Chapter 1273 – Double Cultivation Is The Kingly Way (5)
Shen Yanxiao rested in the dormitory for one night. The next morning, taking the pass with her, she directly entered
the third floor of the Pure Spirit Tower.
On the third floor, Shen Yanxiao took out all the utensils needed to concoct potions from her storage ring.
She bought the most basic pharmaceutical supplies. She didn’t purchase any that were too sophisticated or
complicated.
Pharmaceutical supplies were cheap on the Moon God Continent, where every elf was basically equipped with a set
in their hands, so Shen Yanxiao did not spend too much money.
The prices of the potion formulas were also very cheap. With the exception of the grandmaster-level formulas, even
the master-level formulas were only a little over a thousand gold coins.
Most of Shen Yanxiao’s money was used to buy medicinal herbs.
Although the medicinal herbs of the Moon God Continent were cheap, the medicinal herbs Shen Yanxiao bought
this time would be used for the next few months, so she had a large stock
When concocting potions, Shen Yanxiao did not forget to take out the black crystal. She had specifically bought a
purse to put the black crystal into, so she could still make contact with the crystal even while concocting potions. In
that way Xiu, who was inside her body, could still absorb dark elements.
Shen Yanxiao really could not help but praise her own wit.
Putting everything in order, Shen Yanxiao first took out a high-level potion formula.
This formula was not hard to carry out; Shen Yanxiao intended to try and see the difference between the state of an
elf and a human while concocting potions.
Shen Yanxiao meticulously recorded the potion formula in her memory; she then began to rummage inside the
storage ring, searching for the medicinal herbs.
The moment her hand touched the medicinal herbs, Shen Yanxiao experienced a wonderful feeling pass from the
medicinal herbs in her hand to her mind.
She seemed to be able to clearly feel the freshness and integrity of these medicinal herbs.
This wonderful sensation made Shen Yanxiao feel very fascinated.
When extracting medicinal herbs, different techniques would bring different losses to the medicinal properties of the
herbs. A skilled collector could completely preserve all the medicinal properties of the herbs. But if one’s hands
were rough, the medicinal herbs they picked were likely to be damaged in the process
The freshness of the medicinal herbs was also related to the herbs’ medicinal properties. The more fresh they were,
the stronger the efficacy would be, but there were also some medicinal herbs that had a better effect if used a long
time after they had been extracted.
Human pharmacists mostly relied on their eyes to tell the freshness and integrity of medicinal herbs.
But now, Shen Yanxiao could clearly feel everything. The perception of the mind was much more detailed than the
observation of the naked eye.
This made it possible for her to select the best ingredients from a pile of medicinal herbs.
“It is no wonder that the elves are natural archers and pharmacists. This kind of talent is really unmatched by human
beings.” Shen Yanxiao was amazed by everything she was currently feeling.
She picked out some of the good ingredients from a pile of herbs needed to concoct the potion for the formula in
front of her.
The better the medicinal herbs were, the higher the purity of the concocted potions would be.
Shen Yanxiao began to process the herbs: milling, juicing, and filtering them.
She was very careful in every procedure. As the refining process progressed, Shen Yanxiao felt that her grasp of
these materials was becoming more and more accurate.
It wasn’t through her eyes, not through her sense of smell, but through her mind.
Her mind right now was like a pair of eyes. She could even see a lot of things that the naked eye couldn’t see. While
mixing the medicinal herbs, she could accurately proportion the weight of medicinal herbs to the weight of each
drop. When preheating, she could easily grasp how quickly the materials would change.
