Chapter 32: A Proper Alchemist!
A day later, Chu Xuan was deep in spell cultivation when he suddenly smelled an intoxicating fragrance. This aroma could nearly bewitch all living beings on earth, not through physical effect but by enchanting the soul itself.
Chu Xuan's face brightened with delight, and he quickly used his Spiritual Qi to block his nose and mouth, turning his gaze towards the Wolf King. As expected, the previously budding Life Soul Flower had now burst into full bloom!
The Wolf King, who had been barely clinging to life for over four months, died at that moment. Its soul and vitality were completely usurped by the plant growing from its body.
The Life Soul Flower was unremarkable in appearance. It lacked large petals and looked no different from many common wildflowers. Were it not for its soul-entrancing fragrance, it would likely be indistinguishable from any wildflower.
"One, two, three... six petals!" Chu Xuan counted carefully three times, astonished. A Life Soul Flower usually grew at least two petals, but it was rare to see more than four. Even during the zenith of the Infinite Sect, when they cultivated these flowers in large numbers, they usually had around four petals. His luck was extraordinary to have cultivated a six-petaled Life Soul Flower!
"It's likely related to the virtue accumulated through my actions," Chu Xuan mused. Indeed, having virtue was beneficial. Such fortuitous occurrences could be influenced by the intangible virtue one possessed.
Chu Xuan carefully took out a small jade scissors, meticulously snipping the Life Soul Flower at the stem and storing it in a jade box. With this, a great weight was lifted from his heart.
The Life Soul Flower is a Foundation Establishment stage of spiritual medicine. This single flower, with its six petals, could be processed into the elixir for three Foundation Establishment Blood Pills. For many Qi Refining stage solitary cultivators of mediocre talent, this flower represented a stepping stone to the Foundation Establishment stage—an opportunity no one would want to miss.
Even during the peak times of the Infinite Sect, when Life Soul Flowers were cultivated in large quantities, their price remained exorbitantly high. If placed in the current market of Peace Market, this Life Soul Flower could likely fetch tens of thousands of small spiritual stones!
Having secured the most important ingredient, Chu Xuan quickly began processing the auxiliary materials. Some spiritual medicines needed to be dried to remove all moisture. Others had to be crushed into powder to maximize their effect. For some, the stems and outer shells were unusable, and only the extracted juices could be utilized.
Chu Xuan had these steps memorized by heart. In less than an hour, he had all the auxiliary materials prepared.
Finally, with solemnity, he took a pill furnace out from his storage bag.
This furnace is called the Hundred Herbs Furnace, which he had purchased from another market town. The Hundred Herbs Furnace is merely a mid-grade magic tool.
Typically, mid-grade magic tools are not very expensive, costing around two hundred small spiritual stones. However, the crafting of a pill furnace differs entirely from that of ordinary magic tools, thus demanding a higher price. This Hundred Herbs Furnace had cost him nearly four hundred small spiritual stones.
Following this, Chu Xuan continuously tested several types of Qi Refining stage pills.
Two days later, Chu Xuan had achieved a 90% success rate in the pill concoction. This was a staggeringly high figure. Many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators might not achieve this. But Chu Xuan, through his relentless effort and that slight, almost negligible accrual of merit, had done it!
Without a moment's rest, he rubbed his hands together, eager to leverage the momentum from concocting Qi Refining stage pills to succeed in producing the Foundation Establishment Blood Pill in one fell swoop!
"Foundation Establishment Blood Pill! Begin concoction!"
Chu Xuan maintained his composure. Because the materials for the Foundation Establishment Blood Pill were limited to three portions. If he failed three times, he would have to resort to using the Foundation Establishment Pill from Ouyang Hao for his Foundation Establishment, which carried a much lower chance of success.
The first furnace.
During the mid-phase of the concoction, the flames began to die down, and Chu Xuan added more spiritual wood; however, the flames suddenly flared up.
The liquid within the pill furnace was burned off in a very short time, leaving behind a sticky, black mess at the bottom of the furnace.
"Why can't this Hundred Herbs Furnace have a non-stick feature?" Chu Xuan muttered under his breath. But he wasn't disheartened. After cleaning the Furnace, he began the second batch of the Foundation Establishment Blood Pill.
This time, everything went smoothly, avoiding all issues, and he proceeded directly to the final step.
Hum! The pill was formed!
A rich, fragrant aroma permeated the air of the rooftop.
Chu Xuan took a deep breath, and immediately felt refreshed and invigorated, as if the speed of his blood flow had accelerated in that instant!
"Did it really succeed on the second batch?"
Chu Xuan was astonished. Was he really that skilled in concocting Foundation Establishment stage pills? It truly was thanks to his unyielding efforts!Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
