Chapter 366

And the diaphragmatic technique really did help.

At least after he used the diaphragmatic technique, the medicinal power of the spiritual materials and medicines was relatively pure.

Then, he followed the steps on the prescription and began to fuse the medicinal power one by one, or process various medicinal materials.

Of course, this was not easy either.

Even if you have a prescription, the problems encountered by a cultivator when actually refining the pill are incredibly complex and changeable.

It is simply impossible to rely solely on the prescription to actually refine the pill.

A competent alchemist is one who can skillfully handle the conflicts and changes in the power of the various spiritual medicines, and keep them in a relatively stable state, so that they can finally be refined into pills.

But even the most skilled alchemist will make mistakes when refining difficult elixirs.

Just like tan san at this time.

Although he had thoroughly understood the many steps involved in refining the Divine Dragon Pill long ago,

He even carefully reviewed the many problems that could be encountered when handling the spiritual ingredients and medicines, and made advance preparations to ensure that once a problem arose, it could be detected and dealt with in time.

But in the actual process of refining,

various problems arose one after the other.

Although the diaphragm technique was effective, when the two spiritual ingredients were combined, the explosion of power and the special medicinal impurities produced during the explosion could often cause great damage and pollution to the true spiritual medicine power.

This is unavoidable.

He could only use every possible alchemy technique to suppress this explosive power to the lowest possible level.

In this way,

tan san continuously put a portion of the spiritual materials into the alchemy furnace.

He also used the diaphragm technique to separate the power of each type of spiritual medicine and the power of various mixed medicines one by one, before fusing them together.

Finally,

he put the portion of ‘dragon blood’ into it.

Boom!

The tyrannical dragon blood exploded with a terrifying medicinal power the moment it was thrown into the alchemy furnace.

Seeing this, tan san’s expression did not change. With a wave of his hand, he used the alchemy technique to directly take out one of the ingredients and quickly threw it into the dragon blood.

Zizizi!

In an instant, the surging aura above the dragon blood slightly subsided.

But soon, a special majestic aura rose again.

“Dragon Elixir.

It is a spiritual pill condensed by the cultivator with the help of various spiritual medicines and herbs, suppressing, fusing, and extracting a special spiritual substance in the dragon blood that helps the cultivator improve.

But the dragon blood is violent, and in order to do this, various tyrannical and harmful substances must be neutralized or eliminated.

The medicinal power of various spiritual materials is, in the final analysis, for this purpose.”

tan san thought quietly, and quickly immersed himself in the medicinal power of another spiritual material.

Then came the third, the fourth…

Dragon blood is the foundation of the Divine Dragon Pill.

The medicinal power of all kinds of spiritual materials is a specially prepared product that can refine dragon blood.

tan san had actually understood this from the beginning of refining the pill.

Therefore, when all kinds of spiritual medicines in the refining furnace fused together, causing all kinds of strange phenomena, his face did not show the slightest change.

“Next, comes the most crucial point.

Extract the dragon soul!”

Even the blood of a dragon’s offspring contains the power of its own soul.

It is a power engraved in the bloodline of the dragon’s offspring.

This power is too mysterious.

Ordinary cultivators simply cannot capture it, let alone absorb it.

The most important thing about the Divine Dragon Pills he is refining is this power of the dragon’s soul.

Because this is the key to the Shenlong Dan itself, which can awaken the Shenlong’s innate magical powers.

With a bit of luck, this Shenlong power happens to contain a record of the Shenlong’s magical powers, then the corresponding Shenlong magical power can be awakened.

If you’re unlucky, naturally there won’t be anything.

And this is actually a highly probable thing.

After all, although the Shenlong Dan is miraculous, the Shenlong magical powers are also extraordinary.

It is naturally not so easy to awaken them.

He reckons that it would take at least 1,800 Divine Dragon Pills to awaken the Divine Dragon’s supernatural powers.

And he only has three Divine Dragon Pill ingredients, so even if everything goes well, he can at most make about 30 Divine Dragon Pills.

Of course, the probability of awakening the Divine Dragon Pill with this is extremely low.

Back to the topic.

Extracting the dragon soul is a very crucial step in refining the Divine Dragon Pill.

