The first pill Ning Cheng refined was the Supreme Palace Heavenly Ice Pill. Relatively speaking, the Supreme Palace Heavenly Ice Pill was a relatively easy Primordial Dao Pill to refine. Moreover, there were a lot of these medicinal pills, about 15 batches.
Ning Cheng had even refined the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill. Moreover, when he refined the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill, his understanding of the Dao of Alchemy grew even more thorough. He even integrated the Dao of Alchemy into the Dao of Returning to One.
The first half of the Supreme Palace Heavenly Ice Pill was very easy for Ning Cheng. He integrated the divine grasses and dao fruits, purified the dao charm laws of the dao fruits, and refined the impurities.
Just an hour later, Ning Cheng began to condense the Dao Charm of Laws.
The most important aspect of the Primordial Dao pill was the integration of nomological Dao runes. This was also the reason why it was easier to refine Dao pills with a higher cultivation level. The higher one's cultivation level, the more thorough one's understanding of the various laws of heaven and earth would be. Naturally, it would be easier for one to integrate the nomological Dao runes.
Pill Saints with low cultivation like Ning Cheng, who only had a Dao Sculpting cultivation, would have to rely purely on their understanding of the Dao of Alchemy and their control over the dao charm of the Dao Fruit to condense the Dao Essence Dao Fruit.
In the past, when Ning Cheng refined the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill, it was because he managed to capture the Six Yin Fruit's dao charm. However, he didn't have the ability to retain it, which led to him falling into a predicament during the process of refining the pill.
At that time, he had the Bestowing Lawless Fruit, which he used to forcibly retain the Six Yin Fruit's dao charm. Not only did he successfully refine the Six Yin Soul Pill, but he also managed to improve his Alchemy Dao to the next level.
Now, Ning Cheng once again found himself in the same predicament. The main dao fruits of the Supreme Palace Heavenly Ice Pill were the Supreme Palace Dao Fruit and the Heavenly Ice Flower. At this moment, Ning Cheng also managed to capture the dao charm laws of the Supreme Minute Dao Fruit and the dao charm laws of the Heavenly Ice Flower. However, he couldn't leave behind the dao charm laws of the two dao fruits.
He didn't have the ability to integrate the laws of these two Dao Fruits into the Supreme Palace Heavenly Ice Pill. But now, he didn't have the Bestowing Lawless Fruit's help. Even if Ning Cheng had the Bestowing Lawless Fruit, he wouldn't use it to refine the Supreme Micro Heavenly Ice Pill.
Ning Cheng rarely used Pill Arts in Alchemy, but today he had no choice but to use Pill Arts in Alchemy. All sorts of Alchemy Dao runes were sent into the cauldron, and the Supreme Essence Dao Fruit laws were forcefully fused …
"Katcha ….." Just as the Dao Fruit's laws integrated into the Dao Core, a 'katcha' sound emerged from the pill furnace. Then, all kinds of laws dissipated. No matter how capable Ning Cheng was, he couldn't reverse the situation.
The first batch of Supreme Micro Heavenly Ice Pills had failed.
Ning Cheng took in a deep breath and closed his eyes for more than an hour before cleaning the pill furnace and taking out the materials for the second batch of Supreme Star Heavenly Ice Pills.
Two hours later, Ning Cheng once again failed to integrate the Dao Fruit Laws. The second batch of Supreme Micro Heavenly Ice Pills was also wasted.
Ning Cheng stood up, but did not continue to refine the third batch of pills. He was sure that even if he refined a third batch of pills, the final result would still be failure.
His alchemy standards were sufficient, and he had a sufficient understanding of the Dao runes laws of the Primordial Dao Pill. He even had the nomological ability to grasp the Dao fruit. His only regret was that his cultivation was too low, and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao was too weak.
Perhaps he could easily refine a Dao Transformation Dao pill, but the Primordial Dao pill's Heaven Earth Law level was far stronger than the Dao Transformation Dao pill. If he wanted to refine the Dao Transformation Dao Pill, he would probably have to advance to the Dao Birth Divine Emperor Stage.
