In the end, Chu Mu obtained 1,200 contribution points. The news that Chu Mu was not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also in alchemy and sword forging spread like wildfire. There were even people who said that Chu Mu was proficient in the Dao of Sealing.
Swordsmanship, alchemy, sword forging, and sealing were the four Great Daos of the swordsman's world. Anyone who was proficient in any one of them would benefit immensely, but they would also need to spend a lot of energy in it.
Those who were proficient in two Daos were usually geniuses among geniuses. Because of their extraordinary talent, they could divide their attention into two Daos in a limited amount of time. As for those who were proficient in three Daos, they were peerless geniuses. At the very least, there would only be one of them every many years. As for being proficient in four Great Daos, that was impossible. Because everyone had limited time, there were twenty-four hours in a day. They had to cultivate swordsmanship, sword origin, sword intent, and so on. They also had to rest, which took up almost all of the twenty-four hours.
There were more and more discussions about Chu Mu, but most people believed that it was impossible for Chu Mu to be proficient in four Great Daos. Even the fact that he was proficient in swordsmanship and alchemy and sword forging were fabricated.
While many people were discussing Chu Mu, Chu Mu was in the alchemy room of the Outer Palace, refining elixirs.
1,200 contribution points was a huge sum for a new disciple. It was also a lot for many old disciples. If he wanted to buy Ice Strength Elixirs, he could buy a lot of them.
However, the Ice Strength Elixirs exchanged in the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace were of normal and excellent quality. A normal quality Ice Strength Elixir cost five contribution points, while an excellent quality Ice Strength Elixir cost ten contribution points.
A normal quality Ice Strength Elixir could only support a swordsman within two hundred miles of the Geocentric Fire Valley and reduce the high temperature by thirty percent. As for an excellent quality Ice Strength Elixir, it could reduce the high temperature by forty percent within three hundred miles of the Geocentric Fire Valley. The difference was very obvious, and the duration was two hours.
If it was a flawless quality Ice Strength Elixir, the effect would naturally be better. However, the Outer Palace did not exchange for it.
Chu Mu gave up on directly exchanging for the Ice Strength Pill. Instead, he used six hundred contribution points to exchange for the Ice Strength Pill's formula. Then, he used five hundred contribution points to exchange for twenty sets of medicinal ingredients to refine the Ice Strength Pill. Finally, he used the last one hundred contribution points to rent a high-grade alchemy room in the Outer Palace for two days.
Following that, Chu Mu began to refine the Ice Strength Pill.
First, he had to familiarize himself with the pill formula and master it. The Ice Strength Pill was an eighth-grade pill, and it was not easy to concoct. There were only twenty sets of ingredients, and Chu Mu did not dare to be careless.
After grasping the pill formula, Chu Mu carefully identified the various medicinal ingredients and verified them one by one with the inheritance in his memory. Suddenly, the various characteristics of these medicinal ingredients appeared clearly one after another.
Everything was ready and the furnace was heated.
The alchemy room in the Outer Palace was of a lower level than that of the Inner Palace, but the Elixir Furnace used was no small matter. It was of a higher level than the Cloud Tripod Furnace used by Chu Mu in the Small Elixir House in Border City, and the carbon used was also of a higher level.
After fifteen minutes, the furnace was heated. Chu Mu paid attention to throwing in the medicinal ingredients and extracting the essence of the medicinal ingredients.
He was fully focused and confident. With the help of his mental strength, the process was somewhat difficult, but it was completed smoothly.
More than ten sets of medicinal ingredients' essence were extracted by Chu Mu to eighty percent purity. He began to throw them into the furnace one by one to refine the pill.
This was Chu Mu's first time refining pills after entering the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, and it was also his first time refining the Ice Strength Pill.
He used basic alchemy techniques to control the temperature and distribution inside the furnace. His mental strength also played a role in the medicinal ingredients' essence, allowing the medicinal ingredients' essence to fuse faster and more thoroughly.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Chu Mu exhaled. The medicinal ingredients' essence had been completely fused, and the pill was already in the process of being formed.
He opened the lid of the furnace, and a strong medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air. At the same time, there was a refreshing cold feeling, causing the temperature around the furnace to drop.
Following that, Chu Mu collected the Ice Strength Pills. There were a total of twelve pills, and the number of pills formed could be considered a joyous occasion. After all, this was only Chu Mu's first time refining a Grade Eight pill. However, he had previously refined Grade Nine pills that were even higher than Grade Eight pills.
Twelve Ice Strength Pills, all of which were of excellent quality. It was not bad.
With the experience from the first time, Chu Mu continued to extract the medicinal ingredients' essence. This time, he was not in a hurry to refine the Ice Strength Pill. Instead, he extracted the remaining nineteen sets of medicinal ingredients' essence one by one. Every extraction combined with the previous experience, he strived to do a better job.
When he extracted the eleventh set of medicinal ingredients' essence, the purity of the medicinal ingredients' essence broke through the limit of eighty percent and reached ninety percent.
If there were no accidents, the medicinal ingredients' essence with ninety percent purity could be refined into flawless quality pills.
After resting for half an hour to recover his mental strength, Chu Mu heated up the furnace again and prepared to refine the pills.
For a monstrous genius like Chu Mu, every time he refined, he would be able to summarize the experience from the previous refinement, find out his shortcomings, and improve in the next refinement. Especially since he had inherited the Alchemy Grandmaster's memory, the effect of his improvement was even more obvious.
The second batch of pills was completed. The number of pills formed was also twelve, and they were of excellent quality. However, compared to the first batch of pills, the quality was better, and the color was better.
