Chapter 1631: Emergence Pill (2)
"Three Yang True Fire!"
The pill cauldron was ready, the medicinal ingredients were ready, and the pill refinement officially began.
With a flick of his consciousness, a formation in front of him was activated. Although this formation was only an auxiliary formation, only a Heaven Formation Master like him could use it.
With the help of the pure Yang Qi in this space, using the Three Yang Crystal as a primer, and using the array to control the Three Yang True Fire, using this Three Yang True Fire to refine pills could improve the quality of the pills and also increase the probability of success.
Li Lingtian had paid a hefty price to refine the Grade Ten Emergence Pill. He had gone around looking for items that would be beneficial for refining pills. No matter how expensive the price was, he would not even bat an eyelid.
The Three Yang Real Fire emitted a faint flame. The flame seemed weak, but it carried the power to destroy the world and could burn the entire world.
The Pure Yang Qi in the sky slowly entered Li Lingtian’s face. The Pure Yang Qi became the nutrients for the Three Yang Primordial Fire, causing it to grow stronger.
At that moment, Li Lingtian cast a series of incantation gestures to control the array formation.
When the formation changed, the flames also changed. A moment later, the flames became pure.
Blazing flames were one of the most crucial conditions for pill refinement. Without blazing flames, it could not be said to be pill refinement.
This pill refinement also required very harsh flame conditions. If one did not meet the standards of pill refinement, one could not even refine the medicinal herbs, let alone refine them into pills.
"Warming the cauldron!"
With the blazing flames, Li Lingtian controlled the cauldron with his Divine Consciousness. He suspended the cauldron above the blazing flames and began warming it.
Warming the cauldron was also an important skill. If the cauldron was not done well, it would directly affect the success rate of the medicinal pill and the quality of the medicinal pill.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the cauldron continued to spin above the blazing flames, Li Lingtian released his Divine Consciousness and stopped controlling the cauldron.
After the Elixir Cauldron had reached this level, coupled with its connection with Li Lingtian, he did not have to worry about it anymore. This was the Elixir Cauldron’s spirituality. With the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron, Li Lingtian did not have to worry about the Elixir Cauldron.
Without having to take care of the Pill Cauldron, Li Lingtian could save a lot of energy.
Li Lingtian had already prepared the Rootless Fruit while he was warming the cauldron. There was a specific order for the ingredients to be placed into the pill. If they did not follow the order, the pill would fail.
This time, he was refining the grade-10 Immortal Ascension Pill. He first refined the fruit-type medicinal herbs, then the roots, and finally the flowers and plants. After that, he would add the liquid medicinal herbs.
"Rootless Fruit!"
After the cauldron was warmed, Li Lingtian tossed the Rootless Fruit into the cauldron.
Whether or not the pill cauldron was well-nourished was not something that could be sensed with one’s hands. It was something that could only be formed through experience.
As soon as the Rootless Fruit entered the cauldron, it began to change. A million-year-old fruit already had a strong spiritual nature. Now that it was being refined, the medicinal liquid was quickly boiled out by the cauldron.
Refining a million-year-old herb was definitely a challenge.
Seconds ticked by. Li Lingtian’s entire mind was immersed in the cauldron as his Divine Consciousness paid attention to the changes in the Rootless Fruit, memorizing them in his mind.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
Finally, on the fourth hour, the Rootless Fruit had completely turned into the medicinal liquid.
Li Lingtian’s face broke into a faint smile as he was able to successfully refine the Rootless Fruit. He was feeling more and more relaxed.
The second ingredient was already prepared. The second ingredient was the Ten Extremes Fruit.
Just like the Rootless Fruit, the Ten Extremes Fruit also took four hours to refine. The third ingredient was the Rootless Flower, which took one hour to refine.
Next, there was the Ten Extremes Grass, Ten Extremes Root, Fruit of Life, Fruit of Death, Flower of Life, and Flower of Death.
It took nearly ten days to refine all the medicinal herbs. Because the Fruit of Death and the Fruit of Life consumed too much time, it was fortunate that all the medicinal herbs were refined into medicinal liquid in the end.
After refining ten herbs, Li Lingtian looked exhausted. He had not rested for ten days as he was fully focused on the elixir. Even a Demigod True God would be exhausted, let alone a Semi-Divinity.
Chi chi!
Chi chi!
The medicinal liquid in the pill cauldron flowed continuously, causing the medicinal liquid to appear colorful. The spiritual nature of the medicinal liquid was intense, as if there were countless intelligent creatures inside.
Li Lingtian’s expression turned even more serious as he looked at the medicinal liquid.
After a short rest, he activated his Divine Consciousness and an exquisite jade bottle appeared in front of Li Lingtian.
The jade bottle was opened, and an extremely powerful demonic power was immediately emitted. After the demonic power was a powerful dragon qi, as if a true dragon had appeared in front of him.
Dragon blood. That’s right, it was dragon blood.
These were the three drops of blood essence that Li Lingtian had obtained from Little White. Little White’s blood essence was dragon blood, and it was pure Holy Dragon’s blood.