Because there is a huge difference between dragon blood with and without a ‘dragon soul’.

With the ‘dragon soul’, the vitality of the dragon’s essence is greatly enhanced, and it is difficult for ordinary elixir materials to subdue and refine it, thereby achieving the effect of refining the pill.

Only by extracting the ‘dragon soul’ can the spirituality in the dragon’s blood be greatly reduced, and it is then possible to use various auxiliary spiritual materials to subdue, neutralize, and achieve the desired goal of the raging and destructive power within.

And this, again, requires the use of the soul-extracting technique in the Dragon Elixir Refining Art.

Fortunately, tan san had long ago mastered a variety of secret alchemy techniques in the Divine Dragon Alchemy before he planned to refine this Divine Dragon Pill.

He was now able to use them with ease.

His hands moved in unison, and a complex array of spells was cast in his hands. Then, as he reached forward a little, a special spiritual energy fluctuation was transmitted.

It landed directly in the alchemy furnace, on top of the dragon blood.

In an instant, tan san felt a special force within the dragon’s blood resisting the capture of this force.

tan san quickly used his true essence to increase the strength.

Then bit by bit, he stripped away this force.

Only after he felt his heart and mind relax and the power within the dragon’s blood greatly reduced did he begin the next step of refining the pill.

One after another, the various elixirs and essences once again merged with it.

Everything seemed methodical.

One stick of incense, two sticks of incense, three sticks of incense…

The difficulty of refining a third-grade elixir was much greater than that of a second-grade elixir.

The changes in spiritual energy and the blending and matching of the elixirs were much more complicated than before.

Even tan san found it very slow to refine.

“It’s starting.

Inject the dragon soul!”

After the many spiritual materials had all fused together, tan san’s eyes lit up, and finally the most crucial step in refining the pill began.

That was to inject the power of the dragon soul that had just been extracted back in.

And this was the key to the Shenlong Pill having the power of the dragon.

Injecting the power of the dragon soul is what makes the Shenlong Pill.

Otherwise, at most it would just be an ordinary third-grade spiritual pill that replenishes blood and enhances physical strength.

Moreover, it may not even take shape.

This step is also the most difficult step in the entire Shenlong Pill.

tan san controlled the power of the dragon soul that had just been extracted and gradually approached the pill.

He used the pill formula even faster in his hands.

Almost as if it were swimming in water, the power of the dragon soul blended into the pill in the blink of an eye.

It seemed to have been completely integrated.

tan san was a little surprised. Just as he felt a little relieved, he suddenly felt a huge force erupting within the pill.

Bang!

The entire elixir exploded.

A strong black smoke rose up.

It had failed!

tan san’s face could not help but show a hint of helplessness.

“I was careless!”

He never expected the power of the dragon soul to enter the elixir so quickly. So he froze for a moment.

In that instant, the power of the dragon soul merged with some power in the elixir, and then a special repulsive force was generated.

So much so that the entire pill directly collapsed.

“At this time, if I had used the pill-making technique in time to control the speed of the fusion between the two, even if it would still have failed, it would never have exploded…”

tan san pondered, his gaze falling on the inside of the pill furnace, in particular the positions of several specks.

Those were the substances that had fused relatively completely after the power of the dragon soul had combined with the pill.

An expression of thoughtfulness could not help but appear on his face.

From this, he also discovered that in fact, the power of the dragon soul can be combined with the pill if they are mixed together.

However, if the power of the dragon soul is mixed too quickly, it will have a huge repulsive effect, causing an explosion… It’s like two substances. If there is too much of one, it will explode. If there is less of one, and the critical point is not reached, then they can merge with each other to form a new, but powerful substance.

And this substance is the ingredient of the Divine Dragon Pill.

“However, just discovering this is not enough.

I made several mistakes during this alchemy process. If I can’t correct them, it’s very likely that the next alchemy attempt will also end in failure.

In addition, I need to be extremely vigilant during the final alchemy process.

I need to guard against as many problems as possible during the refining process…”

tan san went over and over again, analyzing.

From time to time, he drank Da Dao tea, constantly thinking about possible mistakes and omissions, and improving on them one by one.

The Divine Dragon Pill is, after all, extraordinary.

