The fire was successfully ignited!
Entering the fire control stage …
At this moment, Zhao Feng was both excited and nervous.
Luckily, he had already activated the power of his left eye and entered the super vision interface. Although it was hot in front of the furnace, his mind was calm.
The power of his left eye gave him sharp, precise, and calm control.
Therefore, even in the most complicated "fire control" stage, Zhao Feng wouldn't make any mistakes, unless it was something that he didn't understand.
Time passed slowly.
Two hours, four hours, six hours …
This wasn't the first time that Zhao Feng had made a pill, but he found that it was taking a long time.
Before, in the Herbal Division, the pills that he made were all low level pills that were suitable for the mortal world, but they were useless in the world of the Clan.
But this time, the "Marrow Cleansing Pill" had already reached the semi-spiritual level, which was the highest level pill that Zhao Feng had ever made.
Six to eight hours later, the fire control stage was coming to an end.
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Feng's forehead. The time required to make a semi-spiritual pill was much longer than the previous ones.
One had to know that eight hours was almost the limit of his internal force control.
Five hours later, the fire control stage was completed.
Zhao Feng was almost out of energy as he sat on the ground. He gathered his last bit of Returning Origin Inner Force and lightly tapped the air.
Pah!
The furnace opened and four to five thumb-sized pills jumped out.
Zhao Feng reached out his hand and took five Marrow Cleansing Pills into his hand.
The number of pills that appeared each time was related to the amount of materials that were used. With the amount of materials that Zhao Feng had used, he could only make five pills at most.
The problem now was the success rate.
"One high quality, one normal; the other three, one useless and two low quality."
Zhao Feng scanned through the pills and found out the success rate.
Success rate, forty percent.
To be honest, he was a bit disappointed with this result.
One had to know that most of his previous attempts in the alchemy room were 100%, or at least 80%.
Of course, Zhao Feng also understood that the success rate of alchemy was related to the grade of the elixir, as well as the cultivation and skill of the alchemist.
If an alchemist like Master Guan were to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the success rate would be 100%. This was because the Marrow Cleansing Pill's level was too low for him. It was not worth mentioning.
Similarly, for Zhao Feng, who was at the ninth level of the Consolidated Realm, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was equivalent to challenging someone of a higher level.
This was because normally, one would need a Half-step Transcending Mortality Stage cultivation base to refine a semi-spiritual pill.
Zhao Feng relied on the fact that he cultivated the Returning Vitality Qi Manual. His inner force was thick, and his control over his strength was even more precise. He almost didn't waste any excess strength, which was why he broke the rules.
Being able to do this was enough to make the Alchemists in the Herbal Wood Hall exclaim in admiration.
"Two Marrow Cleansing Pills, worth ten substandard crystal stones!"
Zhao Feng calculated, and his eyes lit up again.
Even though the success rate was not high, he still "profited".
Because the material cost of refining these Marrow Cleansing Pills was about four pieces of substandard crystal stones.
The rest of the materials could be used to refine the Waning Moon Qi Returning Pill.
Zhao Feng didn't act rashly. Firstly, he thought that the success rate was too low, and secondly, he felt that his experience and skills were not enough.
That day, he took out the Holy Pill Bible that Master Guan had given him before he left.
Without saying anything, Zhao Feng imprinted the contents of the Holy Pill Bible into his mind.
Then, he started to slowly comprehend it …
During the process, Zhao Feng came into contact with the deeper content of alchemy. The notes in the book also gave Zhao Feng a lot of experience.
Zhao Feng roughly comprehended the Holy Pill Bible and instantly gained a lot of enlightenment.
He couldn't help but sigh. If he had comprehended the Holy Pill Bible earlier, he would have had a higher chance of refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
It wasn't until late at night that Zhao Feng put away the Holy Pill Bible.
From tomorrow onwards, he will go to the "Clan Mission Division" to learn formations from Master Zhang.
Before that, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to comprehend the "Illusion Fish Picture" that had been in his mind for a long time.
The Illusion Fish Picture came from the third test.
Before this, Zhao Feng didn't have much understanding of the "Illusion Fish Picture".
Firstly, he focused on the "Four Wind Stances". Secondly, he felt that although the "Illusion Fish Picture" was profound, it seemed to be related to formations and not martial arts.
Tonight, after comprehending it, Zhao Feng realised that the "Illusion Fish Picture" was not as simple as he thought it was.
Indeed, the profound changes in the "Illusion Fish Picture" were related to formations.
But after Zhao Feng comprehended it, he realised that some of the changes seemed to follow the laws of nature.
The changes in the fish, the intertwining of the colors, the waves of the sea, the shift of the sunlight …
These changes in scenery gave people a feeling that they were illusory. All sorts of illusions had deceived people's eyes time and time again.
Last time, Zhao Feng was able to count the number and colors of the fish because of the ability of his left eye.
His left eye seemed to have an innate ability that could "see through" illusions. With its powerful insight and precision, Zhao Feng had successfully reached the seventh transformation of the "Illusion Fish Picture".
But being able to count the fish didn't mean that Zhao Feng had comprehended the concept within. It only meant that he wasn't deceived by the "illusions" brought about by the changes in the picture.
"Changes, changes, illusory and real, illusions …"
Zhao Feng had gained something from the "Illusion Fish Picture".
