Chapter 364
Not just five copies.
If you count the one on him, it’s six.
“Six ingredients for the Foundation Pill.
I wonder how many Foundation Pills I can eventually refine?”
tan san muttered to himself, but he did not hesitate.
Although more than a year had passed since he last refined a Foundation Pill,
the attributes panel’s features meant that he would never regress in terms of the skill and knowledge of the formulas he mastered.
Moreover, his alchemy skills were actually much more advanced than they had been at the beginning.
Therefore, when he looked at the foundation pill formula with his current eyes, he immediately felt a sense of simplicity, even before he began to refine it.
His understanding of the foundation pill formula also rapidly improved.
Proficient, small achievement.
It didn’t stop until small achievement (355/400).
“Late small achievement.
Isn’t it possible to reach great achievement soon?”
tan san was stunned, and suddenly felt more confident.
A cleansing technique was used.
The entire alchemy furnace then became clean as new, spotless.
Then, tan san took out the many materials one by one.
The first were the foundation-building spiritual objects.
Twelve-colored flowers, mind-protecting grass, root of the earth mother, nourishing spirit flowers, earth-yin lingzhi, seven-colored immortal lotus, two-colored flowers, money spiritual flowers, and ten-thousand-year spiritual essence.
Next were some corresponding auxiliary spiritual materials.
Each spiritual material has long since been delicately processed and is a finished spiritual material that can be used directly.
Of course, out of caution and to show respect for the foundation pill, tan san still brewed a pot of Da Dao tea along with it, and his mind was clearer than ever before.
In an instant, countless previously acquired alchemy experiences flashed through his mind, and some previously existing, yet undiscovered by him, thoughts and troubles all surged forth and were quickly resolved by him.
“Let’s begin!”
tan san’s mind flickered, and a ball of spiritual fire quickly flew out under his control.
Boom!
The entire alchemy furnace suddenly roared, and the temperature soared as the spiritual fire jumped about.
Then he took out the first foundation-building spiritual object, the two-colored flower.
Sizzle…
Under the scorching of the spiritual fire, the two-colored flower withered in an instant, and countless powerful and pure spiritual essences were squeezed out.
However, even at this point, he did not dare to relax.
The spirit medicine on the two-color flower was very tyrannical, and it was impossible to preserve it for a long time.
Therefore, tan san quickly took out the white moon grass, the late red, and the three-leaf spirit flower. With the combination of these three spirit materials, he immediately refined a kind of condensed medicine, which immediately calmed down the tyrannical spirit medicine.
Next, tan san successively added the materials such as the Earth Yin Lingzhi, the Money Spirit Flower, and the Mind-protecting Herb into the alchemy furnace.
Everything seemed methodical.
Although tan san had not refined the Foundation-Building Pill for a long time, his cultivation of the alchemy Dao had reached an incredibly profound level.
At this time, refining it was truly a carefree experience.
What had seemed difficult, at least when refining the pill for the first time before, was now resolved with just a change in the refining technique.
Even the impurities that had been difficult to remove were subsequently removed, leaving only the purest medicinal power.
In this way,
time passed.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
tan san quickly used the pill-condensing technique.
Then the technique of shaking the pill, the technique of dividing the pill…
“It’s done!”
tan san’s eyes lit up.
The technique of collecting the pill was used!
Boom!
The pill furnace opened.
One by one, the pills flew out of the furnace.
Seventeen of them.
This time, seventeen pills were successfully made.
Five were of the lowest grade, seven were of the middle grade, and five were of the highest grade.
None of the seventeen were useless.
From this, one can see the high level of tan san’s alchemy skills.
Moreover, the foundation-building pills of intermediate quality and above actually make up the majority.
There are even five top-quality foundation-building pills.
“It’s just a pity that no supreme foundation-building pills were created.”
tan san’s eyes swept across the scene, and he felt a slight sense of disappointment in his heart.
He had originally still held certain expectations.
There was still a certain probability that Xiaocheng’s foundation-building pill alchemy skills could create supreme foundation-building pills.
It’s a pity.
tan san shook his head silently.
Comparing the situation now with when he had previously refined the foundation pill, the difference was truly night and day.
