Also purchased along with the Pill Furnace were thousands of kilograms of Spirit Wood. Since the Magical Pill Refining Furnace is unable to ignite on its own, it relies on the burning of Spirit Wood to provide sufficient energy for alchemy.
This alchemy wood is specially grown and relatively cheap. Dozens of Spirit Stones can buy thousands of kilograms, providing a stable supply of energy to the Pill Furnace.
Of course, if he wasn’t too bothered, he could also chop wood at Jin Qiao Peak, but whether the flame that arises from burning the chopped wood would be of adequate quality is uncertain.
On the day he received the Pill Furnace, he began his first alchemy experiment. To avoid the impact of Blasting the Furnace, he deliberately chose a vacant yard outside for the location.
After securing the Pill Furnace, Lin Yi took out the materials for the Gathering Qi Pills from his Storage Bag, placing them by his side in accordance with their sequential order. During the alchemy process, the order of the ingredients is absolutely crucial; otherwise, failure is the only outcome.
As he was only learning alchemy at the moment, he performed the refining with the minimum amount of materials. If everything went smoothly, this furnace could produce a bottle of twenty Gathering Qi Pills.
Lin Yi placed the wood into the lower compartment of the Pill Furnace and then released the Flame Flying Technique. Under his control, a flame flew into the furnace cavity and immediately the fire blazed fiercely.
“Zhi Ling, step away from me,” he said to Zhi Ling nearby before concentrating and placing the main ingredient for the Gathering Qi Pills – Ling Ying Grass in order.
As the Ling Ying Grass was thrown in one by one, he covered the furnace mouth and began to manipulate the Pill Furnace using his spiritual power, controlling the flames and observing the refining process of the medicinal properties within using the Spirit Wood Technique.
Under his Great Perfect Level Spirit Wood Technique, he could see everything happening inside the Pill Furnace. After the medicinal properties were refined, he added the other ingredients in order.
Then, he multitasked by controlling the flames of the Pill Furnace while utilizing the Object Manipulation Spell in a certain way to combine the Spirit Grass inside.
The Object Manipulation Spell is considered one of the most crucial spells in the Cultivation World. Whether it is alchemy or Artifact Refining, it requires the use of Object Manipulation Spell to control the internal materials and combine them into a pill according to specific rules.contemporary romance
However, after a short while, there was a muffled noise like a firecracker explosion from inside the Pill Furnace. Under the Spirit Wood Technique, all the materials inside had turned into a blackened mass, with some Spirit Grass not even dissolved into medicinal liquid.
Lin Yi used the Object Manipulation Spell to open the furnace lid, and was immediately greeted by a puff of smoke. He smiled helplessly. Failure had come too swiftly.
After cleaning the Pill Furnace, he opened the title panel to see that [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] had indeed provided an opportunity for
Enlightenment. This title is truly a treasure on the path of Immortal Way.
He chose to use this opportunity. After all, he had just started, with no chance of success in alchemy in the short term. He needed gradual improvement.
Furthermore, after his progress, a setback would result in a different kind of Enlightenment.
After using the Enlightenment opportunity, some faint insights about alchemy emerged, helping him to slightly understand his shortcomings. Nonetheless, his subsequent attempts at alchemy still ended in failure.
At the beginning when he was learning talisman creation, he wasted twenty to thirty Talisman templates before finally getting hold of it, even more so the challenging alchemy.
In the following two to three months, Lin Yi took care of the medicinal field, practiced his Cultivation Method and Spells, and took some time each day to practice making pills. Even with opportunities of enlightenment, he still failed repeatedly.
This made him realize the difficulty of alchemy even more profoundly. No wonder Brother Wu Tian Zhang, who studied in the Pill Hall for several years, only managed to successfully refine a pill.
Compared to making talismans, alchemy requires a thorough understanding of each Spirit Grass’s medicinal properties, control of the heat, proficiency in alchemy techniques, and many other factors.
