Alchemy & Martial Supreme

After drinking this cup of wine, yin Hesong asked directly, "Qin Ming, why did you refuse to join City Lord's Mansion?"    

He was very curious. Logically speaking, Qin Ming should have no reason not to join City Lord's Mansion.    

City Lord was very shrewd. Those who did not understand him very well would be confused by what he did on the surface.    

"I don't want to join any major power. Naturally, I won't join City Lord's Mansion." Qin Ming shook his head and said with a smile.    

Hearing this, tan Danqiu secretly cursed in his heart. If he didn't join the City Lord's Mansion for this reason, then he might not join the Mysterious Pill Pavilion harmoniously either.    

Yin Hen Song furrowed his brows. He didn't try to persuade Qin Ming to join Profound Pill Pavilion. Instead, he turned to discuss the Pill Tao.    

"Qin Ming, what do you think is the essence of alchemy?"    

When the others heard Yin Hesong's question, they remained silent. However, they were also thinking about what the essence of alchemy was.    

"The essence of pill refinement?" Qin Ming thought for a moment and said with a smile, "In my opinion, the essence of pill refinement is to borrow the medicinal properties of the Source Plant and combine them together to get rid of the poison in the pill and unleash its medicinal properties."    

"Right, also not right." Yin Hesong smiled and nodded. "The most important thing in alchemy is to utilize the medicinal properties of the Source Plant a hundred times, a thousand times more. As for the poison of the pill, the Alchemist can only try its best to get rid of it. It's impossible to get rid of it completely."    

"Using the medicinal properties a hundred times a thousand times?" Qin Ming was puzzled. Logically speaking, the medicinal properties of the Source Plant had already been fixed. How could it be used a thousand times more?    

Could it be that the medicinal properties were used to counter each other?    

The medicinal properties to counter each other could indeed unleash the medicinal properties of the Source Plant by thousands of times. But once the Alchemist was not grasped well, the pill refined would be a poison pill that was even more poisonous than ordinary poisons.    

Moreover, this kind of pill formula was very rare. If one wanted to research and develop this kind of pill formula, they might need countless living creatures to test it out.    

That was right. To study this type of pill formula, one could only use the life of a martial artist to test it out.    

Moreover, this sort of pill was extremely unstable. If one wanted to study it, they would need to test it out countless times.    

Every single one of these kinds of pill formula had countless innocent lives behind it.    

Qin Ming hated this type of pill formula very much. Even if this kind of pill's medicinal effects were extremely powerful, he still rarely refined it.    

Qin Ming did not shrink back and directly voiced out the worries in his heart, "The purpose of Alchemist refining pills is to let the Martial Cultivator use it. As for the pill that can bring out a medicinal effect that is thousands of times stronger, it needs the Martial Cultivator's life to study the pill formula."    

"Moreover, when the Alchemist is refining this kind of pill, it can only use the Martial Cultivator's life to test the pill. It is not something that we can take."    

"Even if this kind of pill's medicinal effects are extremely powerful, it has already gone against the original intention of refining the pill. It is not the right path!"    

When Alchemist refined this kind of pill formula for the first time, it naturally could not guarantee its absolute success.    

For ordinary Alchemist, refining a new type of pill required at least a hundred times of opening the furnace before it could succeed.    

In order to open the furnace a hundred times, other than the first few furnaces that were destined to fail, all of the other pill that were refined required Martial Cultivator to be consumed.    

Normally, if an Alchemist dared to consume a pill on its own, it would be able to clearly sense the medicinal properties within the pill. Even if it failed in concocting the pill, it could still forcefully digest the pill and know what was wrong with it.    

Therefore, the Alchemist would be better to consume the pill that was normally refined.    

However, the Alchemist absolutely did not dare to test out this kind of poison pill on its own. It could only find another Martial Cultivator to consume.    

There were many Martial Cultivator in this world. As long as they were given black stones, they would even dare to risk their lives.
