"Pill refining not only requires the knowledge of various techniques and methods, but also requires the power of the soul. During the pill refining process, one must use the soul's power to monitor the entire process, control every detail from the medicinal herbs to the pill synthesis, and control the temperature and temperature during the process …"

Xu Fan quietly sat in the stone room. In his mind, he thought about how he had studied the < Beginner Alchemy Art > and the < Mysterious Sky Supreme Alchemy Scripture >, and how he had gained both of their alchemy insights and insights.

At this moment, he finally understood why the 'Mysterious Sky Supreme Alchemy Scripture' had the Spirit Refinement Scripture.

Pill refinement required the support of a strong soul. During the process of refining the pill, one would also need to constantly train and improve the strength of their soul.

Unknowingly, Xu Fan's understanding of the [Thirty-Nine Divine Forging Technique] had deepened.

There were dozens of refining methods recorded in the « Mysterious Sky Supreme Alchemy Scripture ». Xu Fan filtered them several times before finally deciding on a type called the « Eighty-One Great Alchemy Palm Art ». This pill refining method was the strangest out of all the pill refining techniques. This was because there was an additional link in the three important stages, and that was the process of refining pills.

Tempering Pills, to put it simply, were not something that could be retrieved after the Pills were successfully formed. Rather, it was a special method that used a type of extremely masculine and positive body strength to continue refining the Pills, in order to further enhance the quality and medicinal strength of the pills.

Just like refining, a weapon that has been tempered a thousand times is a good weapon!

There was no mention in the book that a pill refined by this method would be different from a normal pill refined by this method. However, this method was very suitable for a person who cultivated body forging technique.

The body of a cultivator that cultivated the body forging technique was incomparably powerful. Although Xu Fan had only just started cultivating, the strength of his body had increased to an unimaginable level in the past two months. This was one of the reasons why he chose this pill refining technique.

There were a total of forty-nine moves of the 'Eighty-first Grand Pill Refining Palm' and thirty-two moves of the 'Refining Pill Finger'. Every additional move added together would be a bit more formidable. Of course, the better the effect of a Tempering Pill was, the higher the quality of the medicinal pills one would obtain.

The scriptures also clearly stated that not only was this hand seal a special pill refining technique, it was also a powerful attack technique. It was beneficial and harmless to cultivators.

The central point of this method was to unleash an absolute concentration of power. This was the most basic requirement for a practitioner of body forging technique. What Xu Fan lacked the most right now was control over his strength. After all, he hadn't cultivated the Brahma Monarch's Stellar Body Tempering Scripture for very long, and he still hadn't broken through to the first layer. However, there was one good thing about practicing the 81 types of grand hand seals. It was that while practicing secret manuals, one could also improve the quality of alchemy while controlling one's strength. It was like killing three birds with one stone.

Practice was the only test of truth!

After sorting out his recent experiences in alchemy, Xu Fan carefully thought back to the steps and precautions he had taken to concoct pills. Then, his heart began to burn with excitement, as if he was eager to give it a try. He had an impatient feeling, eager to check up on his gains during this period of time!

Xu Fan took a deep breath, calming down his excitement. Then, he finally began his first round of alchemy!

The first step was to ignite the fire and heat the pill furnace.

The process of igniting the Earth Fire was very simple. Xu Fan activated a few techniques, and at the same time, he poured his true essence into the Earth Fire seal underneath the pill furnace.

The next moment.

"Puff!"

With a light puff sound, a dark red flame instantly shot out from the fire outlet under the pill furnace.

The Earth Fire automatically entered the pill furnace, causing the ground to tremble slightly. However, the calm pill furnace suddenly lit up.

Immediately, a scorching heat wave, accompanied by a pungent smell of fire and sulfur, filled the entire stone room.

"Lie down!"

This was the first time he had ignited an Earth Fire. Xu Fan was slightly shocked, but he also knew that the most taboo thing in refining pills was having one's mind being disturbed. This frightened him so much that he hurriedly tried to guard his mind.

"Is this the Earth Fire from the Core Fire Pulse?"

Xu Fan calmed his good mood, and with a bit of curiosity, he used his Spiritual Sense to examine the special flame in front of him.

