"You're quite perceptive. I didn't expect you to realize it so quickly." Pill King Li had a look of admiration on his face. "Refining the Bone Cleansing Pill with the Sikong Flame was something I had no choice but to do. Originally, it was impossible to refine the pill using this flame according to the pill recipe, so I made some adjustments to the original recipe. In the end, I almost ruined it. If it weren't for you body cultivators, I wouldn't have been able to keep a single pill. "
"I see." Lu Xiaotian nodded. "Then where is the complete pill recipe?"
Pill King Li extended his hand and sent a jade slip flying towards Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian took the jade slip and scanned the pill recipe inside. It was generally the same as the one he'd deduced. The only difference was that some of the spirit items had been altered. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but shake his head. If Pill King Li hadn't given him the recipe, he would've wasted spirit materials no matter how many times he tried.
"In fact, even if I gave you the pill recipe, your chances of success would be next to nothing if you continued to refine it the same way as before," Pill King Li said slowly, a look of understanding on his face.
"Why is that? Do I need to make adjustments to refine the pill with the Phaseless Profound Fire? In my opinion, it's not impossible to refine the pill with the original recipe. " Lu Xiaotian frowned. He'd dabbled in pill dao for many years. He wouldn't listen to whatever Pill King Li said just because his cultivation was higher than his.
"Your deduction ability is too strong. This is your strength and also your weakness. If you don't solve this problem, your pill dao will stop at this level for the rest of your life. "Pill King Li's tone was indifferent." In fact, I don't have much to teach you in pill refinement. "
"What do you mean, Pill King Li?" Lu Xiaotian scratched his head in confusion.
"The wonders of the Dao are indescribable. This is the case for cultivation, pill dao, and all the other Daos in the world. If you want to become a fourth rank pill king, or even higher, it's all about intention, not calculation. Your nascent spirit is the strongest I've ever seen in my life. It was just that sometimes, what seemed to be an advantage could also be the biggest shackles. Since ancient times, there had never been a Pill King who relied on scheming to advance to the Fourth Tier and above. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
Pill King Li let out a long sigh. He made it sound simple, but he'd been stuck at this level for a long time.
The wonders of Dao were indescribable. Pill King Li's words were the same as the Fire Cloud Monster's. Of the two, one was the Dao of Cultivation, the other was the Dao of Alchemy. However, at this moment, Lu Xiaotian felt that they were different paths leading to the same destination.
Pill King Li hadn't taught Lu Xiaotian anything about alchemy, so when he heard these words again, it was as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in his mind. He was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Pill King Li saw Lu Xiaotian's current state and returned to his stone chair. He didn't disturb Lu Xiaotian's contemplation.
One old and one young, one standing and one lying down. In this city amidst the clouds, the blue sky and white clouds formed an extremely harmonious scene.
Lu Xiaotian maintained this state while Pill King Li lay on the stone chair. Occasionally, he would open his eyes and look at the clear blue sky. His eyes looked a bit cloudy, but they were filled with inexplicable emotions and thoughts.
Lu Xiaotian stood quietly beside the stone chair like a pillar. Occasionally, a few white cranes would fly between the spruce trees.
"Did you comprehend something?" Pill King Li asked when he saw Lu Xiaotian awake.
"I think I did, but I also think I didn't." Lu Xiaotian shook his head and thought back to the time when he was lost in thought. He seemed to have grasped something, but also felt like he hadn't. Lu Xiaotian didn't know what to say about this state.
"That's right. Let's start refining now," Pill King Li said. Pill King Li said, "Deduce when you need to, and follow your own feelings when you can't. If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. "
Finished speaking, Pill King Li extended his hand. "You're in luck. There's been some production from the Demonic Mound of Gloom recently, and I've transferred it over. However, there's only one batch of spirit materials. Whether you succeed or not, this is your only chance."
Lu Xiaotian accepted the spirit materials from Pill King Li and calmed his mind. He arranged the various spirit plants inside one by one, then compared them to the Bone Cleansing Pill's recipe and deduced the general process. It was just that the alchemy competition schedule could change at any time, and it wouldn't just go according to one's own ideas. Brilliant alchemists were bound to adapt to the changes.
With a rough outline in his mind, Lu Xiaotian extended his hand and a purple-green bead floated forward. It was the second Fire Dawn Bead that Lu Xiaotian had refined. With the experience of refining the first bead, the second Fire Dawn Bead was not only better than the first one, but the engraving of the runes inside could also be said to be perfect.
Lu Xiaotian extended his hand and clapped it. A large puff of Profound Phaseless Fire gushed out with monstrous momentum. As soon as the Profound Phaseless Fire appeared, the Fire Pearl of Dawn let out a soft hum. The nine palaces and other formation patterns inside were all refined with Profound Phaseless Fire. This kind of Fire Pearl of Dawn naturally repelled other spirit fires, but it was instinctively compatible with Profound Phaseless Fire. A large amount of Profound Phaseless Fire entered the Fire Pearl of Dawn without much effort and accumulated its power.
With the Nine Palaces' affinity with Profound Phaseless Fire, it could easily contain a large amount of Profound Phaseless Fire without any difficulty.
When about eighty percent of the Profound Phaseless Fire had accumulated, Lu Xiaotian slowly controlled the Fire Pearl of Dawn to release the Profound Phaseless Fire inside.
When the cauldron sizzled under the scorching heat of the Profound Phaseless Fire, Lu Xiaotian unhurriedly threw a standard spirit plant into the cauldron.
The Blood East Basket, the Hundred Shackles Stone, and a few pieces of scarlet flaming snow flew out of Lu Xiaotian's hand. The Blood East Basket and the Hundred Shackles Stone weren't easy to merge. In fact, they were somewhat repelled by each other. However, after the pieces of scarlet flaming snow flew out, the flaming snow melted into a scarlet liquid. The liquid was incomparably viscous and seemed to have an inexplicable attraction. It pulled the Blood East Basket and the Hundred Shackles Stone together. The two spirit items' figures gradually blurred and then merged into one.
Pill King Li nodded to himself as he watched from the side. However, he couldn't help but frown. Although what he said to Lu Xiaotian before had hit the nail on the head, even he wasn't sure how much of it Lu Xiaotian could comprehend and use in such a short time. There were some things he didn't say completely. In fact, he was extremely envious of Lu Xiaotian's powerful primordial spirit and powerful deduction ability. In Pill King Li's eyes, this was Lu Xiaotian's strongest point. Since he was the strongest, he relied on it the most. It was precisely because he relied too much on this powerful deduction ability.
If he ran into a problem that even his deduction couldn't solve during the process of refining pills, he would lose the method he relied on the most. It was inevitable that he would be at a loss and unable to deal with it. Refining pills was all about finishing in one go. It wouldn't wait for Lu Xiaotian just because Lu Xiaotian had stagnated. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would fail. However, once Lu Xiaotian took that crucial step, his powerful deduction ability would help him grow to a whole new level.