With about five months left before the Five Realms Pill Competition, Ning Cheng decided to look for an opportunity to advance to the Dao Birth Realm in the Grand Essence Sea's Dragon Washing Pool. He had underestimated the Primordial Dao pill. Given his current cultivation level, no matter how strong his understanding of the Alchemy Dao was, it would be difficult for him to refine the Primordial Dao pill.
…
After greeting Ba Meng and the others, Ning Cheng went directly to the place where Cen Ruxuan and Gongxi Mao lived. He bluntly said that he was afraid that the one-month deadline was too short. He hoped that the deadline could be pushed back a few months, preferably before the Five Realms Pill Competition.
Cen Ruxuan and Gongxi Mao had something to ask of Ning Cheng, so they naturally wouldn't clash with Ning Cheng over a few months.
After settling down, Ning Cheng immediately went to the Pill Association's Si Chen Qiu Tian's cave residence.
"Alchemy Sage Ning, how is Guild Master Hou Tian?" Si Chen Qiu Tian saw Ning Cheng come over and immediately asked about Cheng Hou Tian.
Ning Cheng quickly saluted and said, "Brother Hou Tian is fine. He is now recovering."
Ning Cheng didn't lie to Si Chen Qiu Tian.
Si Chen Qiu Tian sighed and said, "Say hello to Hou Tian on my behalf." He didn't continue to ask about Cheng Hou Tian.
"Union Master Si Chen, I came here today to tell Union Master something." Ning Cheng did not speak about Cheng Houtian anymore.
Si Chen Qiu Tian nodded and regained his calm demeanor, "I naturally know that Pill Sage Ning has many matters to attend to. You wouldn't come here to discuss pills with me. In fact, I really want to discuss pills with Pill Sage Ning."
"When I'm free in the future, I'll definitely explore the Dao of alchemy with the Association Master. This time, I'm going to leave the Heaven Essence Sacred City and go out to train for a few months. "
"You're going out to train?" Si Chen Qiu Tian looked at Ning Cheng in doubt. If someone said that Ning Cheng had nothing to do with Cheng Houtian's poisoning, he would not believe it. Ning Cheng must have known about this matter, but even after knowing about this matter, Ning Cheng still wanted to go out to train, wouldn't that be equivalent to deliberately courting death?
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to answer, Si Chen's Qiu Tian spoke up again, "Pill Sage Ning, it's only been a few months, and the Five Realms Pill Competition is about to begin. If you go out to train now, I'm afraid it will delay the competition. "
Ning Cheng answered honestly, "I was lucky to refine the Six Yin Soul Pill last time. In fact, my success rate in refining Primordial Dao Pills is still too low. It's mainly because my cultivation level is too low. I want to use these few months to advance to the Dao Birth Realm. If I can advance to the Dao Birth Realm, I'll have a greater chance of refining Primordial Dao Pills. Otherwise, even if I participate in the Five Realms Pill Competition, I'll lose more than I win. "
This was simply Ning Cheng trying to paste gold on his face. What did he mean by the success rate was too low? His success rate was simply zero. However, Ning Cheng didn't lie about his last sentence. If he couldn't even refine Primordial Dao Pills in the Five Realms Pill Competition, it would be impossible for him to get a ranking.
Si Chen Qiu Tian fell silent. Ning Cheng had yet to reach the full-circle Dao Sculpting Realm. In a few months, it would be even more difficult to advance from the peak Dao Sculpting Realm to the full-circle Dao Sculpting Realm, and then advance to the Dao Birth Realm. As for Ning Cheng's words about the low success rate of refining Primordial Dao Pills and not getting a ranking in the Five Realms Pill Competition, Si Chen Qiu Tian knew that it was a fact.
Because of this, he had made an exception and asked Ning Cheng to participate in the Five Realms Pill Competition. After all, among the six people participating in the competition, only Ning Cheng had refined Primordial Dao Pills. If Ning Cheng wasn't confident, then the rest of them would go in vain.
