A week has passed.

During this week, Chen Zi'ang successfully kept all the characteristics and names of the medicinal materials in the valley in mind, and at the same time he also formed a piece of monsters at the level of the King of Fighting and even above.

Sometimes Chen Zi'ang would secretly leave a part of the medicine residue left by his master's medicine refining and distribute it to those monsters when he was not paying attention. Those monsters were more attractive to the medicine residue than Chen Zi'ang imagined. With these medicine residues, he had become the boss of those monsters.

"Boss, are there any medicine residue today?" the little tiger licked his tongue and asked next to Chen Zi'ang.

"Go and go, didn't you just give it to you an hour ago? I would be suspected by him if I stole too many medicine residues." Chen Zi'ang was digging the medicinal materials that Ji Qiu needed to refine medicine today in the medicine field.

"That's right, you greedy ghost," a little python spoke.

Xiaolu said, "Thanks to the boss stealing the medicine for us, otherwise how could we get so many?"

"Shh, the master is here"

At this time, Ji Qiu came over from a distance and asked curiously, "I heard you talking from afar, what are you muttering?"

"Uh... nothing." The monsters scattered, fearing that Ji Qiu would discover the secret between them and Chen Zi'ang.

"Advisor, are you familiar with the medicinal materials in the valley?"

"I have been familiar with it all," Chen Zi'ang replied confidently.

Ji Qiu nodded, "Actually, this is far from enough. The Douqi Continent is extremely huge. Some medicinal materials and even humans have not named them. We alchemists need to discover them."

"Disciple understands"

Chen Zi'ang didn't think so long. He just wanted to improve his refining skills as soon as possible and then complete the tasks in this plane. He could not be a refining person in Doupo Cangqiu for the rest of his life.

"Okay, come with me with these herbs."

Ji Qiu took Chen Zi'ang to the place where he usually refines alchemy. This area has been specially cleaned up by him to place the cauldron.

"Master, the medicinal materials you need to refine elixirs today are already prepared, but today the level of these medicinal materials is very low, so you should not be able to refine any advanced elixirs." Chen Zi'ang said. Based on his judgment, these medicinal materials can be used to refine at most four-grade elixirs, and Ji Qiu usually disdains to refine elixirs of this level.

"Of course, because today is not me who refines the alchemy, but you come," Ji Qiu said for granted.

"I'll do it?"

"You have been in the valley for a while. Since you have already understood the medicinal materials, the next step is of course to start refining alchemy," Ji Qiu explained.

"That's great!" Chen Zi'ang was eager to try. He hadn't refined medicine for a while. Every day he watched Ji Qiu refine himself, of course he also wanted to try it.

He immediately took out his alchemy cauldron and was about to start refining medicine but was stopped by Ji Qiu.

"Do you know why your level of medicine in Mercenary City is obviously better than Lin En, but you are still one step slower than him?" Ji Qiu asked.

"Because my medicine is not as good as him." Chen Zi'ang naturally knew that the gap between his medicine and Lin En was too big. He bought this medicine when he was in Wutan City, and Lin En, as an alchemist of the Caesar Mercenary Group, must have used better medicine.

Ji Qiu waved his hand and another medicine croaker appeared in front of him. The medicine croaker was slightly smaller than the original one of Chen Zi'ang, but it looked more refined. The outer body of the tripod alone had countless carvings, which were of great value.

"This is the tripod I used when I refine medicine in my early years. He has accompanied me for many years. I will give it to you today. I hope you can make good use of it."

"Thank you!" Chen Zi'ang looked at the new medicine in front of him and liked it. With this medicine, he was even more confident that he would refine medicine himself.

"No need to say this, as long as you live up to my expectations, I will be satisfied." Ji Qiu explained the importance of the cauldron after saying that. Good medicine can make the medicinal materials in the cauldron heat more evenly and have extremely high heat resistance. Medicine is the best companion for alchemists. Only by being familiar with their medicine can you refine the best elixir.

"What you want to refine today is the [Rejuvenation Pill] I got in Mercenary City last time. Do you still remember the pill formula?" Ji Qiu asked.

"Of course I still remember" Chen Zi'ang had already remembered all the elixir recipe before selling it to Lin En.

"Then start practicing alchemy"

"Fire Control Technique"

Chen Zi'ang first put the cauldron under the cauldron, slowly baked the cauldron to heat it up, and then threw the medicinal materials in an orderly manner. The process seemed simple, but there were countless details hidden.

For example, the amount of each medicinal material, the distance between medicinal materials, and the fire temperature sometimes need to be increased or reduced according to the situation. The difficulty of refining fourth-grade elixirs is several times more difficult than that of third-grade elixirs.

Sweat was already emerging on Chen Zi'ang's forehead. After all, this was the first time he had refined the fourth-grade elixir, which was more complicated than all the elixirs he had refined before. He actually had no idea.

Under nervousness, when the temperature was not controlled well, all the medicinal materials in the cauldron turned into ashes and had no value.

"I failed," Chen Zi'ang said with some disappointment.

"This is your first time refining a fourth-grade elixir? I remember you said in Mercenary City that you are a third-grade alchemist," Ji Qiu asked.

"Yes"

"If this is your first refining, it is actually very good. It seems that when I first refined the fourth-grade elixir, I was not better than you. At that time, I failed three times before I successfully refined a furnace of fourth-grade elixirs."

After Ji Qiu said that, Chen Zi'ang knew it, but at the same time it aroused his fighting spirit. Can he refine the fourth-grade pill within three times? If possible, wouldn't it be equivalent to surpassing the young master?

"Fire Control Technique"

After raising the fire again, Chen Zi'ang began his second refining. This time he was more skillful than before, but some mistakes were made at the last moment, resulting in a failure.

"Come again!"

Chen Zi'ang didn't believe he couldn't do it, so he started his third attempt. This time, with the experience of the first two times, he grasped the opportunity to catch medicine and control the fire more accurately, and was cautious throughout the process, for fear of failure due to a small flaw.

Gradually, the fragrance of medicine floated out of the cauldron, indicating that the furnace pill was about to be refined.

Chen Zi'ang kept observing the alchemy, waiting until the time came to close the fire, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Qiu took the elixir in the cauldron, observed it after confirming, "You have succeeded. Although the quality of these elixirs is only yellow, they are indeed fourth-grade elixirs."

Chen Zi'ang smiled happily. He liked this feeling of being affirmed very much, especially because this person is his master, an alchemist with superb refining skills.
