nThe next day, arriving at the Nie family’s trading company, Su Yi took the midnight flower and white deer Ganoderma from Nie Ling’s hands and headed straight for the earth fire venue.
n
nCompared to his first time refining pills, this time, Su Yi appeared to be at ease.
n
nTurning on the furnace, he methodically refined and fused the pills.
n
nEvery step was done as perfectly as possible.
n
nHowever, even so, the failure rate of refining the mystic condensation pill still reached more than 50%.
n
nThis was despite the existence of the Time Pill Alchemy Technique. Even Su Yi did not understand how those apothecaries were able to persevere.
n
nHint: pill refinement successful. Obtained: Low-grade mystic condensing pill.
n
nHint: The temperature is too high. The materials are scrapped. Pill refinement failed.
n
nHint: Pill refinement successful. Obtained: Middle-grade mystic condensing pill.
n
n
n
nHint: The temperature is too high. The materials are scrapped. Pill refinement failed.
n
n…
n
nFor the next seven days, Su Yi continued to refine the mystic condensing pills without rest.
n
nOver 700 portions of materials were being consumed rapidly at the rate of 100 portions per day.
n
nHowever, the average number of pills completed in a day was only 40-50.
n
nSu Yi seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but if other apothecaries were to find out about this pill forging rate, they would definitely go crazy.
n
nOn the last day, Su Yi was left with ten portions of materials. After meditating for half a day, he began to refine.
n
nAlthough the data did not indicate much, the experience accumulated from the past seven days allowed Su Yi to have a deeper comprehension of pill refinement.
n
nTurning on the furnace, refining, fusing…
n
nHint: pill refining successful, obtained: high-grade mystic condensation pill.
n
nHint: the temperature is too high, the materials are scrapped, pill refining failed.
n
n…
n
nWhen he came to the last set of materials, Su Yi suddenly had an epiphany. His true essence surged out and he urged the earth fire to burn fiercely.
n
nAt this moment, the entire pill furnace was burning bright red, and one could vaguely see the changes in the pill furnace.
n
nThe demon more melted into pure spirit qi essence and combined with the other medicinal herbs that had been purified.
n
nUnder Su Yi’s control, this batch of medicinal pills began to flow and revolve, dyed with traces of strange halos.
n
nBut the strange thing was that these medicinal properties that were dyed with halos were actually unable to condense.
n
n“Refine it for me! “Su Yi shouted, his true essence bursting and affecting the earth fire.
n
nThe entire pill room was illuminated by the earth fire and started to become scorching hot.
n
nAt this moment, the medicinal properties of the halo seemed to be uncontainable and gradually condensed.
n
nRight at this moment… Crack crack crack!
n
nUnder the heat of the earth fire, the low-grade pill furnace that Nie Ling had given him actually started to show many savage cracks as if it was about to explode.
n
nSeeing this, Su Yi took a deep breath.
n
n“It’s not the time for you to break!”
n
nWith a furious roar, he once again circulated a large amount of true essence to wrap around the pill furnace that was about to break.
n
nThe situation was in a stalemate. Su Yi’s true essence surged, and the earth fire burned crazily. The pill furnace was about to explode, and the medicinal properties within the pill furnace were also rapidly fusing together.
n
nAfter an unknown amount of time, when Su Yi felt that his true essence was about to dry up, an intoxicating pill fragrance spread out from the pill furnace.
n
n“Fuse the pill for me!”
n
nHe shouted again, and all of his remaining true essences poured out.
n
nBoom!
n
nA loud noise could be heard, and the pill furnace exploded. The earth fire burned to the extreme, and the entire roof of the pill room was blown away.
n
nBang!
n
nIn the next instant, the door of the pill room was shattered by the true essence, and Nie Ling frantically ran in.
n
n“Fellow Daoist Su, are you alright?!”
n
nWhen she saw the scene inside the pill room, she could not help but call out anxiously.
n
n“Cough cough, I’m fine! The furnace exploded!” Su Yi replied and stood up.
n
nWithout the activation of true yuan, the earth fire subsided, but what was revealed was a complete mess.
n
nThe entire pill room seemed to have been burned.
