Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

"Kid, are you deliberately trying to mess with me?"

Master Volcano stared at Chu Yunfan and suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan quickly asked:

"What does Master Volcano mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Master Volcano flicked his sleeves, sat down in a chair, and then said:

"What do you mean? Kid, do you think alchemy is like cooking a big pot of rice, where you can just put any ingredients together and make pills?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately explained:

“Master Volcano, I never meant such a thing.”

"This disciple has come here truly to beg the master to save my life!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Master Volcano let out a cold snort:

"Hmph! I don't care if you mean it that way or not."

I can't refine this pill. You can leave now!

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan's expression changed drastically, and he pleaded:

"Master Volcano, this is a matter of life and death, please reconsider."

Even for the sake of the Grand Elder, please help your disciple this time!

Upon hearing the words "Grand Elder," Master Volcano's expression softened slightly, and he added an explanation:

"It's not that I don't want to give Liu Rufeng face, it's just that I don't have the ability to refine Qingxin Grass and Muling Flower into a pill together."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan's face immediately showed surprise.

"Master Volcano, you are a fourth-level alchemist, how could you not be able to refine a third-level pill?"

Upon hearing this, Master Volcano said impatiently.

"Why do you have so many questions? Can't you use your own brain to think for yourself?"

I've never even heard of a pill formula that combines Qingxin Grass and Muling Flower.

Without the recipe, how can I refine elixirs!

After saying that, Master Volcano turned his head away in anger and refused to look at Chu Yunfan again.

Chu Yunfan finally realized what was happening after hearing Master Volcano's words.

"It turns out that I had fallen into a misconception before."

In traditional Chinese medicine, as long as the properties of the herbs are compatible and conform to the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, Chinese herbs can be combined arbitrarily to treat the specific symptoms.

However, I forgot that on the Azure Cloud Continent, refining pills must be done strictly according to the pill formula!

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan's eyes suddenly became extremely disappointed.

They came full of confidence, but little did they know that they had gone in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

"Now, how am I going to explain this to Qianqian and Uncle Lin?!"

Chu Yunfan gave a bitter smile to himself, and then prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to step out the door, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly turned to Master Volcano and said:

"Master Volcano, the Heart-Clearing Grass and the Wood Spirit Flower cannot be refined into a pill together."

"Would it be feasible to separate them and refine them into two different antidotes?"

As soon as Chu Yunfan said this, Master Volcano immediately turned around and stared at him in surprise.

After a long pause, he finally spoke:

"I didn't expect you to be so clever!"

"To think they came up with such a brilliant solution in such a short time!"

Upon hearing Master Volcano's words, Chu Yunfan's expression immediately changed from sorrow to joy.

The other party's meaning was quite clear: the method he just mentioned was feasible.

He then quickly returned to the living room, handed the Heart-Cleansing Grass and the Wood Spirit Flower to Master Volcano, and said:

"What other elixirs do you need, Master? Please give us your orders!"

Upon hearing this, Master Volcano waved his hand dismissively and said:

"I have plenty of first and second-grade spiritual herbs here, so you don't need to bother. Otherwise, that old bastard Liu Rufeng might say I'm stingy next time he sees me!"

After saying that, Master Volcano walked directly towards his alchemy room.

However, halfway there, he suddenly turned to Chu Yunfan and said:

"Kid, let me warn you first, alchemy isn't a 100% success rate."

You only have one of these calming herbs. If it fails, don't blame me!

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan's initial excitement was instantly dampened, as if doused with cold water.

However, he immediately replied:

"This disciple dares not!"

If we fail, it is simply our fate; how could this disciple dare blame you, Master!

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's answer, Master Volcano nodded and said:

"If you dare to blame me, then I won't refine any pills for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Volcano walked into the alchemy room.

Looking at the tightly closed door, all Chu Yunfan could do was pray in his heart.

At the same time, the idea of ​​becoming an alchemist grew stronger in Chu Yunfan's heart.

"The elixirs of this world must ultimately be refined into pills to exert their maximum effect."

It seems I must become an alchemist as soon as possible.

Otherwise, in a critical moment of life-saving, one can only place their hopes on others.

"I even call myself a miracle doctor! It's an utter disgrace!"

In fact, Chu Yunfan had also considered preparing a medicinal liquid from Qingxin Grass and Muling Flower using traditional Chinese medicine methods for Lin Tianya to take.

But then he thought about it carefully.

The medicinal properties of elixirs are ultimately very different from those of traditional Chinese medicine on Earth, and the higher the grade of the elixir, the more miraculous its effects.

If he rashly uses medicine before fully grasping the essence of the entire Qingyun Continent's spiritual medicine system, he may very well fail at the last hurdle.

Moreover, as a cultivator's cultivation level increases, the gap between their physique and that of an ordinary human widens.

Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, is a medical system developed based on the study of the human body structure.

He did not understand the physical characteristics of a Martial Sect Realm expert, and therefore could not completely detoxify Lin Tianya according to the theories of traditional Chinese medicine.

Last time he treated Zhang San's injuries, he succeeded in treating him on the first try.

To a large extent, this is because Zhang San is still in the initial stage of martial arts.

Cultivators at the initial stage of martial arts have almost no difference in physical structure from ordinary humans, except that they are stronger.

Furthermore, he used mostly first-tier spiritual medicines to heal Zhang San.

First-tier spiritual herbs have similar medicinal properties to traditional Chinese medicine on Earth, but their effects are much stronger.

As for the few second-tier spiritual herbs he used, it was Zhang San who was lucky. Those second-tier spiritual herbs had relatively pure and simple medicinal properties, which is why Chu Yunfan was able to control them.

While Chu Yunfan was filled with countless thoughts and anxiously waiting for two hours, Master Volcano finally came out of the room.

Chu Yunfan stared at Master Volcano with anticipation.

Then, Master Volcano smiled and handed two jade bottles to Chu Yunfan.

"Kid, you're lucky. Both batches of pills were successfully refined on the first try, and both are of top quality!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately accepted the jade bottle from Master Huoshan and expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you, Master Volcano! I am deeply grateful!"

Upon hearing this, Master Volcano waved his hand casually and replied:

"It's no big deal!"

Besides, you're quick-witted too.

Otherwise, even if you brought that old bastard Liu Rufeng's token today, I still wouldn't refine pills for you!
