Can Daxia create an alchemy furnace? Sincerely, Su Qinghan

Lin Mo had no idea that his actions had been misinterpreted by that deacon.

If he knew what the other party was thinking, he would probably just reply, "You're overthinking it."

He admitted that Elder Su was indeed a stunning beauty, with a gentle and approachable demeanor.

But he wasn't someone who would be captivated by a pretty woman.

All his thoughts were currently focused on how to quickly become stronger; he had no time for romantic dalliances.

What attracted him to Su Qinghan was merely her identity as a "Pill Hall Elder" and the Alchemy she commanded.

Soon, Lin Mo followed Su Qinghan's steps and arrived at a unique area.

This was the Pill Hall, where a faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, completely different from other parts of the Sect.

The Pill Hall housed over a dozen independent rooms. Lin Mo casually glanced around and could see the towering Pill Furnaces inside through the open doorways.

A question arose in his mind.

Pill Furnaces.

He wondered if these Pill Furnaces had any special structure and if Great Xia could replicate them later.

Lin Mo felt a pang of worry about this.

Alchemy naturally required Pill Furnaces; they were the most basic tools.

But in Great Xia, a world dominated by technology, where would they find such Xuanhuan-esque items?

Even if they did, they would only be decorative.

They likely wouldn't achieve any real Alchemy effects.

And if he had to rely on himself to provide Pill Furnaces to Great Xia, the efficiency would be too slow.

After all, he could only transmit items to Lin Xiyue once every sixty days.

Converted to Blue Star time, that was three hundred and sixty days, a whole year.

Furthermore, what could one Pill Furnace accomplish? Its effect would be negligible, utterly insufficient to meet the massive population base of the entire Great Xia.

Moreover, the opportunity to transmit items was incredibly precious, and he planned to use it for more critical things. Wasting it on Pill Furnaces seemed rather uneconomical.

Walking beside him, Su Qinghan noticed Lin Mo stop, staring intently at the surrounding Pill Rooms, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

To be honest, she had briefly entertained the thought that this Disciple might be using an excuse to get closer to her.

But now, seeing Lin Mo's focused gaze on the Pill Furnaces, she dismissed her doubts.

This Disciple was genuinely interested in Alchemy.

Thinking this, she spoke up, her voice gentle: "Why, are you very curious?"

"These few Pill Rooms are temporarily unused; you can go in and look around."

Hearing this, Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony.

"Then thank you, Elder Su; this Disciple is indeed curious."

With that, he chose the nearest Pill Room and walked in with Su Qinghan.

Upon entering the Pill Room, Lin Mo walked directly to the giant Pill Furnace, which was several heads taller than him.

He didn't hesitate, reaching out to tap and knock on the bronze-colored furnace body with his knuckles, producing dull "thumping" sounds, trying to understand its structure and material from the sound and feel.

This action made Su Qinghan feel a little puzzled.

Aren't you here to learn Alchemy? Why are you so interested in the Pill Furnace itself?

However, she didn't ask, merely guessing in her heart that perhaps Lin Mo had never encountered Alchemy before, and thus found the Alchemy tools very novel.

A moment later, Lin Mo's investigation came to an end.

He let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He had secretly sent out a wisp of Divine Sense to investigate just now and could confirm that this was just an ordinary Pill Furnace.

There were no complex Formations inside the furnace body as he had imagined, nor any special structure at the bottom for storing natural spiritual flames.

Yes, this was indeed a Pill Furnace that couldn't be more ordinary, so ordinary that Lin Mo was certain Great Xia would absolutely be able to replicate it.

Thinking of this, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Mo's face.

With this, the biggest problem was solved.

"Lin Mo, are you very interested in Pill Furnaces?"

Seeing Lin Mo suddenly smile at the Pill Furnace, Su Qinghan found it amusing and couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, I apologize, Elder, for making you laugh."

Lin Mo came back to his senses, scratched his head, and quickly explained:

"It's like this, I've always been curious if the Pill Furnaces used for Alchemy would be some powerful Magic Treasure, inscribed with Formation runes, or hiding some special flames..."

"Oh, so that's it."

Su Qinghan chuckled.

"It's normal for you to have such thoughts. After all, for an Alchemist, a Pill Furnace is an extremely important companion."

"However, the Pill Furnaces here are all just the most ordinary mortal-grade items and do not possess the functions you mentioned."

She paused, then continued: "Look, check out mine."

As her voice fell, Su Qinghan flipped her delicate hand, and an exquisite, small Pill Furnace appeared before her.

Lin Mo looked over and found that this Pill Furnace was warm and lustrous throughout, emitting a faint halo, and its surface carried a subtle, ethereal medicinal fragrance, a stark contrast to the giant bronze Pill Furnace from before.

Lin Mo was puzzled, so he directly asked Su Qinghan: "This Disciple is unclear, why is the Pill Furnace in Elder Su's hand different from these?"

He pointed to the large Pill Furnace nearby, then to the small Pill Furnace in front of Su Qinghan.

"Lin Mo, you should know that in the Cultivation world, the grades of Magic Treasures, from low to high, are divided into Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Magic Treasures, and Spirit Treasures, right?"

Lin Mo nodded; he understood these basic common sense facts.

"Elder Su's meaning is?"

"Still haven't figured it out?"

Su Qinghan's tone carried a hint of guidance.

"These large, ordinary Pill Furnaces are actually unranked; they don't even count as Magical Artifacts, so naturally, they don't have the profound mysteries you imagine."

"And the one in my hand is a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact."

Su Qinghan continued to explain: "Its interior is inscribed with Formations that assist Alchemy."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Lin Mo suddenly understood.

But he immediately had a new question: "Then what's the difference in Alchemy between these ordinary Pill Furnaces and the Pill Furnace in your hand, Elder?"

