Long Yu's life of pill refinement began.
During the day, he learned pill refinement from Pine Crane Tree. He learned all sorts of knowledge about herbs, distinguishing the habits of various herbs, and practiced separating and fusing different attributes of medicinal properties.
At night, he comprehended the Lunar Heavenly Tablet with Liu Yuan for a period of time, then rested and continued the next day, repeating such a life.
His understanding of alchemy was improving by leaps and bounds, which surprised Pine Crane a little.
For ordinary martial cultivators to refine their first pill, they would need several months of theoretical knowledge, practicing separating and fusing medicinal properties, etc.
However, Long Yu managed to refine a Mortal Grade Upper Grade Pill in a mere week!
Although it was only Mortal Grade High Grade, Pine Crane Tree praised him endlessly. He clearly did not feel that Long Yu had a Pill Heart, but he could indeed refine pills and see medicinal properties. It could be said to be the greatest wonder in the world.
Pine Crane Tree naturally did not know that Long Yu had the Nine Underworld Dragon Mark on his chest.
Autumn passed and winter came, winter passed and spring came.
Half a year passed in a flash.
At this time, the remaining half of the Lunar Heavenly Tablet finally shrunk to the size of a fist under the joint comprehension of Long Yu and Liu Yuan.
As long as they finished absorbing this fist-sized Lunar Heavenly Tablet, their comprehension of the laws of moon would reach the level of Domain!
During this time, Long Yu refined all sorts of pills, ranging from Mortal Grade to Spirit Grade, with the highest reaching Spirit Grade High Grade, to Pine Crane Tree's satisfaction.
Long Yu would usually refine two or three of each pill for himself and Liu Yuan to consume.
In this half a year, the two of them each consumed dozens of pills, and Liu Yuan finally stepped into the fifth level of the True Spirit Secret Realm.
Ever since Long Yu entered a wondrous state that night in the valley and stepped into the sixth level of the True Spirit Secret Realm, his progress had been extremely slow.
Wanting to break through the bottleneck and reach the realm of True Spirit as One was definitely not a simple matter.
Even though Long Yu consumed many pills, it was just a drop in the bucket for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy he needed to advance.
If he wanted to advance quickly, the only way was to consume various kinds of Profound Grade Pills. However, it was still very difficult for him to refine Profound Grade Pills.
The most fundamental reason, of course, was the lack of materials.
Alchemy, of course, could directly turn the materials into elixirs, increasing the efficiency of direct consumption, but finding the materials was not a simple matter.
Finally, on this day, Duskcrane Pine went out to gather medicinal herbs and brought back three Heaven Flower Vermillion Fruits!
This made Long Yu's eyes light up.
"Elder Xi, can the Heaven Flower Vermillion Fruit be used together with the Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass to refine the Profound Grade Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill?"
The Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass that Long Yu had previously obtained in the Hidden Bone Abyss finally came in handy.
"Indeed, but the Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass is extremely rare. At the very least, it cannot be found in this Passionless Mountain Range."
Pine Crane said casually.
"Then, can Elder Xi refine the Heavenly Flower Water Spirit Pill for me?"
Long Yu took out the remaining three stalks of Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass from the Nine Nether Space!
Speaking of which, it was strange. These three stalks of Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass had clearly been harvested for more than half a year, but now they looked as if they had just been harvested. It seemed like this Nine Nether Space still had the ability to preserve the freshness of medicinal herbs.
This made Long Yu quite surprised.
After all, if the Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass was not fresh, its medicinal properties would inevitably be lost. Wanting to successfully refine a Profound Grade Pill would be quite difficult.
Three stalks of Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass!
"What a coincidence!"
Pine Crane's eyes lit up. He never thought that he would obtain three stalks of Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass after just bringing back three Heaven Flower Vermillion Fruits. This was simply a heaven-sent opportunity!
Moreover, these three stalks of Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass were so fresh, as if they had just been harvested.
This made Pine Crane Pine realize that Long Yu definitely had a very high grade Space Weapon on him. Otherwise, it was impossible to preserve these three stalks of Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass so well!
"I can refine three Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pills, just nice for each of you."
Pine Crane Pine was pleasantly surprised and immediately prepared to refine the pills.
The Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill was a High Grade Profound Grade Pill. It was extremely difficult to refine, but to Pine Crane Pine, it was not too difficult. After all, he had refined higher grade pills before.
These three pills could be said to be something that could not be bought with money, and were extremely precious to Pine Crane Pine.
If the refinement was successful, his granddaughter, Xi Yangwu, would definitely be able to step into Lv 5 of the True Spirit Realm, and was not far from Lv 6!
Because of Pine Crane Pine's identity as an Alchemist, Xi Yangwu had already reached the same Martial Dao realm as Liu Yuan, even though she was only 14 years old. It could not be denied that the power of pills was endless.
Moreover, Xi Yangwu's Martial Dao talent was not bad. With the help of enough pills, the speed of her Martial Dao realm would naturally be extraordinary.
