Chapter 285: Nine-nine, Eighty-one Refinent
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
More haste, less speed!
Alchemy was an extrely profound skill. If there was just a little bit of error, in better situations, one’s efforts would go down the drain. However, in more serious situations, both the furnace and the person would be destroyed.
The more this was so, the more Feng Lin wouldn’t be anxious and would remain calm and composed instead.
When his mind was calm, with no hints of ripples at all, he started getting to work.
Lighting up the furnace!
Feng Lin ford a seal with his fingers, and a hint of purple sparks shot out from them. The faint sparks contained extrely scorching heat energy. The mont it landed into the furnace, the furnace was instantly lit up, erupting blazing flas.
Open furnace!
He slapped his palm onto the furnace and with a popping sound, the lid flew out.
Dragon-leaf Grass!
Ten blades of the mysterious grass with scales, head, and a tail like that of a dragon were tossed into the furnace. They were rapidly refined into residue, leaving behind only a lump of green liquid beads.
Mystic Yin Water!
Feng Lin used his ntal power to extract 100 milliliters of Mystic Yin Water into the air, turning them into a liquid arrow and sinking them into the green liquid beads. They rapidly expanded, condensing into ice crystals. Even when scorched by the flas, they didn’t lt at all and were emitting bone-piercing chill.
He quickly ford seals, and flas erupted out with a bang, turning into blue flas that lted everything.
The mystic ice finally started to lt, bit by bit, once again turning into a greenish-black liquid.
Life Replenishing Paste!
A paste-like item was placed into the flas, combining into one with the liquid, turning into a gel-like substance that emitted intense vitality.
The Life Replenishing Paste was a rare mysterious item in the universe, a paste-like item produced by a 10,000-year beauty jade. It contained spiritual qi and was a rare item that could strengthen one’s vitality. Even a person who was on their deathbed would be able to hold onto their lives for an entire day and have enough ti to take care of the matters following their deaths.
After adding this item, the marrow-cleansing pill’s form was slowly starting to take shape. It emitted a strange fragrance that caused one’s blood and vital energy to seethe, their body to feel restless. It was showing so signs of its dicinal effects.
However, this was not a success.
A real pill dicine had chaos as a seamless whole, not leaking any aura at all. Even when held in the hand, there wouldn’t be any sll. It would look like a lifeless object but conceal deep vitality within.
Purplestar Sand!
Sand-like material scattered down and it glimred like stars. They were instantly roasted into liquid, dripping onto the gel-like substance.
Gloomy Termination Pearl, Blood Dipper Jade, Soul srizing Flower...
Feng Lin’s hands kept on moving, adding in all sorts of ingredients according to a certain order.
The temperature of the flas continued to rise until it reached an extrely high degree, arriving at an incandescent state.
The gel-like sphere started to contract, turning into a spherical form. The dicinal effects combined completely, and there were no impurities at all.
All that was left was the last refining step.
Light up the fla!
Flas perated the entire furnace, filling up the entire stretch of space.
Close furnace!
Feng Lin put his hands together and the furnace’s lid suddenly closed, locking in the flas.
After passing through eight air vents, he could see a spherical object rolling and spinning rapidly in the furnace.
The sphere’s coarse surface was gradually smoothed out by the tempering from the flas.
The strange sll in the air also gradually lightened. This wasn’t a sign of failure. Instead, it was a sign that the dicinal effects were slowly being restrained. It ant that success wasn’t far off.
Nine-nine, eighty-one refinent!
The more the situation was as such, the more he mustn’t slacken.
The concoction technique for every pill was different. There were unique techniques for each of them.
The marrow-cleansing pill required performing a total of 81 changes to the flas, tempering the pill repeatedly. This would remove every bit of impurities in the marrow-cleansing pill, arriving at a 100% purity state.
Only like this would the marrow-cleansing pill not bring about any side effects after consumption, allowing for the strengthening of the body’s spirit and essence.
The pill’s success was imminent.
