How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Ye Yueyue nodded thoughtfully; she had another question.

"How much do I need to pay? And what is an alchemy qualification certificate?"

She only has a hundred spirit stones on her body right now, she's dirt poor, and where is she going to get the materials?

It's true that even a hero can be brought down by a penny.

"Renting a pill refining room costs five spirit stones a day. The pill refining qualification certificate is issued by the Pill Alliance and is used to distinguish the rank of pill refiners. As long as you pass the Pill Alliance's assessment, you can get it. It is also a recognition and honor for pill refiners," Si Keke explained.

"Oh, do you have any, Coco?"

"Yes, I am a first-grade alchemist!" Si Keke giggled as she took out a card from her storage bag and placed it in front of her.

Ye Yueyue examined it carefully.

It was something similar to the black card from her previous life, with eight large characters written on it in a flamboyant style.

Si Keke, a first-class alchemist.

"Wow, I didn't expect Coco to be such a big shot!" Ye Yueyue gave her a thumbs up in recognition.

Upon hearing this, Si Keke's smug expression changed, and she became somewhat shy, stammering.

"No, there isn't any..."

Ye Yueyue chuckled, "Yes, Coco is amazing! I hope you'll teach me when you become a great alchemist. Oh, by the way, how do I get the materials for refining pills? Should I buy them?"

Hearing her words, a hint of certainty flashed in Si Keke's eyes, and she said seriously, "Okay, I will teach Junior Sister Yue!"

"Materials can be purchased at Danfeng. One set of materials can be used to refine 1 to 10 pills. The price varies depending on the grade of the pills, with higher-grade pills being more expensive."

Junior Sister Yue is just starting out with refining spirit pills. You can try the simplest one, the Spirit Replenishing Pill. One dose of Spirit Replenishing Pills costs 3 spirit stones, and one bottle costs 10 spirit stones.

so cheap?

Wouldn't it be enough to have a one-third success rate in pill formation?

Ye Yueyue instantly felt as if a large number of spirit stones were beckoning to her.

At this moment, her desire to learn reached its peak again. She restrained her excitement and patiently listened to the lesson with Si Keke.

As soon as get out of class ended, she dragged Si Keke straight to the alchemy hall.

Renting a pill room costs five spirit stones, and it's always the same no matter how long you use it. So, Ye Yueyue reluctantly bought the materials for ten sets of Spirit Replenishing Pills, preparing for a big undertaking.

She lost 35 spirit stones at once, and her heart ached so much she almost cried.

No heartbreak has ever hurt as much as this moment.

With unwavering confidence in her success, Ye Yueyue waved goodbye to Si Keke.

"Go, Junior Sister Yue!" Si Keke clenched her fist, her face full of encouragement.

Ye Yueyue nodded heavily and walked into the alchemy room.

Upon entering the alchemy room, Ye Yueyue immediately felt a pleasant aroma that soothed her agitated mood and brought her a sense of relaxation.

The alchemy room was neither too big nor too small, with an alchemy furnace standing in the middle. The overall design was somewhat like a kitchen but not quite. They were from the same lineage, and Ye Yueyue felt much closer to it.

She had already learned most of the knowledge of alchemy in class. Before coming in, Si Keke had given her a pill formula. Ye Yueyue opened her palm, and it was the pill formula for the Spirit Replenishing Pill.

The Spirit Replenishing Pill is a elixir used by cultivators to replenish their spiritual energy, and it is also one of the most commonly used elixirs in the cultivation world.

The ingredients for a Spirit Replenishing Pill are not complicated: a few spiritual herbs, the most important of which is the Cold Star Grass.

Ye Yueyue placed a set of materials on the table next to the alchemy furnace and began to process the spiritual plants.

All spiritual plants possess spiritual energy. One can sense their activity by scanning them with one's divine sense. The more active the spiritual plant, the better the quality of the pill.

Ye Yueyue removed the excess roots and leaves from the spiritual plant, thus eliminating most of the impurities and leaving only the pure essence of the plant.

After treating several spiritual plants.

With a thought, Ye Yueyue conjured a ball of fire in her hand.

Controlling the fire elemental power, I lit the fire beneath the alchemy furnace, and waited for the flames to gradually ignite.

Ye Yueyue then began to refine the pills according to the steps in the recipe.

The prepared spiritual plants were thrown into the alchemy furnace, starting with the auxiliary spiritual plants...

After placing a plant inside, Ye Yueyue used her spiritual power to probe into the alchemy furnace, sensing the plant's spiritual energy and vitality, leaving no inch unchecked, repeatedly sensing it, and then controlling her spiritual power to completely remove any impurities.

Through the refining process of the flames, the impurities were separated from the spiritual plant, forming a mass of grayish-brown liquid that eventually turned into wisps of gray smoke that emerged from the furnace chimney.

She could see it clearly through her divine sense.

Everything was proceeding smoothly, which greatly boosted Ye Yueyue's confidence.

With the impurities removed, she increased the flames and began to refine the essence into a liquid.

Although she was being careful, her lack of experience meant the firepower was still too strong, and the spiritual plant couldn't withstand it, turning directly into a black... charred mess.

With a loud "boom," the alchemy furnace trembled violently, and wisps of black smoke billowed from the chimney.

Because the distance was too close, some of the smear was directly applied to Ye Yueyue's face.

!!!

The first attempt at alchemy ended in failure.

Ye Yueyue wiped her face with immense heartache, sat down on the ground to rest for a while, and only started tidying up after calming down.

Fortunately, the alchemy furnace wasn't damaged, otherwise she really couldn't afford to pay for it.

After cleaning the alchemy furnace again, Ye Yueyue repeated the steps from before.

We quickly reached the point where we had just failed.

This time, she was very careful, gradually increasing the firepower with her spiritual energy, and the furnace did not explode again.

This relieved Ye Yueyue slightly, but she could clearly sense that the activity in the essence had decreased significantly, so she carefully proceeded to the next step.

Controlling the heat, he slowly refined the spiritual plant into a liquid.

As the flames burned continuously, Ye Yueyue used her spiritual power to control every inch of the spiritual herb, ensuring it was fully heated. Finally, after a few minutes, it successfully transformed into a transparent liquid.

A spiritual plant the size of a palm has now been condensed into a dozen drops of liquid.

Ye Yueyue began refining the next auxiliary spirit plant.

With the experience from the previous two attempts, she successfully refined the second auxiliary spirit plant this time, and with the increase in her proficiency, the second plant had better activity.

Both liquids have been refined.

Now, only the most important spiritual plant is missing, which is also the core of the Spirit Replenishing Pill: the Cold Star Grass.

The refinement of the Frost Star Grass is more difficult than the previous two. Not only does it contain more spiritual energy, but as the main material for refining the Spirit Replenishing Pill, it is also more complex.

Ye Yueyue spent a lot of time processing it. During the refining stage, there were many impurities. She devoted herself to it wholeheartedly, removing the impurities little by little, leaving only the essence.

Time passed by, and she finally succeeded in refining the Frost Star Grass.

Ye Yueyue saw through her divine sense that three different liquids were present in the alchemy furnace.

The portion of the Cold Star Grass was larger, and after refining it, it was time for the final and crucial step in making the pill.

That is fusion, the formation of the elixir!

This step is many times more difficult than the previous one.
