Li Shiming was extremely envious of Elder Ma's ability to make light of heavy tasks. If he wanted to reach this level, it would probably take years of practice.

Li Shiming, like before, entered the alchemy furnace with his spiritual thoughts.

The difficulty of refining 'Shushan Huangling Pill' is naturally many times more difficult than the previous pills. He can sense through his divine sense that Elder Ma is using a secret method to continuously harmonize the energy of the spiritual medicine in the furnace.

The energy of the spiritual medicine in the alchemy furnace always remained in a stable balance. As time passed slowly, the energy of the spiritual medicine in the alchemy furnace became more and more intense, but under the coordination of Elder Ma, the reactions were all under control.

It took two hours to make one furnace of pills. Elder Ma not only refined two furnaces of pills at the same time, but also kept explaining some contents of "Shushan Pill Classic" to Li Shiming.

Combining the refining of this batch of 'Shushan Huanglingdan', Li Shiming had a clearer understanding of high-level alchemists.

As Elder Ma's spiritual thoughts gently tapped the spiritual artifact furnace, a scent of elixir emanated.

"The whole furnace is of high-quality. The master is really smart!" Li Shiming could judge the quality of the elixir just by smelling the fragrance and couldn't help but praise it.

Elder Ma smiled and said nothing, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Having a disciple like Li Shiming is very stressful. Don't be fooled by his casual and relaxed appearance. In fact, he is using all his abilities just to avoid any accidents.

Even a master of alchemy is not 100% sure of being able to refine a second-grade high-level elixir. If one is not careful, there will always be some mistakes.

He put ten high-grade 'Shushan Huanglingdan' into a jade bottle and handed it to Li Shiming.

"Master, I'll refine a furnace and ask for your advice!" Li Shiming took the jade bottle, put it away and said.

He took out the third-level Tianbao furnace next to Elder Ma and began to refine the second-grade elixir for the first time in the middle stage of foundation building.

Elder Ma allocated a part of his spiritual consciousness to focus on the process of his alchemy.

This is not an ordinary alchemy. Once Li Shiming refines the "Shushan Huangling Pill", the sect will have one more high-level alchemist.

With Li Shiming's aptitude for alchemy, plus the spiritual fire in his body, there is no need to think further, he will 100% become a master of alchemy.

The Red Sun Fire entered the Third Revolution Tianbao Furnace, and the 'Spiritual Flame Control Fire Technique' was performed. Li Shiming felt that the control of the Red Sun Fire became more handy.

'Spiritual Flame Fire Control Technique' is largely a fire control technique developed for spiritual fire, so he has this feeling.

The processed spiritual medicines were put into the alchemy furnace one by one. Under the effect of the "Thirty-Six Palms to Return the Pill Art", the spiritual medicines rolled and mixed in the alchemy furnace and turned into liquid pill.

He sensed the state of the elixir in the furnace through the 'Qingdi Shanggan Jue' and adjusted the energy balance in the furnace according to Elder Ma's alchemy data collected by IBMz15.

Elder Ma next to him put away the pills he had made previously and stopped making pills. Instead, he focused on the pill-making process in Li Shiming's hands.

A gratified smile appeared on his face. This was the first time that Li Shiming refined the 'Shushan Huangling Pill', but he had always maintained it above the standard without any mistakes.

The elixir liquid in the Third-Turn Tianbao Furnace became more and more condensed. Li Shiming continuously used his spiritual thoughts to transform into palms and gently patted the furnace. As the patting movements became stronger and stronger, with the last pat, the furnace opened and eight elixirs flew out.

"Oh!" He couldn't help but sigh. This time the pills were not full, and there were only three high-level pills among them, and the rest were intermediate pills.

"Okay, I will assign you the task of refining the 'Shushan Huangling Pill' for the sect. After refining it a few more times and summarizing your experience, you will be able to make pills stably!" Elder Ma just couldn't stand Li Shiming's unsatisfied look even though he was doing a good job, so he waved his hand and said.

If Li Shiming's standards were used, his other alchemy disciples should all be expelled from the sect.

"Thank you, Master!" Although he felt regretful, Li Shiming was still very happy. He bowed and expressed his gratitude.

What Elder Ma said was equivalent to recognizing Li Shiming's identity as a senior alchemist, and he could take on the tasks of a senior alchemist in the sect.

Although the previous 'Shushan Hunyuan Pill' was a second-grade pill, it only contained one second-grade spiritual medicine, while the 'Shushan Huangling Pill' contained five second-grade spiritual medicines. The number of second-grade spiritual medicines determined the difficulty of refining the pill.

