"First of all, we need to add the artemisia selengensis. When adding the artemisia selengensis, we don't need to cut it open, we only need to gently rub it with our hands to make the whole artemisia selengensis softer!"

After he had finished speaking, Elder Wang picked up the artemisia selengensis and carefully rubbed it. After that, he placed the artemisia selengensis into the medicinal cauldron, "When kneading the artemisia selengensis, you have to be gentle. Try to avoid breaking the stem and leaves of the artemisia selengensis."

After Elder Wang had finished instructing Zhao Kui, he could only watch as Zhao Kui did it. Zhao Kui picked up a green and glistening artemisia selengensis and rubbed it on his palm. He felt that it was possible to do so after he placed it into the medicinal cauldron.

"Very good! It's important to pay attention when rubbing the artemisia selengensis. You must not rub every inch of the artemisia selengensis, even if it is an extremely small part of it. " Zhao Kui nodded.

After this, we will need to add two medicinal herbs, Chang Si and Lai Shi. When adding these two medicinal herbs, we must be fast. With that, Elder Wang quickly picked up Chang Si and Litchi. With a "sou" sound, he threw them into the medicine cauldron. His actions were abnormally fast, and he even brought out a series of afterimages.

Zhao Kui did not have any difficulties with this simple operation, it was just speed and synchronization. After putting everything into the cauldron, Elder Wang said, "Next, place the essence of the Gate of Heaven, the Fire Thread Grass, the leaves of the Liaoning Province, and the bamboo shoots into the Cauldron every quarter of an hour!"

With that, Elder Wang immediately put in the Gate of Heaven's Essence and also added some charcoal powder. Zhao Kui also put in the Gate of Heaven Essence and then added some charcoal powder. This time, he absorbed the lesson just now and did a better job.

The next step was to wait. In the process of waiting, one had to stabilize the size of the fire and not cause it to become too large or small. The entire process of refining the pill lasted for about an hour, and by this time, all of the medicinal herbs had already been added into the cauldron, and the gurgling sound within the cauldron was getting louder and louder.

"At this moment, the medicinal ingredients have basically turned into liquid medicine, but the medicinal ingredients are all dregs, so before refining the pill, we need to first remove the dregs of the medicinal ingredients. Otherwise, after refining the pill, there will be dregs in the pill, which will affect the quality of the medicinal pills, and there will even be some dregs that will be harmful, and after consuming the medicinal ingredients, they will cause harm to the body, so this step is very important." However, this step was not difficult to operate. The dregs were usually quite large, as long as they were removed with the dregs' pincers, then it would be fine. However, one had to carefully observe if there were any smaller dregs, and in the process of removing the dregs, one had to pay attention to not bringing out the medicinal liquid. When removing the dregs, one had to shake the pincers, causing the medicinal liquid to fall back into the medicinal cauldron. Alright, let's start the operation! "

These pincers were bent in the middle of the pincers, so they would not be above the steaming heat emitted by the cauldron, preventing burns. Of course, for martial artists like them, they would not get scalded by such temperature, the bending of these pincers were only prepared for those with weak martial arts skills, the head of the pincers felt like it was flat, forming a small square container, with many holes beside it, making it easy for the liquid to flow out.

Elder Wang picked up the pincer and looked at the interior of the medicine cauldron. Then, he began to pick up the residue, and in a few strokes, threw it into a nearby barrel.

Zhao Kui picked up the pincers and picked up the dregs, but it took him a full six or seven rounds to get the dregs out of the cauldron. Zhao Kui looked at Elder Wang in confusion. He did not understand why Elder Wang was able to take out the dregs so quickly.

"Hehe, kid, when trying to pick up the dregs, you have to pinpoint the location and position of the dregs." Hehe, kid, when trying to pick up the dregs, you have to pinpoint the location and position of the dregs. Elder Wang carefully explained the main points to Zhao Kui.

Alright, now close the lid of the medicinal cauldron, and first use a bigger fire to dry it for a while, and after a while, the medicinal liquid will become viscous. At this moment, after a while, it will form a pill, and when the pill is formed, it will reduce the heat of the fire, and let the medicinal liquid slowly solidify.

According to Elder Wang's instructions, Zhao Kui had completed all the steps and was waiting for the elixir to take shape. At this moment, the fragrance of the elixir was getting stronger and stronger. Zhao Kui felt relaxed and happy just by smelling it.

"Alright, I've finished refining the pill. Let's start with the pill!" Elder Wang gave a loud shout and slapped the Cauldron with his palm. "Buzz!" The Cauldron let out a loud sound and a medicinal pill flew out from within. Elder Wang picked up a white porcelain bottle and took the medicinal pills one by one.

When Zhao Kui heard Elder Wang's shout, he followed his actions and put the pill away as well. However, his actions were a bit forced and he was in a fluster.

"Kid, how do you feel?" Elder Wang asked as he looked at the agitated Zhao Kui.

"Yes, I feel very happy. I'm even happier than when my martial arts improved by a stage. This is my first time concocting a pill." Zhao Kui chuckled as he replied.

"Then let's pour the pills out and have a look?" Elder Wang asked Zhao Kui.

"En!" Zhao Kui nodded.

The two of them poured out the pills they had refined. Zhao Kui felt a little ashamed at first glance. Elder Wang had poured out a total of twelve pills, each of them plump and smooth.

Zhao Kui was also able to refine only ten pills, each one was smaller than the one refined by Elder Wang. The pills were not as round, somewhat deformed, and their surface was not smooth. There were a few small potholes on the surface, but the color was slightly darker when compared to Elder Wang's pills.

Zhao Kui felt his face burning. Elder Wang looked at Zhao Kui's pills, then stroked his beard and said, "Hmm, ten pills is already very good, and the quality is also pretty good. I remember the first time I tried to refine a pill, I only produced six.

When Zhao Kui heard these words, he finally felt less embarrassed. He then asked, "Elder Wang, what other shortcomings did I have when I was refining pills?"

"If we're talking about shortcomings, then the biggest problem is that we're not proficient in them. We just need to practice a bit more, and pay attention to the details during each process to avoid the wastage of the medicinal properties. The less waste there is, the more pills we can refine, and the better the quality will be." Elder Wang pondered for a moment before giving Zhao Kui a few suggestions.

Elder Wang picked up a book from the bookshelf and handed it over to Zhao Kui, "This book is about the recipes and refining methods of some pills. During the process of refining the Vitality Replenishing Pill, you also discovered the order in which the medicinal ingredients were added, and this book also explained the reasons in detail, look carefully, once you refine the pill more, you will understand the logic behind it, in the future, you can refine pills more easily by yourself. In addition, you have read a lot of books on medicinal ingredients already, so you have to learn more.

Zhao Kui knew that Elder Wang's words were to help him refine the pills better. Zhao Kui would not hesitate to do so.

"Alright, we'll stop here for today's pill refining. Come back tomorrow and train harder tomorrow so that you can get used to the process faster." "One must know that when refining a pill, there may be more than one batch of pills refined at the same time. This is extremely important to the familiarity of the pill!"

"Un, I understand!" "Then I'll take my leave today."

"Alright, go!" Elder Wang looked at Zhao Kui with eyes filled with admiration.
