The medicinal materials were quickly transported over, and it took just over two hours by car from Ninghai to Jiangzhou, speeding along the highway was quite fast.

With the support of Wu Ling, Qin Fang borrowed an empty hospital ward and began alchemy.

All the ingredients needed for the Blood Replenishing Pill had been collected. Although some materials were quite precious and rare, Qin Fang's heavy expenditure on purchasing, coupled with a long preparation period, enabled him to gather all of them.

Qin Fang had acquired the recipe for the Blood Replenishing Pill long ago, and he asked Chu Yunxuan to attempt its formulation, while also figuring out some alternative substances.

However, the results were frustrating. Chu Yunxuan couldn't formulate the Blood Replenishing Pill according to the recipe's proportions, making the search for alternative substances a mere empty talk.

Yet, Qin Fang wasn't anxious. Although it's frustrating not being able to formulate the pill with the recipe, he was simultaneously very pleased.

At least this Heart Nourishing Pill wouldn't be cracked by others, and the confidentiality could be maintained.

Qin Fang had already considered this Heart Nourishing Pill. The authentic version was a life-saving elixir for him, but the simplified version developed with substitute substances could be marketed as a commercial product.

Just like the Heart Nourishing Pill, it's the essence of many years of Dragon Country's pharmacology. If truly made into a commercial product, its effects would be much more reliable than those of Western medicines.

The Heart Nourishing Pill is used for treating cardiovascular diseases, while the Blood Replenishing Pill has a good effect on some blood-related diseases…

Precisely which diseases it can treat isn't very clear to Qin Fang yet. It requires the Blood Replenishing Pill to be made and specific clinical treatments to gradually confirm.

But one thing is certain: the Heart Nourishing Pill is extremely effective against symptoms like anemia. After all, "Blood Replenishing" is not just for show.

Once all the medicinal materials were ready, Qin Fang began alchemy.

The first step, naturally, was extracting the essence of the medicines. This wasn't a problem for Qin Fang as he only needed to mechanically use the Herbalism Skill, and the essence automatically began to extract under his hands.

It's an extremely tedious process, but Qin Fang didn't mind much. A bit more time spent would solve it.

Since saving lives was urgent, Qin Fang didn't extract all the materials at once as that would take an incredibly long time, credit to the ample preparations by Chu Yunxuan.

Qin Fang selected a portion of the materials first, planning to produce some Blood Replenishing Pills. Wu Jian's condition was already quite dire, and saving his life was of top priority.

If something happened to Wu Jian, Wu Ling might freak out and take out all those critters, which would truly sadden Qin Fang.

Of course, he didn't care about the critters' lives. Even if Wu Ling didn't act, Qin Fang would eventually send those critters on their way.

But the issue is, before sending those critters away, he needed information on Bloodthirsty Grass... ideally, finding the origin of Bloodthirsty Grass would be the best outcome!

There was nothing problematic with the extraction of the medicinal essence, just somewhat boring. Fortunately, it wasn't Qin Fang's first time doing this, so he was somewhat used to it.

About an hour later, the materials for the first batch of Blood Replenishing Pills, approximately 200 portions, were ready.

"Sigh... I hope the success rate isn't too low! If it's like the Heart Nourishing Pill, I'll really want to cry..."

All the medicinal materials were prepared and ready for use; Qin Fang took a slight breath, and silently prayed for himself.

He only hoped the success rate for the Blood Replenishing Pill would be higher, ideally over a 50% success rate. In this way, after refining the two hundred portions, he could produce more than a hundred Blood Replenishing Pills, which would delight Qin Fang greatly.

Calculating with each Blood Replenishing Pill replenishing 20 Life Points, a hundred pills would be 2,000 Life Points, sufficient to save Qin Fang from depleting blood lines 30-40 times.

The cost of Blood Replenishing Pills' materials was far higher than making baozi, by hundreds or even thousands of times. The cost-performance could be said to be much lower, but it's absolutely worthwhile to do so.

In the future, Qin Fang would face more and more experts, with increasing blood loss, and also the occasional need to use the Blood Explosion Technique. The Blood Replenishing Pill would become a regular potion, unlike baozi which could no longer suffice.

Furthermore, baozi truly occupy too much space in the Props Box, and Qin Fang wanted to free up slots to store other items.

One Blood Replenishing Pill is equivalent to the blood-replenishing capacity of seven baozi, greatly reducing the usage of space in the Props Box, allowing Qin Fang to carry more items without having to rummage through the Props Box every time he needed something...

"In production... Production failed, Alchemy Proficiency +1."