After hesitating for a long time, Si Chen Qiu Tian said, "Ning Cheng, you should know that, given your current realm, it's not very likely for you to advance to the Dao Birth Realm before going to the Five Realms Pill Competition."
Si Chen Qiu Tian's words were tactful. Many people couldn't complete the process of advancing from the peak Dao Sculpting Realm to the Dao Birth Realm without tens of thousands of years. Some people couldn't make it in their entire lives. It would be strange if Ning Cheng could complete it in a few months.
"I know, but I'm not willing to give it a try," Ning Cheng said with a bow again.
Apart from refining pills for Cen Ruxuan and Gong Ximao, Ning Cheng wanted to find an opportunity to reach the Dao Birth Realm. The reward for the first place in the Five Realms Pill Competition was also crucial. If he couldn't advance to the Dao Birth Realm and couldn't refine Primordial Dao Pills, it would be a waste to go.
Si Chen Qiu Tian stared at Ning Cheng for a while before standing up and walking around his house for a full incense stick worth of time without speaking.
Ning Cheng still had a lot of respect for Si Chen Qiu Tian. When he was about to fail in refining the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill and condensing the Dao Fruit law, Si Chen Qiu Tian gave him some pointers. Therefore, Ning Cheng didn't speak while Si Chen Qiu Tian wandered around the house.
After half an hour, Si Chen Qiu Tian finally said with determination, "Ning Cheng, I'll take you to a place. Let's go now."
Although Si Chen Qiu Tian didn't say where they were going, Ning Cheng didn't ask anything.
… …
Half a month later, Si Chen Qiu Tian took Ning Cheng to a barren sea in the Grand Essence Sea.
If they went somewhere else, Ning Cheng might have objected. However, Ning Cheng had already planned to come to the Grand Essence Sea's Dragon Cleansing Pool. Therefore, when Si Chen Qiu Tian brought him here, Ning Cheng didn't say anything.
"Ning Cheng, do you know which sect is the most mysterious among the ten major sects?" Standing on the sea, Si Chen Qiu Tian suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Ning Cheng replied, "It should be the Mysterious Crossing Ancient Clan, right? I heard that people from the Mysterious Crossing Ancient Clan never come out. Moreover, their sect is in the Grand Essence Sea ….. "
At this point, Ning Cheng suddenly thought of something and looked at Si Chen Qiu Tian in doubt.
Si Chen Qiu Tian nodded, "Ning Cheng, you guessed it. The place I brought you to is the Mysterious Crossing Ancient Clan. The Mysterious Crossing Ancient Clan owed my master a favour and said that they could help me three times. My master used it twice, but my master left one for me. I never used it. "
"Association Master, what do you mean?" Ning Cheng suddenly understood why Si Chen Qiu Tian changed calling him Pill Sage Ning to Ning Cheng. It was because he regarded him as one of his own.
Si Chen Qiu Tian showed a slight smile, "Yes, I intend to use it on you this time. As for your wish, the Mysterious Crossing Ancient Clan can definitely help you achieve it. Moreover, in the entire Grand Essence Realm, perhaps only the Mysterious Crossing Ancient Clan can help you achieve it. "
Ning Cheng quickly said, "Association Master Si Chen, I can't afford it. If I advance to the Dao Birth Realm later, it won't affect me too much. At most, I won't be able to participate in the Five Realms Pill Competition. "
Si Chen Qiu Tian shook his head, "It might not affect you much, but it would affect me too much. In this Five Realms Pill Competition, you are the only Pill Sage who can get a place. If you don't go, it would be the same for me. Rather than helping you, it would be better to say that I'm helping myself. "
Ning Cheng wasn't a fool. How could he say that he was helping Si Chen Qiu Tian in this matter? After listening to Si Chen Qiu Tian's words, he didn't refuse it again. Instead, he bowed and said, "Okay, if Association Master needs my help in the future, this Ning Cheng will never refuse."
Si Chen Qiu Tian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let's go in now."
This was what he wanted to hear from Ning Cheng. He was also optimistic about Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng's promise might be even more important than the help from the Mysterious Crossing Ancient Clan.
