Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Yue Shan and Ji Lai were breathing heavily, and the breath on their bodies became extremely unstable, as if they would fall directly from the air at any time and anywhere.

Some people may think that only low-level warriors will breathe heavily when they are physically tired, so as to quickly recover the consumption of their bodies.

In fact, high-level warriors can only stretch all the pores of their bodies when they are tired, and use the advantages of cultivation and skills to quickly absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover.

But this is only under normal circumstances. If there is an accident, such as great self-consumption, spiritual energy loss of more than 70%, or serious physical injury. Such a situation will have a great impact on the warrior, and it is necessary to absorb and refine a large amount of spiritual energy as soon as possible to assist the warrior in recovery.

Yue Shan and Ji Lai are in a similar situation. Not only do they consume a lot of themselves, but they also suffer serious physical injuries. Therefore, even the strong men in the Shennian period now need to use this exaggerated breathing method to absorb and refine spiritual energy. It is far from enough to rely solely on the acupuncture points and pores around the body to absorb spiritual energy.

As for Ying Bao, she didn't gasp like Yue Shan and Ji Lai, but that was because she consumed more energy than them and her physical injuries were much more serious than them.

It was difficult to see obvious effects just by absorbing spiritual energy in the current situation. Ying Bao took out two medicine pills directly, threw them into her mouth, chewed them hard and swallowed them.

The moment the medicine pill was exposed to the air, Yue Shan and Ji Lai couldn't help but look sideways. With their knowledge, just by relying on the fluctuations and fragrance emitted by the medicine pill, they could judge that the medicine pill had definitely reached the peak of the lower grade and was infinitely close to the middle grade.

On Kunxuan Continent, the grades of medicines are usually divided into lower grade, middle grade and upper grade. Of course, there are some medicines that have exceeded the upper grade level but have not reached the higher level. In this way, medicines outside the normal grade are classified as top grade and super grade.

As for the medicine itself, it can be roughly divided into four types, divided from low to high in terms of grade, namely medicine powder, medicine liquid, medicine pill and medicine pill. These medicines correspond to the pharmacist apprentice, primary pharmacist, intermediate pharmacist and advanced pharmacist in turn.

The pharmacist apprentice is the first stage of the pharmacist. Some people who are not talented enough or lack resources are often stuck at this stage. If ordinary warriors are slightly interested in medicine and must focus on cultivation, they are basically at this stage.

Therefore, the pharmacist apprentice can be called the first stage of the pharmacist, but it can also be said that he is not a pharmacist.

Because the pharmacist apprentice needs to learn to identify various types of medicines first, and the other is the simple processing of medicines, and at the same time, he can make more than one kind of medicine powder.

Even if some people do not want to become pharmacists, they also have the level of pharmacist apprentices. For example, the sects and forces around the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, Spirit Medicine Mountain Range, Chaos Land and Tianping Mountain Range will cultivate their own herb collection teams.

The old members of these herb collection teams can accurately distinguish various types of medicines, and in the process of collecting, they will simply process the medicines to facilitate better preservation. Because it may take more than ten days or even months for the herb collection team to enter the mountain, the preservation of medicines is very important.

As for the herb-collecting team, they will directly refine some easy-to-refine medicines into medicinal powders when they are in the mountains. On the one hand, the reason for this is that the herb-collecting team often encounters emergencies in the mountains, and it will definitely be safer to have some medicinal powders.

On the other hand, it is naturally to earn more benefits. The status of the herb-collecting team in various forces is not very high, and the treatment is relatively limited. Therefore, the old members of the herb-collecting team will learn a few prescriptions and refine part of the collected medicinal materials into medicinal powders, and sell them before returning to the family.

If you just sell the medicine, the profit will be much less, and it is not worth the risk of being punished by the family. In addition, the family will send people to check at a certain location on the way out of the mountain, and then return to the family to check the quantity. If the collected medicine is not easy to hide, the medicinal powder is not only easier to hide, but also easier to trade.

So the title of alchemist apprentice gradually became just a title, and it was not really a level of alchemist.

However, this is why the current Kunxuan Continent ignores the rank of alchemist apprentice. In the very distant past, alchemist apprentices were not only very important, but also a very important part of alchemist practice.

Unfortunately, not only the method of training alchemist apprentices has been lost, but also the medicines of the past are rarely seen now. Those medicines were also called "ancient medicines" at the time. When refining ancient medicines, they also need to be matched with "ancient prescriptions".

In Kunxuan Continent, except for a few of the oldest sects, some ancient prescriptions and the real method of training alchemist apprentices are still preserved. Most people have never even heard of them.

Zuo Feng is one of the very few lucky ones. When he was a teenager, he received the ancient method of training alchemist apprentices. His master's wife Zhuang Yu was one of the people who mastered the training of real alchemist apprentices, and she also strictly educated Zuo Feng according to this method.

