Chapter 188 Pill Refining the Soul Return Pill
Qin Ming happily watched the changes in the two Spirit Plants, feeling quite satisfied.
However, both of these Spirit Plants had been upgraded to Top Grade Second Tier, and their growth cycle was relatively long.
It would take at least ten years to harvest them.
However, for Qin Ming, this was not a big problem.
The Silver-Winged Frost Bee also flew out from the Beehive, its eyes filled with curiosity as it looked at the refreshed Tea Tree Forest and the purplish-blue Bamboo Forest in front of it.
It seemed to sense the even richer spiritual energy of Flora and Fauna emanating from within, and immediately ordered all the Spirit Bees in the Beehive to transform into streams of light and drill into the Bamboo Forest to patrol, checking if there were any pests who did not know what was good for them.
After using two [Bloodline Reversion] Entries, Qin Ming pondered for a moment, "Since I've already chosen to upgrade Spirit Tools, why not add more fire to it."
Then, with another thought, the [Spirit Plant Empowerment] Entry in his Sea of Consciousness instantly disappeared and merged into one of the Void Bamboos in front of him.
"This Entry can only be used on a single Spirit Plant individually."
The [Spirit Plant Empowerment] Entry, when used, could bestow a certain Spiritual Nature upon a Spirit Plant that was originally unremarkable.
In the next moment.
"Giggle giggle giggle!"
In Qin Ming's Affinity with Plants and Trees perception, the interior of that Void Bamboo actually transmitted the joyful laughter of a child.
"Whoa!"
"Could it be that Spirit Intelligence has been born?"
Qin Ming couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
He nervously tried to sense it again, but found that the laughter had disappeared without a trace.
Subsequently, Qin Ming discovered a grain-sized embryo flickering with a faint blue glow deep within the core of this Bamboo.
It seemed to be gestating some kind of strange existence.
Following the rhythm of Heaven and Earth, breathing in the spiritual energy of the outside world, constantly strengthening itself.
Qin Ming's expression was extremely excited, and he said with joy, "This Void Bamboo that has been imbued with spirit, it seems very likely that it will directly grow into a Third-Order Spirit Bamboo!"
As he spoke, he also reached out and stroked the Spirit Bamboo, and surprisingly felt a sense of intimacy transmitted back from the Spirit Bamboo.
"This"
Qin Ming also did not know what kind of Spiritual Nature this Entry had bestowed upon the Void Bamboo, and even he was a little unsure.
It seemed that the answer would only be revealed after it grew up.
…
Half a day later.
Wu Jiang finished delivering the letter and returned to Moon Gazing Island along with the Magic Boat of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have personally delivered the letter to Pavilion Lord Gu."
"And have informed her to expedite its handling."
"Pavilion Lord Gu said that there will be a reply at the latest in half a month."
After informing Qin Ming that the matter had been settled, he returned to the Island below in a somewhat distracted manner.
Qin Ming didn't need to think to know that Wu Jiang must have also been stimulated by the tragic scene outside.
When piles of Cultivator corpses were carried out, it was inevitable to have a feeling of empathy.
…
Half a month later.
Qin Ming asked Wu Jiang to make another trip to retrieve Su Yuqing's reply.
After receiving the reply Jade Slip, Qin Ming excitedly returned to his Cave Residence and checked the contents inside.
But when he saw Su Yuqing's reply clearly, he found that there were only a few words: "Brother Qin, this Pill is actually not as difficult to Pill Refinement as imagined, the reason for the Difficulty is not in the Pill Formula, but in the Alchemist himself.
Yan Changkong's repeated Pill Refinement failures are fundamentally due to his Divine Soul strength being insufficient, leading to his inability to finely control the fusion and blending of Medicinal Property, and not meeting the requirements for Pill Refining this Pill.
However, with Brother Qin's Divine Soul strength, Pill Refining the Soul Return Pill is naturally more than enough.
Brother Qin, no need to worry, you only need to boldly try Pill Refining it once, and let all the problems obediently surface.
The rest, you will know how to successfully Pill Refining this Pill."
…
Qin Ming couldn't help but complain after reading it, "That's it?!"
He had waited anxiously for more than half a month, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, that the Pill Success Rate of the Soul Return Pill actually depended on the Divine Soul strength of the Alchemist.
"Since Su Yuqing said that it won't fail, she definitely won't fool me, then let's start trying it." Qin Ming no longer hesitated, and took out the Mysterious Jade Furnace from the Storage Bag and placed it in front of him.
Then, he poured out all the Spirit Material that Wei Wuyai had given him.
Instantly.
