C105 Pill forging was also training?
Alchemy, was also cultivation?
Refining a soul pill was actually the process of using soul force to refine spiritual herbs and then condensing the medicinal essence.
Try it.
After obtaining the answer, Teng Yan did not hesitate anymore and started to concoct the second pill in his life.
Teng Yan was still the same as before, taking out the seven spirit herbs necessary to refine the Body Refinement Pellet, releasing his soul flame at the same time, and also placing the seven spirit herbs on the palm of his hand that held his soul flame. Everything was still the same as before, but the only difference was that from this moment onwards, Teng Yan was going to use his soul force to refine the seven spirit herbs.
The soul.
This was a part of the human body. However, it was an illusory existence before it was condensed and could not be used. Now that Teng Yan had condensed and formed it, his soul force was the same as the spirit energy in a warrior's body, allowing him to freely control it.
Soul power had another advantage over spirit energy.
The soul was a part of the human body, so naturally, soul force could also be considered a human's "instinct." However, spiritual energy was different. Spiritual energy was condensed by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It could be said that spiritual energy came from outsiders and needed to be controlled by the user before it could be used. Soul force, as an 'instinct', could be manipulated at will by the body's own consciousness. Compared to that, it was much simpler and easier.
A consciousness could control soul force.
Teng Yan's soul force was that soul flame.
BOOM *
Following the control of Teng Yan's consciousness, the soul flame on his right hand started to slowly wrap around the seven Spirit Grasses, and then, the threads of soul flame unceasingly "squeezed" the seven Spirit Grasses. During this process, Teng Yan could see traces of the soul flame's essence being separated from the seven Spirit Grasses, forming seven essence balls.
The essence was continuously being refined.
Hu hu hu hu …
During this process, the continuous usage of Teng Yan's soul flame caused the soul origin within the Destiny Soul Fire to release traces of pure energy, which then consumed the soul flame. At the same time, the pure Spiritual Energy within his dantian began to replenish the consumption from his soul source. Moreover, it continued to strengthen the source of his soul.
The soul flames were constantly being consumed, the soul source constantly providing energy, and the pure spiritual energy constantly supporting the soul source.
Consumption, replenishment, support.
This was a cycle. At the same time, it was also causing the source of the soul to constantly change and grow stronger.
This was simply cultivation.
Sensing this point, Teng Yan's heart was so shocked that it was hard to put into words.
Alchemy;
Is it also a way to train the soul?
This was definitely an unexpected surprise.
Of course, Teng Yan knew very well that the key to all of this was the pure spirit energy in his dantian. Once this spirit energy was used up, then … The soul source couldn't be supplied. When that time came, only when the soul source was consumed and couldn't be replenished, the soul source would gradually dry up. This wasn't a good thing at all.
In this way, the strengthening of pure spiritual energy became a problem that couldn't be ignored.
At this moment, Teng Yan had a new understanding of the cultivation of the Chaotic Heavenly Mantra.
Regardless of whether it was the martial cultivation or the soul cultivation, their goal was the same: to absorb the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. The martial cultivation section used spiritual energy to temper the body. At the same time, the other portion of spiritual energy would gather into the dantian. The Soul Cultivation Technique also absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, but it gathered directly into the Dantian.
Regardless of whether it was the martial arts or soul cultivation chapters, they all gathered spiritual energy into the Dantian.
At this time, a portion of the spirit energy gathered within the dantian would be absorbed by the spirit fire to strengthen the source of the soul. The other portion was directly converted into spirit energy and stored in the dantian to support the soul source when it was exhausted.
Actually, this was the usage of spiritual energy.
The Condensing Reality Realm martial artist could use spirit energy to attack, this was also the principle of defense.
The pure spirit energy in Teng Yan's body was no different from the Condensing Reality Realm martial artist's. The only difference was that Teng Yan wasn't a warrior yet, but he had his spirit energy long ago. At the same time, it couldn't be used like the Condensing Reality Realm martial artist, and could only be used to assist the spirit source.
Of course, when Teng Yan's meridians were fully recovered and he truly became a warrior, the spirit energy in his dantian would not only be able to assist his spirit energy source, but would also be able to be used like other warriors. Of course, at that time, when his meridians were repaired, Teng Yan would also be able to absorb spiritual energy much faster than he did now, and the amount of spiritual energy in his body that he could store would increase exponentially as well.
