Sun View Palace.
Alchemy Room 208.
After leaving the Green Jade Hall, Lu Yun returned to Fly Cloud Pavilion to rest for the night.
The next day, as soon as he got up, he went straight to his alchemy room.
Looking at the two Sumi Bags in his hand, Lu Yun fell deep in thought.
One Sumi Bag contained the spirit herbs he obtained by accepting alchemy missions at the Bright Sun Palace, while the other contained the spirit herbs he had purchased at the Green Jade Hall.
“These are my own materials, so taking the refined pills out of the Alchemist Alliance shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
After hesitating for a short while, Lu Yun eventually opened the Sumi Bag he received from Bright Sun Palace.
“Is this the pill recipe 1 need to refine the pill?”
Lu Yun picked up a yellow scroll, which revealed the contents of the pill recipe when it was spread out.
“Qi Recovery Pill?”
With a soft murmur, Lu Yun began to study the pill recipe.
It simply listed the types and quantities of spirit herbs needed to refine the Qi Recovery Pill.
Although the recipe is simple, it was created through countless attempts and experience of the predecessors.
Furthermore, refining a pill is not just about having a pill recipe. Without tens or hundreds of failures, success is impossible.
Every pill requires different levels of control for the furnace temperature, refining, fusing, and timing. If one’s Alchemy Technique hasn’t reached a certain level of proficiency, it’s impossible to succeed at refining a pill on the first try.
Even for the Qi Combining Pill in front of him, a 2nd Grade alchemist who has been immersed in alchemy for several years must fail at least three or four times before they can successfully refine it.
However, Lu Yun was different. His Alchemy Technique had already reached the peak of the second level.
As it was enhanced by using energy, his skill had reached the pinnacle in all aspects, including controlling the fire and other abilities, which were the maximum limit that a Second Grade Alchemist could achieve.
With his current level, even if it’s his first time refining a Qi Recovery Pill, he has full confidence, and could even guarantee to refine a high-quality Qi Recovery Pill with a pill pattern.
Of course, there was still an element of luck involved.
When he reached the furnace, Lu Yun looked around and found no materials for ignition, causing his brow to furrow.
How could he refine pills without fire? He couldn’t exactly breathe fire himself.
At this moment, his gaze suddenly fell upon a gray stone pedestal at the base of the Alchemy Furnace.
The round, flat pedestal was only half a foot tall, with a circular hole in the center that aligned perfectly with the furnace’s bottom vent.
A one-foot long, angular stone pillar extended from the right side of the pedestal, reaching around three feet in height. On the front of the stone pillar, the words ‘Earth Fire Controller’ were engraved.
On its surface, there was a groove in the middle with numerous fine markings on both sides, and a thick stone lever at the end.
Lu Yun swept his sleeve, and a burst of Pure Yang Aura fell on the stone lever.
The lever suddenly moved more than ten notches, and at the same time, a purple flame gushed out of the hollow hole under the Alchemy Furnace, instantly filling the furnace.
Seeing this, Lu Yun couldn’t help but show a look of curiosity.
Then, he continued to use his aggressive aura to control the stone lever, carefully observing the change in the furnace temperature. Once he could control it with ease, ensuring that the furnace’s temperature could be adjusted according to his will, he finally stopped.
“This method is not as convenient as having one’s own fire seed, but it’s still much more convenient than using charcoal or other fuel,” Lu Yun thought as he watched the gradually extinguishing earth fire, nodding in approval.
Next, he moved to a cushion on the side and sat down cross-legged, readying himself.
After sitting for half an hour, feeling that his spirit had reached its peak, Lu Yun opened his eyes and prepared to start refining the pill.
A burst of Pure Yang Aura shot out, and the earth fire immediately gushed out of the round pedestal’s hollow, filling the Alchemy Furnace.
When the temperature inside the furnace felt right, Lu Yun flicked his right hand, and with a sweep of his sleeve, the furnace lid flew off and hovered in the air.
With his index and middle fingers, a Ganoderma Snow Grass flew into the furnace from its top. Under Lu Yun’s control, the stone lever began to slide, and the temperature inside the Alchemy Furnace gradually increased.
As time passed, the Ganoderma Snow Grass was completely refined, ready for cleansing.
Soon, Yellow impurities were extracted, leaving behind a clear, translucent medicinal liquid.
Lu Yun couldn’t help but smile, as he used a burst of aggressive aura to wrap around the medicinal liquid, sending it into the Isolation Cabin.
Following that, he inserted two Silver Spirit Flowers and began the process of refining and purifying them once again.
After several similar attempts, all with different fire controls and refining timings, the spirit herbs were fully refined within half an hour. Lu Yun immediately mixed the four perfectly purified medicinal liquids according to the designated proportions before transferring them from the Isolation Cabin to the main chamber.
Under Lu Yun’s control, the lid of the Alchemy Furnace slammed shut, and the power of the earth fire gradually increased. The new compound medicinal liquid, formed from the fusion of four different proportions of medicinal liquids, began to tremble and pulsate.
As time went by, the embryo of a Meridian Pill gradually took shape, exuding a faint pill fragrance that invigorated anyone who smelled it.
But Lu Yun, who had reached the peak of the second level in Alchemy Techniques, knew that there was still a while until the pill was fully formed. He needed to wait for the right moment to greatly increase the power of the earth fire, so that the pill would fully condense into a pill pellet. The last step would be to refine the pill using gentle heat, ultimately producing the final pill.
After another half an hour, a shining, golden Meridian Pill floated in front of Lu Yun.
Looking at the fragrant Meridian Pill, Lu Yun’s face bore an expression of deep thought..
