Chapter 2247

Zhu Yanyi closed her eyes as the medicinal herbs were nearly fully refined. She reached out to feel the temperature of the furnace. "I check the furnace's heat to know how the pills are forming. Everyone has their own way to track this progress, so I won't explain it further."

Indeed, every alchemist had unique skills. Her words made everyone believe her.

"Alright, the medicinal energy is ninety percent active. Now, I will condense the pills," Zhu Yanyi said. She made several hand seals, then covered the lid. About forty-five minutes later, she opened it. A strong herbal scent filled the air. She tapped the furnace, and a row of pills slid out. She placed them into a prepared box and handed it to Ma Bo. "Here, take a look."

Ma Bo took it and was thrilled. "They are truly top-grade pills! And they have pill patterns."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Since I used your furnace, I could only make pills with one pattern. With my own familiar furnace, I usually make three. But today, I am teaching you, so I used yours. I believe you will eventually make better pills than me because you know these furnaces well."

Even though the current furnaces were ordinary, familiarity was key. A familiar furnace, even if common, could produce good pills. An unfamiliar one could not.

Zhu Yanyi’s Medicine God Cauldron was hers, connected to her heart, allowing her to make any pill she wanted. The furnaces before them were ordinary. Although she knew everything about alchemy and did well, the quality was slightly lower. There was no way around it; the difference between the Medicine God Cauldron and ordinary furnaces was like heaven and earth.

Of course, she could not say this openly, so she explained it this way.

As alchemists, they understood the importance of the furnace. They understood her explanation. After watching her technique, they returned to their own work. The alchemists in the Medical Realm were very skilled. After seeing her once, they gained new insights. Seventy percent of them managed to refine top-grade pills, which shocked the entire Medical Realm.

"Shen Jiang, you met that girl from the Cai Xin Plane. What do you think of her?" Lu Ying, the master of the Medical Realm, asked.

Shen Jiang answered respectfully. "I tested this girl. Her medical knowledge is very broad. Currently, over ninety-five percent of people in our realm cannot compare to her in knowledge. The rest would need a competition to judge. Also, her character is good. Whether debating with Ma Bo or teaching us alchemy, she only wants to improve medical skills. She said nothing else."

"Our alchemy skills had not improved for a long time. Now, thanks to her guidance, our realm’s alchemy has advanced. We owe her a favor, so we must repay it. What do you think we should do?" Lu Ying asked.

Shen Jiang said, "Zhu Yanyi wants one Medicine Bodhi and one Nine-Bend Xiaoxiang Grass. Ma Bo already agreed to give one Medicine Bodhi. Someone is looking for the grass."

"These items exist in our realm and cannot be missing. Although we only have three Medicine Bodhis in stock, the tree has many more. Let her enter the Medicine Bodhi Garden and pick a string. As for the Nine-Bend Xiaoxiang Grass, give it to her when found. This is much less than what she taught us," Lu Ying said seriously.

"Yes, but Boss, really give a whole string? A string can have forty-nine Medicine Bodhis," Shen Jiang said.

Lu Ying smiled lightly. "Medicine Bodhis are not a big deal for us. Giving her a string is not much." Lu Ying knew what was most useful to them.

Shen Jiang understood this too. He only offered suggestions. Since Lu Ying had decided, he agreed.

Besides, Shen Jiang liked Zhu Yanyi. In her eyes, this young person was truly good—peaceful, gentle, and steady. Most importantly, she did not hide her knowledge. She shared her ideas and good medical methods with everyone.

People in the Medical Realm valued medical character. If someone had good character, it was a good thing. Since it was good, they would treat the visitor well.

Even though Zhu Yanyi and her group came from the Cai Xin Plane, in Shen Jiang’s heart, their status was higher than visitors from other planes. At least, people from other planes had never taught such good alchemy skills.

"Boss, visitors from the Cai Xin Plane are limited to ten people per century. How about we give them a grace this time and add more spots?" Shen Jiang suggested again.

Lu Ying thought for a moment. "I will discuss this with the other elders. If they have no objections, we will tell them when they leave that they can have more spots next time."

"Good." Shen Jiang knew this was the best result.

After leaving, Shen Jiang went to find Zhu Yanyi. Since they promised to give the Medicine Bodhi, they should give it. So, she took her to the Medicine Bodhi Garden first.

Zhu Yanyi heard Shen Jiang was looking for her and came over. "Elder Shen Jiang, did you call me?"

Shen Jiang nodded with a smile. "I will take you to a place today." Then she led her away.

The Medicine Bodhi location was not far, but it was protected by a hidden formation. Without Shen Jiang, Zhu Yanyi would have taken time to find it.

"Medicine Bodhi Garden," Zhu Yanyi was slightly surprised. She knew the Medical Realm had Medicine Bodhis, but she did not expect a garden.

Shen Jiang opened the door to the garden. "Yes, the Medicine Bodhi Garden is a secret garden of our Medical Realm. Here, we grow Medicine Bodhis that others find rare. Since you taught us alchemy and helped upgrade our pill refining, our highest boss said you can pick a string of Medicine Bodhis yourself. A string has at least forty-nine fruits, which should be enough for you."
