The Pill Tycoon - Chapter 124: Mastery of Pills

Yang Ningyin nodded, placed her hand on the door, and a stream of pure internal energy passed through the wooden board to the latch. With a muffled crack, the latch was broken by Yang Ningyin, and the door was opened instantly.
Upon entering the room, a medicinal fragrance wafted towards you. The room was shrouded in mist, filled with the smoke of medicinal pills. Instead of dissipating, the smoke swirled around the cauldron.
Liu Suyan immediately spotted Lu Qiwen sitting cross-legged beside an ancient alchemy cauldron. The flames beneath the cauldron were still burning fiercely, and wisps of medicinal fragrance wafted out from it.
When Liu Suyan saw Lu Qiwen, she was initially relieved. However, when she saw Lu Qiwen's hand pressed against the seemingly red-hot cauldron, she couldn't help but feel worried and reached out to knock Lu Qiwen's hand off the cauldron.
Fortunately, Yang Ningyin noticed and stopped Liu Suyan's hand; otherwise, not only would a batch of nearly completed Creation Pills have been ruined, but Lu Qiwen would also have been injured.
Yang Ningyin said in a deep voice, "Whatever you do, don't touch my husband. What if you ruin his plans?"
Liu Suyan said worriedly, "But look at that alchemy furnace, it's all red-hot. Won't Qiwen's hands get burned?"
Yang Ningyin glanced at the alchemy furnace, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She slowly extended a slender, white jade finger towards the furnace. Liu Suyan couldn't help but whisper, "No, be careful not to burn yourself."
Yang Ningyin's hand landed on the cauldron. As soon as it touched the cauldron, she quickly withdrew her hand. The instant her hand touched the cauldron, a scorching heat emanated from it. If she hadn't had profound inner strength and even formed a golden core, and hadn't immediately protected her finger, one of her fingers would have been burned.
Seeing Yang Ningyin quickly withdraw her finger, Liu Suyan couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Sister Yang, are you alright? Did you burn yourself?"
Yang Ningyin took a deep breath and said, "Such venomous fire! It's probably no more potent than the legendary Samadhi Fire of Taoism."
Liu Suyan said worriedly, "Since he's angry, why does Qiwen seem completely unaffected?"
Yang Ningyin glanced at Lu Qiwen. With her cultivation level, she could naturally tell that Lu Qiwen was in a meditative state. However, she didn't understand why Lu Qiwen, whose hands were pressed against the alchemy furnace, was completely unaffected by the heat that even she couldn't withstand.
Shaking her head, Yang Ningyin said, "I don't know what's going on either. Perhaps this is what makes alchemists different from us. Now my husband's Qi is strong and his internal energy is stable. He's perfectly fine, so you don't need to worry." Since even Yang Ningyin said so, Liu Suyan could only nod.
Just then, the fires beneath the ten cauldrons went out, leaving only a cloud of smoke swirling around them. The herbs, as if alive, rolled about, then suddenly contracted into the cauldrons, emitting muffled thuds one after another, filling the room with a rich aroma.
The two women were stunned for a moment. Yang Ningyin was the first to react, a look of understanding on her face. Liu Suyan asked in confusion, "Sister Yang, what's going on? Did all these pills fail to be refined? Should we relight the fire?"
Yang Ningyin shook her head and said, "No need. If I'm not mistaken, these pills have already been refined and can be taken out of the cauldron at any time."
Liu Suyan exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Yang Ningyin stared at the ten cauldrons before her, a look of admiration on her face. She clearly hadn't expected Lu Qiwen to devise a method using a gas stove to refine pills simultaneously, eliminating the hassle of controlling both the civil and military fires. This not only saved her considerable trouble but also maximized the success rate of pill refining. After all, everyone knows that the most difficult aspect of pill refining is controlling the flame. It can be said that whether a batch of pills is successfully refined depends half on the mastery of flame control, 30% on luck, and 20% on the quality of the medicinal herbs. Glancing again at Lu Qiwen, who sat cross-legged there, Yang Ningyin observed him closely for the first time and found him even more handsome than in the photographs. For a moment, she was lost in thought, staring at Lu Qiwen.
Seeing Yang Ningyin staring blankly at Lu Qiwen, Liu Suyan, who was standing nearby, gave a wry smile. The smile vanished quickly, replaced by a sweet one, and she softly asked Yang Ningyin, "Sister Yang, do you think we should put these pills away?"
Yang Ningyin woke up when she heard Liu Suyan's voice. She glanced at Liu Suyan and saw that Liu Suyan's expression was calm. She breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw the ten pill cauldrons, she thought for a moment and said, "Now that they are finished, they can be put away. I wonder what kind of pills my husband is making. He made so many at the same time. There must be thousands of them."
Liu Suyan looked around the room but didn't find the jade bottle. There was only an exquisite porcelain jar there, which seemed to be prepared by Lu Qiwen to hold pills.
