When Feng Yuqin left Song Jianming and returned to her courtyard, it had already been tidied up neatly.
"Xia Hao, go and attend to my cousin, Sun Jian, and Ke Ruxia. Wait for me in the outer courtyard." Feng Yuqin said to Xia Hao who was following behind her.
"Sure, Elder Feng." Xia Hao replied.
Feng Yuqin walked into her room and entered the space.
"Master..." Xiaoying and Xiaojin greeted happily when they saw Feng Yuqin enter the space.
"I'm going to check on Su Bing." Feng Yuqin said.
"She just finished refining a batch of pills." Xiaojin said.
Feng Yuqin nodded. When she went to the alchemy room, Su Bing was about to continue refining pills when she saw Feng Yuqin walk in.
"Master." Su Bing put down the medicinal herbs in her hand and greeted Feng Yuqin.
"I'll take you out first. Then you can ask me any questions about alchemy. I may need to go into seclusion for a few months next." Feng Yuqin said.
"Okay." Su Bing nodded.
She did encounter some problems while refining pills and wanted to ask Feng Yuqin.
However, she went out of the alchemy room once before and learned that Feng Yuqin was unavailable, so she continued refining pills.
When Feng Yuqin took Su Bing out, Yan Xiao, Ke Ruxia and the others were already waiting in the outer courtyard.
"Take a seat." Feng Yuqin invited them to sit in a small pavilion in the courtyard specially for drinking tea and chatting. "Xia Hao, come and sit too."
Xia Hao, who was standing not far away, was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. "Elder Feng, did you mean for me to sit too?"
"Yes. I may need your help with some outside errands next." Feng Yuqin said.
Hearing this, Xia Hao was very excited. He quickly walked to the empty seat next to Sun Jian and sat down.
"Next, I have a few things to tell you." Feng Yuqin said. "First, I told you before that I'm going to participate in the competition in Tiancheng. So during this period, you should go into seclusion and try your best to reach the next stage. I'll provide you with enough medicinal herbs. Just focus on alchemy and don't worry about anything else."
After saying that, Feng Yuqin took out three storage bags that had been packed. "Cousin, Sun Jian, Ruxia, you three divide these medicinal herbs. The ones refined by Su Bing are in my alchemy room."
"Aqin, did you do something earth - shattering again? How do you have so many medicinal herbs?" Yan Xiao was stunned when he took a look at the medicinal herbs in the storage bag.
Sun Jian and Ke Ruxia were also shocked after seeing them.
"Elder Feng, isn't this too many medicinal herbs?" Sun Jian said in surprise.
He had never seen so many medicinal herbs in his life.
Ke Ruxia also dared not take them. "Elder Feng, we will work hard on alchemy, but these medicinal herbs are too much. You should keep some for yourself, as you also need to refine pills."
Su Bing knew that Feng Yuqin was always generous when it came to such things. She had gotten used to being shocked, so she didn't react as strongly as Ke Ruxia and Sun Jian.
Xia Hao knew Sun Jian quite well. From Sun Jian's reaction, he could guess that the storage bag might be full of medicinal herbs.
This made him very curious and in awe of Feng Yuqin.
Especially the thing about making several elders lose face today. Probably Feng Yuqin was the only one in history who could make four elders of the guild lose face at the same time.
"If these two knew how many medicinal herbs the master has, they probably wouldn't say so." Xiaoying said in the space.
"Yes, the medicinal herbs the master took out today are just a drop in the bucket. After all, the master got a lot of medicinal herbs from those elders this time, so the master's supply of medicinal herbs is quite sufficient." Xiaojin said with a smile.
"Since I'm giving them to you, they're yours." Feng Yuqin said. "As for my own refining, I definitely have enough medicinal herbs. You don't need to worry about this.
So now what you should tell me is what problems you've encountered during the alchemy process. Tell me everything. I'll make preparations for what might happen next according to your situations."
"Can Elder Feng prevent problems that might occur later in the alchemy process?" Sun Jian asked in surprise, looking at Feng Yuqin.
Yan Xiao, who was sitting next to Sun Jian, immediately put his hand on his shoulder and said, "You don't know Aqin well. She's probably the most powerful alchemist in the world. There's nothing she can't do, only things you can't think of."
Feng Yuqin twitched the corner of her mouth hard. "Cousin, can you be less exaggerated?"
Saying there's nothing she can't do?
Did he think she was a god?
"I'm just stating the fact." Yan Xiao spread his hands helplessly.
"Okay, time is limited. Let's get back to business." Feng Yuqin said to Yan Xiao and the other three. "The four of you, come one by one. Tell me the problems you've encountered and the process of your alchemy. If you're not sure, you can also refine pills on the spot."
"I'll go first." Yan Xiao said. "Anyway, you've seen me refine pills. I'll just describe the situation I'm facing now."
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Go ahead."
"During the refining process, I always feel that I have a problem with controlling the heat at the last step. As a result, the success rate of pill - making is less than 60%, and the quality is at most 50%. It doesn't meet my standards. Also..." Yan Xiao's words stunned Sun Jian and Ke Ruxia.
A 60% success rate and 50% quality, and he was still not satisfied?
The two looked at each other and instantly felt deeply discouraged.
After Feng Yuqin heard him describe all his situations, she immediately gave answers according to his situation.
Except for Xia Hao, the other four people present felt enlightened after listening.
Especially Yan Xiao. Since Feng Yuqin was answering according to his situation, he felt it most deeply.
Next was Su Bing. Su Bing's alchemy was taught by Feng Yuqin herself, so her situation was even better than Yan Xiao's.
At least her success rate of pill - making could reach 60% - 70%.
Sun Jian and Ke Ruxia felt it was like a dream.
They even began to wonder if they were dreaming.
Why were the people around Elder Feng so easily able to achieve a 60% - 70% success rate and quality in pill - making?
How could they live with their 20% - 30% success rate?
After Su Bing's problems were solved by Feng Yuqin, it was Sun Jian and Ke Ruxia's turn.
Since Feng Yuqin didn't know much about them, she asked them to refine pills directly.
The two refined pills at the same time so that Feng Yuqin could observe their situations simultaneously and find out the problems.
Then, according to their situations, Feng Yuqin also came up with corresponding solutions.
After Sun Jian and Ke Ruxia heard Feng Yuqin's solutions, they couldn't wait to follow her instructions immediately. They had a hunch that following Feng Yuqin's method might really help them break through their long - standing 20% - 30% success rate of pill - making.
Feng Yuqin also noticed their reactions and said to them, "Su Bing and Xia Hao stay. Cousin, Sun Jian and Ke Ruxia, go back and refine pills."
"Yes, Elder Feng." Ke Ruxia and Sun Jian excitedly ran back to their rooms. Yan Xiao also returned to his room.
All the methods proposed by Feng Yuqin were quick - fix methods tailored to them. So as long as they worked hard, they were sure to achieve good results before leaving seclusion.
"Xia Hao, from tomorrow on, you don't need to be responsible for the task of exchanging medicinal herbs anymore." Feng Yuqin said.
Xia Hao was stunned. "Does Elder Feng think I'm incompetent, so you're going to replace me?"
