Chapter 22 Pill Refining Inheritance
Since the day a Foundation Establishment Cultivator visited, Wang Yu had been playing the role of a doorman, with friends from Dantai Chan's circle coming to find her from time to time.
Most of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, or some Qi Condensation Juniors.
More importantly, Dantai Chan was a Second Rank, Middle Grade Alchemist with exquisite skills and a wide circle of friends, which also allowed Wang Yu to get to know many people in this circle.
Although none of them took him to heart, if he needed something in the future, at least he would know some people and could find ways to build connections.
Information is a relatively scarce resource in a social environment.
Moreover, as producers in the Demonic Path environment, their status was vaguely higher, and of course, there were also more covetous gazes, and their wealth inevitably attracted attention.
Wang Yu's ninety-fifth day of Outer Sect life.
"Night Concealment Spell!"
As a High-Grade Magic Art, it corresponded to the Late Qi Condensation Stage. Upon reaching Perfection in Cultivation, it could even deceive the Spiritual Sense of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The Night Concealment Spell had two Effects.
Concealing Cultivation Realm, hiding Aura, and becoming one with nature!
The latter was its main Effect, while the former was just an expansion of its concealment ability, with even better Effects when used at night.
After reaching Perfection in its Cultivation, a black Talisman-like pattern appeared on Wang Yu's chest. It would activate when Spirit Power was poured into it. Even when not activated, it would make him walk silently, breathe without a sound, and even the fluttering of his clothes would be noiseless.
The only flaw was that the Spirit Power consumption was too high. With his current Cultivation Level, it could only last for half an incense stick's time at most. This point would gradually disappear as his Cultivation Level increased, so it was not a big problem.
[Placement Slot 2: Night Concealment Spell (Perfection)]
[Night Concealment Spell (100/100): Twelve hours of daily practice, eight years to achieve.]
The newly emerged description should be the Placement time for a higher level, five years longer than the Ice Sword Technique, so there was no rush to use it.
With this spell for protection, Wang Yu's concealment was greatly improved. Therefore, he replaced the Ice Shield Technique, which was only a Mid Grade Magic Art and a set with the Cultivation Method *Cold Blood Technique*, with the former. The two complemented each other.
[Placement Slot 2: Ice Shield Technique]
[Ice Shield Technique (12/100): One hundred and forty-four practices a day, twenty-six days to achieve.]
These 12 points of progress were the result of his research over the past three months. According to this standard, if he wanted to comprehend Perfection on his own, it would probably take decades.
The unreasonable aspect of the Placement Slot was that not only was it practicing all the time, but it was also making progress every time.
As Wang Yu's understanding of it grew, he felt it was more and more powerful.
"It's time to exchange for the Pill Refining Inheritance."
As for the *Corpse Demon Secret Art*, Wang Yu was still in a dilemma. Placing this Art would inevitably cause various abnormalities in his body, and he still needed time to consider it.
It would be better to study Alchemy first. He had a Cold Blood Pill Formula in his hand. If he could refine it, his Cultivation Level progress would be greatly accelerated, making it worth a try.
The Frost Ice Nine Leaf Grass in Dantai Chan's Herb Garden was the main Spirit Herb for refining the Cold Blood Pill. He could discuss buying some and slowly gather a set of materials.
After completing his daily field patrol, Wang Yu went out to the Various Halls Market.
Scripture Repository Hall.
Alchemy, Artifact Crafting, Talisman Crafting, and Formation Array were the four most respected learning skills in Cultivation. In this regard, the Orthodox Path was slightly better.
And there were different categories of Alchemy, with the difference between the Fire Refinement Method and the Water Refinement Method.
Fire Refinement Method, using the high temperature of flames to extract the essence of Spirit Materials, using the Principle of Yin-Yang Harmony to extract the parts needed for oneself, and then forming pills. It was fast and effective.
Water Refinement Method, using the characteristic of water to gently nourish Myriad Things, penetrating deep into the interior of Spirit Materials, slowly precipitating out the Medicinal Essence needed for oneself, and then forming pills. It was slow, had good Effects, and an extremely high Pill Yield Rate.
