An Ying had an intriguing look on her eyes, following the previous failure from the right number of medical herbs needed to successfully make a white lotus pill, she didn't expect that she will guess the right number of silver chamomile and four leaves clover.
' No, guess is a bit of understatement, I felt my meditation technique work for a small moment before these two numbers popped up in my mind... As I thought, the meditation technique that I enlightenment has the effect of deducing from facts.
The most likely condition is a need for answers and knowledge about the subject in question. Going from this logic, if I want to know what the ratio of medicine is in order not to waste any herb... '
In that moment, An Ying felt her meditation technique running, and an answer was present in her mind.
* Three white lotus, 12 dark roots, 5 silver chamomile, and 5 four leaves clover *
An Ying had a surprised look on her eyes. She felt her meditation technique run in her mind and her spiritual power being used.
In the fondation building stage, the cultivator doesn't have access to his sea of consciousness but he can use his spiritual powers in order to cast any spell, so a meditation technique is always needed in order to use more spiritual power, after all, the qi can't be manipulated without an adequate amount of spiritual power. In the beginning, the cultivator will only have a rough idea about what kind of form the meditation technique takes within the sea of consciousness. They can't do much with their spiritual power.
For An Ying, her spiritual power is far higher than the average.
Normally, the spiritual power of someone in the six level of fondation building is 110 point, with a growing 5 point in the qi gathering realm and 10 point in the fondation building realm, so a peak fondation building will have 140 point in spiritual power. But An Ying's meditation technique was trained till the peak, so she earned far more in terms of spiritual power.
As such, An Ying spiritual power is 500 points in her current realm with an increase of 50 points with each future breakthrough. She could rival mid-qi refining stage cultivator, or known as golden pill stage.
It was also the reason why she was able to train her technique to the peak.
The difference between her and other cultivators besides her dual high grade spirit roots of yin and fire is her immense spiritual power talent.
Breaking away from her amazement, An Ying used the ratio that she deduced thanks to her mediation technique and refined the white lotus pill.
This time, in just under one minute, five white lotus pills with a greater potency laid in her claudron.
She quickly took one out for inspection and was extremely pleased with the potency of the qi emanating from it, if the previous white lotus pill's value was higher than three other pills, than this one is higher than five other white lotus pills.
An Ying had a strong feeling that when she began practicing the white jade body tempering technique, she would quickly advance and reach the peak.
Taking an impty bottle that could hold up to ten pills, she put the five pills inside and began a new round pill refining. Soon, the number of high quality pill began to increase, and so was the number of bottle making in the end, 13 bottles of pills, and fully exhausting all the medical materials that Su Ling brought over for the white lotus pill.
An Ying has decided to take a one hour break before beginning to practice the white jade body tempering technique.
' - Sigh -, to be a good alchemist is sure difficult and expensive, and an inherentence is needed to become a level 3 alchemist. The medical herbs will have a special kind of qi at that level, which will need a special way to deal with them in order to refine them into pills.
But now, I will need money, good thing I have a habit of stoking qi gathering pills in case I will need to cash them. '
An Ying took out ten pill bottles before she turned around and gave them to Su Ling.
" Su Ling, take this qi gathering pills down to the alchemy hall and sell them. "
" Yes, Lady An Ying." Su Ling didn't waste a moment before she took over the task.
" And Su Ling... On your way back, I want you to check on the results of the law enforcement. " Said An Ying after a little though while handing her three additional pill bottles.
Taking the hidden message, Su Ling bowed her head and left.
' The law enforcement can be a nuisance sometimes, but it's better if I leave a gift here and there just in case. ' An Ying thought to herself while reviewing all the knowledge points of the white jade body tempering technique.
A technique that tempere the body and make the skin as white as jade, in the peak, a special jade qi will be produced that will constantly temper the body and have a small healing effect, it main ability is reflected on the defensive side.
The way to practice is to take the qi from the white lotus pill and circulate it in tandem with the white jade body diagram that focuses mainly on the skin.
The qi of the pill will then meet several body impurities, and then the process of expelling them and tempering the new skin will begin.
In order to reach the peak realm, the skin needs to be free from all of the impurities and the skin needs to be completely tampered, from then on practicing the white jade body tempering technique will make the skin transform the qi outside of the body into a special jade qi with the ability to defend and heal.
' So the main point is expelling all the impurities and tempering the skin. It shouldn't take long before I found them all. ' With that mentality, An Ying took her first white jade pill,her mind calm and focused.
Although the requirements are easy, she knows that haste and underestimating the task could be fatal.
Soon An Ying felt the effect on the pill. Several strands of white lotus qi were trying to rage within her own body. But she was already collected and used her own spiritual power to control them and have them follow the pathways on the diagram. It didn't take long for An Ying to find her first impurities.
' As I thought, each qi have something that they deemed as impurities, that's also the reason why not all the techniques are compatible. For the white lotus qi, the things they deemed as impurities are dead skins, malignant skins, scars... But now, I know where to find them so I can easily expelle them from my body. '
With a clear goal, An Ying immediately began to peal and push all the impurities out from her pores, taking one pill after the other. The process was like being continually picked by needles all over her body.
While she is training herself, Su Ling has finished her errand and moved to the secret contact location with one of the captains of the law enforcements.
" Good evening, captain Seven ! " Greated Su Ling politely although there was no one there, " Lady An Ying felt your hardworking attitude towards the one who tried to harm her brother and present you with three pill bottles for your perseverance. " Su Ling put the bottle on a hidden place on the ground before leaving with small steps.
It was only five minutes later that a man clad in black appeared from the shadows. He took a peak at the pills before taking them writing a letter. < As long as it's not excessive, give face to lady An Ying's subordinates. >
What An Ying didn't know was that one of her subordinates was a spy from the pale demon sect who practiced a demonic technique and the liniacy in the search was the only thing that made her identity remains hidden.
