Chapter 181: A Hundred Times (1)
Translator: 549690339
In just a few days, Zhu Wuwan had hidden hundreds of medicinal herbs and dregs. If he consumed all of them, he would at least be able to break through to the ninth qi layer.
However, Zhu Wuyang was not prepared to consume it for the time being. His current cultivation speed was already fast enough. If he went any faster, he would be exposed too easily. It was better to settle down for a period of time.
When he had gathered enough medicinal herbs and dregs, Zhu Wuwan might be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in one go, or even the middle or late stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As long as he stepped into the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, Zhu Wuwan would have the confidence to escape from anyone in the Zhen Clan and be invincible.
On this night, Zhu Wuyan stayed at Huoyuan Peak as usual. She had been staying there for the past half a month or so.
On one hand, it was to avoid Zhen Ji and the others ‘surveillance, and most importantly, it was to make it easier for him to hide medicinal ingredients, residue, and waste pills.
Huoyuan Peak was the Zhu Clan’s most important place for alchemy. The thousands of immortal cultivators of the Zhu Clan all needed their elixirs from this place. Therefore, they frequently went in and out of the mountain.
Under such circumstances, it wasn’t difficult for Zhu Wuyang to hide some medicinal herbs, dregs, and waste pills. Moreover, he would be able to do it without anyone noticing.
In addition, with the spread of Zhu Wuyan’s reputation as a little expert in sorting and handling medicinal herbs, many alchemy apprentices and even alchemists came to Zhu Wuyan to sort and handle medicinal herbs. This naturally gave Zhu Wuyan more opportunities.
In a hidden Earth Fire Grotto on Huoyuan Peak, Zhu Wuwan was processing medicinal herbs one by one, preparing to refine pills for the first time in his life. To be precise, he was refining pills, but it could not be called a real pill yet.
This Earth Fire Grotto was only the lowest grade Earth Fire Grotto. There were many of them on Huoyuan Peak. Due to its remote location, not many people used it during the day, let alone at night. Therefore, Zhu Wuyang chose this place as the place to refine pills.
The medicinal herbs used were only some low-grade medicinal herbs. There were a lot of them on Huoyuan Peak, so it was a piece of cake for Zhu Wuwan to take some.
Because it was a very simple healing pill, there were only three kinds of medicinal herbs that needed to be processed. Moreover, they were all very ordinary and simple medicinal herbs. Zhu Wuwan only spent about three minutes to process them.
Then, he began to refine healing pills
He put in the red leaf grass, put in the white ice flower ??The White Ice Flower was burning. The first attempt had failed!
Zhu Wuwan found the reason. He was even more careful during the second refinement and successfully put in and fused the two medicinal herbs. However, he failed when fusing the third type of Essence Cultivating Soil, causing the refinement to fail again.
After concluding the reasons for the failure, Zhu Wuyang began the third refinement.
Add the red leaf grass ??The Red Leaf Grass was successfully brewed!
Add in the white ice flower ??The White Ice Flower successfully fused with the Red Leaf Grass!
Put in the Essence Cultivating Soil ??The cultivating earth gathered the red leaf grass and the white ice flower!
He had successfully refined a healing pill!
This was the first time Zhu Wanhao had refined a pill in her life. She had only failed twice and successfully refined it on her third try.
Although the healing pill was not a real spiritual pill, it was definitely a divine pill in the mortal world. It could save lives and bones, but its effect on immortal cultivators was much worse, so it was not a real spiritual pill.
Only by refining a medicinal pill that had normal medicinal effects for cultivators could it be called a spirit pill!
“Congratulations to the host for refining a healing pill for the first time in his life. You have received three breakthrough stones…”
“Congratulations to the host for refining a pill for the first time in his life. You have received ten breakthrough stones ?”
This action brought Zhu Wuwan more than ten breakthrough stones, which was more than 100 billion breakthrough points. The number was definitely not small.
A smile flashed across Zhu Wuan’s face as he began to refine the second type of pill. As long as he could successfully refine three types of pills, it meant that Zhu Wuan was qualified to be called an apprentice alchemist.
Even though Zhu Wuyang had sufficient theoretical ability, her practical ability was still relatively poor.
The second pill was the Pulse Enrichment Pill, which could repair the spiritual meridians of Xiantian experts. It was a priceless treasure in the mortal world.
This time, Zhu Wuwan failed four times before she succeeded in refining it. The difficulty was still quite high.
The third type of pill was the Calming Pill. It could increase the mental power of Xiantian warriors. Naturally, it was also very effective for prospective cultivators who had not officially stepped into the immortal path. It could be said to be one of the top pills that alchemy apprentices could refine.
This time, Zhu Wuwan failed a total of nine times. It was only on the tenth time that she successfully refined the Calming Pill. It could be seen how tender the Calming Pill was.
Under normal circumstances, those who were able to refine the Calming Pill were the top batch of apprentice alchemists. They were only half a step away from becoming an official alchemist.
Even at Zhu Wanzi’s peak, she couldn’t refine the Calming Pill. One could imagine how difficult it was to refine the Calming Pill. It was far more difficult than the Healing Pill and the Pulse Enrichment Pill.
At this time, it was almost morning. Zhu Wuwan hurriedly began to pack her things, preparing to welcome the arrival of a new day.
He planned to consolidate his cultivation for a few more days and tell Zhu Wanzi about his situation. This way, he would be able to get a better opportunity to improve his alchemy skills faster. At the same time, he would be able to get more and better medicinal herbs and waste pills.
“I’m fine. If you’re free during this period of time, you can watch how great-aunt refines medicinal pills. Although great-aunt is a little old and her refining speed is a little slow, and she always fails, it can also increase your practical experience.”
“Refining medicinal pills is different from sorting and processing medicinal ingredients. It requires a stronger mental power, and the difficulty is naturally greater. With your talent in alchemy, you will need at least four months before you can try to refine medicinal pills. As long as you can successfully refine a kind of medicinal pill within a year, you can be called a genius.”
“When refining pills, one must not aim too high. Moreover, one must maintain a calm attitude. Only then can one successfully refine pills, or even true spirit pills. He still remembered that when his great-aunt was refining healing pills, she could not calm down for a month. She failed more than a hundred times in a row and still did not succeed. Later, under the guidance of the seniors, I learned the true meaning of meditation. Then, in the second month, I only failed twenty-eight times and successfully refined the first healing pill in my life.”
After seeing Zhu Wuyang, Zhu Wanzi turned on the teaching and guidance mode as usual. However, as she listened, Zhu Wuyang’s expression became a little strange.
He really didn’t expect his great-aunt to be so stupid when she was young. Such a simple healing pill actually failed nearly 200 times before it was successfully refined. Speaking of which, how many times did he fail before he could refine the healing pill?
Twice?
The number of times Zhu Wanzi failed was a hundred times more than Zhu Wuyan!
