Soulgate.
After Xiao Chen, Mu Qing, and the others returned to Soulgate, Xiao Chen planned to concoct pills.
While Xiao Chen was in a coma and cultivating for half a year, Little Tian and Ao Tian found a lot of precious herbs in the deepest part of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. They were all herbs that were found according to the prescriptions of the Purple Heart Life Pellet and the Nine Turns Tribulation Pellet. They were still looking for them and would come back every ten days.
"As my cultivation increases, the Heavenly Tribulation is getting closer and closer. I estimate that it will be in one or two months. I have to concoct the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill as soon as possible. Then, I will be relieved." Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
After a short pause, Xiao Chen continued, "I will leave the Purple Heart Life Pellet to Senior Hanyou to refine. I will refine the Nine Turns Tribulation Pellet. However, I do not have much of the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf, the main ingredient of the Nine Turns Tribulation Pellet."
Xiao Chen came to the forest behind the palace and found a random place. He took out the immortal artifact furnace left behind by Tyrant Soul and prepared to concoct pills.
"Concocting the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill requires the Seven Transformations Green Spirit Saliva Leaf, Purpleblood Lingzhi Mushroom, Extreme Cold Lingzhi Mushroom, Scarlet Spirit Fruit, Nine Coloured Snow Lotus Leaf …" Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he took out the medicinal ingredients. He needed a total of twelve different medicinal ingredients.
Not all the medicinal ingredients needed to concoct the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill were precious. The main ingredients were the Seven Transformations Green Spirit Saliva Leaf, Purpleblood Lingzhi Mushroom, Scarlet Spirit Fruit, and a few other medicinal ingredients. Among them, the most precious one was the Seven Transformations Green Spirit Saliva Leaf. It was not sold and was hard to find in the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Xiao Tian searched for half a year and only found two stalks. The other medicinal ingredients could be bought in the auction house.
This was Xiao Chen's first time concocting the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill. Therefore, he did not understand the degree of fire resistance of the various medicinal ingredients. He could only try to understand the degree of fire resistance of each medicinal ingredient. This way, he could increase the success rate of concocting the pill.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen's hand turned into a claw. With a muffled bang, a wisp of black flame appeared in his palm. With a wave of his hand, Xiao Chen shot the black flame into the pill furnace.
Xiao Chen naturally would not waste precious medicinal herbs. Therefore, he first placed the medicinal herbs that could be purchased at any time and place into the pill furnace and calcined them.
Xiao Chen pushed his true essence to the limit, his hands rapidly forming seals as he used an ancient alchemy technique. At the same time, he poured his soul force into the pill furnace. At this moment, the black flame suddenly became wild.
Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes and carefully observed the herbs. He had to understand the degree of fire exposure of each herb. Otherwise, if there was even the slightest mistake, all the herbs would be wasted.
Alchemy was the most difficult thing to do. It was even more tiring than moving bricks.
Of course, for the eighth grade alchemist Xiao Chen, he could quickly grasp the degree of fire exposure of the other herbs. With the passage of time, after a few hours, Xiao Chen had completely grasped the degree of fire exposure of the other herbs.
Next was the extreme cold spirit mushroom, crimson spirit fruit, and purple blood spirit mushroom. He observed their degree of fire exposure one by one.
The reason why Xiao Chen observed the herbs one by one was because Xiao Chen's alchemy was different from others. Others would calcine the herbs one by one, but Xiao Chen would put them all into the pill furnace at once. Therefore, he had to understand them before he could concoct the pill.
With the passage of a few hours, except for the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf, Xiao Chen had completely grasped the degree of fire exposure of the other herbs. He could not help but feel a little excited.
Xiao Chen proudly smiled and said, "Hehe, next is the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf. I don't know how strong the fire exposure of this most precious herb is."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and then carefully put the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf into the pill furnace. The black flame was very weak. Xiao Chen was worried that it would destroy this precious herb.
"Huh? Strange, why is there no reaction? The black flame is stronger than other flames. Although it is weak, it should be able to calcine the herb. "After putting the herb in for a few minutes, there was no reaction. Xiao Chen could not help but feel strange.
"Increase the heat!" Xiao Chen secretly said in his heart. He then urged the black flame. Under the control of Zhen Yuan, the heat slowly increased. Xiao Chen carefully observed the changes of the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf through the icy transparent surface of the pill furnace.
However, to Xiao Chen's surprise, as the heat increased, the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf did not have the slightest change.
"Strange, just what kind of herb is this? There is no reaction at all. It can't be related to the black flame. "Xiao Chen was shocked. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Even he did not know what was going on.
"No! Looks like I have to increase the heat! "Xiao Chen ruthlessly said in his heart.
"Peng!"
The black flame suddenly urged, and with a muffled sound, the heat suddenly increased by two times. The powerful black flame wrapped around the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf, and every part of it could be burned.
However, as Xiao Chen increased the heat by two times, the leaves of the Green Spirit Saliva of Seven Illusions began to change. The skin of the herb began to fade slowly, and traces of essence juice began to appear. A faint fragrance also began to spread out from the alchemy furnace.
"Haha! I did it! "Xiao Chen burst into ecstatic laughter at the sight of this.
