Purity of the pill. It mainly determined how well the pill was prepared and purified.
The purity is evaluated in percentages, and if 50% and below was no more than poison for the body, then 60% and above were already used in everyday life. 100% purity was the rarest and belonged to the legendary.
If the pill was not pure enough, the cultivator could harm himself, and his strength would weaken, he would become a cripple. Therefore, it was important to purify the pill in such a way that there were no harmful impurities left.
Xie Qing took the book with basic recipes and studied it. There were more than a hundred pill recipes there, which would be useful only to mortals, cultivators would get no benefit from them.
The pills included Healing Pill, Strength Pill, Endurance Pill, and the like.
Each such pill would cost no more than 1,000 Huang, which was expensive for mortals, but cheap for cultivators.
Their names clearly showed what they were, so there was no point in explaining. Xie Qing thought for a bit and decided to start with the Strength Pill.
It was made from two herbs, one herb was easily accessible, and its name was Emerald Grass.
It was no different from ordinary tall grass, except for the presence of qi, which would feed the pill and act as oil, if analogous to cooking.
And the other herb was Bull Grass. It was similar to mint, only red and with a sharp smell, similar to the smell of iodine.
Everything in this herb was edible, of course, only after you boiled it to get rid of the poison. However, alchemists simply heated it in the oven.
Emerald Grass itself had the function of releasing Qi from itself, and at the same time strengthening the properties of other herbs, but this only worked with weak herbs that were not related to spiritual ones as such.
“So… you need to heat the oven with alchemical flame, and then use fire to dissolve the Emerald Grass first and then throw in the Bull Grass… okay, got it!”
Xie Qing quickly figured everything out, and the first thing he did was heat the oven. Considering his excellent control over the flame, this did not take long.
Five minutes later, he threw in the Emerald Grass and processed it in two seconds, then threw in the Bull Grass, and then the last ingredient – the Bowley Sphere.
This was an edible blank to put the prepared mixture inside. Just pour the prepared medicine into the pill mold and it’s done.
Xie Qing began to cook, and after five minutes, he made his first pill.
“Oh… what a strange texture, different from other pills I’ve held. It’s like it’s made of iron,” thought Xie Qing, raising an eyebrow, and then realized the reason: “Ah, I didn’t process it! That’s why the pill didn’t harden!”
Processing the pill was the last step to activate the Bowley Sphere and finish with the pill. All you had to do was embrace the pill with your Qi and press it, and voila – it’s done!
After a few seconds, Xie Qing was already holding a ready and hard pill, from which a fresh herbal aroma still emanated. He put it in a bottle and closed it to preserve the property of the pill even after an hour.
Then, choosing the next pill, he prepared the Healing Pill, and after ten minutes, two more Strength Pills.
With each prepared pill, he practiced so that he could cook them with his eyes closed. Strength Pills were prepared in two minutes, and the rest in five minutes.
Finally, all twenty bottles were filled to the brim. In total, he prepared almost forty pills of different types.
“This guy…”
“Forty pills in less than an hour?! Monster!”
The other disciples, of course, could not help but notice the horrifying speed of the young man in preparing the pills, they were horrified by his talent.
Some of the more advanced disciples just snorted, thinking that Xie Qing had decided to win by quantity, not quality, and eagerly awaited the evaluation.

After another twenty minutes, the time was up, and the twenty disciples stopped cooking, even if they were in the process.
“Everyone, stop cooking and extinguish the alchemical flame,” Lu Yin’s voice rang out, they looked at their group and said, “Rest for ten minutes and restore your strength, and in the meantime, I’ll check the other disciples.”
Twenty people nodded and began to meditate, except for Xie Qin, who did not need it. He watched as Lu Yin leaned forward to better explain to the disciple about his mistakes in cooking.
Were there any other guys who repeated after Xie Qin? Of course, there were, but they didn’t have time to see anything and with horror turned around, feeling a strong pressure and a thirst for murder themselves.
It was Xie Qin. He could not help but get annoyed when these rude disciples showed such rudeness to alchemy, and most importantly – to the girl, shamelessly staring at her butt!
