Chapter 12: First Time Refining Pills, Nie Ling’s Shock
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Not long after, Nie Ling took out the pill formula of the qi condensation pill from the immortal destiny seal and directly placed it in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi took the pill formula of the qi condensation pill and sized it up.
[Pill formula: Qi condensation pill.]
[Effect: Consuming one pill can increase the cultivation of the qi condensation stage.]
[Required ingredients: Qi condensation stage demon pill, purple gas vine, ge huan gra.s.s.]
The main ingredients of all realm medicinal pills were the demon beast’s inner core, supplemented by other medicinal herbs. The quality of the demon beast’s inner core affected the success rate and the quality of the medicinal pill.
After keeping the pill formula, Su Yi first went to the medicinal herb store and spent over 20,000 yuan to buy 300 sets of purple gas vine and ge huan gra.s.s. Then, he followed Nie Ling to the earth fire venue of the Nie family’s trading company..
At this moment, Nie Ling stopped her footsteps,
“Brother Su, this earthly fire venue is too hot. I won’t go in. After you go in, you can focus on refining pills. No one will disturb you.”
Su Yi nodded. Then, he calmly walked in.
Looking at Su Yi’s back as he walked in, a trace of a smile flashed across Nie Ling’s pretty face.
No one knew what she was thinking.
…
On the other side, when Su Yi stepped into the earth fire venue, a wave of scorching heat a.s.saulted his face. Even the air was faintly flickering with the glow of the earth fire.
The earth fire venue was not very big, only forty to fifty feet in size. In the center of the room, there was a cauldron of pitch-black alchemy furnace.
Under the alchemy furnace, one could faintly see the raging earth fire.
He took out a demon beast inner core from the immortal destiny seal and threw it into the alchemy furnace along with a portion of purple gas vine and ge huan gra.s.s.
Then, he cast a spell toward the earth fire under the alchemy furnace.
In the next second, Su Yi silently used the Time Pill Alchemy Technique. The earth fire under the alchemy furnace followed Su Yi’s guidance and began to burn fiercely.
He worked the furnace, refining the medicine, purifying, and fusing the pills
According to the alchemy technique in his mind, Su Yi proceeded calmly.
But at the moment when the furnace was opened, a notification popped up.
[Hint: The temperature is too high, the ingredients are sc.r.a.pped, and the alchemy has failed.]
Seeing this, Su Yi could not help but be stunned.
He had mastered the Time Pill Alchemy Technique, and his success rate was +50%, yet he could still fail!
This was too difficult!
If it was not for the Time Pill Alchemy Technique’s augmentation, alchemy would be extremely difficult.
Su Yi shook his head, knowing that he had underestimated alchemy.
He tried again, placing the demon core, the purple gas vine, and the get huan gra.s.s into the alchemy furnace one by one. Then, he cast aside all distracting thoughts and silently operated the Time Pill Alchemy Technique, concentrating on controlling the temperature of the earth fire.
After a moment, the demon core and the medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace gradually began to melt. A faint medicinal fragrance floated out of the alchemy furnace.
In the blink of an eye, the demon core and the medicinal herbs turned into liquid and slowly flowed in the pill furnace.
Under the roasting of the earth fire, the medicinal pill slowly took shape.
[Hint: Pill refinement successful. Obtained: Low-grade qi condensation pill.]
Su Yi was delighted. He dispersed the spell in his hand and the earth fire immediately sank back into the ground. Then, he took the medicinal pill out of the pill furnace.
Looking at the pitch-black medicinal pill in his palm, Su Yi smiled in relief.
[Pill: Qi condensation pill.]
[Grade: Low-grade.]
[Effect: Increase 30 points of cultivation.]
[Low-grade: After consuming 50 pills, reaching the upper limit, the efficacy will be ineffective.]
[Interval: 2 days.]
After putting this low-grade qi condensation pill into a small porcelain bottle, Su Yi continued to refine more pills.
This time, the feeling was much better than before. After a moment, a notification popped up in front of his eyes.
[Notification: Pill refinement successful. Obtained: Middle-grade qi condensation pill.]
Su Yi took out the pill. The color and l.u.s.ter of the pill were no different from that of the low-grade one. However, the medicinal fragrance of the pill was much stronger than that of the low-grade one.
[Pill: Qi condensation pill.]
[Grade: Middle-grade.]
[Effect: Increase cultivation by 90 points.]
[Mid-grade: After consuming 100 pills, reaching the upper limit, the effect of the pill will be ineffective.]
[Interval: 2 days.]
After mastering the technique, Su Yi began to refine the pills in batches. He threw 5 portions of the ingredients into the pill furnace. Then, he used the Time Pill Alchemy Technique to draw the earth fire and began to refine the pills again.
After the time it took to brew a pot of tea, a rich medicinal fragrance came out from the pill furnace. The entire pill room was filled with the fragrance of the pills.
[Hint: Pill refinement successful. Obtained: Midle-grade qi condensation pill.]
[Hint: The temperature is too high. The medicinal pill is sc.r.a.pped. Pill refinement failed.]