This was the first time he had used and touched earth fire. Although this dark red flame looked small, he could clearly feel that the heat contained in this tongue of fire that looked like thick oil. It was countless times more terrifying than the fireballs he had released.

Fortunately, the flame from the mouth of the fire seemed to be very stable. It condensed into a single flame that burned in the middle of the pill furnace.

Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat as he increased the amount of true essence he needed. In an instant, he felt the flame grow larger under his control.

At the same time, he began to quietly use the 'Fire Control Secret Art' to control the changes in his flames.

Increase firepower, reduce temperature, drive fire into a rope...

As he familiarized himself with controlling the fire, Xu Fan heated up the pill furnace, not wasting any time.

Very soon, the pill furnace was preheated, and Xu Fan was able to control the fire more smoothly.

After the furnace had heated up, the next step was to add in the medicinal herbs and purify them.

Purifying medicinal herbs was the simplest and most basic skill in pill forging, and also an indispensable step in pill forging.

The so-called purification was the process of dissolving medicinal herbs into liquid through the furnace and the temperature of the earth fire, and then removing the impurities from the medicinal herbs.

Although this process seemed simple, it was a test of a pill refiner's technique and divine sense control. If one was not careful, it was possible to fail in purifying and lose medicinal ingredients.

"Alright, you can try refining the herbs now."

For the first time, Xu Fan carefully used his Spiritual Sense to control a common medicinal herb and put it into the pill furnace. This type of herb could be bought at any medicine store in the Yan Xia city.

This fellow intended to first use ordinary medicinal herbs to practice and try purifying the medicinal herbs. This was the first step in pill forging — purifying.

Although this fellow had quite a few spiritual herbs on his body and the Chaotic Seven Stars Tower could grow them, he still did not dare to easily waste them.

As soon as the herb entered the furnace, it began to slowly melt under the high temperature of the earth fire. Soon, the herb began to gradually melt under the scorching heat, eventually turning into a light green liquid.

What Xu Fan needed to do next was to control the melted liquid and continue refining it in the earth fire to remove the impurities from the liquid.

Xu Fan used his Spiritual Sense to feel the changes in the medicinal liquid. The originally turbid medicinal liquid couldn't help but emit black smoke, and the liquid also gradually became more transparent. From his Spiritual Sense, he determined that once the medicinal liquid no longer emitted black smoke, it would signify the success of the medicinal herb.

"Control the earth fire, increase the concentration of the liquid, and remove the impurities …"

Xu Fan said to himself as he continued to control the Earth Fire.

However, just as he raised the heating temperature, before he could cast the spell, he heard a slight sound from the pill furnace.

Following that, he smelled a burnt smell. The fire was too fierce, and the light green liquid in the pill furnace turned into nothing.

"..."

Without a doubt, the first purification of the herbs was a complete failure!

The failure this time was not only within Xu Fan's expectations, but also beyond his expectations. He didn't think it would happen so quickly. Fortunately, this kind of medicine was very common.

Xu Fan's mind only trembled a little, but he quickly regained his calm. Without any joy or sadness, he began his second purification practice.

Warming up, casting spells, lowering temperatures, once again forming spells … While continuously controlling the temperature, Xu Fan also constantly made various hand seals, using the purification technique to remove all impurities from the medicinal materials.

"Zi zi zi!"

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the stone room once again released a burnt smell.

This time, Xu Fan had always been carefully sensing the changes of the medicinal materials and controlling the temperature of the fire. He saw that the liquid that the medicinal materials had melted into was about to be purified out, but at the last step, Xu Fan's mind fluctuated because of the happiness that was about to be successfully refined.

"NND, you have done all this for me!" "I haven't even started concocting pills yet, but purifying the ingredients is already so difficult. It should be even more difficult when concocting pills. However, I don't think that I'll fail the next time I purify the ingredients."

Xu Fan let out a light sigh. In fact, it was just as Xu Fan had thought, concocting pills was just as difficult as he thought.

Frankly speaking, refining pills was like burning money, and it wasn't something that an ordinary person could afford. This was also the reason why most cultivators would rather spend a high price to purchase a pill, rather than concocting pills by themselves.

Very quickly, Xu Fan began his third and fourth refining exercises.

During this process, even though Xu Fan continuously summed up his failed every time and carefully controlled the changes in the medicinal liquid, all of them still ended in failure.