The Shushan Sect has only one alchemy master, Elder Ma, but there are four senior alchemists.

Four high-level alchemists may seem like a lot, but considering how big the Shushan Sect is, there are hundreds of disciples in the middle and late stages of foundation building alone, so four high-level alchemists are simply not enough.

If Elder Ma does not take action, elixirs for cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building are always in short supply, and as soon as they appear, they will be exchanged for by the cultivators using their contribution points.

"You have now stepped into the threshold of a high-level alchemist. Some connections in the sect will find you to refine pills. Do not accept such commissions for at least one year. The reputation of an alchemist is still very important. Although the alchemist does not have to pay compensation for failure, what he loses after failure is his reputation!" Elder Ma thought for a moment and gave further instructions.

"I understand!" Li Shiming nodded in response.

Li Shiming accepted the task of making one hundred furnaces of "Shushan Huanglingdan" and returned to his cave.

After refining the 'Shushan Huangling Pill' three times, he was able to stabilize the production of the 'Shushan Huangling Pill' at a high-level full-pill level. In addition to the help of Elder Ma's pill refining data collected by IBMz15, this was also due to his experience in refining a large number of pills in the previous year.

After ensuring the success rate of refining, he tried to refine ten furnaces of 'Shushan Huanglingdan' at a time.

The reason why Li Shiming dared to do so was that he had the confidence from the help of IBMz15. Within the range of his spiritual thoughts, not only could he monitor the refining process in the ten furnaces, but IBMz15 was also helping to monitor and constantly issuing reminders.

Even if he sometimes fails to take it into consideration, with the reminder from IBMz15, he can find his mistakes at the first time.

Ten jade bottles were filled with a hundred high-grade "Shushan Huanglingdan". He was very satisfied that he did not make any mistakes.

Later, when he refined the 'Shushan Huangling Pill', he placed it in the machine room. Ten spiritual furnaces were lined up in the machine room. By the way, he could also collect the 'essence of medicine' to refine the top-level 'Shushan Huangling Pill'.

You must know that after he is promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, he will need to take the top-level "Shushan Huangling Pill", so he must prepare in advance.

When he had refined half of the one hundred furnaces of 'Shushan Huangling Pill', he no longer had any problem refining the pill for the middle stage of foundation building, and it was as easy as refining the 'Shushan Hunyuan Pill'.

And because he could refine ten furnaces at a time, his pill refining speed was incomparable.

Therefore, on the second day alone, he had refined nearly fifty batches of 'Shushan Huangling Pills' and produced four top-grade 'Shushan Huangling Pills'.

Li Shiming was not satisfied with his achievements. He knew very well that he had IBM z15 and computer room space with micron-level control. Under these conditions, his achievements were nothing.

He took a fancy to the 'One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique' and used it every time he refined the elixir.

While refining the elixir in the machine room, he didn't worry at all about the energy chaos that might occur in the elixir furnace when using the 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy Technique'. In fact, he would discover and eliminate such energy chaos in its infancy.

This is the benefit of micron-level control. When his perception can sense the micron level, it means that IBMz15 can also sense the micron level. Under dual monitoring, especially when IBMz15 never makes mistakes, even if trouble occurs, it will be discovered and resolved in the first time.

His luck was pretty good, as the 'One Hundred Points Alchemy Technique' succeeded once on the second day. After performing the 'One Hundred Points Alchemy Technique' as usual, he began to focus on controlling the situation inside the alchemy furnace.

In the alchemy furnace where he performed the "One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Art", the elixir that was originally taking shape suddenly had an illusory elixir shadow appear next to it, and it was madly absorbing the spiritual power in the alchemy furnace.

This was a phenomenon that he could not understand and almost caused his IBM z15 to crash. If he had not discovered it in the computer room and recorded it by his divine sense and IBM z15, he would have thought it was an eye disease.

He previously thought that the 'One Hundred and One Points Pill Art' was a pill condensed from the excess liquid medicine in the pill furnace.

But he never thought that it would appear out of thin air from nothing, and that it could turn the virtual into real and form a elixir just by absorbing spiritual power.

After this batch of elixirs came out of the furnace, he took out this batch of elixirs separately and observed them carefully.

This batch of elixirs produced twenty pills, all of which were of high quality. Unless he fell asleep while refining the pills, he would not have produced low-quality pills.

He took out one of the ten high-level 'Shushan Huangling Pills' that had turned from virtual to real, sensed it with his divine sense, observed it with his eyes, and even scraped off a little to try out the medicinal power. No matter how he checked it, it was a real high-level 'Shushan Huangling Pill'.

