The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 21
The reason why concocting pills was such a difficult task was because it was difficult to control the temperature level.
If one were to use firewood to ignite a fire, it would be extremely difficult to control the heat level of the flame, let alone achieve the precision required to concoct pills. In theory, the higher the tier of the alchemy pill, the stricter the requirements for controlling fire.
In addition to precision, the alchemist must also be able to stimulate heat to an extreme level; the alchemist's cultivation must be extremely high in order to achieve this. Normally, an alchemist should be able to concoct pills that were at most one level higher than his own cultivation level.
For example, for Ling Han who was at the Body Refining Tier, the limit had to be concocting a middle-tier Yellow Grade pill.
However, the main requirement was the ability to control fire. There was also a certain requirement for the heat level, which was why a cultivation level that was too low would make pill concocting impossible, the minimum was the seventh layer of the Body Refining Tier. Ling Han was only at the fourth layer of Body Refining Tier, yet he dared to concoct pills .. The reason why he dared to do that lay in his Spirit Base.
Since he possessed the Five Elements Mix Chaos Lotus, the Origin Power within his body could be transformed into Gold, Wood, Water, Fire or Earth Alignment. The level of heat he could control was not very high, the maximum level was four hundred degrees, but it was enough to concoct the Little Cloud and Water Pill. [ED/N: Most likely Celsius]
'It's worthy of a name" The Five Mixed Elements Chaos Lotus "-the five elements are in an interdependent relationship with each other, and seemingly endless! ' Ling Han praised inwardly. An ordinary Flame Alignment Spirit Base at Body Refining Level would only be able to release flames that could reach a maximum temperature of two hundred degrees. Even he who had a pure Fire Alignment Spirit Base in his last life was no different.
The Five Elements Mix Chaos Lotus could transform into one of the five elements of partisanship, which was something that the Nine Yang Fire Spirit Base could never compare to.
It was indeed worthy of the name of the Eternal Grade Spirit Base!
Ling Han's left hand continued to spin, heating up every nook and cranny of the furnace. The heat required for different parts of the furnace is different – in the future, to concoct high-grade alchemy pills will require a furnace with high specifications, such as heat penetration rate and heat resistance level, the, to name a few of them. A good furnace was something where every self-respecting alchemist would go to war!
Occasionally, he would put one of the medicinal ingredients into the furnace. Sometimes, he would open the lid of the furnace, while elsewhere, he would close it. His practiced movements were carried out at such a fast speed that it would only blur in the eyes of any observer.
Liu Yu Tong, who had been standing at the side, was already speechless, his eyes widening.
Thankfully he was not an alchemist and thus did not really have much understanding of this profession. Otherwise, if he knew that/that the lowest requirement for the cultivation level of an alchemist was the seventh layer of the Body Refining Level, then he would definitely be more surprised.
Then again, he was already quite surprised now. A few more times and he might faint from extreme shock.
The higher the temperature of the flames, the more Origin Power the alchemist had to use. Very quickly, Ling Han felt that he was almost exhausted, so he quickly threw the Origin Back pill into his mouth, chewed it up and immediately felt the Origin Power entering his body bit by bit, allow him to continue the process.
Time passed slowly, and Ling Han continued to drink Return Origin Pills. After two hours, Ling Han suddenly shouted loudly and bit his tongue, fresh blood spilled. Under the power of Lone Wolf's Blood, his origin power suddenly rose to another level, causing the heat level of the flames to rise to around six hundred degrees.
"Pil's done!" He suddenly pulled out the fire. The last wave of fire was the finishing touch that increased the effect of the alchemy pill by about five percent.
Unfortunately, a temperature of four hundred degrees was the limit. He could only injure himself to stimulate the Blood Lone Wolf if he wanted to release the six hundred degree heat.
He lifted the lid of the furnace, and a faint medicinal fragrance instantly smelled.
Liu Yu Tong could not help coming closer to peek inside the furnace. There were exactly seventeen vermilion-colored round pills inside. The surface of the pill gleamed seductively, looking almost translucent. Although he himself knew nothing about alchemy, he was sure Ling Han had successfully concocted the pill.
"You're really weird!" He said, a strange expression in his eyes.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, "You'll get used to it soon."
Liu Yu Tong was unsure whether he would go insane or numb under the constant attacks of this miracle.
Ling Han took the Little Cloud and Water Pill, swallowed it in one mouthful and immediately began cultivating.
'Only an Immortal Grade Spirit Base is capable of withstanding such intensity,' Ling Han thought as he circulated the Five Elements Heaven Grade Skill to transform the incoming Spiritual Qi into his own Original Power, fill his limbs and blood vessels with it.
An hour later, the medicinal effects of the Little Cloud and the first Water Pill ran out. Ling Han swallowed the second pill and continued cultivating.
However, by the time the medicinal effects of the third Little Cloud and Water Pill were also exhausted, Ling Han's tolerance level had also reached its limit. He felt extremely tired, and his upper body immediately rolled over as he fell asleep on the floor right where he was.
Liu Yu Tong, who had been beside him all this time, could not help but shake his head. He then helped Ling Han onto the bed and attentively took off his shoes and covered them with a blanket. He then came out of the inner room and fell asleep in a chair in the outer room.
He was a very responsible follower whose main task was to protect Ling Han.
Night passed. When Ling Han opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was his bed canopy, which caused him to be a little surprised since he did not remember getting into bed last night.
But this isn't important.
He smiled, as his cultivation level once again rose to a whole new level as he broke through to the fifth layer of Body Refining Level.
The reason why he was able to break through the two layers yesterday was because the past cultivation level of this body was too slow. The first time the Five Elements Mix Chaos Lotus was active at full power naturally caused a one-time eruption. Of course, this will not happen again in the future.
"You, you have broken through again!" When Ling Han stepped out of the internal space, Liu Yu Tong immediately looked as if he had seen a ghost. He even stumbled over his words, his eyes fixed on the gaze directed at Ling Han.
"It's just the Body Refining Level, this speed is normal," Ling Han said, completely calm down.
'Shit, that's normal!'
Liu Yu Tong had almost gone crazy. After all, as someone who possessed a Heaven Class Spirit Base, he spent ten days breaking through to the second layer of the Body Refining Level once he stepped into the path of a cultivator. As for breaking through from the fourth layer to the fifth layer of Body Refining Level, it took twenty-five days.
How does twenty-five days compare to one night?
"You won't break through to the sixth layer of the Body Refining Level tomorrow, right?" Liu Yu Tong asked suddenly.
Ling Han thought for a moment, before shaking his head and saying, "No."
Hearing this, Liu Yu Tong finally let go of the breath he was holding. If Ling Han said "yes", he might really have gone crazy.
"I should have been able to the day after," Ling Han continued after a short pause.
The monster! He must be a monster!
Liu Yu Tong looked at him in annoyance, determined that he would never try to guess the cultivation speed of this man again. After all, he decided he would only pretend that/that he was a monster, so no matter what speed he cultivated, he would not find it strange in any way.
Ling Han laughed. After breakfast, he once again began cultivating behind closed doors.
However, there was a limit to one's vitality. He could not possibly cultivate without end. Thus, even if he started his cultivation during the day, in fact, it did not really increase his cultivation speed much. However, he was now struggling against time, so it would be good even if there was only a small increase in his cultivation speed.
Meanwhile, Liu Yu Tong's progress was also extremely fast. With the help of Heaven Grade cultivation skills, he would be able to reach the peak period of the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier within a maximum of two months, and even he himself was in a state of disbelief over this kind of cultivation speed.
