More haste, less speed!
Alchemy was an incomparably exquisite skill. If there was a slight mistake, the cauldron would be destroyed and the cultivator would die.
At this moment, Feng Lin wouldn't be anxious. He would remain calm.
Only when his heart was as calm as a mirror, without any ripples would he start to act.
Activate the cauldron!
Feng Lin made a hand seal and pointed out. A purple spark shot out from his finger. It seemed faint, but it suppressed an extremely scorching heat. The moment it landed in the cauldron, it instantly erupted into blazing flames.
Open the cauldron!
He slapped the cauldron, and the cauldron lid flew out.
Dragon Leaf Grass!
Ten stalks of strange grass with scaly leaves and dragon-shaped heads and tails were thrown into the cauldron. They were rapidly refined into dregs, leaving behind only a ball of green-colored liquid.
Mystic Yin Water!
100 milliliters of Mystic Yin Water was drawn into the air by Feng Lin's will, turning into a water arrow that entered the liquid bead. It rapidly expanded and condensed into a ball of ice crystals. Even though it was being roasted by the flames, it didn't melt at all and emitted a bone-piercing chill.
He hurriedly made hand seals, and the flames exploded with a bang, turning into blue flames that melted everything.
The mystic ice finally melted bit by bit, turning back into a ball of green-black liquid.
Life-extending Ointment!
A layer of ointment entered the flames and merged with the liquid, turning into a gel-like substance that exuded a strong vitality.
Life-extending Ointment was a rare item in the universe. It was produced from ten-thousand-year-old fine jade and contained spiritual qi. It was a rare item that could strengthen one's vitality. Even a dying person could rely on this item to hang on for an entire day and make arrangements for their funeral.
After adding this item, the Marrow Cleansing Pill's initial shape had already taken shape. It emitted a faint fragrance, causing one's qi and blood to surge and agitation. The medicinal effect was already starting to show.
However, it didn't succeed.
A true alchemy pill had both internal and external elements, not leaking any aura. Even if it was held in one's hand, there wouldn't be any smell. It seemed to be a lifeless item, but it contained deep vitality.
Purplestar Sand!
The sand-like substance shone brightly like stars. It was instantly roasted into liquid, bit by bit entering the gel-like substance.
Baleful Yin Pearl, Blood Dipper Jade, Bewitching Flower …
Feng Lin's hand seals changed continuously, placing the various ingredients in a specific order in an orderly manner.
The temperature of the flames rose to an incandescent level.
The colloidal ball began to condense into a round ball. The medicinal properties were completely integrated, and there were no impurities.
Only the last step of tempering remained.
Fire!
Flames filled the entire pill furnace and filled the entire space.
Close the furnace!
Feng Lin clasped his hands together and the lid of the cauldron was slammed shut, containing the firepower within.
Through the eight air vents, one could see a round object rolling and spinning rapidly.
The rough surface of the sphere was gradually polished by the flames until it became smooth and perfectly round.
The strange fragrance that permeated the air also gradually faded. This was not a sign of failure. On the contrary, it was a sign that the medicinal power was slowly converging, indicating that the pill was not far from completion.
Nine by nine, eighty-one refinements!
The more it was at this moment, the more he couldn't let down his guard.
Every pill's refining method was different, and each pill had its own unique techniques.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill required the flame to undergo 81 changes and repeated tempering in order to remove every bit of impurities in the pill and achieve 100% purity.
Only in this way could the Marrow Cleansing Pill have no side effects and strengthen the body's Profound Qi.
The pill was about to be completed.
On the contrary, Feng Lin was extremely careful. His hands danced like butterflies, exuding a beautiful and profound rhythm.
The flames in the pill furnace also sensed it from afar, expanding and contracting unceasingly. The scorching heat scattered down like the spring rain, silently entering the medicinal pearl.
At the last moment, the golden round pill gradually took shape in the flames.
Seeing this, Feng Lin felt joy in his heart. His hand seals slowed down a little, and the flames immediately erupted, causing a series of muffled sounds to ring out from the furnace.
The pill was instantly engulfed by the flames, disappearing without a trace.
"Not good!" He silently cursed and was about to let go, but it was already too late.
The pill completely exploded into a ball of green smoke, emitting a fragrant mist before dissipating into the air.
The slightest difference would result in a great disparity!
Just the trembling of a hand seal caused the pill that was about to take shape to fail. The degree of precision was above that of gene potions.
If he were to concoct the pill with the attitude of concocting gene potions, it would be a huge mistake.
The concoction of gene potions mainly relied on the ratio of the medicinal liquid. The medicinal properties could be observed and adjusted at any time.
Alchemy, on the other hand, was a trial of fire. There was no room for mistakes. Otherwise, failure would be inevitable.
It was precisely because the degree of precision in alchemy was so high that it had to be supplemented by mental detection. It was impossible to succeed by relying on one's intuition.
Given the high requirements, the effects of the pill would naturally far surpass that of gene potions.
As long as one understood the crux, a single failure was nothing.
Feng Lin calmed his state of mind and started concocting again.
Dragon Leaf Grass, Mystic Yin Water, Life Replenishing Ointment … All of them were placed into the pill furnace according to a specific order. The flames changed accordingly, tempering the medicinal properties in the most optimal state.
Very soon, many round and jelly-like semi-finished pills were concocted.
Close the furnace!
Feng Lin clapped his hands together, and the furnace lid closed with a loud bang, containing the flames within.
This time around, he wasn't careless anymore. He wasn't affected by external influences. He closed his eyes and only used his spirit force to sense the changes in the pill.
There were a total of 81 changes in the seals, and each change was a refinement!
The pill became increasingly concentrated, and the medicinal properties became one. They couldn't be separated and were stored within a small pearl.
When he opened his eyes, the flames dissipated. At the next moment, the golden pill was already floating within.
With a wave of Feng Lin's hand, the furnace lid opened naturally. The pill floated out and landed on his palm.
The pill was like a material object, as if it was forged from metal. It shone with a treasured light and was as tough as iron, difficult to destroy.
If ordinary people were to swallow such a powerful item, even if they didn't explode from the medicinal potency, they would still die from swallowing metal.
He wondered what was so profound about those divine pills and immortal medicines that could allow mortals to ascend to the heavens in a single step.
Without reaching that realm, it was useless to think too much.
Feng Lin didn't hesitate too much. He carefully sensed the medicinal potency of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and discovered that it was indeed a success.
He didn't think too much and swallowed the pill in one go.
The moment the seemingly material pill entered his mouth, it immediately transformed into boiling lava and exploded. Boundless heat seeped into every part of his body, including his flesh, blood, internal organs, and bones …
His spine was like a dragon, churning unceasingly. A large number of cells in his bone marrow split, producing primordial stem cells that repaired every single part of the human body.
Those hidden injuries that had been accumulated through countless battles were all repaired, reaching a flawless state. His vitality was growing at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
There was a saying in ancient cultivation terms: After swallowing a golden pill, one will know that one's fate is in their own hands and not in the hands of the heavens! If one's fate is in their own hands, one will be able to plant a golden lotus in the fire.