However, at this time, the faint fragrance began to turn into a burnt smell!
"Huh?" Smelling this burnt smell, Xiao Chen's smiling face suddenly froze. Looking carefully, the herb was burnt! A wisp of black smoke came out.
"Not good! The herb is destroyed! " Xiao Chen turned pale with fright and quickly took out the herb from the pill furnace. However, it was already too late. The herb was already burnt.
Xiao Chen felt as if his heart was bleeding when he saw the charred herbs. He could not believe that such precious herbs had been burned to a crisp.
"What a pity. I was too careless. This herb is priceless, and it was burnt by me just like that. If Senior Hanyou knew, he would probably scold me to death." Xiao Chen said gloomily. However, being gloomy was being gloomy. Medicinal pills had to continue refining.
Although it was burnt, Xiao Chen already roughly knew the degree of fire resistance of the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf. As long as he observed again, Xiao Chen would definitely be able to figure it out. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success.
"I must be careful this time!" Xiao Chen said in his heart. He put another Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf into the pill furnace and urged the black flame, quickly increasing the heat to the previous level and weakening it slightly.
Slowly, slowly, as the black flame burned for time, the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaf indeed slowly shed its skin. The speed was much slower than before.
"Very good! The heat is slightly higher. "Xiao Chen said in his heart. He stared at the pill furnace without blinking. The black flame was also increasing little by little.
After an incense stick's worth of time, the herb began to condense into a liquid essence. A faint fragrance once again pervaded the air. Xiao Chen was immediately overjoyed.
"Great! This is the heat! " Xiao Chen laughed in ecstasy. However, he did not dare to be careless. He continued to control the black flame until the liquid essence of the herb was completely condensed. Xiao Chen quickly urged his soul power to wrap the liquid essence.
"Hu!" After finishing all this, the sky was already dark. Xiao Chen let out a deep breath. His body immediately relaxed, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Xiao Chen said with a gratified smile, "It was really not easy. It was much more difficult than the other herbs. But fortunately, it was a success! Sure enough, hard work pays off. "
After resting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Chen recovered a little and continued.
"Hehe, now it's time to refine the pill!" Xiao Chen said with a mischievous smile. After figuring out the degree to which all the herbs were burned, Xiao Chen was immediately filled with confidence.
Refining the pill was divided into five steps: controlling the flame, calcining, extracting the essence, condensing the pill, and forming the pill.
"Peng!"
Xiao Chen clawed his hand. With a muffled sound, the black flame condensed and flew into the pill furnace. Xiao Chen quickly put the herbs into the pill furnace.
"Ha!" Xiao Chen shouted. While urging his Zhen Yuan, he poured in a powerful soul power. His hands quickly formed a series of mysterious hand seals. The hand seals were constantly changing, and the speed was so fast that it created afterimages.
All the herbs needed to refine the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill were being calcined in the pill furnace. Xiao Chen's hand seals changed rapidly. If one looked carefully, they would see that every herb was wrapped in the black flame and was being calcined at different temperatures. This was the strength of the ancient alchemy technique!
This was controlling the flame and calcining. These two steps were being carried out at the same time.
As time passed, half an hour later, most of the herbs in the pill furnace had shed their skin and began to condense the essence juice.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's hand seals changed again. Zhen Yuan and soul power were crazily urged, and the consumption was huge. In the pill furnace, as long as the essence juice was condensed, Xiao Chen would use his soul power to wrap it, just like the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva Leaves.
This was the third step of extracting the essence juice.
After all the herbs' essence juice was condensed, Xiao Chen's hand seals changed again. This time, it was completely different from before. Xiao Chen shouted, "Condense the pill!"
This was the fourth step of condensing the pill!
As soon as Xiao Chen yelled, all of the liquid essences that were wrapped in soul power in the cauldron dispersed under Xiao Chen's control and melded together. After the melding, the black fire continued to burn, intending to burn the liquid into a solid state and condense it into the shape of a pill.
Completing all four steps in one go was very smooth. Now that he was on the fourth step, it required an extremely strong ability to control the flame.
"I must be careful here. Every time I refine a new pill or a stronger pill, I fail at this step." Xiao Chen secretly said in his heart. His face was extremely solemn. At this moment, his face was covered with sweat, and it was constantly dripping down.
The reason why he failed at this step was because every pill in the fourth step required a completely different amount of heat. It had nothing to do with the degree of heat the herbs could withstand. This was also a difficult point to grasp.
Under the calcine of the black flame, the essence juice had gradually solidified, condensing into a longan-sized oval pearl. A wisp of invigorating fragrance permeated the air, and a powerful spirit energy constantly filled the air.
"This is great! Is it going to succeed? "Seeing the essence condensed into the shape of a pill, Xiao Chen secretly rejoiced.
However, it was still too early for Xiao Chen to be happy. Although the essence had condensed into the shape of a pill and was still exuding powerful Spiritual Qi, the pill in the cauldron was gradually shrinking, and the Spiritual Qi it exuded was gradually weakening.
"Why is the spirit energy weakening? What is going on? "Xiao Chen was puzzled. Looking at his puzzled appearance, he had probably never encountered this before.
