Chapter 496: Pure Yuan Golden Pill
Inside the secret room, Shen Xiang's alchemy furnace began to tremble with a loud bang.
"This is the fifth time!" Shen Xiang was lying on the ground, sweating profusely. It was the first time that he failed so many times using the refining method. This Pure Yuan Golden Pill was indeed very difficult to refine.
This mentally exhausting exercise made his head feel heavy. He closed his eyes and took a rest, thinking about the reasons for his failure.
"Damn it, it's all because of those leaves. Why do the same leaves have completely different properties? Some are very stubborn and need to be burned by fire, while others are very gentle and will disappear if you are not careful. Moreover, once they disappear, it causes chaos in the alchemy furnace and detonates the Pure Yuan Fruit." Shen Xiang had a huge headache. There were dozens of leaves, and each one was of a different size. It was equivalent to dozens of spiritual medicines with different properties, and they were either very stubborn or very fragile.
Adding those auxiliary medicinal materials, it is equivalent to refining the changes of sixty or seventy kinds of medicinal materials at the same time, which makes Shen Xiang very troubled.
"These leaves are all the same at the beginning, but after being burned by flames, they will produce various mutations. Don't underestimate these leaves, otherwise they will not be the main medicinal materials! You have to grasp the properties of each leaf as soon as those leaves mutate, and remember them firmly so that you can perform the correct refining." Su Meiyao said.
The leaves did not mutate at the same time, some were a little faster, some were a little slower, and if you were not careful, you would lose control of it. It seemed like all the leaves mutated in an instant, but it was not, because there was a very slight time difference.
Therefore, Shen Xiang had to remember the properties of dozens of leaves within half a second, and then practice quickly. Based on the results of the practice, he had to make hasty adjustments within half a second, and then practice again. For the next adjustment, he only had half a second.
"An alchemist who has reached the level of Alchemy King can break down a moment into an hour. Although it is only a moment, in the eyes of those Alchemy Kings, it will become as slow as an hour, so they have enough time to practice! You should know that the practice method requires a very high level of time control. Sometimes less than half a moment can make you fail!"
"You have to know that sometimes it takes thousands of years to get one of the Heaven-level pills refined by the Pill Kings, so they cannot fail!"
The time is short, but if one has a sharp insight and makes the fast time seem slow, he won't have to suffer the failure of the exercise due to lack of time.
It's like when the enemy punches quickly, but because your eyesight and awareness are strong enough, you can slow down the enemy's punch and then dodge or block it.
Shen Xiang now understood that when refining higher-level pills, it was not enough to rely solely on repeated failures to succeed, but it also required improvements in other aspects.
After resting, Shen Xiang continued to refine the Pure Yuan Golden Pill. This time, he wanted to focus on the moment when the leaves underwent changes. He had to slow down that moment very slowly so that he could know every leaf well and then perform the refining correctly.
To achieve this, Shen Xiang's observation skills must become faster and more accurate!
After more than ten times, Shen Xiang has made a breakthrough and can "slow down" time a little, but the mental consumption is still very high. Now he knows why the higher the level of refining pills, the higher the strength required from people.
Even though he was practicing Shinto and had a strong spiritual awareness, he was still overwhelmed by the continuous attacks.
"I must cross that threshold this time!" Shen Xiang rested for a whole day to keep himself in peak condition. The last time he failed, he just lacked a leaf to master.
There are still some pure Yuan fruits and leaves, enough for him to fail a few times. If he still fails, he can only wait a few more days and grow more before refining them.
After a moment, Shen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally overcome the obstacle that blocked his path to success. He could now grasp the dozens of leaves with different characteristics and begin to practice correctly.
Difficulties are overcome bit by bit, and success is accumulated through continuous failures. Although he has not succeeded yet, Shen Xiang feels very excited because he has overcome a hurdle.
Soon, it was time to condense the pill. Now was also the most difficult time to practice. I had to practice continuously, adjust myself, practice again, and adjust again...
The alternation is very intensive and continues until the pill is successfully condensed!
If he hadn't used his magic power to assist in condensing the pill, his current spiritual awareness would definitely be insufficient, because he had consumed a lot of it in refining it.
Although using magic power could reduce the burden on his spiritual consciousness, he was still sweating profusely, his whole body was wet, and his head was splitting. Fortunately, he had already gotten used to it when he was refining other pills before, otherwise he would have gone crazy.
Shen Xiang's forehead was full of blue veins, the muscles on his face twitched, and the Flame Dragon Furnace was shaking wildly. Now was the critical moment to condense the pill!
After a moment, a blush appeared on Shen Xiang's pale face, and his tense body relaxed. The pill stopped shaking. Although he failed nearly twenty times, it only took him a few days to successfully refine the Pure Yuan Golden Pill. If he hadn't practiced the refining method, he didn't know how many times he would have failed!
"Finally it worked!" He opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and saw four golden pills emerging from it. This was the Pure Yuan Golden Pill!
Although there are only four pills, the effect is stronger than forty Five Elements True Essence Pills!
"There is one more pill than what is recorded in the book. I think after I become familiar with it, I should be able to produce five pills in one furnace." Shen Xiang gave two Pure Yuan Golden Pills to Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou, and one to Long Xueyi.
"Superior quality! When many alchemists are learning to refine new pills, they will reduce the amount and quality of pills to the minimum to ensure success. Once they are familiar with it, they will start to improve the quality and then increase the amount of pills." Su Meiyao said.
However, Shen Xiang decided from the beginning to refine pills of superior quality and produce a large number of pills, which went against the trend of many other alchemists. Therefore, he produced a large number of pills of high quality.
"It seems that I need to refine more of this kind of pill. After my cultivation is stabilized, I can eat it. Others can also improve quickly by eating it!" Shen Xiang began to plan.
If it were in the past, he might have to plant them, but now he only needs to chop up the Chunyuan Leaves and Chunyuan Fruits, and then water them with the Divine Liquid of Creation, and soon he will have a large number.
He then began to condense and create the divine liquid, which was the name he gave to this magical thing!
"If I can get more, I can sell it to the young brat and make a fortune from him." Shen Xiang laughed. He now has assets worth more than one billion crystal stones, but it is still insignificant in the eyes of those giant sect leaders.
