C29 Refining Origin Energy Pills
In the Jialan City, south of the city, on a quiet street, in a clean and tidy inn, a young man in black clothes was sitting cross-legged on a bed with his eyes closed. He looked like a meditating old monk.
A black unicorn horse with black fur was lying lazily on the floor. Its small eyes were staring at the door without moving. It was like a loyal guard, guarding the youth who was sitting with his legs crossed.
The evening sun passed through the wooden windowsill and sprinkled into the room, and it was projected onto the bed, causing specks of light to shoot out from the young man's body and the bed.
Under the reflection of the setting sun, the young man's immature face had a solemn expression and was immersed in it. It was as if he was seriously doing something important.
In the middle of a gray Pill Cauldron Ring, there was a gray fog drifting in the void. However, there was an exception. A few meters away from the ancient stone tablet in the middle, there was a huge flaming mountain that covered thousands of kilometers. This was the place where the Ring Spirit could heal and absorb energy.
Not far away from this huge flaming mountain, there was a fiery red rock mountain. There were fiery red rocks everywhere, sprinkling the entire mountain range. At the bottom of the rock mountain, there was a deep and clear cave that led to an unknown place.
At this moment, Xiao Jian was floating in his soul form. In a flash, he had entered the fiery red tunnel. As he went deeper and deeper, the temperature became higher and higher. Fortunately, just as Xiao Jian was about to collapse, an empty hall appeared in front of him.
In the hall, fiery red and hot magma flowed. After passing through the fiery red and hot magma river, there was a stone room made of limestone.
There were four of them. There were four big and vigorous words written on them: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Through the memories of the newly fused Pill Cauldron Ring, these four stone chambers, from low to high, were divided according to the temperature and stability of the flames within.
Xiao Jian lightly came to the front of the yellow stone room. The stone room moved without any wind and slowly slid to one side, creating a tight passage for one person to pass through.
Xiao Jian flashed and floated in. The stone door closed automatically. Xiao Jian couldn't help but be amazed. He was deeply impressed by the powerful means of the first Pill Cauldron Ring master.
The stone room was seven to eight zhang wide and five to six zhang tall. As soon as he entered the stone room, a cool breeze hit his face, making his soul feel comfortable. The hot feeling from before was gone.
He saw that there were pieces of white ice stones stuck to the wall. The cold air kept coming out and neutralized the heat from the outside. It was not cold at all, only a slight cool feeling.
In the middle of the stone room, there was a black three-legged square cauldron. The body of the cauldron was emitting a dark light. It seemed that it was made of a special material, and there were no flames around it.
On the other hand, at the bottom of the cauldron stove, there was a red spot on an unknown rock. Xiao Jian thought that the underground fire should have been isolated by the rock. At the bottom of the rock, there were ancient patterns carved on the surface of the cauldron, and there was even a bed on the ground.
Xiao Jian took out all the herbs from the Pill Cauldron Ring. He adjusted his state of mind to its best state. The herbs were born from absorbing the natural Yuan energy, so they contained a huge amount of Yuan energy.
When a martial artist consumed a Pill refined from a spirit herb to cultivate, it was equivalent to directly refining the Yuan energy. It greatly reduced the time for a martial artist to cultivate.
Hence, there were no martial artists who did not consume Pills. The more martial artists cultivated to a bottleneck, the more they needed to rely on Pills to break through the bottleneck.
However, there were pros and cons to using Pills. If one used Pills frequently to increase one's cultivation, the Origin Energy within one's body would be abnormally mixed. It was not conducive to breaking through to the next realm, especially the later stages. Sometimes, breaking through bottlenecks did not just require Pills, but also required a certain amount of comprehension.
Medicinal herbs were known as spirit medicines after reaching fifty years of age.
Spirit medicines were generally not able to be taken raw, especially spirit medicines that were too old. It was even more difficult to swallow because the essence energy within the spiritual herb was extremely violent, unlike the Pill that had been refined, the medicinal properties were mild. If a martial artist consumed it, the light ones would have their meridians broken and become crippled; the heavy ones would be directly stuffed by the violent essence energy until their body exploded and they died.
The essence energy within the spirit medicine was also not pure. That was why it had to be refined by alchemists using the fire of heaven and earth or the fire attribute martial artists' cultivation methods. Only by removing the impurities could it be perfectly absorbed.
The amount of elemental energy contained within the spirit medicine's body also resulted in its preciousness. The older the spirit medicine, the rarer it existed in the world. Often, it was only found in the forests and mountains that were deep in the mountains and forests that were rarely seen in the human world. Hence, its value was also higher.
Xiao Jian sat cross-legged on the shop next to the Pill Furnace. He saw Xiao Jian's illusory palm, "Teng!" In an instant, a fiery red flame emerged. The flame distorted in the void and turned into a fiery red palm the size of a wheel. The palm flashed in the air and appeared at the bottom of the cauldron stove.
The huge palm clenched its five fingers and easily pushed the rock at the bottom of the Pill Furnace away, revealing the bottomless red hole underneath. A wisp of pure flame rose up, pressing against the bottom of the cauldron stove.
The fiery red palm was the effect of Xiao Jian's Fire Controlling Art during this period of time. The Fire Controlling Art had finally reached the small success stage, reaching the stage of transforming into human form.
Xiao Jian carefully used the Fire Controlling Art to control the underground fire.
"Teng!" In an instant, it turned into a fire curtain and swallowed the cauldron stove. Xiao Jian used his mind to control the underground fire to burn the furnace evenly.
