Well, that’s fine! He would not punish her; he would just give her trouble.

Although she thought this pill prescription was strange, she tried to resolve the conflicting effects, but three days later, she was still unable to find a method to balance those few herbs.

After three days had passed, her master returned.

“Hehe, how was it?” He looked at Feng Jiu with a narrowed-eyed smile, as if he wanted to give her trouble.

“Master, there are several herbs that are incompatible with one another. Disciple tried for three days and couldn’t figure it out. I’m wondering if Master could explain one or two of them.” She asked.

Pill King stroked his beard and nodded at her. “As your master, I naturally have to give advice when you encounter something you don’t understand.” He said as he walked forward with a smile. “This medicinal pill on this prescription is actually an eighth-grade medicinal pill, which is difficult for you, and you probably haven’t refined it yet, have you?”

Feng Jiu shook her head. “No, I haven’t.”

“Hehe, that’s right. There are many spirit herbs in the prescriptions for the eighth-order elixir that are mutually repulsive and conflicting. To refine them, you must first find the right balance of their medicinal effects. Only by resolving the spirit herbs’ counteraction can you have a 50% chance of refining the eighth-grade medicinal pills. The remaining 50% is determined by your control of the flame and familiarity with the spirit herbs.”

He walked over to the table containing the spirit herbs and took two of them. “Look at these two two spirit herbs with opposing properties. Start with these two herbs if you want to use them in a pill. Another approach is to consider whether other spirit herbs can moderate the properties of these two spirit herbs, allowing their opposing characteristics to merge.”

Feng Jiu was taken aback when she heard his explanation. Did this always happen in all prescriptions for eighth-grade medicinal pills? She couldn’t help but look grave when she thought about it. If so, this was the true challenge of alchemy.

Pill King glanced at her and said, “You have to slowly figure out the details on your own. Of course, hearing it from me directly rather than figuring it out on your own would be different.”

He paused and looked fixedly at Feng Jiu with a smile. “But that’s not what I’m going to tell you today,”

“Where does Master want to send me to gain experience?” Feng Jiu asked. She discovered that this elderly man, possibly due to his eccentric nature, enjoyed sending her to different locations through the teleportation array to gain experience.

“Hehehe, you know it well. Master is doing this for your good.” As he talked, he drew an array on the ground. When the teleportation array was completed, he looked at her and said, “The place I sent you last time is a dangerous place. This time, I’ll send you somewhere else!”

“Somewhere else?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows. “Is it still going to be the remote mountains and forests?”

“Hehe, little girl, do you think only a few continents exist in the world? Do you think that you can only gain experience in remote mountains and forests?” He stroked his beard with an unfathomable smile on his face.

“Master may not know, I come from the world of mortals and I have been to many places,” Feng Jiu said, her eyes flashing slightly.

“Is that so?” He chuckled. “Because the world is such a big place, there will always be many places that you are unfamiliar with. I’m sending you somewhere today where you can hone your medical skills. Before you can return, you must heal one hundred critically ill people. Meanwhile, I’ll suppress your strength until the Foundation Building stage.”
