BTTH : Treasure Exchange System

In the back mountain of the Xiao family, a green figure darted back and forth on the rugged mountain road like a ghost, occasionally stopping at certain places.

"Purple-leafed orchid, bone-washing flower, I didn't expect there to be so many medicinal herbs in the back mountain of the Xiao family that had not been picked. It seems they were preserved because their age is too young. But all this is not a problem for me. I am not afraid of their low age; I am just afraid of not having any seeds." Xiao Se looked at the herbs in front of him and murmured softly.

After Xiao Yu went to Jia Nan College, Xiao Se entered a state of dedicated practice once again.

During the day, he practiced fighting skills and physical techniques outside the stone chamber of the cave; at night, he returned to the stone chamber to temper his dou qi, placing the Heaven Controlling Vial under the vent of the stone chamber to absorb moonlight and condense green liquid.

He lived a life that alternated between these two points every day.

While practicing the skills, Xiao Se dug out all the herbs he saw along the way and transplanted them into a small valley he had discovered.

The valley was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the valley floor was not clearly visible from the mountain. The only way to enter the valley was a cliff that could accommodate only one person. Below the cliff was a deep abyss that was extremely steep and covered by branches and rubble, so Xiao Se did not have to worry about being discovered.

After collecting all the herbs in the area, Xiao Se arrived at the small valley.

Looking at the lush medicinal garden that almost filled the entire valley, Xiao Se showed a satisfied smile on his face.

These were all prepared by him to practice alchemy.

It took more than half a month to collect so many medicinal herbs, and the green liquid condensed in the Heaven Controlling Bottle promoted the growth of the seedlings to dozens or even hundreds of years.

Xiao Se had considered buying them directly from the imitation market, but he was short of money. He would need the remaining gold coins to buy first-level magic cores and refine second-grade pills in the future, so he had to support himself.

This was also a good opportunity to test the effectiveness of the Heaven Controlling Bottle.

After skillfully picking all the mature herbs and sorting them, Xiao Se returned to the stone cave. He could not wait to take out the ring hanging from his neck, injected a trace of dou qi into it, and a dark blue light surged. A half-meter-tall, dark red medicine cauldron appeared out of thin air in the stone cave.

The cauldron had two openings, with a fire hole inside. There was a special hole above the lid for placing medicinal materials when refining medicine.

This was one of the few items left in the ring of the Dan Emperor Luo Han. There was nothing special about the two-mouthed cauldron, but it was the first gift given to him by his teacher, Gu Lao, when he became his apprentice. Therefore, Luo Han had kept it until now, and even after his death, he never gave this medicine cauldron away.

It solved Xiao Se's urgent problem.

"Now we can start refining the medicine. But to be on the safe side, let's try to transform the dou qi in our body into flames first."

Xiao Se only had Luo Han's memory as an alchemist, but he had never put it into practice.

It was like guarding a huge closed treasure house. The key was himself. Strength, talent, and alchemy experience were all indispensable.

Only in this way could this treasure mountain be fully explored.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Se followed the memory of Luo Han, raised his right hand, and lightly touched the fire port on the side of the medicine cauldron. The light yellow dou qi in his body gushed out along his right arm and was injected into the medicine cauldron.

The next second, there was a muffled "puff" sound, and the light yellow dou qi entered the medicine cauldron along the fire port, quickly transforming into a light yellow flame that swirled and burned.

"It's so easy to transform into flames? It seems my talent is not bad."

After successfully transforming into flames, Xiao Se's calm little face showed a hint of joy. This was a good start. Next, he needed to feel the wood attribute immersed in his body.

He slowly closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and released his powerful soul perception, which constantly scanned back and forth in his body, looking for that faint trace of wood attribute.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes passed, and Xiao Se still couldn't find the wood power in his body.

But he did not show any impatience. Although he did not have a dou qi test ball for testing, since the system's personal panel showed that his dou qi attribute was fire mixed with a trace of wood, then he would definitely be able to find it. It was just that it was more difficult to find the power of wood for the first time.

Finally, at the eightieth minute, Xiao Se found that tiny bit of wood power in his body.

"Finally found it. Next, I should inject the power of wood into the medicine cauldron to neutralize the violent factor in the flames."

Exhaling slowly, Xiao Se stretched out the ring finger of his left hand and lightly tapped the fire port on the other side of the medicine cauldron. A wisp of light green air flowed out from between his fingers and slowly poured into the medicine cauldron.

The next second, the pale yellow flame that was originally raging and burning in the medicine cauldron suddenly calmed down and became extremely gentle, without any of the previous violent aura.

"Success." Xiao Se's eyes lit up obviously.

First-grade elixir, hemostatic powder.

Required medicinal materials: hemostatic grass, qi-nourishing fruit...

Recalling the self-made prescription of Dan King Luo Han in his mind, his soul perception invaded the medicine cauldron, and Xiao Se tried hard to control the gentle flame in the cauldron.

The ring in his hand flashed with a faint light, and a light red hemostatic herb appeared out of thin air in his hand. With a flick of his finger, the hemostatic herb was accurately thrown into the special hole above the medicine cauldron, which was used to place medicinal materials.

The first time it was put in, before Xiao Se could control the flame, a burning smell came from the hemostatic grass, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into charcoal, which was discharged out of the cauldron through the special hole at the bottom of the medicine cauldron.

"The temperature is too high."

The second time it was put in, it was a little better, but the hemostatic grass didn't last long before it was burned to charcoal again and expelled from the cauldron.

"No, it's still too high."

The third launch.

Ten minutes passed.

After consuming ten hemostatic herbs, Xiao Se finally found the adaptation point of the hemostatic herbs to the flame temperature.

The eleventh hemostatic herb was thrown into the medicine cauldron, and the juice contained in the leaves was smoked into a small handful of pale white powder. The hemostatic herb essence was extracted.

Xiao Se sighed heavily, with a bitter smile on his face. His skills were only at the lower yellow level, and he had already consumed nearly one third of his dou qi.

The memory of Dan King Luo Han's medicine refining is just a memory after all. He thinks it is very simple, but it is extremely difficult to do. He had the peak cultivation of Douhuang, the strength of his soul power has reached the level of a sixth-grade alchemist, and his experience in medicine refining is extremely rich.

However, Xiao Se only possessed the memory of a sixth-grade alchemist. His soul perception and cultivation could not keep up. He had never practiced it himself, so his experience was almost zero.

"Forget it, I'll keep working hard. Compared to others who have to kneel down and beg others to teach them how to make medicine, I'm already very lucky now. There are also auxiliary pills needed to devour the beast fire. Take your time." Muttering in a low voice, Xiao Se began to refine the remaining two medicinal materials.
