C707 Grade Four Pill Completion
The first two attempts had failed, but Tang Ao was able to find the reason quickly. However, he could only find a clue when he failed this time. After three tries of refining, Tang Ao felt that the recipe of the Shen Nong Emperor was still missing a medicinal ingredient. However, Tang Ao had read the Shen Nong Emperor's pill formulas over and over again, but he still did not know which medicinal ingredient was missing from the Shen Nong Emperor's pill formulas.1
Since he couldn't tell for the time being, Tang Ao decided to just put the Body Forging Pill's recipe aside. Right now, the most important thing was to become the Grade Six Alchemist as soon as possible and obtain the second half of the Alchemy Inheritance, at the same time letting Tang You accept the Emperor of the Dark Dragon's inheritance.
Half a month quickly passed by, and Tang Ao spent the entire half month concocting pills. When he ran out of soul energy and energy, Tang Ao sat cross legged to recuperate. After recuperating, Tang Ao continued to concoct pills. Tang Ao was a Tier 4 pill refiner to begin with, and after refining the pill that required half a month of rest and no food, Tang Ao's skill in pill refining had reached the peak of the fourth stage very quickly.
After he finished refining the Rank 4 pills, Tang Ao nodded his head in satisfaction. Inside the jade bottle, there were nine round, smooth, and flowing Dan Qi Pills. The One Breath Pill was one of the hardest Level Four Spirit Pills to concoct. The effects of the One Breath Pill were similar to that of the Taiqing Mysterious Mirror, which was to speed up the circulation of the spirit energy in the body of the warrior and increase the power of the warrior's martial skills.
Only, Tang Ao knew that the Taiqing Mysterious Mirror's side effects were extremely small, and the side effects of this Qi Gathering Pill was much greater. After consuming the One Breath Pill, it was very easy to tear open the meridians in a martial artist's body. In the seven days after the effects of the One Breath Pill, a martial artist would not be able to channel their spirit energy or summon their Fate Soul.
In Tang Ao's opinion, this One Breath Pill was just too useless. It wasn't that the One Breath Pill was useless. In a fight between two evenly matched warriors, a warrior who had consumed a One Breath Pill would definitely have the advantage. After consuming the One Breath Pill, the circulation of the spirit energy in his body sped up by almost three times. Tang Ao alone had never taken a One Breath Pill before, so he could still imagine how terrifying the One Breath Pill was.
However, what he could do nothing about was that the side effects of consuming the One Breath Pill were too severe. This greatly reduced the scope of application of the pill. Unless there was a life or death crisis, once this pill was consumed, one could only be at the mercy of others. In Tang Ao's eyes, the One Breath Pill was still a terrible pill, but what Tang Ao did not know was that on Xuanhuang Continent, the One Breath Pill was still a very popular medicine.
After finishing refining the One Breath Pill, Tang Ao was ready to refine the fifth grade pill. Until now, Tang Ao could already easily refine a fourth ranked pill, and because of the countless years of experience the Shen Nong Emperor had, it was very easy for Tang Ao to refine a fourth ranked pill after receiving the Shen Nong Emperor's inheritance. This also meant that Tang Ao was now a peak fourth grade spirit pellet master.
No matter where a peak tier 4 alchemist went, they would have a place to stand. In some small sects, their position was even more frightening. But Tang Ao knew, this was not the end, it was just the beginning of his journey in the Pill Dao. Tang Ao did not continue refining the fifth stage of the pill. Instead, he sat down and began to organize his pill refining experiences.
In this life, from the time Tang Ao started refining pills to the time he had refined a Rank 4 Spirit Pill, it had only taken him half a month. Tang Ao knew that he was too fast, so when he was able to concoct a Rank 4 Spirit Pill, Tang Ao stopped to organize his thoughts and understanding of the way of pills.
Three days later, Tang Ao slowly breathed out a mouthful of foul air. In these three days, he had already assimilated the knowledge inherited from the Shen Nong Emperor regarding refining tier-1 to tier-4 pills into his own dao of alchemy. After fusing all of them together, Tang Ao felt that it would be much easier to refine a Rank 4 pill now.
