C9 Apothecary

The next morning, before dawn... Nie Zhen started his training plan once again.

After the cultivation within the Martial Child Academy and his battle with Jin Chen, Nie Zhen had triggered some opportunities. His cultivation had now reached the level of a level seven martial arts student.

Right now, his cultivation level was already different, so the contents of his training were also different.

Before the sky brightened every day, Nie Zhen was carrying two hundred kilograms of gunny sacks on his back. Aside from Guiyan City, he went outside of Yan Mountain and arrived at the peak of Yan Mountain. Right now, it was already sunrise, so Nie Zhen seized the opportunity to cultivate his own Asura Pupil Technique and then went down the mountain to return to Guiyan City. This time, it would take four hours.

Then, before noon, Nie Zhen would continue to train his physical fitness, such as moving the 500 kg stone lock. In the afternoon, Nie Zhen would train his own martial arts just like before, because he could also train his own physique while practicing martial arts.

But after dinner, before he started cultivating the Asura Divine Spell, Nie Zhen had another project. Because of this project, Nie Zhen specially took the time to go to Nie Family's medicine garden.

There were a lot of industries in Guiyan City, other than countless good farms, there were also industry, medicine industry, real estate, animal husbandry and so on.

One of them was a medicine store that was refined into medicinal pellets, which mainly sold pellets to the outside world. The other was the medicine garden, which was used to grow medicinal herbs, and the medicine shop with Nie Family, which was one of the main sources of purchase for the Nie Family, which was also the Nie Family medicine garden. Furthermore, the other medicine stores would also sell medicinal pellets like the Nie Family medicine garden.

Nie Zhen went to the Nie Family medicine garden this time to buy three types of herbs: Heavenly Cold Grass, Flame Flower and Blood Clotting Grass, which were the main three herbs used in the Nie Family, and were mainly used to cure the fever and ulcers, while Raging Flames Flower was a hot herb used to treat the wind and cold. As for the Blood Clotting Grass, it could be refined into a kind of liquid medicine called Blood Clotting Dew, which, if there was any injury, could help the wounds to stop bleeding and at the same time help the wounds to heal.

"Young Master Nie, you want ten of each Frozen Grass, Flaming Flower, and Blood Clotting Grass, right? After a while, I've already sent orders to the servants, but Young Master, the Freezing Sky Grass and Blazing Flame Flower that you need are mutually exclusive, please don't use them together … …" The person in charge of the garden saw that Nie Zhen wanted the herbs, so he did it without hesitation. However, due to professional conduct, he still paid special attention to Nie Zhen's herbs' medicinal properties.

Nie Zhen nodded his head, indicating that he understood. After the people in the medicine garden gave these three herbs to Nie Zhen, Nie Zhen took the herbs and went straight to the medicine store in Nie Family. He then asked the people in the medicine store for ten Danyang Pills.

Dan Yang Pills were a type of medicine that strengthened the body and the body. Cultivators usually did not need to use them to strengthen the body, but for ordinary people, those who were born weak would use Dan Yang Pills to strengthen the body and strengthen the body. This was a type of tonic.

If he were to go to his own medicine garden or medicine store to get something, it would be equivalent to taking something from his own house. Naturally, he wouldn't have to pay anything, and even if Nie Zhen wanted to give something, the other party wouldn't dare to take it.

Nie Zhen returned to his room after collecting the materials. He made a copper cauldron and mashed the herbs before stuffing them into the copper cauldron. Then, he started a fire and refined the herbs into a dark green medicinal liquid.

Then, Nie Zhen told the servants to prepare a large bowl of water. Then, Nie Zhen dripped the entire liquid into the water jar and stirred it thoroughly.

At this time, Nie Zhuang came to Nie Zhen's room. After all, Nie Zhen wanted both the medicinal and the medical pills. According to the usual practice, the people below would also report to Nie Zhuang.

"Little Zhen, what the heck is with you …" Nie Zhen looked at the liquid mixed with medicine and felt a bit disgusted, but he was still calm as he asked Nie Zhen.

Father, this is a body refining medicinal liquid, I am not sure the name is on, I saw it in an ancient book, but we don't have the materials yet, so I found some herbs with the same characteristics, tonight I want to try it, if the effects are good, I will make one for you later, soaking it in water for an hour every day, it will be beneficial for your own cultivation. Nie Zhen replied.

Nie Zhen's words were half true and half false. It was true that this medicinal liquid had such an effect, and Nie Zhen did find a herb with the same effect to refine it. What's false is that this ancient book was not something he had seen in his current life, but something he learned in his previous life.

