Chapter 836 - 834: Refining the Heaven Repairing Pill

Chapter 836: Chapter 834: Refining the Heaven Repairing Pill

The Flourishing Lotus Flame fell beneath the Red Sun Cauldron, with the burning holy spirit flame reigniting the nine suns on the cauldron.

"Add the ingredients!"

Lin Bai said indifferently.

Gu Yueqing opened the Red Sun Cauldron with solemn care and placed the spiritual medicines inside.

Lin Bai spoke, "To refine the Heaven Repairing Pill, adding ingredients is divided into five steps!"

"The first step, add the Dragon and Tiger Bone and Vermilion Bird Marrow, along with the other one hundred and twenty-three types of spiritual herbs, to extract their blood and qi."

"The second step, add Holy Spirit Grass, Thousand-Year Unbreakable Stone, Barbaric Ancient Tree Root, and the other seven hundred and twelve types of spiritual herbs, to extract their life force."

"The third step, add Flood Dragon Blood and three hundred and fifty-six other types of spiritual herbs, to extract their healing power."

"The fourth step, control the Spirit Fire, and concentrate the three types of powers together!"

"The fifth step, condense into pills!"

Lin Bai began instructing Gu Yueqing on the side as she started to add the spiritual medicines.

Gu Yueqing carefully listened to Lin Bai while adding the ingredients.

The first step involved adding Dragon and Tiger Bone and Vermilion Bird Marrow into the Red Sun Cauldron; the refinement took nearly an hour to complete.

Lin Bai instructed, "Add Holy Spirit Grass, Thousand-Year Unbreakable Stone, Barbaric Ancient Tree Root, and the other seven hundred and twelve types of spiritual herbs."

"Okay!"

Gu Yueqing responded and began to add the remaining spiritual herbs.

Lin Bai continued, "Control the flame; with your spiritual power, divide the contents of the Red Sun Cauldron in two, preventing the Dragon and Tiger Bone and Vermilion Bird Marrow from merging with the Holy Spirit Grass, Thousand-Year Unbreakable Stone, Barbaric Ancient Tree Root, and the other seven hundred and twelve types of spiritual herbs!"

"What!"

Gu Yueqing exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening.

Lin Bai urged, "Quick! Separate them!"

"Once their spirituality merges, their medicinal properties will clash, and we will no longer be able to refine the Heaven Repairing Pill!"

Gu Yueqing protested, "But I can’t do that!"

Lin Bai said, "Gu Yueqing, listen, draw your spiritual power from your dantian, sending one stream to your left hand and another to your right hand; control the left with the left and the right with the right!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yueqing silently followed Lin Bai’s instructions.

Then, with her spiritual power infused into the Red Sun Cauldron, she divided the two types of spiritual medicines and began refining them separately.

Gu Yueqing’s face lit up with surprise; she had never imagined that alchemy could be performed in such a way.

In the past, when she refined elixirs, she would throw all the spiritual herbs into the Red Sun Cauldron at once, then start the refining process until the pill was formed.

But today, Lin Bai’s words were like opening the doors to a new world for Gu Yueqing.

Alchemy could indeed be done in this manner.

By dividing the elixir furnace in two and refining separately, only at the final stage of formation, merging the medicinal properties together, can one create a perfect elixir pill.

This was akin to mixing blue and red ink, which upon combining would change color.

It was the same with spiritual herbs.

If the spiritual herbs are added in the wrong order or in too great a quantity, it can easily turn an elixir that cures all ailments into a Poisonous Pill that can instantly kill a warrior!

Therefore, for an alchemist, it is the addition of the correct spiritual herbs and the proper method of refining that are the most critical aspects to learn.

"Reduce the flame!"

Lin Bai reminded her.

Gu Yueqing immediately weakened the flame of the Flourishing Lotus Flame.

Half an hour later.

Lin Bai said, "Add the Flood Dragon Blood! Simultaneously, divide the inside of the Elixir Furnace into three and refine them separately!"

Gu Yueqing was startled again and asked, "How should this be done? Dividing it into two is already my limit."

Gu Yueqing did not know that the technique of dividing the inside of the Elixir Furnace into two was something only a King-level Alchemist could master.

Alchemists above the King-level were judged on their capacity to divide the inside of the Elixir Furnace into several parts.

Once, a King-level Alchemist divided the inside of the Elixir Furnace into eighteen parts and simultaneously refined eighteen types of Spiritual Medicines with conflicting medicinal powers. Everyone thought he would fail, but he succeeded in concocting them.

This alchemist led a life full of legend and almost became an Emperor-level Alchemist.

Lin Bai said, "Gu Yueqing, you should know that everything in this world originally has no power at all, all power comes from our hearts!"

"Everyone knows that knives, spears, swords, and halberds can kill."

"But they are wrong, knives, spears, swords, and halberds do not kill; what kills is a person’s heart!"

"Use your heart to control the Spiritual Power, control your Elixir Furnace, control your flame!"

Lin Bai said faintly.

Lin Bai knew that now was the most crucial time for concocting the Heaven Repairing Pill.

Whether Gu Yueqing could divide the Red Sun Cauldron into three parts or not would be the key factor determining the success or failure of the Heaven Repairing Pill.

"I’ll try," she said.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Gu Yueqing nodded seriously.

Immediately, Gu Yueqing began to mobilize her Spiritual Power, dividing it into three and injecting it into the Red Sun Cauldron.

Gradually, a third region was distinguished inside the Red Sun Cauldron, beginning the refinement of the Flood Dragon Blood.

Seeing this scene, Lin Bai revealed a relieved smile on his face, thinking in amazement, "Gu Yueqing truly lives up to her title as the Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard. Her attainment in the art of alchemy is so profound, with exceptional talent, grasping it instantly."

"If I had asked Lu Qingyu to concoct the Heaven Repairing Pill, I’m afraid he would have needed at least three to four days to divide the Elixir Furnace into two, but that is already his limit, and he absolutely wouldn’t be able to divide it into three."

"Yet Gu Yueqing managed to divide the Elixir Furnace into three parts instantly after my words fell!"

"With proper mentoring, it would be difficult for this woman not to become a King-level Alchemist one day!"

Lin Bai smiled with satisfaction.

Next, the three types of Spiritual Medicines began to be refined inside the Red Sun Cauldron.

Gu Yueqing was also immensely taxed, in just the brief span of half an hour, the Spiritual Power and physical energy in her body were already depleted to the brink; she was sweating profusely, her face pale, looking like a gravely ill patient.

Lin Bai comforted her, "Steady now, next is the fusion of the three medicinal powers. Remember, at this time the Spirit Fire must be controlled properly. If the Spirit Fire gets even slightly too strong, any of the three medicinal powers could be destroyed by the flames, causing the Heaven Repairing Pill to fail!"

"This is the most critical step!"

Lin Bai reminded her.

"I understand!"

Gu Yueqing nodded and began to carefully control the Spirit Fire, merging the three medicinal powers inside the Red Sun Cauldron.

Lin Bai reminded her, "After the fusion, continue to refine until the pill is formed!"

Gu Yueqing nodded.

The fusion took a long time, requiring an alchemist to be extremely attentive. Not only did they need to control the Spirit Fire well, but they also had to pay extra attention to the components of the Spiritual Medicines inside the Elixir Furnace.

Just as Lin Bai said, if any aspect of the three medicinal powers was even slightly excessive, this batch of Elixir Pills would not be able to be concocted.

Lin Bai stood behind Gu Yueqing, his face solemn, waiting with bated breath.

This was now the most critical moment in the concoction of the Heaven Repairing Pill, and Lin Bai was particularly anxious!