Feng Lin beca even more careful, his hands moving like butterflies that were dancing and fluttering amongst flowers. It was a beautiful sight with a profound rhythm.
The flas in the furnace kept on surging due to his actions. The scorching flas scattered down like the spring rain that nourished all lives, seeping into the pill.
In the end, a golden and round pill dicine gradually took form in the flas.
At the sight of this, Feng Lin was overjoyed. His act of forming seals with his hands slowed down a little. Thus, the flas imdiately erupted, releasing an impact that caused a stifled sound to ring out in the furnace.
The pill dicine was instantly engulfed by the flas and disappeared without a trace.
“This is bad!” He shouted in his heart and was about to stop his actions, but he was already too slow.
The pill completely exploded, turning into smoke and releasing a fragrant fog that dissipated into the air.
Just a slight tremble when forming the seals had caused the pill that was about to take form to go to waste. The amount of care required was above that of concocting gene potions.
If he were to concoct pills with the sa ntality he did in creating gene potions, it would be a huge mistake.
The creation of gene potions was primarily dependent on the ratio of liquid dicine. Adjustnts could be made at any mont while observing the changes to the dicinal properties.
However, alchemy concoction was to refine using flas. Success was gained at one go. There mustn’t be any mistakes, or failure would be guaranteed.
It was because the art of alchemy required such great precision that it needed to be supported by ntal probing. It was impossible to succeed by relying on feeling alone.
Due to the high requirents, the effects of the pill dicine would also far surpassed that of gene potions.
The crucial point was that one failure didn’t an anything.
Feng Lin cald down and once again started the refining process.
Dragon-leaf Grass, Mystic Yin Water, Life Replenishing Paste... He added the ingredients into the furnace in the designated order and the flas changed accordingly, tempering and bringing out the optimum state of the dicinal properties. They then integrated together, turning into a single entity.
Very soon, the semi-completed gel-like pill dicine was once again refined.
Close furnace!
Feng Lin put his hands together and the furnace’s lid suddenly closed, locking in the flas.
This ti around, he didn’t dare to let down his guard anymore. Without being affected by external factors, he closed his eyes and used only his spirit force to sense the changes of the pill dicine.
He made nine-nine, eighty-one changes to his hands as he ford the seal, refining with each change!
The pill beca increasingly concentrated and the dicinal properties combined into a single entity, unable to be separated. They were locked into the many small pearls.
When he opened his eyes once again, the fire prowess dissipated and a golden pill dicine was floating in the furnace.
Feng Lin beckoned with his hand and the furnace’s lid opened naturally, with the pill dicine floating out and landing in his hand.
A pill dicine was like a material item, seeming as if forged from tal. It radiated precious light and was tough as tal, hard to be destroyed.
If an ordinary person was to swallow such a powerful item, they would die from swallowing tal even if they didn’t die from the impact of the dicinal properties.
He wondered what profoundness those legendary pills in myths and legends had to be able to let ordinary people rise trendously.
Before he arrived at that stage, it’d be useless to think too much about it.
Feng Lin didn’t ponder too much and appreciated the dicinal prowess of the marrow-cleansing pill. He discovered that the concoction had undoubtedly been a success.
He didn’t give it much thought and just swallowed it.
The mont the seemingly material pill dicine entered his mouth, it instantly turned into a lava-like current that suddenly erupted. Endless heat energy seeped into all parts of his body: his blood and flesh, internal organs, bones...
His spine was like a dragon, seething endlessly. A large amount of the cells in his bone marrow split up into the most primitive stem cells, replenishing any minute parts of the human body.
The hidden injuries from the countless fights and massacres were all fixed; his body reached a flawless state. It started to beco stronger at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
There was this saying in ancient terminology: Only by swallowing a single pill did I know that my destiny is in my hands and not in heaven’s control. Only when my destiny is within my control could a golden lotus be planted amidst the fire [1].
Although Feng Lin had yet to reach such a phenonal level, he had already grasped a bit of it.
[1] A golden lotus that is grown from fire is said to be extrely rare and hard to co by.
