After trying a few times, the refinement of the Earth Spirit Pill ended in failure.
It wasn't a problem with the fire. To Yan Guilai, with Xiao Jin's existence, controlling the fire would never be a problem.
In terms of fire control alone, not to mention the Lingmu Emperor, even Di Tianyi couldn't compare to Xiao Jin.
Although Di Tianyi was strong and invincible, compared to the ancestor of fire, he was like the difference between heaven and earth.
No matter how good a person was at swimming, no matter how familiar they were with the water, they couldn't compare to a real fish. Fire and water were merciless. It wasn't something that humans could control.
However, although there was no problem with fire control, … Yan Guilai had a problem with his mental strength.
Due to the limitations of his body, Yan Guilai's mental strength was very weak and could only be maintained for a short time. Before he could refine a batch of pills, it would be exhausted.
After wasting a few batches of herbs, Yan Guilai finally had no choice but to give up on the Earth Spirit Pill. Instead, he steadily refined the pill that spirit gathering cultivators should refine — the Essence Gathering Pill!
At this moment, Yan Guilai already had the strength of a sixth layer spirit gathering cultivator. Thus … refining the Essence Gathering Pill was already a piece of cake. The only difference was the success rate.
As a second grade pill, the Essence Gathering Pill's herbs had increased from seven to twelve. The difficulty of refining it had greatly increased. However, it was still within Yan Guilai's capabilities.
As the herbs were thrown into the cauldron one by one, balls of emerald green liquid were extracted. Under the refinement of the Sun Primordial Fire, soon … a brown pill was slowly formed.
Inside the cauldron, the three-legged Golden Crow felt the pill slowly forming in the cauldron and fell into deep thought.
As the descendant of the Sun God Bird, Xiao Jin had always only understood the Sun Primordial Fire. It was violent and cruel, but it had never thought that the Sun Primordial Fire could create and give life to all living things.
Feeling the pill slowly forming in the cauldron, Xiao Jin couldn't help but sigh. Where did it go wrong? Why could her Sun Primordial Fire only destroy?
Finally, a five-colored light blossomed from the cauldron. Yan Guilai slapped the cauldron with his hand and a dense five-colored ball of light rose from the cauldron.
Yan Guilai opened his mouth and directly swallowed the ball of dense core energy into his stomach. Satisfied, he let out a burp.
Refining a Level One Body Quenching Pill provided about twice as much dense pill energy as the Blood Staunching Powder, but the energy and time consumed was twice as much.
The efficiency of refining the Body Tempering Pill was actually about the same as refining the Blood Stopping Powder.
However, refining the Blood Staunching Powder didn't consume any energy at all, nor did it require too much attention. As long as the fire was maintained, it would definitely be refined successfully.
Therefore, all this time, Yan Guilai had only refined the Blood Staunching Powder, not the Body Tempering Pill.
Compared to a first-grade pill, a second-grade pill could provide twice as much Pill Qi as a first-grade pill.
After doing some rough calculations, he realized that refining one cauldron of Essence Gathering Pills would give him roughly the same amount of Pill Qi as refining two cauldrons of Blood Staunching Powder.
As such, continuing to refine the Blood Staunching Powder was clearly not worth it.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Yan Guilai cleaned up the cauldron. Just as he was about to continue refining the Essence Gathering Pills, Xiao Jin suddenly jumped out from the stove under the cauldron.
Floating in the air in front of Yan Guilai, the Three-legged Golden Crow said, "Continue refining the Earth Spirit Pill. Only by overcoming difficulties can you continue to break through your limits. If you give up in the face of difficulties, how can there be a miracle?"
Frowning, Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of difficulties, but my mental strength is restricted by my body. I simply can't maintain such concentration for such a long period of time."
Nodding his head, Xiao Jin said, "I know what you're saying, but … I want to try refining with martial fire and forcefully shorten the refining time by half!"
Martial fire!
Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Yan Guilai's heart suddenly trembled.
All this time, Yan Guilai had been using a gentle flame, which was a slow and weak flame, to refine pills. He had never used martial fire before.
In Yan Guilai and Xiao Jin's understanding, since they wanted to create fortune and give life, they naturally had to restrain their flames and use the gentle side of the Sun Primordial Flame to bring out the best effect.
However, after trying for so long, they still couldn't get the gist of it. Xiao Jin also couldn't feel what kind of life force the Sun Primordial Flame could give.
Since the soft approach didn't work, Xiao Jin's temper rose and he directly wanted to use the hard approach.
With regards to Xiao Jin's suggestion, Yan Guilai pondered and analyzed the possibility of this suggestion.
Seeing Yan Guilai's pondering appearance, Xiao Jin said, "This is actually the same principle as stir-frying. If you quickly stir-fry with martial fire, it can be done in two or three strokes. If you simmer it with a gentle flame, two hours is nothing."
Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Yan Guilai fiercely gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Since you are so interested, then let's give it a try, but …"
With a wry smile, Yan Guilai looked at Xiao Jin and said, "You have to know that the ingredients for a third grade pill are very expensive. I can't afford to lose them."
Shaking his head, Xiao Jin said, "Your mentality is wrong. What are you afraid of without money? You can borrow from Dongfang Jiayan first. It's not like you won't pay it back."
With a wry smile, Yan Guilai said, "You don't understand. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. I can't be like this."
Looking helplessly at Yan Guilai, Xiao Jin said, "Why don't I understand? In the words of you humans, don't friends share the meaning of wealth? Why can't I borrow money? "
After a pause, Xiao Jin continued, "You have the Blood Staunching Powder. No matter how much money you borrow, you can still pay it back."
Helplessly looking at Xiao Jin, Yan Guilai said, "What's the use of the Blood Staunching Powder? I don't have three heads and six arms. How much Blood Staunching Powder can I refine?"
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Xiao Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes. He said in astonishment, "Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid? I am a Martial Emperor Ninth Heaven Three-legged Golden Crow. I can split into three thousand flames of the sun to provide a stable flame for three thousand pill furnaces at the same time! "
Hiss …
Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but widen his eyes. That's right … Xiao Jin wasn't restricted by his body. His realm was still at the Martial Emperor realm. It was inevitable that he could split into three thousand flames.
But soon, Yan Guilai's eyes dimmed. He said with a wry smile, "It's still useless. I don't have that many pill furnaces to refine the Blood Staunching Powder."
Xiao Jin nodded and said, "That's right. Given the current market price, even a King Artifact cauldron is worth tens of thousands of gold taels. However … aren't there plenty of cauldrons in Green Wood City and the Eastern Prefectures?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Yan Guilai said, "I'll have to find them first before I can start preparing. Right now, I haven't even taken any shape."
Looking at Yan Guilai, Xiao Jin said, "That's not important. First, sell the remaining Blood Staunching Powder in the dimensional space to Dongfang Jiayan. Let's get through this difficult period first."
Dimensional space?
Looking at Xiao Jin in astonishment, Yan Guilai said, "Are you stupid? The dimensional space is inside the python's body. How can I take it out now …"
Boom!
Just as Yan Guilai finished speaking, a row of wooden shelves fell into the secret room with a loud crash.
Looking at the wooden shelves in front of him and the bags of pills on them, Yan Guilai couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What's going on … Why did the pills in the dimensional space all come out?
