“Preheat the Refining Cauldron for me.” Qin Lan ordered the disciple while he attempted to diagnose the severity of their poisoned condition. Since each of them was poisoned to a different degree, he would have to initiate a few types of treatment on them.

The tense atmosphere on this ground floor of the Medicinal Pavilion is somewhat choking to the medicine boys and visitors. Especially to the pavilion’s assistants, all of them were behaving like headless chickens right now.

“Those on duty will get back to what you’re doing initially. As for those unrelated, finish your business here and return to your residence. And to those that shouldn’t be here, return to where you come from.” Qin Lan said as he removed his hand from Qian Shou’s wrist.

He flicked his fingers at the trio after he’s finished with his speech and diagnosis of Qian Shou’s condition. His words quickly get the people to disperse and return to what they were doing. Even the few Servant Disciples that shouldn’t be lingering here left immediately after hearing what Qin Lan just said.

As for Qin Lan, he shifted his attention to the four rescued disciples after reading the trio’s pulse. They didn’t look as famished as he thought. But they looked like they had another problem.

Qin Lan simply smiled and indicates them to come to him.

As they came closer to him, Qin Lan swiftly pressed the acupoint between their shoulders, heart, and upper stomach with his finger coated in Pure Spiritual Energy. His swift action forced them to vomit the second Fasting Pill out from their system.

Evidently, they look much better after vomiting and creating a mess on the floor.

“Get your mess cleaned and grab a Sweet Dragon Grass from the counter and chew them raw. You’ll get hungry soon enough, so make your way to the canteen after this.” Qin Lan said and shifted his attention to Qian Lang.

“Hmmm…” his expression became complicated when it was Qian Lang’s turn. The latter had the same poison symptom as Mang Jiu but evidently on a higher dosage. Although using the same treatment method would help keep his life, it wasn’t a perfect treatment.

Furthermore, although he can treat people in their second or third stage of Flesh Refining Realm, those above the third stage is riskier for Qin Lan right now. He would have to achieve a certain cultivation level before confidently administering the correct treatment at their problem.

Deciding to skip Qian Lang’s turn, Qin Lan’s attention fell on the burning hot cauldron ready for Pill-Refining. He extends his hand towards one of the Detoxification Fruit and skillfully makes an incision on the fruit’s surface.

Qin Lan extracted the juices from this fist-sized fruit by applying a slight Pure Spiritual Energy in and out of the fruit. His method quickly caught the attention of the busybody medicine boys that still remained in the pavilion’s lobby.

The method surprised them because they had never seen such an extraction method. Even those who helped the elders refine the pills before were confused by Qin Lan’s action.

But surprisingly, Qin Lan’s extraction method was more effective than what the elder did. The disturbing seeds inside the fruit seem to be not hindering the extraction at all.

“Can the Detoxification Fruit be juiced in such a way? How can nobody notice this method?”

“What if we get one to try? I want to see how easy it would be to extract the juices from this fruit.”

“Cmon, brother. Don’t tell me you’re prepared to pay two Flesh Tempering Pill to waste on a fruit?”

The medicine boys were discussing amongst one another after seeing what Qin Lan did with the fruit. But their shock did not finish here. The extract that Qin Lan pressed out from the fruit was going into the burning hot cauldron unevenly.

This action of his created a sizzling sound from liquid was evaporated because the Refining-Cauldron was too intense.

“No! The medicinal extract is wasted by him! Does he even know what is alchemy?” one of the medicine boys attacked Qin Lan verbally after hearing those sizzling sounds that came from the cauldron.

And to make things worst, Qin Lan decided to close the lid after he finished juicing the fruit and removed the fire.

“What’s the point of removing the flames if the medicinal extract was already burnt?” the medicine boy continued to comment angrily at Qin Lan’s amateurish action.

But to their surprise, a sweet, medicinal aroma was leaking from the gaps between the lid. The burnt smell that was predicted by the medicine boy didn’t appear like what he had guessed.

“How? How could this happen? It should have burnt the moment the extract gets into the Refining-Cauldron! Even if he managed to save some of them in the final moment, it was impossible to withstand such an intense flame that remained on the cauldron.” the medicine boy said.

“That’s because your understanding in alchemy is too shallow.” Qin Lan answered him. Evidently, he heard what everyone said while he was focusing on his pill refining.

“Always remember, there’s no Pill Refiner that would simply throw the ingredients into the cauldron before protecting them with a layer of Spiritual Energy. This just means that you’re not paying enough attention while helping the elders in their Pill-Refining.” Qin Lan shows him some guidance and what he possibly missed.

The aroma trapped inside the cauldron could no longer be contained as the lid was shaking fiercely. A moment’s later, the air within the pot decided to burst out as it enveloped the pavilion’s lobby with a gentle medicinal fragrance.

After all the commotion, Qin Lan placed his hand into the Refining-Cauldron and took two pills out from within. The refined pill had a beautiful, green luster on the surface. Based on the look alone, there was no doubt that these two are adequately refined medicinal elixirs.

“Are my eyes joking with me right now?” the same medicine boy said as he had difficulties closing his mouth.

“Refining Realm’s Common Antidote? Are they really the Refining Realm’s Common Antidote that even the elder only have a 50 to 60 percent of successful refining rate?” he asked.
