I Can Extract Everything

After playing with the kittens for a full hour, Qin Yi finally went down to his primary business at this space.

Now that the island was finished, he now needed to make a water channel that would be connected to the entire area. He intends to create five channels that will connect to five different areas.

Although heaven and earth materials do not need to be watered, they still need to absorb water from the surrounding area. Otherwise, no matter how wondrous they are, they will lack nutrition, and consequently, it will affect their quality.

Without any further ado, he immediately used the Earth Moving Technique to create these channels. He speculated it would take more than a month to complete this strenuous work, but he can take his time doing it.

Several hours later, Qin Yi decided to stop and returned to Star Pearl Island. There, he saw the kittens sleeping on top of a branch of the Star Pearl Tree.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, he decided to place his entire focus on concocting pills..

He took out his Snake Swallowing Cauldron and began to prepare the ingredients for practising pill making.

Ever since Qin Yi's Spiritual Mind size reached 70, thanks to that fellow Wu Kun, his ability to make pills improved significantly.

Now he could make ordinary pills like the Qi Strengthening Pill with ease. Though, he still had difficulty increasing the purity level of the pill.

However, practice makes perfect.

As long as he practices continuously, one day, he can reach perfection.

With that kind of mind, he never missed a day practising his alchemy skill. No matter how busy he was, he always spared his time to do that.

The time for the Secondary Profession Apprentice Exam draws near. If possible, Qin Yi wants to increase the purity level of the pills he makes when that time comes. 

Even though he is confident that he would pass the test, he wanted to impress the official Alchemists later with his skill.

He heard that the Secondary Profession Association is a considerable force. They aren't a sect, but their power may be on par with the strongest sects in this region.

No— In fact, the power of the Secondary Profession Association is a lot higher because this force exists not only in the Azure Dragon Region but in the other three regions. What's more, each branch in each region has equal strength.

Therefore, Secondary Professionals have a high position and are highly respected by cultivators. Putting aside their status, those people's ability to produce miraculous things such as artifacts, pills, talismans, and so on, deserved to be admired and needed by many.

Anyway, the pill that Qin Yi wanted to make this time is called the "Body Strengthening Pill". 

Taking this pill would greatly increase the cultivation speed of a cultivator who is proficient in practising body refining cultivation techniques.

This pill could be bought in common pill shops, and the price is almost the same as the other pills, and it depends on the rank and quality. Unfortunately, the purity level of these pills circulating in the market is only 70 at most and that is only applied to high-ranking pills.

While it is good for body refiner cultivators to consume these pills, they would only add to the burden if they relied too much on this pill.

"This will be my first time making another pill other than the Qi Strengthening Pill. I wonder what are the chances of success I have this time around?" Qin Yi murmured.

He naturally wouldn't be satisfied with just making a simple pill like the Qi Strengthening Pill. While making a Body Strengthening Pill isn't as easy as making a Qi Strengthening Pill, it is only a small margin away.

However, since Qin Yi is able to make Qi Strengthening Pill easily thus, making Body Strengthening Pill isn't too difficult for him as long as he paid attention to the details.

Besides, both his cultivation base and spiritual mind have improved a lot. It added to his confidence to be able to succeed on this first attempt.

Qin Yi started to concentrate.

He skillfully separated the various ingredients, his hands moving at such a breakneck pace that shows how accustomed he is to do that due to him practicing pill concocting every day.

In addition, he also reads a lot of alchemy theory books that allow him to easily and quickly recognize any alchemy materials available in front of him.

There are some essential ingredients for making this Body Strengthening Pill, which is the blood of Magical Beasts, and their rank depends on what rank pill the Alchemist wants to make.

Apart from Magical Beast blood, he also needed Demon Exterminating Grass; This heaven and earth material has violent characteristics, so he needed to be extra careful in processing it. The rest is only used as complementary ingredients.

Qin Yi threw several ingredients into the cauldron. However, he did not dump everything inside. He had only thrown about one-third of the ingredients on hand, then his right hand jolted, he gave a snort, and suddenly a scarlet flame appeared on his extended palm.

Ignition—— this is the fundamental ability every Alchemist should have. It was also why every Alchemist needed to learn the fire-controlling art.

The reason concocting pills is a difficult task is that it is difficult to control the temperature level.

Should one use firewood to start the fire, it would be tough to control the heat level of the fire, let alone achieve the precision required to concoct pills. 

In theory, the higher the grade of the pill, the stricter the requirements for controlling the fire.

The fire-controlling art that Qin Yi learned was called the Scarlet Fire Controlling Technique.

Even though it is only a Human Grade martial skill, it is the best among the fire-controlling arts in the Myriad Books Library. On top of that, he has perfectly mastered it, all thanks to the system's features.

With this level of a perfect mastery of the fire-controlling art, he should be confident enough to create a higher rank pill. However, Qin Yi is still inexperienced in it. After all, he had only learned to make pills for no more than two months.

Therefore, in his opinion, he needed to build up strong experience first before he had the confidence to concocted a higher rank pill.

Most importantly, he thought that it would be better if he practiced more to increase the purity level of the pill first before he decided to make a higher rank pill.

After all, what's the point of successfully concocting a high-rank pill if the purity level of the pills he produces is still stuck between 60-70%?

Qin Yi's hands continued to spin, heating every nook and cranny of the cauldron. The heat required for various parts of the cauldron is different. 

Here, apart from the fire-controlling art, the quality of the cauldron is also crucial for Alchemists.

Although ordinary and cheap cauldrons are usable, they usually don't have high heat endurance and heat penetration; as a matter of fact, they are very easy to explode if there is a slight error during the pill-concocting process.

This was also one of the main reasons Xue Chan always failed at concocting pills. She lacked in many ways, whether it was her shallow alchemy knowledge, passable talent, low mastery of the fire-controlling art, and the cauldron she used was very cheap.

From these aspects, Qin Yi could guess that this girl would still not pass the Apprentice Alchemist Exam next month. Even if she didn't give up for another year, it would be difficult for her to continue practicing pill concocting without the help of sufficient resources.

After all, any profession of Secondary Professions is like a bottomless pit, especially Alchemist.

Unlike Qin Yi, who could casually extract resources from here and there, Xue Chan, on the other hand, could only rely on herself to earn more resources.

Moreover, she also needed to obtain sufficient resources for her cultivation.

What a poor girl.

Unfortunately, Qin Yi couldn't help her even if he wanted to.

In this cultivation world, there is something called The Law Of Equivalent Exchange. It's a simple concept: one cannot gain something from nothing, and so in order to obtain something, something else of equal value must be lost.

Although Qin Yi had once received help from Xue Chan, he had already reciprocated by helping her back by answering many questions about alchemy knowledge.

So, there was no longer any reason for him to help her any further than this.

On the contrary, if he gives too much, she may take it for granted.

Fortunately for Xue Chan, Senior Sister Lan Qianhua gave her a guarantee to enter the Wondrous Pills Peak after she completed this mission. Once she gets in there, her burden will surely be reduced a lot.

As long as Xue Chan continued to work hard and never give up, she would eventually become an official Alchemist in no time.
