After Qin Xin had thoroughly reviewed the information in his mind, he still felt somewhat dizzy. It was his first time encountering a recipe for a fourth-grade pill, and the sheer volume of information within it was far more complex than he had anticipated.
Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Mysterious Leaf Grass, Purple Dragon Emperor Ginseng, Nine-Grade Yellow Ganoderma, Spirit Candle Flower...
Looking at the materials for refining the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, Qin Xin rubbed his head. The complexity of refining this pill was several times greater than that of the third-grade pill, the Exploding Qi Pill.
"It's just a fourth-grade pill, and it's already stumped you. Kid, you need to practice more."
Danqing's voice rang out from the side as he looked at Qin Xin's small face, which was filled with worry.
"Who said it stumped me? I'm just thinking about it."
Qin Xin, of course, refused to admit defeat.
This alchemy competition also puts considerable pressure on Qin Xin. Although the main purpose is to help the Zhan Clan, the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree can be of some help to Danqing, but that is the reward for the champion.
The fact that the royal family of the Ding Dynasty could offer this as a reward must mean they were very confident in the eldest prince's exceptional alchemy skills.
Therefore, for Qin Xin, the only way to win the championship is to refine the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill.
For a moment, the entire alchemy room fell silent, with only the "popping" sound of the true fire burning in the furnace.
Qin Xin also closed his eyes tightly, seemingly entering a peculiar state, his breathing steady.
Within Qin Xin's Niwan Palace, the mysterious fragment of the map, infused with spiritual consciousness, evolved into an illusory alchemy cauldron. Within it were various spiritual herbs, and fine threads of spiritual energy were entwined within. Like peeling silk from a cocoon, impurities were continuously removed, and the spiritual herbs began to slowly fuse together.
Within this illusory alchemy cauldron, the refining steps of the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill were continuously practiced.
When controlling the flames, even the slightest mistake was like a chain reaction, causing the fine threads of spiritual energy within the illusory cauldron to instantly become disordered.
The illusory alchemy cauldron also collapsed instantly.
The immense consumption of spiritual energy and the dizziness in his mind forced Qin Xin to stop. Under the automatic operation of the Supreme Divine Evolution Technique, the airflow from the heavens slowly flowed down, passing through a special circulation path and gradually transforming into spiritual power, flowing into his Niwan Palace. Finally, through the refinement of the Spirit Devouring Stone, the spiritual power was transformed into strands of spiritual consciousness.
This method of refining elixirs through spiritual consciousness within the Niwan Palace was not bestowed by Danqing, but rather something Qin Xin himself comprehended.
During the third-grade alchemist assessment at the Black Dragon City Pill Tower, Qin Xin entered a strange state while refining the third-grade pill, the Explosive Qi Pill. This allowed him to complete the pill refining at the last moment before the two Xuan Iron Pill Furnaces exploded.
The result of entering this strange state was that Qin Xin mastered the ability to infuse his spiritual consciousness into the mysterious fragment of the map, which could then conjure a pill cauldron. Through mental practice, he could perform a kind of pre-refining of pills.
However, this would consume an extremely large amount of spiritual energy. The more complex the pill formula, the greater the amount of spiritual energy required. Fortunately, this Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill was a fourth-grade pill, and Qin Xin's spiritual energy at the early stage of the Spiritual Travel Realm could barely support it.
As for the mysterious fragment of the map possessing such abilities, Danqing was completely unaware of it. He was quite surprised and somewhat envious of Qin Xin's discovery, since this pre-refinement method could save alchemists a lot of detours during the alchemy process and greatly increase the success rate of alchemy...
A phantom spirit lay quietly to one side, its eyes fixed on the boy before the refined iron furnace. And so, day turned into night, and then night turned back into day.
Time passed, and silence fell.
~~~~~~
In an exquisite woman's boudoir, a woman dressed in a white gauze nightgown, her fair skin faintly visible, is lying on the bed with her feet crossed, nestled in the arms of another woman with a fuller figure. Her long, straight, half-dry black hair cascades down like a waterfall.