"F * ck, laozi doesn't believe it!"

Xu Fan gritted his teeth, then threw in another medicinal plant, which he then began to purify for the fifth time.

This time, Xu Fan was even more careful as he observed the changes in the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace, but he didn't feel any trace of mysterious power from the Earth Flame slowly seeping into his soul.

Finally, the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace became denser and shinier, no longer emitting any black smoke. Xu Fan knew that he had finally succeeded in purifying this herb!

With the experience of the previous failures, the fifth time was still successfully purified by Xu Fan.

For someone who didn't have any pill refining experience, he only had to try five times before he was able to purify it. It had to be said that this guy Xu Fan had some talent.

"Hahaha, I finally succeeded!"

Looking at the little green-brown liquid within the pill furnace that was emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, Xu Fan was somewhat excited. NND, it's not easy. Finally, I can purify the medicinal liquid! After successfully refining the first medicinal herb into essence liquid, Xu Fan used his spiritual will to control the droplet of azure-colored medicinal liquid to enter the pill bottle that he had prepared earlier.

"Is it not as difficult as I thought this time?" Why did I fail the previous few times? "

This time, Xu Fan had always been carefully controlling the earthfire. He had spent a full four hours to refine this herb, but it finally made him feel like he had mastered the purification process.

Thinking up to this point, this fellow actually felt a little proud of himself. He had completely forgotten the dejected mood he had had after his previous failures.

However, Xu Fan knew he was still around, so he didn't have to wait too long. He immediately woke up, and even though this purification was a success, he also knew that there were no tricks to this sort of technique. There was no such thing as the most proficient, only the most proficient. In order to increase the probability of success, there was no other reason but familiarity.

As a result, Xu Fan continued his purification practice.

However, just as he was about to use his spiritual sense to control a medicinal plant to enter the pill furnace, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Didn't he remember that there were thirteen different thoughts within his Zifu?

This was Xu Fan's way of doing things.

As a result, Xu Fan directly used up thirteen of the medicinal plants. This time, fourteen of them were thrown into the pill furnace at the same time.

This time, he had used almost all of his soul's power, and the purification speed had indeed increased by more than ten times … "Yi, what kind of power is this?"

When the first round of purification was about to end, Xu Fan finally discovered something strange. He felt a strange power from the Earth Fire continuously fusing into his soul, this kind of power was very calm, if he didn't carefully experience it, he wouldn't be able to discover it, "There are tens of thousands of different manifestations of energy in this world, the most basic of which are the five elements. He doesn't know what kind of power doesn't exist, but it seems like he still has to read a lot of books and understand the core essence of cultivation."

Although Xu Fan had discovered the abnormality, he didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort. Instead, he was very comfortable controlling the medicinal plants, and the rate at which his soul power was digesting it was gradually slowing down.

"The Mysterious Sky Supreme Alchemy Scripture said that refining pills can help increase the power of the soul. Is it related to this mysterious power? "It's a pity that it can only be absorbed passively. Otherwise, cultivating the power of the soul should be an easy task."

Xu Fan thought to himself that it was a pity that he was too greedy. Before doing that, he would first familiarize himself with his medicinal plant purification skills.

After that, he succeeded a few more times, but also failed a few more times. It took a full day for Xu Fan to finish refining the large amount of medicinal ingredients he had bought from the medicine store. Not only did Xu Fan not feel tired, but he seemed to be in high spirits. In front of him were dozens of pill bottles filled with liquid herbal essences.

In fact, even though Xu Fan had only used a single day to refine a bunch of normal herbs, this was only the first step in refining pills. Pill refining consumed a lot of time, and the ones with strong control could only refine one or two herbs at a time, while the ones with weak control could only refine them one by one. The longer the herbs took, the more precious herbs would be refined, and once a hundred years had passed, they would basically all belong to the category of elixirs.

The ordinary herbs that Xu Fan refined were all very young, and most of them only took a few years. Coupled with his powerful soul power, he still had thirteen thoughts of refining fourteen herbs in one go, which was why he was able to refine so many herbs in one day.

Although refining medicinal herbs was very boring and tiring, Xu Fan's harvests for the day were still very large. After he had refined all the medicinal ingredients he had bought from the medicine store, his purification technique had also greatly improved. He actually had a seventy percent chance of success.

