Du Feng smacked his lips and gained some insights from the process of tasting the waste pills. It was estimated that there was something wrong with the refining process. In addition, the Second Essence Heavy Water was used incorrectly. Although the water was good, the Yin Qi was too heavy.
The Black Dragon River, which had obtained the Second Essence Heavy Water, was close to the passage to the Underworld. The reaction of the elixir mixed with such cold water in the high-temperature furnace fire was too intense, which was a major reason for the failure of the refining process.
Got it! Du Feng thought of a way to preheat the elixir before putting it into the Medicine King Tripod. This preheating was done with a weak spark fire, not the fierce Phoenix Clan's Immortal Fire. In this way, the coldness in the Second Essence Heavy Water could be neutralized.
To be cautious, Du Feng only used one elixir for the experiment. He had already wasted four elixirs, and now there were only 187 left. He had to be careful.
A spark fire could start a prairie fire, and a spark fire could also warm the elixir. After the elixir was warmed, Du Feng felt it and found that the coldness inside had indeed been removed. Then he carefully put it into the Medicine King Tripod.
"Sizzle …"
This time, the situation was different. The previous two times, there was black smoke in the process of burning, but this time, there was soft white smoke. There was no peculiar smell, but it was accompanied by bursts of medicinal fragrance. After smelling it, there was a refreshing and penetrating feeling.
Du Feng knew that when the medicinal fragrance came out, the alchemy would be half successful. Because he had rubbed the elixir into a pill in advance, there was no need for the process of condensing the elixir into a pill. He only needed to wait for the fire to be ready, and then he could take out the elixir smoothly.
The process of taking out the elixir was also very critical. If he did not do it well, the elixir would explode and hurt himself.
Du Feng observed the color of the elixir while smelling the smell coming from the Medicine King Tripod. Feeling that it was almost time, he immediately used the elixir method. The elixir method was divided into sending elixir, refining elixir, and taking elixir. There was no problem with sending the elixir into the furnace, so it all depended on the last elixir.
A faint yellow light flashed, and a Spirit Cultivating Pill the size of a pigeon's egg sprang out of the furnace. Like an elastic rubber ball, it bounced quite well. The higher the grade of the pill, the greater the force when it comes out of the furnace, so an Alchemist must have the ability to catch it. Otherwise, if he were to be knocked down by a pill after refining a furnace of pills, that would be a joke.
"Return!"
Du Feng stretched out his index finger and held the small porcelain bottle with his other four fingers. He turned his wrist and drew a circle in the air. The Spirit Cultivating Pill flew back into the small porcelain bottle like a swallow returning to its nest.
Haha, success! At this moment, the successful concoction of the pill meant that Du Feng had already grasped the correct method. He was different from other alchemists. As long as he grasped the correct method, he would not make any mistakes in the future.
Du Feng opened the small porcelain bottle and looked at the Spirit-Cultivating Pill inside. It was a Tier 1 mid-grade immortal pill. This kind of immortal pill was suitable for martial artists at level five of the Sky Human Realm. Of course, martial artists at level one could also use it, but it would be a waste. Of course, he was not afraid of wasting his own pills. He raised the small porcelain bottle and directly poured the Spirit-Cultivating Pill into his mouth.
He had been stuck at the late stage of level one of the Sky Human Realm and had not broken through yet. He took this opportunity to replenish the essence energy he had just consumed and break through to level two of the Sky Human Realm.
The mid-grade Spirit-Cultivating Pill was indeed incomparable to useless pills. The effective ingredients were as high as 80%. The remaining part did not have any toxic side effects. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a warm current immediately rose in his body. Du Feng sat cross-legged on the spot and took advantage of the heat to digest the essence energy.
"Phew …"
When Du Feng stood up from the ground again, his Cultivation had broken through to the early stage of level two of the Sky Human Realm. He took a deep breath and stretched his arms. The progress in Cultivation was also helpful for alchemy. Coupled with the previous experience, he would definitely be more successful this time.
In order to verify this fact, Du Feng decided to directly refine ten pills in this furnace. Under normal circumstances, a full furnace would produce a full 100 pills. His Medicine King Tripod could refine 120 pills at once. Although he was confident this time, he did not want to take such a risk. Ten pills was a more appropriate number.
After the ten rudimentary pills were thrown into the furnace, they quickly sizzled and emitted white smoke. A wave of medicinal fragrance floated over, making people feel comfortable. From the medicinal fragrance, Du Feng could tell that the alchemy this time was successful again. When the fire was right, he used the alchemy method in time and put all ten pills into the small porcelain bottle.
Well, this was more like it.
He observed from the mouth of the bottle. This time, eight of the ten Spirit-Cultivating Pills were high-grade, only two were mid-grade, and there was no mid-grade. Although it was not as good as before, it was still a good attempt after all.
If the alchemists in the Minorcosm World knew about this result of Du Feng, they would probably be so ashamed that they would find a piece of tofu to kill themselves. It was only the first day of refining immortal pills, and he immediately refined a high-grade Spirit-Cultivating Pill. Was this not bad?
The next step was easy. Alchemy was getting easier and easier. It went from ten pills at a time to twenty pills at a time, and then from twenty pills at a time to fifty pills at a time. When he was done refining all the Spirit-Cultivating Pills, he sealed them into different small porcelain bottles and counted them.
The herbs were mixed with the Second Essence Heavy Water, and a total of 191 rudimentary pills were made. The first two times, four were wasted. The third time, one was mid-grade. The fourth time, eight were high-grade, and two were mid-grade. The fifth time, 20 were all high-grade Spirit-Cultivating Pills. The sixth time, the quality was even better. In the end, there were 187 Spirit-Cultivating Pills. There were three mid-grade, 100 high-grade, and 84 supreme-grade Spirit-Cultivating Pills.
Tsk tsk tsk … It should be enough for a while. After the first batch of Spirit-Cultivating Pills was refined, Du Feng was not in a hurry to sell them. After all, Cultivation was still the most important, because Cultivation represented strength, and strength could be exchanged for a lot of wealth.
"Brother Du, you are finally out."
By the time Du Feng came out of seclusion, the Demon Emperor was already anxious. He was not suited to manage an immortal city. There were many things that needed to be decided. Also, that fellow, the Dragon Emperor, had recently visited all the restaurants and brothels. He had spent most of his bonus money. For Du Feng's sake, he allowed him to owe some of the shops.
He would have to pay them back sooner or later, and the longer he owed them, the more it would affect Du Feng's reputation, and even the City Lord Manor's reputation.
"Don't worry, I will find something for him to do."
