Under the heat of the charcoal fire, the Spirit Void Cauldron continued to emit waves of hot air. This was the uniqueness of the Spirit Void Cauldron. The charcoal fire would not condense in one part of the cauldron, but spread out evenly. This meant that the herbs in the cauldron would not be wasted due to excessive heat in one part of the cauldron.
But even with such a good cauldron, he still failed so many times. He could not use bad luck to cover it up. There should be a problem with one of his parts.
Lu Xiaotian thought for a while. In addition to the main primordial spirit, he also transferred the second and third primordial spirits that were deducing array formations and studying the Soul Swallowing Great Technique. He spent all his attention on refining the Condensed Jin Dan.
As usual, he first threw a few supplementary spiritual items into the cauldron.
Not long after, the cauldron emitted a strange fragrance. Lu Xiaotian took out a wood-type Gold Condensing Fruit, also known as the Seven Orifices Exquisite Fruit, and threw it into the Spirit Void Cauldron.
Spirit qi emitted from the seven orifices of the Gold Condensing Fruit. The spirit qi emitted from each orifice was evenly distributed. These seven spirit qi quickly merged with the liquid formed by the supplementary spiritual items in the cauldron. The spirit liquid in the Spirit Void Cauldron quickly merged into a ball and rolled repeatedly. But in the process of rolling, Lu Xiaotian found that the spirit liquid ball seemed to show signs of splitting. In the past, when he used the main primordial spirit alone, he could not detect it. After all, he had to split his attention to look after the cauldron fire. In the past, when he refined most elixirs, due to the improvement of his alchemy skills, he was used to only using the main primordial spirit. Now, after experiencing too many failures, he steeled his heart and used the second and third primordial spirits. Unexpectedly, he found this abnormality when the elixir liquid formed.
Due to the different age of each spiritual item, the spirit qi it contained was also different. The older it was, the more spirit qi it contained. Usually, after reaching a certain age, it would no longer grow.
And for each cauldron of elixirs, the appropriate number of pills could be chosen according to the amount of spirit qi the spiritual item contained. The higher the alchemy skills of an alchemist, some could refine two, or even three or more elixirs in one cauldron. (Thank you book friend Feng Feifei for the suggestion. The previous setting of one elixir per set of ingredients was indeed a bit inappropriate. Here is another explanation, I hope it can make sense.)
For those with lower skills, especially precious elixirs, spiritual items were not easy to obtain. They would choose to be safe and successfully refined one elixir first. To avoid being greedy during the process and on fire elixirs... As for the excess spirit qi, it would naturally be wasted..
Through his many years of experience in alchemy, Lu Xiaotian's success rate in refining the Reverse Pill, the Red Bamboo Pill, and the Purple Yang Pill, which was needed for the late stage of Foundation Establishment, was already quite high. He would accelerate the maturity of the spiritual objects to the limit in the enchantment, so that he could refine several pills in one furnace.
. For this kind of Jin Dan that had not been refined, he would only ripen it to a certain age. This way, he could save a lot of spirit stones.
He did not expect that after refining the Gold Condensing Fruit into elixir liquid, it would produce seven streams of spirit liquid of the same size. When they merged together, it would produce such an extremely subtle split. Every time there was a small change, it seemed that a small part of spirit qi would quietly dissipate.
Lu Xiaotian stared intently at the spiritual liquid in the Spirit Void Cauldron. When it finally solidified into a Jin Dan, it was still a Gold Condensing Pill with only fifty to sixty percent of its medicinal strength. It was still not very useful. Fortunately, it could still be converted into a considerable amount of spirit qi.
However, at this time, Lu Xiaotian's eyes were filled with joy. He unexpectedly used three primordial spirits to refine elixirs. He discovered that the reason for the previous failure was that the spirit qi he provided was not enough. In the process of solidifying the Jin Dan, although those slight splitting effects were stopped by him, he would lose a part of his spirit power every time. Although he had no problem in controlling the fire, once too much spirit power was consumed, the refined Gold Condensing Jin Dan would naturally lose a lot of spirit qi. It could not achieve the effect of the Gold Condensing Jin Dan.
Lu Xiaotian was not afraid of failure, but he was abnormally angry when he could not find the reason for failure. In the final analysis, in order to reduce the loss of spirit stones, when he ripened the Gold Condensing Fruit, he only ripened it to a certain age. Although he left some leeway, the leeway was not enough compared to the loss of spirit qi. This was the crux of his failure in refining elixirs in the past few years.
After figuring out the reason, Lu Xiaotian did not immediately start refining elixirs. Instead, after he calmed down the excitement in his heart, he cleaned the cauldron in an orderly manner. He ripened another portion of the spirit objects in the enchantment. This time, the spirit power contained in it increased by about 20 years.
He started the fire again.
The process was exactly the same as before. In the process of splitting, a lot of spirit qi was lost. This time, the refinement still failed because in addition to the spirit power lost, there was still a certain amount of spirit power left to condense the entire Gold Condensing Jin Dan. When Lu Xiaotian tried to mix these spirit powers together, because of the excess spirit power, the refinement of the Gold Condensing Fruit failed again.
Not only the Gold Condensing Jin Dan, all elixirs were like this. It was definitely not good to have less spirit power, but it was also not good to have more spirit power. A finished elixir had a perfect balance of spirit power inside, not a bit more, not a bit less.
This repeated until the morning of the third day, when the sun rose.
A clear laughter rang out from the backyard, shaking the entire Maple Leaf Valley.
The several Foundation Establishment cultivators of Maple Leaf Valley looked in the direction of the backyard in amazement. They had never come into contact with the unfamiliar silver-haired youth. Previously, they did not find him pleasing to the eye, but after witnessing the mess left behind by the battle between the silver-haired youth and the Black Abyss Elephant, they no longer dared to look down on him. They did not know what kind of happy event the other party encountered that made him laugh so happily. Could it be that he had a breakthrough in some kind of powerful cultivation method? Just by feeling the powerful aura fluctuations from afar, even if they were slow to react, they knew that the silver-haired youth was actually a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. His cultivation was high, perhaps not below the family head.
Lu Xiaotian stopped laughing and played with a dark green elixir in his hand. It was the first wood attribute Gold Condensing Jin Dan he had refined. After countless twists and turns, he had finally refined it. The success of the wood attribute Gold Condensing Jin Dan also marked that he had officially become a Senior Alchemist. In the entire Plenilune Immortal World, or in the Sky Vault, the Southern Wasteland, and other Immortal Worlds. In any Sect, the value and status of a Senior Alchemist surpassed that of an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator.
