Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Several hours passed, and Lady Green Snake was still not well. Xue Tianhan even dozed off, and of course Xiao Qi was also dozing off beside her.

"Hey, wake up." Seeing that the two were about to fall off the stool, Hu Meiniang hurriedly woke them up.

"Is it done?" Xue Tianhan asked, wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth. He was watching here, partly to see how the formation was carved, and partly to refine the elixir. However, the carving of the formation was too complicated, which made him sleepy.

"It's almost done. There are a few recipes for common elixirs in the back of this alchemy manual. You can try refining them later. Oh, and I need you to provide some herbs, young master," Hu Meiniang replied. Although she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she didn't have some common spiritual herbs. Plus, it was nighttime, and she couldn't go out to get the herbs, so she had to ask Xue Tianhan for them.

Xue Tianhan took a look and found only a few herbs that were less than a hundred years old, so he quickly took them out.

Hu Meiniang also took out a few magical herbs, and together, they made exactly two doses. Even if the first attempt failed, there was always a chance to try again.

"Sister Mei, what kind of elixir are you planning to refine?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.

"Try the simplest Qi Gathering Pill first."

As she was talking, Lady Green Snake finished carving the formation, and the alchemy furnace looked even more mysterious than before.

"Finally, it's done. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Madam Green Snake's attainments in formations were not low, but this Bagua formation was quite complicated, and it took her longer than she had budgeted to finish carving it.

"Then Sister Qing, you take a rest first. I have prepared the materials for the Qi Gathering Pill. Let me practice first. Can you lend me your spiritual fire?" Hu Meiniang helped Lady Green Snake up, eager to try.

"Okay, here you go."

"Hey, I never thought that one day I would have the opportunity to make pills." Hu Meiniang took the spiritual fire, and then put all the medicinal materials prepared in advance into the alchemy furnace.

Then, she activated the newly carved formation according to the steps in alchemy, and saw the alchemy furnace moving like an assembly line workshop.

"Very good, Sister Qing did a great job, there is no problem with the formation." Hu Meiniang praised.

As long as there is no problem with the formation, the rest will be easy. After all, the most difficult part of "Eight Trigrams Pill Condensation Technique" is to depict the formation. After that, you just need to follow the steps and pay attention to controlling the temperature when heating with spiritual fire.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everything proceeded smoothly. Now it was the crucial moment of the fusion of the medicinal power, and everyone was a little nervous. Whether it would succeed or not would soon be clear.

"Sister Mei, come on, we're almost there." Xiao Huang was a little excited as he sniffed the increasingly strong medicinal aroma. However, in his excitement, he immediately shouted, "Oh no, we're going too far, Sister Mei, stop it!"

There was a slight burning smell coming out, and Hu Meiniang knew that something bad was going to happen. She quickly stopped the fire and then used the pill-condensing technique to form a pill.

With a "hiss", the pill outlet opened, a stream of hot air was discharged, and then a slightly burnt pill came out. At first glance, it looked a bit like caramel pudding.

"Damn it, you little Huang. I was concentrating quite well just now. It's all your fault for interrupting me." Hu Meiniang said angrily. The most important thing in alchemy is to be serious, especially when controlling the temperature. Unfortunately, no one said a word from beginning to end. Only Xiao Huang spoke at the critical moment.

"I didn't mean to do that. Don't blame me." Xiao Huang had never seen alchemy before, so how could he know how the time for making the elixir was allocated?

"Then eat this black bean. It may be a little burnt, but it still has medicinal properties. Don't waste it." Hu Meiniang threw the pill to Xiao Huangdao.

Although Xiao Huang was not very happy, since so many people were watching, he still took the scorched pill and ate it with gritted teeth.

"Pah, pah, pah, it's so disgusting." After eating, Xiao Huang spat out his saliva, looking like he had eaten bitter Chinese medicine.

"You deserve it. It's your fault for talking too much." Xiaobai said with a gloating expression.

"Hmph, it may taste bad, but the potency is still good. Sister Mei, keep going, you should be able to succeed if you try again."

"Well, please don't bother me this time. I only have two chances. If I fail both times, I'll have to ask you for the herbs again."

"Let me take them out. We were just curious about how to make the elixir before. Now we have seen it once, so we won't disturb you and Sister Qing." Xue Tianhan picked up Xiao Huang and said to Xiao Qi and the others.

Without any interruptions, Hu Meiniang was very successful this time. There were no problems from beginning to end, and she successfully refined a perfect Qi Gathering Pill.

"What a strong medicinal fragrance! Let me see!" Lady Green Snake came forward to take the freshly baked Qi Gathering Pill and looked at it carefully.

"How is it?" Hu Meiniang asked nervously.

"Well, it's a two-patterned pill. You were able to successfully refine a two-patterned Qi Gathering Pill in two attempts. Your talent for alchemy is not bad!" Lady Green Snake handed the pill to Hu Meiniang and praised her.

"The two-patterned pill is not bad! But this has nothing to do with the talent for alchemy. It is entirely due to the skills given by the young master. The alchemy skills given by the young master are really useful." Hu Meiniang picked up the pill and observed it, and said with satisfaction.

"Do you have any Phoenix Grass on you?" Lady Green Snake also wanted to try it. She wanted to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but she was still missing a main ingredient.

