Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

A large courtyard filled with the aroma of medicine. There are many herbs drying in the air, and the air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Lin Ziyu looked at his younger brother Lin Zilu with confusion and asked curiously, "Why did you bring me here?" He really didn't understand why he was brought to this place.

Lin Zilu smiled mysteriously and said, "Fifth Grandpa lives here." After that, he took Lin Ziyu into the yard.

Entering the courtyard, Lin Ziyu saw a white-haired old man sitting on a chair fiddling with some herbs. The old man looked energetic, with wisdom in his eyes.

Lin Zilu called out respectfully, "Hello, Grandpa Fu'an! Excuse me, where is my Fifth Grandpa now? He asked my Sixth Brother to come and look for him."

Li Yuchen and Lin Ziyu greeted the old man like Lin Zilu did: "Hello, Grandpa Fu'an."

Hearing Lin Zilu's voice, the old man who was pounding medicine slowly raised his head, looked at the two of them, and a kind smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Young Master Zilu and Young Master Yuchen are here." He looked at Lin Ziyu and said, "I think this is Young Master Ziyu, just like the Third Master when he was young." He smiled and continued, "The Fifth Master is in the backyard. The Fifth Master has instructed you to go directly to the backyard to find him if you come."

"Grandpa Fu'an! Let's go find Fifth Grandpa." Lin Zilu said with a smile, then pulled Lin Ziyu to the backyard.

Lin Zilu took them to a small house first and took out three small medicine hoes.

"Here, one for each person. Come to Fifth Grandpa's place to weed the medicinal fields." Lin Zilu said without waiting for Lin Ziyu to ask.

Lin Zilu and the others arrived at the backyard, a vast area divided into countless small plots where a wide variety of medicinal herbs were planted. Common herbs included ephedra, perilla, schizonepeta, siler, angelica dahurica, scutellaria baicalensis, ginger, cilantro, and rue. Lin Ziyu, Lin Zilu, and Li Yuchen wandered through the herb fields for a long time before they spotted a middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to Grandpa. Lin Zilu, holding Lin Ziyu in hand, and Li Yuchen following, hurried forward, bowing and saying, "Fifth Grandpa, we're here." The man raised his head, smiling at them, a subtle glint in his eyes.

Fifth Grandpa looked at Lin Ziyu and said slowly: "Zilu, Yuchen, Ziyu, now that you are here, help Fifth Grandpa to take care of the medicinal fields on this land."

The three nodded, "Okay, Fifth Grandpa."

While working, Lin Ziyu thought to himself that this person must be the famous ninth-level alchemist Lin Yaochen. He feels just like his grandfather, amiable and approachable.

"Zi Yu, do you know what medicinal herbs are grown here?" Lin Yaochen suddenly asked.

"This is purple salvia miltiorrhiza, a very precious herb, and the main ingredient in refining Huiling Pill. Purple salvia miltiorrhiza prefers a warm, humid environment with plenty of light, and cannot tolerate low temperatures." Lin Ziyu replied.

Lin Yaochen nodded, then asked, "What's next to this?"

Lin Ziyu replied, "It's Polygonatum sibiricum, the compress for the Huiling Pill. Polygonatum sibiricum has a long growth period, consisting of a growing period and a flowering period."

Then they asked, and one answered. Lin Yaochen's smile grew wider and wider. He thought of Lin Ziyu, at such a young age, and yet he had already mastered the medicinal properties of such a herb. He felt very proud. This was the next generation of the Lin family's alchemy master.

Li Yuchen and Lin Ziyu beside him couldn't help but admire Lin Ziyu after hearing this. They didn't remember so many medicinal properties of herbs.

Lin Yaochen had a faint smile on his face and said, "Come on, follow me." After that, he took Lin Ziyu and the other three to his own alchemy room.

Lin Ziyu walked in and saw a large medicine furnace in the center of Fifth Grandpa's medicine room. Surrounding it were neatly arranged medicine cabinets, which contained various precious medicinal materials.

Lin Yaochen said, "I'm going to refine a batch of pills now. You guys just watch from the side."

Lin Ziyu, Lin Zilu and Li Yuchen nodded.

Lin Yaochen took a deep breath, placed his hands gently on the alchemy furnace, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body.

As his mind moved, a faint stream of spiritual energy flowed from his palm and slowly poured into the alchemy furnace. He carefully controlled the flow of spiritual energy, distributing it evenly within the furnace. Then, he opened the lid of the furnace and placed some medicinal herbs inside.

Then, he once again mobilized his spiritual energy, transforming it into flames that enveloped the base of the furnace. The flames burned fiercely, but not fiercely, heating the medicinal materials in the furnace just right. He carefully observed the changes in the medicinal materials, adjusting the temperature and intensity of the flames as needed.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Yaochen maintained a high level of focus and precise control. He constantly adjusted his spiritual energy output to ensure the smooth progress of the pill refining. At the same time, he also paid attention to his spiritual energy consumption and used clever techniques and methods to reduce it.

After a period of refining, the elixir was finally successfully refined. Lin Yaochen gently opened the cauldron and took out seven crystal-clear elixirs, which exuded a rich medicinal fragrance. He smiled and said to the crowd, "This is the elixir I just refined. You three can come and take a look."

Lin Zilu stepped forward to take the pill, examining it carefully. They marveled at Fifth Grandpa's exquisite alchemy skills and precise control of his spiritual energy. Lin Zilu and Li Yuchen didn't notice that Lin Ziyu stood there motionless. Lin Yaochen, observing Lin Ziyu's state, seemed lost in thought. He calmly explained the techniques and methods he used in alchemy, as well as how to reduce spiritual energy consumption. He also shared some of his experiences and insights, hoping to help them better master alchemy techniques.

Lin Ziyu stood quietly by, carefully observing Fifth Grandpa's refining process. He was completely focused, not missing a single detail, as if the entire world was filled with only the alchemy furnace and Fifth Grandpa's figure.

He watched as Fifth Grandpa expertly controlled the flames, placing the herbs into the furnace one by one. Each placement was so precise and just the right amount. Lin Ziyu secretly admired him, while also reflecting on the feeling he had while refining the medicine himself.

He recalled his own experience refining pills, his control of the heat, his understanding of the medicinal materials, and his perception of the changes within the furnace. He realized that he still had a lot to learn and improve in these areas.

As time went by, Fifth Grandpa's refining work gradually drew to a close. Finally, he opened the furnace and took out a round and smooth pill. A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Ziyu's eyes, and he knew that the pill had been successfully refined.
