Chapter 244: Soul Gathering Pill (1/2)

The mist was hazy, and the misty lake was in sight.

Lin Mu and Shitou flew straight to the island in the middle of the lake without slowing down.

When they arrived above the island in the middle of the lake, Lin Mu smiled and made a gesture with his hands. The quiet white mist on the island suddenly surged and kept changing.

After a moment, Lin's father responded.

The thick white mist suddenly parted, revealing a path.

Lin Mu and Shitou flashed and entered it, and the white mist closed again.

Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Yunmeng all greeted them with smiles on their faces.

Lin's father asked with a smile: "How was the harvest? Did you buy spiritual grains?"

Shitou said with a smile: "A good harvest! Absolutely a good harvest! In just over ten days, my master and I earned 350,000 low-grade spiritual stones."

350,000!

Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Yunmeng all looked shocked.

Mother Lin asked hurriedly: "Monster hunting is so profitable? Did you encounter any danger?"

Lin Mu shook his head and smiled: "No danger at all, it's easy. Shitou and I first found a group of blood wolves, about a hundred in number, all of which are level three monsters. There are only a dozen level four blood wolves. With such strength, it is naturally difficult for them to pose any threat to us. Shitou and I wiped out the wolf pack without any effort. More than a hundred blood wolves, earning 160,000 yuan!"

Yun Meng smiled and said: "Where did the other 190,000 come from?"

Lin Mu smiled: "In addition 190,000 is a bit troublesome. Shitou and I found six more white tigers in a cliff cave deep in the misty forest. These six white tigers are all strong. Five are level 5 monsters and one is level 6 monster. They are also very powerful. But Shitou and I both have top-grade defensive magic weapons with amazing defensive power. The white tigers can't break our defense at all. We killed them all without much effort. Six white tigers, earning 190,000 yuan, are more valuable than more than a hundred blood wolves. "

Lin Mu said that it seemed that he killed six white tigers easily. He didn't say the danger.

Now that he has returned safely, there is no need to worry his parents and Yunmeng.

After hearing this, Lin's mother and Yunmeng both had smiles on their faces.

Yunmeng and Lin Mu looked at each other, blushed, and then lowered their heads.

Lin Mu looked normal, and then smiled at his parents: "After selling the inner elixir of the monster and the materials, Shitou and I went to buy another 5,000 kilograms of first-grade spiritual grains, so that the disciples don't have to worry about not having food in the future."

Father Lin smiled and said: "During the days you were away, your mother has made cold fog fish for your disciples three times. Although cold fog fish tastes good, it has been eaten many times and has long been tired of it. Your disciples are good, and no one has a complaint."

Lin Mu smiled and said: "This time I bought spiritual grains and spiritual food utensils, so you don't have to worry about these in the future."

The five chatted for a while, and Lin Mu got up to gather the disciples.

When they heard that Lin Mu had brought back 5,000 kilograms of spiritual grains, all fifty disciples were smiling.

In Qianyu Sword Sect, they could only eat ordinary meals. If they wanted to eat the food made from the spiritual valley, they had to pay for it with spiritual stones. Now, on this island in the middle of the lake, they could eat free spiritual valley without doing anything, and there would be free elixirs in the future. It was wise and lucky to have fought hard for this opportunity before.

The spiritual valley was already there, and what was missing was a spiritual dining hall.

Lin Mu immediately took several disciples who knew the "Earth Wall Technique" to build a small spiritual dining hall on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake.

After a day of hard work, they successfully built a decent spiritual dining hall.

Lin Mu looked at the small spiritual dining hall, which was small but well-equipped, and felt a little happy. In the future, the disciples would have a place to eat.

The faces of the fifty Qi Refining disciples were also full of joy.

With this spiritual dining hall, there will be no worries about food and drink in the future!

Lin Mu looked at the disciples with excited faces and smiled sincerely, "From now on, you can come here to eat once every three days."

The disciples became more and more happy, and agreed with a smile, nodding their heads.

Most of the disciples have cultivation levels above the eighth level of Qi Refining, and their requirements for food are not high. Eating one meal every three to five days is enough.

Especially, Lin Mu did not buy ordinary food, but spiritual grains. Eating them as meals is also very beneficial to cultivation.

Lin Mu smiled at the disciples and said, "I need to work hard on refining pills in the future, and I don't have much free time to cook for you. Everything depends on you. Do any of you know how to cook?"

Immediately, several disciples smiled and answered, "Yes!"

"Cooking is not simple!" Gu Chen smiled and said, "I can do it too!"

Lin Mu looked at the excited disciples and smiled, "That's great. From now on, this spiritual dining hall will be left to you to take care of."

Then he took out the spiritual dining utensils, and several disciples hurriedly put them in the right place.

