Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds

One day later.

Chu Xuan was practicing a spell.

Suddenly, he caught a whiff of an intoxicating fragrance.

The aroma was so enchanting it could captivate all living beings in the world.

It didn't affect the body, but rather the soul.

Chu Xuan's face lit up with joy. He immediately used his spiritual power to block his nose and mouth and looked at the Wolf King.

Sure enough, the Soul Bloom, which had been in bud, had now suddenly blossomed!

The Wolf King, which had been lingering on for more than four months, finally died at this moment.@@novelbin@@

Its soul and vitality were completely taken by the spiritual plant on its body.

The color of the Soul Bloom was not eye-catching.

Nor did it have large petals.

It was no different from many ordinary wildflowers.

If it weren't for the fragrance that could intoxicate the soul, no one would be able to distinguish it from a wildflower.

"One, two, three... a full six petals!"

Chu Xuan counted carefully three times, astonished in his heart.

A Soul Bloom would at least grow two petals.

But more than four petals were rare.

Even at the peak of the Wuji Sect, when they could cultivate Soul Blooms in large quantities, they usually had around four petals.

His luck was so good that he had cultivated a six-petal Soul Bloom!

"It might be related to the merit on me."

Chu Xuan pondered.

Having merit is indeed beneficial.

In matters of luck, the merit that exists in the unseen can play a role.

Chu Xuan took out a small jade scissors and carefully cut the Soul Bloom at the stem, storing it in a jade box.

With this, a heavy stone in his heart finally settled.

The Soul Bloom, a Foundation Establishment stage spiritual medicine.

This Soul Bloom, with its six petals, was enough to make the elixir for three portions of Foundation Establishment Blood Pills.

For many Qi Refining stage loose cultivators with mediocre aptitude, this Soul Bloom was the stepping stone to advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage!

No one would want to miss it.

Even at the peak of the Wuji Sect, when they could cultivate Soul Blooms in large quantities, the price of Soul Blooms remained high.

If placed in today's Taiping Market, this Soul Bloom could probably sell for over ten thousand small spirit stones!

The most important main ingredient was obtained.

Chu Xuan quickly began processing the other auxiliary materials.

Some spiritual herbs needed to be dried to remove all moisture.

Some needed to be ground into powder to maximize their effect.

Some had outer shells and stems that couldn't be used as medicine, requiring the juice to be extracted for use.

These steps were already firmly remembered by Chu Xuan.

In less than an hour, he had processed all the auxiliary materials.

Finally, he solemnly took out an alchemical furnace from his storage bag.

This furnace, named the Herbal Refinery, was something he had purchased from another market.

The Herbal Refinery was only a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

In theory, mid-grade spiritual artifacts weren't expensive, costing around two hundred small spirit stones.

But the crafting method for alchemical furnaces was completely different from spiritual artifacts, so the price was higher.

This Herbal Refinery had cost him nearly four hundred small spirit stones.

"Time to start alchemy!"

Chu Xuan rubbed his fingers, igniting the spiritual wood to heat the Herbal Refinery.

For his first attempt at alchemy, he didn't directly try to make Foundation Establishment Blood Pills but chose a Qi Refining stage elixir to practice.

The Revitalization Pill.

Consuming this elixir could speed up wound healing.

It could be used in many situations.

By the Foundation Establishment stage, one could consume the more effective Great Revitalization Pill for healing.

However, many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators found the Great Revitalization Pill too expensive and still used the Revitalization Pill for healing.

Using the Revitalization Pill to practice was more than appropriate for Chu Xuan.

Once the Herbal Refinery was heated, he placed the three spiritual herbs needed for the Revitalization Pill into it.

Halfway through the alchemy process, the flame suddenly diminished, causing the elixir to solidify prematurely.

Despite Chu Xuan's efforts to salvage it, the elixir ultimately turned into something quite awkward.

This semi-finished product had weak medicinal power but plenty of pill toxins.

Chu Xuan didn't mind; after all, it was his first time practicing alchemy, and failure was inevitable.

He cleaned the Herbal Refinery and started alchemy again.

The second batch failed as well.

And so did the third and fourth batches.

Chu Xuan's speed in making the Revitalization Pill increased, and his technique became more proficient.

For other cultivators, one or two failures might lead to frustration and a reluctance to continue.

But Chu Xuan was mentally prepared for this.

He had prepared enough materials for forty batches of Revitalization Pills!

By the sixth batch.

Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.

The pill was complete!

Although the Revitalization Pill he made was a bit uneven and not very aesthetically pleasing, it was clearly successful.

A flash of inspiration struck Chu Xuan's mind.

He immediately seized the fleeting insight.

Eagerly, he resumed alchemy.

The seventh batch, the eighth batch, the ninth batch...

Three consecutive batches were a great success.

The Revitalization Pills produced were smooth and full, entirely crimson, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

They were almost indistinguishable from the Revitalization Pills within the Wuji Sect.

Perhaps even slightly better!

Chu Xuan was overjoyed.

The inspiration that had flashed in his mind was his insight into making the Revitalization Pill.

"Unexpectedly, after just six batches of Revitalization Pills, I have such profound insights."

"Now, I can be considered a proper alchemist, right?"

Chu Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

This was clearly another benefit of having merit.

He didn't pause and began trying a new elixir.

This time, he attempted the Lightness Pill.

Consuming this elixir would make one as light as a swallow, excellent for both pursuit and escape.

The speed of making the Lightness Pill was even faster than Chu Xuan had imagined.

He only failed one batch, and the second batch was a great success.

Next, Chu Xuan continued to try several other Qi Refining stage elixirs.

Two days later.

Chu Xuan could achieve a 90% success rate in alchemy.

This was an astonishing figure.

Many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators might not achieve this.

But Chu Xuan, through his hard work and a tiny bit of merit, managed to do it!

Without a moment's rest, Chu Xuan was eager to use his momentum from making Qi Refining stage elixirs to successfully create the Foundation Establishment Blood Pills!

"Foundation Establishment Blood Pills! Begin!"

Chu Xuan maintained a calm mind.

Because he only had three sets of materials for the Foundation Establishment Blood Pills.

If he failed three times, he would have to use Ouyang Hao's Foundation Establishment Pill to attempt Foundation Establishment.

Find the original at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

The success rate for that was too low.

The first batch.

Midway through the process, the flame began to diminish. Chu Xuan added more spiritual wood, but the flame suddenly grew too large.

The elixir was burned dry in a very short time, turning into a blackened mass stuck to the bottom of the furnace.

"Why doesn't this Herbal Refinery have a non-stick function?"

Chu Xuan muttered to himself.

But he wasn't discouraged. After cleaning the Herbal Refinery, he started the second batch of Foundation Establishment Blood Pills.

This time, everything went smoothly, avoiding all issues, and he reached the final step.

Buzz!

The pill was complete!

A rich fragrance filled the rooftop.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath, feeling instantly refreshed, as if the flow of blood throughout his body had accelerated at that moment!

"It's done! The second batch succeeded?"

Chu Xuan was quite surprised.

Was he really this good at making Foundation Establishment stage elixirs?

It truly was thanks to his persistent effort!