Hundreds of High-Tier Spirit Material rare in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World all scattered, quietly floating around Qin Ming under the control of his powerful Divine Sense.
After these days of continuous research on the Pill Formula, he also had a clear understanding of the information of these Spirit Material.
With a thought of Qin Ming's Divine Sense, he divided this Spirit Material into a total of twelve portions according to the ratio of Pill Refining the Soul Return Pill.
Then he opened his mouth and sprayed, and the ice-blue Soul Devouring Poison Flame transformed into a Fire Bird and drilled into the bottom of the Mystic Jade Furnace, starting to evenly heat the Alchemy Furnace.
Immediately afterwards.
He began to extract Pill Embryo and prepare Medicinal Liquid in a familiar manner, these processes were as simple as daily meals for him, a Second-Order High-Grade Pill Dao Grandmaster.
But Qin Ming vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed something.
However, even though he noticed some anomalies, he did not stop the movements in his hands, and still went all the way to the final Pill Condensation stage.
Pfft!
From the Mysterious Jade Furnace, a burst of bluish-black smoke emerged, obviously Pill Refinement had failed.
Qin Ming raised his hand and took it, opened the Pill Furnace lid, poured out the pitch-black Medicine Dregs inside, and recalled the Pill Refinement process just now, observing thoughtfully.
After half a cup of tea.
Qin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and several places that he had been unable to understand before instantly became clear.
He cleared away the Medicine Dregs and started the second Pill Refinement again.
The previous steps were still as usual, but this time when it came to the Medicinal Liquid preparation step, Qin Ming began to make changes.
One of his split minds moved, and a ball of yellow Medicinal Liquid full of Earth Five Elements Attribute floated in front of him.
Then Qin Ming used his powerful Divine Sense to control the other Medicinal Liquids representing the Water, Wood, Fire, and Gold Five Elements Attribute in sequence of Five Elements Attribute mutual generation, and integrated them into the ball of Earth Five Elements Attribute Medicinal Liquid.
And it was this process that extremely tested the Cultivator's Divine Soul strength. A slight carelessness, a minor mistake, would cause the Medicinal Liquid inside to instantly change from Five Elements Attribute mutual generation to Five Elements Attribute mutual countering, causing conflicts between various attributes, leading to the final Pill Refinement failure.
More importantly, before entering the Pill Furnace for Pill Condensation, Divine Sense was also needed to control the stability of this ball of Medicinal Liquid.
Qin Ming abandoned distracting thoughts, focused wholeheartedly, and concentrated on Pill Refinement.
Gradually.
A ball of Medicinal Liquid emitting a five-colored halo intertwined in front of him, and the colors of the Five Elements Attribute constantly alternated and flickered.
Huff~ The most crucial step was completed, he carefully placed this ball of five-colored Medicinal Liquid into the Mystic Jade Furnace with Divine Sense control.
Boom! At the moment when the Medicinal Liquid entered the Pill Furnace, the Soul Devouring Poison Flame under the Pill Furnace suddenly increased in temperature.
Qin Ming's eyes were sharp, and he immediately performed Hand Seals to cast the Pill Fusion Art to carry out the final Pill Condensation step.
A full half an hour passed.
Chirp! A clear chirping sound representing Pill success came from inside the Pill Furnace.
But this time, there was no strange fragrance of Spirit Pill emanating.
Nor was there any Phenomenon of High-Tier Pills being successfully refined.
"That's not right? Could it be that Pill Refinement failed again?"
Qin Ming immediately raised his hand and reached into the Mysterious Jade Furnace, a Pill transformed into a stream of light and landed in his hand.
He spread out his palm and took a look, and was immediately stunned.
Because this Pill was colorless and tasteless, it was transparent! But he remembered the description of the Soul Return Pill on the Pill Formula, and couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Soul Return Pill, succeeded."
Pill Refining the Soul Return Pill successfully on the second try, if Elder Yan of the Thunder Origin Sect knew about this, he would probably be pissed to death.
Qin Ming put away this Soul Return Pill, and then began Pill Refining again.
"Since Ancestor Ao is going to fight the Demon desperately, naturally Common Quality Soul Return Pills cannot be used alone."
"Because according to the Pill Formula records, the Medicinal Power of Fine Quality Soul Return Pills can even burn through the Cultivator's Lifespan, and briefly raise their Cultivation to a Realm surpassing the Peak State."
"According to the Cultivation of Ancestor Ao of the Thunder Origin Sect, he might be able to briefly reach the Mid Core Formation Stage."
"In that case, the odds of winning against that Third-Order Blood Curse Demon Vine will increase a lot."
"Hehe! It can also be considered a surprise for the Thunder Origin Sect!"
