“Father?” Xia Yushan couldn’t help but be curious.
“The boy is cleaning the alchemy cauldron!” Xia Lei finally realized, clicking his tongue in amazement, “Could he truly be an alchemist?”
Xia Lei then explained, “Ordinary mortal alchemists do not clean their cauldrons. After each use, the cauldron inevitably leaves behind impurities, which affect its performance. However, cleaning a cauldron is an extremely complex task. If even a trace of medicinal residue remains, it will affect the quality of the pills. Mortal alchemists simply do not have the methods to clean cauldrons properly; haphazard cleaning could lead to significant problems.”
“I also know a method to clean a cauldron, which I learned from my master, but…”
“But what?” Xia Yushan hurriedly asked.
“But the method I have mastered cannot compare to Ye Wushuang’s method…”
As Xia Lei spoke, in the alchemy room, Ye Wushuang stood before the Jiaolong cauldron, with black or green dregs falling from both the inside and outside.
Xia Lei continued, “A professional’s skill is evident from the first move. This boy has real talent!”
After cleaning the cauldron, Ye Wushuang continued to prepare the medicinal materials, making all the necessary preparations before finally relaxing and sitting cross-legged in front of the cauldron, ready to start alchemy.
This time, Ye Wushuang planned to refine five types of pills.
Three of these are called Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills. These three types of pills are all mortal pills, matching the lower three, middle three, and upper three realms of the physical cultivation stage. These three types of pills are quite common.
The Qi Refining Pill is extremely beneficial for the lower three realms of physical cultivation and can also be taken by Ye Feifei to lay the foundation for martial cultivation.
The Bone Forging Pill is very practical for his current stage.
As for the Inner Essence Pill, it is prepared for the future when he enters the upper three realms.
In addition to these, there are Bone Mending Pills and Beauty Preserving Pills.
The Bone Mending Pill is naturally refined for his third uncle, Ye Qingfeng, who has a broken leg.
The Beauty Preserving Pill is prepared for his mother.
Ye Wushuang in the alchemy room was unaware of the peeping, focusing intently, and began to refine the pills…
Time ticked by, and in the adjacent room, Xia Lei and his daughter Xia Yushan watched Ye Wushuang perform.
After a long while, Xia Yushan felt somewhat bored.
But Xia Lei, on the other hand, looked more and more incredulous and shocked.
“This is impossible, how could this be possible!”
At this moment, Xia Lei muttered to himself.
“Father, what’s wrong again?”
Xia Lei grabbed his daughter’s wrist and said excitedly, “Yushan, you are truly my precious daughter!”
“Ah?”
“The pills refined by this Ye Wushuang, I have observed carefully. The Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills, all three are mortal pills. But this boy’s alchemy techniques, processing, and control of the alchemy fire are unmatched even by me, a first-grade spiritual pill master.”
“Moreover, he asked for three portions of medicinal materials for each pill. If an ordinary mortal alchemist refines them, three portions could produce about ten pills. But this boy… he produced thirty pills!”
“So?” Xia Yushan looked puzzled.
“Do you know what this means?” Xia Lei said excitedly, “Three portions of medicinal materials, if used perfectly, would only produce thirty pills. Generally, it’s common to utilize only one-third. This indicates that… Ye Wushuang has reached a perfect level of medicinal material utilization. Not to mention me, even my master could not achieve this!”
Although Xia Yushan did not understand the art of alchemy, she understood at this moment.
Ye Wushuang is not only capable of alchemy but is also a prodigy in it?