"En, I can barely refine the spiritual herbs now. In the future when I use ordinary herbs to practice, my success rate will have to be above level 9. Otherwise, it would be such a pity to waste precious herbs in the future."

Xu Fan collected the elixir in a bottle. Although these elixirs were made from ordinary medicinal ingredients, they were still supplementary elixirs for concocting the Body Refining Liquid. They were indispensable, and a portion of the elixir was even needed for later alchemy.

"..."

Following that, Xu Fan began to purify the spiritual herbs needed to concoct the Body Refinement Liquid.

With his previous experience of purifying and practicing, he was now familiar with purifying the spiritual herbs. However, in order to ensure the success of the purification, he did not dare to use thirteen thoughts to control the herbs like he did with the ordinary herbs. He only used his consciousness to control the spiritual herbs.

After the first Spirit Grass was put into the pill furnace, Xu Fan quickly purified a single drop of the rich Spirit Liquid. Although he had consumed more time than ordinary herbs, it was still much less than the time he spent purifying the first ordinary herb.

"Not bad, not bad. The spirit liquid purified by this Spirit Grass is indeed much stronger than the spirit liquid refined by ordinary herbs. Moreover, the spirit liquid's natural spirit energy is much more powerful than Spirit Grass." It seems that this is related to the age of the Spirit Grass. Fortunately, the Spirit Grass is more easily controlled and perceived by the consciousness due to the fluctuation of the spirit energy, so it seems to be easier to control during the purification process. "

Xu Fan carefully examined the details of the purification process. He discovered that the spirit herbs were much easier to detect with his spiritual sense than normal herbs due to the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of the world. In other words, during the purification process, he could sense the changes after the spirit herbs melted into liquid to achieve accurate control.

Xu Fan experienced the difference between purifying spiritual herbs and ordinary herbs. After pondering a little, he began purifying the second spiritual herb. When the second drop was purified, this feeling was confirmed once again. Xu Fan was overjoyed. Since it had come to this, the success rate of purifying the pill that originally only had seventy percent had increased by another twenty percent.

In the stone room, a strong medicinal fragrance continuously wafted out. Only the occasional burnt smell would appear. Two hours later, Xu Fan let out a long sigh of relief. Although he looked a bit tired, there was still a hint of satisfaction and pride on his face.

"Motherf * cker, refining pills isn't easy at all. Not only does it consume true essence and spirit energy, it also consumes divine soul and spirit energy. However, your father has finally refined this Body Refining Liquid. Hahaha, your father is truly a genius!"

Xu Fan had always wanted to create the Body Refining Liquid. This was related to the breakthrough in the first layer of the [Brahma Monarch Stars Body Tempering Scripture]. When the Body Tempering Liquid was truly refined by him, it would be hard to avoid Xu Fan's excitement.

After successfully refining the Body Refinement Liquid, Xu Fan let out a sigh of relief. The next step was to officially refine the Qi Training Powder.

Xu Fan carefully stored the Body Refinement Liquid in the Chaotic Seven Stars Tower, then began to meditate and adjust his condition. He had to restore his condition to its peak before he could attempt to refine pills.

This time, Xu Fan finished adjusting his breathing after an hour. He then took out Spirit Accumulating Grass, Spirit Guiding Grass, and a few other common medicinal herbs from the Primal Chaos Tower. Then, he divided them into portions according to the ratio of the various spiritual herbs in the pill formulas and placed them neatly on the side according to the order in which they needed to be purified and merged.

After finishing all the preparations, Xu Fan pondered for a moment, carefully thinking through the steps and steps to refine the Qi Cultivating Powder. Only when he felt that everything was safe did he begin to draw out the fire and heat up the pill furnace.

Very quickly, the pill furnace turned a light red in the middle of the Earth Fire's grilling. The pill furnace had already been heated up.

Xu Fan felt that this was enough and immediately placed the Spirit Accumulation Grass in front of him into the pill furnace. He carefully controlled the earth fire, and the Spirit Accumulation Grass began to melt, turning into spirit liquid and purifying spirit liquid.

