24 Clearing Pill (2/2)

Once Jiang Chen left manager immediately sent a servant to inform Jiang family about Jiang Chen's talent in alchemy too.

Then Jiang Chen proceeded to herbal stores and brought few stacks of herbs Mo Qingcheng asked him for.

Once everything was brought Jiang Chen went inside his courtyard. Jiang Chen could see his house maid Meera.

Jiang Chen ”Don't allow anyone to come inside. I will be going to isolated training for few weeks.No need to bring me any food I have made preparations for it I am in a special diet.”

Jiang Chen then proceeded inside his room once he was inside he latched it carefully and then entered his Natal palace.

Mo Qingcheng has already rearranged all the materials in an order.

Jiang Chen ”Are we going to start of immediately?”

Mo Qingcheng ”I wanted to wait but your time is very tight now.”

Jiang Chen ”True he then summoned all his weapons at once and they surrounded him in their positions.”

Mo Qingcheng was not surprised seeing this she got habitual to it.

Jiang Chen ”What are you teaching me first?”

Mo Qingcheng ”Clearing pill. You told me this was the only pill you used till now.”

Mo Qingcheng ”Even though it is a bit costly it is very highly used pill. And good thing about it is it is a fire attributed pill.”

Mo Qingcheng ”The main core of the pill is formed by beast core of fire attribute. And most of its materials are also fire attribute.”

Jiang Chen ”Oh there are actually attributes for pills too.”

Mo Qingcheng ”Not every pill. But few pills are attributed not few most .”

Mo Qingcheng ”Like clearing pill is fire attributed ,healing pill is water attributed and fire pill is again fire attributed. Blood pill doesn't have any particular attributes and employs all attributes equally.”

Jiang Chen could make a connection of it ”Are there light attributed healing pills too.”

Mo Qingcheng ”There are and they are of best quality healing pills.But you know light attribute is very rare and it is difficult to find the material needed.”

Mo Qingcheng ”Jiang Chen there are mainly five ingredients for clearing Pill. Fire beast core essence, sun lotus leaves , roots of earth grass , bark of yang fruit tree and seeds of sun yang flower.”

Mo Qingcheng ”You should extract the essence of beast core,sun lotus leaves and roots and other two you need to crush them to powder.”

Mo Qingcheng then started explaining the step by step procedure of making clearing pill to Jiang Chen.

Mo Qingcheng then started making the clearing pill to show it to Jiang Chen. Mo Qingcheng extracted the essence of the beast core and collected ten drops of essence from fire core.

Then she started extracting essence from Sun Lotus leaves.

Mo Qingcheng ”Extracting essence from herbs is different process from beast cores. Unlike beast cores there is no outer layer for this leaves. The whole leaf is the container of essence.So we should not directly burn the leaves instead you should use your heavenly energy as a membrane to do the process.”Mo Qingcheng slowly extracted the essence from the leaves once she extracted the essence the leaf crumbled and turned to powder.

Jiang Chen ”Is that powder useful?”

Mo Qingcheng ”That will be absorbed by cauldron .”

Jiang Chen ”Why is there very less essence in the leaf?”

Mo Qingcheng ”It is how it is? Now you try to extract the essence from root.It is same procedure as for leaf.”

Jiang Chen was able to extract three drops of essence from single root. Mo Qingcheng said that is very good thing .

Jiang Chen ”So each herb or ingredient have limited essence .”

Mo Qingcheng ”That depends on quality of herbs too. The older the herb is more essence it holdsand more purer.”

Mo Qingcheng ”Now next step is to crush the seeds and bark to powder.”

Jiang Chen ”Do we need fire energy for that?”

Mo Qingcheng ”Yes. Because there is dew present in this items we need to extract the dew away and then grind them using heavenly energy or else we will never be able to do that.”

Mo Qingcheng slowly heated the seeds and separated the dew in it and extracted the powder from it. Jiang Chen followed the lead and did the same with other item.

Mo Qingcheng ” Jiang Chen now is the most crucial step in the process. Next is mixing the ingredients . Then comes crucial pill making process.”

Mo Qingcheng ”It may sound simple but it is nowhere close to that. All the ingredients have their own properties soeach give different reaction to different combination. You should maintain a subtle heat for that too.”

Mo Qingcheng then kept all the items in cauldron and then separated them using heavenly energy. Then she moved beast core essence into it first. There was subtle fire energy surrounding it then she moved the essence of roots to it and there was an explosive reaction and they both started merging forming a more viscous essence. Then she moved barks powder next then she moved leaves essence then and finally seed powder. She then maintained that subtle fire for longer covering the mixture and then separated the viscous mixture into three different parts and surrounded them using a bubble of heaven energy. After over few minutes all the paste dried out and formed three black colored clearing pills there was a dense smell coming from it. Jiang Chen could sure recognize the smell from experience. Mo Qingcheng used her heavenly energy to encase them and slowly kept them in the bottle.

Jiang Chen memorized the process completely.

Mo Qingcheng ”It looked very simple right. But I can make a bet that you won't succeed the first time.”

Jiang Chen felt that it is very much possible. The last process of mixing and pill forming would take more experience to form their own timing and temperature.

Jiang Chen made repeated attempts to make the pills. He repeated extraction ,mixing and making process repeatedly he was never able to get past the stage of mixing easily.

It took him over hundred attempts to make first clearing pill. And since then he has n problem with it.

Mo Qingcheng ”It took you 128 attempts to make your first pill. Not bad.”

Jiang Chen ”How many attempts did you take?”

Mo Qingcheng ”Hmm Clearing pill 33 attempts and absorbing pill 121 attempts.” she said with indifference she don't want to look lesser than Jiang Chen in it so she subtly covered few facts on difficulty of pills made.

Jiang Chen ”I sure got a good guide.” said smugly .

Mo Qingcheng ”Jiang Chen for now continue with martial techniques training we will do next pill after a week.”

Mo Qingcheng ”You should use this opportunity to train in your that unknown attribute.”

Jiang Chen nodded and found his place beside the pond to cultivate and all his weapons are around him acircular formation as he sat down in meditation posture.
