Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 145 - 104: Five Years to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, the Sect Leader’s Lament!

Chapter 145: Chapter 104: Five Years to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, the Sect Leader’s Lament!

"Finally promoted to Tier Two Lower Grade Alchemist, I can start refining the Yellow Dragon Pill, it’s not easy."

Qi Chuan sighed as he gazed at the words before him.

He then closed his eyes for a moment, absorbing the vast understanding of alchemy that emerged in his mind.

When he reopened his eyes, there was a look of confidence within them.

From this moment on, he was a Tier Two Alchemist. Reaching this level over the past few days relied entirely on his own efforts!

"Since my alchemy skills have caught up, it’s time to start refining the Yellow Dragon Pill."

Subsequently, Qi Chuan tidied up some Jade Boxes in front of him, cleaned out the Black Peak Tripod, and then brought out the spirit grass materials for the Yellow Dragon Pill.

A total of eighteen Jade Boxes or Jade Bottles were laid out before him, opened one by one, revealing spirit grasses and materials of various colors and shapes inside.

There were as many as five Tier Two Lower Grade spirit herb materials!

The remaining thirteen spirit herb materials were all Tier One Top Grade!

These were all exchanged by Qi Chuan from the Pill Pavilion of the Wind Moon Sect using Elder Merit Points, precious and expensive. If Qi Chuan hadn’t previously slain Lin Sha, he wouldn’t have had enough Elder Merit Points to exchange for them. Of course, during the exchange, his sect leader master covered for him, so his non-fall from grace wasn’t exposed.

"These spirit herb materials don’t have a very high grade, but they are rare. Even the Wind Moon Sect doesn’t have much in stock. Among them, the two key Tier Two Lower Grade spirit herb materials only have a few portions. I’ve exchanged them all, using one less one. I hope not to waste too much during the refining later..."

Qi Chuan thought to himself.

Then, with a wave of his palm, the Tier One Top Grade spirit herb materials were successively sent into the Black Peak Tripod from the fire mouth, enveloped by porcelain white Innate True Fire, beginning the refining process.

The Tier One Top Grade spirit herb materials were refined by Qi Chuan into medicinal liquid or powder.

Now a Tier Two Lower Grade Alchemist, Qi Chuan’s skill at refining spirit herb materials was his forte. Thus, refining these fifteen Tier One Top Grade spirit herb materials was achieved in one go.

With such refinement skills, he was undoubtedly top tier among all Tier Two Lower Grade Alchemists.

"Next are the five Tier Two Lower Grade spirit herb materials..."

After storing away the refined spirit herb materials, Qi Chuan paused, gesturing with his palm to summon a Tier Two Lower Grade spirit herb named "Moon Orchid" into the Black Peak Tripod through a fire mouth.

The porcelain white Innate True Fire coiled around it, starting to incinerate.

Qi Chuan concentrated fully on controlling the heat.

After a quarter of an hour, the original Moon Orchid in the tripod was replaced by a mist last white medicinal liquid.

"Success."

Qi Chuan said inwardly.

Before his eyes, a line of words appeared.

[This is your first time refining Moon Orchid, attempting to perfectly extract the spiritual liquid within. You triggered a Hundredfold Critical Strike, obtaining a hundredfold reward. Your technique in extracting Moon Orchid has reached perfection, and your control over heat has improved somewhat.]

The insights in refining and heat control accompanying these words were swiftly absorbed into his mind.

Qi Chuan felt that he would encounter no issues refining Moon Orchid in the future.

Yet, Qi Chuan was not lax, as there were still four more Tier Two Lower Grade spirit herb materials to refine.

After storing the refined medicinal liquid for the Moon Orchid in a Jade Bottle, Qi Chuan resumed refining the remaining four spirit herb materials.

During the process, Qi Chuan was very cautious, fearing the waste of even a single rare spirit plant.

Thankfully, the outcome was not disappointing.

[This is your first time refining Dust Suppressing Grass, attempting to perfectly extract the spiritual liquid within. You triggered a Hundredfold Critical Strike, obtaining a hundredfold reward. Your technique for refining Dust Suppressing Grass has reached perfection, and your control over heat has improved somewhat.]

[This is your first time refining Life and Death Flower, attempting to perfectly extract the spiritual liquid within. You triggered a Hundredfold Critical Strike, obtaining a hundredfold reward. Your technique for refining Life and Death Flower has reached perfection, and your control over heat has improved somewhat.]

...

Successive lines of text appeared before Qi Chuan’s eyes.

The four remaining Tier Two Lower Grade spirit herb materials were successively refined into medicinal liquid or powder.

During this, remarkably, none were wasted.

"Seems like I’ve got good luck..." Qi Chuan couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the refined spirit herb materials.

Originally, he was ready to waste a small portion.

Unexpectedly, his Golden Finger was potent enough to avoid it entirely.

"However, getting past the refinement stage still leaves the pill formation!"

Qi Chuan closed his eyes to recuperate his breath for a moment, then began preparing for the task at hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The refined spirit herb materials were placed back in the Black Peak Tripod, a total of eighteen, floating and rotating without intersecting.

Foundation Establishment Divine Sense surged, wreathing them in tendrils of divine power.

Qi Chuan’s palms formed seals, casting one alchemy technique after another.

Inside the Black Peak Tripod, the eighteen refined materials began to approach and merge.

During this process, a resistance appeared.

This resistance wasn’t them repelling each other.

Instead, Qi Chuan was tremendously careful, fearing issues might arise, causing the fusion process of the refined materials to slow, seeming as if there was a helping force generally.

Poof!

Two quarters of an hour later, Qi Chuan’s face showed some disappointment.

A soft sound emanated from the Black Peak Tripod, and a pile of ashes fell to the bottom.

Failure.

"I was this cautious, yet still wasted an entire batch of spirit herb materials?"

Qi Chuan shook his head.

But immediately, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[You carefully manipulated with Foundation Establishment Divine Sense and alchemy techniques to condense Yellow Dragon Pills, attempting to form six pills. You triggered a Hundredfold Critical Strike, obtaining a hundredfold reward. Your skill in refining Yellow Dragon Pills has greatly improved, and your control over heat has greatly improved.]
