Liu Ming felt that the spiritual power in his body was flowing away quickly, and his face was full of awe.
At this moment, he had been waiting for a long time. He patted the two black leather bags on his waist, and two black mists rolled out. They condensed slightly on both sides, turning into a silver mini Bone Scorpion and a hideous Demon Flying Skull respectively.
"Master!" The voices of the girl and boy came into his ears.
Liu Ming didn't speak. He just glanced at them and gave a simple command with Divine Thought.
The next moment, Bone Scorpion immediately waved its pincers and hugged Liu Ming's thigh, and Demon Flying Skull released its silk to wrap around his arm tightly.
Liu Ming nodded slightly. After carefully checking that all the materials in the Sumeru Snail and the storage amulet were ready, he closed his eyes, made gestures with both hands, and began to control the speed of the spiritual power flow in his body. After the spiritual power was absorbed, he entered the mysterious space.
As time slowly passed, his face gradually turned from the previous ruddy to pale, and the black mist that was rolling on the surface of his body became thinner and thinner.
When eighty to ninety percent of his spiritual power was absorbed, the suction in his dantian suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Liu Ming was slightly relieved in his heart. As a result, before he could think more, he only felt a "buzz" sound in his ear, then his vision went black.
When he could see clearly in front of him again, he was already in a dusky space.
This space was already an acre in size, and the area was much larger than when he entered last time.
Liu Ming glanced at Demon Flying Skull and Bone Scorpion beside him, and both of them were successfully brought into the mysterious space.
"Okay, now we have time. You two go train well." Liu Ming waved his hand and said in a low voice.
"Yes … master …"
Bone Scorpion waved a pair of giant pincers and quickly jumped down. With a flash, it appeared in front of an air wall more than a hundred meters away. At the same time, it swung its tail hook and stabbed at the air wall.
Not to be outdone, the Flying Skull instantly transformed into nine shadows, faintly discernible as they flew towards the other side of the Qi wall.
Seeing his spiritual pets and spiritual pets starting to cultivate, Liu Ming glanced around and suddenly shouted, "Let's go!"
"Senior Luo Hou, I have something to ask you. Please show yourself."
His voice reverberated in the air, but after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, there was no reply.
He called out a few more times, but after waiting for a while, he still didn't see the figure appear.
Seeing this, Liu Ming shook his head helplessly.
It seemed that Rahu was unwilling to appear at this moment, or perhaps he had fallen into a deep sleep again.
He immediately sat cross-legged and began to silently recall the contents of some ancient books that introduced the elixir system and types of the Middle Sky Continent that he had read in the Hall of All Things.
According to the records, the division of elixir in the Middle Sky Continent's Immortal Cultivation World was extremely detailed. It had become a major system of the cultivation world, which was incomparable to the Yunchuan Continent.
Although the general cultivator only divided the applicable levels of elixir into simple Spirit Apostle level, Condensation Period level, Crystallization Period level and even Jin Dan level, then according to the difficulty of refining, it was called low grade or high grade elixir.
But in fact, each level of elixir could be divided into inferior, ordinary and flawless grade elixir according to the degree of purity of the elixir.
Every elixir that was refined inevitably contained some impurities that were not beneficial to the user, and they could be easily identified by various means.
Among them, inferior elixir was elixir with more than 50% harmful impurities and less than 50% purity. Ordinary elixir was elixir with 50% to 70% purity; flawless grade elixir was elixir with more than 70% purity. Among them, 70% to 80% purity could be called pellet grade elixir, 80% to 90% purity could be called earth grade elixir, and those with more than 90% purity could be called the rumored heaven grade elixir.
Once the elixir was flawless grade, it could produce spirit patterns on the surface of the elixir, and the more spirit patterns, the higher the grade. These spirit patterns were also called elixir patterns. Therefore, even if one was not an alchemist, he could simply distinguish the grade of flawless grade elixir by the number of elixir patterns.
Generally speaking, elixir with less than 3 elixir patterns was pellet grade; elixir with more than 3 and less than 6 elixir patterns was earth grade; elixir with more than 6 elixir patterns was naturally heaven grade elixir.
Once elixir was flawless grade, regardless of its value or its price, it was incomparable with ordinary elixir. After all, the higher the purity of elixir, the higher the effect and the resistance it brought were far from comparable to the latter.
Even some elixir with special effects may have a difference of 10% or even 5% purity, which could make a world of difference in the effect.
In the Middle Sky Continent, only the alchemist who could refine flawless grade elixir could be called the real alchemy master.
Liu Ming now recalled that the Qingsan Pill that Fang Yao refined for him in the South China Sea seemed to have 2 elixir patterns on the surface. He really deserved the title of alchemy master.