The first time he was refining pills, Teng Yan received an unexpected benefit.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this time, he recovered from the pleasant surprise and focused all of his attention on the Spirit Grass in his hand.
After all, this was his first time concocting a pill, and it was uncertain whether he would succeed or not.
At this time, the seven Spirit Grasses were already completely dried up, and with the continuous usage of the soul flame, the seven Spirit Grasses quickly turned into powder and disappeared into Teng Yan's hands. At this moment, all that was left was the small ball formed from the essence of the seven Spirit Grass.
Now, what Teng Yan needed to do was to condense these seven balls together.
"Phew …"
This was the first time he used his soul force during his first time refining pills, causing Teng Yan to feel exhausted. After all, he wasn't proficient in the use of soul force, and his newly advanced Chenchen soul force wasn't that strong either. This kind of consumption could be said to be the ultimate. Beads of sweat were already seeping out of his forehead. But even so, Teng Yan reminded himself that he had to persevere, if not he would definitely fail the first time he concocted the pill.
BOOM *
Following Teng Yan's command, the seven pellets made of essence began to slowly approach each other. However, it was as if they were mutually exclusive, and could not easily fuse them. Under the constant urging of Teng Yan's soul flame, they slowly merged. It was countless times slower than a snail.
BOOM *
Finally, with Teng Yan's hard work, the seven pellets slowly fused, and at this time, the surrounding nature spirit energy suddenly surged towards the newly condensed pellet. At this time, the pill made from the seven beads started to spin rapidly, and as it spun, the countless amount of spiritual energy was also absorbed crazily.
That speed... It was even more terrifying than when Teng Yan was cultivating the Chaotic Heavenly Mantra.
"Is it about to form a pill?" Seeing the scene in front of his eyes, Teng Yan's face lit up, and then after that, he was stunned, because he thought about the words in the legacy of the alchemist, that could start separating the pills that were about to take shape, and the more times they would separate, the more pills they would concoct, and the similar effects.
Divide!
Immediately, without any hesitation, Teng Yan began to control his soul flames to separate the only pellet.
But …
The process of separation was much more difficult than when he was refining the essences.
At the moment, Teng Yan was completely drenched in sweat.
"Phew …"
After successfully separating the pill the first time, Teng Yan immediately gave up. Right now, he had already reached his limit. If he wanted to continue the separation process, he might end up failing the pill forging process. So Teng Yan could only give up.
Hu hu …
The two medicinal pellets frantically absorbed the surrounding nature spirit energy under the embrace of Teng Yan's soul flame.
Hu hu …
The two pearls continued to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, changing constantly. They were originally liquid medicinal beads, but now they were slowly solidifying.
BOOM *
Finally, after a few minutes, the spirit qi dissipated, and the two pellet also stopped absorbing spirit qi, they laid quietly on Teng Yan's palm. At this moment, the pill could no longer be considered a pill but a true pill. Two milky white pills. However, its appearance … Even Teng Yan himself did not dare to compliment her.0
After all, this was Teng Yan's first time refining a pill.
BOOM *
Just when Teng Yan thought that everything was over, a warm energy suddenly came out from the two pills inside the spirit flame. It instantly flowed into the spirit source inside the dantian through the spirit flame, and immediately strengthened the spirit source.
"You can even do that?" This scene shocked Teng Yan greatly.
"Phew …"
Everything calmed down, and Teng Yan withdrew his soul flame.
"This is a pill?" Looking at the two milky-white pills in his hands, Teng Yan said indifferently. Teng Yan knew that this was already his limit. If he wanted to continue concocting the pill, it would be impossible, and even the process of concocting the pill would definitely fail.
And his soul wasn't strong enough.
"F * ck, this pill refining really isn't something a human should do." Feeling the condition of his body, Teng Yan could not help but complain. However … It was a good thing that Tang San was not here right now. If Tang San was, he would definitely be shocked speechless by Teng Yan.
He succeeded on his first attempt?
Or two?
Genius? Monster? Weird?
Tang San knew very well which pharmacist in his knowledge didn't fail hundreds or even thousands of times when they first started concocting pills. Even those with formidable talent could succeed after dozens of times, but they could only refine one pill.
Where's Teng Yan?
One success, two pills … he wasn't satisfied yet.
