In Su Jingzhen’s opinion, refining first- and second-grade dicinal pills was a piece of cake for him and Xuening.
Wasn’t it even easier to explore the essence of alchemy?
If they wanted to condense the Dan Heart, refining familiar dicinal pills would be the best state.
However, this was just his assumption.
Upon hearing this, Dantai Mingjing patiently explained again, “As I said before, I only planned to let Xuening reach the level of a fourth-grade alchemist before attempting to sense the Dan Heart.”
“Throughout the history of alchemy in the cultivation world, there have indeed been first- and second-grade alchemists who have sensed the Dan Heart.”
“However, among all alchemists who have sensed the Dan Heart, they occupy a very small proportion. It’s like finding a phoenix feather or a unicorn’s horn.”
“This is determined by the alchemist’s innate talent, and another more important reason is that the principles of first- and second-grade dicinal pills are extrely simple and don’t involve many alchemical mysteries.”
“Only when you reach the third grade or above will you have more exploratory discussions and delve deeper into the essence of alchemy. Moreover, with your current alchemy skills, refining first- and second-grade dicinal pills should be effortless.”
“You can even refine high-quality or superior-quality pills at will. So, first- and second-grade dicinal pills hold little significance for you two.”
“Letting you use this ordinary furnace to refine a third-grade dicinal pill might be a bit challenging for you guys, but precisely because of this, you’ll be able to see your own essence more clearly.”
Dantai Mingjing’s words left Su Jingzhen speechless.
In that instant, he suddenly realized that when he was refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, his success rate wasn’t ideal.
The first thing that ca to his mind wasn’t to improve his alchemy skills, but to upgrade the quality of his furnace. At that ti, he did have an urgent desire to accumulate spirit stones, but wasn’t that also a form of escapism?
Dantai Mingjing’s words, although not earth-shattering, did make Su Jingzhen understand so things.
He imdiately bowed to Dantai Mingjing again.
Then, he looked at Xuening beside him.
“Since that’s the case, let’s begin, Miss Xuening.”
Xue Ning nodded slightly, and then the two of them each took a furnace, poured spiritual power into it, and a blazing fla rose.
The Fire control inscription on this furnace looks very simple, but the condensed fla is more violent.
Su Jingzhen and Xuening needed to allocate so of their attention to control the flas.
anwhile, Dantai Mingjing took out two sets of Heart-Calming Pill materials from his storage spirit tool and placed them in front of the two.
“Process these materials according to your usual alchemy thods. From this refinent onwards, I hope you can grasp the attitude of alchemy clearly.”
“In other professions, powerful sword cultivators have a firm sword heart, and powerful array masters have their own array heart.”
“A Dan Heart is hidden in the attitude of every alchemy attempt. The Dan Heart is profound and mysterious, and I can’t teach you how to obtain it directly.”
“It is also hidden in every detail, every mindset, and every alchemy attempt. If you succeed, you will naturally have an epiphany.”
As Dantai Mingjing said this, Su Jingzhen and Xuening had already roughly divided the tasks among themselves.
The Heart-Calming Pill required 13 dicinal materials, which seed ordinary to Su Jingzhen. However, through special refining thods, combining their properties would surprisingly reach the third grade, which was quite mysterious.
The two of them divided the tasks, with Su Jingzhen responsible for six dicinal materials and Xuening responsible for seven. Once they began, their expressions turned serious.
After sensing the dicinal materials according to the procedure, Su Jingzhen picked up a Three-Leaf Star God Grass. This Star God Grass looked fresh and needed to be refined to extract a drop of its juice.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and directly threw it into the furnace. On one hand, he controlled the simple inscription on the furnace to control the flas, and on the other hand, he focused on observing the changes in the Star God Grass.
The Three-Leaf Star God Grass wasn’t high-grade, and refining it wasn’t difficult for Su Jingzhen. Even with an ordinary furnace, he quickly refined it. The process took less than the ti it took to burn an incense stick.
Su Jingzhen’s expression remained serious as he picked up the nearby Hundred-Year Blood Vine. This Blood Vine also needed to be refined to extract its juice, using a very simple refining thod.
He was ticulous and quickly refined the Hundred-Year Blood Vine. During the refining process, he also tried to sense the essence of the dicinal materials according to Dantai Mingjing’s thod.
He was extrely devout in his heart as he refined each dicinal material. Half an hour later, Su Jingzhen had refined all six dicinal materials and stored them in six jade bottles.
During the refining process, Dantai Mingjing nodded in approval beside him. It was clear that Su Jingzhen’s performance was perfect.
“Ah~”
After refining, Su Jingzhen let out a sigh of relief.
He turned to see Xuening smiling at him. Xuening had already finished processing her seven dicinal materials.
From this, Su Jingzhen could see that his alchemy skills were indeed inferior to Xuening’s.
“Refining is complete. Let’s start rging. Friend Su, you’ll control the flas later.”
“Although these 13 dicinal materials aren’t many, Xuening can control them alone and rge them. But this ti, we’re mainly practicing our tacit understanding, so later, Friend Su will be responsible for rging three dicinal materials. Will you be okay with that?”
Su Jingzhen nodded: “That’s natural.”
In fact, after reading the Heart-Calming Pill’s alchemy formula, Su Jingzhen was confident that he could complete it alone. However, he didn’t have absolute confidence.
But this ti, it was his first attempt at collaborative alchemy with Xuening, and he was quite excited.
“Since there’s no problem, let’s begin.”
As he spoke, Xuening’s expression turned serious again.
This ti, they only needed one furnace, and Xuening directly extinguished the flas in her furnace and walked to Su Jingzhen’s side.
According to the sequence, she poured the refined dicinal materials into the furnace.
In alchemy, the order and proportion of the dicinal materials were crucial, and even a slight mistake could lead to failure. That was why every alchemy formula was precious.
Xuening’s movents were swift and smooth.
These dicinal materials weren’t high-grade, and she could easily control them.
She quickly poured in ten of them, and a faint fragrance of the elixir wafted out of the furnace.
The dicinal materials in the furnace were gradually taking shape, forming the embryo of a pill.
It was now Su Jingzhen’s turn to act.
The next mont, he stabilized his state, sensing the essence of the dicinal materials, and then directly poured the refined Star God Grass juice into the furnace.
“Whoosh~”
As soon as the Star God Grass juice entered the furnace, a sudden crackling sound erupted from the pill embryo.
A wisp of blue smoke also rose from the furnace.
