Chapter 11: 11. Ugly Elixir
Of course, most people would choose to contract fire-attributed demon beasts, because after a human contracts with a demon beast, the contract beast's skills and flames can be freely used by the owner...
And abnormal fires belong to the category of genius Earth Treasures, which are virtually impossible to find. Even if one is found, one must have the ability to subdue the abnormal fire. If things go wrong, instead of subjugating the abnormal fire, one might get burned to ashes...
Another major factor is that special professions like alchemists, artifact refiners, beast tamers, and array masters must have strong soul power. Only with strong soul power can they become those various high-level masters...
Moreover, soul power is basically innate, and it is extremely difficult to improve it later in life. Because every strain of medicinal material for refining pills that enhance soul power is a genius Earth Treasure, they are extremely rare. As for the Soul Condensing Pill that can enhance soul power, it is an eighth-grade elixir that can only be refined by a high-level alchemist...
Anyway, according to Mo Jiuli's memory, there has never been a Soul Condensing Pill on Lingtian Continent. It is not because there are no high-level alchemists on Lingtian Continent, but because no one can find all the necessary medicinal materials to refine the Soul Condensing Pill...
Thus, in this world, the ratio between Dark Cultivators and pill refiners is extremely unbalanced, around one in five hundred thousand...
If a family produces an alchemist or an artifact refiner, they are regarded as national treasures and are given priority in cultivation...
However, while there may not be many other things in this world, there are many people. Despite such harsh conditions, many people still become alchemists and artifact refiners. This is because Mo Jiuli knows that on Lingtian Continent, there are Alchemist Associations, Artifact Refiner Associations, and Beast Tamer Associations...
These forces are highly respected on Lingtian Continent, and they are treated like crown princes wherever they go, with people fawning over them and few daring to offend them...
"Soul power, huh?" Mo Jiuli looked at the flame at the bottom of the tripod and muttered to herself. For someone who had traveled across from the modern world, soul power shouldn't be too difficult, right?...
With this thought, she followed the Heavenly Book's instructions, and a thread of soul power flowed out, slowly controlling the flames. Then she threw the medicinal materials in sequence into the tripod, starting the slow process of refining, purification, and ultimately elixir condensing...
Although it was her first time refining a pill, Mo Jiuli's demeanor looked very composed. Someone in the Heavenly Book saw her refining and couldn't help but sneer, betting that this little girl would fail her first attempt...
As if to answer its thoughts, the Little Red Tripod trembled slightly, and a soft "bang..." sound came from within.
Someone inside the Heavenly Book laughed. It just knew that Mo Jiuli was only pretending to know how to refine pills, and she wasn't being serious. If she did not fail, it would be strange. However, as soon as it saw Mo Jiuli's next action, the smile on its face froze...
Mo Jiuli calmly reached out her hand, grabbing a bunch of stuff from within the Little Red Tripod. After blowing away the pitch-dark medicinal residue, she was left with five pitted and pockmarked red elixirs — the Marrow Cleansing Pills...
"So ugly, so few..." Mo Jiuli frowned.
She disdainfully tossed the few ugly elixirs to the side...
Hearing this, someone inside the Heavenly Book became uneasy. Wasn't this little girl a piece of trash? How did she suddenly refine elixirs so quickly...?
And she had managed to refine five at once! Even though it had been traversing the universe for countless years, traveling through many worlds along with the Heavenly Book, it had never encountered a person who could successfully refine five Marrow Cleansing Pills on their first attempt...
It should be known that although the Marrow Cleansing Pill is a low-level elixir, it is one of the most difficult elixirs to refine, as the Marrow Cleansing Pill, true to its name, is meant for transforming one's constitution. Those seemingly ordinary medicinal materials, every strain of them has extremely potent effects, and it is not easy to refine them into pills...
Moreover, the recipe for the Marrow Cleansing Pill has been long lost, only recorded in the Heavenly Book and nowhere else. So, it never expected Mo Jiuli to succeed on her first attempt...
Hehe, this time, it was really lucky! This little girl is simply born to be an alchemist! With her, won't there be a chance in the future to walk out of this Heavenly Book? Ah, just thinking about it makes it so exciting...
Unknowingly, its eyes in the Heavenly Book watching Mo Jiuli were filled with pink bubbles...
Luckily, Mo Jiuli doesn't know about its existence right now, otherwise she would be scared to death by its pink gaze...
Mo Jiuli picked up another small apple and ate it while recalling the steps of her just-made elixir. She remembered the changes of the medicinal materials inside the alchemy tripod...
In her previous life, she was a surgeon, but no one knew that traditional Chinese medicine was actually her forte. In her past life, she had an extraordinary talent that she stumbled upon...
It was due to this talent that she became a legend in the medical field of her past world. Otherwise, why could she cure the illnesses that others couldn't and succeed in surgeries that others could not?
It was because she had a special perception of medicinal materials. When she first started learning medicine, she discovered her uniqueness. Be it Chinese medicine pills, western medicine tablets, or capsules, as long as she held them in her hand, or took a close look or sniff, she could clearly sense the medicinal properties and dosage...
In the era of the 21st century, when fake medicines were rampant and counterfeit drugs were everywhere, if it weren't for her unique perception of medicine, no matter how many degrees she had, she wouldn't have been that capable...
It was precisely because of her unique perception of medicine that she could accurately diagnose and prescribe treatment in both surgery and therapy. This was the main reason for her unparalleled position in the medical field of her past life...
Otherwise, think about it: If someone had a serious illness, they would definitely need treatment to determine whether they were beyond help or could still be saved...
But after doctors accurately diagnosed the illness, they would only prescribe corresponding medicine, without knowing the patient's reactions after taking the drugs. The results were only known after the patients finished their medications...
Even drugs produced by the same manufacturer and of the same brand couldn't be completely identical...
If the patient's condition worsened after taking the medicine, it meant they were beyond help. If it improved, it meant they could still be saved. All doctors, except for Mo Jiuli, could only treat patients based on their reactions to the drugs...
However, due to Mo Jiuli's unique perception of medicine, she could predict the patients' reactions to the drugs as soon as she got them. This undoubtedly made her indefinitely ahead of her peers in the medical field...
But to prevent herself from being caught and treated as a research subject, Mo Jiuli cleverly hid her talent. As a result, in her previous life, she was nothing more than a divine doctor in people's eyes...