After that, Xu Fan began adding the Spirit Attraction Grass, feeling the Spirit Attraction Grass melt, then transforming into Spirit Liquid, purifying it. Finally, the two Spirit Grass's essence turned into Spirit Liquid, and in the pill furnace, the two Spirit Grass's liquid were extremely clear.

The step of refining Qi Cultivation Powder was not complicated at all. The next step was to first fuse the Spirit Accumulating Grass and Spirit Guiding Grass's Spirit Liquid into one, and after the two Spirit Accumulating Grass's initial fusion was completed, add a few other supplementary herbs, purify the auxiliary herbs, and then fuse the last bit of the pill's power. After successfully refining the Spirit Accumulating Grass, the last bit of the pill would be collected and the pill would be considered to have been successfully refined into Qi Training Powder.

Initial fusion! This was the first step to forming the pill.

Xu Fan released a series of incantations, beginning to fuse the spirit liquid refined from the Spirit Accumulating Grass and Spirit Drawing Grass.

At this moment, Xu Fan's heart began to tense up as the two types of spirit liquids began to fuse. He was afraid that if he used the wrong method to refine the spirit liquids or if he couldn't control the earth fire properly, he would turn the spirit liquids into scraps.

Under Xu Fan's careful hand fusion incantation, the medicinal strength of the two spirit liquids slowly fused together. In the last moment of merging, the fluctuations of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth became even more intense. Xu Fan knew that this phenomenon meant that the initial fusion had succeeded.

Afterwards, Xu Fan quickly added a few supplementary herbs, melting the herbs, and purifying them. Everything was going according to plan. Only after the supplementary herbs were purified into spirit liquid did Xu Fan let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he was only a few steps away from refining the spiritual liquid, Xu Fan's heart once again tensed up. Within the pill furnace, several different types of medicinal liquids were undergoing drastic changes.

Xu Fan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, but his spiritual sense didn't relax for a moment as he observed the changes within.

Deep absorption! The medicinal efficacy was overflowing!

This was the most important step in refining pills, and also the most difficult one to control.

During this process, he had to control the fusion of the spirit liquid very precisely.

The Qi Cultivating Powder was only the lowest grade of medicinal pills, so it didn't require a lot of main ingredients or supplementary ingredients. The Qi Cultivating Powder was only the lowest grade of medicinal pills, so it didn't require a lot of main ingredients or supplementary materials to be used to refine it.

Xu Fan used his Spiritual Sense to carefully feel the changes in the Spirit Liquid's medicinal properties and the temperature of the fire under the pill furnace, and then without any hesitation, he once again formed a series of complicated techniques. There was a method to refine pills with medicinal strength, and there was also a method to control the fire under the control of the Earth Fire.

"Gu gu gu!"

Within the pill furnace, the spirit liquid was violently boiling. Several types of spirit liquid's medicinal properties were gradually fusing and permeating the furnace. This was what a fusing pill looked like.

The process of fusing the spiritual herbs would last for a period of time. The spiritual energy of all the spiritual herbs would need to be fully fused and permeated, causing a qualitative change. At the same time, the spiritual liquid would be further purified. When the changes stopped, it would be the time for the pill to form.

Therefore, he would have to wait like this for the rest of the time. At the same time, he would form hand seals from time to time, performing all sorts of techniques.

Four hours later, Xu Fan used his Spiritual Sense to sense that the spirit liquid inside the pill furnace had stopped boiling. At the same time, a rich and fresh medicinal fragrance wafted out from the pill furnace.

Xu Fan understood that the deep fusion of the spiritual herbs' liquid inside the pill furnace had finally succeeded. At this point, the spiritual herbs had already been refined into the medicinal liquid.

Now, Xu Fan was going to take the last step. He was going to make the medicinal essences in the pill furnace slowly gather and solidify until they turned into pills.

"F * ck, is it finally forming into a pill?"

Xu Fan wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling both nervous and excited. He let out a sigh of relief, but quickly returned to his state of full concentration. He then performed a few hand seals to the pill furnace, finally condensing the liquid into a pill.

However, just as he formed a few complex hand seals, the medicinal essences in the pill furnace started boiling violently once again.

Immediately after, Xu Fan heard a few muffled sounds of "pu pu pu", and he could smell a thick smell of burnt flesh wafting out from the pill furnace.

"..."
