Chapter 30: Configuring Pills

"Master, the medicinal materials you wanted are all prepared." Yang Zhen is the son of Steward Yang. When Su Fan came to Liaodong, he also followed and became Su Fan's steward.

"Collected? Great. Put them all in the alchemy room."

Su Fan's face showed joy upon hearing this.

The medicinal materials for refining the *Small Origin Pill* total over sixty types. Although some don't have high requirements for age, those medicinal materials are very rare.

Some grow in uninhabited mountain forests all year round and are very difficult to find.

So Su Fan waited for half a year to collect the medicinal materials.

After Yang Zhen arranged for people to put all the herbs into the alchemy room, Su Fan dismissed everyone, bathed, and came to the alchemy room.

This alchemy room was also specially arranged by Su Fan. Before, Su Fan had been configuring various vitality soups and spirit-nourishing soups, all here.

In the middle of the alchemy room, there is an alchemy furnace. Of course, that is just a decoration. This world is not an immortal cultivation world. Alchemy sounds good, but it is actually just a method of boiling medicine.

Su Fan first processed these herbs. According to the *Small Origin Pill* prescription sent by the Sect Leader, there were also detailed insights left by many people when configuring the *Small Origin Pill*.

Whether it is processing herbs or controlling the heat later, there are detailed explanations.

And Su Fan, in the cheat in his mind, had also experienced countless experiments.

So when he started making it, his heart was calm, and his movements were naturally very fast, without any tension.

When pieces of herbs were processed, he lit the firewood and heated the ceramic jar. He didn't choose those metal furnaces because metal furnaces absorb heat too quickly and dissipate heat too quickly, which is relatively more difficult for controlling the heat.

This medicine refining, although it is not said that it cannot be wrong at all, if it is wrong, the medicinal effect will definitely be lost.

The process of refining medicine is naturally hard, because it requires you to be fully focused and stare at the heat under the ceramic jar, which cannot be too large or too small.

If there were the technology of later generations, then refining medicine might be simpler. After all, later generations can use machines to control the temperature, which is more precise than human control.

The boring and dull fire control, Su Fan had no impatience, just staring at the flame, adding and reducing in this process.

Just like this, the sky gradually darkened, and the ceramic jar slowly cooled down. At this time, the room was already filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance, which made one feel refreshed just by smelling it.

"Done."

Su Fan was full of joy, slowly opening the ceramic jar, and Su Fan saw a layer of amber golden medicinal paste at the bottom of the ceramic jar.

This is the initial appearance of the *Small Origin Pill*.

Dozens of catties of herbs were finally boiled into this thin layer of medicinal paste.

"It should be possible to knead it into four or five *Small Origin Pills*."

Su Fan looked at this layer of amber medicinal paste and thought secretly, slowly pouring the medicinal paste out of the ceramic jar, pouring it into a blue and white porcelain dish, and then taking out the prepared beeswax, digging out a spoonful with a soup spoon, and then sealing it with beeswax.

In this process, Su Fan was very careful, and finally, five *Small Origin Pills* sealed with beeswax were formed.

Five *Small Origin Pills* were already very good. Generally, when they refine them, there are only three or four.

Of course, the amount and age of the herbs they refine don't have Su Fan's sufficiency. This is the power of a "krypton gold" player.

Five *Small Origin Pills*, Su Fan thought about their destination. Fan Ming and Zhang Meng must have one each.

These two followed him to Liaodong and were diligent in Shenyang City, doing very well. Now, after more than a year, three martial arts halls have been opened.

It has become the largest martial arts hall in Shenyang City, and the disciples in the martial arts hall have exceeded one hundred, although most of them have no strength, but there are a dozen elite disciples whose strength is comparable to the outer sect disciples who have entered Huashan for three to five years.

The martial arts taught in the martial arts hall are not internal skills, but external martial arts. External martial arts are easy to learn but difficult to master, easy to enter, but very difficult to practice to a high level.

However, external martial arts are powerful in the early stage, especially those who practice these fist and foot skills. They are far stronger than those who practice internal skills in the early stage.

Just like the Sword Sect and Qi Sect of the Huashan Sect, the Sword Sect, which mainly practices sword techniques in the early stage, is naturally stronger than the Qi Sect, which mainly practices internal skills.

However, in the later stage, it is different. The longer you practice internal skills, the deeper your internal energy, and naturally, the stronger your strength.

Fan Ming and their martial arts hall, Su Fan has already said, recruit people and divide them into two parts: one is those who are older and have no potential, then let them practice external martial arts, which can quickly improve to the third-rate level.

The second is those with good talent and young age, then cultivate them well, and after a certain time, pick them up to this Huashan Branch on Qipan Mountain for further study.

The prosperity of the martial arts hall cannot be separated from the hard work of the two. Su Fan naturally won't forget them, and giving the *Small Origin Pill* to them can also speed up the opportunity for the two to break through to the first-rate level.

Originally, both were at the peak of the second-rate level, and the twelve standard meridians were almost all opened. As long as the small heavenly circuit was completed, the internal energy cultivation would break through to the first-rate level.

Without the *Small Origin Pill*, they could only rely on time to slowly polish it, but the *Small Origin Pill* could speed it up.

The remaining three, Su Fan naturally prepared to consume them himself. One *Small Origin Pill* is almost equivalent to three years of internal energy.

His internal energy cultivation is still a bit short of the second-rate peak. After all, he only opened eleven.

But with these three *Small Origin Pills*, he estimates that one is enough to help him open the twelfth standard meridian. With the last two, he can complete the breakthrough of the small heavenly circuit in one go.

Sending someone to send these two *Small Origin Pills* to Shenyang City.

Su Fan entered a state of seclusion.

He needs to seize the time. In the Jianghu, with the Huashan Sect's conservative retreat, it didn't enter a peaceful state, but instead became more and more intense.

Fighting and slaughtering unfolded everywhere, and the Demonic Cult also slowly entered the struggle at this time, which also made the Jianghu more and more intense.

In this way, the righteous and evil will eventually have a major war. By then, even if the Huashan Sect wants to retreat, I'm afraid it will have nowhere to retreat, unless the Huashan Sect closes the mountain.

But is it possible?

The Huashan Sect's strength is at its peak; it is not that it can close the mountain just because it

But was that even possible?

The Huashan Sect's strength was at its peak; how could it be sealed off just because someone said so?

Once a great war broke out, he did not know the outcome for the Huashan Sect, but judging from the later conclusion, the Huashan Sect's fate was not good.

In *Smiling Proud Wanderer*, the decline of Huashan was caused by the conflict between the Sword and Qi sects, but he had been in the Huashan Sect for seven years now and still had not seen how much strife there really was between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect.

Even if there was any, it was merely competition among the younger generation.

Nothing worth mentioning.