There was no difference in quality between the Elixir Pills refined by the two methods, only the difference in speed.
In terms of Pill Yield Rate, nine was the extreme number.
The limit for one furnace of Spirit Pills from one set of Spirit Herbs was nine pills.
The Water Refinement Method could be stably maintained at seven to eight pills, which was still an average value, but it often took several years to refine one furnace of Spirit Pills. The higher the Grade of the Elixir Pills, the longer it took, making it impossible to supply on a large scale.
The upper and lower limits of the Fire Refinement Method varied greatly. A poor furnace would only yield one to three pills, while a better one could reach four to six pills. Only a Master Alchemist could refine nine pills.
Of course—
This was also related to the familiarity with the Pill Formula. There were many factors that affected Fire Refinement Method Alchemists, such as Fire Control Hand Seals, Spiritual Sense intensity, Alchemy skills, pharmacological attainments… and so on.
The Fire Refinement Method was undoubtedly suitable for Wang Yu, and it was also the path generally chosen by Alchemists. The base of Cultivators was large, and the low-Grade Elixir Pill market was huge, with supply falling short of demand.
Water Refinement Method Alchemists, on the other hand, were slow and had a high rate of high-quality products. Their market was high-end, mostly customized services, and one transaction could last for three years.
Slowly walking past the bookshelves in the Scripture Repository Hall.
"*Fire Cauldron Alchemy Art*, *Pearl Spit Alchemy Art*, *Human Pill Art*, *Nine Refinements Alchemy Art*, *Flame Pill Art*…"
Wang Yu was not very satisfied with what he saw along the way.
Either the price was too high, or the description was too one-sided, and the Inheritance was not complete enough.
A complete set of Pill Refining Inheritance must come with a unique Pill Formula, plus a set of Fire Control Hand Seals and Pill Condensation Seal, which was the embodiment of its value.
"*Cold Flame Alchemy Art*——"
Wang Yu paused, took down the Jade Slip introducing it, and after checking it, he went to the Dharma Teaching Hall with satisfaction. It was exactly the price of one thousand Contribution Points.
He chose it because its rare Yin-Cold Attribute Fire Method was very suitable for the path Wang Yu was currently taking. In addition, it was also a remnant Art of the Third Rank Pill Refining Inheritance.
The remaining unique Pill Formula was only one, named [Cold Dragon Pill].
Effect: After taking and refining the pill, a 〈Cold Dragon Fire Seed〉 can be conceived in the body, allowing one to master a kind of Cold Attribute flame power, which improves synchronously with the Cultivator's Cultivation Realm.
This Effect was no less than a Core Formation Cultivator's Natal Magic Treasure.
This Pill Formula alone was extremely valuable, and its refining difficulty must be very high. Wang Yu was attracted to its difficulty.
In addition, the attached Fire Control Hand Seals and Pill Condensation Seal only had parts of the First Rank, which were severely incomplete, so the exchange price was only one thousand Contribution Points.
This level was enough for Wang Yu to use, and the Placement Slot could break through the upper limit of Technique, perhaps even able to complete the remnant Art. This time, he could use the *Cold Flame Alchemy Art* to experiment. If it could really be completed,
he would no longer hesitate to place the *Corpse Demon Secret Art*.
It was killing two birds with one stone and also very compatible with the *Cold Blood Technique*.
When he came out of the Dharma Teaching Hall, the most valuable Token on him had been handed in. Next, he would have to rely on himself to earn Spirit Stones and Contribution Points.
Returning to the Herb Garden in Evil God Market, Wang Yu began to comprehend the Cold Flame Alchemy Art on his own. The speed was very slow, but he was also working hard.
On the one hundred and twenty-fifth day of his Outer Sect life, after perfecting the Ice Shield Technique in a whole month, he then placed the Alchemy Art in the Placement Slot.
[Placement Slot 2: Cold Flame Alchemy Art (Remnant Art)]
[Cold Flame Alchemy Art (0/100): Twelve practices a day, one year to achieve.]
This was the first time Wang Yu had seen a Placement item that could only be practiced twelve times a day, which was once every hour, and it would take a full year to reach Perfection.