After the cauldron stove was calcined by the pure flame, a faint white smoke finally floated up. Xiao Jian separated a wisp of his mind and transformed it into a fiery red giant palm. The giant palm grasped the heavy lid with its five fingers and placed it aside.
Controlling the earth fire to calcine steadily, the giant hand threw the scorpion tail tiger's devil core into it.0
The devil core was immediately engulfed by the flame and swallowed. Xiao Jian was somewhat excited. After all, this was his first time concocting a pill, and he was still using the earth fire to concoct a pill. Fortunately, the earth fire in the Pill Cauldron Ring was purer, unlike the earth fire in the volcanic crater in the outside world.
Because he had the experience of concocting Origin Spirit Liquid in the past, Xiao Jian immediately calmed his restless mind. He saw the devil core enter the furnace. The earth fire flames on the ground immediately rose into the air, wrapping around the entire cauldron stove. The scorching flames sizzled, and the temperature within the cauldron stove rose sharply.
These few movements were done in one go, and they were quick and continuous. If there was an experienced alchemist here, he would definitely be dumbstruck, and he would definitely be a genius.
Xiao Jian first threw the scorpion tail tiger's devil core into the Pill Furnace. Because the devil core was harder to refine than spirit liquid, one had to first throw it into the Pill Furnace to refine. Once the Scorpion Tail Tiger entered the Pill Furnace, the turbulent earth fire roared, "Teng!" With a loud sound, it charged forward, wrapping the entire devil core within the surging flames.
Xiao Jian controlled the flame to calcine evenly, and his mind controlled it. The devil core violently stirred, causing the heat to be evenly distributed. Roughly four hours later, the devil core slowly changed. It began to slowly soften, melt, and turn into a fiery red liquid. Xiao Jian also threw the remaining spirit medicines into the Pill Furnace.
The earth fire burned fiercely. Xiao Jian threw his mind into the Pill Furnace. His heart turned into an invisible palm and stirred quickly, causing the herbs to be evenly heated.
After half an hour, a faint herbal fragrance drifted into the air. Xiao Jian felt refreshed when he smelled it. During this period of high-intensity operation, even if Xiao Jian's soul power was not weak, and he was stronger than warriors of the same level, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand it.
After continuously stirring and rolling for more than an hour, the fragrance became stronger and stronger. The entire spirit medicine also began to change. It began to soften and melt, and in the end, it all turned into a large ball of liquid. Slowly, within the cauldron stove, several types of liquid began to show signs of fusing.
Xiao Jian formed seals one after another. These were the pill seals used when refining Pills. They could fully fuse various types of liquids.
According to Senior Pill King's steps of imprinting the Xiao Jians into the depths of Xiao Jian's soul, he split out a wisp of his mind and controlled the Earth Fire to slowly reduce and weaken. However, the flames were still calcining the cauldron stoves evenly.
The liquid was slowly stirred by the invisible palm and became faster and faster. However, just as the spirit liquid was about to turn into mud, Xiao Jian was momentarily unable to control the flame and all his previous efforts were in vain. A cauldron of Pills turned into charred paste, turning into wasted Pills.
Xiao Jian was not discouraged. After sitting cross-legged and resting for an hour, he continued to start over. Because he had the experience of refining Xiao Jians the last time, he was even more careful this time. One by one, the procedures were carefully completed. Under the grilling of the earth fire, the fragrance of the Pill Furnace became increasingly rich. Slowly, the dark green spirit liquid became more and more viscous.
An hour later, the dark green liquid turned into mud. It contained a shocking amount of essence energy. Xiao Jian controlled his mind to divide it into equal sizes. Finally, the dark green pills formed an equal size of over 80 pills.
These pills rolled and rotated in the furnace, and the earth fire became smaller and smaller.
About two minutes later, the flame suddenly "Ceng!" It grew bigger and bigger. After a while, it quickly reduced in size. After being roasted by the Earth fire for the last time, over eighty pills were all condensed into smooth and shiny round Pills.
Xiao Jian controlled the fiery red palm to pick up the lid of the cauldron and put it aside. The Pill Furnaces in the Pill Furnace flew out of the cauldron as if they were being pulled by an invisible hand, forming a long and shiny dragon in the air.
The Pill had just come out of the furnace, and it was burning hot. When it touched the wall of the furnace room, the cold air emitted by the Ice Cold Stone immediately cooled down. The surface of the stone became even more shiny and bright, turning into green, round Pills.
Xiao Jian used his mind to control the Xiao Jians as they flew into the pill bottles that had been placed underground. The eight pill bottles were filled to the brim. Eighty of them were exactly ten in a bottle. Finally, it was a success.
Xiao Jian's soul force was also exhausted. No wonder the requirements to become an alchemist were so harsh. One must have a soul force that was several times stronger than an ordinary person.
It seemed like this pill refinement was really not something that an ordinary person could do. Xiao Jian sighed.
If others heard Xiao Jian's complaints, they would definitely want to strangle him to death. He had only refined twice, and this was the first time he had refined twice, yet he had already refined eighty completed pills. He was still complaining about how exhausted he was. This was not something a person would do. If it were those old alchemists, they might not even have a success rate like him. How could they accept this?!
Please! Recommending! Recommending! He hoped that his friends could give more suggestions and opinions in the comments section. If they didn't say anything, they would humbly accept it. No words, thank you. Friends who accompanied the Chef King and supported it! Speechless expressed his thanks here!!