Because according to the "ancient prescription", the method of alchemist apprentices to refine medicinal powders and some liquid medicines does not require the use of spiritual energy, which also makes up for the disadvantage of master's wife Zhuang Yu, who cannot practice and cannot use spiritual energy.

In order to make pharmacists better understand medicine, most of the medicine powders and liquid medicines in the "ancient prescriptions" return to a more simple and simple processing method. This method does not use flames as fiercely as directly, nor does it use medicine furnaces and medicine tripods.

After the medicine is selected, cleaned, and sorted, it is processed by special methods such as drying, baking, steaming, and smoking, and then blended by grinding, mixing, and modulation to obtain medicine powder.

The effect of the medicine powder refined by the ancient method is comparable to the medicine liquid refined by the widely circulated method today. As for the medicine liquid refined by the ancient method, the level is comparable to the middle-grade or high-grade medicine liquid refined by the current method. Because the higher the level of the medicine, the more difficult it is to improve, so the medicine liquid refined by the ancient method can hardly reach the level of pills.

Although the ancient method of refining medicine does not require the use of spiritual energy, medicine cauldrons, and medicine furnaces during the apprentice stage of the alchemist, it is necessary to use them when the level is higher. However, the ancient method of refining medicine almost does not use medicine cauldrons, because medicine cauldrons were created when ancient medicines were almost extinct and most ancient prescriptions could not be used, so medicine cauldrons are not suitable for most ancient prescriptions and ancient medicines.

Zhuang Yu has already reached the limit that an apprentice alchemist can reach, which is a height that was difficult for anyone to reach even in the ancient times. Of course, this is also closely related to her inability to use spiritual energy. As a result, she helped Zuo Feng and laid a very solid foundation on the road of refining medicine.

A beginner pharmacist needs to be able to refine more than five kinds of liquid medicine, a mid-level pharmacist needs to be able to refine more than three kinds of pills, and a high-level pharmacist needs to be able to refine more than one kind of medicine pill.

As mentioned before, the higher the level of the pharmacist, the more difficult it is to improve, so the requirements for the pharmacist's level will be reduced accordingly. If you need to refine more than five kinds of medicinal pills to become a high-level alchemist, then the number of high-level alchemists on the entire Kunxuan Continent will probably be reduced by more than 90%.

Many high-level alchemists may only be able to refine two kinds of medicinal pills after more than ten years of research.

Moreover, some high-level alchemists can only refine the kind of medicinal pills that are rarely used by warriors, such as some medicinal pills that assist in cultivation. This has raised the prices of some commonly used medicinal pills to an extremely terrifying height.

For example, medicinal pills that restore one's own spiritual energy, medicinal pills that restore injuries, medicinal pills that increase physical strength, or medicinal pills that burst out strength or spiritual energy in a short period of time are all medicinal pills that warriors often use and consume a lot of. The price is often ridiculously high.

Now Yingbao took two medicinal pills at once, one to restore his own spiritual energy and the other to repair physical injuries. The preciousness of the two medicinal pills can already be equal to the total expenses of a medium-sized family on the Kunxuan Continent for several years.

Of course, Yingbao knew the price of the medicine pill, but he had to take it, because no matter how precious the medicine pill was, it could not be more precious than his own life. After Yingbao took the two medicine pills that made Yueshan and Jilai jealous, it took less than two breaths for her to feel her breath slowly recovering, and her pale face gradually had a trace of blood.

Yueshan and Jilai were not surprised at such obvious changes. If there was no such effect, it would not be worthy of the amazing price.

But now, the two of them did not pay too much attention to Yingbao. Their attention was now on the figure that had just appeared.

If we have to say how this person who just appeared gave people a feeling, then he was actually somewhat similar to the powerful man of the Hidden Killing Sect. This person was clearly standing there, but gave people a feeling of nothingness and unreality. Although the eyes could see him, the other party seemed to appear and disappear in the perception.

Until this time, there was still a faint sound of wind and thunder between the surrounding heaven and earth, and at the same time, there were countless tiny cold rays flying in the air like snowflakes.

The powerful warriors in the Divine Mind Stage present did not care much about these cold rays, but if a warrior below the Condensation Mind Stage approached, his body would be pierced in an instant.

The strong men from the Qiansha Sect and Qingmen narrowed their eyes slightly, and there was a fierce murderous intent in their eyes. But the two of them did not act immediately, because they were also a little afraid of the man who had just arrived.

As for the man who had just arrived, he also did not attack again, but was accumulating strength. It can be seen that when he attacks next time, he will definitely attack and kill the two people from the Qiansha Sect and Qingmen with all his strength.

But at this moment, the six people turned their heads at the same time, looking in one direction with surprised and puzzled eyes. As powerful warriors in the Divine Mind Stage, they keenly sensed that a powerful rule force suddenly appeared in that area without any warning.
