I Can Extract Everything

This was a trick that Qin Yi created a few days ago to maintain the high purity of the pills.

He purposely inserted a smaller portion of Spirit Grass than he should have and replaced the loss with [Spiritual Energy]. ​​

The Spirit Grass contained almost equal amounts of spiritual energy and impurity. Therefore, if he wanted to raise his spiritual energy concentration a little higher while keeping the impurities as low as possible, he used the power of [Spiritual Energy] from the PowerBox.

At the same time, he also added a larger portion of a Rank 1 heaven and earth material called Purple Zoya Leaf.

That Purple Zoya Leaf is a pure heaven and earth material that did not contain any effects, and it didn\'t even have any impurities.

However, it is an indispensable ingredient for manufacturing every kind of pill because it has the function to act as a supplementary ingredient to materialize a pill.

The [Spiritual Energy] that came from the PowerBox is pure spiritual energy, it didn\'t have a physical form or, in other words, was immaterial.

When Qin Yi reduced the portion of Spirit Grass, it was reasonable to add more Purple Zoya Leaf to make up for the lost portion.

At the same time, he still added the other ingredients in equal or proper proportions, such as Fire Revitalize Weed; it is an ingredient that has a function to burn toxicity of the other ingredients, and the Spring Lotus Seed; it is an ingredient that has a role in weakening impurity of the other ingredients.

An hour later...

Puff-

A puff of white smoke shot out of the Snake Swallowing Cauldron.

The appearance of the white smoke meant that a batch of Qi Strengthening Pill had been successfully produced.

Qin Yi immediately took the pills out of the cauldron.

"System, extract them!"

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 68 Spiritual Energy]

[Obtained 32 Impurity]

[Note: Rank 1 Qi Strengthening Pill contains abundant spiritual energy but still has many impurities. Does the Host want to keep these energies?]

"Oh, it increased by 3%, good! Keep it, system!"

Previously he managed to maintain the purity by 65%, and now it is 68%.

Even though it only improved by a small margin, it was still a nice improvement.

Qin Yi pondered for a while, "Is it possible that I can completely replace the Spirit Grass with the [Spiritual Energy] of the PowerBox?"

In the past few days, even though he found this unique and bold idea, he still didn\'t dare to completely replace the main ingredient of the Qi Strengthening Pill with the [Spiritual Energy] from the PowerBox.

Changing the pill\'s prescription wasn\'t s simple matter.

If he made a mistake, his pill concocting would end in an explosion.

Xue Chan said that ordinary explosions could cause people to suffer minor injuries, and large explosions could even cause people to die on the spot.

This was why Alchemists didn\'t like being bothered when concocting pills because it could harm their precious materials as well as their precious lives.

Qin Yi, a person who doesn\'t like getting hurt, of course, doesn\'t want to take that risk.

Therefore, he only dared to try it little by little.

Even if it exploded, he probably could still tolerate it for a little.

Fortunately, up until now, he had never encountered an explosion while concocting pills. At most, when he made a mistake during concocting, the calamity he created was only a thick and smelly black smoke emitting from the cauldron.

Though, it took some time and effort to drive the smoke out of his cave.

For now, Qin Yi can only do it slowly until he can be entirely sure that he can replace the Spirit Grass with [Spiritual Energy].

"Crap, it\'s time to head to Spirit Flower Peak!"

As Qin Yi suddenly remembered this, he immediately tidied up the mess in his cave.

Heaven~

He was having so much fun in concocting pills that he almost forgot his other responsibilities.

In the past month, apart from diligently practicing pill concocting, he has also been busy and diligent in other things such as practicing archery at the martial arts ground, cultivating the land in the Mystical Garden, and of course, carrying out his mission of guarding the Hundred Flowers Garden at Spirit Flower Peak.

The mission to look after the Hundred Flowers Garden was quite simple and easy, and he didn\'t feel burdened at all by this job.

After all, when he came there, all he did was enter the Mystical Garden and do other things there.

Qin Yi came out of his cave a few minutes later and headed straight for the Spirit Flower Garden.

The sun has almost disappeared below the horizon in the west as the color of the sky has changed from blue to orange to red. It was simply a beautiful panorama.

Spirit Flower Peak is still filled with thousands of colorful flowers, and this picture is no less beautiful than the current panorama of the sky.

No matter how much people look at it, they will not get tired of it.

When Qin Yi arrived at his destination, he was greeted cheerfully by Xue Chan, who seemed to be looking forward to seeing him.

"Brother Qin, you\'ve finally arrived here!"

"Good afternoon, Sister Xue..."

Over the past month, Qin Yi and Xue Chan\'s relationship got better and closer. Even the way they called each other changed and became more intimate from being a fellow Disciple to being a brother and sister.

It was probably because they often discussed and exchanged opinions about Alchemist\'s knowledge, especially pill concocting.

At first, it was just a question-and-answer session where Qin Yi asked, and Xue Chan answered. However, two weeks later, their positions gradually changed to equal and eventually reversed.

Now Xue Chan was asking Qin Yi more questions than answering Qin Yi\'s questions.

Fortunately, she is not a proud and narrow-minded person. In fact, she is happy that someone is willing to guide her on the path of Alchemist.

Even though Xue Chan was shocked by Qin Yi\'s terrifying talent, she knew even if she was envious, she couldn\'t change the situation where Qin Yi was superior to her right now.

So, might as well take this opportunity to consult Qin Yi and learn more from him.

Qin Yi was also not stingy with knowledge.

Since Xue Chan helped him a lot initially, he was naturally willing to help her back to overcome her difficulties in concocting pills and other simple questions.

The Apprentice Alchemist exam held by the Secondary Professional Association is only two months away.

He hoped that he and Xue Chan could take the exam together and also pass together.

Isn\'t that a great ending?

***

Under the moonlight and surrounded by the bright light of the plants in the Hundred Flowers Garden, Xue Chan and Qin Yi were having an Alchemist discussion in the garden hut.

Qin Yi gives tips for successful pill concoction, and Xue Chan occasionally nods as she listens attentively.

Two hours later, they finally ended their discussion.

"Thanks for your pointers, Brother Qin, I gain a lot this time. It\'s time for me to digest them slowly."

"Don\'t say that Sister Xu, you helped me a lot before. It\'s natural for me to help you back."

Xue Chan let out a few pleasantries before she decided to leave. But just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly remembered something.

"That\'s right, I almost forgot to tell you this, Brother Qin..."

"What is it?" Qin Yi tilted his fist in confusion.

Xue Chan said, "Earlier this afternoon, Fellow Disciple Lu told me that he saw Senior Sister Lan just coming out of seclusion…"

"As we already know, Senior Sister Lan plans to remain in seclusion for three months. That is the number of periods we take care of this garden. This morning, she came out for a brief moment and told Fellow Disciple Lu that she would be inspecting the Hundred Flowers Garden tomorrow morning. She will also do this inspection every month."

"So, Fellow Disciple Lu wanted to pass on a message to you through me; he said so that Brother Qin doesn\'t mess up this place tonight. Otherwise, the two of us will be blamed along with Brother Qin."

As she said that, she carefully observed Qin Yi\'s facial expression.
