Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 565: Chapter 239: I’ll Handle Them for You, All It Takes is a Tiny Spirit Stone!_1

At the entrance of the Pill Room.

A delicate figure is squatting on the ground, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the ground.

The shadow of Yin energy is intermittently visible, sometimes forming sharp claws, leaving sharp scratches on the ground.

Her gaze never leaves the busy figure within the Pill Room.

The Earth Fire blazes fiercely.

Spirit Power surges rapidly.

Occasionally, a stream of Foundation Establishment True Flame is injected into it, making the fire blaze even more.

One by one, the medicinal ingredients enter the enormous Pill Tripod in a fixed order.

Not all ingredients are entered into the tripod directly.

Some must be specially processed by techniques before they can be put in.

From time to time, Bai Meiling can hear the mutterings of that figure.

“The Hundred Flowers Dew at the bottom will envelope all the medicinal liquid. This is the fundamental step, but also the key to forming the pill membrane in the end.”

“The processing can’t be as perfunctory as during the third time, it still needs to use both Washing Brook Hand and Cloud Transformation Hand.”

“Codonopsis, Angelica, Polygonum Multiflorum, Motherwort, Skyblue Aloe… These auxiliary materials are not merely crudely treated by fire techniques. The Pill Formula doesn’t mention, but if they are treated with a Water Method Pill Refinement technique in the early stage…”

As he mutters to himself, Luo Chen’s gaze is blatant, fixed on the Pill Tripod.

The Spirit Consciousness he projects outside is constantly monitoring the changes in the internal medicinal ingredients, making sure to record every change in his heart.

The pill formation rate provided by the System seems to be fixed.

But Luo Chen has long discovered that each time must be carefully treated, otherwise even the guaranteed pill formation rate can fail!

It’s the same with brushing up proficiency.

Take the current example of the “Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra”.

If he only operates it simply, it would take at least forty to fifty times to improve a bit of proficiency.

But if he goes all out, he can increase the efficiency to the point where he can improve a bit of proficiency every twenty times.

Currently refining the Jade Dew Pill.

Luo Chen is doing just that.

Even more so, it’s different from refining pills during the Qi Refinement Stage.

With the aid of the projected Spirit Consciousness, he can better observe the refined medicinal ingredients and the various meticulous changes during the pill-making process.

In this way, the feedback he gets from each refinement greatly exceeds the past.

Even the proficiency, albeit there’s no successful pill formation, there’s still a slight improvement.

The Jade Dew Pill nowadays is indeed worthy of being a Second Order Pill.

The complexity of the refining methods far surpasses that of the Jade Marrow Pill, Allure Pill and other First Order Pills.

Many places even require a combination of water and fire techniques for pill refinement.

But doing so also has significant benefits.

That is, the proficiency of the “Pill Techniques” is visibly increasing at a mad pace.

If it continues at this rate.

It is believed that it won’t take long for these pill techniques to be completely mastered.

“It’s time for the Lingting Fragrant Grass!”

Luo Chen had a thought and his eyes were drawn to the shelves at the bottom, where in the pots there were green grasses, full of vitality.

As one of the three main ingredients in Jade Dew Pill.

The Lingting Fragrant Grass, being a Second Order Spirit Grass, costs twenty Spirit Stones per plant.

What’s important is that this herb cannot be processed in advance.

It has to be picked fresh and then directly used for medicine.

For such cases, one has to use a Pill Technique – Simplicity Hand!

Moreover, only an extremely accomplished Simplicity Hand could solve the need for on-site processing of the Spirit Grass.

Luo Chen was unhurried.

His Simplicity Hand has already attained Grandmaster Level, handling Lingting Fragrant Grass is not difficult for him.

The fragrant grass was picked, strands of Spirit Power interwoven into a thin net, sealing off the cut surface.

The Lingting Fragrant Grass was moved on top of the Pill Tripod.

The net suddenly elongated upwards, cutting it into a “well” shape, while only the central grass heart dropped into the tripod.

What is needed, is this section of grass heart!

Regular picking methods would pollute the Lingting Fragrant Grass in one way or another, causing the medicinal power of the grass heart to be mixed.

Only the Spirit Power net formed by the Simplicity Hand can handle it cleanly without contamination, leaving only a pure heart!

Removing his Spirit Power.

Luo Chen took a deep breath.

Next, it was to extract the “Jade Mist” from the Blue Smoke Jade and fuse it with the elixir.

In the end, seal it with the Hundred Flowers Dew to form the Pill Membrane.

The elixir, after being kept in the cold for a day and night, would then be successfully made.

The previous steps have almost been completed.

From here, he cannot allow previous efforts to go to waste.

The processing of Blue Smoke Jade requires the Pill Technique Breaking Jade Hand.

In this regard, Luo Chen excels!

During the initial refining of the Jade Marrow Pill, he was dealing with the main ingredient Wan Jade every day, and he had already brushed up his Breaking Jade Hand to the Finalization Level.

Today, dealing with Blue Smoke Jade is just a small try out!

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Luo Chen chose to first make the Jade Dew Pill instead of the Blood Evil Qi Pill.

He has a very solid foundation in this aspect!

Each step was carried out consecutively.

If an outsider were present, seeing the numerous complicated pill techniques Luo Chen executed during this one-day refining process, they would probably be left perplexed and stunned.

To refine a pill, is all this necessary?

A real high-rank Pill Refiner wouldn’t deign to answer him!

Why is a Pill Refiner one of the top practitioners in A Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation?

Profit is one aspect, relevance to cultivation is another aspect, entrance threshold and difficulty in advancing is another.

Other cultivation arts, with a little talent, might go deep.

But Pill Refinement Technique isn’t like that.

Talent, effort, resources, perseverance, comprehension… all are indispensable.

In Pill Refinement, there are never any shortcuts.

What’s required, is to have each and every pill formed by one’s own hands, and ultimately, casually say – “There’s nothing other than familiarity!”

Luo Chen has all of the above conditions, except talent!
