Chapter 267 Sister, Please Help Me

Qin Shu thought that with her current foundation-building cultivation, it should not be difficult to refine the second-grade water-repellent pill, but when she actually practiced it, she found that it was not that simple at all.

Although the water-repellent pill can repel water, it must have a certain understanding of water spiritual power. Alchemists generally have fire and wood spiritual roots, and very few have water spiritual roots.

They instinctively reject water spiritual power, and therefore there are not many water-repellent pills sold on the market.

The first batch of pills that Qin Shu refined ended in failure. She looked down at her hands. Her fingers were slender and there were thin calluses on her knuckles from sword practice.

She thought too simply. The function of the water-repellent pill is that after taking the pill, people or monsters can walk freely underwater, just like on land.

The water-repellent pill can extract oxygen from the water to supply the needs of the human body.

Of course, there is no such thing as oxygen in the world of cultivating immortals. From this, it can be seen how amazing the predecessor who invented this pill was.

Oxygen helps combustion, so when refining pills, it is easy to overheat and end up with a waste pill.

Qin Shu's original fire spirit temperature was extremely high, so wouldn't it be a waste if she did that?

She opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, looked at the dark inside, and sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, the alchemy furnace given by the master was not bad, otherwise it would still explode.

She pinched a cleaning spell to clean the alchemy furnace, and she took out another batch of medicinal materials and refined it again.

This time she was very careful and only input a little fire spirit into it, and the rest was replaced by the ground fire in the alchemy room.

However, she still failed this time.

Qin Shu summed up her experience and tried again, but failed five times in a row.

She helplessly scratched her three-centimeter-long hair, sighed, and resignedly took out the communication jade slip to find external help.

Her finger stopped on Chiyu's name, and after a little thought, she quickly crossed it.

The flames of the junior sister might be even more powerful than hers, so she can’t help, so forget it.

Finally, her eyes stopped at He Xin’s name, and she smiled with relief.

Yes, she still had to ask her plastic sister for help at this time.

“Sister, can you help me?”

He Xin replied quickly, “If you have something to say, just say it, don’t disturb me while I’m practicing.”

Qin Shu quickly replied, “Help me refine a few batches of pills? I’ll provide the herbs, and you can refine them.”

He Xin: [? 】

"Sister, are you okay? You have already established your foundation! You want me, a useless person at the fifth level of Qi training, to help you refine pills? This is not a joke, right?"

"No, I can't refine this pill, and after thinking about it, I can only ask you."

"What pill?"

"Water-repellent pill.

...

He Xin didn't refuse Qin Shu in the end. She went all the way to the alchemy room and found the one where Qin Shu was.

When Qin Shu saw He Xin coming, she immediately stood up from the mat, jumped in front of her, and pulled her to the alchemy furnace.

"Help, sister, I can only ask you."

He Xin saw a jar on the ground, so she looked inside and saw that it was full of black waste pills.

She was a little amused, "Shu Shu, so you are not good at something too?"

Qin Shu shrugged, "There are many things I am not good at. If I couldn't buy the water-repellent pill, I would never refine it myself."

After hearing her say this, He Xin also sighed, "What if I can't do it? "

Qin Shu said indifferently: "Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."

After saying this, she also bowed to He Xin flatteringly, "Thank you for making this trip, good sister, I will compensate you."

After hearing her words, He Xin's bright eyes were also stained with a little smile, and she heard her say: "How to compensate?"

The arc of Qin Shu's lips also deepened, "Buy you more chicken butts."

He Xin smiled and stood up to leave, "You want to bribe me with a little chicken butt!"

Qin Shu quickly grabbed her, "I'll buy you the robes you liked last time!"

"Deal." He Xin looked triumphant, "Shu, you said it yourself."

Qin Shu nodded honestly, "Try it quickly, whether it works or not, I will buy you the robes. ”

She had a black card given by her second senior brother, so an ordinary robe was nothing.

He Xin sat down cross-legged, tidied her robe, and then looked at Qin Shu, "Where are the herbs?"

Qin Shu flipped her hand, and a set of herbs appeared in her hand.

"They are all here."

"What should I do? I have never made a water-repellent pill, and I have only made a wind-running pill as a second-grade pill. The success rate is not very ideal. Be prepared. "

He Xin knew that Qin Shu was very powerful. She usually pursued perfect alchemy when refining pills, which has become a benchmark in their Dan Sect.

He Xin was worried that the pills she made were not very ideal. Instead of Qin Shu being disappointed, it would be better to say hello to her in advance.

Qin Shu nodded, "Don't talk about the success rate, even if all the pills are useless, it doesn't matter."

As she spoke, she raised her chin towards the jar not far away, "Look at how much I have wasted. "

After she said that, He Xin no longer had any psychological burden.

Qin Shu took out the experience she had summarized and told He Xin everything that could be used.

He Xin listened very seriously. Qin Shu always had her own unique insights on alchemy. She benefited a lot from listening to her casually. Unlike them, they were just copying others when making alchemy.

It was also the first time for Qin Shu to see He Xin making pills. As soon as He Xin started to input spiritual energy, Qin Shu's brows furrowed.

But she didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for He Xin to waste a furnace of pills.

Seeing her frustrated look, Qin Shu said, "You gave too much spiritual energy when you started. Alchemy is a continuous process and cannot be done overnight. If you input too much spiritual energy at the beginning, you will not have enough stamina. When the fusion is completed, the degree of refining of each part is uneven, and the pill will be wasted."

He Xin nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."

Qin Shu laughed and continued, "Before you start to make pills, you have to use spiritual energy to turn around in the alchemy furnace. This is called a hot furnace. This can ensure that the medicinal materials are heated more evenly in the alchemy furnace. Do you understand?"

He Xin understood. In the past, she had been thinking about alchemy by herself. Before, her senior sister in the Transmission Hall had talked about it, but she didn't explain it in such detail. Or maybe... even her senior sister didn't know this.

Later, she entered the inner gate, still in a free-range rhythm, she had never even seen her master, let alone told her about this.

"I'll try again."

This time, He Xin's input of spiritual energy was much more stable than the first time. She only had two spiritual roots of fire and wood, and would not be affected by other mixed spiritual energy. At the same time, her spiritual root value was not very high, and the heat of the flame was limited, so she didn't need to work hard to grasp the balance of the elements like Qin Shu.
