Chapter 44: Successful Refining of the Pills

After all, during this period, ever since the numerous disciples of Wudang Mountain began practicing the new version of the basic internal cultivation technique, the demand for Blood and Qi Pills had increased drastically.

It had been causing him, as the Sect Leader, a real headache for a long time.

Even though Wudang Mountain had collected a large amount of raw materials for refining Blood and Qi Pills, alchemists were simply too scarce.

As the Sect Leader of Wudang Mountain, no matter how anxious he felt, it was useless.

After all, although his martial arts were exceptional, he Ultimately did not know how to refine pills.

Lin Yang nodded gently: “Sect Uncle, I do have a few thoughts.

However, whether it can be done still requires some experimentation.”

“Good, good, good! It’s enough that you have an idea!” Song Yuanqiao nodded with excitement.

Based on his understanding of Lin Yang, as long as he voiced an idea, it was practically as good as done.

“Whatever support you need from your Sect Uncle, just speak up.

I will immediately send people to take care of it!”

Lin Yang nodded gently and took a step forward to the desk, writing down over a dozen medicinal herbs on top of it.

This was the formula for Blood and Qi Pills that he had contemplated all along the way.

Different from the Blood and Qi Pills he had refined for himself previously, this batch added herbs to stimulate spleen and stomach digestion on top of his original recipe.

After all, not everyone possessed the traits granted by the Scholar System on their bodies.

When digesting Blood and Qi Pills, if these herbs were not added, ordinary disciples would have to spend much more effort to refine them.

At the same time, a moment of carelessness could easily cause injury to their bodies.

“Sect Uncle Leader, this is the Blood and Qi Pill formula I came up with!”

Song Yuanqiao took a glance at the formula Lin Yang wrote down.

Although he did not know whether this formula was appropriate or not, he still nodded approvingly.

“Good, not bad, this formula works.

I will mobilize these herbs for you right away.

What else do you need?

Just tell your Sect Uncle.”

“Then I must trouble Sect Uncle to assign another twenty disciples to me.

Also, some corresponding tools for processing medicinal herbs, and a relatively secluded location.

I need to conduct a few tests.

If the tests succeed, I will give Sect Uncle an accurate and actionable plan when the time comes.”

“Good, no problem.

Then we’ll have to trouble Nephew Qingyang next.” Song Yuanqiao clapped his hands and agreed on the spot.

Following that, he immediately arranged the disciples and other supplies for Lin Yang.

In passing, he found a relatively secluded and open plot of flat land in the back mountain of Wudang.

Song Qingshu followed Lin Yang to the flat land.

Standing in front of them were twenty Wudang disciples.

Beside them lay a dozen stuffed baskets of raw herbs, as well as a large quantity of processing tools.

“Junior Brother Qingyang, what do we do next?

Just give the order, your Senior Brother will definitely support you properly.”

Saying this, Song Qingshu began rubbing his hands together.

Regarding the task assigned by his father to assist Lin Yang in refining pills, Song Qingshu was looking forward to it immensely.

Lin Yang glanced at him, smiled slightly, and then briefly inspected the herbs provided by Song Yuanqiao.

Finding that the herbs basically met his requirements, he nodded: “Senior Brother Song, let’s divide into groups now.

You and I will oversee the whole process together.

Each of the remaining disciples will be responsible for one type of herb, while the rest will fill in the gaps.

We need to process these herbs first, either decocting them into a paste or grinding them into powder.

After all of them are fully processed, we will perform the final integration.”

“Junior Brother Qingyang, what you said makes sense! Just give the instructions now, how do we do it?” Song Qingshu nodded immediately.

He didn’t care about the details of what Lin Yang said.

All he wanted was to start working right away.

Relying on his understanding of Lin Yang, he had already begun looking forward to the praise he would receive from his father after the new Blood and Qi Pills were successfully refined.

Seeing this, Lin Yang smiled and simply refrained from explaining the principles of refining Blood and Qi Pills to them, giving orders directly to everyone instead.

Thus, Song Qingshu along with the twenty disciples immediately scattered to perform pre-processing on the dozen or so types of medicinal herbs.

Using tools such as planes, they performed preliminary processing on these herbs.

Three days later, the dozen stuffed baskets of herbs previously brought over turned into a dozen pre-processed samples in front of Lin Yang.

Lin Yang prepared a large pot, pouring in a generous amount of honey to boil.

Only when the honey began to form dense, small bubbles did he pour in these processed herbs one by one according to sequence and fixed proportions.

All the herbs were mixed together, forming a large pot of medicinal paste.

After waiting for it to cool down, Lin Yang gently scooped a tiny bit into his mouth.

Upon savoring it carefully, he nodded thoughtfully.

The part among these herbs responsible for converting into Blood and Qi actually originated from the Blood and Qi Pills he refined for himself.

In this regard, there were no issues.

The remaining part was meant to assist ordinary disciples in refining and absorbing the Blood and Qi Pills.

This part still required some minor adjustments.

Even so, this pot of Blood and Qi Pills was actually considered a success.

It was just not that perfect yet.

Therefore, Lin Yang brewed a second pot, and then a third pot, making different degrees of adjustments with each pot.

When the third pot of herbs was fully decocted, Lin Yang tried a tiny sample, nodded slightly, and looked at the surrounding expectant disciples with a smile: “We succeeded.”

“Really?” Song Qingshu’s eyes lit up.

He leaned over, imitating Lin Yang by dipping a tiny bit of the medicinal paste from the pot and putting it into his mouth.

He closed his eyes to savor it carefully.

Before long, his complexion began to flush red, and dense beads of sweat began to seep from his face and forehead.

After a moment, Song Qingshu opened his eyes and let out a long breath: “This medicinal potency is so strong! It’s much better than the Blood and Qi Pills refined on Wudang Mountain before! That’s wonderful, we succeeded!” Song Qingshu jumped up and down in excitement.

Lin Yang smiled and waved his hand: “Prepare the tools, roll all this medicinal paste into pills, and then wax-seal them.

We can go hand in our task now.”

The surrounding disciples let out a cheer, bringing out the pill-rolling tools prepared long ago to roll all the medicinal paste into pills.

Then, a portion of the disciples began melting beeswax to wax-seal these rolled pills.

On the other side, Lin Yang took the paper prepared in advance and wrote down the entire refining process of the Blood and Qi Pills.

He then accompanied Song Qingshu to the Zhenwu Main Hall.

In the alcove of the Zhenwu Main Hall, they once again saw Song Yuanqiao, who was still busy with work.

Seeing the two walk in, especially seeing Song Qingshu’s thrilled face, Song Yuanqiao’s eyes lit up immediately.

He waved his hand to dismiss all the Wudang disciples who were still reporting their work.

“How is it?

Are there results?” Song Yuanqiao stood up, looking at Lin Yang with an expectant gaze.

On the side, Song Qingshu nodded heavily.

Taking a step forward, he drew out several newly refined Blood and Qi Pills from his robe and placed them on Song Yuanqiao’s desk: “Father! We succeeded! These pills are better than all those previous Blood and Qi Pills on our Wudang Mountain! Take a look!”

Song Yuanqiao looked with gleaming eyes at the few freshly wax-sealed pills on the table.