The woman who had just finished washing up was Zhan Qingqi, and the woman with a fuller figure was Zhan Qingyue.
Since both women had removed their makeup and hair, they appeared somewhat languid, lacking their usual aloofness and instead seeming quite intimate.
"Sister, you said Qin Xin has been in the alchemy room for more than three days. Do you think he can finish refining that fourth-grade pill?"
Zhan Qingqi twisted her slender waist and spoke with some concern.
"Now we have no choice but to trust him."
Zhan Qingyue's willow-leaf-like eyebrows furrowed as she gently stroked Zhan Qingqi's long, straight black hair and spoke softly.
"It's all my fault for dragging my sister down. If it weren't for me, with her talent, she would have already become a fourth-grade alchemist."
Zhan Qingqi got up and sat up. Her thin, strapless bodice was faintly visible in the candlelight, appearing larger than it had been during the day, perhaps due to the restrictive nature of her clothing.
"How can sisters be implicated?"
Looking at her younger sister, Zhan Qingyue noticed that she no longer had her usual aloofness, but instead wore a gentle smile.
"It's just for me, my sister will have to marry the same man as me in the future..."
"So what? It's perfect that I can take care of you for the rest of your life."
Zhan Qingyue interrupted Zhan Qingqi before she could finish speaking, and then murmured softly, "I hope Qin Xin can succeed."
"I believe that Junior Brother Qin Xin can help my Zhan clan resolve this crisis."
Zhan Qingqi gently rested her chin on her hand, and as she spoke, a blue-green fish leaping pattern flashed across her neck. Zhan Qingyue also had the same pattern on her neck, but this one was red and black. (Biquge)
The two patterns seem to be intricately intertwined, mutually reinforcing and supporting each other.
~~~~~~
Achoo!
A series of loud sneezes echoed in the alchemy room.
At this moment, Qin Xin rubbed his slightly itchy nose, looked at the black ash of spiritual herbs on the ground, and shook his head.
He then took out a jade bottle emitting a pale yellow spiritual light from his pocket, and then took out a round, pale yellow pill from it.
"Although we have successfully refined the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, the success rate is still a bit low."
Feeling the still-warm Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill in his hand, Qin Xin seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
Although Qin Xin avoided many mistakes by using this method of pre-refining pills, the refining process for fourth-grade pills was extremely complicated, and there would always be some omissions or oversights.
Even the slightest mistake could result in the complete destruction of the elixir, turning it into ashes.
The Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill in his hand was only successfully refined by Qin Xin after four failed attempts.
"Let's test the refining results first."
Without hesitation, Qin Xin swallowed the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill directly.
The pill dissolved immediately upon entering the mouth, and a pale yellow stream of energy surged into every part of the body.
A stinging sensation swept through my entire body.
"This is the Primordial Chaos True Qi?"
Feeling the constant impact of the pale yellow energy within his body, Qin Xin looked puzzled, because after Danqing's improvement, the medicinal effects seemed to have changed slightly.
As the black staff spirit within the martial pill quietly circulated, the stinging sensation throughout the body immediately dissipated.
As the Xuanhuang True Qi washed over him, a tingling sensation filled his entire body.
About an hour later, apart from the portion that was lost, the rest of the medicinal power in the body was basically completely refined and integrated into the bones and blood vessels. The true qi in the true meridians and the three true acupoints became even more abundant, and the fourth true acupoint even showed faint signs of taking shape.
Although it is only a tiny speck of light, like a grain of rice, it is only a matter of time before it reaches the fourth level of the Awakening Realm.
"The potency of this Yellow Dragon Profound Truth Pill is probably far beyond that of ordinary fifth-grade pills!"
Qin Xin sighed inwardly, because a single pill had almost allowed him to advance to the fourth level of the Aperture Opening Realm. If those martial artists who had been stuck in the Aperture Opening Realm for many years knew about it, the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill that Qin Xin had refined would probably fetch an astronomical price.
With fists clenched tightly, a burst of power erupted, the terrifying force of their bodies creating a deafening explosion.
"Aragami Battle Body?"
After retracting his fist, Qin Xin examined his palm, a hint of surprise on his face.
