but this is just the beginning. The road to refining medicine is long and arduous, and you need to keep improving."

Since then, Xiao Muchen has devoted more time and energy to studying alchemy, trying to refine more complex pills.

Once, when he was refining the Soul Gathering Pill, the energy was unbalanced during the process, and the breath in the pill furnace became extremely violent, almost causing an explosion. Xiao Muchen's heart tightened, but fortunately he quickly calmed down and adjusted the output of his fighting spirit in time to avoid a disaster. This failure made him deeply realize that he still needed to improve in terms of fighting spirit control. He began to practice fighting spirit more diligently, delved into control techniques, and often discussed and communicated with Mo Lao.

After continuous attempts and improvements, Xiao Muchen finally succeeded in refining the Soul Gathering Pill. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

In the process of refining medicine, Xiao Muchen gradually realized the charm and importance of alchemy. He had a deeper understanding of the characteristics and medicinal properties of medicinal materials, and was able to better use energy when practicing fighting spirit, making it flow more smoothly and accurately.

"Master, alchemy has been of great help in improving my strength." Xiao Muchen said to Master Mo excitedly.

Mo Lao nodded and smiled, "That's right, alchemy and cultivation complement each other. It can train your fighting spirit control and willpower. Taking pills can give you an advantage in battle and expand your network and resources. You must remember that the improvement of alchemy requires continuous practice and accumulation, and you must not rush for quick success."

Xiao Muchen nodded thoughtfully, "I will work harder to study alchemy and live up to Master's expectations."

Under the guidance of Master Mo, Xiao Muchen took a solid first step on the road of alchemy. He knew that there were countless challenges and mysteries waiting for him to explore, and he was full of confidence and looked forward to the infinite possibilities of the future.
