Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 430

In fact, cultivators themselves also have methods to extract the most effective components from certain medicines through the use of spiritual power.

However, such methods have high demands on the cultivator, and the extracted components are not used directly on the body. If used in alchemy, the extracted components would be quite unstable, increasing the failure rate of refining the Elixir, and even if successful, it might lower the quality of the Elixir.

Therefore, many alchemists prefer to find better materials rather than extracting components from medicines using spiritual power.

Moreover, if a cultivator’s method is used for extraction, and the spiritual power of the cultivator is incompatible with the attribute of the materials, the materials would be destroyed. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Even if everything goes smoothly and the Elixir is successfully refined, once it is spread, people could easily trace the Elixir back to the extractor, who is likely an alchemist. Good alchemists are extremely rare, and if traced by someone with malicious intentions, the alchemist’s fate could be worse than that of a slave.

Hence, the physical method Chen Muxue is using now seems unbelievable to someone like Cen Lizhui, an ancient person who hasn’t gone through nine years of compulsory education.

To think it could be so easy to extract the effective components from such broken medicines!

If everyone knew this method, would there still be a distinction between broken and non-broken medicines in the world?

Soon, Chen Muxue entered the alchemy stage. Vein Powder combined with Curse-breaking Grass actually doesn’t have conflicting properties, but combining them is a very meticulous task.

Don’t be fooled by Vein Powder’s function of unblocking veins; if you carefully use spiritual power to delve into these tiny granules of Vein Powder, you’d find they look as if they are small granules like cold medicine granules, yet they aren’t a single entity visible to the naked eye. With a microscope, you’d see a single granule is actually a very fine silk thread entwined together.

Vein Powder itself seems to be composed of numerous extremely fine bundles of veins.

And wanting to infuse the essence of Curse-breaking Grass into them, making these threads, so fine that they would vanish from sight if unraveled — roughly one-fiftieth the thickness of a hair — filled with the essence of Curse-breaking Grass without breaking, and gradually merge into an ordinary Elixir-sized seamless round medicine requires incredibly intricate skills, unimaginable to most.

Chen Muxue indeed found it unimaginable. She roughly explained the procedure to Cen Lizhui, who scratched his head and astonishingly took over the task.

Truly worthy of being an Immortal Sect Disciple, such poise.

However, Immortal Sect Disciples always emphasize the cultivation and use of spiritual power and don’t pay much attention to the divisions of cultivation levels. Although Cen Lizhui may not look much stronger than Chen Muxue now, his control over spiritual power has reached an inconceivable level.

After spending an entire day and failing countless times, joy finally burst from Cen Lizhui’s bloodshot eyes: "It’s done!"

The Elixir in his hand looked unremarkable, seemingly no different from an ordinary pill for treating colds. But on closer inspection, you could see the Elixir was surrounded by a captivating glow, not like any light seen in the mortal world, but like a blessing light bestowed by an Immortal.

This is the Wuyou Immortal Fruit, ranked among the top-quality Elixirs in the Qian Ding Sect’s secrets.