Carrying one of the pills, Liu Suyan walked to a pill cauldron and reached out to open its lid. Yang Ningyin quickly stopped her rash action, saying, "Suyan, wait!"
Liu Suyan was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Ningyin said, "You can't open the cauldron like you did, or you'll be injured by the cauldron's internal energy."
As she spoke, Yang Ningyin extended her slender, white hand and placed it on the cauldron. With a subtle burst of energy, the lid of the cauldron popped open, and a burst of heat emanated from it. Liu Suyan, who was standing to the side, felt a wave of intense heat wash over her and involuntarily took a few steps back. She was overjoyed that Yang Ningyin had stopped her earlier; otherwise, she would have been hit by the cauldron's heat and would have been burned, or worse, her appearance might have been ruined.
After the elixir energy in the cauldron dissipated, Liu Suyan carried the jar to the cauldron and peered inside. She saw countless snow-white pills quietly scattered at the bottom of the cauldron.
Yang Ningyin stretched out her hand and grasped at the air. A snow-white pill the size of a soybean appeared in her hand, resting quietly in her fair and delicate palm, brimming with spiritual energy. She took a light sniff; a unique medicinal fragrance emanated from the pill. Even with Yang Ningyin's ability to identify medicinal substances, she couldn't recognize what kind of pill it was. Liu Suyan, on the other hand, blushed upon seeing the pill. She didn't look at Yang Ningyin's actions but quietly collected the pills into a jar.
Noticing Liu Suyan's unusual behavior, Yang Ningyin's heart stirred, and she asked Liu Suyan, "Suyan, do you know what kind of pill this is?"
Liu Suyan blushed and remained silent, but it was clear from her expression that she understood what the pill was for.
Seeing Liu Suyan's unusual behavior, Yang Ningyin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Good Suyan, please tell me."
Liu Suyan glanced at Yang Ningyin, then shyly looked at Lu Qiwen sitting there, and said softly, "This...this is a tonic."
Yang Ningyin was taken aback. If it was a highly nourishing pill, why was Liu Suyan so shy? Moreover, judging from the change in Liu Suyan's expression, this so-called tonic was obviously not so simple.
Yang Ningyin wasn't a woman with a particularly strong sense of curiosity, but since the elixir was refined by Lu Qiwen, it was understandable that she was curious. So, she unusually grabbed Liu Suyan's small hand and said, "Suyan, tell me quickly, what kind of tonic is this?"
Liu Suyan blushed, recalling how she had once asked her best friend, just like Yang Ningyin, what kind of tonic it was. She blushed deeply upon learning the answer, and looking up at Yang Ningyin's curious eyes, she took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "This pill is an aphrodisiac for men, used to strengthen the body and kidneys. It can also be used as a mild aphrodisiac."
Yang Ningyin nodded, then suddenly realized something. Her slender hand trembled, and the pill in her palm almost rolled to the ground. Yang Ningyin's cheeks flushed, and her usually calm expression became shy and embarrassed. Seeing Liu Suyan's expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to, Yang Ningyin's mind became even more chaotic.
It took Yang Ningyin a while to calm down. She helped Liu Suyan collect the pills from the ten pill cauldrons, filling four jars to the brim. After sealing them, she placed them in a cabinet.
Seeing that Lu Qiwen, who was sitting there, showed no signs of waking up, the two women left the room to rest.
On the afternoon of the third day, a muffled sound came from the room that was being used as a pill-making room. Liu Suyan, who had been worried all along, heard the sound and stopped listening to Yang Ningyin's explanation of the Moon Chasing Heart Sutra. She suddenly stood up and ran towards the room where Lu Qiwen was.
Seeing Liu Suyan's reaction, Yang Ningyin's eyes flashed with a strange light, and a peculiar smile appeared on her lips. She followed Liu Suyan into the room.
Even before entering the room, a rich fragrance wafted towards me, its refreshing medicinal aroma bringing a sense of comfort to my entire body.
Lu Qiwen stood in front of the open cauldron, from which pill energy still emanated, though much weaker. He stared intently at the scene inside the cauldron, not wanting the pill he had painstakingly refined to fail.
Lu Qiwen was so focused on the pill cauldron that he didn't even notice Liu Suyan rushing into the room; his attention was entirely on the pill.
As the elixir energy slowly dissipated, the scene inside the cauldron appeared in Lu Qiwen's eyes. When he saw the scene inside the cauldron, a smile flashed across Lu Qiwen's face. Inside the cauldron, a dozen deep red pills, each the size of a grape, were quietly sitting there, emitting a shimmering divine light.
The pills were successfully made, but perhaps because it was the first time they were made, only eighteen pills were made out of the original eighty-one pills. Even so, when Lu Qiwen put the eighteen pills into a jade bottle, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
