Ye Xingchen’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately led the two girls forward with quick steps.
Where Qizai’s sword tip pointed, a dazzling sea of butterfly-shaped flowers swayed gracefully in the breeze.
Their translucent petals shimmered with iridescence in the dim light, and with every gentle gust of wind, the entire flowerbed appeared as a flock of spiritual butterflies poised for flight, making it difficult to discern whether they were flowers or actual butterflies.
‘Phantom Butterfly Orchids?!’ Mu Wanqing instinctively rubbed her eyes.
The swaying petals truly left butterfly-like afterimages on her retina, and even the air itself glowed with a hazy phosphorescence.
“This appears to be a raw material for advanced mana recovery potions, something mentioned in our Potionology class.” As a researcher of alchemy, Ye Xingchen recalled the descriptions from ancient texts.
This herb was exceedingly rare; if sold, it could potentially alleviate his current financial strain.
Although he managed Su Liyue’s allowance, a girl’s daily expenses were naturally higher.
Su Liyue’s eyes sparkled brightly as she gazed at the Phantom Butterfly Orchids, which unfurled before her like a celestial river.
These rare spiritual herbs glowed with a dreamy blue-violet luminescence in the gloom, each blossom’s petals resembling a butterfly poised for flight, gently swaying with every subtle current of air.
She knelt down, her fingertips delicately brushing the nearest blossom, and immediately, tiny specks of light drifted from its stamens, tracing ethereal luminous trails in the air.
‘We’re going to be rich…’ she murmured softly, already calculating in her mind.
This patch of Phantom Butterfly Orchids contained at least a hundred plants.
At a market price of one gold coin per plant, it would be enough to purchase a considerable amount of materials and ores required for alchemy.
If they were refined into advanced recovery potions, the profits could triple.
Perhaps they might even get the chance to witness what treasures awaited at this world’s magic auctions.
It wasn’t just the Phantom Butterfly Orchids; this hidden realm was practically a natural medicinal garden!
Su Liyue’s gaze swept rapidly across the flora, her pupils brightening with each rare herb she identified—a distinct gleam in the eyes of an alchemist discovering prime materials.
‘Qingqing, look!’ She knelt down, gently touching a plant whose leaves shimmered with a metallic luster.
‘This is Azure Crystal Grass. Potionology class taught that it only thrives where mana veins are exceptionally dense.’
Nearby, clusters of crystalline mushrooms slowly opened and closed their caps, each pulsation releasing starlit spores into the air.
She exclaimed excitedly, “Over there are Underworld Flowers, essential for crafting the Nine-Reincarnation Soul Revival Pill! And hidden in the rock crevices is Crimson Flame Moss, which enhances fire resistance! And then…” Her voice abruptly trailed off.
If these herbs were to be refined into pills using Ye Xingchen’s unique immortal cultivation physique and alchemy techniques, their effects and value would be vastly different, far surpassing ordinary recovery potions.
It was crucial to understand that the world’s medicinal herbs were inherently treasures of heaven and earth, possessing incredibly diverse applications.
If their medicinal properties could be maximized and applied in the most appropriate contexts, their therapeutic value would not merely double, but multiply exponentially!
The art of potion refining, much like medical treatment, involved countless intricacies.
While various potion combinations could address specific ailments, the true efficacy of different formulations depended entirely on the skill of the refiner.
As an immortal cultivator, Ye Xingchen might not have been considered top-tier in the world of potion refining, yet he had conducted considerable research into the discipline alongside his Master.
Ever since he had transmigrated into this wondrous magical world, delving into the study of alchemy had become one of his crucial subjects.
This was akin to traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, each possessing its unique marvels.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasized observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation, utilizing various natural herbs to gradually regulate the body.
Western medicine, conversely, relied on advanced instruments and chemical agents to swiftly resolve illnesses.
Neither could definitively be deemed superior to the other; the crux lay in the user’s ability to apply them skillfully.
Ye Xingchen believed that the same principle applied to potion refining.
With this thought in mind, Ye Xingchen retrieved a preservation bottle for herbs from his storage ring.
This item was far from inexpensive; in fact, Ye Xingchen had crafted it himself using alchemy to save money.
Its efficacy far surpassed that of cheaper alternatives, and crucially, its production cost was remarkably low.