"There's a big difference."

Su Qinghan's answer was straightforward.

"A good Pill Furnace, for an Alchemist, not only makes the Alchemy process easier but can also significantly increase the chance of successful pill Formation and the quality of the Medicinal Pill."

"Of course, the most important point is that Medicinal Pills above second-grade must be made using a ranked Pill Furnace to have any chance of success."

Hearing this, Lin Mo completely understood.

So these giant Pill Furnaces were so ordinary because they were meant for Disciples to practice with, to refine Low Grade Medicinal Pills like first and second-grade.

To refine higher-grade Medicinal Pills, one had to switch to a truly Advanced Pill Furnace.

"Can they only refine second-grade Medicinal Pills at most?"

"Hmm, for Great Xia at this stage, it's completely sufficient."

"After all, on the land of Great Xia, Spiritual Qi is thin, and even if some medicinal herbs can be found, their quality won't be high."

"So, even if they were given a divine furnace that could refine Immortal Pills, without corresponding top-tier Spirit Medicine, it would be useless!"

Lin Mo pondered in his heart.

"Alright, come with me."

Seeing that Lin Mo no longer had questions, Su Qinghan put away her Pill Furnace and led him to her own Pill Chamber.

After entering the Pill Chamber, she thought for a moment, then directly took out three items from her Storage Ring.

A Pill Furnace about waist-high to her, and two porcelain bottles of different colors.

"These are third-grade elixirs, Jade Dew Rejuvenation Pill and Vitality Pill."

Su Qinghan handed the two porcelain bottles to Lin Mo.

"The former can help you quickly restore spiritual power, and the latter can help you heal injuries quickly."

"You take them first."

Su Qinghan didn't give Lin Mo a chance to refuse, directly stuffing the two porcelain bottles into his arms.

"Uh, Elder, there's no need for..."

Lin Mo still wanted to decline, but Su Qinghan directly interrupted him.

"Take them if I give them to you. That moon cold flower of yours is priceless; don't make me feel bad."

Hearing Su Qinghan say so, Lin Mo no longer insisted.

"Then thank you, Elder Su."

Seeing Lin Mo accept the Medicinal Pills, Su Qinghan then pointed to the small Pill Furnace.

"This is the Pill Furnace my Revered Master gave me when I first started learning Alchemy. It's a High Grade Magical Artifact, enough for you to refine third-grade elixirs."

"Now, I bestow it upon you, hoping it will be of help to your future path in Alchemy."

Ah, this.

Lin Mo stared at the Pill Furnace, stunned.

He felt he probably wouldn't need this.

He had already made up his mind to first learn how to refine first and second-grade Medicinal Pills with ordinary Pill Furnaces, as this was the technology that could be popularized in Great Xia.

"Elder Su, this Pill Furnace should have special significance to you, right? I don't think I'll need this for now, so please take it back."

Lin Mo shook his head, declining again.

"Be obedient, take it."

Su Qinghan's voice remained gentle.

"This Pill Furnace would only gather dust with me now. Giving it to you can be considered putting it to good use, living up to Revered Master's expectations of me back then."

Forget it, no harm in taking it.

Since Su Qinghan insisted, Lin Mo couldn't refuse again and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, next, take these books with you."

Su Qinghan waved her hand, and a pile of thick ancient texts instantly appeared on the stone table in front of Lin Mo.

He casually picked up a few and glanced at them. The titles were 'Introduction to Alchemy Pharmacology,' 'Basic Alchemy Fire Control Techniques,' 'Preliminary Illustrated Guide to a Hundred Herbs'... all foundational knowledge needed to learn Alchemy.

And precisely what Great Xia needed most.

"Okay, thank you, Elder Su."

Lin Mo thanked her solemnly.

"Oh, and this moon cold flower, please keep it safe."

Since the other party had shown such great sincerity, Lin Mo naturally had to fulfill his promise.

He took out the jade box from his embrace and handed it over.

"Thank you, Lin Mo."

Su Qinghan carefully took the jade box, opened it, and after confirming that the moon cold flower inside was intact, a genuine smile finally appeared on her face.

With this moon cold flower of excellent vintage, she might be able to refine the boundary breaking pill to help her Revered Master Breakthrough her current Bottleneck.

As long as her Revered Master could successfully advance to the Golden Core Realm, the Qingxuan Sect's status would be even more secure, and they would no longer need to fear the covetousness of the nearby Sects.

Lin Mo naturally didn't know Su Qinghan had thought so much.

He was currently troubled by the pile of books and the Pill Furnace at his feet.

So many things, it seemed he couldn't take them all in one trip.

It looked like he would have to make several trips.

No, why go through so much trouble?

Wouldn't it be easier if I went to the Internal Affairs Hall to get a Storage Pouch first, then came back to pack them?

Thinking of this, he explained his situation to Su Qinghan.

"Ah? You just became an Inner Sect Disciple not long ago? And you haven't gone to collect the Storage Pouch issued by the Sect yet?"

After hearing Lin Mo's explanation, Su Qinghan was completely stunned.

"Then your strength?!"

She had always thought that Lin Mo was at least an experienced Disciple who had been immersed in the Inner Sect for many years; otherwise, how could he have single-handedly slain the powerful second-grade Advanced Yao Beast, You Ming Giant Python (Nether Giant Python)?

But who would have thought that Lin Mo had only been an Inner Sect Disciple for less than six days?

Seeing Su Qinghan's astonished reaction, Lin Mo was about to use the same excuse he had given the Grand Elder earlier.

However, before he could speak, a powerful aura swiftly descended from afar, arriving outside the Pill Chamber.

"Haha, you two are indeed here."

A booming voice accompanied a figure, appearing together at the entrance of the Pill Chamber.
