A Different Pill
As soon as the dregs left his mouth, the Spirit Qi dispersed.
As an Intermediate Pill Refiner, he did not absorb the Spirit Qi, but dispersed it completely. After all, no matter who it was, long term consumption of Spirit Qi would leave behind unimaginable side effects. This kind of secret technique was practiced by all Intermediate Pill Refiners.
"This pill is called the Three Leaf Qi Gathering Pill. It's a third grade Spirit Rank pill. It has less impurities than a normal Three Leaf Qi Gathering Pill, so it's a grade higher. It's made from the three most common spirit herbs, and a little spirit liquid was added to nourish it. This method is extremely ingenious. It's not too much, and it's evenly distributed. It should be carefully soaked in the spirit liquid before refining …"
After a round of praise, Cheng Qi's face was rosy, and the corners of his mouth revealed a proud smile. The people around him also complimented him.
Soon after, Elder Niu pressed his hands down and said in a deep voice: "This pill should be the Three Leaf Qi Gathering Pill. It should be considered impeccable."
This was an extremely high evaluation, and many people believed that the Three Leaf Qi Gathering Pill could only be refined to this level.
Only Long Chen, after hearing his words, couldn't help but chuckle.
This chuckle immediately made Elder Niu frown, and he asked seriously: "Is there a mistake in my evaluation? If you have any objections, I can find a few more Intermediate Pill Refiners to examine … "
Elder Niu only wanted to reexamine Long Chen's expression, and from this, it could be seen that he was meticulous.
Long Chen also felt a bit of respect for him out of nowhere. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't continue to evaluate the two pills after seeing them.
"Elder Niu's words are not wrong at all, but … there are some things that you did not say. Although this method can increase the grade of the pill, the value of the Spirit Qi Gathering Liquid is not taken into account. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is forcefully increasing the grade."
"Of course, this method of reaching the third grade of Spirit Qi Gathering Pill is not wrong. On the contrary, although the impurities have decreased, the Spirit Qi has also decreased. This can be considered as both gains and losses."
Long Chen's words slowly came out, but Elder Niu's face suddenly shook. He looked deeply at Long Chen, and then shook his head: "What you said is true, but this method of refining will naturally have some impurities, and these impurities cannot be avoided, so I did not say …"
"Even so, I cannot deny that this Dan is far superior to the average Qi Gathering Dan."
Elder Niu was magnanimous and spoke of his own thoughts. The contempt he had for Long Chen in his heart lessened a little. He secretly thought that Long Chen's understanding of the path of alchemy was not low. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to see through the flaws within just by relying on his words.
However, Long Chen chuckled and shook his head again. He did not comment and only made a gesture of invitation to Elder Niu to evaluate the cracking elixir refined by Liu Yiyi.
Although everyone was surprised that Long Chen actually had a good eye for medicinal pills, they didn't care. After all, as Elder Niu had said, increasing the grade of the Three-Leaf Qi Gathering Pill with the Spirit Liquid was already the limit. Liu Yiyi didn't add anything to this medicinal pill that she refined. Instead, she reduced the proportion of the Thousand Leaf Lotus.
Elder Niu also frowned slightly. He still didn't believe that the effect of this seemingly useless pill would be better than a third grade spirit rank Qi Gathering Pill.
However, he still frowned and put the elixir into his mouth …
As he put the elixir into his mouth, Cheng Qi and the people around all sneered at Long Chen. They even made way for him and were ready to directly call for people to cripple his cultivation and throw him out.
Only Liu Yiyi stared at Elder Niu with a hopeful expression.
Buzz!
Right at this moment, Elder Niu's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide. His face was flushed and the sound of his breathing became heavier.
Then, they saw him directly sit down cross-legged!
"…"
"…"
What, what was going on? For a moment, everyone was stunned on the spot and looked at each other.
However, very quickly, someone saw that Elder Niu was actually breaking through!
Elder Niu, who was in the Soul Formation Stage, was actually on the verge of breaking through. This was simply unbelievable. Seeing this, everyone didn't even dare to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing him.
Long Chen was also stunned. He secretly thought that although the effect of the crack elixir was much better than the elixir refined with ordinary methods, it shouldn't be enough to make a Soul Formation Stage cultivator break through his current realm.
While he was puzzled, Long Chen's divine sense immediately tilted out. Although Elder Niu had already stepped into the Soul Formation Stage and his divine sense had just formed and condensed into a Sea of Qi, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to his divine sense. Therefore, he couldn't detect the existence of his divine sense at all.
"I see …"
After some investigation, Long Chen found out why the old man was breaking through. The reason was actually this crack elixir.
It turned out that the old man's reputation was outside, and he had appraised many high-grade elixirs. Although he used a secret method to disperse the impurities and spiritual energy, there was still a little left in his body, causing the meridian wall above his Dantian to be much thicker from his throat.
This made this part of his meridian very sensitive. Once spiritual energy passed through, it would rapidly close and the medicinal properties of ordinary elixirs would be completely unable to pass through. It even created a shackle on his cultivation.
However, the crack elixir refined by Liu Yiyi was very different from the elixirs Elder Niu had taken in the past. Whether it was the effect or the impurities, it was different. Therefore, it didn't cause any resistance to his meridian and directly rushed into his already overflowing Sea of Qi …
That was why this pill had become the final step.
In fact, if Elder Niu's situation happened to an ordinary person, it would be more serious. Once it appeared, they would have to take a purer or completely different elixir.
Buzz!
At this moment, a wave of air suddenly spread out from Elder Niu's surroundings. His eyes flashed like lightning, causing the surrounding Spirit Stage alchemists to involuntarily take a few steps back. They only felt a pressure coming from their souls.
Only Long Chen was still smiling faintly as he looked at Elder Niu and Liu Yiyi behind him without taking a step back.
At this moment, Elder Niu's divine sense increased explosively. His Sea of Qi had once again condensed to 100 feet!
Once the Sea of Qi was completely condensed and completely condensed, one could condense a Golden Core … Of course, depending on one's aptitude, the size of one's Sea of Qi differed greatly.
The wider the Sea of Qi, the stronger one's strength would be. However, condensing a Golden Core would also be more difficult. Elder Niu's Sea of Qi was only 300 feet, but in his previous life, Long Chen's Sea of Qi was vast and boundless!
"Once I condense the strength of 36 Dracophants and open up the unprecedented 36 major acupoints, coupled with my current Sovereign level divine sense, what kind of scene would it be when I step into the Soul Formation Stage …" Long Chen thought to himself.
On the other side, as soon as Elder Niu woke up, everyone immediately went up to him. After a round of congratulations, everyone hurriedly asked Long Chen about the elixir. Was it a waste elixir?
As for Elder Niu's breakthrough, no one connected it to a waste elixir. They just thought that the timing of the breakthrough was coincidentally the same as the refining of the elixir.
"Everyone shut up!"
