Chapter 576 Refining the Golden Pill

Under normal circumstances, it takes two days to successfully refine a furnace of golden elixir.

And just the first step, refining all the medicinal power of the spiritual medicine, takes at least one and a half days.

This is destined to be an extremely long and difficult process, and it has extremely strict requirements on the cultivator's spiritual consciousness and mana reserves. Even with the help of the earth fire, it can only save some mana, and the difficulty is still extremely high.

Fortunately, this is not a problem for Fang Ping now.

He just sat in front of the Yuan Ding with concentration, constantly using his spiritual consciousness to explore the changes in the fire and medicinal power in the Yuan Ding, and from time to time he cast a series of spells to assist the fusion of medicinal power, and also steadily maintained the existence of the scorching sun true fire.

Thanks to the level of the second-level alchemist, although there were several minor mistakes and flaws in the first day and a half of refining, which more or less affected the medicinal power, there were no fatal problems that might lead to the failure of refining.

Until the burning of the true fire, the red essence and the five-element lotus finally completely merged into the six-yang spiritual water, and the refining of the golden elixir entered the second stage.

The medicinal power of the two main materials continued to react with other already fused medicinal liquids, making the originally milky white medicinal liquid gradually stained with a few colorful colors.

If the previous day and a half was just a test of the basic skills of the alchemist, then from this moment on, the real difficulty has just arrived!

Just a very slight mistake, the uniform and delicate balance between the five-color medicinal liquids was broken.

The next moment, the violent medicinal power clashed violently, causing a violent explosion.

Fortunately, the invisible restriction in the Yuan Ding easily suppressed the explosion, and there was no abnormal leakage.

As Fang Ping looked back, the grand breath of time emerged, and everything in the Yuan Ding suddenly began to flow back, and smoothly recovered to a few breaths ago.

Fang Ping did not stop and immediately made corrections to avoid the previous mistakes.

However, this time, he only persisted for half a cup of tea before he failed again.

"Sure enough, with my current attainments in alchemy, it is still a bit difficult to refine a spiritual pill of the level of Jindan..."

But Fang Ping was not frustrated at all.

As early as when he was refining the foundation-building pill, he had already had the same experience, and he had already prepared himself to go back hundreds or thousands of times to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

He just calmed down and adjusted his state slightly, then went back again and started a new round of attempts.

………

After dozens of failures and backtracking.

Fang Ping was much faster than expected and mastered the difficulty of the second link and the trick of refining.

However, the next third node, which is also the most critical node, is the most likely to fail.

That is, the Yin-Yang Fruit is used to reconcile the Yin and Yang of the medicinal power, so as to perfectly unify the various medicinal powers in the liquid medicine and achieve Jindan!

This matter seems to be just a piece of cake, but it is actually a great test of the level of the cultivator.

First of all, there is more than one right time, but the most right time is only a moment. Whether it is too early or too late, it will affect the medicinal power of the golden elixir and may even lead to failure.

Secondly, the method of putting in the Yin-Yang fruit must be exquisite in order to minimize the loss of medicinal power in the middle.

In this regard, Fang Ping has the invisible restriction of the Yuan Ding, so there is no need to worry.

Finally, after the Yin-Yang fruit is put in, it is necessary to actively use the magic formula to blend the liquid medicine to assist the Yin-Yang fruit to disperse and take effect.

And this point is a test of the alchemy inheritance that the cultivator has obtained.

A sophisticated blending magic formula can achieve twice the result with half the effort. If the cultivator does not have a sophisticated second-level alchemy inheritance, he can only use some basic techniques, which will inevitably affect the final success of the golden elixir!

Fortunately, Fang Ping is not worried about the array inheritance.

His second-level alchemy inheritance [Evergreen Alchemy Book] comes from the Firework Taoist, and the Firework Taoist was obtained from the cave of a golden elixir predecessor who had a great origin back then. Whether in terms of completeness or subtlety, it is no worse than other second-level alchemy inheritances.

It is more than enough to help him refine the Golden Elixir!

For Fang Ping, the only real difficulty is the first one, how to accurately grasp that moment.

"Right now!"

His spiritual sense was exploring the changes in the Yuan Ding, and Fang Ping's eyes suddenly flashed, and he used his magic power to wrap the Yin Yang Fruit and put it into the Yuan Ding.

However, although his reaction was fast enough, he obviously had not grasped the changes in the medicinal power in the Yuan Ding.

The timing he thought was a little short of the best time.

The refining of a spiritual pill like the Golden Elixir is so important that a slight difference can lead to a thousand miles of error. After only ten breaths of Yin Yang Fruit being put in, although there was no drastic change, Fang Ping already knew in his heart: his attempt had failed this time!

"It should have been put in a little too early..."

But how many breaths later is the best time, it still requires a lot of attempts and experiments to determine.

Other second-level alchemists, at this point, either rely on the secret experience of their predecessors or masters; or spend a lot of time repeatedly deducing, and then use the hard-earned refining opportunities to try and verify again and again.

Fang Ping doesn't need to do this at all. With the Yuan Ding, he has unlimited opportunities for trial and error.

Just keep going back and it's done!

"It's still a breath early."

"No, it's a little late this time."

"It seems that I barely found an opportunity this time, but it can only be considered average. Maybe I can suppress the heat in advance and actively create a suitable opportunity..."

After repeated attempts and failures, Fang Ping's refining experience quickly became richer, and new insights and ideas emerged from time to time.

After dozens of failures again.

Perhaps it was a flash of inspiration, or a blind cat met a dead mouse, Fang Ping was extremely lucky to seize an opportunity and put the Yin Yang Fruit into the Yuan Ding at the most precise time.

As the Yin and Yang continued to harmonize, the originally five-colored liquid medicine began to gradually mix and merge into gold.

The rich liquid medicine also became more and more viscous, showing signs of condensing into a pill.

Fang Ping carefully controlled the temperature of the true fire, so as not to fail at the last moment.

Finally, as the spiritual fire was extinguished, the invisible restriction in the Yuan Ding dissipated. The closed stone chamber was shining with golden light, and in the fragrant pill fragrance that came to his nose, Fang Ping quickly reached out and gently grabbed it!

The refining of the Jindan is different from the three or four pills in one furnace of the foundation-building pill. Under normal circumstances, only one pill can be refined.

Even if you are extremely lucky, you can only refine two golden pills at most.

For this reason, refining the golden pill does not require any sophisticated pill-dividing techniques, unless you want to show off your skills.

"Sure enough, with my current proficiency, I can only make one pill!"

Looking at the heavy, golden golden pill in his hand, Fang Ping's tired face showed some unconcealed joy. Although its appearance is very ordinary, and there are even some flaws on the surface, it is a holy medicine that can increase the success rate of the cultivator's pill formation by 20%!

If this pill is spread out, it may be enough to set off a small-scale cultivator war. Countless foundation-building cultivators will fight desperately, even if they die, they will not regret it.

Even the golden pill cultivators may not be able to resist the temptation to participate in the competition.

"Unfortunately, this quality is still far from enough!"

Fang Ping sighed lightly, smiled and traced the finished elixir back to its original state. He wants to start again from the beginning!
