Taking the first step gave Ling Tian a huge boost of confidence, and with his experience, the success rate of extracting several auxiliary spiritual medicine liquids increased sharply.
Although he still couldn't condense the pill in the end, it was still a huge improvement.
"The success rate for extracting the medicinal liquid is already 80%, but the pill formation is still not working. Even with the addition of the spiritual liquid, the control of the spiritual power at the moment of pill formation is still not precise enough."
Every time Ling Tian failed, he would stop to think about the reasons. It was this rigorous attitude that allowed him to finally achieve a breakthrough a week later.
"It's done. I finally succeeded."
Ling Tian was filled with emotion as he held the three gray-white pills poured out of the medicine cauldron. It took him more than a month to succeed, and this was only achieved with the help of the spiritual liquid. It was obvious that his talent was not that good, but fortunately, hard work pays off.
"It's really not easy. Although it's only of low quality, it's still a qualitative leap."
Ling Tian did not get complacent. Only three pills were produced in one furnace, and they were of the lowest grade and inferior quality. No one would use this kind of pill for cultivation unless they had to.
Ling Tian naturally wouldn't take it. For him, he wouldn't take anything that wasn't top quality. The space in his body didn't allow him to have the strength to waste it.
"continue!"
Ling Tian was once again immersed in the joy of alchemy. Every progress allowed him to deepen his understanding of alchemy techniques, and his almost crazy alchemy also benefited him a lot. While the success rate rose sharply, the rate of pill production and the quality of the pills also increased significantly.
"Yes, this furnace actually produced seven pills, and four of them are top-grade."
It is indeed good. With this batch of pills, Ling Tian's pill yield rate has reached 70%. Although it is only a low-level pill like Yuanli Pill, being able to reach this level in three months has surpassed many first-level alchemists who have practiced systematically.
After taking out a jade bottle and putting away four top-grade Yuanli Pills, Ling Tian continued to refine the pills. As the number of times increased, his control over spiritual power became more and more refined, which also enabled him to steadily increase the number of top-grade pills he refined.
Although the flow rate in the space is four times that of the outside world, under his crazy refining mode, most of the spiritual medicines for refining Yuanli Dan in the space have been consumed in half a year. If they are consumed further, it will affect their reproduction speed.
"Almost done. Six bottles contain nearly a thousand top-grade pills. This is more than enough to practice the Five Viscera Refining Heaven Technique. It's time to get started."
After neglecting sleep and food for more than half a year, Ling Tian was exhausted both physically and mentally. In order to practice this technique in the best mental state, Ling Tian did nothing for three consecutive days. He just ate and slept, and after his tiredness completely dissipated, he meditated again to empty his mind.
Everything was ready, Ling Tian took out the Five Viscera Refining Heaven Technique.
"Open the meridians and enter the viscera, let the Qi flow into the spiritual sea, divide and send it, strengthen the viscera to absorb the Qi, and gather it into a sea..."
The most critical step in the Five Viscera Refining Heaven Technique is the first one. One must use spiritual power to open up the hidden meridians between the Qi Sea and the five internal organs. This process is extremely dangerous and requires inhuman willpower and patience, especially for someone like Ling Tian who is not very talented. The hidden meridians are very small and weak, and if one is not careful, the meridians will be broken and he will suffer serious injuries or even death.
Ling Tian took a few deep breaths, his eyes determined, then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, concentrating on feeling. After a while, he finally found the hidden meridian. He controlled a trace of spiritual power and began to clear the hidden meridian in the liver.
"Hiss~"
When that trace of spiritual power entered the hidden vein, a piercing pain made Ling Tian gasp. In less than two breaths, his entire back was soaked with sweat. It was so painful, but he had already started and there was no way to stop. Ling Tian had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.
Fortunately, during the past six months of crazy alchemy, his fine control over spiritual power has reached the level of perfection, otherwise he would have been buried long ago.
The spiritual power advanced extremely slowly, and the deeper it went, the more intense the pain became. Even though Ling Tian had amazing willpower, he had to rely on the pain caused by biting his tongue to stay awake. He even didn't notice the blood flowing out even when his fingernails were dug into the flesh of his palms.
At this moment, Ling Tian was like an old monk in meditation, and only the beads of cold sweat on his forehead revealed the pain that penetrated deep into his bones.
After a day, Ling Tian lost a lot of weight, even his cheeks were sunken. Even with such pain, only one-third of his meridians were unblocked. However, there were many benefits to going through a whole day of inhuman self-abuse. His pain tolerance had increased several times. Moreover, in this process, Ling Tian's biggest gain was discovering another powerful function of the spiritual liquid, its repair ability.
This was an unexpected discovery when he swallowed the medicine due to lack of spiritual power. This discovery also made Ling Tian bolder. The spiritual power used to dredge the meridians increased a lot. Although the pain was magnified several times, his life was not in danger. Moreover, the repaired meridians were actually slightly strengthened, which made Ling Tian overjoyed.
With the help of the spiritual liquid, Ling Tian decided not to be conservative anymore. The spiritual power transmitted to expand the meridians increased several times. Of course, the pain also increased dozens of times, but with the rapid repair of the spiritual liquid, the extreme pain only lasted for a breath. Since he would not die, he would fight to the death.
"It's done!"
With his radical approach, he finally opened up the meridian connecting to the liver on the third day.