However, most of the pills that Pine Crane Pine could refine had already been used by Xi Yangwu. If she wanted to improve, she could only refine some rarer pills.
The Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill was one of them.
As the medicinal properties of pills were divided into the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, for a Martial Cultivator, taking pills to improve their Martial Dao realm was usually the limit of the Sixth True Spirit Realm.
After that, even if one took different pills, the medicinal properties would still be composed of the five elements, so the effect would be reduced.
Further up, it was mainly up to the Martial Cultivator themselves.
However, some high grade pills were not in this category, because the medicinal properties of these pills were very strong. Even if the effect was reduced, it was still very obvious to the Martial Cultivator.
The Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill was one of them.
If this High Grade Profound Grade Pill was taken out, even the experts of the Heavenly Realm would fight for it. In terms of value, it could not be bought without at least 50 Crystal Cores, and most of the time, there was no market for it.
The Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass and the Heaven Flower Vermillion Fruit were too rare!
Moreover, alchemists who could refine the Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill were very rare in the entire Heavenly Mandate Continent. One had to at least reach the Seventh True Spirit Realm to successfully refine the Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill.
For example, Elder Bai of the Zhentian Clan, who could refine the Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill with the Heaven Heart Dragon Grass, had to rely on the help of a group of people.
Pine Crane quickly went out to look for other supplementary medicinal materials to refine the Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill.
As for Long Yu, he could only watch the process from the sidelines.
In the past six months, one of his greatest enjoyment could be said to be the culinary skills of the young lady, Xi Yangwu. Although she was young, the dishes she made were infinitely delicious. Be it the old man, Long Yu, or Liu Yuan, they all praised her incessantly.
As for Xi Yangwu, she gradually changed from being quiet at the beginning to a cheerful person.
In the past, it had always been her and Pine Crane living here, and their days were very boring. But now, with Long Yu and Liu Yuan around, she felt a lot of joy.
It had to be said that the young lady was very cute when she smiled. In terms of appearance, she definitely did not lose to Liu Yuan. It was just that she was still young, and her figure had not been revealed yet …
Of course, Long Yu would not have any thoughts about this young lady.
As for Liu Yuan, the two of them had gone through many things together, and now that they were together day and night, they had developed a kind of tacit understanding.
Now that the two of them were working together, no matter what they did, it could be said that they had a tacit understanding!
The Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill was quickly refined by Pine Crane. There were a total of three pills, and he gave one each to Long Yu, Liu Yuan, and Xi Yangwu.
That night, the three of them took the pills respectively. Xi Yangwu stepped into the Fifth True Spirit Realm in one go, and Liu Yuan also stepped into the Sixth True Spirit Realm in one go!
Only Long Yu did not increase his Martial Dao Realm even after taking the Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill.
There was a huge bottleneck in order to break through to the Unity of True Spirit Realm. This bottleneck was extremely difficult for any Martial Cultivator to break through.
One had to know that the Unity of True Spirit was the foundation of Unity of Heaven and Man. Only by achieving Unity of True Spirit could one step into the Unity of Heaven and Man realm!
As for Unity of True Spirit, it meant that the True Spirit had completely merged with the Heavens and Earth, and could borrow the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth.
"The nearest big city in the Passionless Mountain Range, Soldier Death City, is hundreds of miles away."
After everyone took the Heaven Flower Water Spirit Pill, Pine Crane gave a list of herbs to Long Yu. "Go to Soldier Death City and buy some of these herbs for me."
Long Yu took a look at the list of herbs and discovered that each of the herbs on the list was no less precious than the Fluorescent Water Spirit Grass and the Heaven Flower Vermillion Fruit!
"What kind of elixir is this?"
Long Yu jumped in fright.
"An Empyrean Secret Elixir."
Pine Crane smiled. "Although I'm old, I still want to step into the Empyrean Realm one day and reach that legendary level! The reason why I brought Xiao Wu to the Northern Sea Border City is because I heard that a rare herb had appeared there, so I went to buy it … "
Long Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
An Empyrean Secret Elixir!
Just from the name, one could tell that this elixir was used to help Martial Cultivators step into the Empyrean Realm. One could imagine the value of such a elixir. It would probably be difficult to buy even with thousands of Crystal Cores!
Not only was it difficult to refine, but it also required sixteen main herbs, each of which was worth more than fifty Crystal Cores. Furthermore, they were extremely rare.
"This old man is over seventy years old. In fact, when I was in my fifties, I had already stepped into the ninth-layer True Spirit Realm … Now that more than twenty years have passed, I've finally gathered most of the ingredients for the Empyrean Pill. I'm only missing these three."
Pine Crane pointed at the list of herbs he passed to Long Yu. "Recently, I heard that two of these herbs had appeared in Soldier Death City. Go and buy them for me."
"Why me?"
Long Yu was somewhat puzzled.
"Because I've planted the last herb in the Passionless Mountain Range twenty years ago. Now, I have to pick it myself. However, it's dangerous to go there, so I have to go there myself …"
