The simple courtyard, though small in size, had the gentle sound of flowing spring water and the rustling of bamboo groves and sofas all around.
When Qin Xin entered the cave, he was unconscious and did not observe the changes around him. When he woke up, he found that the cave had been completed and a delicate courtyard had been built, which looked very similar to the courtyard where Qin Xin lived in the clan.
Qin Xin also knew that this building must have been specially commissioned by Qin Xue, because in this Eastern Wilderness Academy, the only person who was somewhat familiar with Qin Xin was Qin Xue.
Now that he has obtained a trace of the true essence of fire, the flame that Qin Xin condensed has changed from its original pale yellow to red, and its power is more than twice as high as before. When he uses martial arts again, the attack he condenses is also stronger.
He thrust the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff straight down, and instantly red flames surged outwards. Some lush trees began to curl up under the intense heat of the flames, and even the nearby springs and streams began to emit bursts of white mist.
"I wonder if this flame will be helpful for alchemy?"
Qin Xin thought to himself as he took out the spiritual medicine for refining the Qi Condensation Pill from Long Mu in the outer courtyard, which he had received from his Qiankun bag. Previously, Qin Xin had failed to refine the pill, and Dan Qing had helped him refine a Qi Condensation Pill with pill patterns. In addition, Xia Yue had given him a Qi Condensation Pill as a reward, and both of them were used up when Qin Xin entered the Qi Opening Realm.
All I have now are some second-grade pills that I've refined myself for healing and restoring true energy.
Reaching out, Qin Xin saw a pill furnace radiating warmth, its red flames now glowing brightly.
After calming his mind and resting, Qin Xin slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed. He sensed the medicinal herbs around him and then casually tossed a water lotus seed into the alchemy furnace.
Qin Xin focused his spiritual senses and calmed his mind, sensing the changes in the water spirit lotus seed.
Because of the intensified flames, the water spirit lotus seeds melted extremely quickly. Fortunately, Qin Xin reacted swiftly and reduced the flames quickly; otherwise, the round water spirit lotus seeds would probably have turned to ashes under the scorching red true fire.
As a ball of medicinal liquid brimming with spiritual energy was slowly drawn out, some black residual impurities were also directly discharged from the alchemy furnace.
Qin Xin stared intently at the essence of the spiritual medicine in the alchemy furnace, not daring to be distracted, and carefully controlled the changes in the flames inside the furnace.
As the essence of the medicinal herb churned and made a "gurgling" sound, black substances were continuously removed from the liquid until the essence became translucent and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance. Only then did Qin Xin stop controlling the flames.
With a flick of his wrist, the lids of the two black iron pill furnaces were opened, and the purified essence of the medicinal herbs flowed directly into the medicine bottle.
Having mastered the temperature of the red true fire in his hands, Qin Xin became even more adept at purifying the spiritual liquid of the elixir.
Danling elixir, Tianma jade essence, fire spirit root, jade marrow fungus, bone spirit fruit, qi-gathering grass, and spirit-condensing flower were successively put into the two black iron alchemy furnaces. Qin Xin then began to use the two fire pits to purify the medicinal liquid of the spiritual herbs.
Before long, eight jade bottles containing the essence of pure spiritual herbs were placed in front of Qin Xin.
After catching his breath, Qin Xin swallowed a Qi-restoring pill and began to recover the true energy consumed in refining the spiritual herbs. The fusion of the spiritual herb essence and the formation of the pill would be the key to refining the pill.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Xin exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Following the steps of fusing the essence of the spiritual herbs in the formula for the Condensing Aperture Pill, Qin Xin successively threw eight bottles of purified spiritual herb essence into two Xuan Iron Pill Furnaces.
"Sizzle!" .qqxsΠéw
"Slap! Slap!"
As the essence of the medicinal herbs fused together, they continuously emitted explosive sounds, while simultaneously repelling each other.
Qin Xin frowned. Only through the constant changes in the temperature of the flames did the pure spiritual liquid begin to show signs of fusion.
After about an hour, Qin Xin's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which dripped down his cheeks. However, before they could fall to the ground, they were steamed into a cloud of steam by the high temperature and disappeared.
Looking at the colorful essence of the spiritual herbs before him, Qin Xin frowned deeply, because he had seen the essence of the spiritual herbs condensed by Danqing before, which was a translucent blue color when they were fused together.
Clearly, the spiritual medicine and liquid that Qin Xin refined still contained many impurities.
As the red flames scorched the substance, the multicolored essence of the medicinal herbs surged and churned, while black impurities were expelled and spat out of the furnace.
However, once the essence of the elixir had shrunk to the size of a fist, no more black impurities were expelled. Nevertheless, the color was still due to the elixir essence not being purified to the required degree.
Qin Xin could no longer start over and could only grit his teeth and proceed with the condensation of the core.
"The Elixir Refining Technique for Living Beings!"
With a soft shout, Qin Xin's hand gestures changed rapidly. Due to the complexity of the technique, it was not as smooth and flowing as the alchemy. Fortunately, the true energy in his body was enough for him to use the alchemy technique.
Suddenly, crimson true fire energy surged up from the two black iron alchemy furnaces.
The multicolored essence of the medicinal herb, originally the size of a fist, quickly shrank to the size of a thumb.
"Thump!"
With a palm formed from true qi, he gently patted the bodies of the two alchemy furnaces. Instantly, an opening pill, which appeared to be green but had many other mottled colors on it, rolled into Qin Xin's hand.
Before feeling the intense heat emanating from his hands, Qin Xin couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed, because the Enlightenment Pill he had refined looked terrible. He feared that if he gave it to some martial artists, they wouldn't dare to use it, for fear that the pill was poisonous.
"Although the execution is a bit ugly, this really is a Qi Condensation Pill."
Seeing that Qin Xin had finished refining, Danqing floated directly in front of Qin Xin, stood aside and looked him over, "Congratulations, you are now a third-grade alchemist."
"This elixir is probably too dangerous for most people to take."
Qin Xin also made a self-deprecating joke. Now that he has mastered the method of refining the Qi Condensation Pill, he only needs to practice more to be able to refine Qi Condensation Pills of better quality and appearance.
Having learned from his previous success, Qin Xin was determined to refine all the remaining medicinal herbs in one go.
Two days later, a sudden explosion rang out from the courtyard built inside Qin Xin's cave, and a dark-skinned young man emerged from the slightly smoking courtyard.
Qin Xin had been refining pills for the past two days as if he hadn't rested at all, and only then did he finish refining all the remaining ingredients for the Condensing Aperture Pill. However, he also accommodating the difficulty of refining a third-grade pill.
Looking at the five Qi Condensation Pills and several puddles of black powder in front of him, Qin Xin's lips curled into a smile.
"Now I can finally call myself a third-grade alchemist!"