Dragon blood was also the most crucial ingredient for the Immortal Ascension Pill. It was also the last medicinal ingredient.
As long as the dragon blood was fused, the pill refinement would basically be one-third successful.
The appearance of the dragon blood immediately made the medicinal liquid in the cauldron uneasy. The medicinal liquid in the cauldron churned as if it was about to explode. Just the aura of the dragon blood was enough to make the medicinal liquid uneasy. One could imagine how much conflict there was between the dragon blood and the medicinal liquid.
If dragon blood was mixed into the medicinal liquid, who knew what shocking changes would happen.
Li Lingtian’s heart was under increasing pressure when he saw this.
Calm down, calm down, calm down.
Li Lingtian kept emphasizing that he was calm but he could not calm down.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his decades of refining pills. It made him feel frustrated and irritable. His entire body was filled with exposed hostility, and the air was trembling strangely.
Ah!
Faced with the terrifying pressure, Li Lingtian let out a roar as the dragon blood entered the cauldron.
The moment the dragon blood entered the cauldron, the entire time seemed to have stopped.
The air also froze at this moment. However, this freezing and stillness only lasted for an instant.
After a short moment of peace, the pill furnace trembled and exploded with a boom. The array formation shattered and space was torn. The situation was extremely terrifying.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron turned into nothingness. The cauldron also dimmed, and the flames disappeared.
Blood trickled down from the corner of Li Lingtian’s mouth. His expression was extremely ugly as he stared at the Pill Cauldron in a daze as if he had lost his soul.
Pill refinement, failure!
He had been practicing alchemy for decades, but he had failed to concoct pills more than three times. Although the ingredients for those pills were precious, they could still be found in the Divine Martial Continent.
However, the pill he was refining now was indeed something that did not exist in the Divine Martial Continent. It was a level ten pill that surpassed the Divine Martial Continent.
Furthermore, the precious medicinal ingredients were all extinct in the Divine Martial Continent. He had spent a lot of effort to find the ingredients for the five cauldrons of pills. Now, his first attempt to refine them had ended in failure.
Huangfu Yuyan and the others had noticed the sudden change in the array formation, which caused the entire Thunderclap Palace to shake.
They were shocked when they saw the array around Li Lingtian disappear. They were more concerned about what had happened to Li Lingtian.
One by one, they came to the front of the destructive array and looked at Li Lingtian who was sitting cross-legged on the ground from afar.
One could feel a trace of disappointment and decadence emanating from Li Lingtian’s body. It was as if he had aged by decades, giving off a painful feeling.
"Hey!"
Li Lingtian sighed and stood up. He looked at Huangfu Yuyan and the others ’concerned expressions and felt a little comforted. A smile appeared on his face.
He had failed. He had indeed failed. However, he still had his wife and family. A failure was nothing. The alchemists in the Divine Martial Continent had failed countless times.
It would be useless if he could not recover after failing. He was Li Lingtian, the number one Divine Pill Refiner and the number one Heavenly Array Master in the Divine Martial Continent.
An expert not only had to defeat his opponent, but also had the heart to defeat himself. Only then would he be a true expert.
After sorting out his emotions, he slowly walked out and came in front of Huangfu Yuyan and the others.
"I failed once."
Li Lingtian said with a smile, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Tang Qingyue and the others smiled in consolation when they saw Li Lingtian’s reaction. They knew that Li Lingtian would not put on a disguise, at least not in front of them.
Although he failed, he had the courage to face his failure. Otherwise, he would not be Li Lingtian.
"Failure once is nothing."
"If you successfully refine a tier 10 medicinal pill in one go, it wouldn’t be a tier 10 medicinal pill anymore."
"A tier 10 medicinal pill is infinitely close to an immortal pill. Such an item naturally needs to experience countless hardships before it can bear fruit. In any case, there is still a chance. I will just wait for a period of rest before refining it."
"You’re tired too. Take a rest first."
“..”
Tang Qingyue, Bei Minxue, and the rest consoled Li Lingtian before leaving the array formation and arriving at the array formation where Huangfu Yuyan and the rest were resting. This array formation was completely concealed.
The array formation inside was like a room. Tang Qingyue and the others lived inside.
Li Lingtian rested for more than two months. During these two months, he was completely relaxed and did not think about anything. Even if the sky fell, he would not consider it. After two months, he finally calmed down.
The first failure was because he was under too much pressure and couldn’t calm down, causing the pill refinement to not proceed to the end. Such a failure was a mistake in principle for him.
He would not make such a mistake again. Therefore, if he did not want to make this principled mistake, he had to learn to bear the pressure of failure and learn to become stronger under the pressure.
With a calm mind, Li Lingtian cast the array once again.
After the array was set up, he entered the array again and began to refine pills. He got up wherever he fell.
Moreover, this grade-10 Immortal Ascension Pill had to be refined.
If he didn’t have the Immortal Ascension Pill, he would have to think of other ways to break through to the Demigod realm.
Huangfu Yuyan and the others watched Li Lingtian enter the array formation with calm expressions. They did not want Li Lingtian to feel any more pressure. They wanted Li Lingtian to fail because of the pressure they put on him.