This was another phenomenon that he could not understand. How could the seemingly unreliable 'One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique' be included in the 'Shushan Alchemy Classic'? How could it not have its own uniqueness?

Li Shiming looked through the alchemy data recorded by IBM z15. These data were extremely large and included the microscopic changes of micron-sized particles in the alchemy furnace.

He also found the data from the previous time when he used the 'One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique' without success. He wanted to see what the difference was.

After a period of analysis and research with IBM z15, he found an anomaly in the huge amount of data.

The 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy Art' was performed just before the pill was produced. During this period of time, when the 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy Art' was successfully performed, a strange pattern appeared in the alchemy furnace.

If he hadn't studied the secrets of the 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy', it would have been impossible for him to discover this strange pattern in micron-sized particles.

This strange pattern appeared for about one hundredth of a second, and when he cast the 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy Technique' to take effect, it was during the one hundredth of a second that the strange pattern existed, which enabled the 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy Technique' to be activated.

He didn't know what the strange pattern that appeared in the alchemy furnace was, but he was sure that it must be related to the success of the 'One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique'.

During the next alchemy process, he repeated the success of the 'One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique', which confirmed his judgment.

No wonder the success rate of the 'One Hundred and One Points Pill Art' is extremely low. The time before the pill comes out is about three seconds, and only by seizing one hundredth of a second, this fleeting moment, can the 'One Hundred and One Points Pill Art' be successful.

The problem is that even if one uses divine sense, one cannot discover the process of the appearance of the strange patterns. The strange patterns are composed of micron-sized particles. Not to mention that they are difficult to discover with divine sense, even if one discovers them, one will not associate them with this aspect.

Without IBMz15's post-analysis of the massive amount of data, even consciousness would not have been able to react to that one hundredth of a second, and the strange pattern would have disappeared.

After this important discovery, Li Shiming began to try to use the 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy' to refine double the amount of pills, and applied the 'One Hundred and One Points of Alchemy' to every furnace of pills.

That is to say, with one set of pill materials, he can refine twenty pills, which allows him to accumulate a large amount of materials or pills.

More importantly, the production of top-grade elixirs has also doubled.

While Li Shiming was making progress in his research on alchemy, Li Yuanba was also busy in the Senluo Sect.

Li Yuanba returned to Wanjian Peak and was met by Elder Jian.

"Yuan Ba, it seems you didn't encounter any danger this time?" Elder Jian asked with concern.

After learning that Elder Lu had died on the battlefield, Elder Jian regretted letting Li Yuanba participate in this battle.

To be honest, the Foundation Establishment cultivators are just cannon fodder in this kind of war, and a large number of them die every time.

Of course, there are many examples of foundation-building cultivators gaining resources in such wars and thus standing out.

But this time even Elder Lu, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, died, which Elder Jian did not expect.

"Master, I didn't even use the Buddhist beads you gave me!" Li Yuanba replied with a smile.

He did not lie to his master, Elder Jian, but Elder Jian would never have thought that what he meant was not that he was not in danger, but that he did not need to use the sword beads when he encountered danger.

If Elder Lu had used his Golden Core strength to deal with him at that time, he would have taken out the Sword Intent Buddhist Beads and used them long ago.

Poor Elder Lu, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, was sucked into the Jade Foot Relic because of his greed. His combat consciousness, which had limited the Golden Core's strength, was not able to exert even one percent of his strength before he was killed by the "Superior Magical Electromagnetic Cannon".

If we were to select the mid-stage Jindan cultivator who died the most miserably in the world of immortal cultivation, Elder Lu would probably be ranked first.

"That's good. It seems that your sword intent is very solid. You must have gained a lot this time, right?" Elder Jian sensed Li Yuanba's sword intent and nodded.

"Master, I met a Buddha. He stood on white lotuses and moved among the lotuses at a speed that was almost flashing. I wonder what kind of martial arts this is?" When Li Yuanba heard his master ask this, he immediately asked his question.

He killed Buddha Jueyuan, which is shown in the record of military achievements and there is no need to hide it.

"The 'Lotus Steps' of Qianye Temple is the entry-level practice of Shenzutong!" Elder Jian was interested. After answering, he continued to explain: "Shenzutong is a kind of supernatural power. It is a practice of the rules of heaven and earth that can only be comprehended by Yuanying ancestors. Although 'Lotus Steps' is an entry-level practice to lay the foundation, it has already touched the edge of the rules of heaven and earth!"