"Yes, are you going to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Hu Meiniang had also seen the following pill recipes. Only the Marrow Cleansing Pill needed Phoenix Grass, but the Marrow Cleansing Pill was much more complicated than the Qi Gathering Pill.

"Yes, I don't have many spiritual medicines on me. Together with the Phoenix Grass, I can only make three portions of the Marrow Cleansing Pill." Madam Green Snake is not an alchemist, and she doesn't have the habit of collecting medicinal materials.

"Then you must be very careful when controlling the temperature, especially when the medicine liquid is viscous. If you don't control it well, it will burn. I didn't control this step well when I first refined the Qi Gathering Pill." Hu Meiniang reminded, and at the same time took out the Phoenix Grass on her body and gave it to Madam Green Snake.

"Yes, I will. I carefully observed you refining the Qi Gathering Pill just now."

"That's good, but don't be too nervous. As long as there are no problems with the formation, the alchemy will be almost successful."

"Don't be nervous. There are three doses of medicinal materials. If I fail once, I will try twice. If I fail twice, I will try three times. I don't believe that I can't master this simplified version of alchemy." Madam Green Snake said confidently.

"Okay, then I'll go tell the good news to the young master and the others first. You can focus on refining the pill, I will keep an eye on them." Hu Meiniang said, holding the Qi Gathering Pill.

After Hu Meiniang left, Lady Green Snake first threw some herbs into the alchemy furnace, and then activated the formation.

"It's really simple. All that's missing is controlling the heat." Green Snake Lady exclaimed as she watched the herbs being orderly broken down and sorted under the formation. She believed that with this alchemy technique, with more practice, she would surely become a highly respected alchemist.

The ingredients for the marrow cleansing pill are a bit complicated and there are too many of them. Even if it can be done automatically under the formation, it still takes time.

It took Lady Green Snake a full hour to decompose the medicinal materials into liquid medicine, and then she used spiritual fire to burn away the impurities, making the liquid medicine purer.

This step is very critical. If the fire is too low, impurities cannot be removed and time is wasted. If the fire is too high, the food will easily get burnt. Therefore, the heat is very important. Lady Green Snake tried it carefully, preferring to simmer it slowly rather than fry it over high heat.

However, due to lack of experience, Lady Green Snake unexpectedly encountered an accident.

When the medicine liquid was shrinking and becoming thick, I accidentally turned the fire a little too high and the bottom became burnt.

"Damn it, just a little bit off." Lady Green Snake said regretfully, but even if it was a little fuzzy, the pill could still be made, it was just a little burnt, similar to the caramel pudding that Hu Meiniang had made before.

The first attempt failed, so Lady Green Snake had to prepare for the second attempt.

This time, having learned from the previous lesson, Lady Green Snake reduced the fire by half when concentrating the medicinal liquid. When she felt it was almost ready, she condensed the pill.

With a "hiss", the pill came out, a little moist, like freshly beaten egg yolk.

"Failed again." Looking at the single-marked Marrow Cleansing Pill, Madam Green Snake sighed. This time, the heat wasn't high enough to dry out the excess moisture within the pill, resulting in a weak, less solid pill.

"There is only one chance left. If I fail again, I can only go out and buy a batch of medicinal herbs tomorrow and practice slowly." Madam Green Snake put the pill away, and then put the last batch of medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace.

After two lessons, Lady Green Snake got the hang of it this time. She took one step at a time and finally managed to refine a two-pattern marrow cleansing pill without any trouble.

Looking at this marrow cleansing pill, Lady Green Snake felt neither happy nor sad. Marrow cleansing pills usually have three patterns, and this one has two patterns, which is not good enough. However, it is not bad to have such an effect for the first time refining the pill.

After tidying up, Lady Green Snake opened the door and came out, and found Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi fighting on the martial arts arena.

"Xiao Qi, what do you think of my trick?"

"How did you do it?" Xiao Qi was surprised when he saw three identical Xue Tianhan.

"Hey, a new technique I learned," Xue Tianhan said proudly. He had been bored waiting outside and planned to try out some techniques from the library. He hadn't expected to actually be able to use this Shadow Splitting Technique. However, he could only create two clones at the moment, so there was still a lot of room for improvement.

"Then teach me now, I want to learn!"

"Wait, there's another more powerful one. Try it first, but you have to activate your King Kong Tyrant Body. I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you."

"Tsk, you're only level 13, and I'm level 19. If you don't use the Luoyu Bow, how can you hurt me?" Xiao Qi deliberately attacked. She hoped that Xue Tianhan would level up quickly. If she didn't attack him, there would be no motivation.

"Be obedient, if you activate the dominance, I will show you that move." Xue Tianhan estimated that this move would definitely hurt Xiaoqi, so he would not dare to do anything unless Xiaoqi activated the dominance.

"Okay, you come on!" Seeing that Xue Tianhan was so serious, Xiao Qi had no choice but to take it seriously as well and hold up her King Kong body.

"Look carefully, this move is the first of the Three Axes to Create the World, called "One Axe to Split the Mountain". It should be one of the unique moves used by Pangu to create the world in ancient times." Xue Tianhan held a top-grade treasure axe in his hand, and then used "One Axe to Split the Mountain".