That night, he had basically comprehended the concepts contained in the first two transformations of the "Illusion Fish Picture".
He realised that the concept of the "Illusion Fish Picture" could be used in martial arts. It allowed his attacks, footwork, and all of his actions to be filled with changes. It was hard to determine what was real and what was fake, and it could even create "illusions" in the eyes of his enemies.
"Amazing!"
Zhao Feng gave it a try and felt that the Star Finger and Smoking Transparent Step that he had learnt before had been given life to them. There were countless changes and they weren't restricted to the original moves.
Just a few tries later, Zhao Feng's Star Finger and Smoking Transparent Step had both surpassed the limits of their original martial arts and had reached the max level.
The so called "max level" meant that to a certain extent, one had surpassed the limits of a skill and reached a higher level than what the creator of the skill had expected.
… ….
The next morning, Zhao Feng woke up and went to the Clan Mission Division to report.
The Clan Mission Division was a relatively complicated structure. It was in charge of all the arrays in the Clan as well as some of the small matters of the Clan.
In the Clan Mission Division, Zhao Feng saw a familiar person. It was Xiao Sun from the Cloud Country's number 1 hidden family.
When Xiao Sun first entered the Clan, he was already at the 9th stage of the Consolidated Realm, surpassing all the newcomers.
Now, half a month had passed and Xiao Sun had reached the half-step Ascended Realm, still far ahead of the others.
Zhao Feng understood that Xiao Sun came from the country's number 1 hidden family and had some connections within the Clan. His talent was also not bad and he had many advantages, far surpassing the other newcomers.
"Brother Zhao, you've been living a good life recently. Old man Guan thinks highly of you and Princess Yun Mengxiang. You're really enviable!"
Xiao Sun took the initiative to speak with a slightly sour tone.
Zhao Feng caught a flash of jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes.
When he first entered the Clan, Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang were close.
The two were a perfect match. One came from the country's number 1 hidden family and the other was the country's princess.
But as Zhao Feng established himself in the outer disciples and became a substitute inner disciple, Old man Guan placed great importance on him and Princess Yun Mengxiang became closer to him than Xiao Sun.
"No matter how good my life is in the outer disciples, it can't be compared to Brother Xiao's. Maybe it won't be long before I enter the inner disciples."
Zhao Feng said humbly, but his words were filled with probing.
His words hit the nail on the head, causing Xiao Sun to feel a little proud of himself.
"Haha, thanks for your good intentions. However, before I enter the inner court, I still want to meet the top figures amongst the Substitute Inner Court Disciples. Brother Zhao, you're ranked 13th and I also want to spar with you. "
Xiao Sun let out a soft laugh and left after finishing his sentence.
Challenge me?
Zhao Feng shook his head and didn't put it to heart.
Even though he knew that Xiao Sun had become a substitute inner disciple and was ranked 16th a few days ago.
His cultivation had reached the 9th rank and his Silver Wall Technique had reached the 9th rank. Zhao Feng's strength had more than doubled and with the help of the Illusion Fish Picture, Zhao Feng was on a completely different level compared to ten days ago.
… …
After entering the Clan Mission Division, Zhao Feng once again met old man Zhang.
"Junior Zhao Feng greets Senior Zhang."
Zhao Feng didn't dare to be slow.
Both Old Man Guan and Old Man Zhang were much more powerful than him in the sect.
Old man Zhang was wearing a white robe and he sized up Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Here are a few books, , , …"
Old man Zhang waved his hand and handed seven to eight books to Zhao Feng.
After Zhao Feng took the books, old man Zhang smiled: "Memorize them now."
Zhao Feng was dazed. Memorize them now?
But this wasn't a problem for him. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had memorized all the books.
"Retentive memory, I knew it!"
Old man Zhang acted as if he had expected this.
How did he know that I have retentive memory? Did old man Guan tell him?
Under Zhao Feng's puzzled gaze, Old Man Zhang sneered and said, "Regarding your Retentive Memory, this old man discovered it the first time we met. The changes in the Illusion Fish Picture were extremely complicated. In the end, there were dozens of fish in every change, with a variety of colors. It's impossible for you to pass in such a short time without a strong memory. "
Zhao Feng heard this and couldn't help but admire him.
"There's nothing strange about it. You're not the only one with retentive memory."
Old man Zhang said calmly.
"Could it be, Senior Zhang …"
Zhao Feng was slightly dazed and surprised.
"That's right, this is a talent I was born with. I can memorize normal books after reading them two or three times. But compared to you, I'm still far behind. "
Old man Zhang was proud at first, but then he shook his head bitterly.
There were many talented geniuses in this world, and retentive memory was one of them.
However, both Bei Moi and old man Zhang had retentive memory, but compared to Zhao Feng, they were still far behind.
That day, old man Zhang only explained some basic theories about formations to Zhao Feng, as well as the general direction.
Zhao Feng still felt that he had learned a lot. Formations were more complicated than alchemy, and the theory was even more vast.
Before leaving.
Old Man Zhang smiled in a slightly bewitching manner. "As long as you can comprehend the 'Introduction to Array Formations' and the other seven books within seven days, this old man will allow you to use the 'Thousand Leaf Pond' under my sect's' Energy Gathering Formation '. The spirit liquid in the pond has a miraculous effect on the transformation of the body, and it's also very beneficial for body training … "
