Chapter 78 The Special Effects of Alchemy (Please read on, please vote!)

Seven days later.

The hissing of a python could be heard from inside the alchemy furnace from time to time. The remaining essence in the demon core was the key to the growth of this technique. Wang Yu carefully completed the last step.

soon.

A perfectly round, full-bodied, ice-colored elixir with a snake-shaped mark has been produced. There is only one of its kind, making it a top-grade elixir!

A wave of fragrant elixir filled his nostrils, and Wang Yu was extremely satisfied.

After examining it for a while, he decisively swallowed it and began to circulate the "Cold Blood Technique" to try to refine the pill. The benefits of a top-grade pill became apparent. As long as the method was correct, refining this quality pill was almost effortless.

In comparison, the Supreme Cold Blood Pill is a spiritual pill that increases cultivation level. The vast and pure spiritual power it contains requires cultivators to spend a long time absorbing it.

The two serve different purposes.

After the Cold Dragon Pill entered his stomach, Wang Yu felt as if he had swallowed an ice ball, the cold seeping into his bones from his throat to his stomach.

After extreme cold comes scorching heat.

Sweat beaded out of the skin pores, but as the high temperature subsided, a long line of ice crystals formed on the skin, making the breath visible.

As the cultivation technique circulated, the strange phenomenon of ice and fire was fading away. Strands of icy blue medicinal power, after circulating through his meridians, gathered again in his dantian.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"tumultuous---"

Suddenly, a cluster of ice-crystal-colored flames ignited in the center of the Qi Sea. A large amount of spiritual power was poured into it, and the flames suddenly surged. It felt cold, and the power it generated was also of the cold attribute.

For example, external reactions such as freezing and cooling may occur, but if you put your hand into a flame, you will not feel the heat, but instead see a charred black color.

This was the first time Wang Yu had ever seen such a strange, cold flame.

After a while, his mind returned to his body, and the figure sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes. With a thought, a semi-transparent, whitish flame ignited on his body.

The cold flame seed generated by taking the pill had also been refined a second time by Wang Yu, so it could not harm him.

However, the air temperature was constantly dropping, and there was also icing inside the underground fire chamber.

"In that case, besides ice and yin attribute spells, I can also learn a few fire attribute spells to control the cold flames and unleash their power."

This thing can be used not only for alchemy, but also as a superior technique in combat; it just lacks the corresponding means of realization.

Wang Yu withdrew the icy flames from his body and raised a tongue of fire from his right hand, which transformed into the form of an icy python a few breaths later.

Wang Yu raised an eyebrow, his mind made up.

"Indeed, it was derived from a precious technique."

The precious techniques are recorded in the precious bones left behind by powerful demon beasts after their fall. When human cultivators learn them, they will often transform into the demon beast's former form when using them.

Scales, feathers, eyes, claws, whiskers—all vividly depicted, more realistic in detail than beast forms created by magic, and also very powerful.

After experiencing the cold flames, Wang Yu focused his attention on alchemy.

The special feature of the [Frosty Dragon Alchemy Technique] is its frost flame. Now that there is a corresponding method, the effects of this alchemy technique will be fully activated.

Let's start with the Supreme Cold Blood Pill.

After resting for half a day, Wang Yu took out the prepared materials and continued refining the second batch of pills.

It takes 12 pills of the Supreme Cold Blood Pill to create a pill barrier. He has only refined five so far. Using the Cold Flame to refine ice-attribute pills will greatly enhance their effects.

It's very suitable for a cultivator like him who walks on ice and has yin attributes.

This is why, after only one glance, I resolutely chose this alchemy technique; it's not just because it's a third-tier incomplete technique, but also because of this other reason.

This time, it only took five days.

The first day was mainly spent getting familiar with the differences between cold flames and earth fire, gradually adjusting one's habits, and adapting step by step.

The speed increased on the second day, and the four steps of alchemy—refining, fusing, condensing, and nurturing—were completed almost in one go.

The fifth day.

"Open the furnace!"

As the alchemy furnace vibrated, three top-grade Cold Blood Pills bearing the mark of icy-crystal flames were produced. The fragrance emanating from them was enough to excite Wang Yu.

I couldn't wait to take one and then practiced my internal energy to experience the effects.

The original top-grade Cold Blood Pill could increase a cultivator's spiritual power by 100 units, which is equivalent to 10 units, and that's quite a lot.

The new version of the Supreme Cold Blood Pill, with its medicinal properties further enhanced by the Cold Flame and minor modifications to details, has increased in effectiveness by more than 50%.

It's roughly equivalent to 150 spiritual energy cultivation levels.

"Truly impressive."

He could even modify commonly used pills like the Rejuvenating Pill and the Muscle Regenerating Pill according to his own needs, turning them into ice-attribute pills that would be more suitable for him to take.

The refining time is estimated to be more than a year.

As for the personalization and improvement of other prescriptions, there is no rush at the moment; we can take our time.

Half a day later, Wang Yu began refining the third batch of pills, storing up six of the improved Cold Blood Pills before preparing to leave seclusion.

I spent almost a month in seclusion and gained a lot.

After leaving, his first stop was to find Gu Zhengshun to accept the intelligence he had been entrusted with. If there were no problems, he could go to the Ice and Snow Pavilion to exchange spirit stones for a high-grade fire-attribute spell.

As for the empty No. 4 machine, he immediately put on the [Mysterious Yin Hand]. Without the aid of the precious liquid like Yin Marrow Liquid, his self-cultivation speed was terribly slow.

The progress was 20 points back then, and it's still 20 points now.

It can only be said that it is indeed a second-tier high-grade spell. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator can rely on it as a powerful trump card. He can only achieve this by placing it in the slot.

The goal is not to achieve perfect completion immediately, but at least to reach a minor level of mastery.

After some time, once he has perfected all the techniques he has that don't take up much time, he can switch to the cultivation method he wants to practice.

…………

…………

Even after noon, it's still Bazhenzhai.

Gu Zhengshun tossed him a scroll containing intelligence and explained, "This is intelligence gathered by the 'Absolute Yin Tower,' established by a true disciple of Tianshi Peak. It should fill in the gaps in your understanding of the situation during your five years away from Hanxuefang."

“It’s absolutely worth the money. If you ever have any business troubles in the future, Junior Brother Wang, please feel free to ask me for help. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Wang Yu simply chuckled and did not object.

He had already seen what kind of person Gu Zhengshun was in Xuan Gu Mountain. When he had what the other party needed, he was very attentive to their needs, but once he achieved his goal, he would revert to his true nature.

They're really good at selling people!

It's impossible to find them unless you have leverage.

He muttered a few complaints to himself, then focused his attention on the intelligence scroll and began to study it carefully.

Nothing major happened at Cold Blood Workshop in the past five years.

The situation is basically the same as what I learned from Lan Ji before, except for one problem.

The scroll says that Zhao Shang, the former manager of Ice and Snow Pavilion, was not killed, but escaped into the Blood Abyss.

This place is the sacred cultivation ground of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, located three thousand miles southwest of the sect, very close.

The dangers involved are beyond the capacity of Qi Refining cultivators to bear; it wouldn't be wrong to say they would die.
