Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Chapter 190: Chapter 189: The Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Pill is Completed!

The Elixir Pavilion of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect perched atop the rear mountain and occupied a vast expanse of land.

It was divided into the planting area, the Earth Fire Refining Area, and the Pavilion area.

The planting area was the largest, stretching endlessly with no end in sight. Yang Fu estimated it to cover over a million acres… much larger than the combined size of both the True Fire Sect and the Dan Fire Sect!

Yang Genshuo speculated that it was about the size of a larger county nowadays.

All kinds of spiritual medicines were cultivated there!

Many Outer Disciples were managing the Spirit Fields, a sight to behold.

The Elixir Pavilion disciples lived and studied within a towering pavilion, which also housed a thousand years of the pavilion’s heritage. With the authority granted by Du Yuyan’s token, Yang Fushuo could use a portion of these spiritual medicines.

After refining this Inner Sect Disciple token, its myriad uses were boundless. As long as one was within the Sect, they could send messages to others and use points to purchase items from the Sect, which would be delivered promptly.

Now that Yang Fushuo had Du Yuyan’s permissions, he could freely take any First Grade spiritual medicine from the Elixir Pavilion. As soon as an order was placed with the token, someone would deliver it to him.

“As expected of an Upper Sect, so convenient!”

Yang Fushuo and Du Yuyan usually operated in the external Earth Fire Refining Area. Due to Du Yuyan’s influence, they were the only two who used the pill furnaces in that section. However, Yang Fushuo spent most of his time preferring to make elixirs by hand.

The new Elixir Recipe given by the ancient ancestor required five medicinal herbs, and to prevent alchemical failure, Yang Fushuo directly ordered ten times the quantity.

He could attempt it ten times in one go.

After all, failure was common with a new elixir; a couple more attempts should do.

“However… I can easily concoct First Grade elixirs with a flick of my wrist.”

Yang Fushuo was confident.

Not knowing where Du Yuyan had gone to test her elixirs, Yang Fushuo was left in peace to focus entirely on his alchemy.

“According to this new recipe, the first step, like the traditional Nourishing Yuan Pill, is to put in the Earth Yellow Root, and then add the Fire Hemp Seeds after it’s completely refined…”

A First Grade elixir required five medicinal herbs, and it was Yang Fushuo’s first encounter with such a recipe.

“The ancient ancestor must have good reasons.”

“As soon as this last step is completed, it will be… Oh no! Fire Escape!”

Boom!

Toward the end, a loud explosion occurred, resulting in a complete failure.

Yang Fushuo, returning from afar, looked at the black powder scattered around and scratched his head.

“That shouldn’t have happened… Did I make a mistake in the process?”

Undeterred, he took another set of ingredients and began refining them with care.

The First Grade elixir didn’t take long to craft, and his Liquefied Natural Gas even sped up the growth and fusion of the herbs, making an elixir possible within two hours. @@novelbin@@

Boom!

It exploded again.

“Hey! I refuse to accept this!”

Yang Fushuo failed to produce an elixir in the nick of time; the properties of the five spiritual medicines were incompatible, resulting in a catastrophic collapse.

“I, Yang Fushuo, have never once failed to produce a First Grade elixir from a recipe!”

How could things that he once mastered with a single learning become impossible with just two additional herbs?

“My fate is in my own hands, not dictated by heaven!”

Twenty hours later… Accompanied by one final blast, Yang Fushuo stood still with a vacant gaze, too exhausted to employ Fire Escape, as he was bombarded into a charred figure by the medicine dregs.

“Another failure…”

After ten consecutive failures at alchemy, Yang Fushuo began to question himself.

“Where exactly is the problem?”

He sat cross-legged on the ground, cultivating to replenish his spiritual power while reflecting on the issue.

No matter how he thought about it, his alchemy technique seemed faultless, strictly adhering to the elixir recipe, and the control of the flame during the process was meticulous, definitely not damaging the properties of the herbs…

“Could it be that the recipe is wrong?”

After much deliberation, that was the only conclusion he could reach.

“But how could an elixir recipe from the ancient ancestor be wrong…”

Watching Yang Fushuo’s self-doubt amused Yang Genshuo.

Yang Fushuo spent two days and nights in nonstop alchemy; for him, it had only been eight minutes, with a scrolling message flashing every once in a while announcing [Yang Fushuo alchemy failure].

“It seems the recipe provided by the AI isn’t very effective…”

“However, this is within expectations. If the AI learned the art of alchemy so quickly, it would be invincible. Mistakes are allowed; just need to try a few more times.”

[Manifestation]

“Xiao Shuo, what do you think caused the failure of these ten attempts at alchemy?”

Feeling the presence of the ancient ancestor, Yang Fushuo was delighted.

“Ancestor, I always feel that the five spiritual medicines at the end don’t combine well, as if they conflict with each other, leading to the failure to produce an elixir…”

Yang Fushuo spoke his mind openly, never one for pretense.

“Okay, I understand. Wait a moment.”

Having learned the reason, Yang Genshuo continued his conversation with the AI.

“Question: I’ve attempted your [Solid Foundation Nourishing Yuan Pill] recipe, but after ten tries, all have failed. The cause seems to be an incompatibility of the medicines, preventing the elixir from forming. Can you modify the recipe and give me three more options that might be successful?”

“Answer: I’m very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve encountered in trying to refine the ‘Solid Foundation Nourishing Yuan Pill.’ Alchemy is a precise and complex art that requires constant adjustments and attempts. Considering the issues with the previous formula, I will reconsider the compatibility and proportions of the medicinal ingredients to provide you with three modified recipes, hoping they will aid you in successful refinement.”

“Modified Recipe 1: Earth Yellow Root, Goldthread, Green Lotus Seeds, Fire Hemp Seeds, Mica Leaf…”

“Modified Approach: Adjusted the ratio of herbal attributes, increased the proportion of Water and Wood elements to promote the flow of spiritual energy and vitality, while maintaining the stabilizing action of Earth and Fire elements to avoid medicinal conflict, allowing the herbs to support and complement each other and facilitating fusion.”

“Modified Recipe 2: Earth Yellow Root, Goldthread, Green Lotus Seeds, Red Flame Fruit, Mica Leaf…”
