Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 49 - Teach Ling Xi
Recalling the last thing Fei Hung said, he asked, "Sister, do you know about alchemy?"
Fei Hung nodded with a gentle smile, "Mmm, I can tell that I know a little, so I want to see how you make potions."
Ling Xi nodded with a wide smile as she picked up the medicinal plants in her hands and arranged them, explaining to Fei Hung their respective names and traits.
Fei Hung did not bother him. He let her relax and overcame his embarrassment a little as the two of them spoke.
Although he knew all the effects of all the medicinal herbs, he did not know the names used in this place.
Ling Xi began to heat up each medicinal plant one by one in the cauldron in front of them. Fei Hung noticed that, one tube was connected to one side, from which the fire came.
The cultivators had their own cauldrons and with their own fire spells or spiritual flames on their bodies, they could easily concoct pills.
Cultivators can control their fire power as they please, so they can do many things and much more.
Fei Hung observed that, the process of making Ling Xi's medicinal herbs was almost the same as pill making. It's just that, it's impossible to remove all impurities from each medicinal herb, so the effect won't be too good.
Also, it seemed like Ling Xi was only heating one potion per one round, she was not purifying two potions at once. It seemed, since he had to concentrate on one herb, so having a mind split into two by having two herbs in it, would increase the risk of discarding and burning both herbs.
The plants he had finished, he left beside the cauldron that looked warm, as if to warm it up a little and to avoid the cooling speed, so as not to be wasted before the ingredients of the potion were mixed all together
Every time Ling Xi finished by combining the potions, she would slightly raise the temperature of the flames and place the other herbs inside the cauldron. He would then follow the same process of controlling the flames from the outside and preventing the herbs from burning.
SHHHHH!!
A burning smell could be smelled from the cauldron.
Ling Xi twisted her thin lips with a disappointed face when she saw that the herbs were burning again.
"This plant must last at least 5 minutes for its feces to be removed, but, not 3 minutes have passed and it has been burned." He shook his head in disappointment as he explained what should have happened.
“I guess, of all the ingredients of the potion, it is the one that always burns, right? And that's why all the other liquids also burned” Fei Hung asked as he observed the process.
Ling Xi was a little surprised when she heard what Fei Hung said.
He wondered how Fei Hung knew about it, that medicinal plants were always burning and he could not finish the potion-making process because everything was burning in the end.
Fei Hung smiled weakly as he stood in front of the cauldron, next to Ling Xi, he said, "The plant in your hand should be cooked slowly with a small flame, because its nature is something special."
Fei Hung started the process again easily, while in each round he placed two potions instead of one.
He did not want to scare Ling Xi by putting all the herbs inside and easily forming the so-called exilir in a short period of time, so he started the process slowly. Fei Hung did not even use the power of fire, he did everything just by hand.
Ling Xi was in a daze seeing Fei Hung easily purify the medicinal plants, even two at a time!
Ling Yan also came to watch. He was curious about what Fei Hung was talking about with his little sister, so he couldn't help but get close to them. But he was shocked when he saw him talking to Ling Xi about medicinal herbs and now easily worked on alchemy.
Fei Hung put away all the plants that had become liquid, while letting Ling Xi observe them.
"This plant has a very dense consistency on the outside, but on the inside, the consistency is very light, so instead of increasing the strength of the fire, you have to reduce it. The temperature inside the cauldron was already hot enough after you performed all the refining processes on all the herbs before, do you know your mistake?"
The medicinal plant droppings were completely refined, while a sweet smell could be smelled when a liquid formed inside the cauldron without any plants burning.
The clear liquid and distinctive smell of medicinal herbs could be smelled in the air.
Ling Xi was astonished at how easily Fei Hung performed alchemy. Even Ling Yan was also surprised to see what Fei Hung was doing.
"Because it increases the heat of the fire, the medicinal plant burns quickly along with the fine liquid you set aside ..."
Fei Hung showed the liquid that was in the warm zone that kept the already refined liquid in optimal condition.
Fei Hung continued to explain, "After 5 minutes have passed, the medicinal plants will be properly purified, so you can mix them with the other refined liquids we set aside."
Fei Hung went on to mix all the liquids gently, without a doubt, as if he had done this a thousand times.
Ling Xi was still a bit confused as she tried to focus again on the potion that Fei Hung finished.
Fei Hung easily finished all the potions while he said to her with a smile.
"seen? It's not too difficult, you just need to understand the properties of each plant and know how to use the heat of fire to your advantage." Fei Hung said as he put out the fire and collected the fine herbs in a clear porcelain bottle on the table.
He then handed it to Ling Xi.
Ling Xi was confused as she held the potion in her hand.
Ling Yan was as surprised as Ling Xi when she asked in a disbelieving voice, "Brother Fei Hung, are you not a member of the alchemy association?"
Fei Hung smiled at Ling Yan's question as he replied, "You're wrong, I'm not really from the alchemy association. I only have a little knowledge of alchemy, that's all."
Ling Yan nodded foolishly. He did not believe that Fei Hung had such incredible knowledge and experience in alchemy.
Ling Xi carefully observed the potion in her hand, tasting the liquid slightly, when she suddenly shouted.
"High Class Heavenly breezes!"
"What!"
Ling Yan shouted when he heard what his sister said.
Fei Hung raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard what Ling Xi said. He had heard quite a bit about the exilir classification based on the color and consistency in it.
Even the smell of that medicinal liquid could also indicate the level classification of medicinal herbs.