[Hint: Pill refinement successful. Obtained: Low-grade qi condensation pill.]
[Hint: The temperature is too high. The ingredients are sc.r.a.pped. Pill refinement failed.]
[Hint: Pill refinement successful. obtained: High-grade qi condensation pill.]
…
The art of alchemy was indeed very difficult.
Even after Su Yi became familiar with it, with the 50% success rate of theTime Pill Alchemy Technique, he still failed many times.
However, the grade of the pills that were refined later were all between low, middle, and high-grade. After Su Yi threw the last batch of ingredients into the pill furnace, he once again used the Time Pill Alchemy Technique and drew the earth fire to begin the last pill refinement today.
[Hint: Pill refinement successful. Obtained: Top-grade qi condensation pill.]
Su Yi was slightly stunned. Only then did he realize that he had thrown in the demon wolf king’s demon pill by accident.
However, to be able to refine a top-grade pill on the first day of pill refinement, then it was worth it.
Taking out the supreme-grade qi condensation pill from the alchemy furnace, he saw that this pill was greatly different from the previous ones. The pill was pearl-like milky white in color, and the medicinal fragrance was several times stronger than before. There were even faint patterns on it.
[Pill: Qi condensation pill.]
[Grade: High-grade.]
[Effect: Increase 300 points of cultivation.]
[High-grade: After consumption, within three days, Qi condensation realm cultivation effect + 15. Consumption Limit: 500 pills.]
[Interval: three days.]
“Qi condensation realm cultivation effect + 15. Unfortunately, it’s not permanent. It only lasts for three days.”
Looking at the pill’s effect, Su Yi smiled faintly.
To others, this was a top-grade attribute. The cultivation effect + 15 represented every cycle, which was equivalent to taking half a low-grade qi condensation pill.
Qi condensation realm breathing exercises three times a day was equivalent to taking 18 low-grade qi condensation pills a day, totaling 54 pills in three days.
However, he had the Starry Sea Bottle, which could be purified to celestial grade, so he did not need to take this top-grade qi condensation pill.
Thinking of this, Su Yi put away all the pills and walked out of the earthly fire venue.
Nie Ling heard the noise and quickly turned around, saying in surprise, “only half a day has pa.s.sed, and it’s already done?”
Su Yi nodded indifferently, “this is a low-grade qi condensation pill.”
With that, he handed the bottle of low-grade qi condensation pill to Nie Ling.
Nie Ling did not pay too much attention to it. After all, it was his first time refining pills. She expected him to only be able to produce low-grade pills.
She opened it and took a look. A faint medicinal fragrance a.s.sailed her nostrils. When she saw that there were actually more than 50 pills inside, she could not help but display a trace of shock across her face. It was his first time refining pills, and the success rate was already so high?
But in the next moment, Su Yi stuffed more than 30 middle-grade pills, 10 high-grade pills, and that top-grade qi condensation pill into Nie Ling’s hand.
This caused Nie Ling’s face to be filled with astonishment.
She opened the porcelain bottle in her hand one by one.
“Mid-grade qi condensation pill?!”
“Top-grade qi condensation pill!!”
“Heavens! Top-grade qi condensation pill!! The effect of three days of cultivation + 15?”
At this moment, Nie Ling looked at the pill in the bottle, and her small mouth opened into the shape of an O.
Looking at Su Yi, her face was filled with shock.
“Help me deal with it!” Su Yi said.
After all, Nie Ling seemed to be quite reliable, and he definitely had other things to do next, so he did not have time to worry about these things.
Hearing Su Yi’s words, Nie Ling finally recovered from her shock, and said excitedly, “brother Su, are you in a hurry to sell this batch of medicinal pills? If you’re not in a hurry, you can take them out and auction them, and you can obtain even greater profits!”
Su Yi was stunned for a moment and shrugged indifferently. “It’s up to you.”
“Then how about this, I’ll first pay for them and then give you the rest of the money after the pills are auctioned off in a few days. How about it?”
“No problem. You can set the price. I trust you.”
Nie Ling pondered for a moment. “Low-grade Qi condensation pills are worth 3,000 a pill. I’ll give you this according to the market price. 50 pills are worth 150,000.”
“If it’s a mid-grade one, it’s 5,000 yuan each. Here, it’s also 150,000 yuan.”
“If it’s a high-grade or top-grade one, I estimate that it’s at least 300,000 yuan.”
“A total of 600,000 yuan. I’ll transfer the money to you first, and then I’ll arrange the auction. As for the specific price, I’ll only let you know when the time comes.”
Hearing this, Su Yi thought for a moment, then said, “alright, you handle it.”
In the next moment, Nie Ling transferred the money into Su Yi’s account.
Then, Nie Ling took the pill and seemed to have made a decision. She said, “fellow Daoist, I wonder if you can refine the qi condensation stage breakthrough pill?”
“It’s the mystic condensing pill. There is a large demand for this kind of pill in the market. The supply simply can’t meet the demand.”
“On behalf of the Nie family’s trading company, I hope to cooperate with you for a batch of mystic condensing pill.”
