After Mo Yang silently investigated the storage ring, his heart bloomed with joy.
He looked at Su Fei'er with a smile and said, "I keep my word. From now on, we'll mind our own business, but only if you don't come looking for trouble!"
Su Fei'er snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, who wants to find you? I was just curious before!"
Mo Yang quickly waved his hand and said, "Young Miss, please don't be curious about me, or you'll fall for me sooner or later!"
Su Fei'er snorted coldly and did not linger, turning to leave the small courtyard.
Seeing Su Fei'er leave, Mo Yang eagerly turned and walked into the house, tightly closing the door, and then directly entered the stone tower.
He went straight to the second floor, to the Pill Furnace. The dark Pill Furnace exuded an ancient aura and was as tall as Mo Yang.
Only now, upon closer inspection, did Mo Yang notice three dark characters on the Pill Furnace.
The three ancient characters were actually 'Creation Furnace'!
The area around the Pill Furnace had already been cleaned by him. Besides the Divine Pill Dao book, there were also two ancient scroll manuscripts, which recorded some Alchemy experiences.
For Mo Yang, those two scrolls of Alchemy experience were like a Master with extraordinary Alchemy attainments.
In the past few days, he had completely memorized them.
Inside the Pill Furnace, there was a cluster of crimson flames, burning steadily, having done so for an unknown number of years.
"Could it be some kind of exotic flame from heaven and earth? Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to remain unextinguished... This Pill Furnace is called the Creation Furnace, so this fire... I'll name it the Flame of Creation!" Mo Yang circled the Pill Furnace, examining it for a long time. After a bit of muttering, he gave the flame a name.
Then he began to prepare the medicinal ingredients.
The Divine Pill Dao scroll had a general classification of Medicinal Pills, from simple to complex, and the required medicinal ingredients also varied.
The more common the Medicinal Pill, the fewer types of medicinal ingredients required, and the quantity was not large. Moreover, the medicinal ingredients were very common and easy to find. However, the medicinal ingredients for refining Spirit Pills were not only numerous but some were rare Spirit Medicine.
The first Medicinal Pill Mo Yang planned to refine was the first Pill Formula recorded in the ancient scroll, named Marrow Cleansing Pill!
The Marrow Cleansing Pill, as its name suggests, cleanses the marrow, removes Impurities from the body, enhances the Cultivator's own root bones, and can even reach a state of purity. It also has an effect on True Qi, helping to condense True Qi.
Mo Yang chose to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill because it was most suitable for Cultivators with low cultivation, improving their root bones from the start, which would be of immense benefit to future Cultivation. Secondly, it required the fewest medicinal ingredients for this type of Medicinal Pill, only two.
"Hundred Spirit Vine, Long Ginseng Beard, only two medicinal ingredients. I have already memorized the Alchemy techniques and key points, so it should be easy to refine!"
Mo Yang took out the two medicinal ingredients, took a deep breath, and then began to refine them with the corresponding proportions.
He thought everything would go smoothly, but the moment the Hundred Spirit Vine was put into the Pill Furnace, it was directly burned into a pile of powder by the crimson flame. Mo Yang didn't even have time to react.
"I already wrapped the medicinal ingredients with True Qi, so why..."
Mo Yang frowned and pondered for a moment, then tried a second time, but the result was identical to the first.
Then the third, fourth, fifth time... After an unknown amount of time, most of the Hundred Spirit Vine in the storage ring had been consumed, but Mo Yang still hadn't succeeded.
Although in the later attempts, the medicinal ingredients had begun to be refined in the Pill Furnace, a slight lapse in attention would lead to complete failure.
Mo Yang felt like he was about to collapse. He had the Pill Formula, he had the Alchemy techniques... Everything was ready, but he didn't expect the Alchemy process to be so difficult.
"Damn it, I refuse to believe that a small Medicinal Pill can stump me today!"
"I've endured ten years of darkness, so even if you torment me a thousand times, I'll still treat you like an ancestor..."
Mo Yang steeled his heart and continued to cautiously begin a new round of attempts. Twice in a row, he was almost successful, but failed at the last moment.
Moreover, Mo Yang discovered that refining Medicinal Pills seemed to consume little True Qi, but as the number of attempts increased, his True Qi was unknowingly depleted. When he stopped, he felt a sense of exhaustion sweep over his entire body.
Finally, out of helplessness, he could only sit down and meditate to recover, and only when his True Qi had recovered somewhat did he continue to refine the medicinal ingredients.
Time slowly passed, and after an unknown number of attempts, when the Hundred Spirit Vine and Long Ginseng Beard in the storage ring were almost depleted, he barely managed to condense a Medicinal Pill.
However, the Medicinal Pill was completely different from what was described in the ancient scroll. Its color was dark and mottled, looking exceptionally crude, and its shape was also completely irregular.
Mo Yang carefully held it in his palm, not bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and almost burst out laughing.
He silently examined it for a moment, then directly threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
Then Mo Yang confirmed that he had succeeded, because the Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth, like a warm current rushing into his abdomen, then spreading throughout his body.
"It's a bit ugly, but it tastes good..."
Then his whole body began to heat up rapidly, as if there was a raging fire burning inside him, and waves of pain also came. Sweat continuously seeped out from all over his body, and in just a few breaths, his robes were soaked.
This was his first time taking a Marrow Cleansing Pill. At first, Mo Yang was full of excitement, but he had no idea the process would be so difficult to endure.
However, he gritted his teeth and persevered. Half an hour later, the burning sensation in his body began to weaken, and the pain slowly disappeared with it.
What followed was an indescribable feeling of comfort and relaxation that swept over his entire body.
Mo Yang ignored the dirt seeping out of his skin and immediately circulated his True Qi, finding that his True Qi had indeed solidified a bit. When he activated it, its circulation seemed smoother than before, and his cultivation also seemed to have increased slightly.
"Tsk tsk, amazing..."
However, the ancient scroll also stated that the effect was most significant on the first dose, and as the number of doses increased, the effect would gradually weaken.
"As long as I can successfully refine one every day, in at most half a month, I will be equivalent to a complete metamorphosis, but the medicinal ingredients are a bit troublesome..." Mo Yang muttered, frowning.
He had just started, so the chance of successful refinement was too small, and the consumption of medicinal ingredients was too great.
Mo Yang frowned, thinking he couldn't keep tricking Su Fei'er. The key was that the little girl probably wouldn't fall for it a second time.
After meditating for a long time, Mo Yang finally got up and left the stone tower.
For the next few days, Mo Yang was almost always refining Medicinal Pills on the second floor of the stone tower. After barely succeeding in refining two Marrow Cleansing Pills, the medicinal ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill were completely exhausted.
During these few days, although he hadn't Cultivated, his True Qi was depleted again and again, as if it was digging into his potential. The speed of his cultivation growth was much faster than before, and his Mental Energy also improved significantly.
When he left the stone tower, his cultivation had already reached the third stage of the Earth Profound Realm.
Wood Peak had been very calm. Mo Yang was now hoping for Su Fei'er to appear.
For no other reason than to trick her into giving him some more medicinal ingredients, as he had no other way now.
If he were to leave the Sect to buy them in an outside city, putting aside everything else, the silver alone would not be a small sum, and he didn't have much on him at all.
"Trying to get something for nothing definitely won't work anymore. It seems I'll have to refine some kind of beauty-enhancing Medicinal Pill to trick... no, to exchange..." Mo Yang pondered for a long time, and an idea formed in his mind.
