Chapter 283 Refining Pills
Leng Yun looked up and saw a beautiful figure in purple sitting on the roof beam.
The moonlight, as if washed clean, gently shone on Murong Qin, adding a layer of mystery to her beauty.
Her already fair skin appeared even whiter and more translucent under the moonlight, and two shallow dimples graced her face.
Murong Qin only showed such a gentle expression when facing Leng Yun.
"Qin'er? What are you doing here?" Leng Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.
Murong Qin's face suddenly turned slightly red, and she said playfully, "Let's admire the moon!"
After saying that, she jumped down from the roof beam, like a celestial maiden, with a faint purple light, and landed in front of Leng Yun.
Immediately, a strange fragrance wafted into Leng Yun's nostrils, making her completely intoxicated.
"You want to refine pills?" Murong Qin asked, her eyes fixed on Leng Yun's pill-refining furnace, revealing a hint of naivety.
Leng Yun smiled inwardly. It seemed that only when the two of them were alone could Murong Qin let go of her coldness and even become warm.
"Yes, I'm going to refine a very special pill, but it will be very useful to me." Leng Yun unconsciously let down his guard.
Murong Qin nodded and sat down next to Leng Yun.
Seeing Leng Yun standing there dumbfounded, Murong Qin said, "You go ahead and refine the pills, I'll just watch from the sidelines."
Leng Yun was both amused and exasperated, never expecting that she would have an audience member.
This was the first time he had ever refined an experience pill, and he didn't know if he would succeed. The system's alchemy furnace could only help Leng Yun easily refine ordinary worldly pills.
As for experience pills, Leng Yun has to rely more on his own strength.
Thinking of this, Leng Yun couldn't help but worry. If this failed, would he lose face in front of Murong Qin?
"Brother Yun, what are you thinking about?" Murong Qin asked curiously.
"N-nothing," Leng Yun replied somewhat embarrassedly.
Then, Leng Yun exhaled a long breath and took out all the medicinal materials needed to refine the experience pill from the system space.
Experience pills are also divided into grades: 3x, 5x, and 10x. The higher the grade of the experience pill, the more difficult it is to refine, and the medicinal materials are things that Leng Yun has never heard of before.
The current 3x experience pill is the simplest type.
"Alright, let's start refining the pills," Leng Yun muttered to himself.
"Ding! System alchemy furnace limitation: you can only refine experience pills once a month."
The system notification sounded in Leng Yun's mind again.
Leng Yun was taken aback: "Only once a month? What kind of rule is that? Is the alchemy furnace too bad?"
He jokingly attributed the blame to the alchemy furnace, but upon closer examination, it wasn't entirely unreasonable. The system couldn't provide something as miraculous as experience pills like regular medicine.
With that in mind, Leng Yun threw the first medicinal herb into the alchemy furnace.
A yellow flame instantly enveloped the medicinal herbs, and then, a liquid essence slowly flowed from their surface.
Leng Yun stared intently at the alchemy furnace, two flames reflected in his eyes.
The temperature in the room rose considerably, and Murong Qin's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, but she didn't pay any attention to it. Her eyes were fixed on Leng Yun, filled with inexplicable emotions.
Perhaps men who work hard are the most attractive.
Leng Yun was completely unaware of Murong Qin's thoughts.
At this moment, the first medicinal ingredient had been successfully refined. A drop of blue liquid, surrounded by flames, slowly floated on the edge of the alchemy furnace.
Immediately afterwards, Leng Yun threw in the second medicinal herb. After the second herb also turned into a drop of liquid essence, Leng Yun took out a piece of Ganling Grass.
As soon as the licorice root entered the alchemy furnace, it was immediately surrounded by yellow flames.
However, to Leng Yun's surprise, the Ganling Grass was extremely difficult to refine. Despite the intense Five Elements Fire, the Ganling Grass remained almost unchanged.
After a long time, the surface of the licorice root appeared somewhat damp, and a wisp of water mist slowly oozed out.
With a thought, Leng Yun increased the power of the flames, raising their strength to the highest level.
The temperature inside the room instantly became scorching. Murong Qin had to use her purple fist energy to surround her entire body in order to withstand such high temperatures.
She didn't speak, but just quietly watched Leng Yun from behind.
Even the surrounding air seemed distorted, and the furniture in the room bore signs of burning.
Even so, the changes in Ganlingcao were still slow.
"This Ganling Grass is indeed a divine object, so difficult to refine. It seems that experience pills are indeed hard to make," Leng Yun sighed inwardly.
Time passed slowly, and the only sound in the room was the burning of the flames, as if time was quietly burning away.
Under such intense heat, the licorice finally underwent a change; the moisture that flowed from its veins condensed into a tiny drop of liquid.
Leng Yun kept the flame at its strongest, which took a huge toll on him, and he had already swallowed two Qi-raising pills.
At this moment, Leng Yun was a little anxious. Experience pills could only be refined once a month. If this attempt failed, there would be no time to use the experience pills to level up before the King of Boxing Tournament!
He even regretted his haste; he should have waited until he understood the situation before starting to refine the pills, or at least waited for the green light of the Everlasting Life Stone to fully recover.
Now, the green light of the Everlasting Life Stone has just been absorbed by the Sweet Spirit Grass, which means that Leng Yun has lost a means of restoring his power.
However, there's no turning back once the arrow is released. Since it has already begun, Leng Yun has no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
Thinking of this, Leng Yun gritted his teeth and swallowed two more Qi-Boosting Pills.
Finally, with Leng Yun's persistent efforts, a drop of essence liquid was extracted from the Ganling grass.
The remaining medicinal herbs, in comparison, are much easier to process.
Before long, seven flames appeared in the alchemy furnace, each containing a drop of essence liquid of a different color, which floated gently in the furnace.
The next step, the most important one in alchemy, requires mixing several liquids together.
Leng Yun let out a long sigh of relief, her forehead beaded with sweat from the tension, and she felt a bit thirsty.
Suddenly, a cool sensation came from Leng Yun's forehead, accompanied by a strange fragrance.
It turned out to be Murong Qin, who was carefully wiping the sweat from Leng Yun's forehead with a small handkerchief in her hand.
"Qin'er!" Leng Yun was even a little moved. The Murong Qin he knew had never been such a gentle person.
Murong Qin was blushing, her head lowered, shyly wanting to speak.
Suddenly, the alchemy furnace trembled!
This means that the alchemy is about to fail!
