Chapter 857: Chapter 858 Phase-3 Golden Pill_1

Meng Tiantian saw a surprised look flash across Song Jian’s face and said with a slight smile, “Take a look at your skill column, is there a new change?”

When Song Jian opened his skill column, he was shocked to find that his “Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision” had unexpectedly advanced to level 3;

Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision (Active), Level 3 (1%), Skill Effect: Summon 3-36 Spirit Swords, causing (number*140% weapon damage) points of damage to the target, and each Spirit Sword has a chance to deepen the damage to the target; Attack Range: 1000 meters; Skill Consumption: 110 points of Invisible Sword Qi; Skill Cooldown: 10 seconds; Skill Description: This skill is one of the core skills of the Swordsman Immortal profession, condensing myriad Spirit Swords, gathering myriad sword techniques, Qi filling heaven and earth, Sword Qi pointing in all directions, thousands of swords staring down, mountains crumbling, seas splitting, heavens turning, and earth overturning! This skill cannot be improved through mastery but only by consuming other skills/skill books!

“It, it actually advanced a level?” Song Jian said in surprise.

One must know that the Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision can only be improved by consuming other skills, and the higher the skill level and tier, the more mastery gained;

But now, a so-called Pure Heart Tea had actually increased the Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision by one level, which made Song Jian feel an unexpected delight;

...

“What, it only advanced one level?” Meng Tiantian’s face showed a puzzled expression, and it took a while before she came to a realization and said, “It seems that your skill has a pretty high tier, at least a gold quality or above, right?”

Song Jian smiled slightly but did not answer, his eyes and eyebrows however, could not hide his sheer joy.

“Is this tea for sale?” Song Jian pointed at the porcelain jar next to Meng Tiantian, where the tea leaves were placed, and asked;

“Pure Heart Tea works best the first time you drink it, afterwards, the effect decreases with each subsequent use, and it will not enhance the skill level anymore, only entering an ‘Epiphany’ state, and after ten times, it will become a regular beverage!” Meng Tiantian explained.

“Even so, it’s worth a fortune. One leaf can save several skill points; a trade like this, I believe many players would be happy to make!” Song Jian said with a smile;

“Sure, one piece of Cuibao bamboo leaf for one leaf of Pure Heart Tea!” Meng Tiantian said with a sly look in her eyes, smiling.

Song Jian was about to agree but suddenly felt something was amiss, and turned his head to look at the potted plant placed on the windowsill;

It was a plant over a foot long with iron-blue stems, robust and powerful, reflecting a metallic luster as it curved upward, resembling clouds and mist, with green-black leaves the size of fingertips growing on it;

The potted plant at first glance seemed nothing special, but Song Jian could smell the fragrance emanating from this plant, which was exactly the same as the aroma of the Pure Heart Tea he had drunk before;

Following Song Jian’s gaze, Meng Tiantian turned her head to look and her face changed dramatically when she saw that plant, and she cursed under her breath, “Damn, how could I have placed it there!”

“Oh, well, let’s talk about a collaboration!” Meng Tiantian clapped her hands and said to Song Jian, “Maybe you want to see me personally crafting a batch of Vitality Pills, to see how effective they are?”

Song Jian withdrew his gaze and smiled, “Of course, I hope it will turn out as we expected!”

“No problem, in fact, pill refining is even more complex than medicine making. First, you must have an alchemy furnace like this one, the Four-Direction Divine Beast Furnace, a tier-3 alchemy furnace, capable of refining pills up to the third grade. It can also refine fourth-grade pills, but the failure rate would increase significantly!” Meng Tiantian pointed at the bronze furnace that was burning with fierce flames as she spoke;

“Don’t you need to be present during the pill refining process?” Song Jian was quite surprised; he knew that even with his portable medicine-making station, he had to be present during the concoction process, or else the success rate of the potions would be frighteningly low.

“Of course, I can temporarily leave during the medicine-making process as long as I control the heat well. I only need to keep a close eye on it at the very end. After all, collecting the pills requires a special technique that relates to the final quality and quantity of the pills!” Meng Tiantian explained.

As they were talking, the alchemy furnace, which had been still up until now, began to vibrate slightly. The white smoke emanating from it got thicker, and the cluster of white mist flowers that had formed above the furnace started to dissipate quickly, replaced by ferocious beasts made of condensed mist, all making fierce growling and roaring motions;

One after another, beasts made of white mist formed and dissipated, with not a single beast resembling another;

At this moment, Meng Tiantian swiftly walked to the front of the alchemy furnace, her right hand quickly forming seals, and streaks of spiritual light burst forth from her fingertips, continually touching the alchemy furnace;

As the spiritual light collided with the alchemy furnace, ripples of light pulsated outward. Soon, the alchemy furnace started to become transparent, revealing the scene inside;

Inside, a mass of golden liquid was churning within the furnace. As more spiritual light struck the furnace, the rolling golden solution began to shake and, in a short while, turned into dozens of droplets the size of fingernails.

Each droplet shook as if trying to merge together, but soon enough, a droplet would burst with a “pop,” turning into a clump of black residue that fell to the bottom of the furnace;

One by one, the droplets all broke apart over time, turning into black slag. At this point, Meng Tiantian, drenched in sweat, continued to strike the furnace with spiritual light;

Eventually, nearly all the liquid droplets disappeared, and in the furnace, only the last droplet remained intact, solidifying slowly and eventually forming a round, smooth pill that rolled continuously along the furnace’s inner wall;

“Out!” Accompanied by a light shout from Meng Tiantian, the lid of the furnace made a muffled “thud.” A rich fragrance emanated from inside the furnace, the lid automatically popped open, and the golden pill that had been revolving inside was ejected. When it met the air, it quickly solidified, and its color began to change;

The previously rich golden hue, as if it was all retracted into the pill itself, now exuded only a faint golden luminescence;

“I’ve finally succeeded once!” Meng Tiantian looked at the pill in her palm, her eyes showing a relieved expression, “The Phase-3 Golden Pill, I’ve finally refined the Phase-3 Golden Pill!”

A joyful smile appeared on Meng Tiantian’s face. Ignoring the pill’s residual warmth, she immediately took the pill to a cubicle, dropped it into a teacup, and then poured Enlightenment Tea over it. When the pill had completely dissolved into a cup of light golden liquid, Meng Tiantian grabbed the teacup and swallowed the pill fluid in one gulp, almost exactly replicating Song Jian’s earlier performance with the Enlightenment Tea.