The alchemy technique he currently used came with the recipe when he purchased the Gathering Qi Pills in Tian Yun Xian City. This is a common technique for refining basic pills.
After practicing for two months, Lin Yi, following the limit of the title [Gain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], Enlightenment once every three days.
Gradually, he gained a deeper understanding of the skills of alchemy.
However, he did not treat alchemy as his main task, only refining a few furnaces a day, hence, the insight gained was less.
Although he was still failing, the steps of failure were getting closer and closer to success. At first, the Spirit Grass was not even refined into medicinal juice, but now, there was already a rudiment of the pill.
In learning alchemy skills, Lin Yi did not intend to use the Little Luck state to force the alchemy success by luck, which was meaningless. What he needed was to fully learn alchemy on his own, not relying on luck.
If he relied on luck to force entry from the start, he was afraid that he would not be able to separate from it when he refines the pill later on.
Finally, after more than five months, with the help of Enlightenment, Lin Yi’s progress in learning alchemy had almost reached success, nearing completion.
He began to temporarily stop the practice of Cultivation Techniques and Spells, and focused on refining pills for three days, turning each failure into an opportunity for Enlightenment, and then stacking them up for use.
Suddenly, many insights about alchemy emerged in his mind, and some doubts about failure suddenly became clear.
After digesting these insights, Lin Yi took out the materials for the Gathering
Qi Pills. The more than one thousand Spirit Stones materials that Wu Tian Zhang had previously exchanged had long been used up, so he bought some more. Alchemy really ruined his life, several thousand Spirit Stones materials, and he still hasn’t even touched the door of making alchemy.
Even under the effect of his title, others may not reach his step for several years, really causing great agony. Without great perseverance, one cannot persist at all.
Lin Yi placed the kindling in the alchemy furnace, and said to the red bird next to him, “Fire Feather, spray some flames inside there.”
Ever since he had taken care of Fire Feather previously, whenever Fire Fierce
Senior Uncle went out or practiced closed-door cultivation, he would let Fire Feather come to him. At the same time, the spiritual pets of several other Foundation Building Uncles would be placed in his care.
At the most, there were four or five Spirit Beasts in his Jin Qiao Peak Cave
Mansion. This made Zhi Ling no longer lonely, running and training every day leading a group of Spirit Beasts, looking like an elder sister.
Fire Feather obediently sprayed a flame into the alchemy furnace, causing the Spirit Wood inside to start burning.
Next, he skillfully put each kind of material into the alchemy furnace, while controlling the fire and using the Object Manipulation Spell. Cautiously, he did not dare to make a mistake. His spirit was fully concentrated and could not be distracted.
This was the rigor of an alchemist. Now refining Gathering Qi Pills is fine, if you are careless, you will lose a few Spirit Stones at most. But if you later shift to a higher-grade pill, then it would cost hundreds or even thousands of Spirit Stones for one furnace.
After all the steps of alchemy, under his Spirit Wood Technique, the medicinal fluid inside actually condensed into a few pills, and the rest of the fluid still turned into a burnt paste.
Lin Yi, not getting ahead of himself, continued to use the alchemy technique, to make these few pills completely form. Then he opened the lid of the furnace, and these few fragrant pills flew out instantly.
He quickly caught these pills with his hands, looking at their round shape, he couldn’t help showing a look of surprise on his face. Five months later, he finally succeeded in alchemy. Although it was only the lower grade in the Gathering Qi Pills, it represented that he had already entered the door.
As long as the alchemy skills are shown on the panel and the alchemy title is obtained, the speed of his alchemy skills will increase faster and faster, and his alchemy success rate will become higher and higher.
At this time, a pop-up window appeared in front of him, “Alchemy Experience
Before Lin Yi had time to open the title panel, a pop-up window appeared right after it, “The host tirelessly practices alchemy, fights after failures, is indomitable, and has an astonishing perseverance. The title [Alchemy Novice] is obtained..”