It is a genuine third-grade elixir.

No amount of caution is excessive.

Not to mention, once it is successfully refined, it will mean that tan san is now a full-fledged third-grade alchemist.

His status in the Immortal Cultivation world will be extremely high, and he will be the object of competition for countless beings above the Dan-sealing realm, as well as the guest of honour of the Dan-sealing immortals.

His status will be equivalent to theirs.

Even higher!

Of course, the most important thing is that he now has, and only has, three copies of the spiritual material in his hands.

He has already failed once.

In other words, he only has two chances left.

If he succeeds, naturally everything will be fine.

But if he fails again, he will have to be more careful when continuing to refine the pill.

So, an hour later.

tan san finally began to continue refining the pill.

Because he had tried it once before, tan san was much more relaxed when refining it.

Everything was methodical.

Until, he took out the dragon’s blood.

At this point, he became much more serious.

He had thought through every step countless times in his mind before beginning to refine it.

But when it came to actually refining it, he was very decisive.

Step by step, he was very calm.

He used the soul-extracting technique.

He stripped away the power of the soul.

He was also very steady in this step.

Then, he continued to process the dragon’s blood, combining various materials to fuse it into a pill.

Then, it was the most crucial step of the previous failure, when the power of the dragon soul was once again infused into the elixir.

tan san took a deep breath and did not waste any time.

While controlling the approach of the power of the dragon, he quickly used the elixir formula.

Then, he felt the power of the dragon move, as if it was not under his control at all, and it rushed directly towards the elixir at great speed.

Seeing this, tan san’s heart sank, and he directly accelerated the application of the Dan techniques in his hands.

But at this time, the power of the dragon soul had already come into contact with the elixir pill.

So he instinctively used the little forbidden spiritual technique.

This little spiritual technique seemed to really work at this time, directly sealing the entire power of the dragon soul.

Only a small portion was integrated into the elixir pill.

Then, under the effect of his Dan techniques, it quickly fused with it.

“It worked!

But it’s not over yet.

We must fuse as much of the dragon soul power as possible in order to improve the quantity and quality of the pill.”

tan san muttered to himself, and casually dispelled his minor spirit-binding technique.

The moment the spirit power surged into the pill again, his minor spirit-binding technique was cast once more.

And so it went.

After five times,

the dragon soul power had been completely fused into the pill.

tan san naturally kept an eye on the situation in the pill furnace.

From time to time, he would use the Southern Ming Li Fire to burn the entire pill.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…

As his spiritual fire burned, strands of black substance, the impurities of the pill, were also expelled.

Then, he used the pill-condensing technique, the pill-flinging technique, and then the pill-dividing technique…

At this point, tan san finally relaxed.

Especially when the technique of condensing the pill was used.

Basically, it meant that the entire elixir had actually been successfully refined.

As for the quality of the completed pill, after tan san used the technique of tossing the pill, the verdict was also reached.

It was inferior!

tan san’s eyes did not change.

He directly used the technique of dividing the pill.

One divided into two, two divided into four, four divided into eight…

But after the fourth division of the pill, the entire Shenlong Pill had also completely taken shape.

“Twelve pills have been successfully refined,”

tan san’s eyes did not reveal the slightest hint of surprise.

He had long known that when refining the Divine Dragon Pills for the first time, even if he was successful, the quantity and quality would not be high.

This was obviously the case at this time.

Then, tan san once again used the Pills-Flipping Technique.

Previously, he had flipped the spiritual impurities from the entire pill, but now, with his Pills-Flipping Technique, he flipped the spiritual impurities from a single pill, which was of course also extraordinary.

Only then did tan san use the technique to collect the pills.

One by one, the special, orange-colored elixirs rushed out and landed in his hands.

“It really worked.

The Divine Dragon Pills are ready!

A total of twelve elixirs were refined.

However, seven of them were wasted.

In other words, only five of them were actually successful.

And these five Divine Dragon Pills are all of the lower grade.

They are not considered good, but they are not bad either.

After all, this was the first time I had successfully refined a Divine Dragon Pill.”

tan san was excited, and using the alchemy techniques, he also placed all the Divine Dragon Pills into a jade box.