"In production... Production successful, Alchemy Proficiency +3."

"In production... Production failed, Alchemy Proficiency +1."

"In production... Production successful, Alchemy Proficiency +3."

"..."

It was unclear if Qin Fang's earlier prayers had worked, or if the crafting success rate of the Blood Replenishing Pill was genuinely high, but from the start of crafting, the success rate maintained around fifty percent.

It might have been slightly lower, but not by much...

Mechanically crafting all two hundred doses of ingredients, Qin Fang already had over ninety Blood Replenishing Pills in his Props Box.

The Blood Replenishing Pills presented a faint red color, appearing nothing special at first glance. However, when brought to the nose for a gentle sniff, a medicinal fragrance was distinctly noticeable.

The only slightly discomforting aspect was that within this medicinal fragrance, a faint hint of bloodiness could be detected.

Qin Fang was also puzzled as to why this was the case.

The ingredients used in crafting were all plants or minerals, without adding any blood-like materials, yet such a bloody scent appeared, which was rather mysterious.

"Perhaps this is the reason why it can replenish blood..."

With the Scouting Skill identifying the quality of the medicine, the bloody scent was present in every Blood Replenishing Pill. Qin Fang also found that the stronger the bloody scent, the better the quality.

For instance, pills with a milder bloody scent had the lowest quality of 40.

Whereas those with a stronger bloody scent had a quality as high as 96...

Though the amount of blood replenishment was the same, the effect of the pill varied with quality. Qin Fang personally tasted two pills and discovered that the higher the quality of the Blood Replenishing Pill, the more apparent the healing efficacy, significantly boosting one's energy...

Although Qin Fang didn't conduct a detailed experiment by unleashing his strength, just the body's sensation was already very clear, and he was quite sensitive to such feelings.

"The Alchemy Technique is nearing Intermediate level..."

Seeing the Alchemy Technique Skill's proficiency nearing Intermediate level was due to the high crafting success rate of the Blood Replenishing Pill, earning higher proficiency and naturally increasing faster.

With a success rate approaching fifty percent, it was much higher than the less than thirty percent from crafting the Heart Nourishing Pill. After all, the Heart Nourishing Pill had a higher grade, making its success rate lower, which was understandable.

At the same time, although the materials for the Blood Replenishing Pill were rare, they were more common than those for the Heart Nourishing Pill, so even if the crafting failed, Qin Fang wasn't as heartbroken as he had been when crafting the Heart Nourishing Pill.

Without lingering further, knowing that the Wu Family members outside were still waiting for life-saving assistance, Qin Fang immediately took the Blood Replenishing Pills and went out...

"How did it go? Successful?"

As Qin Fang emerged, Chu Yunxuan, who had been waiting outside, immediately approached with a tense inquiry. After all, Qin Fang was the only one who could save Wu Jian now.

"Of course, have you ever seen anyone but me handling this?"

Qin Fang chuckled, taking out two red pills and handing them to Chu Yunxuan.

"Give these to Wu Jian; soak them in warm water and have him drink it. It should take effect in about five minutes… One should suffice, hold on to the other for backup, but don't give it to him yet."

Alongside, Qin Fang gave a brief explanation. At the moment, Wu Jian's condition was severe, and although the Blood Replenishing Pill dissolves instantly in the mouth, Wu Jian likely had little saliva, thus needing water to assist in consuming the pill.

"What about you?"

Chu Yunxuan nodded, aware of this. But noticing Qin Fang didn't seem to intend to accompany her, she couldn't help but question.

"I still need to brew some medicine... Go save Wu Jian. If any issues arise, you can come back and find me anytime..."

Qin Fang smiled and replied.

Since there was nothing pressing for him at the moment, he didn't want to waste this time. The herbal materials had already arrived, making it the perfect opportunity to craft all the Blood Replenishing Pills for backup.

Chu Yunxuan didn't say much more, immediately taking the Blood Replenishing Pills to save Wu Jian while Qin Fang returned to the "pill room" to continue alchemy.

Chu Yunxuan had prepared a substantial amount of medicinal materials, roughly eight to nine hundred doses, but Qin Fang had only taken about one-fourth of those materials for crafting earlier.

Even with just these one-fourth materials, it had taken Qin Fang over an hour to craft them all into finished Blood Replenishing Pills.

Now, with the remaining more than three fourths of materials to craft, Qin Fang was unwilling to delay any more time and immediately went back to the crafting process...

Even so, Qin Fang estimated it would take at least four to five hours to turn all the materials into Blood Replenishing Pills...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes; your support is my greatest motivation.)
