PRINCE OF DRAGONS
Make the first pill

Physician Li Xhiang's house was far away in the outskirts of the City, they arrived at the house when it was almost midnight. Since it was too late at night, Qian immediately rested because she was currently completely unrecovered.

After resting all night, Qian woke up when the sun was already a bit high, she immediately sat down and examined her injuries which were starting to improve. Qian noticed there was water on the table, after she checked the water, it turned out that it was warm water to wash Qian's face.

Qian walked out of her room and she saw Li Xhiang was beside her house where there were herbs lined up neatly beside Li Xhiang's house. There were different types of herbal plants such as mint leaves, ginger, cinnamon, and many more that he could not recognize.

Qian walked up to Li Xhiang while saying, "There are so many herbs here," Lin Qian said in awe.

Li Xhiang smiled, "Yes, I have this private garden to grow herbs that I use in medical practice. They are a precious resource."

Qian nodded and occasionally looked at some known plants, but some of them were unfamiliar to him. "So far I have only known some herbal plants, such as ginger and mint leaves and Ginseng. But it seems like there are so many more types of herbs here," Qian said.

Li Xhiang nodded. "True, there are so many herbal plants that can be used in medicine. Each plant has unique health benefits. And by mixing several plants together will produce one medicine that certainly has different properties" Li Xhiang said then he invited Qian to follow him while saying, "Since the Prince wanted to learn the science of medicine, the first thing the prince had to learn was to recognize the plant first," li Xhiang said after that the two of them entered a room and there were countless books lined up on the wooden shelves.

"What is this place?" qian asked as she scanned the entire room.

"This is a collection of records that Prince can learn, here keeps many records of my teacher's relics, ranging from various types of plants, how to make them and many others, and many more, if the Prince really wants to learn it, the Prince can start from this place," Li Xhiang said.

Qian did not mind at all, for the sake of being able to learn the science of medicine, however the way Qian would still do it, even though it looked very boring.

"Then I will start it today," said Qian who made Li Xhiang surprised.

"Is the Prince sure? Your body has not fully recovered, is it not better to rest for a few days?" ask Li Xhiang.

"No Physician Li, rather than me just lying still, it's better to just do the activities" Qian replied.

"Alright if that's what the Prince wants, but I suggest not to be too pushy!" healer Li said then she turned towards the door saying, "If the Prince needs anything, I am in the middle room," Physician Li Xhiang said.

"Thank you Physician Li," Qian said as she cupped her hands together.

"The Prince need not thank me, it is an honor for me to be able to help the Prince! Then I went to my study, afraid that someone would want to come here" Li Xhiang said.

Qian nodded and recalled Physician Li Xhiang's suggestion carefully. He realized the importance of knowledge about medicinal plants, and he started picking up some books that had inscribed plant covers.

Qian began to read some books about medicinal plants and began her learning. He learned how to identify medicinal plants based on the shape, color, and texture of their leaves. He also learned about the parts of the plant used for treatment, such as tubers, roots, stems, and leaves.

Moreover, Lin Qian also learned about the efficacy of different medicinal plants. For example, ginseng is commonly used to increase energy and overcome fatigue.

Li Xhiang only watched his note room with a long sigh, there would occasionally be some people coming for treatment, and after those people left, Li Xhiang would return to pay attention to the room, instead, but almost a day had passed, Qian did not come out of the room at all.

After the day changed into the night, Qian turned on the lantern lights hanging there and resumed his study without feeling bored even though he had been reading a lot about plants all day.

Li Xhiang who was helplessly looking at the non-resting Qian could only shake his head, he naturally sent out medicine and food so that Qian would not starve. "This kid is really very different, even his persistence overpowers my youth first," Li Xhiang murmured.

However, learning without practice will be very difficult for Qian, indeed reading will add new insights and knowledge, but learning will be better if you directly work on it.

In addition to studying various types of plants, Qian also studied some ready-made herbs including Pill types. Unexpectedly, Qian found a note regarding the Golden Sun Pill.

