Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 290: Chapter 193: Success of the Foundation Establishment Pill_3

Although he had reviewed it many times, each time he delved into it, he felt his understanding of the Alchemy Dao deepened.

“I don’t know if it’s an illusion or if there really is progress!”

After muttering to himself, Lin Tianming then put all of the pill formulas and insights into his storage bag.

Having done that, he began the preparations for alchemy, taking out a complete set of Foundation Establishment Pill Spiritual Materials and placing them on the stone platform beside him, sorted into different categories.

Next, he checked the Earth Fire and the Pill Furnace. After making sure all the details were perfect, he began to adjust his state.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but he eventually reached his peak condition.

All was ready except for the right opportunity!

Lin Tianming opened his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and struck the Earth Fire’s vent with a Law Decree.

As the Earth Fire erupted, the temperature in the Pill Refining Room began to slowly rise. He placed the Three Star Furnace above the Earth Fire, starting the various preparations for alchemy.

When the temperature inside the Three Star Furnace reached a critical point, he immediately took out a piece of Spiritual Medicine Material and tossed it into the furnace to begin the basic decomposition process.

The procedure was the same as for other elixirs; he had already successfully refined numerous Second Order Pills, so decomposing these auxiliary medicines wasn’t difficult.

Soon, after over an hour of intense decomposition, each Spiritual Medicine Material and Spirit Fruit was processed.

At the bottom of the Three Star Furnace, a mass of multicolored Elixir Essence lay there.

Lin Tianming wiped the sweat from his forehead and gazed at the liquid essence of the Spiritual Medicine, showing a satisfied expression.

With the auxiliary medicines decomposed, the main medicine, White Jade Grass, was left to be processed.

He looked at the Spirit Grass with a jade-like sheen and took a deep breath. This White Jade Grass had cost him 11,000 Spirit Stones to purchase from Long Hai; its value was certainly not low.

After a brief distraction, he quickly regained his calm and resolutely threw the White Jade Grass into the Three Star Furnace.

At that moment, he opened his Eye of Five Colors to observe the White Jade Grass inside the Three Star Furnace, focusing his Divine Sense to start the decomposition.

Half a day passed.

Inside the Three Star Furnace, the Elixir Essence had grown larger in volume and changed dramatically in color, becoming a mix of blue and white that looked akin to a piece of Supreme Quality jade.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming was overjoyed. With all the Spiritual Medicine Materials decomposed, the next crucial step was the Solidifying Pill.

He took a deep breath and formed a Single-handed Seal, then struck the Earth Fire’s vent with another Law Decree.

A soft sound followed, and the Earth Fire burst forth, raising the temperature in the Three Star Furnace by another notch.

Lin Tianming’s expression became serious, attentively sensing every change inside the Three Star Furnace.

When the temperature seemed right, he slapped the Three Star Furnace with his palm, and a burst of Spiritual Power shot out from his hand into the furnace and disappeared without a trace.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”

A few noises sounded out, marking the completion of Infusion of Spirit. While controlling the Earth Fire’s temperature, he murmured to himself.

“Solidify the pill!”

In an instant, a distinct sound echoed, followed by a few crisp crackles from within the Pill Furnace.

The noise suggested that the pills might have shattered.

Lin Tianming’s face changed, showing an expression of distress. As the noise subsided, he promptly lifted the lid off the furnace to look inside.

He saw a pile of residue mixed with some broken pieces of a pill, emitting an unpleasant odor.

He picked up a fragment of the failed elixir, holding it carefully in his hand to ponder over.

“This Foundation Establishment Pill is indeed difficult; failure to control the temperature and timing of the infusion of spirit led to the failure of the alchemy process!”

Lin Tianming talked to himself, thereafter contemplating the reasons for failure in his mind and summarizing the issues to watch out for next time.

The entire process of this batch of pills was smooth; the decomposition and purification were done meticulously—how could it have failed?

Lin Tianming wore a puzzled expression as he recalled the entire procedure and pondered over the reasons for the failure.

“It seems that during the pill solidification, the timing of the spirit infusion and the Earth Fire didn’t match, leading to the failure of this batch!”

Lin Tianming murmured to himself, quickly pinpointing the problem.

“Let’s try another furnace and hope for success!”

Though the first batch had failed, he was not discouraged at all. After all, it was his first attempt at producing this pill, and failure was nothing unusual.

Moreover, although the Foundation Establishment Pill was classified as a Second Order Inferior Grade Pill, the difficulty of its refinement could rival many Second Order Medium Quality pills.

After clearing out the wasted residue, he took out another set of Spiritual Medicine Materials and placed them on the stone platform.

Once that was done, he began to recuperate until his condition peaked before continuing to refine.

“Materials are hard to come by; they must be refined successfully soon so as not to waste them. This complete set of materials cost more than 10,000 Spirit Stones!” he muttered to himself, thinking in his heart.

Half a day later, Lin Tianming recovered, and once again, he plunged into the intensive alchemy process.

With the lesson learned from the first failure, he was extra careful with the second furnace, striving to perfect every step.

The entire process went smoothly, as familiar as the path beneath one’s feet, with each step of decomposition, purification, and the control of infusion and Earth Fire right on point.

His efforts bore fruit; his cultivation made a breakthrough, and aided by the Eye of Five Colors, he succeeded in solidifying the pills in the second furnace.

In the Pill Refining Room at that moment, a unique fragrance wafted from the Pill Furnace.

Not caring about his sweaty forehead and weary expression, he quickly lifted off the furnace lid.

He saw three pills with a blue and white hue suspended inside the furnace, immediately taking one out and comparing it with the Pill Formula, examining it in great detail.

“After careful verification, this is undoubtedly a finished product. I just don’t know how effective it is yet!”

Lin Tianming thought excitedly, his face expressing immense joy.@@novelbin@@

The process of refining two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills—failing the first and succeeding the second—could be considered a smooth start.

Though he usually managed to produce about five pills of Second Order Inferior Grade elixirs, and this batch only yielded three, considering the difficulty of refining Foundation Establishment Pills, Lin Tianming was still extremely satisfied.

He placed the three Foundation Establishment Pills into a prepared Jade Bottle, then began to recuperate, waiting for his condition to recover before starting to forge ahead and refine a few more batches.