Lin Mu took out another storage bag and handed it to Gu Chen: "There are 5,000 kilograms of spiritual grains in it, which is enough for you to eat for a period of time. You can keep it."

Gu Chen took it with a smile: "Just give it to me, I will definitely not let them starve."

Lin Mu nodded with a smile, then turned to the other disciples and said: "Don't be lazy, you have to take turns to help."

The remaining disciples nodded in unison, smiling.

Lin Mu left a group of excited disciples and walked out of the spiritual dining hall with a smile.

After solving the problem of eating, Lin Mu felt relieved.

The development of the lake island is on the right track.

Without any worries, Lin Mu and Shitou decided to continue refining pills.

Five kinds of pills, each with 1,800 materials, a total of 9,000.

Lin Mu and Shitou can only refine ten bottles of pills a day, consuming more than ten materials.

At this speed, it is as slow as a snail. It may take two years to refine 9,000 materials!

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Mu decided to enter the Xuanyue space to refine.

Leaving his parents and Yunmeng to look after the disciples outside, Lin Mu and Shitou entered the wooden house.

Lin Mu closed the door and then set up layers of restrictions. The wooden house was immediately shrouded in white fog. Even if the disciples outside wanted to come and spy, they could not see the situation in the house clearly.

After doing this, Lin Mu felt relieved. With a move of his spiritual consciousness, he and Shitou disappeared from the spot and entered the Xuanyue space.

The two took out the pill furnace outside the house and started refining.

Lin Mu and Shitou threw a portion of material into the alchemy furnace respectively. An hour later, green smoke came out of both furnaces.

The two smiled at each other and failed after the initial alchemy.

It is not easy to refine the third-grade elixir. The divine consciousness, fire control, and alchemy furnace are all extremely important and have a great impact on the success rate and speed of alchemy.

Lin Mu's divine consciousness is now at the peak of the Spiritual Silence Stage, and his fire control has reached the level of the fourth-grade fire lotus. The alchemy furnace is even a top-grade purple incense furnace. His alchemy level is also far beyond that of ordinary spiritual silence cultivators, but his success rate is still unsatisfactory.

The two of them calmed down and slowly immersed themselves in alchemy, and their level also improved little by little.

After practicing for more than ten days, Lin Mu's alchemy level began to improve significantly.

The most obvious thing is the refining speed. Before, it took him three hours to refine a furnace of third-grade elixir, but now it has been reduced to two hours.

On the first day, he only refined six bottles of elixir, but now he can refine nine bottles!

The success rate of alchemy has also increased significantly. Before, consuming ten materials a day, only six bottles were refined. Now, consuming thirteen materials a day, nine bottles can be refined, and the success rate has increased to 70%!

Shitou has also made great progress. Now consuming twelve materials a day, seven bottles of third-grade elixirs can be refined, and the success rate has reached 60%.

As the number of times of alchemy increases, the alchemy level of the two is also steadily improving.

One by one, the materials are constantly thrown into the furnace by the two, and then they are refined into elixirs, or scrapped into residues.

Lin Mu and Shitou have been concentrating on alchemy, not caring about worldly affairs.

Lin Mu only went to check the growth of the spiritual medicine in the Xuanyue space when he was resting. The third-grade spiritual medicine and the seven-star grass grew well. Lin Mu also applied rain twice in the middle. The rest of the time, Lin Mu put all his mind on alchemy.

The days were busy and fulfilling, and March passed in a blink of an eye.

One day, Lin Mu stopped his actions and put away the alchemy furnace with a smile.

Three months had passed, and both he and Shitou had changed a lot, and their alchemy skills had improved.

Lin Mu's success rate in alchemy had reached 75%, and he could refine ten bottles of third-grade pills every day.

Shitou's success rate had also reached 65%, and he could refine eight bottles every day.

In three months, the two of them consumed a total of 2,400 materials and refined 1,600 bottles of third-grade pills.

Under the deliberate control of Lin Mu and Shitou, the number of pills refined in the house was roughly the same, with more than 300 bottles of each type of pill.

Lin Mu and Shitou were quite satisfied with such results.

The two of them had been refining pills in the Xuanyue Space for three months, and one and a half months had passed outside.

Lin Mu remembered that the 200 acres of first-grade spiritual herbs planted by his father should be mature, and his spiritual consciousness moved, and he disappeared with Shitou.

When he appeared again, he was already in Lin Mu's wooden house.

Lin Mu opened the ban and walked out of the wooden house side by side with Shitou.

As soon as he walked out of the hut, Lin Mu's face suddenly showed a touch of joy when he smelled the fragrant medicinal fragrance.

The first-grade spiritual herbs are ripe!

In the spiritual field, Lin's father, Lin's mother and Yun Meng were busy collecting with fifty Qi Refining disciples. Lin Mu and Shitou hurried forward to help.

