Chapter 85: Begin Pill Refinement. Thousand-Year-Old Thunder Bamboo and Demon King Demon Core
“Fellow Daoist Su, how did you do it?!”
Nie Ling’s eyes were filled with shock as she looked at Su Yi’s Thunder Bamboo.
In just two short days, it had actually surpa.s.sed a team that specialized in searching for materials for fifteen days.
If this were to spread, not only would others not believe it, even she herself would not believe it. However, the truth was right in front of him, and she had no choice but to believe it.
When Su Yi saw Nie Ling’s expression, he could not help but find it a little funny. Then, he slowly recounted the events from before.
As he recounted, the expression on Nie Ling’s face could be said to be extremely fascinating. At first, she was a little surprised, but when Su Yi talked about being chased, her face was filled with worry.
Then, Su Yi talked about what happened at the bottom of the valley. Nie Ling’s expression changed from worry to joy..
The twists and turns that Su Yi had experienced in the past two days made Nie Ling not know whether to laugh or cry. She simply could not use her expression to express her current emotions.
She could only see him standing there in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on Su Yi with a lifeless gaze.
Then, Su Yi waved his hand in front of Nie Ling’s eyes and pulled Nie Ling back from her daze.
“Go prepare the ingredients to refine the foundation establishment pill. After we settle the matters in the branch, it should be time for the Tiandao sect to descend, right?”
He waved his hand and brought the heavenly thunder bamboo out of the conference room, preparing to head to the earth fire pill refining room.
Time was a little tight. It seemed like he had to hurry up and refine the pill this time.
Thinking up to this point, his eyes were filled with determination. He then walked out of the meeting room, leaving Nie Ling, who was still a little dazed.
However, very quickly, Nie Ling reacted. She quickly ran out of the meeting room and shouted.
“You should rest first…”
However, there was no trace of Su Yi outside the door. In just the blink of an eye, he diesappeared.
Regarding this, Nie Ling could only sigh.
…
As for Su Yi, after leaving the conference room, he immediately urged his true essence and arrived at the earth fire room that was attached to the Nie family branch.
Just as he pushed open the door, a scorching wave of air crashed onto Su Yi’s face, making him feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It had been a long time since he had refined pills. He did not know if his technique was still rusty.
As he thought of this, his spiritual sense moved slightly and his gaze looked at the panel. It was the Time Pill Alchemy Technique.
[Spell: Time Pill Alchemy Technique (Dao-grade)]
[Description: To become an immortal through hundred refinements, to concoct pills for time. After learning it, one could comprehend the meaning of time and fuse it into alchemy, increasing the pill success rate.]
[Beginning of alchemy: Pills below the celelestial transformation stage, pill success rate +50% , low-grade +30%, middle-grade +10%, high-grade +5%, top-grade +1%, Dao-grade +0.1%]
[Learning conditions: Qi condensation stage, comprehension 20, inner breath 100]
[Advance to small success: Pill success rate 655/1000]
Until now, he only had 655 or so pills. He was still 345 pills away from advancing to the advanced small success stage.
Now that he had more than 600 Thunder Bamboos in his hands, Nie Ling would also send over the corresponding foundation establishment medicinal pills.
“Sigh, it depends on luck.”
He said in a low voice. At this time, Nie Ling also brought the other foundation establishment pill ingredients to the earth fire pill refining room.
Originally, she wanted to let Su Yi rest for a day before refining the pill, but when her gaze met Su Yi’s gaze. It could be seen that Su Yi’s eyes were shining when he looked at these medicinal ingredients, and there was not a trace of fatigue on his face.
Nie Ling could only take back what she wanted to say and said, “fellow Daoist Su, these are the ingredients for 600 foundation establishment pills.”
Hearing this, he nodded and looked at Nie Ling and said softly, “you can go out and do your work first. I’ll inform you when these medicinal ingredients are completed.”
“Okay,” Nie Ling replied softly and did not say anything else. Then, she left the earth fire pill refining room.
Then, Su Yi took out the foundation establishment pill recipe and grabbed a portion according to the ingredients on it.
Then, he opened the pill refining furnace and threw it in. His true essence began to circulate, and the medicinal ingredients in the pill refining furnace began to slowly be refined.
Very quickly, half an hour pa.s.sed, and a notification popped out from Su Yi’s interface.
[Notification: The temperature is too high, the medicinal ingredients have been burned, pill refining has failed.]
…
The first time he tried to refine the foundation establishment pill, he had failed. However, this was a common occurrence in pill refinement. Su Yi did not lose heart, and instead grabbed a new set of medicinal ingredients and started to control the temperature.
This time, under the perception of his true essence, he could feel that the medicinal ingredients in the pill furnace were slowly melting, and then turning into waves of pure medicinal liquid.
Then, his gaze focused, and his true essence started to fluctuate, starting to control the mixing and condensing of the medicinal liquid.
Soon, as the sound of a notification sounded out, a wave of medicinal fragrance spread out from the pill furnace.
[Notification: Pill refinement successful, obtained middle-grade foundation establishment pill.]
Su Yi gently raised his hand, and a pill as white as jade flew out from the pill furnace into his hand.
His eyes narrowed as the foundation establishment Pill’s attributes appeared before his eyes.
[Pill: Foundation establishment pill]
[grade: Middle-grade]
[medicinal effect: Increases the success rate of breaking through to the foundation establishment stage by 10% after consuming]
Just like the qi condensation stage’s mystic condensing pill, it only had the effect of increasing the success rate of breaking through to the foundation establishment stage.
With just a glance at the attributes, he placed the pill into the pill bottle and continued to quickly grab the next set of medicinal ingredients.
As Su Yi’s control over the foundation establishment pill became more and more proficient, his pill success rate and speed also continued to increase.
[Hint: Pill refinement successful, obtained: Low-grade foundation establishment pill]
[Hint: The temperature is too high, the pill is sc.r.a.pped, pill refinement failed]
[Hint: Pill refinement successful, obtained: Middle-grade foundation establishment pill]
[Hint: The temperature is too high, the ingredients are sc.r.a.pped, pill refinement failed]
…
As his proficiency increased, the number of pills he refined increased. At this moment, Su Yi could already reach a terrifying 65% pill success rate.
If this were to be placed in the outside world, it would probably scare those alchemists to death.
Foundation establishment realm, the top alchemists pursued speed and quant.i.ty. Without considering the quality, they could at most reach a 20% success rate. However, Su Yi was good, the lowest was 50%.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had pa.s.sed.
During these seven days, Su Yi had refined more than 500 pills without sleep or rest.
The number of completed pills was around 300. Among them, there were more than 200 low-grade pills, more than 90 middle-grade pills, and 20 high-grade pills. Unfortunately, there were no top-grade pills.
At this time, Su Yi had already stopped refining pills like a machine.
He looked at the materials for the last foundation establishment pill and then looked at the time alchemy technique in his immortal Destiny imprint.
[Spell: Time Pill Alchemy Technique (Dao-grade)]
[Advance to initial success: 999/1000]
He was still one pill away from upgrading his alchemy technique to small success.
He took a deep breath and took out a foundation establishment realm demon king’s demon core and the thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo from the seal s.p.a.ce.
His eyes shook as he shouted.
“Come on, let me see what you two can make together!”
