"Master.. although I do know how to concoct pills, it is only basic at most.." Di Rou quickly said with a downcasted expression.

In addition, even if I were extremely skilled to be able to concoct grade 4 pills, to my knowledge, there aren't any pills that could help you mend an internal injury as severe as yours..

"That's fine, as long as you know how to concoct pills, it will do for now! I'll guide you along with how the pills should be concocted." Duan Li replied and waved his hand.

Huala!

Three roots ginseng, Flamehorn fern, Emerald leaves, Crimson petal..

"All these are high grade herbs!" Di Rou swallowed her saliva as she stared at the series of herbs being taken out of her master's spatial ring as if they were cabbages.

All in all, there were 24 unique herbs laid down neatly on the ground, with each herb so rare and expensive that one could only buy them with specific channels and the right authority in the Jiu Empire.

In addition, the cheapest herb here already costs to somewhere around 10 Medium quality spirit stones, while a few of them costs as high as 2 High quality spirit stones!

Just these showcase of wealth alone would be enough to earn the respect and veneration of most people!

But thinking about it, this was only natural. After all, the residence court that her master bought was the best of the best, and these herbs were probably plucked out directly from the garden.

However, all these made Di Rou even more afraid and nervous to concoct the pills in her master's stead. If she failed, the sheer total costs was not something that she could bear!

Still, seeing her master carefully analyzing each herb and had already separated them into the correct portions, she could not help but to grit her teeth as she made a decision.

"Since Master has already trusted me, I must not fail at all costs!" she thought to herself.

On the other hand, seeing the tensed look on his trusted aide, Duan Li chuckled.

"Don't worry, all you have to do is to follow my words exactly as I said them later on. You will then have a 99 percent success rate at least!" Duan Li said with an assuring and confident tone.

Hearing this, Di Rou was surprised for a moment before she misunderstood.

"99 percent success rate? That means the grade of the pills won't be too high.." she sighed in relief.

However, if the grade of the pills are low, would it even help alleviating his internal injuries?

It didn't take long before Duan Li finished with all the preparations, and he had already given Di Rou a compiled manual of the method on how to concoct the pill.

"Overflow Resurgence Spirit Pill?" Di Rou said with a slight frown on her forehead as she pondered.

The concept behind this pill was actually quite simple;

After a cultivator swallowed the pill, the pill will not be digested but instead stayed in the stomach.

Then, the pill will passively absorb spiritual Qi from the Dantian. Every few hours or so, the pill will release the full content of the spiritual Qi, mimicking the way with how a cultivator cycled their spiritual Qi along their meridians and Qi pathways.

Next, with the potency of medicinal properties the pill has, the ruptured meridians and Qi pathways would slowly regenerate along with the cycle.

However, this was more easier said than done.

Theoretically, this would work, and there were already many pills which could absorb and release spiritual Qi overtime, acting like a capacitor.

But then, for the pills to possess regenerative properties that could mend ruptured meridians and Qi pathways to such an extreme degree?

Not to mention if that was even possible, there were not even records of myths or legends about something like that!

In addition, this was the first time that she had ever heard of the name of this pill after she finished reading the manual.

Therefore, it was inevitable that she would have some doubts about the existence of the pill and its effectiveness.

"En! This is a pill that I formulated just now. If my estimate is correct, then this pill should be around..." Duan Li cupped his chin before continuing.

"Grade 6 pill!"

"..."

Grade 6 pill?

You just formulated it yourself?

Puu!!

"As expected of Master.." Di Rou said as she suppressed herself from possibly choking to death.

If it were any other person hearing that they were about to be guided to concoct a grade 6 pill, they might just straight went up and slap the other party right on the face to say, 'Keep dreaming!'.

Just how difficult was pill forging?

To put it into a perspective, a One star Alchemist could successfully concoct a Grade 1 pill, the most common pills out there and their availability was practically limitless.

Two stars and Three stars Alchemists could concoct Grade 2 pills, with the latter being more proficient in it and produces higher quality pills.

Four stars through Six stars were able to forge Grade 3 to Grade 4 pills, and only Seven stars Alchemists could concoct the more difficult pinnacle Grade 4 pills.

Whereas for Eight stars to Nine stars Alchemists, they could produce pills on the Grade 5 level, and finally, Ten stars Alchemists, through rigorous trial and error, would be able to concoct a Grade 6 pill out of ten batches!

In other words, what Duan Li was asking of her, was to shoot straight for the moon and become a Ten stars Alchemist on the spot!

Who in the world would not be triggered?

"Oh Lord of the Nine Devas, please help me to concoct it successfully!" Di Rou earnestly prayed for the first time in her life.

