Whisper of the Eternal Dao

Standing at the top of a deserted medicine, Lin Yi slowly regained consciousness, determined his next plan, and decided to prepare his own medicine.

Lin Yi dug a stone room in Yaofeng, which became his exclusive pharmacy.

After picking the medicinal plants needed from the medicinal fields, Lin Yi began to prepare the medicine according to the procedures given in the recipe. He poured in enough water and selected the prepared medicinal plants. Within the allotted time, Lin Yi opened the lid, and a burnt smell hit his face. It must have been because it had been overheated for too long.

Lin Yi was not discouraged and started again. This time he controlled the temperature better, but when he opened the lid, the quality still did not reach the quality of Mr. Fei last time. Lin Yi kept repeating it, not knowing how many times he had repeated it. Finally, he basically reached Mr. Fei's standard. Looking at the liquid medicine in the furnace, Lin Yi finally smiled. By this time, Lin Yi's face had become scorched and black, but Lin Yi was very happy in his heart.

Through constant repetition and experimentation, Lin Yi gradually discovered some patterns and gained his own insights.

In the following days, Lin Yi continued to prepare the medicine. Through daily accumulation, the success rate got higher and higher, and finally he reached a perfect level of proficiency. Without wasting a single ingredient, his medicine gradually achieved excellent results.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Now, Lin Yi was already able to skillfully prepare the medicine he wanted and had initially achieved his goal. However, the sea of medicine preparation is vast. Lin Yi can only prepare a dozen types of medicine now, and the road to medicine preparation is still long.

After half a year of preparing medicines, Lin Yi has discovered his own set of rules. As long as he continues to explore and collect, he believes that the level of preparation of his medicines will be even higher in the future, and he will be able to prepare more complex medicines.

The liquid medicine has been successful. The next goal is to start preparing pills, starting with the simplest ones.

The first step in preparing pills is to grind herbs.

Lin Yi couldn't bear to see the medicinal powder being ground for the first time. In the end, all that was left was some residue, and there was no trace of medicinal powder at all. It seemed very easy to see Mr. Fei before, but it turned out that the first step was very difficult.

I started polishing the second one, but there wasn't much progress yet.

However, Lin Yi was very persistent and repeated it over and over again. He couldn't count how many times he had repeated it. His soft little hands were full of blisters, but Lin Yi was very stubborn and would never admit defeat.

It actually took Lin Yi more than a month to grind the medicinal powder to make pills. Come to think of it, he himself could hardly imagine it. Looking at the ground medicine powder, Lin Yi smiled helplessly.

After the medicine powder was ground, the second step began. Put the medicine powder in the furnace according to the dosage and dilute it with water. This process went relatively smoothly and was successful only after several attempts.

The third step was the most important, baking it into pills.

The first time, only residue was left.

The second time, it didn't work.

It still didn't work.

...

I don't know how many times I tried it.

“It caught fire again!”

“The medicine's left!

“ “It smells bad!”

“The color is bad!”

“Nothing is bad!”

As the seasons changed, spring passed and fall arrived, the lonely Yao Peak became very quiet. Fortunately, some footprints were still visible, which indicated the traces of people. The disciples of the Jiuqing Sect were already accustomed to all this. None of them knew that there was a disciple named Lin Yi in the sect.

One day, a loud laugh suddenly came from the quiet Yaofeng.

“Haha, I finally did it!”

At this moment, Lin Yi was holding a pill in both hands. He was so happy that he couldn't help it, nor did he need to hold back. The pill had finally been successfully perfected by him. The joy lasted a long time. After calming down, Lin Yi devoted himself to perfecting it again.

Yao Peak seemed increasingly quiet, and there was no smell of humans. However, the scent of medicine from the peak grew stronger day by day, and slowly began to spread in all directions, attracting many small animals and bringing a different kind of vitality to Yao Peak.

One day, a stone door opened, and a tall and handsome young man came out. The young man stretched, flexed his muscles, and basked in the sun, feeling very comfortable.

This young man was none other than Lin Yi. Today, Lin Yi is fourteen years old. He has been in the Jiuqing Sect since he was five years old, and it has been almost ten years. The years have left their mark of maturity and gradual growth on the young man.

From knowing nothing when he first arrived at Jiuqingmen at the age of five to becoming a qualified pharmacist now, this is a big step forward in life. If he returns to the city now, he will definitely be an outstanding person.

Lin Yi thought that even though he could now refine quality pills, he had no idea how effective they would be.

Lin Yi took his pill and walked down Medicine Peak. This was one of the few times Lin Yi had left Medicine Peak since he entered the sect. Not long after, he arrived at the trading area. There was a relatively large flow of people here, but these faces were very unfamiliar to Lin Yi. Lin Yi chose an open space, took out a piece of paper that had been written on, spread it out in front of him, and waited in silence.

Watching the disciples come and go, sometimes a few of them glanced over here and hurried away, and often you could hear other people's discussions.

“Who is this person? He started selling pills at a very young age. At a glance, you can tell that the pills are fake. Nowadays, there are so many scammers, and they are getting younger and younger.”

After hearing this, Lin Yi made no attempt to defend himself. He could only smile helplessly. If the pills didn't really have that effect, Lin Yi himself would think that a fraudster was selling medicine.

Time passed slowly. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager walked over and sat down in front of the newspaper for a long time. He wanted to speak but hesitated. Finally, he plucked up the courage to ask Lin Yi, “Bro, do you have any pills to treat sprains?”

Lin Yi smiled and replied, ”Yes, but it depends on where you sprained it.”

“Look. Today, one of my fellow martial arts students sprained his foot while practicing martial arts. Now he is in so much pain that he can't stand up.”

Lin Yi thought for a moment and replied, “Bring him here for me to see, so that I can prescribe the right medicine and not delay his condition.”

At this point, the surrounding disciples gathered around and said to the boy, “Brother, don't be fooled. He's obviously a liar. You know how valuable those pills are. He couldn't possibly have them. You saw it was written that they were magical. It's obviously fake. Don't be fooled!”

The other disciples agreed.

“Don't let the disease go untreated, it will get worse.”

“Yes, yes!”

I exclaimed and you echoed me.

The boy also began to hesitate, not knowing what to do.

Lin Yi looked at the hesitant boy. This was his first transaction, so he had to make sure it wasn't a waste. He said, “Brother, go and bring that brother here. I will test the medicine on the spot. That way you can rest assured, right?”

Before the boy could say anything, the others spoke first, “What if something goes wrong with the test?”

The other students joined in the commotion, and more and more students gathered around him.

Lin Yi said loudly: ”I am Yaofeng's disciple, and I will not joke about Yaofeng's reputation.”

When all the disciples heard the word Yaofeng, they all shut their mouths. Yaofeng had a transcendent status in the sect, and it was the forbidden territory of Jiuqingmen.

Lin Yi continued: “Junior sister, if you trust me, go and bring the junior sister here now. If you don't trust me, then there's nothing I can do.”

The young man's gaze changed from hesitant to firm, and he left immediately.

Although the surrounding disciples did not disperse and no one dared to say a word, they were all waiting to see the joke. However, some disciples did have hope.
