Chapter 9 Body Tempering Fluid

Lu Xuan gave Su Qinghuan a deep look.

This woman is interesting.

He is decisive in killing and ruthless, yet flexible in his actions; he is no ordinary person.

"it is good."

Lu Xuan nodded and, without any hesitation, went upstairs.

Seeing this, Shen Qiansan wisely did not follow. Instead, he left a 10,000-tael silver note with Lu Xuan as a consultation fee, and then had someone send his granddaughter home first while he waited downstairs.

……

Private room on the second floor.

The aroma of tea wafts through the air.

Su Qinghuan personally poured tea for Lu Xuan and tentatively asked, "May I ask where you studied, sir? Your theory of generating heat from extreme cold was truly eye-opening."

"Without belonging to any sect or school, just a free spirit."

Lu Xuan took a sip of tea, not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer, and went straight to the point.

"I need a batch of medicinal herbs for body tempering, which must be over fifty years old. Also, I have a formula here that I believe Pavilion Master Su will be interested in."

As he spoke, he took out a pre-written prescription from his pocket and pushed it in front of Su Qinghuan.

Su Qinghuan took it with a puzzled look and looked down at it.

After only a few glances, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her breathing became rapid.

"This...this is..."

"An improved version of the body-quenching fluid?"

As the head of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, she naturally knew all kinds of pill formulas.

Most body tempering liquids on the market can only increase cultivation speed by 10% to 20%, and have extremely strong side effects, with potent medicinal properties that can easily damage meridians.

But the prescription Lu Xuan gave was not only mild in nature, but more importantly...

"It can increase the efficacy of medicine by 50%? And with absolutely no side effects?!"

Su Qinghuan suddenly looked up, staring intently at Lu Xuan, her voice trembling slightly.

"Sir, if this... if it's true, it could very well change the entire power structure of the Eastern Wilderness!"

The Body Tempering Realm is the foundation of martial arts. If there were a body tempering liquid that was both effective and had no side effects, it would be an absolute treasure for the major families and sects.

"Whether it's true or not, Pavilion Master Su, bring the medicinal herbs, and I'll prepare a prescription for you to try and see."

Lu Xuan remained calm, showing no concern whatsoever about the prescription being leaked.

Not to mention that this thing is not worth mentioning at all in his eyes.

Even if a Ziyang Sect alchemist obtained it, without the corresponding refining method, they simply couldn't refine it.

"Someone come here."

Su Qinghuan made a quick decision and called out towards the door.

"Go and fetch ten portions of the ingredients according to this recipe, the best of everything!"

A moment later, two maids came in carrying a tray.

On the tray, seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials, including blood ginseng, fire lingzhi, and rootless water, were neatly arranged. All of them were top-quality with rich colors and fragrant aromas.

After the maid left, only Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan remained in the private room.

Su Qinghuan looked at the medicinal herbs on the table, then at Lu Xuan, who was slowly rolling up his sleeves, and suddenly realized that she had made a big mistake.

Alchemists regard their formulas and techniques as their lifeblood and are most averse to having others present to learn from them.

Although it only involves preparing medicinal liquids and cannot be considered alchemy, the order in which the medicinal materials are added, the control of the heat, and the fusion techniques are all closely guarded secrets.

In my haste, I forgot to dodge.

"Please forgive me, sir. It was Qinghuan who was ignorant of the rules."

Su Qinghuan blushed slightly and quickly stood up to cover her embarrassment.

"Qinghuan will go wait outside until Master finishes refining..."

"No need."

Lu Xuan didn't even raise his head, his tone indifferent.

"Just watch from here."

"This technique... while not a particularly advanced skill, is not something everyone can learn."

"If I don't want to teach you, even if I let you watch it a hundred times, you won't learn a single thing."

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghuan's body stiffened.

mad!

That's utterly arrogant!

Although Su Qinghuan was not an alchemist, as the head of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, what kind of alchemy masters hadn't she seen?

Even the third-grade alchemist elder of the Ziyang Sect wouldn't dare say that she wouldn't be able to learn it even after watching it a hundred times!

Is this person truly capable of anything, or is he just putting on a show?

This arrogance, on the contrary, aroused Su Qinghuan's competitive spirit.

She really wanted to see what was so mysterious about this so-called technique that she couldn't learn!

So, Su Qinghuan sat back down in her chair, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Xuan's hand without even blinking.

However, the next moment, the resentment in her eyes instantly turned into shock.

Blood ginseng, fire lingzhi, auxiliary medicines...

Get all three medicinal herbs at the same time!

"Has he gone mad? The drugs are incompatible; how can they be administered at the same time?"

Su Qinghuan gasped inwardly.

Before she could even finish her thought, Lu Xuan's hand moved.

Click!

Click!

A faint, crisp sound was heard.

The hard, dried blood ginseng, as hard as iron, instantly turned into powder under the trembling of his fingertips.

The essence within was perfectly extracted by another skillful force, suspending in the palm of the hand, completely undamaged.

Next was the fire lingzhi, which was also purified instantly.

Upon seeing this, Su Qinghuan's pupils contracted sharply, her lips parted slightly, and her face was filled with disbelief.

"This is... the Trembling Thunder Hand?"

"No, the Thunderclap Hand can only shatter the outer skin; it can't perform such precise peeling..."

After all, Lu Xuan did not use any grinding tools or open flames to roast the herbs from beginning to end. He completed the extraction of medicinal properties from the three herbs solely by the vibration frequency of his fingers and his extreme control over the power.

Lu Xuan ignored the shock Su Qinghuan showed and remained indifferent.

His hand movements, however, were as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest hesitation.

Take the medicine, crush it, extract it, and blend it.

Finally, Lu Xuan uttered a single word.

"melt."

The several clumps of medicinal essence of different colors in his palm had been precisely poured into the bowl of rootless water.

Instantly, the originally transparent, rootless water was tinged with a beautiful emerald green.

At first glance, it is crystal clear, just like top-grade jade, without the slightest impurity or sediment.

It also has a refreshing and elegant medicinal fragrance. Just one breath is enough to make you feel comfortable all over, and even the stagnant spiritual energy in your body seems to become more active.

Lu Xuan casually pushed the jade bowl in front of Su Qinghuan, who was already dumbfounded.

"It's done."

Su Qinghuan's mind went blank.

"Is that all?"

How long has it been since the beginning?

For an ordinary pharmacist to prepare a body-tempering liquid, it would take half an hour just to grind the medicinal powder, and the boiling and blending process would require even more care.

But what about him?

It was done so casually; even making tea isn't this simple.

Su Qinghuan smiled bitterly. No wonder the other party said they weren't afraid she would steal the skills; it was true... she couldn't learn them.

"Sect Leader Su, won't you come and try it out?"

Lu Xuan's voice pulled Su Qinghuan back to reality.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, she extended a slender, jade-like finger, gently dipped it into the emerald green liquid, picked up a drop, and then put it into her mouth without hesitation.

The medicine disappears immediately upon entering the mouth.

It didn't have the burning, stinging sensation of ordinary body-tempering liquid; instead, it felt like a clear spring flowing down my throat.

But the next moment, she felt a gentle yet extremely powerful heat burst open in her abdomen, and then surge wildly through her meridians to her limbs and bones.

Su Qinghuan's delicate body trembled, and a blush quickly appeared on her face.

Cool.

So cool!
