Chapter 298: Alchemy Technique Advancement, Comprehension Skyrockets!
[Storage Slot 3: Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art (Third Grade/Perfection/Deriving…)]
"Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art (0/100): One furnace per ten days, one hundred and fifty years to advance."
Advance further, and it will be Rank 4.
After a simple check, Wang Yu then removed them all from Machine Slots 3 to 6. Currently, this stage is enough for now.
Unless he wants to refine Nascent Soul Pill, then there will be a need to improve it.
A series of operations.
[Storage Slot 3: Yin Nether Demon Dragon Skill]
[Storage Slot 4: Little Shura Killing Fist]
[Storage Slot 5: Ancient Soul Art]
[Storage Slot 6: Vast Cold Twelve Aspects]
With such an arrangement, every so often, he could feel information feedback from the Storage Slots to his mind, immediately relieving his brain, which was solely focused on Pill Refining.
Digestion was complete!
Machine Slot No. 6 remains a flexible arrangement. Once the Vast Cold Twelve Aspects is mastered, it will be the Aurora Escape Technique, Ice Soul Divine Light... and various Tier 3 Mystical Art arrangements.
Extremely busy.
The Advancement of his Alchemy Art consumed over three years. During this time, Wang Yu's Cultivation Level also progressed rapidly, his Mana accumulated to 1236 units, and with another three and a half years of Cultivation, he would be able to reach the Peak of the Fourth Level.
"Heavenly Spirit Root is truly amazing!"
Currently, apart from replacing the Cooperation Method, the urgent task is to refine a Supreme Grade [Exquisite Inner Core].
He relies on the Comprehension increased by this kind of Medicinal Pills to make his living.
"Golden Spiritual Root, Filth Spiritual Root, Hundred Herb Spiritual Root, Seven Apertures Spiritual Root…"
Continue Pill Refining!
After restarting the furnace, Wang Yu skillfully released the Ice Dragon Pill Flame, ignited the Starfall Cold Furnace, multitasking, and used the Twelve Flame Spirit Seal to control the fire.
Gradually and continuously, he burned the four types of Spiritual Root into the shape he desired.
Refining, Fusion, Pill Condensation, Pill Nourishment.
The four steps connected seamlessly, his technique was so perfect as if he had refined the Exquisite Inner Core countless times, precisely completing the key Nodes of each stage.
Anyone who saw it would praise it as the Peak of Perfection!
After nourishing the pill for several days, an Exotic Fragrance drilled into his mind. Just smelling the pill fragrance made him feel Refreshed, and those difficult problems lingering in his mind seemed to have solutions.
"Bang——"
As Wang Yu opened the lid of the Pill Furnace with a palm strike.
A peculiar Pill emitting seven-colored light floated out. Its color was like colored glaze, and it was born with seven apertures, from which colored Qi Substance continuously emerged.
These Qi Substance did not dissipate but drilled from one aperture to another, continuously cycling back and forth, which was extremely magical.
This was the Ancient Era rare Pill he had collected for almost sixty years!
Suppressing the urge to swallow it and the impulse for Sudden Enlightenment on the spot, he took several deep breaths, calmed the excitement in his heart, and composed himself for a while.
After properly storing the Exquisite Inner Core and cleaning the Pill Furnace, Wang Yu continued Pill Refining.
This time, it was a Third Grade Cultivation Level Spirit Pill - [Broad Cold Pill]!
This thing, benefiting from the Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art's bonus, after being refined into Supreme Grade, its Effect can also be increased by fifty percent. The time to refine one is three years, and a total of 150 units of Magical Power can be increased.
Note that the unit is 'shares'.
Meaning 1500 units, 15000 strands!
Just one Supreme Grade Broad Cold Pill could save him more than two thousand days of arduous Cultivation. This also accounts for the Efficiency of the Storage Slots. If the two are combined.
Before the Medicinal Power is fully refined, he will be able to Breakthrough to the Fifth Level of the Core Formation Stage.
According to the characteristic of Top Grade Spirit Pills, where only three pills are produced per furnace, it could help him enter the Late Core Formation Stage at an extremely fast speed, plus the Fortuitous Encounter snatched from Wen Hua.
