Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Pill Formation, Three Quality Foundation Pills_l
Translator: 549690339
Inside the Alchemy Room in the valley.
A huge pill furnace sits in the center.
Zhou Sui is sitting in front of the pill furnace, with ingredients for the foundation pill and a second-stage demon core laid out in front of him.
He takes a deep breath, calming his restless thoughts.
Whoosh—
In an instant, Zhou Sui moves, executing the Five Elements Alchemy Technique.
The Five Elements Alchemy Technique, perfected to the Great Achievement Realm, wields inconceivable power. It masterfully manipulates the power of the five elements to such an exquisite degree that it appears to be in a microscopic realm.
The first is the power of the golden element. It turns into sharp little knives, instantly cutting apart each ingredient. The harmful parts are cut away, and the beneficial parts are left behind.
Many spiritual medicines are divided into countless pieces, as if they’ve been instantly cut into numerous chunks.
Next is the power of fire. Huge flames instantly start to burn under the pill furnace, the temperature rising. Under the power of the fire, each spiritual medicine begins melting.
Spiritual medicines that were initially difficult to dissolve, at this moment, are rapidly melted into drops of spiritual liquid.
Then comes the power of the earth element. It seems to become a heavy wall of mud surrounding the entire pill furnace, not only isolating the heat but also preventing the evaporation of the spiritual liquid.
This point is very crucial.
Because when spiritual medicine melts into spiritual liquid, under the heat of the flame, it can vaporize.
This also leads to a significant portion of the medicinal strength vanishing.
One can easily imagine that this is a major reason why pill production often fails to yield superior-quality pills.
This is because a large amount of medicinal liquid evaporates during the pill-making process.
Only by harnessing the power of the earth element and forming a mud barrier can we prevent the evaporation of the spiritual liquid.
At the same time, this power can also help the pill furnace maintain an appropriate temperature, further saving the energy of the flame.
But this is just the beginning.
The power of water starts to merge into it, merging into the spiritual liquid, beginning to separate the impurities within the spiritual liquid.
Countless spiritual liquids seem to form a whirlpool, generating a tremendous force.
Due to the centripetal force, a large amount of impurities in the spiritual medicine are thrown out, hitting hard against the barrier of the pill furnace.
The last is the power of the wood element, the power of life, the power of spiritual medicine. It seems to completely merge countless spiritual liquids together, attracting them.
It can even mend the damaged medicinal force in the spiritual liquid, making the medicinal force extraordinarily gentle.
This is the neutralizing power in the spiritual liquid.
“Incredible! Is this the Five Elements Alchemy Technique?!
Zhou Sui’s eyes show a glimmer of brilliance, reflecting his excitement.
After cultivating the Five Elements Alchemy Technique to the Great Achievement Realm with the help of the Bookworm, he immediately realizes that his alchemy skills have advanced a level.
The perfect collaboration of the five elements makes each alchemy session almost flawless.
Regardless of whether it’s the fusion of spiritual medicine, the removal of impurities, or the integration of spiritual liquids, and so on.
The powers of the five elements complement each other.
This is significantly better than simply refining with spiritual fire. Without a doubt, this is a top-tier alchemy skill with countless magical uses.
Of course, for ordinary people to cultivate the Five Elements Alchemy Technique to the Great Achievement Realm, without hundreds of years of alchemy experience and impressive talent, it is impossible to succeed.
But he’s different, with the power of the Bookworm, he can stay in a state of enlightenment all the time.
As such, his cultivation efficiency is a hundredfold or more than other alchemists’.
“No wonder trying to refine the foundation pill with a second-stage demon core fails so quickly; there are just too many impurities.”
Zhou Sui squints his eyes.
When he used the Five Elements Alchemy Technique to refine the second-stage demon core, he immediately understood why the second-stage demon core, as the main ingredient for the foundation pill, can never quite compare to Golden Jade Lingzhi.
The second-stage Demon Core is full of impurities, teeming with demonic nature and power.
If the Alchemist is unable to expel these impurities from the Demon Core, then Alchemy will inevitably fail.
Even if successful, the resulting product will only be an inferior Foundation Pill.
Of course, there is a reason why the second-stage Demon Core can serve as a primary ingredient.
The most important reason is that it contains all the energy needed by a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, such as vitality, soul, and mana, etc. It can assist Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators and simultaneously enhance their power.
As long as the impurities of the second-stage Demon Core are stripped away, its essence is not so different from the Golden Jade Lingzhi.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the Five Elements Alchemy Technique to the Great Achievement Realm.
Therefore, removing the impurities from the second-stage Demon Core was not a difficult task.
Boom Boom Boom
In an instant, various spiritual herbs started melting in the Pill Furnace, under Zhou Sui’s immense Divine Sense, all impurities were thoroughly expelled, leaving only the essence, the Spiritual Liquid.
Whoosh—
As time passed, impurities were slowly expelled, only the essential Spiritual Liquid remained in the end.
Under the power of Five Elements, these Spiritual Liquids started gathering together.
Boom—
The alchemy process this time took up a whole day and night, Zhou Sui was fully focused, without any lax.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light shot out from the Pill Furnace, illuminating the entire Alchemy Room.
Simultaneously, an intoxicating fragrance of Pills permeated throughout the Alchemy Room.
No, it was not just limited to the Alchemy Room, it even spread throughout the entire valley.
Basically, everyone in the valley could perceive this aroma, making them salivate.
It felt like every cell of their bodies was cheering.
“Haha, it worked, it finally worked.”
“1 successfully refined the Foundation Pill on the first try, and there are three Foundation Pills.1‘
Zhou Sui burst into laughter, filled with joy.
He looked at the three round and golden Foundation Pills inside the Pill Furnace, his excitement was through the roof.
Frankly, after spending so much time and effort, he had finally successfully refined the Foundation Pill.
If the outside world knew about this, they would definitely go crazy. Refining three Pills at once was basically the limit for an Alchemist.
Even veteran Alchemists would not dare to claim that they could achieve this. But Zhou Sui managed to do it on his first attempt, a truly rare feat indeed. “Husband, did you succeed? Did you successfully refine the Foundation Pill?” At this moment, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan all rushed to the Alchemy Room, having heard the good news.
They had been waiting anxiously outside the room for the results of this Alchemy attempt.
They didn’t even dare to breath loudly, fearing that it might affect Zhou Sui’s success rate.
But now, after hearing Zhou Sui’s words, they couldn’t wait to rush into the Alchemy Room.
They all looked at their husband with surprise and joy.
“Of course, who do you think your husband is? Naturally, it was a piece of cake.”
“I have refined the Foundation Pills, and not just that, three top-quality Foundation Pills.”
Zhou Sui said, brimming with pride..
