Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.26 - First Pill
In 1 Week Xiang Yang's cultivation increased quite rapidly. All thanks to the resources contained within the dimensional ring of Xiao Chong's relic.
Most Xiang Yang only consumed tier 2 pills, there were only a few at tier 3, whereas on top of that, he never even touched them.
It was because if Xiang Yang consumed a high-tier pill with his current cultivation excessively, then it could have devastating effects on his cultivation foundation.
Although with the cultivation level True Fondation should be a cultivator should not consume a tier 3 pill as it would have bad effects on his body, it was different from Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang now had a strong foundation for consuming tier 3 pills. It was because he often trained physically, as well as his body was already extremely strong after obtaining the Golden Dragon blood essence.
The real Xiang Yang could also consume a tier 4 pill, yet he did not do so because he did not want to rush that might even have a bad effect on him later on.
Xiang Yang had also claimed this World Ring after inserting a soul mark on the formation array that was under Xiao Chong's bed.
Xiang Yang had already come out once from the small dimension to test whether he could indeed come out or not. After that Xiang Yang went back in and never came out again.
As for Cai'er.
The little snake was a few inches longer, while its body did not appear to change in size or shape.
Moreover, Cai'er still did not even have cultivation after all the resources he consumed.
This made Xiang Yang confused, whether it was possible that Cai'er had the same condition as himself, had a special Spiritual Root that required great resources to be able to cultivate it.
Although Xiang Yang was very curious but he also could not ask Cai'er, because Cai'er's answer was definitely just a hiss not clear what it meant.
Cai'er was even occasionally seen grumbling with a hissing sound that was of course ignored by Xiang Yang.
The young man was really curious about the origin of the little snake. Aside from understanding the language, having his own feelings and thoughts, not doing something based on instincts like Spirit Beasts in general, and also the little snake was able to read.
Out of nowhere the little snake could read the writing.
Although Xiang Yang did not know for sure whether Cai'er could read or not, but sometimes Cai'er pulled the book out of the bookcase, opened the book and was seen reading it.
Even Xiang Yang could never help himself and ended up asking where Cai'er came from, but of course it was only Cai'er's hiss that he heard, making Xiang Yang annoyed.
Is Cai'er actually able to talk but deliberately just hissing?
Xiang Yang was currently reading a book on the basis of alchemy, ways to process herbs into pills with a furnace and fire temperature controller to fuse and refine herbs within the furnace.
Xiang Yang seemed to be reading the last sheet of the basic alchemy book, until a while later, Xiang Yang closed the book with a steadfast expression.
"All right, let's try!" Xiang Yang first put the book in its original place, before shaking his hand took out a pill furnace.
The height of the furnace is just below the knee, arguably the height and size is the same as a gas cylinder.
It was an ordinary pill furnace, there was quite a lot inside his dimensional ring.
"For the first time, I want to make the Dragon Body Potion into a Dragon Body Pill!" Xiang Yang smiled faintly, then opened his right palm.
Instantly a wave of energy formed, creating a ball of white color energy that gave off a calm white aura.
A moment later the white energy ball gave rise to sparks, until suddenly the energy ball turned completely into fire.
Xiang Yang could turn his Yang energy into fire.
Xiang Yang lit the furnace with his fire, then started the process of making pills.
Xiang Yang was very careful in every process, as this would be his first experience in making pills.
Fire temperature control is very difficult, because each herbal ingredient requires different temperatures for melting, which is why Xiang Yang concentrates high.
Until a few minutes have passed...
*BOMBS!
All the herbs exploded within the furnace, giving off black smoke and a faint smell.
"It's really hard to control the temperature of a fire!" Xiang Yang let out a disappointed breath.
But the beginning was not the end, so Xiang Yang would not just give up.
The young man again repeated the process of making the Dragon Body Pill.
Until the second and third experiments continued to fail, Xiang Yang was a little frustrated but not discouraged, he actually felt increasingly challenged.
Xiang Yang rested for a while then resumed his alchemy.
In the fourth experiment, Xiang Yang looked calmer, but his concentration was higher than before.
He thought maybe he failed because he was too nervous.
Cai'er himself was being seen reading a book, he had just opened a new leaf, occasionally he glanced towards Xiang Yang.
A few minutes passed, sweaty droplets started dripping from Xiang Yang's cheeks.
"A little more, just compaction!" he murmured in the heart.
Now in the furnace, all the materials had melted, a moment later all the materials were centered at two points, until a circle like a marble was formed.
Xiang Yang opened his eyes with a breath of breath, yet a satisfied smile adorned his lips.
"Finally done! My first pill, the Dragon Body Pill!" Xiang Yang looked into the furnace, finding two pills as big as small marbles.
Xiang Yang took out two pills that still felt warm because they were new so, a fragrant aroma smelled in his nose.
"Heheh, I didn't think my first pill was a low quality level 2 pill! Now don't I already become an intermediate alchemist!" Xiang Yang smiled faintly.
Perhaps Xiang Yang was the first alchemist to make a tier 2 pill the first pill. Supposedly someone who was just starting the alchemist path would start refining from tier 1 pills onwards, but Xiang Yang was precisely starting from tier 2 pills.
"You want to try it Cai'er? This is the Dragon Body Potion in the pill version!" Xiang Yang threw one pill at Cai'er.
With a swift Cai'er catch using his mouth, his face looked cheerful.
Not doubting Xiang Yang's words, Cai'er directly swallowed the pill, Xiang Yang also did the same.
Both of them instantly focused on absorbing the benefits of the pill.
A few minutes passed, Xiang Yang opened his eyes, he could faintly feel his physical strength increasing, making him smile satisfied with the effects of the first pill of his creation.
