C1689 Advantage of High-level Flame

Just like Lu Yu, Tang Ao also sat in front of his own pill furnace with his eyes closed. Pill refining was different from martial arts cultivation. The more diligently one practiced martial arts, the greater the chances of breaking through to the next realm, and the faster the growth of one's cultivation. However, the main focus of alchemy was on alchemy comprehension. Although diligent training was also important, if one wanted to continuously improve their alchemy level, then one needed to constantly gain enlightenment.0

Tang Ao had refined a Heavy Yang Pill before, so he naturally knew that the most difficult part to refine a Heavy Yang Pill was to refine its spirit grass essence. Compared to other pills, the spirit grass essence of a Heavy Yang Pill was extremely hard to extract, especially when Tang Ao only had his spirit fire, it was imperceptibly much harder to refine.

Tang Ao saw, in Lu Yu's pill furnace, no matter what spirit grass was thrown into the furnace, Lu Yu's Sky Cloud Fire could quickly refine the spirit grass, and every drop of the clear and transparent medicinal liquid essence could very quickly be refined by Lu Yu. But in her own pill furnace, Tang Ao realised that his pill fire had burnt the spirit grass for a long time, but most of the spirit herbs did not have any reaction.

If Tang Ao was currently in the life and death realm, then even if Tang Ao used Pill Fire to refine pills, it wouldn't be slow. But since Tang Ao was merely in the ninth level of the Duan Ti Realm, for Tang Ao to use Pill Fire to refine pills, he was naturally somewhat powerless. Just a moment ago, Tang Ao thought that the pills he concocted probably did not have much of a relationship with the fire and the pill furnace.

This was because the grade of the pills he refined might not have much to do with the pill furnace, but it did have a lot to do with the pill fire. Because of the Pill Fire, some medicinal liquid essence could not refine the best pellets in time. In order to refine the best pellets, one did not need to refine all of the Spirit Grass Essence and then start to condense the pellets with the Spirit Grass Essence. However, during the refining process, different herbs' essence would fuse together at the best time, leaving behind all the medicinal properties of the herb. This way, the resulting pill would be the best.

It was just that because Tang Ao only had Pill Fire, he could refine ordinary pellets, but refining a pellet like the Heavy Yang Pill, which was an extremely fire-testing pellet, would cause Tang Ao to be unable to use Pill Fire to refine the pellets. Even though he said that, Tang Ao still did his best. This time, when he was concocting pills, Tang Ao's soul remembrance was completely focused on the changes in the medicinal liquids in the pill furnace. Tang Ao suddenly had an epiphany, which was that he could faintly feel that there was a special attraction between the medicinal liquid essence s of the various spirit herbs.

However, the relationship between them was extremely blurry, they could not see or touch it, and even if they were feeling it, they could only faintly feel it, but Tang Ao was sure that he had truly felt it. After experiencing this sensation, Tang Ao made a bold decision. He would completely release his control over the various spirit herbs with his soul remembrance and use this vague feeling to combine the pills.

The risk of Tang Ao doing this was huge. Alchemists would need to control the entire process of refining the pill, be it refining the spiritual herbs or fusing the medicinal liquid essence, and even the final condensing of the pill. Every step requires the soul remembrance of the pill refiner to be completely controlled. But at that moment, Tang Ao took the initiative to withdraw his soul remembrance and, under the senses of his soul remembrance, followed the spirit grass's movements freely according to its state of real-time.
