After obtaining the Desire Gourd and Feng Wanwan’s Pill Master manuscripts, Yue Jinghua commanded Hong Yao, consuming nearly ten thousand Dark Pills, and collected hundreds of herbs. In the following days, she began intensive alchemy training to prepare for the Imperial Alchemist examination in Shang Kingdom one month later. To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools. In her previous life, Yue Xiaoqi had succeeded as a top spy due to two factors: her excellent personal qualities and the vast information system of the Grey Alliance behind her. If in the past Yue Xiaoqi could rely on the organization and Liao’s help, now Yue Jinghua could only rely on herself. She had to use the limited information she had to secure an absolute victory in the Pill Master examination. Before coming to Canglong Continent, Yue Jinghua had a limited understanding of the Eastern elixir system, only vaguely familiar with modern poisonology and human acupoint science. Sha Fei brought the Desire Gourd and also reliable news that the Imperial Alchemist examination was divided into medicine test and pill test. The medicine test evaluates the identification of nearly a thousand herbs, and the pill test is about alchemy. Remembering a thousand herbs was not difficult for Yue Xiaoqi who was from a spy background and had a brain comparable to a supercomputer. What truly concerned Yue Jinghua was the pill test, her varieties of alchemy were too few. Compared to Lie Sisi who studied alchemy techniques for years and served as a Pill Master at Yongchun Hall, her chances of winning were slim. Luckily, Yue Jinghua now had Feng Wanwan’s junior and middle-level Pill Master manuscripts. Yue Jinghua quickly flipped through the manuscripts from beginning to end. The manuscript recorded a total of one hundred eighty-three elixirs, from Mortal grade to Spiritual grade, all of which were accumulated by Feng Wanwan in his early years. Yue Jinghua practiced each elixir recipe once, the Mortal-grade elixirs were easier to make, but the Spiritual-grade ones were much harder, often taking three to four two-hour periods to complete one batch of Spiritual-grade elixir. Making elixir pills is undoubtedly a very energy-consuming task regarding spiritual power. For ten whole days, after draining her spiritual power several times, Yue Jinghua finally completed the first round of elixir-making. Producing elixir pills was very beneficial for enhancing spiritual power. In just ten days, her ability for Spiritual Attack had greatly improved. What was most valuable was that during this process, Yue Jinghua had an insight, combining the two beginner Dark Techniques, "Divine Stab" and "Devil’s Eye" to create a new Dark Technique effect, Instant Blindness. Instant Blindness is an explosive Dark Technique; as long as it’s well controlled, by activating "Devil’s Eye" and using "Divine Stab" simultaneously, it can cause the enemy brief eye pain and dizziness, catching them off-guard. Besides the extra gain in Dark Techniques, while completing the elixir production, Yue Jinghua also noticed that Feng Wanwan had a habit of jotting down alchemy notes. She would add personal suggestions behind each recipe. These were often her many years of alchemy insights, capable of increasing the pill success rate and reducing the waste pill rate. Upon finishing all the manuscripts, Yue Jinghua noticed a remark at the end, "Under specific circumstances, Dark Fire can help improve the success rate of elixir production, and Dark Water can increase the grade of elixirs to a certain extent." Yue Jinghua had the Chaos Green Lotus Fire, a type of Dark Fire. As a novice like her without the help of Chaos Green Lotus Fire, the success rate of alchemy would greatly be reduced, let alone producing a Spiritual-grade Feminine Charm Pill. As for Dark Water, according to the decades of alchemy insights recorded by Feng Wanwan, Dark Water does not only refer to the spiritual spring water in nature. The Spiritual Liquid obtained from the spirit wood like Spiritual Flower Honey, tree sap, etc., also fall under the category of Dark Water. Upon reading the notes on Dark Water, Yue Jinghua almost immediately remembered the Green Wood Lotus Liquid she had on hand. The Green Wood Lotus, nurtured by Fire yet belonging to the Wood Attribute, excretes a Green Liquid with extraordinary uses, its only flaw being the mysterious origin and scarcity, producing only one drop at a time. Yue Jinghua spent four days and gathered only four drops. Besides the first time she used a drop to strengthen her bones and meridians, Yue Jinghua planned to use the Green Liquid every ten days to fortify her body. However, now according to what Feng Wanwan said, Green Wood Lotus Liquid also belongs to a type of Dark Water. After some thought, Yue Jing ushered at the idea of applying the Green Liquid on elixir pills. She diluted the Green Liquid and selected several recipes.
