The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 266: Chapter 160: High-Order Alchemy Skill_l

Translator: 549690339

After getting well-prepared, Lin Yi took out some Spirit Stones and placed them into the groove below the Pill Refining Spiritual Furnace. He activated the Pill Fire Formation with Spiritual Power. Immediately, the flames rose from below.

Once the Alchemy Furnace had finished preheating, he activated the Pill Refining Array Method using his spiritual power then began to put various materials for Gathering Yuan Pill inside.

If he could elevate his alchemy skills to a high level using the Gathering Yuan Pill, that would be ideal.

The cost of a single portion of Golden Elixir ingredients was ten times more than that of Gathering Yuan Pill, and yet, a portion of the former could produce a maximum of only three pills, while a portion of the latter could produce ten.

However, the price of a lower-grade Golden Condensation Pill was high reaching eight thousand Spirit Stones, while the price of a lower-grade Gathering Yuan Pill was only one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.

Presumably, after taking a lower-grade pill, even in the initial stage of the Golden Core, one might not be able to enhance their cultivation levels at all. Perhaps ten pills in a bottle could have a potential effect.

Prior to this, Lin Yi had never tried refining a high-order pill. This was his first attempt after his intermediate alchemy skills had reached a Great Perfection.

The methods of refining high-level pills were a bit different from those for intermediate pills. He had also commissioned Wu Tian Zhang to buy a book, saying that he wanted to study and research.

The techniques owned by the Pill Hall were the most ordinary alchemy techniques. They were very mediocre, only ensuring successful pill formation, but unable to improve the success rate and quality of the pills.

Even so, possessing these common high-level alchemy techniques couldn’t be taken lightly given the advantage of having the backing of a sect.

Of course, in addition to the alchemy techniques, the most important thing was the pill recipe. A complete pill recipe would contain the proportions of each ingredient, including the order they should be added to the alchemy furnace, and the important points to note during the refining process. If the pill recipe only contained the names of various ingredients without specific proportions, that would be equivalent to a useless recipe. A single type of pill had at least over ten ingredients. Without specific proportions, it would simply be impossible to produce through mere experimentation.

Before entering the Secret Realm, Lin Yi’s primary alchemy skills had just reached the Great Achievement Level. Therefore, it was relatively easy for him to obtain primary pill recipes.

After coming out from the Secret Realm and becoming a direct disciple, he easily obtained the recipe for intermediate pills, thanks to Sister Qi from the Pill Hall.

The recipes for high-level Gathering Yuan Pills and Golden Elixir Pills that he currently had were also obtained from the Pill Hall. Similarly, he received help from senior brother Wu Tian Zhang, which didn’t attract much attention from others.

If he was successful in the Dan God’s test and obtained the alchemy inheritance, he wouldn’t need to rely on other sources to obtain pill recipes in the future.

Refining a high-level pill was much more difficult than refining an intermediate-level pill, and the difficulty increased even further when refining a high-level pill at the Foundation Building Realm.

This difficulty was almost on par with breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Realm. It might seem like it was just a single realm apart, but the difference in strength and understanding of cultivation was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

Foundation Building could only be referred to as major cultivation, while for the Golden Core, in addition to being referred to as a ‘real person,’ it was also known as Capability.

If it was so easy to break through, high-order alchemists wouldn’t be as rare as they are now.

A Foundation Building Cultivator, wanting to become a high-order alchemist, would need to possess exceptional talent; like his Second Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu, who turned to alchemy Dao decades ago but now was just a Pill Master at the peak of intermediate level.

Only after achieving the Golden Core, gaining a deeper understanding of all things in the universe, it would be much easier to refine high-level pills.

The test of the Dan God’s inheritance only lasts for eight years. Lin Yi naturally would not wait for a breakthrough to the Golden Core before refining. There simply wasn’t enough time. Even if he was exploiting the system every day, by the time he reached the late stage of Foundation Building, there would be basically nothing to exploit. He would still have to rely on his own cultivation.

Moreover, if he exploited too much, making all the Foundation Building Cultivators feel threatened and stop offering courses, it would be somewhat counterproductive.

Using high-level alchemy techniques, Lin Yi controlled some materials for the Gathering Yuan Pill. At the same time, he wore the title of [Skilled Alchemist] to increase the success rate of pill refining.

The effect of this phase’s title is suitable for intermediate-level pills. It will probably be much less effective for high-level pills.

If the effect of the alchemy title could be applied to any level of pill, with his current Foundation Establishment Stage, he would dare to try refining a God Transformation Pill, since a third-level title would give him a 60% success rate.

The usual refining time for intermediate pills was around one day, while for high-level pills, the time increased significantly.

Although the refining time for Gathering Yuan Pills was not as long as for Golden Elixir Pills, it still required three days. This was for the smallest furnace serving of ten pills. If there were more materials to refine, the required time would also increase.

However, what would increase was mainly the time for the fusion of materials. The time for nurturing after fusion remained constant no matter how many ingredients were used.

If it were a Golden Elixir Pill, even the smallest furnace serving of three pills would require at least ten days.

The pill recipe that Lin Yi got from the Pill Hall was very detailed, including the fusion time for each material was described very clearly.

When he put in more than ten kinds of materials for fusion, there was suddenly a sound like a muffled thunder from the Alchemy Furnace.

He looked inside using the Spirit Wood Technique and couldn’t help but shake his head and smile wryly. Everything had turned into a black paste. After holding on for several hours, all his efforts went to waste.

However, one failure could bring him an opportunity for enlightenment. This was exactly why he dared to try refining high-level pills..
