Disciple of the Alchemist Goddess

Make Pills

A day together has been a friend. Three days in the same cave, like brothers. Wan Tian had gone through happy days with the presence of Su Menglan. It was in a completely unknown cave.

The heavy rain outside made them unable to get out. But inside they can do interesting things. Like making a fireplace in a cave. Not much smoke came out of the burning branches. Because the twig was already very dry.

Wan Tian burned what should have been burned. The medicinal plants he took were boiled with holy water that Su Menglan had brought. Even though it was only with a small container that Su Menglan had.

"Well, you actually boiled this unknown plant? Aren't you afraid of anything happening?" ask Su Menglan worriedly. He was worried that the plant contained poison.

Another case with the contents of Wan Tian's mind. He felt that what his Goddess said was the truth. He continued cooking until the water was reduced. He doesn't cook everything. He has been beating and squeezing it. Only a small part was boiled. He was also in no hurry to cook the medicine taught directly by a Goddess.

"While this is a different way of pill making, it is much better than eating it directly. The heating process will make the toxins present in the plant disappear."

Yang Yue continued to tell Wan Tian, how to make medicine with simple equipment. While Su Menglan could only see what the youngster was doing. He watched every action taken by Wan Tian.

"After all boiled until the water in it is concentrated, you cool and mix every ingredient that has been boiled earlier."

Yang Yue continued to give instructions patiently. While Su Menglan only saw what Wan Tian was doing. The technique taught directly by the Goddess eases the pace of pill making.

It didn't take long, the meat dishes that Su Menglan was waiting for finally cooked. While Wan Tian was still boiling a few more ingredients. He had taken the last of the medicinal plants. After that, he placed it on a stone that had been cleaned with rain water.

"Wan Tian, why did you think of making this kind of medicine? Are you trying to make poison or what? I think the plant is a poisonous plant. You don't intend to make poison, do you?" the Cecar Su Menglan.

"Maybe it's poison. But it doesn't matter because I originally boiled it. Perhaps this could come in handy later," Wan Tian replied casually. He almost boiled everything. Just waiting for the last one.

"Hey, we'd better eat first. Have you not eaten today? You drink only holy water. But it can't make you full."

"No. It's gonna be over soon. I'll eat when everything's ready. You just eat first. I'm not hungry yet" Wan Tian refused. He set the fire to keep it burning stably. Then he also started stirring and mixing the ingredients that had been boiled.

With the presence of holy water from the Fairy Lake, making the quality of medicine even higher. Then Wan Tian would get even more chances. He will quickly master the training of the Goddess.

Su Menglan let Wan Tian. He was actually worried about the boy. How did that ordinary human body that had no chance of cultivating live life. He felt that the child was very mature and did not bother others.

"You should eat first. Don't let that girl see you make medicine. Because this was a secret technique that could not be disseminated," Yang Yue ordered.

Wan Tian stopped stirring the materials that were on the rock. Then he covered it with leaves and took food. Su Menglan who saw him could only smile. He hoped that Wan Tian would also have great power someday. But he couldn't expect too much. At least seeing him live better is enough.

"This snake meat is very good. Especially when you are hungry. I've added some good medicinal herbs. So it can nourish our bodies in the future."

"Yes, you know a lot about medicinal plants. But don't know, is it possible to make pills as well?" asked Wan Tian. He saw that he was certain, that girl could not make pills.

"No. I can't make pills yet. Only my grandfather was a two-star alchemist. He could make a level four or five pill. Haha, I will study someday and be able to make pills like grandfather. You know, pill making is very difficult. I repeatedly failed to make a level one pill. Grandfather said, I must have a fire core first in order to become an alchemist. If not, then it can only be an ordinary healer."

"Tabib? Can I be a healer? Maybe being a healer doesn't need a fire core?" Wan Tian asked and displayed a curious look on his face.

Yet Yang Yue did not think that way. Because he knows more than all humans. Inside Wan Tian's dimensional space, he explained, "Actually you can already become an alchemist without having to have a fire core. The important thing is that you can make one pill. With the alchemical knowledge you have in mind, ideas will continue to evolve. The core of the fire is only one of the driving factors to become a chemist ...."

Wan Tian did not need to ask Su Menglan anymore. The girl couldn't answer either. The knowledge he has is still a beginner. Can't even concoct the medicinal ingredients properly. Knowledge of medicinal plants was limited.

Su Menglan could only tell his ignorance to Wan Tian. Even so, he hoped that Wan Tian would have a chance to train with his grandfather. After the journey ended and he reached home, he would practice medicine.

"I didn't know you could be a healer or not. Most importantly, you have to eat a lot. We'll continue our journey tomorrow. Don't stay in this cave for long. After eating, sleeping."

Su Menglan ate voraciously. Likewise with Wan Tian who had already produced his meal. He also drank holy water without cooking it first. They do not use rainwater for cooking. Just to wash the snakes and dirty plants.

After they finished eating, the two talked until drowsiness came. So Su Menglan decided to go to sleep. He lay on a rock in front of the still burning fireplace.

"You should be sleeping too, Wan Tian. No sleep deprivation because there is no rest tomorrow." Su Menglan warned Wan Tian. He closed his eyes because of the high drowsiness.

"Now it's time for you to continue making pills. I'll explain how you didn't go the wrong way."