…of course, our young gentleman forgot how he slept during the lectures and how he looked at her slender butt a minute ago.
One way or another, it should be noted that Lu Yin explained everything very well and had strong nerves, despite the presence of many stupid disciples.
Xie Qin imagined himself in her place and shook his head, interrupting the image of himself breaking some disciple’s skull for failing to awaken his flame for the hundredth time.
“No violence. Why did I even imagine that?”
***
Fortunately, after the time announced by the girl, she began to check the pills.
“Ten pills – 65% purity, five pills – failed. Passed.”
“Five pills – 61% purity, five pills – failed. Failed.”
“Six pills 67% purity, two pills – failed. Passed.”
“Seven pills 62% purity, ten pills – failed. Passed.”
“Twenty pills…”
One by one, she checked their prepared pills, and in the end, she rendered a verdict. Out of nineteen disciples, only ten passed, and the other nine failed.
Last was the young man Xie Qing, and there was a lot of attention on him. Many alchemists eagerly awaited the scene where all his pills would be failures.
Lu Yin, noticing the number of pills on the table, was surprised. She also thought that Xie Qing wanted to compensate for quality with quantity, but she said nothing.
Pill by pill, she studied their purity, and each time her face became stranger and stranger.
Many thought that the young man had failed in everything and already gleefully giggled. But they were waiting for Lu Yin’s reaction.
The girl looked at Xie Qin, and then, with a twitching left eye, she rendered the verdict.
“Twenty pills – 87% purity, ten pills – 80% purity, 3 pills – 92% purity, 3 pills 89% purity, and… 4 pills 98% purity.”
Shock! Everyone was in shock, each of them checked and pinched themselves on the cheek, hoping that they were asleep. But no, reality hit them and dealt a divine slap to their cheek!
Many doubted their hearing.
“Ha ha, it seems I’m getting old. Oh well, I’m already twelve, and my hearing is not what it used to be… remind me, what was his pill purity?”
“Comrade Daoist, what a coincidence. My hearing is also mumbling, probably old age has also struck my head.”
“Eeh…”
Many did not believe it, but seeing the seriousness on Lu Yin’s face and remembering her authority, no one doubted it anymore.
On many faces could be read envy and admiration. Talents in alchemy were not so common, and therefore many were pleasantly surprised.
Lu Yin, who evaluated the pills, was also shocked, and she admired the abilities of this young man. She looked at him with a complex expression and then asked:
“Can you provide these pills to me? I can even pay” said the girl.
The pills were so pure that they could help young cultivators, so it was a pity to leave them.
“You don’t have to pay, take them for free,” replied Xie Qing.
From the sale, he would have earned only 10 Spiritual Stones in any case, so for him, it was normal to show such generosity.
“Thank you very much!”
Lu Yin smiled brightly. In the sect, and the whole world of cultivation, there was a problem that for beginning cultivators from poor families, there were no available pills left.
Such cheap pills could become a hope for them. Lu Yin also produced batches of such pills from time to time, but she could not do it all the time, so there was a big shortage.
She thought for a bit and decided that she would ask Xie Qing to help with this issue. She, like her Master, became an alchemist to bring more benefit to the world and help cultivators who for some reason cannot move forward.
Moreover, an important task was also the preservation of the mortal population, from which good cultivators could emerge, and simply the protection of the ordinary population was also a loud question for the last decade.
***
The lesson continued as usual, and except for the fact that there were many glances at Xie Qing, everything went calmly.
Xie Qing prepared another twenty pills with a purity of 80%, which he handed over to Lu Yin, as they were not needed anyway.
In return, he received a bright smile from the girl, who thanked him from the bottom of her heart. Xie Qing, in turn, smiled generously.
“So, except for the group of twenty disciples, you can leave. Today’s lecture is over, and I hope you will continue to strive and study alchemy!” said Lu Yin.
“Thank you for the lecture!”
“Thank you!”
The disciples stood up and bowed, and then began to leave the hall one by one. When there were only twenty people left in the lecture hall, Lu Yin nodded to them.
“Now we can start training on how to evaluate your pills.”
