Chapter 246 The Art of Alchemy

Everything went smoothly on the way.

He returned to Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

After glancing at Jade, who was still crawling around in the pool, He Song turned around and entered the alchemy room.

Today, he had harvested a large number of mature spirit medicines and also purchased many materials for refining Hundred Beast Pills.

Next.

It was also time to launch an assault on alchemy and quickly make himself capable of refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

As soon as he could refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills in the future, He Song would go to buy some auxiliary medicines and start using the newly harvested spirit medicines to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

Earth Spirit Ginseng, Green Spirit Fruit, Blood Clot Dissolving Spirit Flower.

These main medicines were all of considerable value, and they are the main medicines used to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

After refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, their price would naturally not be low.

Moreover, even if they were not sold, using them for himself, these pills could save He Song a lot of spirit stones.

In the days that followed.

He Song quickly immersed himself in cultivation and alchemy.

Every day.

In addition to his daily cultivation, He Song had put aside all other things and began to concentrate on studying alchemy.

Even talisman techniques, He Song had completely thrown them to the back of his mind.

In this way, time passed day by day.

He Song quickly mastered the refining method of Hundred Beast Pills and successfully refined Hundred Beast Pills.

One day.

He Song, who was in the alchemy room, reached out and gently patted the alchemy furnace in front of him.

With a soft sound, several pills immediately jumped out of the alchemy furnace and were steadily collected by He Song into the jade bottle in his hand.

Harvesting spirit medicines required placing them in jade boxes to maintain their medicinal properties.

Refining pills naturally also required placing the pills in jade bottles to maintain the efficacy of the pills.

When He Song first started learning alchemy, he had bought many jade bottles in Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

He naturally did not lack jade bottles in his hand.

Taking the jade bottle in his hand in front of him, He Song slightly hefted it, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Not bad, the first furnace of pills produced as many as five pills."

"This Hundred Beast Pill, although it is quite cumbersome to refine, the number of pills produced after refining is also guaranteed."

"However, it is because demon beast blood essence is expensive and the cost is too high that many alchemists are unwilling to refine this pill, which leads to the high price of this pill."

"They can't be blamed either."

"This demon beast blood essence is widely sought after among demonic cultivators, and its high price is also justified."

Waving his hand to dispel the pungent bloody smell at the tip of his nose, He Song frowned, and the reason why Hundred Beast Pills were expensive also flashed in his mind.

Blood essence, souls, white bones, and so on, these things were not worthless.

Especially various materials related to demonic cultivators, they were quite expensive.

However, refining Hundred Beast Pills required demon beast blood essence.

Moreover, the price of demon beast blood essence, compared to buying finished Hundred Beast Pills, was already considered much cheaper.

Buying demon beast blood essence for refining Hundred Beast Pills himself only required a cost price.

Compared with other cultivators who wanted to nurture spirit pets.

Or other alchemists who refined Hundred Beast Pills.

His advantage over them was enormous.

After thinking of this, He Song was relieved.

Holding the jade bottle in his hand, He Song quickly left the alchemy room and came to the mansion.

Too much time had passed.

He Song did not find any sign of Jade in the pool.

Having no other choice, He Song could only extend his divine sense to envelop the entire mansion, and only then did he find Jade in a dark corner.

At this time.

A full few months had passed since He Song brought Jade back to the mansion.

After several months, he finally refined a furnace of Hundred Beast Pills, and He Song naturally wanted to feed it to Jade to see how effective this Hundred Beast Pill was.

Controlling his divine sense to lift Jade in front of him.

He Song gently stroked its small head, signaling it to open its mouth.

Unfortunately.

Jade was ignorant and did not pay attention to He Song's signal.

Seeing this situation, He Song had no choice but to take action, pry open its mouth, and then stuff a Hundred Beast Pill into it.

Once the Hundred Beast Pill entered its belly.

He Song casually pinched its mouth to prevent the pill from being spit out.

Then he began to quietly observe the changes in Jade.

At first, when it took the Hundred Beast Pill, Jade did not undergo any changes.

However, as time passed, a touch of blood-colored lines faintly appeared on its white jade-like body."

Seeing this situation, He Song raised his eyebrows, and was about to take a closer look, but saw that the blood-colored lines only flashed on its body and then disappeared, and then lost its trace.

Next, no matter how He Song checked, he could no longer see anything from it.

However.

As time continued to pass, He Song could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in Jade's body began to slowly increase after taking the Hundred Beast Pill.

If it was said that when it did not take Hundred Beast Pills, Jade's cultivation increase was almost as slow as a turtle crawling.

Then, after taking Hundred Beast Pills, the speed of cultivation increase in Jade's body seemed to have become a rabbit running, becoming quite fast.

Comparing the two, He Song came to the conclusion.

After taking Hundred Beast Pills, Jade's cultivation improvement speed would be much faster than before.

As for exactly how much faster.

He Song did not have a reference object, so naturally he could not calculate it.

However, Jade's future cultivation breakthrough speed must be much faster than before.

Perhaps, it might really be able to help He Song in a few decades, or even hundreds or thousands of years later.

