In order not to attract attention, he did not disturb Lady Jiu. Instead, he used the remaining 4 million to buy Celestial Pill materials and a good cauldron of alchemy furnace.
Coupled with the materials he had obtained before, he now had almost six sets. To ensure that nothing went wrong, he took out two One Mark Celestial Pills and exchanged them for four sets, almost buying all the remaining Celestial Pill materials from the Lin Clan.
"Ten sets of materials should be enough."
After returning home, he gave the remaining two Celestial Pills to Cheng Qiaoqing and her sister.
The Cheng Clan's sister and brother had paid a lot for him during this period, so the two pills were a token of his appreciation. Cheng Qiaoqing also did not refuse.
Night came quietly, and after chatting with Cheng Qiaoqing for a while, Zhou Yang returned to his room.
According to Cheng Qiaoqing, on the third day of the genius battle, except for the Fenghua Platform and the Rising Sun Platform, the other four platforms began to attack each other.
Golden Blade City against County City, Luo City against Border City!
To Zhou Yang's surprise, the Border City's champion today was occupied by Lone Wolf, who came to ask for a blade yesterday.
Moreover, the Border City's champion, who was defeated by Lone Wolf, was Xiong Ziyi.
In addition, the County City's and Golden Blade City's arenas were also very lively. After four rounds, both sides held on to their respective arenas. Currently, the champion of the County City was Song Tianzong.
However, Cheng Qiaoqing told him that Song Tianzong was seriously injured in today's final battle and might not be able to fight again tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happened, Golden Blade City would take advantage of the situation tomorrow. However, it was also possible that the County City would send its own people to challenge Song Tianzong and then replace him. This way, they would not lose a single treasure.
This was a common tactic in the genius battle of the six cities, but this tactic could only be used when someone was injured. If the champion was not seriously injured and took the initiative to admit defeat and give up his position to someone from the same city, it would be considered a violation of the rules.
The reason was very simple. If this method worked, then as long as one challenged their own people, the champion would always be their own people. People from other cities would not even have a chance to fight.
After pondering for a moment, he took out the newly bought Pill Furnace.
Pill Furnaces were very important to Alchemists. Although he could buy Grade 1 medicinal pills in ordinary material stores, he could not buy Pill Furnaces for Grade 2 or even Grade 3 medicinal pills in ordinary stores.
After checking the pill furnace and finding that there were no problems, he did not rush to start refining the pill. Instead, he took out the powder of the 3-mark Celestial Pill that Murong Zhenjie had crushed today.
This thing might be useless to others, because as long as the overall structure of the pill was destroyed, the medicinal effect would be gone. But to him, it was a good thing.
"Unlimited astral souls!"
With a low roar, boundless Astral Souls appeared behind him. After which, a gigantic suction force appeared in his hands, instantly absorbing all the medicinal powder.
In the next instant, numerous pill seals appeared within the whirlpool of his Astral Souls. At the same time, Zhou Yang's mind replayed the entire process of refining the 3-runes Celestial Pill.
"So that's how it is …"
With a faint smile, Zhou Yang opened the cauldron and placed the ingredients into it.
A Three Mark Celestial Pill had the same materials as a One Mark Celestial Pill. However, there was a big difference in the refining method. From the Three Mark Celestial Pill refined by Murong Zhenjie, Ning Cheng understood that if he wanted to refine a Three Mark Celestial Pill, he would first need to have a higher temperature and a more intense flame.
Secondly, the time required to refine a Three Mark Celestial Pill was very long, almost taking up half of the time. As a result, the speed of dissolution, fusion, and refinement had to be doubled.
At the same time, although there were still four types of pill seals required for a Three Mark Celestial Pill, there was an additional set of pill seals. Moreover, they had to be integrated into the pill during the process of refining.
This was the difference between a One Mark Celestial Pill and a Three Mark Celestial Pill.
After straightening out the entire process, he recalled Murong Zhenjie's refining process and then began to imitate Murong Zhenjie's refining process.
Starting a fire and putting in the ingredients, Ning Cheng found that the flame was twice as strong as when refining a One Mark Celestial Pill.
The speed of dissolution began to accelerate. At the same time, Zhou Yang also accelerated the delivery of True Qi to control the speed of fusion of the ingredients. Finally, he increased the intensity of the refinement process.
Although it was his first time imitating the process, he did not encounter any accidents in the first three steps. When it came to the fourth step, the condensation and printing, although there were some problems during the process, it did not have much of an impact.
The fifth step, Pill Storage.
Because the time required to refine the pill was relatively long, it gave him enough time to condense the pill seals.
The fifth step was also completed smoothly.
From the beginning to the end of the pill storage, the whole process took a total of two hours. It went so smoothly that Zhou Yang felt a little surprised.
"Rumble …"
NZ Kanzō Kanzō Kanzō Kanzō
A moment later, starlight flashed within the pill furnace and the lid began to shake.
"Pill formation!"
Overjoyed, Zhou Yang slapped his palm on the pill furnace. However, at that moment, there was an explosion within the furnace. Following that, thick black smoke billowed out.
Failed …
"How could this be …"
Zhou Yang frowned. All the steps had been done perfectly, but the final result was like this.
Thinking of this, he immediately tried again, but the result was exactly the same.
Two portions of materials were wasted just like that.
The two failures made him realize that it wasn't that the refining method was wrong, but that he didn't understand the profoundness behind it.
But Murong Zhenjie had clearly succeeded …
After thinking for a whole hour, Zhou Yang still couldn't figure out the reason.
"If I can't refine a Three Mark Celestial Pill, then I will refine a Two Mark Celestial Pill."
In the end, he decided not to refine the three veins, but to start from the two veins.
Although the Infinite Star Souls didn't devour the two veins Celestial Pill, combined with the process of refining the one veins Celestial Pill and Murong Zhenjie's three veins Celestial Pill, he wasn't completely without confidence.
"Murong Zhenjie's refining method shouldn't be wrong. The reason why I can't refine it is that the timing is not accurate enough. A three veins Celestial Pill should have a high time requirement, but a two veins Celestial Pill doesn't need to. As long as I lower the requirements for a three veins Celestial Pill, I can refine a two veins Celestial Pill."
Thinking of this, he started refining again. The first time, he tried to lower the temperature of the flame and shorten the time required to refine the pill, but the result was a failure.
This was also within his expectations, as he was trying again.
The second time, he didn't lower the temperature of the flame, but instead, he didn't inject the pill seal during the pill storage. Unfortunately, he still failed.
For the third time, he simply increased the time required to refine the pill, and the rest was exactly the same as when he refined the one veins Celestial Pill.
The result this time was very surprising.
The pill came out, and it was indeed two veins.
However, the pill was indeed damaged irregularly.
This wasn't a success, only half of it.