In his previous life, Nie Zhen had also been good at making pills and had also refined some of them, including this solution. Now that his cultivation had reached the level of a level seven martial arts student, he had reached the stage suitable for this solution.

"Little Zhen, you even know how to refine medicine?" Nie Zhuang looked at Nie Zhen as if he had discovered a new continent.

Nie Zhen casually nodded and said: "During Martial Child Academy, when I have nothing better to do, I just learned a little. I can't say that I'm good at it, but more or less, I know a little."

Nie Zhuang asked anxiously, "That is to say, you know how to refine all the adult medicines and elixirs in the medicine store?"

Nie Zhen said casually, "I know a little, but the pills in our medicine store can't be considered to be anything special. After they're dried with some herbs, we usually mix them with some of them. It's not like we're refining pills."

In Nie Zhen's previous life, there was an important dividing line between being an alchemist and not being an alchemist was whether or not one could refine medicinal herbs into pills.

But in the Nie Family medicine store, there were actually no such formed medicinal pellets, even people like the Pill Yang Pills were only smelt the medicinal ingredients and turned them into balls. This could not be considered a medicinal pellet, in terms of medicinal properties, it was not even a tenth of the medicinal pellets.

A true alchemist or pharmacist would be able to refine several different types of ingredients into a pill, and their effects would be multiplied by several times or even several dozen times over.

"Is this not pill refining?!" Little Zhen, you must know that only those apothecaries have the means to fuse with several types of medicinal herbs! "Could it be that you are already …" Nie Zhuang was much more excited than Nie Zhen had imagined.

Nie Zhen, on the other hand, looked at Nie Zhuang with suspicion. He felt that Nie Zhuang had overreacted. Although he didn't know many people in his previous life, this was only because everyone thought that martial arts was the most important thing, so he gave up concocting pills.

Of course, there was nothing absolute in this world. As far as he knew, there was a girl in his previous life who was born with extraordinary talent for alchemy. She was known to be the Pill Emperor among the group of six.

It turned out that in this world, alchemists and alchemists were even rarer than in his previous life. If one knew how to refine alchemy, although it wasn't as respected as one's martial arts cultivation, their status was still very high, and many people, in the eyes of Nie Zhen, were so-called alchemists who could mix a few non-conflicting herbs into a bowl of water, and were specially recruited as doctors by the royal family. As for the alchemists that Nie Zhen knew, perhaps only the legendary Spirit Realm sects like Duobao Sect would have them.

If one day you meet a bottleneck in your martial path, you can try to become a pill refiner and you will still receive respect. After all, even if you are a Human Stage expert, there will still be times when you need medicinal pellets. If you need any medicinal ingredients in the future, you can go to your own medicine garden and take them as you wish. Nie Zhuang patted Nie Zhen's shoulder in gratitude. He only found out today that his son had talent in alchemy, which made him elated. He even felt that the future of Nie Clan wouldn't be too bleak.

Even if Nie Family was relatively weak in the area of martial arts, if Nie Zhen could one day have some achievements in the way of alchemy, he would also be taken care of by the Yutang Country Royal Family.

Nie Zhuang left Nie Zhen's room with a smile, then he told the person in charge of the medicine garden and the medicine store that in the future, whatever the young master wanted, he would give to him as much as he wanted. There was no need to report every time.

As Nie Zhen watched Nie Zhuang leave with a smile, he finally realized that the demand for medicinal pills in this world was much stronger than in his previous life. As far as the demand for medicinal pills in the ordinary mortal kingdom was concerned, among the martial institutions where cultivators were prevalent, alchemists were also very popular. After all, in this world, there were far too few talented alchemists compared to his previous life.

However, Nie Zhen didn't think about using alchemy to gain respect and recognition. Whether it was in his previous life or this life, for Nie Zhen, the right path was to cultivate to the peak of martial arts. Alchemy was always a support.

Putting aside those distracting thoughts, Nie Zhen took off all of his clothes, and then soaked himself in the medicinal liquid for a medicinal bath. At the same time, the Asura Divine Spell in his body started to circulate, allowing his body to fully absorb the medicinal strength in the medicinal bath. Nie Zhen was gratified that, although the medicinal properties of the medicinal bath were different, the pharmacology of the medicinal liquid was similar.

The human body was divided into Yin and Yang, and Nie Zhen's body refining solution was made from two types of drugs that could counter the cold and heat. Together with the Blood Clotting Grass, it would strengthen the fusion of the two drugs.

However, this solution had a weakness: it could not be exposed to the air for a long time. Otherwise, it would affect the efficacy of the medicine, and the worst case scenario would be that the drug would completely lose its efficacy.
