Chapter 1237 Four Pills
Seeing that she had wasted two of the nine seeds of the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus, Guixia Zhenren knew that she couldn't go on like this, so she put her mind at ease, abandoned all selfish thoughts, and put all her thoughts into refining her own pills.
When Guixia Zhenren was refining for the third time, Qingyang's batch refining had reached the most critical moment. Because it was necessary to process ten materials at a time, each step in the refining process would be extended, so the final time for refining pills was not a simple multiplication and division relationship. According to Qingyang's estimation, Qingyang would need to spend about the time it takes others to refine three pills individually to refine ten pills in batches. But even so, the time was greatly shortened. If this batch refining method is used in the future, a lot of practice time can be saved.
Because Qingyang made sufficient preparations before refining, because Qingyang's alchemy skills were high enough, and because Qingyang used the spiritual treasure Ziyun Tongxiao Ding, or perhaps other reasons, in short, Qingyang's operation has been relatively smooth, and there have been no unexpected situations.
Of course, after using his mind for a long time, Qingyang's face also showed a trace of fatigue, but he could still hold on. During these years, Qingyang had never forgotten the Concentration Technique taught by the One-horned Ghost King while practicing. His mind was several times stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level, and even not much inferior to the cultivators of the late Jindan stage. It was just in use at this time. Moreover, Qingyang knew that the more he could not relax at this time, so he was highly focused and did not dare to slack off.
Finally, all the materials had been added to the furnace, and the pill refining had reached the final stage. Countless medicinal liquid materials reacted and catalyzed in the furnace to sublimate into another material. Even Qingyang only knew the results of many changes but not the reasons. Qingyang could only maximize his mind and monitor all the reactions in the furnace, and take measures immediately if there was any abnormality.
Fortunately, everything was under his control. The reaction in the furnace was gradually completed, and a new liquid was gradually generated. Then Qingyang used the alchemy technique to purify, thicken, collect, gather spirits, and replenish essence... After a series of operations, he finally reached the final process of condensing the pill. Because ten materials were refined at the same time this time, the process of condensing the pill was different from the previous ones, and it was necessary to pay special attention and operate carefully.
Qingyang used a special technique to continuously slap the Ziyun Tongxiao Ding. The furnace vibrated with a special frequency as Qingyang slapped it. With the vibration of the furnace, the viscous liquid inside began to gradually separate. At first, two groups of turquoise viscous liquid were separated. Under the heating of the fire-driving gourd and the constant vibration of the furnace, the viscous liquid condensed into two pills. After that, Qingyang's actions did not stop. A group of turquoise liquid was separated from the remaining liquid. As before, this group of turquoise liquid also condensed into a pill.
Three pills were formed, and the remaining liquid medicine was much darker in color, looking like a dark brown medicine residue. Qingyang did not give up, but continued to operate. After a long time, a dark brown liquid separated from the medicine residue and barely condensed into a dark brown pill.
At this time, Qingyang knew very well that these four pills were basically his limit. The remaining things in the pill furnace were all discarded medicine residues and useless, so he casually slapped the medicine residue out of the medicine cauldron, and then carefully took out the four pills.
Among these four pills, the first two were of high quality and had higher efficacy than ordinary pills. The third one was of slightly worse quality, but it was also a standard finished pill with no problem in efficacy. The fourth pill was of the worst quality, just barely formed a pill, and the efficacy was very low.
However, ten materials can be used to refine four pills, and this is the first batch of refining. This level is absolutely superb, and Qingyang is very satisfied with it. Because the level of the pill reached the Golden Core level, and it was the first time to refine it in batches, although Qingyang planned to refine it in batches, he was not very confident at first. He thought that he could refine two or three pills, which would be good. Unexpectedly, he finally produced four pills, which was indeed an extraordinary performance.
Although Qingyang was very tired at this time, and his mind was also aching due to long-term overload operation, Qingyang was in a very good mood. In the past, he dared only use refining materials to try batch refining, let alone the Golden Core level, and he had not even tried the Foundation Establishment level. This time the trial was successful, which showed that his current strength could fully support the batch refining of Golden Core-level pills.
In the future, when Qingyang refines Juyuan Pills, he can use the batch refining method to save a lot of time for refining pills. In the future, if there are not enough spirit stones, he is prepared to earn spirit stones by refining pills. Not to mention the success rate, the time alone is more advantageous than others.
The four pills in his hand exuded a faint spiritual medicine fragrance, which was very similar to the lotus root before. Now this smell was also refined into the pill. Although the lotus root and lotus seeds were taken from the same plant, the lotus seeds exuded a foul smell. There was such a big difference. I don’t know how the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus grew in the past.
Just when Qingyang was checking the pills, a muffled sound suddenly came from the pill furnace next to him, and then a foul smell came out. No need to ask, it must be that Master Guixia failed to refine the pill again.
After failing twice in a row, this time when he started to refine pills, Guixia Zhenren originally abandoned all selfish thoughts and concentrated on refining pills. Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but in the second half, he suddenly found that Qingyang's pill refining was successful. The success of batch refining was enough to surprise him, but what shocked him most was that four pills were produced from ten materials.
This result really blinded her eyes. It was too incredible. After seeing Qingyang's technique before, Guixia Zhenren just thought that Qingyang's pill technique was very unusual and better than she thought, but she never thought it could be so unusual. Batch refining has a 40% success rate. If it is refined one by one, the success rate must be 50%? What is this concept? I'm afraid that a quasi-Nascent Soul Alchemist is not at this level, right?
I originally thought that he was just an ordinary elixir master, but I didn't expect Qingyang's elixir skills to be so high. It was really a treasure. An elixir master of this strength should be a guest of honor for Yuanying cultivators in the Immortal Realm. Why on earth would he be willing to come to the Ghost Valley to be an ordinary pharmacist assistant? Last time I heard him say that he was looking for a way to treat his relatives. Who is that relative to him? How could he give up everything and come to the Ghost Valley?