Qian was immediately excited and read the efficacy of the Golden Sun Pill, in the notes described if the Golden Sun Pill was very helpful in providing additional Inner Energy as much as the Five Inner Vortexes, which was, however, the Pill is only useful for warriors who are at the level of Soul Swordsman Fighters to Soul Swordsman Experts, while for Soul Swordsman the King will no longer provide any efficacy anymore.

The efficacy of the Golden Sun Pill not only adds to the Inner Energy, there are still some other properties such as Strengthening the body's endurance because the Golden Sun Pill is also able to make heat in the body, other properties are to cure some diseases such as internal injuries and also mild poisoning.

But in the record is also explained if too frequent consumption of the Golden Sun Pill also causes damage to the Heart, because the heat will destroy the Heart from within if the frequent consumption of the Golden Sun Pill. The rules of how to consume it properly were also explained in the note so Qian felt very happy to know all that.

There are still many records regarding the types of medicines, but of all the records available, the records regarding magic plants are only a few books.

Without feeling that it had been three days and three nights that Qian was in the room, and during that time she had almost finished all her reading, it only made Li Xhiang astonished to see Qian, but surprisingly, Qian's condition actually improved and even almost fully recovered.

Right on the fourth day, Qian had already closed the last book she had read while sighing deeply, she stretched her stiff waist as she muttered, "Finally everything is done I read!" he muttered and then he noticed the books scattered because he did not have time to save them back to his wooden shelf. Qian let out a long sigh then started tidying the books into place, and after that she stepped out of the room.

Looking at the door of the room that was opening, Li Xhiang who had just finished treating his patient rushed over to Qian who had just come out. "The prince is coming out too!" li Xhiang said.

Qian only smiled as she rubbed the back of her head, she immediately cupped her hands together as she said, "Tabib Li, thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn everything, if Physician Li allows, thank you, can I learn to concoct potions?" ask Qian.

"Owh, did the Prince really learn everything?" li Xhiang asked, unsure of himself, as he had to study a book for months, while Qian had only studied a notebook for four days and four nights.

"Hehehe..! Just want to try your luck!" qian replied with a small laugh.

"Huffa..! Alright Prince, come follow me!" said Li Xhiang who finally complied with Qian's wishes.

They both went to the back of the house, and there was already a tool to make potions, some tools that were in that place, among others, small stone mortar used to pound materials, round wood, among others, smooth and clean cloth to filter, fire furnaces, medicinal cauldrons, and several types of bottles, of course some medicinal ingredients are available there.

"Please Prince, I will observe it from here and will let you know if there is any mistake in the Prince's work" Li Xhiang said.

"Well Physician Li, now I will try to make a Blood Jade cure!" qian said as she rubbed her nose.

"That is a type of Prince Pill, making the Pill very difficult, even though the Blood Jade Pill is a rank 1 Pill, but making the Pill is very difficult," Li Xhiang reminded.

Making medicinal herbs in the form of Pills is not as easy as making ordinary herbs such as powders and medicinal liquids, it takes perseverance and high concentration to be able to create a Pill, let alone make the perfect Pill, those that are still not so perfect have a high failure rate.

"That's why I want to try it Physician Li!" answer Qian.

Some Pills have a certain level, Ranked Pill 1 is the basic Pill that has the lowest efficacy, there are a total of ten ranks, there are ten ranks, but most of the medicine experts in the Song Region were only able to make the highest Pills in Rank 5, including Li Xhiang who became one of the healers and Medicine experts.

Qian took out some ingredients to make her first Pill, she took out four types of medicinal plants from the Red Ginseng Leaves, One Trunk of Cold Clove Tree, Frozen Urate Leaves, and the last one Silver Flower Seeds.

The four ingredients were immediately taken away then Qian first lit the medicinal furnace and inserted the cauldron with some water dipper. Qian began to clean each of the ingredients then one by one in the mash and each pounded material will be placed in a separate place.

For now Qian did not make any mistakes at the beginning of his work, because the beginning of work was not difficult, the difficulty when it was past the middle, because the beginning of work was not difficult, and Li Xhiang was excited to know whether Qian would be able to make her first Pill or would fail.
