Inside the alchemy furnace, the smoke billowed like a dragon, swirling and intertwining.
Like thousands of tiny smoky dragons, they constantly fight and devour each other, employing tactics such as alliances, division, and coordinated attacks. They seem to have gained sentience and become other kinds of creatures.
Bai Cang urged the fire-controlling spell, his eyes flashing with silver light, as if he could sense the "emotions" of the medicinal properties in the furnace and understand their desires and needs.
The various medicinal principles of monarch, minister, assistant, and guide, and their mutually reinforcing and restraining properties, stirred sparks of wisdom in his heart, giving rise to endless inspiration.
The extraordinary Minor Heavens Qi-Absorbing Elixir Method is not only reflected in its miraculous alchemy skills, but also in a profound understanding that touches the very source.
"Perhaps I don't need any pill formulas, or rather what I need most are pill formulas that can be adjusted at any time according to my own needs and are tailored to my needs."
A flash of inspiration struck Bai Cang: "What I need most right now is to replenish my essence and vital energy so that I can balance the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit and improve my cultivation at the fastest speed."
"Based on this, perhaps I can create the most suitable elixir for myself, instead of pursuing the elixir formulas prepared by others."
In the blink of an eye, the medicinal properties in the alchemy furnace were already in the final stage of fusion.
Bai Cang, however, did not follow the prescribed steps and used the pill-condensing technique to divide it into individual pills.
Instead, he opened his mouth and inhaled directly, taking the nascent pill into his mouth.
"Too many calming herbs are a complete waste of their medicinal properties. Ordinary calming and nourishing medicines have almost no effect on me, who has become a Yin spirit."
Bai Cang quickly refined the medicinal power. "The next step should be to reduce the proportion of calming and nourishing medicines, and use them only as a catalyst to better promote and enhance the effect of replenishing vital essence."
Thinking this, Bai Cang took out another storage talisman.
Once the incantation for absorbing the medicine is performed, all kinds of medicinal properties gather in the alchemical furnace.
This time, however, he was no longer simply pursuing the fusion of medicinal properties.
Instead, they adjust the ratio of the active ingredients to their own formulation, using the principles of mutual generation and restraint to conduct more experiments.
And so it went: refining pills, taking medicine, cultivating, then refining pills again, taking medicine again, cultivating again, and so on, in a continuous cycle. Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seven days, Bai Cang spent almost no time sleeping, except for a very short period of time resting using the "Dragon Sleeping" secret technique.
In just seven days, he had squandered all the medicinal herbs worth thousands of spirit pearls.
"Sure enough, alchemy is a money-burning business, and testing new formulas for medicines is an even bigger money-burning business."
Bai Cang slowly opened his eyes, a bitter expression flashing across his face.
Writing your own prescriptions is no easy task.
The formula for each elixir was determined only after countless trials and the tireless efforts of several generations.
Even with the support of the superb "Minor Heavens Qi Absorption Pill Technique", Bai Cang's desire to create his own pill formula still felt like "a mortal ascending straight to the ninth heaven".
The Lesser Heavens Qi-Absorbing Elixir Method is, in the end, merely a basic Daoist alchemy scripture.
No matter how skilled one is, one cannot conjure up a wealth of experience out of thin air, much less create a truly effective prescription.
Before I started: It's nothing, I already know it all.
After trying it yourself: No, you know nothing about the world of alchemists.
The depletion of medicinal herbs from thousands of spirit orbs only gave Bai Cang countless experiences of failure and taught him many dead ends.
It can be said that he achieved unprecedented success in the area of failure.
"The art of alchemy is vast and profound; indeed, arrogance is a dangerous thing!"
Bai Cang silently reflected on himself, "But it's okay, I have a cheat code, and I can afford the cost of failure. Even if I take turns forcing myself on his mother, there will be a day when he gives birth to a child... right?"
In his experimentation with new elixirs, he undoubtedly failed miserably.
However, Bai Cang's cultivation progress did not slow down much as a result.
Whether it's a useless pill or a poisonous pill, there's no possibility of it being "useless" in his hands; it's just a matter of how effective it is.
During these seven days, after burning thousands of spirit pearls worth of medicinal herbs, his cultivation level increased to the level of twenty-two apertures, and he successively opened four profound apertures.
He opened four orifices in seven days; who dares to say his progress is slow?
If outsiders knew about this incredible speed, they would probably use a "red-eye ray" to cut him into a thousand pieces.
Let alone opening four orifices in seven days, even opening four orifices in seventy days would make people envious to the point of turning purple, and would be hailed as a cultivation prodigy appearing once every five hundred years.
According to this pace, it would only take fourteen years, four months, and sixteen days to progress from entering the Daoist Qi cultivation to the completion of the three hundred acupoints, and one would have the potential to forge a superior Daoist foundation.
Still not satisfied? You want a bicycle?! Are you out of your mind?!
Even Han Qinhu, known as the "Fierce Tiger of Heshan" and hailed as the number one prodigy of the Heshan Sect in Xia Kingdom, remained at the Qi Refining stage for more than thirty years.
What? You're asking who the current number one prodigy of the Heshan Sect is?
Bai Cang replied: "I am but a humble person!"
He went from a refugee to a "master of twenty-two apertures" in just over three months.
If we start counting from the beginning of the Qi cultivation practice, it hasn't even been a month.
Han Qinhu is nothing compared to "Bai Datianjiao"; they're not even in the same league and don't even qualify to stage an accident.
As for something as trivial as devouring tens of thousands of spirit pearls worth of resources within a month.
Bai Cang said it was not worth mentioning!
Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem for him.
The problem is, damn it, I have no money!
"As the saying goes, talismans and artifacts can ruin three generations, while alchemy can destroy a lifetime. The ancients were right!"
Bai Cang sighed softly, "Taking pills is fun for a while, and it's even more fun if you keep taking them. Alchemy + taking pills, I'm so poor I'm practically a cockroach. How the hell am I so poor!"
"Judging by the days, Ah Hai should be back soon, right?"
For the first time, Bai Cang realized that he was surrounded by "Brother Canghai".
If Yu Canghai were to appear before him now, Bai Cang would absolutely not hesitate to hand over all his assets, including the market shops, ten acres of spirit fields, fertile land, and mines, to him for management.
As long as the other party can produce enough "gold coins" to support his continued cultivation.
"No! We can't be so short-sighted. We must rely on ourselves."
Bai Cang waited anxiously, but Yu Canghai never appeared. "But I have a feeling that my first self-created elixir formula may soon be completed!"
"Where's the money? What else can I exchange for money?"
He searched himself thoroughly, like a gambler who had lost everything and was desperately trying to find the "capital" to "win back" his losses.
No child cries every day, and no gambler loses every day.
"Oh right, I still have a thousand talisman coins!"
Suddenly, Bai Cang's eyes lit up, and he reached out and grabbed a handful of talisman coins from the void.
But the next second, his expression changed slightly.
This talisman money is totally weird!!!
