"Human Tier Grade 4 Soul Nurturing Grass, Human Tier Grade 3 Moon Flower, Human Tier Grade 3 Green Jade Lotus …" Dozens of medicinal ingredients were carefully selected by Wang Kai from the mountain of natural treasures. Soon after, they were gently placed on an exquisite circular jade plate.
"Let's begin! Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron, out! "
With a thought from Wang Kai, purple soul power gathered in front of him. In the next moment, the ancient Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron appeared in front of him. Immediately, his soul power surged and the fourth red soul ring behind him lit up!
"Three Thousand Heaven-Burning Flames!"
A wisp of purplish-black flame with a strange luster appeared on the tip of Wang Kai's right middle finger. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Three Thousand Heaven-Burning Flames entered the Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron.
Pill furnaces and pill fires were undoubtedly the most important hardware for an alchemist! If an alchemist wanted to refine top-grade pills, he had to have the help of a top-grade pill furnace and a top-grade pill fire!
For Wang Kai, his Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron was a divine artifact made from a trace of primordial energy born in the universe and combined with ninety-nine types of rare divine treasures. Naturally, it could be used as the perfect pill furnace. In addition, the Three Thousand Heaven-Burning Flames he used to refine pills were also the rare flames of heaven and earth that countless alchemists dreamed of. With the two together, Wang Kai was undoubtedly like a tiger that had grown wings when refining pills, as if he had the help of a god.
Feeling that the Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron had reached the perfect temperature, Wang Kai waved his right arm and sent a streak of soul power towards the jade plate. In the next moment, a stalk of Soul Nurturing Grass was wrapped by Wang Kai's soul power and flew up from the jade plate, immediately arriving above the Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron.
Soul Nurturing Grass was a strange herb that grew in places with extreme yin and humidity. It was incomparably precious. For Soul Nurturing Grass, just by smelling its fragrance, it had a miraculous effect of refreshing the mind. If one could consume the entire stalk, it could even increase a soul master's spiritual power. It was also the main ingredient for refining Soul Nurturing Pills.
On the Douluo Continent, Soul Nurturing Herbs were almost extinct. Even in the Angel Realm, where the concentration of soul power was far higher than on the Douluo Continent, Wang Kai only managed to find five stalks of Soul Nurturing Herbs, which were enough for him to refine five cauldrons of Soul Nurturing Pills.
As soon as the Soul Nurturing Grass approached the Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron, it began to melt gradually. Under the control of Wang Kai's spiritual power, in less than a minute, the Soul Nurturing Grass was calcined into a ball of dark green medicinal liquid the size of half a fist. It slowly rolled in the flames, constantly bubbling and reflecting a faint luster.
This was the first step of refining medicinal pills, refining and purifying the medicinal ingredients. However, Wang Kai had only completed half of the first step — refining. If he wanted to refine a truly high-quality medicinal pill, he had to refine the heavenly and earthly treasures that had been refined, removing the impurities that were harmful to the human body. Generally speaking, the greater the purification, the fewer impurities the final medicinal pill would have, and the better the medicinal effect after consumption.
Wang Kai was fully focused on controlling the temperature of the flames in the Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron. At this critical moment of refining the medicinal liquid, the temperature of the flames could not be wrong. Otherwise, the medicinal effect would be lost, and if it was serious, the precious medicinal liquid might be completely burned.
After a few more minutes, some black impurities suddenly appeared in the dark green liquid refined from the Soul Nurturing Grass. Looking at these impurities, Wang Kai nodded slightly. With a light tap of his finger, the impurities in the medicinal liquid began to gather under the control of his spiritual power and were separated from the medicinal liquid. After removing the impurities, the remaining medicinal liquid appeared even more pure and beautiful.
"It's about time." After a few more minutes, after observing that there were no more black impurities in the medicinal liquid, Wang Kai nodded in satisfaction. At this time, the dark green medicinal liquid that was originally the size of half a fist had been purified to the size of a ping pong ball, but its color had become deeper and more breathtaking.
"Next!"
After refining the Soul Nurturing Grass, Wang Kai tapped his finger lightly and the medicinal liquid formed from the Soul Nurturing Grass floated above the Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron. Then, with a thought, four strands of soul power took the four medicinal ingredients onto the Chaotic Mountain and River Cauldron.
After becoming a Soul King, Wang Kai's spiritual power had already reached the realm of doing five things at once. Therefore, when refining pills, other than having to split a strand of his consciousness to control the Three Thousand Heaven-Burning Flames, his remaining four strands of consciousness could actually refine the four medicinal ingredients at the same time.
However, Wang Kai only had a total of five Soul Nurturing Grass, and the difficulty of refining the Soul Nurturing Grass was relatively high. He could not be careless at all. Therefore, he focused on refining and refining the Soul Nurturing Grass just now.
But now, Wang Kai had a plentiful amount of the other Heavenly Treasures needed for the Soul Nourishing Pill, and it wasn't difficult to process them. In order to save time, Wang Kai naturally chose to process these Heavenly Treasures in parallel.
Moonflower, Green Jade Lotus, Purple Feather Ganoderma … dozens of medicinal ingredients were melted by the Three Thousand Heaven-Burning Flames in front of Wang Kai, forming dozens of medicinal liquid balls of different colors and sizes that floated in the air. They were multicolored and looked extremely beautiful.
"Then it's time to start the second step — mixing the medicinal liquid!" Looking at the medicinal ingredients that had already been refined and purified, Wang Kai nodded in satisfaction. Then, with a slight movement of his soul power, the dark green medicinal liquid formed from the Soul Nurturing Grass floated to the center of the cauldron.
The medicinal liquid formed after mixing the medicinal ingredients to form the medicinal liquid was the second step of refining pills, and also the most crucial step. After successfully refining and purifying the natural treasure into medicinal liquid, the alchemist still had to mix the appropriate amount of medicinal liquid with each other under the right temperature and perfect timing. Only in this way could the embryonic form of the medicinal pill be obtained – the medicinal liquid.
Compared to the first step, the second step of refining pills was undoubtedly more difficult. This was because it required the alchemist to have a strong spiritual force and a long period of practice. Only then would they be able to find the perfect time to mix the medicinal liquid.
Therefore, according to the description in the 《Introduction to the Dao of Alchemy》, the majority of alchemy apprentices only needed one or two years to grasp the method of refining and refining medicinal ingredients. However, if they wanted to master the technique of mixing medicinal liquid, they might need several years or even ten years of immersion!
Compared to the average alchemist, Wang Kai naturally didn't have that much time to practice. However, he had already exchanged for the 《Introduction to the Dao of Alchemy》 and the 《True Explanation of Alchemy》, two inheritances, and had a very deep theoretical understanding of alchemy. Apart from this, he also had the assistance of a cheat — Xiao Guang!
To the average alchemist, their alchemy relied more on the experience gained through long periods of practice. Even alchemy grandmasters were no exception. However, Xiao Guang could quantify the time and amount of medicinal liquid to mix, truly finding the most perfect timing and proportion!
"Xiao Guang, activate the alchemy support mode!" Wang Kai silently commanded in his heart. Shortly after, his soul power moved, and the dark green medicinal liquid formed from the Green Jade Lotus slowly approached the dark green medicinal liquid formed from the Soul Nurturing Grass.