At first glance, it doesn't seem far from the Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, this is still just imagination. The Effect of Medicinal Pills fluctuates, and the actual effect will likely be between 140 and 150 units.
When refining Medicinal Pills, the increase in his True Body's Cultivation will be replaced by the act of refining, although the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Bed is still effective.
Overall, it could still greatly elevate his Cultivation Level.
The refinement of the Broad Cold Pill was also smooth.
After all, regardless of whether it was the Exquisite Inner Core or the Broad Cold Pill, Wang Yu had thoroughly researched both Pill Formulas over the past few years, just waiting to skyrocket!
As expected, this furnace produced three pills, all of which were Supreme Grade.
One ten days later.
Wang Yu first swallowed a Broad Cold Pill and circulated his Cultivation Method to begin refining it. Those strands of pure Medicinal Power transformed into pure Cold Yin Magical Power, which he then absorbed.
Indeed, it was multiple times faster than his own Cultivation.
After experiencing it for a few days, he then ignored it and took out the Exquisite Inner Core and swallowed it. At that instant, Wang Yu's Comprehension was permanently increased.
And he entered the "Enlightenment State," his mind sharp and quick. When encountering any Difficult Problem, he could understand it after a little thought. In this state, the [Vast Cold Twelve Aspects] was naturally his primary Comprehending Goal.
In the Cultivation Chamber.
Merely a few Two-Hour Periods had passed, and a phantom image of a frost moon rose behind Wang Yu's head. Its size continuously expanded, and a Large Amount of frost spread from the spot where he sat cross-legged.
It quickly turned the Cultivation Chamber into an ice room.
The frost moon soared into the sky, continuously revolving above his Immortal's Cave, scattering more frost light, and freezing several Palace-style Buildings.
This Wonder involuntarily attracted the attention of his neighbor next door.
Xue Ying looked at the Strange Phenomena above Wang Yu's Immortal's Cave. Her palm involuntarily clenched tightly with extremely high force, but it only lasted for a brief instant before she suddenly released it.
Her face still held that look of pure and natural smile.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Yu seems to have gained something. It is fitting to offer congratulations."
However.
This state, comparable to Sudden Enlightenment, would last for a long time under the Medicinal Pill's effect. After the Vast Cold Twelve Aspects smoothly reached entry level and met the requirements for engraving into his Core Formation.
All Strange Phenomena completely vanished.
This time it was the Aurora Escape Technique. The aurora curtain replaced the Frost Moon Wonder, making the sky above Wang Yu's Immortal's Cave magnificent, with colors continuously and unpredictably changing.
Momentarily, it turned light green, and then it shifted towards purple again.
Unpredictable and profoundly infinite.
This time, the duration was slightly longer. After the Aurora Escape Technique reached entry level, there were no more obvious Strange Phenomena. Instead, White Light containing Extreme Cold Power began to spread within Wang Yu's Immortal's Cave.
It was precisely the Ice Soul Divine Light!
This Mystical Power has infinite Potential, even surpassing the Aurora Escape Technique. It was also the Mystical Power that Wang Yu had comprehended the least. It took him a full several days to condense it into a straight ray of light.
With the entry of the three great Mystical Powers.
Wang Yu returned to comprehending the Vast Cold Twelve Aspects again. This time, no Strange Phenomena were generated. However, the size of the Frost Moon Phantom Image continued to grow as he comprehended it.
Moving towards the Minor Accomplishment Realm!
A month later.
The Enlightenment State from the Exquisite Inner Core ended. The Vast Cold Twelve Aspects was still a little short and failed to reach Minor Accomplishment. This made Wang Yu feel slightly regretful. He should have focused on comprehending the Greater Yin Nether Pupil's [Falling Moon] Mystical Power.
This Emotion only lasted for a short while before being replaced by Joy.
The Supreme Grade rank allowed the Exquisite Inner Core's Effect to be utilized to its limit. If he had only medium Comprehension before, now he possessed high Comprehension.
The Substance reflected was the Progress bar in the Storage Slots, all of which had been reduced to varying degrees.
[Storage Slot 4: Little Shura Killing Fist]
"Little Shura Killing Fist (80/100): Nine practices a day, ten years to Perfection."
Reduced by a full half!
