Chapter 51 - Endowments of Alchemy (1/2)

Qing Ji also gave Ye Shang a few spirit stones, which could be used to create fire formations.

From the explanation of Qing Ji, Ye Shang understood spirit stones could be categorized into many groups according to their qualities, i.e. low, middle, top and the best.

Refining the First-Rank and Second-Rank medicinal herbs or pills only required low spirit stones.

When Ye Shang first tried refining, it took him half a day, but he still failed.

Though there was nothing wrong in the process of refining the medicinal juice, purifying, adding catalysts, and condensing, he still couldn’t control the fire formation, which led to the failure.

“Martial Sister, do I have no talent for alchemy?” Wiping the black ash on his face, Ye Shang said.

Snapped!

Qing Ji slapped Ye Shang’s face softly, though she was rarely angry.

“No talent? Continue!” She shouted at Ye Shang and left.

Qing Ji couldn’t describe her feelings since when she first started alchemy, she failed twice when refining the medicinal juice, twice when purifying, several times when adding catalysts, and more than 10 times at the final stage.

Under such circumstances, Liu Yangyu and Tie Tsang still praised her alchemy talent, hence how could she remain calm when Ye Shang reached the final stage on the first try?

At his second try, he still failed, so he kept trying.

Fortunately, in the evening, he successfully refined of a pot of Soul Elixir.

Holding the Soul Elixir, Ye Shang came to the bamboo building of Qing Ji and showed her his result.

“Well, you failed more than 1 time, right?” Qing Ji asked.

“Twice, sorry.” Ye Shang was embarrassed.

“For a beginner, it’s acceptable to succeed in three tries. Go back to cultivate, don’t stop the cultivation because of alchemy.” Resisting the idea of praising him, Qing Ji asked him to leave.

After asking Ye Shang to leave, Qing Ji drank some tea. “Teaching such a younger brother makes me feel such huge pressure.”

In the next half of the month, Ye Shang cultivated the Xuan Ding Scripture and Myriad Dao Treasured Tome at night, and practiced combat skills and alchemy during the daytime.

As he improved his combat skills, his technique of alchemy was also skyrocketing.

He now rarely failed refining Soul Elixir and the speed became much faster as it only took him a bit more than 2 hours to refine a pot of Soul Elixir.

One night, when Ye Shang just finished refining a pot of medicinal herbs, Qing Ji, Yang Lei and Mo Chen came to his place.

“Thirteenth, did you give your servants the Soul Elixir?” Qing Ji asked.

“A bit, I don’t need too much.” Ye Shang said.

“Come on! You have so many medicinal herbs, can’t you give me some? I also have servants!” Yang Lei stared at Ye Shang and said.

“Ninth Sister, you need some? Eleventh Brother, do you also want some?” Ye Shang went to the cabinet where he stored the material behind and opened it, then they saw many bottles of medicinal bottles inside.

“Man! Thirteenth, are you an alchemy machine? So many!” Mo Chen stepped forward, took out a medicinal bottle, and shouted.

“Sixth Sister told me that ‘practice makes one perfect’!” said Ye Shang.

Qing Ji, Yang Lei and Mo Chen became silent, and they all stared at Ye Shang.

“Ninth Sister, what do you think?” After Qing Ji looked at Ye Shang for a while, she turned and asked Yang Lei.