After harvesting this batch of spiritual herbs, Lin Mu will be able to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill and let his disciples take it for cultivation.

Although the lake island is a third-grade cave paradise with rich spiritual energy, if fifty disciples are asked to practice hard on their own, it is unlikely that they can build a foundation within ten years.

Pills are really very important.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the two hundred acres of first-grade spiritual herbs were collected in one day.

Then Lin Mu left twenty disciples to help prepare the materials, and the remaining disciples went to cultivate the spiritual field with his father.

All the two hundred acres of first-grade spiritual herbs were prepared into materials, and the number was amazing.

After counting, Lin Mu and Shitou were both extremely happy.

Twelve thousand copies!

One harvest, and 12,000 materials were prepared!

With such a number of materials, with Lin Mu's level of refining the Soul Gathering Pill, he can at least refine 9,000 bottles of the Soul Gathering Pill.

9,000 bottles of the Soul Gathering Pill!

In this way, many disciples will be promoted to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Lin Mu was inexplicably happy and could not help but consider how to distribute these pills in advance.

This time, he accepted 50 disciples, 15 of whom had already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, 16 of whom had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, 13 of whom had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the remaining 6 had different levels of cultivation. Jing Qi was the youngest, and his cultivation was only at the third level of Qi Refining.

Lin Mu did not plan to give the tenth-level Qi Refining disciples any more Soul Gathering Pills. Most of them were at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining. All they needed was a Foundation Building Pill. Lin Mu planned to let them practice hard on the lake island for a few years, and then give them Foundation Building Pills to help them build their foundation.

Of course, Lin Mu had to take the risk. These disciples were just ordinary, and the chance of successfully building their foundation was not very high.

As for the ninth-level Qi Refining disciples, Lin Mu planned to give each of them 500 bottles of Soul Gathering Pills, which would be enough to raise their cultivation to the tenth level of Qi Refining, and then let them practice hard on their own.

In this way, there were only one thousand bottles left out of the nine thousand bottles of Soul Gathering Pills.

If these one thousand bottles were used on the eighth-level Qi Refining disciples, the effect would be minimal.

Lin Mu planned to give all these one thousand bottles of Soul Gathering Pills to the six disciples with lower cultivation. Although their cultivation was not high, they all had excellent perseverance. Otherwise, Lin Mu would not have accepted them as disciples.

These six disciples had low cultivation, and the Soul Gathering Pills were quite effective, so they could easily raise their cultivation.

As for the thirteen Qi Refining Level 8 disciples, they would wait until the next batch of spiritual herbs were harvested before vigorously cultivating them.

By then, the Qi Refining Level 9 disciples would have entered the Qi Refining Level 10, and Lin Mu would not have to worry too much, and could focus on cultivating the Qi Refining Level 8 disciples.

After Lin Mu made his plans, he put away the twelve thousand materials.

At this time, Father Lin, along with thirty disciples, had also reclaimed two hundred acres of spiritual fields.

Lin Mu estimated that the disciples would need fewer and fewer elixirs in the future, and two hundred acres of spiritual fields would be a waste, so he told his father that only one hundred acres of first-grade spiritual herbs would be planted, and the remaining one hundred acres of spiritual fields would also be planted with third-grade spiritual herbs.

Father Lin nodded in agreement, and was busy sowing seeds and applying rain.

Lin Mu and Shitou had this free time, so they took a day off and spent the day with a group of disciples laughing.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Mu took the time to instruct the disciples on their cultivation, and the day passed quickly.

In the evening, Lin Mu came to his parents' house and handed over the one thousand six hundred bottles of third-grade spiritual pills he had refined before to his father.

There were 1,600 bottles of third-grade medicine, and each type of medicine only had 300 bottles.

Lin Mu told his parents to take it evenly and try to keep the five elements of spiritual power stable.

Lin's father and mother both smiled and nodded in agreement.

The next day.

Lin Mu and Shitou entered the wooden house, set up restrictions, and entered the Xuanyue space again to refine the medicine.

But this time, they refined a first-grade Juling Pill.

Lin Mu was very familiar with the refining of Juling Pill.

At the beginning, he was just a Qi Refining disciple, and the success rate of refining Juling Pill was more than 80%.

Now, whether it is cultivation, fire control, spiritual consciousness, alchemy level, and alchemy furnace, Lin Mu has surpassed the past in all aspects, and the success rate must be higher!

The same is true for Shitou. The success rate of refining Juling Pill is not much lower than that of Lin Mu.

It is indeed so!

On the first day, Lin Mu tried his hand and easily refined 36 bottles of Juling Pill, consuming only 38 materials.

The success rate has exceeded 90%!

Although the Soul Gathering Pill is a first-grade pill, Shitou is refining it for the first time after all. Whether it is the success rate or the speed, it is weaker than Lin Mu.

