Return Of the Great Demon God
ch-66 Practicing Alchemy 2

Now Mo Shen was sitting on the floor of his room, and in front of Mo Shen were some tier 1 herbal ingredients that were not too rare.

Mo Shen's goal this time was to concoct a tier 1 pill whose main ingredient was a tier 1 Qi Grass, as the name suggests this herbal ingredient is shaped like a grass usually but if someone who can feel the Qi they can see that slowly this grass is absorbing the Qi of nature.

And the pill that Mo Shen was going to make right now was a level 1 Qi Gathering Pill. These Qi collecting pills were pills that were very familiar to a cultivator because with these pills they could speed up the gathering of Qi into their body.

The collected Qi could either accelerate their cultivation or replenish the Qi within the body. Although it sounds awesome but a cultivator should not eat too much of a pill, because each pill would have impurities derived from the herbal ingredients used to make the pill.

The amount of impurities on the pill depends on the level of how many alchemists made the pill, such as if a 1-star alchemist were to make a tier 1 pill then the impurities present on the pill were at most 30%, at most%, but as he practiced and rose in level to become a higher alchemist then the impurities within the pill could be reduced to as much as 5%.

The impurities on the pill could not be completely eliminated, even if he was a god-level alchemist then he made a tier 1 pill then the least amount of impurities that would be left in the pill was 2%.

But Mo Shen was different, he discovered a method that existed in the Ancient Alchemist God Book that there was one way to make a pill with impurities contained within it reaching 0%.

That is by using the method of refining and compaction of the pill tampa furnace, because even though as thorough as any alchemist in separating the dirt from the herbal ingredients but the dirt on the furnace wall will be exposed to the pills he made.

Without further ado Mo Shen focused himself and tried to bring out the Fire Essence he had just absorbed, he named the Fire Essence Devil Flame, and a moment after it came out a blackish-red Flame, when it was other cultivators they would feel very uncomfortable with this fire Mo Shen was holding.

But for Mo Shen who could use negative energy to cultivate, this Flame Essence felt extremely comfortable.

After a while of adapting to the flames Mo Shen was finally able to control the flames. And swiftly, he wrapped all the herbal ingredients in front of him with the Fire Essence.

Then under Mo Shen's control, all of the herbs flew like they had their own will, but they were all done by Mo Shen who used Fire Essence.

Slowly all the herbal ingredients began to melt, until finally all the herbal ingredients melted which signifies that the first stage of pill making that is melting has been completed.

After that Mo Shen gathered all the ingredients of the herbs that had melted in the future and performed the second stage that was, the cleaning of impurities. After all the melts of the herbal ingredients had gathered in front of Mo Shen and formed a circle the size of Mo Shen's ball of caste, Mo Shen immediately separated all the impurities present in the melted herbal ingredients.

The process of cleansing the impurities lasted a bit long as this was the first time Mo Shen had made a pill during his life. And finally after a few minutes passed the impurities present in the melted herbal ingredients had separated completely.

Now in front of Mo Shen had formed two melts, the other one was a young hijua, and the other was a pitch-black. The light green color is a melt of herbal ingredients that has separated from the dirt completely so as not to leave a single black color in it.

And the deep black color is the impurities of the herbal ingredients. Then Mo Shen easily aimed the dirt at an object used by Mo Shen to hold all the impurities from the herbal ingredients he would make into pills.

Then it was time to enter the third and final stage, which was pill compaction. Then with the melted herbal ingredients still wrapped in the Fire Essence and right in the middle of his two hands, Mo Shen immediately began to bring the melted herbal ingredients into pills.

Little by little the melting of herbal ingredients that were previously viscous now began to solidify and form a pill. Seeing that Mo Shen was starting to be happy because he would eventually become an alchemist but, just after the pleasure took place the melting of the herbal ingredients that was being solidified by Mo Shen suddenly just became unstable and finally.

Bbboomm

The melting of the herbal ingredients that had previously begun to solidify was now scattered in all directions, this signified that Mo Shen failed in the pill compaction process.

"Fuckin' Arrrggghh*n, but just a little more and the pill will be formed, what exactly is wrong? Why could the melted herbal ingredients that had previously begun to solidify into pills but suddenly became unstable and scattered just like that?.

Not willing to give up so easily Mo Shen tried again and again to make that level 1 Qi Gathering Pill.

And it didn't feel like it had been a full day Mo Shen tried to make a pill, but as a result there wasn't a single pill formed.

"Arrrggghh, shit I've started to get along with all this, why isn't there a single pill?. Has he missed something? Alright if at a time like this it seems that just by recalling all the ravings said by that person maybe I will find the cause of the failure of this pill formation"

Mo Shen closed his eyes and recalled all the talk with his friend in his previous life. It just so happened that Mo Shen's friend was a god who was good at pill-making, although not to bear the title of God of Pill or Alchemist God but he is already quite famous in the realm of gods for his greatness in making pills.

Mo Shen's friend was named Yao Zin, he was a Taoist type cultivator and was also an alchemist. A Tao-type cultivator was a cultivator who specialized in Yin and Yang Taoism, which was where if a cultivator wanted to cultivate they would simply absorb the Qi energy scattered in the realm.

But now the Taoist must absorb the energy of Yin and Yang. Yin is the cold energy that comes from most Taoist moons that absorb Yin energy is a female, it could have been a male Taoist to absorb Yin energy but little by little they would have lost their male hormones and would have behaved feminism like a female.

And Yang energy is a warm energy, this energy comes from the sun and most Taoists who absorb energy Yang is a man, it can also be for a woman to absorb this energy but, uh, this energy, over time they will behave like a man or become a tomboy.

It just so happened that Mo Shen's friend was a male Daoist who absorbed Yang's energy, also his alchemist level was very high, that is, Saint level.

But it was 3000 years ago, maybe at this time he had reached the Ancient level or maybe the god level.

Returning to Mo Shen, he was currently still looking for an advice on pill-making from his friend, until finally he found an advice that he thought was very appropriate with the situation experienced by Mo Shen at this time.

Those words that Yao Zin had put out were.

"The pill-making process is very simple, which is calm and do not rush"

After digesting more deeply about the words of his friend, Mo Shen finally found out why he always failed. Because in every pill making process Mo Shen was always in a hurry, especially when compaction pills.

Then because of the continuous failure Mo Shen became very emotional because every pill he made always failed.

"Huufftt, let's try again, and this time it should be quiet and not rushed"

This time Mo Shen calmed himself down like he was going to meditate before he finally came back again to make a pill.

The process was still the same as before but at the moment Mo Shen did so unhurriedly and in a calm condition. Until finally it came to the process where he always failed, namely pill compaction.

Here he did not rush in solidifying the pill like before, calmly he condensed the liquid from the herbal ingredients bit by bit.

And after a few minutes it finally formed a light green colored pill that signified that the pill making process carried out by Mo Shen had succeeded.

"Yyuuhuuu, my efforts did not end badly. The level 1 Qi Gatherer Pill was successfully created"
