The alchemy process is divided into four stages: extraction, fusion, purification, and pill formation. The first stage is to extract the pure medicinal power from the medicinal materials.
This is why alchemists need to absorb a different kind of fire; the stronger the fire, the faster and more completely it can extract the essence of medicine from each herb.
The Spirit Fusion stage involves fusing the various medicinal essences that need to be fused in advance. This requires incredibly powerful spiritual energy to manipulate the flames and fuse these medicinal essences without causing them to go berserk.
After all the spirit fusion processes are completed, the heat needs to be increased to use extremely high temperatures to further refine any impurities that were generated after the spirit fusion, or any medicinal essence that needs to be refined a second time, ensuring that they are combined into one.
The final step is pill formation. Depending on the type of pill, the steps involved in pill formation vary. Some pills require all the medicinal power to be fused together in this step before forming the pill, while others only require refining the essence that was fused together in the previous step.
Of these four steps, only the first and second steps truly have an effect; whether or not the elixir can be formed depends entirely on the effectiveness of the first three steps.
The so-called Three-Turn Alchemy Method involves refining a medicinal herb three times during the refining process by mastering the flame. This is extremely difficult, as many medicinal herbs turn to ashes as soon as they come into contact with flame.
Having refined it three times, he possesses an extremely high level of mastery over spiritual power and flames.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for many disciples of Changchun Valley to exclaim in surprise. In the entire Qunguang Continent, the third level is already extremely strong. It is said that only those above the eighth rank can reach the ninth level.
Gu Yifeng's expression remained unchanged. He calmly organized the medicinal herbs he needed, and the alchemy furnace was fully heated to the right temperature. Then he began to put the herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one.
With a flick of the flames inside the alchemy furnace, he easily extracted the essence of the medicinal herbs. He calmly finished extracting all the medicinal essence in just twenty minutes, and there was still a long time before the hour was up.
On the other hand, Chun Mohan was still practicing the Three-Turn Alchemy Technique. Although her technique was not yet proficient, it would certainly help her in the final alchemy process.
Gu Yifeng continued on his own, and in the blink of an eye, he began to blend the essence of many medicinal herbs together. The energy surged and collided, causing the alchemy furnace to make loud banging noises.
The commotion instantly attracted everyone's attention, eliciting a burst of laughter and mockery.
However, the group's laughter soon ceased. Gu Yifeng continuously manipulated the alchemy furnace, causing the earth fire within to dance like spirits, pulsating with incredible agility and calming the impact.
Soon, only the time it takes for one incense stick to burn remained in an hour. Gu Yifeng directly entered the pill-forming stage. Under the scorching of the earth fire, the moisture in the emerald green medicinal essence gradually dissipated.
Under the constant scorching of the earth fire, the pill on his side gradually took shape, constantly rotating, and a fragrance of pills began to emanate. Just when it seemed that success was imminent, a wisp of soul fire shot out and headed straight for the pill.
"roar!"
Almost simultaneously, a dragon's roar resounded, instantly dispelling the soul fire. Without any obstruction, the power of the earth fire reached its limit at the last moment and erupted completely. Under the intense flames, a pill with a bluish body and cloud patterns was completed and floated out of the alchemy furnace.
"The pill is complete, grade five, Azure Cloud Pill."
Gu Yifeng calmly spoke, then put the pill into a jade box and handed it to the Third Elder.
"The Azure Cloud Pill! It's actually the Azure Cloud Pill, which is extremely difficult to refine!"
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng speak, the disciples present exclaimed in surprise. The Qingyun Pill was named after the blessing of wishing someone a smooth and successful career.
This pill can be taken by cultivators at the Concentration and Void Realms. After ingestion, it can greatly enhance a cultivator's foundation, making it extremely unlikely that they will encounter a bottleneck when breaking through to the next realm. Even if they do, they can easily break through it.
If you're lucky, you can break through on the spot. Compared to the Breakthrough Pills specifically for the Concentration Realm and the Void Realm, the Azure Cloud Pill has no side effects whatsoever. However, between the Concentration Realm and the Void Realm, you can only take one pill.
Therefore, this elixir is extremely precious; truly consuming one will grant one a meteoric rise to power.
Furthermore, for cultivators who suffer severe injuries and damage to their foundation during cultivation, as long as they are below the Taixu Realm, consuming the Qingyun Pill can have a restorative effect.
The finest Azure Cloud Pill, besides being azure in color, is adorned with starlight on its cloud-like patterns, making it appear as if starlight hangs above the azure clouds.
The one crafted by Gu Yifeng is not only adorned with starlight, but also reveals a moonlight phantom when viewed in sunlight, reaching the true pinnacle, and its grade is just half a step away from breaking through to the sixth rank.
The Third Elder sighed deeply. There was no need for Chun Mohan to complete the pill; the outcome was already clear: the victor would be Gu Yifeng.
"I hereby declare that the Ancient One has won this battle. Mo Han, you are hereby forbidden from harassing the Ancient One again. Now!"
The Third Elder gave a light snort and left in a huff. He also put the Azure Cloud Pill into his pocket, not to keep it for himself, but to hand it over to the Valley Master for inspection.
This scene completely stunned everyone. Some of the more shrewd people had already come to Gu Yifeng's side and started to offer insincere congratulations and flattery.
...
Sanqing Mountain.
Between the entrances to the upper and lower realms, young people have been emerging every day, but none of them have any connection to the upper realm, and each of them carries a unique aura.
Unfortunately, the leader of the Three Pure Ones Alliance had not yet emerged from seclusion, which was a great hardship for Zhuge Guan, who had to put on a smiling face and pretend to be friendly with these young people. The reason was simple: the marks and auras on these people were all recorded in the Three Pure Ones Alliance.
Whenever we encounter these ancient auras, we must try to win them over and cooperate with them.
Fortunately, these young people were not interested in the Three Pure Ones Alliance. After learning about the mainland, they began to travel around.
Ten days after Gu Yifeng left the Three Pure Alliance, all sorts of intelligence began to circulate throughout Youzhou. The major powers in the eight prefectures of Youzhou had all received challenges from strange young men.
After the challenge was issued, the outstanding young men from all sides of the Eight Prefectures were instantly killed and severely injured.
Such astonishing news could not be kept secret. The news spread to the other eight states immediately, and the entire continent was abuzz with speculation about the origins of these young people.
If it were just a battle between the younger generation, this matter wouldn't have caused such a big fuss. However, within a month, several forces in Youzhou were completely wiped out.
The traces left at the scene all pointed to the group of young people who were provoking and issuing challenges everywhere. Although these forces usually used some dirty tricks, everyone knew about them.
Who would have thought that even with a Dao Integration Realm ancestor in charge, these forces were still challenged, and things were getting even more lively.
Some even enlisted the help of the Tianji Sect, the top intelligence agency on the entire continent, to deduce the origins of this group of people. Then there was silence, and no one revealed the situation.