He consumed thirty materials and refined 25 bottles of Soul Gathering Pill, and the success rate has exceeded 80%!

On the second day, Lin Mu used all his strength and refined 40 bottles a day!

Shitou has also adapted. For him, the first-grade pill is really easy. He refined 33 bottles!

40 bottles a day is already Lin Mu's peak level. In the following month, he did this every day.

Shitou is still making progress slowly, and the success rate has gradually reached 90%. He can also refine 38 bottles of Soul Gathering Pill every day.

Both of them are refining first-grade pills, and their pill refining levels are not much different.

At the end of the first month, Lin Mu refined 1,200 bottles of Soul Gathering Pill, consuming 1,300 materials.

Shitou also refined 1,100 bottles of Soul Gathering Pill, consuming more than 1,200 materials.

In the second month, while refining pills, Lin Mu began to make different adjustments, hoping to speed up the refining speed again.

He tried many methods in succession, but they all had little effect.

Suddenly one day, he remembered that when Fairy Han Bing was refining the foundation-building pill, she once refined three foundation-building pills in one furnace!

Lin Mu was deeply inspired and immediately threw three materials into the purple incense furnace and began to refine.

Chi!

After a cup of tea, a burst of green smoke came out, and the smell of burning was pungent.

Lin Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head. It is easier said than done. At the beginning, he saw Fairy Han Bing easily refine three foundation-building pills without any effort.

Although the foundation-building pill is already a third-grade pill, he can't succeed in refining the first-grade spirit-gathering pill now.

Everything is not as easy as imagined, nor as beautiful as imagined.

Lin Mu wanted to use this method to speed up the refining speed, but the situation did not improve, and the loss was even greater than before, with three materials lost in one furnace.

He has now refined a hundred furnaces of Gathering Spirit Pills, and only lost three or five portions of materials.

Lin Mu poured out the residue in the furnace, gritted his teeth, took out three more portions of materials and threw them into the furnace, then carefully controlled the temperature, constantly checking the changes in the spiritual herbs in the furnace with his spiritual sense, and making minor adjustments to the flames from time to time.

Chi!

Another burst of green smoke came out, and the experiment failed again.

Lin Mu's eyes became more determined, and he took out three more materials and threw them into the furnace.

Today, he vowed to refine three materials at the same time.

If he followed the steps and refined them honestly, it might take a few months to refine all these materials.

But Lin Mu didn't want to do that, he expected more changes.

If everything was destined and exactly the same, how could he make progress and surpass others?

Fairy Han Bing could refine three foundation-building pills in one furnace, and it was easy, so why couldn't he even refine a first-grade spirit-gathering pill?

Lin Mu carefully controlled the temperature, and his spiritual sense kept observing the changes in the furnace. The four-leaf fire lotus at the bottom of the furnace floated slightly.

Lin Mu refined for half an hour this time, and the solidified medicine liquid gathered together, and the pill was almost formed.

Chi!

When it was about to succeed, it failed again.

Lin Mu was not defeated. He took out three portions of materials and threw them into the furnace again.

Hiss! Hiss! Chi!

Failure! Failure! Failure!

Green smoke, green smoke, green smoke again!

For ten times in a row, Lin Mu failed once.

Thirty portions of materials, all wasted.

Lin Mu spent ten days refining the Soul Gathering Pill, but only lost thirty portions of materials. Now he has reached this point in one day, and the loss is still continuing, with no end.

The eleventh time, failed!

The twelfth time, failed!

…

The nineteenth time, failed!

The twentieth time, failed!

…

The thirtieth time, a puff of green smoke came out!

The fiftieth time, a pungent smell of burning!

The eightieth time, green smoke again!

The hundredth time, Lin Mu was extremely skilled and poured out the residue in the furnace.

In three days, Lin Mu failed a hundred times!

Three portions of materials per furnace, 100 furnaces equal 300 portions!

300 portions of materials, all gone, this is almost the harvest of 6 mu of spiritual field.

In these three days, Shitou successfully refined 120 bottles of Julingdan, only 15 portions of materials were lost.

Although Lin Mu felt sorry for the materials, he was unwilling to give up.

If he gave up now, all the efforts of the previous three days would be in vain.

In these three days, Lin Mu did not gain nothing, at least, he had a deeper understanding of the elixir.

He understood every change of the elixir.

Lin Mu was determined to continue the experiment, took out three portions of materials, and started to refine again.

The flame at the bottom of the furnace was stable, and his consciousness observed the changes in the furnace. The changes of the medicine liquid were normal. Lin Mu looked happy and carefully controlled the temperature.

Under Lin Mu's control, the medicine liquid in the furnace gradually changed from liquid to solid, and condensed into a pill!

It's done!

A burst of refreshing medicine fragrance suddenly overflowed from the furnace.

The fragrance was fragrant!