The Nether Evil Corpse Refining Technique, Soul Vanquishing Finger, and Myriad Mile Tracking Stream were even more significantly reduced. Almost all of his Divine Ability Secret Techniques had their Needs reduced by half.
Even Cultivation Methods like the Ancient Soul Art and Prajna Heart Sutra had their Perfection time reduced by twenty to thirty years.
In summary.
A single Supreme-Grade Exquisite Inner Pill could at least save him half a Lifespan. The Gains were exaggeratedly large.
"Comprehension is indeed quite important. It seems... in the future, I must specifically search for knowledge in this area. The more, the better."
In his Cultivation until now.
From the [Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation] and the [Exquisite Inner Core], he had gained the greatest Benefit. Both were improvements to his True Body.
Through the Storage Slot amplification, all Benefits were magnified multiple times.
He rested for half an incense stick's time.
Just as he was preparing to accomplish it in one go and successfully cultivate his Natal Divine Ability, the Formation outside his Immortal's Cave was activated. Wang Yu's Divine Sense sensed it and immediately understood the Reason.
It would be better to deal with these miscellaneous matters first.
......
......
Xue Ying, Yan Ling, a Qiao Clan Core Formation Elder, plus Tantai Chan representing Yu Tangtang, all those who had Medicinal Pill cooperation with him had arrived.
Hmm~ Xue Ying was also present. She was simply there to offer congratulations.
This made Wang Yu feel somewhat strange. Previously, he had intentionally approached Xue Ying, wanting to spy on her secrets, but the progress was mediocre, and there was temporarily no Feedback or Harvesting.
While he had been entangled with affairs recently, the frequency of communication had inevitably greatly decreased. This time, Xue Ying's action of proactively approaching seemed somewhat suspicious in his eyes.
It's nothing more than Person Wang being equally suspicious of everyone.
He divided the people into two groups and first met with Xue Ying separately.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Yu, I hope you have been well."
"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Xue. Is there a reason for this visit?"
Seeing his gentle gaze, Xue Ying involuntarily spoke.
"Recently, Strange Phenomena have been continuously appearing at Fellow Daoist's Immortal's Cave. I presume you have had a major Breakthrough in your Cultivation. Xue Ying is here to offer congratulations, but... I do have a request."
"Please, speak freely."
"Last time, when Sister Yan Ling cooperated with Fellow Daoist, Xue Ying was studying from the sidelines but didn't speak up. Now that the Qiao Clan has also joined, I wonder... if the Xue Clan could establish a Cooperation Relationship with Fellow Daoist."
"I see. Please, follow me."
After realizing it was about business.
Wang Yu adopted a business-like attitude, led them to another place, and gathered together with Yan Ling, the Qiao Clan representative, and others. After the Advancement of his Alchemy Art, he wanted to change the Cooperation Method.
"Everyone, I can generally guess the reason for your arrival."
"However, Pill Refining consumes too much time. Person Wang cannot give up all his Cultivation time to constantly refine Medicinal Pills. Therefore, I want to change the Cooperation Method."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Ling involuntarily looked towards the Qiao Clan representative.
She said with implied meaning.
"Fellow Daoist Wang's Scruple is reasonable. Yan Ling also feels that there are somewhat too many people here. It would be better to continue our Cooperation..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Qiao Clan representative, who had just tasted the sweetness, became displeased and cupped his hands towards Wang Yu.
"Elder Wang, we Qiao Clan Elders highly value the agreement that Young Master Qiao Yu reached with you. The Pill Refining rewards have even been paid in advance. For this second round of Cooperation, the Qiao Clan will definitely participate."
Seeing the Situation so enthusiastic, Xue Ying immediately became somewhat hesitant.
She put on a look of consideration for Wang Yu.
"Since Brother Wang is so busy, perhaps the Xue Clan's Cooperation should be forgotten. Xue Ying is not one to force others."
Thousand faces for a thousand people. Within this nascent group of Beneficiaries.
Only Tantai Chan remained silent. There was no other reason... her Strength was too low. It was only because of her special Relationship with Wang Yu that she had been appointed as a representative by the Blood Eye Demon Dragon.
The other party certainly knew the Inside Story. Wang Yu also intended to help her retrieve the Human Slave Contract.
Xue Ying's words astonished everyone.
In an instant, it sparked even greater controversy.
