Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

"Young master, what kind of pills would you like to buy? Jirentang has all kinds of pills." Seeing Wang Mu lingering, the shop assistant at the door greeted him warmly.

Wang Mu went inside and asked, "Do you have any Sunflowers here?"

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, "You want to buy herbs?"

"Is there a problem?" Wang Mu asked.

"No, no." The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and reminded him, "Sir, if you buy herbs directly, they'll be useless without a pharmacist to process them. Besides, different herbs have different medicinal properties, and it could be dangerous if your family takes them indiscriminately at home."

"I am the pharmacist," Wang Mu said calmly.

"You're a pharmacist?" The shop assistant's eyes widened as he sized up Wang Mu, thinking to himself, "You're just bragging."

In the entire city of Xuzhou, the only pharmacist of such a young age is Miss Ling'er from the Li family.

Li Feng ignored him and asked, "Do you even have any Blazing Sunflowers?"

"Please wait a moment." The waiter turned and called inside, "Manager, come out for a moment."

He was only responsible for selling the finished pills; the decision on the raw materials was up to the boss.

Moreover, this guy is clearly a fool; he can't afford to take responsibility if something goes wrong after buying the herbs.

A middle-aged man dressed in a sky-blue robe came out from the inner room.

The waiter explained Wang Mu's purpose for coming.

The shopkeeper glanced at Li Feng and smiled, "This customer wants to buy the Blazing Sunflower?"

"Yes."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, "We do have some herbs, but they are purchased in quantities to refine high-quality pills. If I sell the Blazing Sun Flower to you, young master, my entire batch of pills will be wasted."

Wang Mu pulled out a stack of silver notes, dipped them in saliva, and flipped through them. "Tell me, how much? I'll even buy your entire batch of pills."

The shopkeeper and his assistant's eyes widened in surprise.

The young master casually flipped through the banknotes in his hand, each worth a thousand taels.

Jirentang's daily turnover was only a few hundred taels of silver; they had never seen such a wealthy patron.

The shopkeeper swallowed hard, grabbed the top sheet, and said, "No need to flip through them, this one is enough."

He did want to rip him off, but a young man who could casually produce such a huge sum of money must be someone of considerable status. A thousand taels was already more than enough; if he were to be any greedier, he would probably be in trouble.

He's in the business of long-term success.

Wang Mu pulled out another bill and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand. "I have a few more ingredients for my medicine. Please prepare them all for me as well. Oh, and I also need to borrow your alchemy furnace."

He named several herbs, which were common herbs compared to the Blazing Sun Grass. With the addition of the alchemy furnace, the price would far exceed one thousand taels.

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and had his assistant lead Li Feng to the inner courtyard.

In a semi-enclosed room, firewood and medicinal dregs were scattered, and in the middle stood a bronze alchemy furnace about half a person's height.

The furnace was covered in mottled rust, and there were nine ventilation holes on the top.

"Useless iron to make bronze alchemy furnaces? Garbage," Wang Mu's lips twitched.

In his previous life, he used alchemy furnaces made of top-grade black iron to withstand the bombardment of the pill's energy during the pill's formation.

Some high-grade pills even exhibit extraordinary phenomena when they are formed. When the medicinal energy spreads, it is comparable to the impact of a high-level expert. Without a top-grade pill furnace, it will directly cause the furnace to explode.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to make do with it as it is," Wang Mu sighed.

The Blazing Sun Flower is a low-grade pill. Although it will emit medicinal vapor, as long as he controls it, it shouldn't cause an explosion.

Maybe!

"You all go out." Wang Mu waved for the shopkeeper and his staff to leave.

Although the two were curious, they had no choice but to leave the room since their patron had spoken.

"Shopkeeper, do you think this young master really knows how to refine pills?"

"Practice my ass." The shopkeeper said disdainfully, "Look at him, with his delicate skin and tender flesh. I don't think he has any calluses from handling medicine for a long time. This kind of rich young master must be ignorant of his own limitations. He just picked up a prescription and wants to learn how to make pills. I don't think he can even start a fire."

The waiter nodded vigorously, "I think so too. That young master looks just like that sickly old man behind our house. He spends all his time wandering around brothels and he's so unsteady on his feet. If he could refine pills, I'd mix the dregs with my rice and eat them."

……

Alchemy furnace room.

Wang Mu stood quietly in front of the furnace for five minutes.

Before refining elixirs, one needs to eliminate distracting thoughts, just like reading and writing. You can't write well if you're not completely focused.

With his mental cultivation from his previous life, eliminating distracting thoughts would have been a matter of a single breath, but he had just undergone memory fusion and his mind was still dizzy.

It took a little longer.

at this time.

Wang Mu suddenly moved. He opened the top of the furnace, quickly put the herbs down, and then pressed the switch for the fire channel next to him. A bright red flame lit up from below the furnace, and the scorching temperature instantly enveloped the entire furnace chamber.

Peiyuan Dan is a highly yang-tonifying elixir that requires intense heat to refine.

The temperature inside the alchemy furnace gradually rose, and beads of sweat appeared on Wang Mu's forehead.

Having spent his previous life refining elixirs, he was already used to this kind of heat. After a quarter of an hour had passed...

He increased the heat again, to the maximum temperature the bronze furnace could withstand.

"The success of the pill depends on this one move." Wang Mu was overjoyed.

Buzz!

At this moment, the alchemy furnace began to tremble violently.

The intense heat and the medicinal vapors of the soon-to-be-formed pill attacked from both inside and outside, and the bronze alchemy furnace began to give way.

Wang Mu's expression changed, he kicked over the table next to him and hid behind it.

boom!

There was a loud bang.

The door to the alchemy furnace room flew off, and the apprentice who was peeking in from outside was sent flying.

The shopkeeper was lucky to have stayed far away, but he was still dumbfounded.

The alchemy furnace chamber was filled with smoke, as if a catastrophe had occurred.

"My alchemy furnace..." A scream came from the pharmacy.

Although it was just an ordinary bronze alchemy furnace, it was still extremely precious to Jirentang.

"Cough cough!" Wang Mu ran out with a dirty face.

Seeing the horrific scene inside, he wiped the sweat from his forehead in shock.

I didn't expect it to actually explode.

"Guest," the innkeeper said pitifully as he approached.

"It's alright, I'm not short of money." Wang Mu tossed a silver note at the shopkeeper's face. "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

After saying that, Wang Mu fled in panic.

The dignified God of Medicine actually caused an explosion while refining medicine; if word got out, people would laugh their heads off.

Wang Mu stopped after running for a street, reached into his sleeve, and pulled out a pill the size of a thumb.

The pill was entirely crimson, with flame-like patterns on its surface.

A pure medicinal fragrance filled Wang Mu's nostrils.

The Qi-Nourishing Pill has been successfully made.

……

Wang Mu's room in the Prince's Mansion.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, the Qi-Nourishing Pill in his palm.

After adjusting his state, he swallowed the pill without hesitation.

A stream of hot liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, and then the heat spread through his limbs.

The Peiyuan Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and its powerful medicinal effects began to wash over his body.