As for now. . .

Looking at Jade, who was ignorant in front of him, He Song did not have too much hope in his heart.

If it wanted to help him, Jade's cultivation must be at Foundation Establishment stage or above.

According to Jade's current cultivation improvement speed, it would probably take decades for it to reach Foundation Establishment stage.

Casually putting the jade bottle in his hand into his storage pouch.

He Song threw Jade into the pool, and instead entered the alchemy room again and began to refine pills.

This Hundred Beast Pill.

Once a day, one pill at a time was enough.

If there were too many, the medicinal effect would accumulate in the spirit pet's body, and then the losses would outweigh the gains.

Instead of doing so, it was better to feed it once a day, and leave after feeding.

Just like He Song did.

Returning to the alchemy room again.

Inside the alchemy room.

After adjusting his body and mind, He Song quickly immersed himself in alchemy again.

First of all, it was still Hundred Beast Pill.

He Song had to refine some Hundred Beast Pills to prepare for emergencies.

Of course, He Song also found it troublesome to go to feed Jade a Hundred Beast Pill every day.

In this way, it was better to refine some Hundred Beast Pills, and then put them in a storage pouch and hand them over to a spirit puppet.

Issue an instruction to the spirit puppet to take out a Hundred Beast Pill from the storage pouch every day and feed it to Jade.

In this way, not only could He Song not feel troubled, but he could also let Jade eat Hundred Beast Pills every day, which was simply perfect.

According to this idea.

He Song quickly began to refine Hundred Beast Pills in large quantities.

This refining lasted for a full few months.

After these months of continuous refining, the Hundred Beast Pills in He Song's hands continued to increase.

A total of three hundred mid-Qi Condensation stage Hundred Beast Pills were obtained.

The refining difficulty of Hundred Beast Pills was not high, but because He Song was a beginner, he failed many times.

The actual number of successful pill formations was only about thirty times.

Therefore, even though a furnace of Hundred Beast Pills basically produced eight to twelve pills, in the end, only three hundred Hundred Beast Pills were obtained.

However, He Song was already quite satisfied with this result.

With these three hundred Hundred Beast Pills.

At least within a year, Jade could eat one Hundred Beast Pill every day, without worrying about its cultivation increasing too slowly.

When the Hundred Beast Pills were gone.

He could refine them again.

Anyway, although refining Hundred Beast Pills was a bit cumbersome, because He Song had already reached Foundation Establishment stage, it did not take too much time.

Moreover.

He could also take this time to continuously hone his alchemy skills, and He Song naturally would not find it troublesome.

After putting all the Hundred Beast Pills on his body into a storage pouch, and handing it over to Clear Wind, and asking Clear Wind to find Jade every day and feed it a Hundred Beast Pill, He Song stopped caring about this matter.

Instead, he turned his head and began to study other alchemy recipes.

For example, Qi Condensing Pill alchemy recipe.

Qi Condensing Pill was used by late-Qi Condensation stage cultivators to improve their cultivation, and under Great Perfection of Qi Condensation stage, it could well improve the cultivation speed of cultivators.

He Song had been studying this pill, but had never mastered it.

Qi Condensing Pill was a high-grade pill.

It was a higher grade than the mid-grade Hundred Beast Pill and mid-grade Qi Gathering Pill that He Song had refined before.

Naturally, when refining it, the difficulty was also much greater.

Although Qi Condensing Pill was the simplest among high-grade pills, it still made He Song study it for a long time, but he had never even gotten started.

Fortunately.

He Song was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Moreover, he had learned Aura Observation Technique, this Foundation Establishment stage spell, early on.

He was able to quickly master and comprehend the content in Introduction to Formation Dao.

According to He Song's estimation, he should be able to master the refining method of Qi Condensing Pills soon.

Although the success rate should not be too high.

But it could be considered a firm step on the path of becoming an alchemist.

Thus.

Several months passed again.

One day.

Inside the alchemy room.

He Song's expression was focused, his eyes fixed on the alchemy furnace in front of him, and a spiritual light flickered in his eyes.

He was using Aura Observation Technique to observe the flow of spiritual energy inside the alchemy furnace to judge whether this pill refining could be successful.

At a certain moment, He Song, who originally had a focused expression, suddenly relaxed his expression, and a trace of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Good, good, good, Qi Condensing Pill, it's done!"

After saying that, He Song pinched a hand seal, and a ray of spiritual light was immediately shot into the alchemy furnace.

Soon.

The spiritual light flew out of the alchemy furnace again.

However, when flying out, the spiritual light also contained several pills.

Suddenly, a pill fragrance instantly filled the surroundings, making people feel refreshed and endlessly aftertasteful upon smelling it.

As an alchemist.

He Song ignored the pill fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, and a small jade bottle had appeared in his hand at some point.

When the spiritual light flew out and returned to He Song's body, the jade bottle in his hand also happened to receive all the pills carried in the spiritual light.

When the spiritual light dissipated and all the pills fell into the jade bottle.

He Song's gaze swept over the pills in the jade bottle, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

Today.

He finally refined a furnace of Qi Condensing Pills.
