Chapter 820 Is This The Way Of Refining Elixirs
Fifteen minutester, with Elder Drew''s extremely fast flying speed, an enormous mountain range
which exalted a majestic ambiance loomed before them.
It stretched for tens of thousands of miles and was shrouded by clouds and mist, making it faintly
visible to the outside world.
Numerous grotesque peaks towered into the sky, and rare nts grew everywhere, forming a green
and verdant vegetableyer. Rare birds chirped, and their voices echoed through the valley while
pavilions, terraces, open halls, and magnificent pces dotted in the mountainnds.
The air along the entire mountain range was rich with the faint scent of elixirs and the fragrance spread
for dozens of miles, enchanting anyone who smelled it.
Austin spected that it must be headquarters of the Magic Hand Sect. . .
Elder Drewnded on one of the mountains and entered a cave.
With its massive and extensive interiors, the cave consisted of dozens of rooms including halls and
chambers.
Once Austin came in, he was almost intoxicated with a thick smell of elixirs that greeted his nostrils.
Elder Drew released Austin from his hold and threw two jade slips to him.
"Boy, one of these two jade slips records the information of tens of thousands ofmon elixirs.
The other one contains information about the necessary skills about duration and degree of heating,
liquid extraction, and more about the refining process.
Almost all standard elixirs are avable in my dwelling cave. Just help yourself and use as you like.
I heard from Fitch that you have a pretty solid basic understanding of the elixir refining. Good! It will
save me a lot of time from teaching you the basic foundation.
Well, now I will be gone for three to four days to pluck some herbs. We will start refining elixirs when I
Elder Drew borately told Austin.
"Could I use the elixirs here for trial refining?"
Austin was a little pleasantly surprised.
He took a broader look and found piles of elixirs in every corner of the dwelling cave.
Some of them were of high quality and level, including grade six and grade seven ones.
"Of course you can. You can also find some basic elixir refining methods in the jade slip I gave you.
There are also guides for elixirs identification, duration and degree of the heating, and elixir liquid
extraction.
You must practice more and train harder so that you could help me on my elixir refining process.
Try your best to learn and memorize the content in these two jade slips. Don''t dare to ck off and be
I will not pardon you if you drop the ball when we start refining elixirs."
After briefing Austin on his task, Elder Drew stepped out of the dwelling cave and soared up into the
sky. . . . .
Austin was left absentmindedly on the ground.
Elder Drew''s unexpected odd behavior was beyond Austin''s expectation.
Usually, the refinery assistant''s job was to pass elixirs, hold vessels, or run some errands when the pill
refiner was doing his business.
Strangely, Elder Drew directly gave Austin learning resources and told him to study the process
thoroughly.
More exaggeratedly, he allowed Austin to use the elixirs in his dwelling cave for trial elixir refining.
He was not recruiting an assistant but rather a disciple.
Typically, an assistant would only take a role to assist a pill refiner in collecting herbs and the process
of refinement. However, Austin got to do an actual pill refining task!
Austin couldn''t understand what it was all about, but he was still elevated at the given opportunity.
Since he had be a fourth level pill refiner, he seldom had time to settle down and explore the field
of elixir refining.
Now that the opportunity and elixirs were both avable for him, Austin decided to quickly get to work.
He pressed one of the jade slips on his forehead and tried his best to perceive the information in it.
The jade slip specifically held a record of fifty to sixty thousand kinds of elixirs.
Each elixir was described in full details in terms of its name, type, property, and regr ssifications.
Moreover, many illustrations were inserted for convenient memorization.
As a fourth level pill refiner, Austin could recognize most kinds of elixirs recorded in the jade slip.
For a few of the elixirs, he only knew the names without deep understanding.
Only over one hundred kinds of elixirs were totally unfamiliar to him.
Around half an hourter, Austin had memorized all the information about the elixirs that were new to
him. . .
Next, he picked up the other jade slip and pressed it on his forehead again.
It contained the information about elixir refining methods and some crucial matters that needed to be
remembered while in the middle of the refining process.
Both jade slips contained the rudimentary knowledge essential for elixir refining.
In the eyes of Elder Drew, Austin––as an apprentice and assistant––would need to start with the
basics.
However, as a fourth level pill refiner, most of the information in the jade slips was of little use to him.
He already had the necessary knowledge required, but the quite advance ones would help him as he
progressed in his training.
Soon, as he continued to probe on the jade slip, Austin had some new discoveries.
Except for themonly used elixir refining methods, something else caught his attention.
He was particrly curious about the ingenious and non-routine elixir refining principles and methods
that were within the jade slips.
Such were unexplored terrain of elixir refining field to Austin.
For example: arrange a mini array inside the herbal pot during the elixir refining process.
In this way, the vital energy between heaven and earth could be absorbed during the elixir refining

process, making the elixirs more potent.
In elixir property collocation, Yin and Yang, cold and hot properties, and even wetness and dryness of
ingredients must be taken into consideration to ensure the neutralization the finished elixirs––the ideal
goal for pill refiners.
But in the jade slip, many elixir property collocations went to extremes like the ones made of pure Yin
property ingredients or Yang property ingredients.
In this case, the finished products were also of extreme quality.
Generally speaking, fire was mostly used to refine elixirs.
But ording to the content in this jade slip, vital energy force could also be used.
It could be poured into the herbal pot to make different elixirs with mutually exclusive properties, melted
and mixed into a new kind of elixir.
It was absolutely impossible in traditional elixir refining methods, and Austin had never heard of such
sorts before. He couldn''t help but keep his mouth agape at the surprising discovery.
''Is it even possible to refine elixir in these ways?'' Austin was full of doubt.
Heid down the jade slip and shook his head.
"Elder Drew''s elixir refining methods are extraordinary and intriguing," Austin muttered.
But Austin was not a stick-in-the-mud.
Those strange elixir refining theories and methods had touched and inspired him so much.
He was very eager to see what would happen when Elder Drew could start his elixir refining process.
''It must be quite exciting!''
Curiosity was men''s nature, and Austin was no exception.
He would very much explore new and unorthodox ways of refining elixirs.
Although Angus had imparted brilliant elixir refining theories and methods to Austin before, Elder
Drew''s deviant means made him quite itchy to have a try. . .
After he was done learning the content of the two jade slips, Austin began to walk around the dwelling
cave, ncing over the stack of elixirs.
The cave was home to a wide variety of elixirs––very much like a store of potions and medicines.
Mostmonly used ones were all avable such as low-grade ones.
There were also high-grade elixirs such as grade sic or seven ones.
Especially for grade six and seven elixirs, a few drops of them would be enough to cause envy and
fight between ordinary warriors.
But they were only in that cave, bounded in bundles.
It was beyond imagination! Those elixirs were just in front of Austin!
Moreover, he also found forty to fifty precious, in herbal pots, each one with different characteristics
and grades.
"This is a golden opportunity for me!
Better to exercise my elixir refining skill while I''m here alone," Austin muttered to himself.
He was evidently ecstatic.
Angus had imparted all the elixir refining knowledge, methods, and experiences he had collected all his
life to Austin.
Austin had kept all those information in his Soul Sea, and practice was all he needed.
If he could make breakthroughs and be a fifth level or sixth level pill refiner, he would refine many
elixirs useful for his own cultivation.
By then he would definitely be hitting two birds with one stone!
Determined, Austin took out his brown purple herbal pot and ced it before him.
''Review the method of refining grade four elixirs first, '' he thought.
As his eyes swept over the stacks of elixirs, he found a dozen kinds of grade four materials he would
need.