Of course, the flawless grade alchemist who could refine Spirit Apostle level elixir and Condensation Period elixir were naturally very different.
After all, the former could still rely on the power of the Sect or family to pile up a large number of materials and resources; the latter could only rely on their own alchemy talent.
Liu Ming thought about it, and he vaguely remembered that when he entered the mysterious space in Yunchuan Xuanjing, he once refined a pellet grade elixir with 1 elixir pattern by refining a large number of the same Spirit Apostle level elixir.
The same was true for the entire Cultivation World. The higher the realm of cultivation, the more difficult it was to find an alchemy master who could refine elixir suitable for their level.
As Liu Ming thought about it, he suddenly took out the jade box containing the silver elixir wrapped in tri-color flames from the Sumeru Snail around his waist. He opened the lid of the box, gently picked it up with 2 fingers, and looked at it carefully.
After confirming that there were indeed 3 golden elixir patterns on the surface through the tri-color flames, Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation. He shook his head again and put the elixir away.
"Then let's start with the cold condensing pill."
After muttering to himself, he immediately took out a pill recipe from his sleeve and studied it carefully.
Half a day later, after some careful consideration, he immediately flicked his sleeve, and a faint silver cauldron flew out from it. After a blur, it became a few feet high and landed steadily on the ground.
Then, he reached into his sleeve and took out a light yellow talisman.
The surface of the talisman was covered with dense silver spirit patterns. It was an ordinary storage talisman used to store alchemy materials.
He immediately crushed the storage talisman. After a yellow light flashed, a pile of materials needed for alchemy scattered on the ground.
These materials were carefully distributed according to the proportion of materials needed for the cold condensing pill in the previous month. It was enough for him to use for alchemy for a day.
Because it was in the mysterious space, the materials used for alchemy would not really be consumed, so in theory, he only needed to prepare 1 set of alchemy materials to refine elixir endlessly. However, he was always cautious and prepared 5 sets of alchemy materials.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed. He changed his gesture and launched a symbol at the silver cauldron.
The silver spirit patterns on the surface of the cauldron suddenly flashed. With a rumbling sound, the cauldron cover slowly opened.
He waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind blew past. The alchemy materials on the ground were rolled into the cauldron.
He gently stroked the cauldron cover, and the cauldron cover slowly closed.
After doing all this, Liu Ming sat cross-legged, chanted, and kept making gestures. Waves of symbols were constantly poured into the silver cauldron.
After the cauldron trembled slightly, the crimson flame below burned and wrapped the silver cauldron.
The next day.
There was a sudden "bang" in the silver cauldron, then a burnt smell floated out of the cauldron.
Liu Ming frowned slightly. He stopped his gesture and took out a group of black material residue from the cauldron. He then took out a pale yellow talisman from his sleeve, crushed it, poured the materials into the cauldron, and began the second alchemy.
…
One day after a month, when Liu Ming took out a group of black residue from the silver cauldron in front of him again, he couldn't help frowning.
This was already the thirtieth time to refine this cold condensing pill. He didn't even succeed in the first thirty times. He didn't even refine one elixir with the lowest purity.
He thought he was a little careful in alchemy, but he couldn't help but sigh softly. It seemed that the difficulty of refining the Condensation Period elixir was really higher than the Spirit Apostle Period elixir.
He got up and stretched his muscles, and after observing the cultivation of Bone Scorpion and Demon Flying Skull, he sat cross-legged again and continued to refine elixir.
…
Another month passed. Liu Ming was still sitting in front of the cauldron, concentrating on controlling the cauldron fire. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Three months later, Liu Ming looked at a cauldron that exuded a burnt smell of elixir, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Six months …
Time flies, a year passed in a blink of an eye.
In the mysterious space, Liu Ming was still sitting cross-legged in front of the silver cauldron, looking at a silver elixir in front of him. A hint of joy finally appeared on his face.
This cold condensing pill was the only success that Liu Ming had tried hundreds of times in the past year. This was thanks to his previous experience in alchemy.
After a little appraisal with a simple mystic art recorded in the ancient book, the purity of this first cold condensing pill was only 30%. It could only be regarded as an inferior elixir that could barely be considered as a pill.
Although it was only an elixir with 30% purity, it had greatly improved Liu Ming's confidence.
For ordinary people, let alone facing hundreds of repeated failures, even if they faced dozens of failures, many people would have already given up due to collapse of confidence.
He immediately put the pill into the jade box that had been prepared on the side, then he crushed a storage amulet, took out the materials, and put them into the silver cauldron in front of him. He began to concentrate on refining the elixir again.
Since he had already succeeded for the first time, Liu Ming believed that the next time he refined elixir, it wouldn't be too long.
