Chapter 21: Refining Pills

Outside the room.

"Plop, plop…" Zi Yu Di clutched her chest. She was inexplicably nervous, her face as red as a cherry. "He… he likes me too. Ahhh… so embarrassing…" Zi Yu Di calmed her emotions and didn't dare to stay any longer, running away.

[Ding, favorability +1. Obtained 1 favorability coin.]

Chen Mo: "…"

He didn't expect to receive so many favorability points just by confessing.

Currently, the host's experience has reached 93. The favorability has also reached 91. If he kissed her on the lips, wouldn't that be amazing?

Chen Mo inexplicably looked forward to it. Although it wasn't to the point where they could become dao companions, with 91 favorability, a kiss on the lips shouldn't be too bad, right? Bah, lowly.

Chen Mo said that his injuries weren't serious and that it wasn't life-threatening. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. He still felt pain all over his body. Of course, normal activities such as walking wouldn't be a problem. However, he couldn't take too big of a step. If he walked a little faster, it would affect the injuries in his body. It seemed that he could only wait for the time being to cultivate his battle skills.

But what was Top Level Fire Control - (Pinnacle)? Chen Mo clicked on it to take a look. According to the system's description, Fire Control - (Pinnacle) allowed him to control flames perfectly and he could control the size and temperature of the flames as he wished. In other words, with this talent skill, the Buddha's Fiery Lotus in Chen Mo's mind could be turned into reality. And for alchemy, this skill could be said to be a godly skill. Of course, it wasn't omnipotent. For example, it couldn't help with refining flames or absorbing flames.

After understanding these things, Chen Mo flipped through the Medicine Sage's Alchemy Manual to see if there were any pills that could heal his current injuries and improve his current cultivation. Among the first-grade pills, there were Rejuvenation Powder, Blood Coagulation Powder, Wound Recovery Pill, Restoration Spirit Liquid, and so on. Among these, the best was Restoration Spirit Liquid. Fire Coagulation Pill could increase the efficiency of fire energy absorption. Qi Gathering Pill could effectively increase the absorption of battle qi.

Chen Mo copied down the medicinal ingredients of these pills and then walked out of the room. However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, two spears were placed on his neck. "Without Her Majesty's order, you are not allowed to leave this room."

Two sturdy Snake-people guards were guarding outside Chen Mo's door, with long spears in their hands. Under the system's detection, their cultivations were all Dou Grandmaster. It seemed that Queen Medusa really treated him as a slave and even restricted his freedom.

Hmph, there will be a day when this young master will press her down on the bed and fiercely… whip her until she calls him master. Chen Mo thought to himself. Wearing a smile on his face, he removed the spear from his neck and asked, "Brothers, do you have any alchemy rooms or shops here?"

There was no response. "Then, did Her Majesty tell you what I can obtain?" There was still no response. Uh… "Um… Where does Queen Medusa's sister live? Can I go look for her?" The serpent-man guard finally responded, "No." Uh, do you have to be so stingy with your words? "Then can I trouble you to inform Her Majesty's sister?" The other party fell into silence again. "F*ck…" Chen Mo cursed in his heart. After calming himself down, a smile appeared on his face once again. He took out the paper he copied from the storage ring and handed it over. "Then can I trouble you to inform Her Majesty and see if Her Majesty can prepare these medicinal ingredients and a medicinal cauldron for me?"

The two snake-man guards looked at each other. One of them took a look and immediately said, "Look after him!" The other snake-man guard nodded his head and left.

In a magnificent and majestic hall, this was Queen Medusa's bedroom. Queen Medusa lazily lay on the throne with one hand supporting her head and the other holding a piece of paper. Her red lips curled up. "Interesting, he actually knows how to refine pills? Sure, prepare according to his request, but…"

---

"These are the medicinal ingredients Her Majesty has prepared for you. However, Her Majesty has a request. After you refine the pills, ninety percent of the profits will go to Her Majesty."

The snake-man guard took out the medicinal ingredients and the medicinal cauldron from the storage ring and piled them into a small mountain in the room. "Ninety percent?!" Chen Mo was shocked and said, "Brother, did you hear wrong? Ninety percent? Isn't this too high?" The snake-man guard ignored him. After putting down the medicinal ingredients, he walked out of the room. Chen Mo wanted to cry, but no tears came out. It turned out that Her Majesty was a snake thief. But after all, they were her medicinal ingredients. Chen Mo could only endure silently and wait for the day when he could turn the tables.

It was his first time refining pills. It was much smoother than Chen Mo expected. Refining these first-grade pills was not difficult at all. In less than an hour, Chen Mo had refined the Healing Pill. The longan-sized pill was brown in color and exuded a rich medicinal fragrance. The most important thing was that this pill was almost perfect. There were only a few impurities. That was the problem with the cauldron. Because it was just an ordinary cauldron, it could not withstand heat at all. Chen Mo could only control the temperature to a level that the cauldron could withstand. This caused the impurities to appear in the pill.

Chen Mo swallowed it directly. After spending about ten minutes recuperating, Chen Mo began to refine the next batch. This time, Chen Mo did not refine the pills one by one. Instead, he refined three pills together. He directly threw in three batches of medicinal ingredients for the Healing Pill. Because from the situation of the first pill, it was simply child's play.

Half an hour later, all three Healing Pills were refined out of the furnace. They were also close to perfection. However, Chen Mo felt that this was not his limit. Unfortunately, Queen Medusa only prepared five batches of each pill for him. Chen Mo began to refine the Healing Spirit Liquid. This time, Chen Mo threw in all five batches of medicinal ingredients. When the sky turned dark, Chen Mo refined all these medicinal ingredients into pills.

While Chen Mo was refining pills, Zi Yu Di came to find Chen Mo once. After hearing from the guard that he was refining pills, she was surprised and left in order not to disturb Chen Mo.

"Creak…" Chen Mo opened the door and gave the prepared pills to the snake-man guard. "These jade bottles are all for Her Majesty." The snake-man took a look. "90%. Why are there only two batches of the same pill?" "Do you understand? After using so many medicinal ingredients, there are still two batches of the same pill. As for the Healing Spirit Liquid, I don't have any," Chen Mo said. The snake-man looked at Chen Mo suspiciously and left with the jade bottle. He closed the door. A sly smile appeared on Chen Mo's face. 'You have a good plan, I have a ladder. You want to take 90% of my pills? No way.'

"These were all refined by him?" Queen Medusa held a brown pill and asked in surprise. "Yes, Your Majesty." The snake-man answered.
