Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 792 - 0: Refining the Nascent Soul Pill_1

Whew...

Zhang Bin's Pill Fire fiercely blazed against the Alchemy Furnace. With a solemn expression, he placed the medicinal ingredients inside one by one. He added the Spiritual Water as well. He constantly manipulated the ingredients, causing them to tumble within the furnace. He continuously extracted the medicinal impurities, which fell to the ground and emitted white smoke. A peculiar, sweet fragrance began to fill the air.

All the disciples watched, completely spellbound. Their faces were etched with anticipation and exhilaration.

After all, Zhang Bin was refining the famously precious Elixir—the Nascent Soul Pill.

This type of Elixir was not even for sale at the Hero Auction. Any Sect that successfully refined such an Elixir would treat it as its most guarded treasure. It would be passed down through generations until the Sect produced a Supreme Genius who had cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm. Only then would they be allowed to consume it.

If they managed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Sect would gain a supreme expert, allowing it to look down on the entire world.

After about three hours, the refinement process was finally nearing its end. Zhang Bin, however, was on the verge of collapse. His entire body was drenched in sweat. Refining was incredibly draining on his spiritual power, requiring him to constantly tumble the ingredients, control the heat, and extract the impurities. If one's spiritual power was not strong enough, they simply could not last until the end.

Typically, only Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would attempt to refine a Nascent Soul Pill. Because they had already cultivated a Nascent Soul, which was akin to cultivating a second self, their souls and spiritual power were exceptionally formidable. This gave them the confidence to succeed in Alchemy. Therefore, a small Sect without any Nascent Soul Cultivators wouldn't have the ability to refine the Elixir, even if they obtained the ingredients.

A heaven-defying Cultivator like Zhang Bin was exceedingly rare, after all.

Even if Li Taiqing cultivated his Pill Fire to over 20,000 degrees, successfully refining a Nascent Soul Pill would still be incredibly difficult, and the success rate would be low. The most likely outcome would be a wasted furnace of medicinal ingredients.

If not for the fact that Zhang Bin had consumed a Wisdom Pill and obtained a miraculous gourd from the Innate Spiritual Vine—which helped purify his soul—his spiritual power would never have become so strong. He would not have had the ability to refine a Nascent Soul Pill while only at the Mid-phase of the Seed Condensing Realm.

An even richer fragrance wafted out, and a single breath was enough to make one feel euphoric.

BOOM...

Suddenly, layers of dark clouds gathered in the sky above. Lightning flickered rapidly within them.

"Heavens, it's the Pill Tribulation! He succeeded!"

All the Taiqing Sect Disciples became ecstatic. Li Taiqing, in particular, was dancing with joy. Xiao Qian, who was also watching from the crowd, couldn't even hold him back; her words had no effect.

He's losing all his composure!

How could Xiao Qian possibly know how precious the Nascent Soul Pill was? Five hundred years ago, Li Taiqing had desperately yearned for a single Nascent Soul Pill, but his wish never came true. And now, his son-in-law, Zhang Bin, was about to refine an entire furnace of them—nine Nascent Soul Pills in total!

"Bring it on, Pill Tribulation."

Excitement and eagerness flashed across Zhang Bin's face. He knew clearly that because the Nascent Soul Pill had heaven-defying effects—allowing a Cultivator's Golden Core to transform into a Nascent Soul, vastly increasing their power and extending their lifespan to at least a thousand years—a Pill Tribulation would descend to destroy such an Elixir.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying echoed from within the Alchemy Furnace. It was so lifelike it was indistinguishable from the cries of a real infant.

Then, the lid of the Alchemy Furnace was blasted open by a great force. An Elixir shot out, transforming into a little golden figure that fled toward the sky at lightning speed. It moved so fast that even Zhang Bin couldn't react in time.

"My God, this Elixir has gained sentience! It's trying to escape!"

All the Taiqing Sect Disciples were completely dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

Zhang Bin, however, was not surprised. He knew that the Nascent Soul Pill was an incredibly heaven-defying Elixir; upon successful refinement, it would transform into a baby and try to flee. If it managed to escape, it would become a new form of life. In the future, it could even Devour Spiritual Medicines to cultivate on its own. With enough luck and after devouring enough Spiritual Medicines, it might even ascend to the Immortal Realm. He had, of course, read about this in Laozi's Jade Scroll.

Therefore, Zhang Bin acted as if he hadn't seen a thing and continued to control the temperature of the flames, intending to nurture the second Elixir.

Just as the little golden figure was about to escape, a blinding bolt of lightning shot out from the dark clouds, striking it dead-on.

"AHH..."

The little golden figure let out a piercing scream. It tumbled out of the sky, rapidly shrinking back into an Elixir the size of a peanut, shaped like a tiny baby.

Li Taiqing shot forward like a bolt of lightning, his right hand darting out to snatch it from the air. He examined it excitedly and exclaimed, "Wonderful! It wasn't destroyed! It's a true Nascent Soul Pill!"

Yes, a newly refined Nascent Soul Pill had to withstand a terrifying lightning strike. Usually, the Elixir would be incinerated. However, if the quality of the Nascent Soul Pill was high enough, it could endure the Heavenly Tribulation and become a true Elixir. There were even legends of spectacularly mighty Nascent Soul Pills that could still fly and transform after withstanding a lightning strike, escaping without a trace. But that was merely a legend; no one had ever witnessed such a thing.

"Fantastic! This is truly fantastic! At the very least, we've refined one Nascent Soul Pill!"

Overcoming their shock, all the Taiqing Sect Disciples were overcome with excitement.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Along with loud, piercing cries, three more Elixirs transformed into little golden figures and shot out of the Alchemy Furnace, fleeing in different directions.

"Holy shit! They have Spiritual Intelligence! Their coordination is perfect!"

Everyone was stunned, their faces masks of astonishment. They had never witnessed such a strange phenomenon before.

However, they could not escape the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation. With three loud rumbles, three bolts of lightning shot down from the sky, mercilessly striking the three small figures. They fell screaming, turning back into Elixirs.

Li Taiqing naturally caught them and gleefully placed them into a Jade Vial. Without a doubt, these three Elixirs were of sufficient quality—they were true Nascent Soul Pills.

This sent the Taiqing Sect Disciples into thunderous cheers.

Immediately after, four more Elixirs escaped the Alchemy Furnace, endured the Heavenly Tribulation, and became Nascent Soul Pills, which Li Taiqing collected in his Jade Vial.

The ninth Elixir, however, was taking its time and had yet to emerge. It seemed the refinement had failed.

A look of frustration appeared on Zhang Bin's face. He knew that every single Nascent Soul Pill was immensely valuable. To fail on even one was a huge loss.

Therefore, he decisively bit his finger and squeezed two drops of blood into the furnace. They landed precisely on the last Elixir.

His blood was far from ordinary. It had absorbed Dragon Qi, and traces of it still lingered within. This was beneficial for the formation of the Elixir. The alchemical methods recorded in the Jade Scroll noted that adding Spiritual Blood to an Elixir could increase the success rate of its formation.

Then, a miracle occurred, one that Zhang Bin would never forget for the rest of his life