The first thing was the number of pills produced.
Before, there were at most 13… but of those 13, four were wasted pills.
Of the remaining nine, almost all were inferior spirit pills, and only two reached the level of medium-grade.
Now, none of the foundation pills he has refined are wasted pills.
The worst is that they are all low-grade elixirs, and there are only five of them.
The remaining twelve are all above medium grade.
“In that case, I’m worried about whether I can gather fifteen low-grade foundation building elixirs for Chen Xiaoyi and the others.”
tan san felt a little difficult for the first time when he looked at the success rate and quality of the elixirs.
This was the first batch of elixirs he had made.
His skills were relatively rusty.
But the success rate of the low-grade foundation pills was also so low.
And naturally, he could not give Chen Xiaoyi and the others any pills of intermediate grade or above.
Otherwise, not only would he expose his alchemy skills for no reason, he would also easily cause trouble.
“Fifteen low-grade foundation pills.
It shouldn’t be difficult to gather them all.”
Mumbling to himself, tan san took out a supplement pill and began to replenish his own consumption of true energy.
“Is that all?
This is a foundation-building pill!
It went so smoothly? It only took half an hour?
What level of alchemy skill has the master reached?“
”The quality of these pills is too high, isn’t it?
The aura is unrestrained, the luster is full, and some of them even have pill patterns…”
As tan san put away the foundation-laying pill, on the other side, Zou Shuixiu and Zou Yinfa, who had been watching tan san alchemy the whole time, both looked shocked.
They knew that the peak master’s alchemy was bound to succeed.
Even if foundation-laying pills were precious, almost no one outside could make them.
But they had also spent a long time in the Wufengshan spiritual land, often watching the peak master alchemy, and they had actually developed a blind confidence in him.
But at this moment, they saw him refining the legendary Foundation-Building Pills.
Not only did he succeed in refining them directly in a short period of time, but also the quality of the finished pills.
Pill patterns…
As alchemists, they of course understood what this meant. High-quality spirit pills!
Moreover, they had to be the kind with a grade of two or higher and a special effect. When they reached the high-quality level, it was possible for the pill patterns to form.
Foundation-Building Pills were indeed high-grade spirit pills with a grade of two, and naturally they could be considered one of these.
And what did they see?
Although they were far away and the peak master was able to quickly absorb the pills, they saw that more than one spiritual pill had a pill pattern on it.
At least three.
In other words, when the peak master refined the foundation building pills this time, more than three of them had reached the upper level.
Upper-level foundation building pills?
They had never seen it before, and they had never heard of anyone else having it either.
Perhaps only those large sects, with their ancient alchemists and cultivators who had refined countless foundation-laying pills, could possibly be able to refine top-grade foundation-laying pills.
But they had, at this moment, witnessed the process of this legendary elixir taking shape with their own eyes.
And it was the one refined by their own Sect Master.
The shock and sense of honour and pride made their hearts and minds tremble.
However, although they were shocked and stunned,
they did not dare to disturb.
They just stood not far away, doing what they could to process some of the spiritual materials, while quickly gathering their thoughts, beginning to recall in detail the various alchemy techniques that the master of the peak had used when refining the pill, learning the alchemy techniques involved, hoping to gain some insight from this, so that they could improve their own alchemy methods in a relatively obvious way.
It had to be said, the progress was not great!
The main reason is that the gap between their alchemy skills and those of tan san is too great.
Many alchemy techniques and methods are too complicated and too ingenious for them.
As a result, the two of them simply cannot understand them.
They can only silently memorize them and spend more time understanding and absorbing them when they go back…
This is what they did before.
I must say.
Not only has it been beneficial to their broadening their horizons, but after organizing what they have learned and discussing it with each other, they have indeed made considerable progress.
At least it is much better than the two of them exploring on their own, or even with the guidance of a famous teacher.
After half an hour.
tan san felt that the true energy in his body had completely recovered, so he began the second refining.
This time.
tan san did not just take one elixir to refine.
In order to save time.
He simply took out all the remaining five elixir ingredients.
“Master, are you planning to refine these ingredients together?”
After noticing tan san’s actions, Zou Yinhua was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward carefully, asking.
