The Divine God Against The Heavens
The Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 75
Ye Xiao kept a token representing his status as an Alchemist Apprentice in his spatial ring. Ye Xiao walked towards the medicinal plant shelf. The attendant who had previously told him to go to the Treasure Pavilion to purchase the cauldron followed him. He felt nervous as he thought maybe Ye Xiao would remember that grudge. But seeing that Ye Xiao did not care about him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xiao organized the memories of the Ancient Pill God and chose to refine the Body Tempering Pill which was also a tier one pill. As for the formula to purify the Body Tempering Pill, it was clear he had obtained it from that memory.
After looking at the shelf there for some time, he turned his head to look at the attendant and said, “Give me twenty taels of three-year-old Ginseng, twenty stalks of Morning Dew Profound Grass, eleven Spirits Grass stems and Twenty Red Leafed Potatoes. “
This was a medicinal herb needed to refine a Body Tempering Pill. Ye Xiao planned to buy twenty pieces of each medicinal herb. With this, he could refine the Tempering Body Pill twenty times. So, even though he failed to fix it three or four times, it didn't matter. He told the attendant to give him twenty pieces of each medicinal herb to purify the Body Tempering Pill except for the Spirit Grass. He only wanted eleven Spirit Grass stems because he already had nine more Spirit Grass stems. These nine stalks of Spirit Grass were left from the previous ten stalks of Spirit Grass that he had purchased to consolidate his foundation.
The attendant hurriedly took out every single medicinal herb that Ye Xiao told him very quickly this time and then he brought Ye Xiao to the counter and gave everything to the counter girl and said something in his ears and then he stood behind Ye Xiao.
The counter girl looked at each medicinal herb and then said, “Young master, you bought twenty taels of three-year-old Ginseng that cost 6,000 gold coins. The price of Twenty Stalks of Profound Grass Morning Dew was 10,000 gold coins, twenty Red Leaves The price of potatoes was 4,000 gold coins and eleven stalks of Spirit Grass cost 5,500 gold coins. After adding everything up, the price of this medicinal plant would be 25,500 gold coins. But since you are a member of our Alchemist Association, as an Alchemy Apprentice, you will get a 10% discount%. So you have to pay a total of 23,000 gold coins.”
Hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded his head and from the words of the counter girl, Ye Xiao also guessed one thing and that was when he continued refining pills and became an Alchemy Master or Grandmaster, as well, he would get more discounts after buying something from the Alchemist Association.
Ye Xiao did not have much money for him. Thus, he took out 230 Low-tier Spirit Stones which was equivalent to the sum of 23,000 gold coins and gave them to the counter girl.
“Spirit Stone …. It was a Low-Level Spirit Stone!” The counter girl was surprised to see the spirit stone. He looked at the spirit stone and asked, “Young master, are you sure you want to pay with spirit stones after all spirit stones are so rare and precious.”
“I'm sure. Take.” Ye Xiao smiled at him. Seeing this, the counter girl picked up the spirit stone with trembling hands. Then Ye Xiao turned around to leave. Just as Ye Xiao was about to exit the gate of the Alchemist Association, he turned around and threw the Low-class Spirit Sone at the attendant who helped him buy the medicinal herbs and then he left.
The attendant hurriedly caught the spirit stone and when he saw it, he could not help but tremble in excitement. The counter girl also saw this. He looked at the officer with jealousy.
…..
Ye Xiao returned and returned to his room. And then he entered the world within the Heavenly Pearl. He's Again appearing in the Grassland. Then he walked on the Jade Road and arrived in front of the Nine-Tiered Pagoda. He re-entered and appeared on the First Floor of the Nine Floors Pagoda.
He was planning to purify the Body Tempering Pill here for two reasons.
The first is, the flow of time is slow here. Three days here equals one day outside. Since this was his first time refining pills, he had no idea how long it would take him to successfully refine them. He only has one day left. After that the second round of competition will begin.
He then took out all the medicinal herbs and cauldrons given by his master, Grandmaster Wang. Then place the medicinal plants needed to purify the Body Tempering Pill inside the cauldron. After this, every step should be done very precisely.
He took a deep breath and began to organize his thoughts.
The flame was poured into the alchemy cauldron and, supporting the medicinal herbs within it and drying it out. But for some reason, there was a remnant of spirit energy left inside the dried medicinal herb. Thus, he failed in his first attempt to refine the pill.
Nevertheless, Ye Xiao was not discouraged by this. He was expecting this too.
After all, he also learned a few things due to his first experiment. He learned how powerful his fire was and that he needed to increase control over his Fire Beast.
Ye Xiao took the next set of herbs and began his next attempt to refine the Body Tempering Pill. This time, he made sure to pay special attention to his control, to manipulate the flames properly. He carefully supported the medicinal herbs within the cauldron. But again the result failed.
He again tried to refine the pill but once again he failed.
After experiencing failure three times in a row, Ye Xiao inevitably felt a bit sad. But then again, he had to refine the pill no matter what. And unlike these three pill refining efforts were futile. He already had the knowledge and experience of the Ancient Pill God and now his control over the Fire Beast had also increased to its peak. And he also built his own experience on concocting pellets.
He rested for some time and then he tried to refine the Tempering Body Pill for the fourth time.
At his fourth attempt, he had managed to dry the medicinal herbs and extract all of his Spirit Qi from it. Now he was entering the next phase of alchemy.
As he tried to concoct the Tempering Body Pill, he peered into the cauldron with the help of his spiritual power. He looked at the various colors of Spirit Qi emitted by the medicinal plants. Now he began to manipulate this Spirit Qi, twisting it to form a whirlpool. The dried medicinal herbs were also injected by his spirit energy and converted into medicinal powder.
Ye Xiao was now at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. He had a good amount of Spirit Energy, yet he was already nearing his limit. Controlling the Fire Beast and manipulating it at all times to raise and lower its temperature, resulted in him reaching his limit.
The whirlpool that Ye Xiao formed was too big for one pill so he divided the whirlpool into four equal whirlpools and then he started fusing the four Spirit Qi vortices with the four parts same with the power of medicine. While doing this, Ye Xiao's brows started to wrinkle and he was sweating profusely from his forehead.
Not only did he need to use his spirit energy to control the flame, he also needed it to control the Spirit Qi vortex as well as the medicinal powder and fuse it together. That forced him to consume a large amount of Spirit Energy.
If anyone was here and saw him do this, they would definitely regard Ye Xiao as a lunatic. Normally, alchemists always formed one pill in the first time they refined a pill but Ye Xiao attempted to form four pills at once. No wonder, it resulted in him consuming a massive amount of his spirit energy, bringing it to its limit.
The four whirlpools of Spirit Qi revolved swiftly while fusing with the medicinal powder. Some time later, he finally fused them together and gave them a circular shape, forming four pills.
“I finally succeeded. I ended up spending the entire day just to refine these four Body Tempering Pills. Alchemy really takes a lot of time.” Ye Xiao said to himself as he sighed.