Since she had seen the miracles performed by her master time and again because she was always by his side, she knew that her master has the capability to back his words. Still, she was nervous and unnerved about it all the same.

"Okay first, just throw all these portions into that cauldron over there!" Duan Li instructed her.

Huh?

If I remembered my basics correctly, shouldn't we try to put the portion one by one and let their essences mold into the cauldron first before placing the others?

Seeing the dazed look on the face of his trusted aide, Duan Li frowned as he spoke with a stern voice, "What are you still standing around for? The cauldron will start to boil soon!"

"Y-Yes!" Di Rou snapped out from her bewilderment and quickly did as told.

Splash! Splash!

"Good! Now wait for a few moments before the cauldron boils. Then we can begin the real process!" Duan Li said as he nodded with satisfaction.

Unable to contain her curiosity after a while, Di Rou turned to her master and queried the questions she had on her mind.

"Master, why are we boiling all those portions at the same time? Won't their essences be mixed together?"

As if he had already anticipated this type of question, Duan Li shook his head.

"No it won't.. if you do it properly though!" he replied and then continued, "Separating essences from the ingredients requires the temperature inside the cauldron to be just right."

"Therefore, rather than wasting time boiling a portion one at a time, boiling all of them at once in one pot would be a far more efficient method."

Thinking about this, Di Rou recalled that higher ranked Alchemist would boil the essences of multiple ingredients at the same time as well, albeit in multiple cauldrons with a single ingredients each.

However, those had already required extreme focus to monitor and not just anyone could do it.

The fact that her master could do all these within a single cauldron..

Mythical skills might just be the right word to describe it!

Gu! Gu! Gu!

Duan Li then beckoned her to step a little bit closer and look deeper into the inside of the cauldron, where the searing heat started to produce 'gorgling' sounds, signalling them that it would soon enter the boiling phase after the initial heating process!

"It won't be too long now. Sit cross-legged first. Then, I want you to cycle your spiritual Qi while opening your Haku acupoint on your shoulder. Next, send a stream of it into the palm of my hand through it." Duan Li instructed.

Di Rou nodded and did as was told. Cycling the spiritual Qi inside her body and sending it out through her Haku acupoint, her spiritual Qi travelled through Duan Li's palm that was on top of her shoulder right now.

Huuu!!

Although Duan Li's meridians and Qi pathways were severely damaged and couldn't cycle any spiritual Qi in it right now, only travelling through his palm region, this was already enough for Duan Li to understand her rate of cycle and breathing!

"Good! The first phase of this pill forging technique will be a very simple process of isolating the essences and mixing them together. Your timing needs to match the sequence though, so listen to me carefully!" Duan Li said with a strict tone.

Plop!

As each ingredients has a different melting point before their essences were to be squeezed out, each needed to be wrapped with spiritual Qi of varying thickness.

To put it simply, ingredients with shorter time of melting point would be wrapped with a thicker spiritual Qi, acting like a resistance to the heat in the cauldron.

What this means was that, which essences would be extracted first could be controlled!

"Amazing.." Di Rou could not help but to be astonished.

This method was included in the manual that she had read before, and it was a simplified version of the Chainlock Processing technique that Duan Li had used back then when tempering the body of Shen Lu and the rest.

However, while the theory sounded extremely simple, the reality was actually quite the opposite.

Unless one could know the exact time and temperature as well as all sorts of conditions within the cauldron, this method was highly impractical.

It was only due to Duan Li's Tetra Soul Sense that he could do it. Meanwhile, Di Rou's spiritual Qi was just like an extra hand, all because he can't use any spiritual Qi at the moment.

...

After the sequencing phase was complete, it was now the time to coagulate them together.

"Alright, this is the final step. Merge this one first.."

Duan Li continued to instruct Di Rou as the latter listened to his instructions attentively.

While she could not make sense the majority of the whole process, she had also gained a tremendous amount of experience in it and had several epiphanies on the logic behind it.

Therefore, it could be said that she had greatly benefitted from this bizarre pill concocting session!

Wengg!!

"It's done.." Di Rou exhaled as she sweated buckets, highlighting her curvaceous figure even behind her dark outfit.

There was only a single pill floating, but it was shining with an azure color, as if the pill was a tear drop that had just fell from the Heavens, captivating those that stared at it.

"It's really a Grade 6 pill, I can't believe I managed to concoct it.." Di Rou felt goosebumps all over as her body shivered.

Grabbing at the pill, Duan Li took a look and analyzed it for a while before nodding.

Gulp!

Swallowing the pill, he then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes as he began to cultivate it.