Putting five ingredients into it at once for refining… This method had never occurred to them before, and they had only seen it done by the Master of the Peak.
But what the Master of the Peak had refined before were all ordinary elixirs, and even if there were some relatively precious ingredients, they were not considered precious.
At least, that was the case for them, the Master of the Peak.
But this time, the peak master was refining a foundation-building pill.
For them, who had not yet built a foundation and knew very well what a foundation-building pill meant to countless practitioners at the Qi-cultivating stage, they naturally understood the madness of the peak master’s actions.
They were also really a little worried.
Therefore, Zou Shuixiu had the courage to go up and ask.
Seeing tan san nod, she panicked and asked hesitantly, “In that case, won’t it be a bit of a waste?”
“No matter.
If it’s wasted, then it’s wasted.”
tan san waved his hand and didn’t care.
He didn’t have high expectations for the foundation-building pill.
If he used his current alchemy skills to refine the remaining five foundation-building pill ingredients one by one, there was a possibility that he would not be able to deliver any to Chen Xiaoyi.
After all, his alchemy skills for the foundation-building pill formula had reached a pinnacle.
He had countless thoughts and methods for improvement when it came to refining the foundation-building pill.
Therefore, if he really refined them one by one, the inferior foundation-laying pills that might be successfully refined would become fewer and fewer.
By then, if he really couldn’t come up with fifteen inferior foundation-laying pills, then he would have to trade mid-grade foundation-laying pills.
And that was definitely not what he wanted to see.
It wasn’t that he was reluctant to do so, but he just didn’t want to give away such high-level elixirs.
Wouldn’t it be nice to keep them for his own people to take?
Not to mention that the Foundation Pills are actually second-class high-level elixirs with abundant spiritual energy. Even if they are not used to help cultivate the foundation of a Qi Refining Stage 9 cultivator, they can still be used by the cultivator himself to improve his cultivation.
It’s just that the ingredients are hard to find, so they are relatively luxurious.
Then, tan san began to refine the pills again.
This time, although he simultaneously put five portions of the spiritual ingredients into the furnace for refining,
the entire refining process was much faster than before.
One after the other, the spirit materials were thrown into it, and then under the burning of his Southern Ming Li Fire, they quickly turned into spirit medicine liquid, which he processed using various alchemy techniques and alchemy formulas.
One stick of incense, two sticks of incense, three sticks of incense…
Then, just as the fourth stick of incense began to burn,
tan san let out a low cry, “Coagulate!”
In an instant, the various medicinal liquids in the alchemy furnace quickly and gently melded together under the influence of a special force.
The entire medicinal liquid also became boiling at this moment, as if it were trying to break free from his control.
However, tan san’s true yuan power was now very strong, and his spiritual awareness was also very solid.
Naturally, this medicinal power could not break free from his control.
Then, in the blink of an eye, countless medicinal liquids formed a spiritual pill the size of a sea bowl.
This was almost a huge foundation-building pill.
It was completely formed.
Moreover, when tan san looked at it, he discovered that this spiritual pill was already at the intermediate level.
However, his refining was naturally not yet complete.
So, he began to use the pill-flinging technique.
Under the effect of a special pill-crafting technique, a trace, a strand of impurities, black matter, was all flung out.
Although it did not raise the quality of this huge elixir from the intermediate level to the high-level, it became much purer.
The quality also improved to a certain extent.
Then, he used the technique of dividing the pill.
One divided into two, two divided into four, four divided into eight…
It continued to divide.
This also caused a huge consumption of his true energy.
Until finally, it was divided into a total of 80 pieces.
It then stopped.
“It’s done!
Eighty pills were successfully made at once.
This is still because I directly put in all five portions of the ingredients for the foundation pill, resulting in a huge waste.
If not, one after another, refining.
The final number of pills I can make will be at least 90.
But even so, it is very good.
And the quality of the pills…”
tan san muttered, looking at the pills in the furnace, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Five supreme pills!
Inside, he saw a total of five supreme foundation building pills!
Pure and flawless.
And they were covered with dense pill patterns.
These pill patterns were like some kind of rule-based power in the way of heaven and earth fitting on them, very complex, but also possessing a special beauty.