After a dozen breaths of time, Chu Mu recalled the refining process and began to refine the third batch of Ice Strength Pills.
The third batch was completed. The number of pills formed was twelve, and the quality was excellent.
The fourth batch was completed. The number of pills formed was twelve, and the quality was excellent.
The fifth batch was completed. The number of pills formed was twelve, and the quality was excellent.
The sixth batch was completed. The number of pills formed was twelve, and the quality was excellent.
The seventh batch was completed. The number of pills formed was twelve, and the quality was excellent.
The eighth batch was completed. The number of pills formed was thirteen, and the quality was excellent.
The ninth batch was completed. The number of pills formed was thirteen, and the quality was excellent.
The tenth batch was completed. The number of pills formed was thirteen, and the quality was excellent.
After refining ten batches of pills, Chu Mu was not in a hurry to refine the eleventh batch. Instead, he gave himself time to rest. Firstly, he needed to recover his physical strength and mental strength. Continuously refining Grade-8 pills was also very tiring. Secondly, he needed to reflect on the refining process of the previous ten batches of pills. He needed to find out the flaws and inadequacies and improve them.
After ten batches of pills, he had refined a total of one hundred and twenty-three Ice Strength Pills of excellent quality. If he used contribution points to exchange for them at the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, he would need one thousand two hundred and thirty contribution points.
No matter how you looked at it, Chu Mu had profited. He had only spent one day, and he had not only gained pills, but also improved his alchemy skills.
Next, there were still ten batches of medicinal herb essences waiting for Chu Mu to refine. Once all of them were refined, the total price would exceed two thousand contribution points. If others knew about this, they would be very envious of Chu Mu.
It sounded easy, but it was actually very difficult. First of all, one needed to have a high level of attainment in alchemy. Moreover, even if an Alchemy Grandmaster were to refine the Ice Strength Pills, it would be extremely difficult to refine flawless pills. In terms of the number of pills formed, it would be difficult to reach Chu Mu's level. Unless it was an even more talented Alchemy Grandmaster, after all, they were only a minority.
An hour passed, and Chu Mu's mental and physical strength recovered. His enlightenment was complete, and Chu Mu also knew how to refine more efficiently and better.
The eleventh batch of Ice Strength Pills began to be refined.
Under the fusion of medicinal herb essences with ninety percent purity, the final Ice Strength Pill was refined. Its quality was truly flawless, but the number of pills formed had decreased. There were only ten pills.
The Outer Palace did not exchange for flawless quality Ice Strength Pills. If there were, one pill would cost twenty contribution points. Ten Ice Strength Pills would be worth two hundred contribution points, or even more. After all, the Outer Palace did not exchange for them. Only Chu Mu had them.
Continuing to refine, the remaining nine batches of medicinal herb essences were refined into pills by Chu Mu one by one.
The number of Ice Strength Pills produced in each furnace was ten. The quality of each Ice Strength Pill was flawless. However, the quality of the Ice Strength Pill in the last furnace was a little higher than that of the eleventh furnace. The color of the Ice Strength Pill was rounder and fuller. The fragrance of the pill was also a little weaker.
A total of two hundred and twenty-three Ice Strength Pills were stored in porcelain bottles in groups of ten. After storing them in the Interspatial Ring, Chu Mu left the alchemy room.
In just two days of refining pills, he had fused more of the memories of the inheritance. His attainments in alchemy had also improved slightly.
"I wonder how effective the flawless quality Ice Strength Pills are?" After muttering to himself, Chu Mu took a short rest. He then left the Everlasting Sacred Mountain and headed towards the Earth's Core Fire Valley.
Currently, Bawang was still in the process of transformation. Chu Mu could only use his body movement to quickly descend the Everlasting Sacred Mountain and head towards the Earth's Core Fire Valley that was thousands of miles away.
Previously, he had come here with Pei Wushou and the other four. This time, Chu Mu wanted to enter the Earth's Core Fire Valley alone.
A few hours later, Chu Mu arrived at the Earth's Core Fire Valley. Without stopping, he directly entered the Earth's Core Fire Valley. Other than Chu Mu, there were also a few new disciples and senior disciples who entered the Earth's Core Fire Valley. When they saw that Chu Mu was alone, they were all stunned.
Chu Mu ignored their discussion and quickly went deeper. Soon, he arrived at the hundred mile depth where he had been before. The temperature here was not low, but it was still unable to have an obvious effect on Chu Mu. Therefore, Chu Mu did not immediately consume the Ice Strength Pill. Instead, he sped up and continued to go deeper.
One hundred and fifty miles!
The temperature here continued to rise and Chu Mu began to feel hot.
Two hundred miles!
The temperature was extremely high. The surroundings were red and the flames were blazing. From time to time, flames would jump out from the cracks on the ground and sway in the air.
Chu Mu felt his mouth and tongue dry. The temperature in his body rose and his blood seemed to be boiling. It was very uncomfortable. He quickly took out a flawless quality Ice Strength Pill and quickly swallowed it.
The medicinal power of the Ice Strength Pill spread out. An ice-cold air rose from his abdomen and quickly swept through his entire body. Immediately, Chu Mu felt that the scorching heat in his body had been dispelled by more than half. The dry mouth and the feeling of being on fire in his body had disappeared.
"Good, at least the temperature has been reduced by 50%. However, I wonder how many miles I can go into the Earth's Core Fire Valley?" Secretly happy, Chu Mu continued to move forward, heading deeper into the Earth's Core Fire Valley.