n
n“It’s good that you’re fine. You’ve been refining for seven days, so the furnace explosion is normal. This is only a low-grade pill furnace, it can’t withstand such abuse.”
n
nNie Ling comforted him, and a trace of gentleness flashed across her eyes as she looked at Su Yi.
n
n“It’s fine, it’s fine. I don’t know if the last pill is ready!”
n
nSu Yi exhaled a mouthful of air as he replied. Then, he looked towards the spot where the pill furnace had exploded.
n
nAt some point in time, a halo lit up from the ashes.
n
nSu Yi’s eyes lit up. With a wave of both hands, a pill that emitted a powerful aura and was covered with strange patterns started to levitate.
n
nWhen it revealed its full appearance, the surrounding spiritual energy was actually attracted by it and gradually revolved around it.
n
nWhen Nie Ling saw this scene, a look of shock flashed across her pretty eyes.
n
n“What grade is this pill? Even a top-grade pill doesn’t behave like this, right?”
n
nHearing these words, Su Yi waved his hand and the pill fell into his hand.
n
nPill: Mystic condensing pill.
n
nRank: Dao-grade.
n
nMedicinal effect: Limited to the qi condensation realm. Increase the success rate of breaking through the qi condensation realm by 80%.
n
nCelestial-grade: After taking one pill, condense a strand of innate spiritual qi. After taking ten pills, the qi of a cultivator can be completely converted into innate spiritual qi.
n
nAfter seeing the attributes, the corner of Su Yi’s mouth twitched.
n
nNo wonder he had a sudden inspiration just now. It seemed that the 0.1% chance of the Dao-grade of the Time Pill Alchemy Technique had taken effect.
n
nHowever, even though he had worked so hard to refine the pill, it was not as strong as the efficacy of the Starry Sea Bottle’s purification.
n
nInnate spiritual qi was obviously not comparable to innate superior pure qi.
n
n“Take it to the auction!” Su Yi handed the pill to Nie Ling and began to adjust his breathing and recover.
n
nWhen Nie Ling saw the attributes of the pill, she completely lost her composure.
n
n“Dao-grade pill, 80% success rate of condensing qi and breaking through the realm!”
n
n“Innate spiritual qi! This can reduce the consumption of true essence by 1%!”
n
n“Fellow Daoist Su, aren’t you going to swallow this medicinal pill yourself?”
n
nHearing these words, Su Yi’s heart grew even more tired!
n
n1%…
n
nWho would not want to eat such a painstakingly refined medicinal pill? However, it could not compare to the purification effect of the Starry Sea Bottle!
n
n“There’s no need. You can take it to the auction! I’ll go back to my room to rest first.”
n
n“In addition, there’s a total of more than 300 mystic condensing pills of various qualities here. You can deal with them as you see fit. Just quote me the price.”
n
nSu Yi stuffed all the pills into Nie Ling’s hands and left immediately, leaving Nie Ling alone with a pile of pills in her hands. She stood there, shocked.
n
n…
n
nCompared to the price of the qi condensation pills, the price of the mystic condensing pills used for breaking through had increased by 20%.
n
nA low-grade pill was worth 3,600, the middle-grade one was 7,000, and the high-grade was 36,000.
n
nThere were more than 300 pills in total, of which 200 were low-grade, 100 were middle-grade, and 10 were high-grade.
n
nThis time, Su Yi did not manage to refine any top-grade pills. However, the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill was there, and Nie Ling could not estimate the price for it.
n
nNei Ling bought the low-grade and middle-grade pills and immediately put them on sale at the Nie family trading company to attract customers.
n
n
n
nA total of 1.78 million yuan was obtained.
n
nThe majority of the gains from the trip to the demon spirit mountain range had finally been sold.
n
nCurrently, the funds in Su Yi’s hands were close to 5 million.
n
n“Oh, I’ll break through to the late-stage of the qi condensation realm today.”
n
n“When the time comes, the system should have a new realm gift pack.”
n
n“In the next month, the most important thing is to consume the celestial-grade mystic condensing pill and condense the innate superior pure qi. In addition, I’ll eat two celestial-grade qi condensation pills to raise my talent to the middle-grade spiritual root.”
n
n“After the auction is over, I’ll break through to the foundation establishment realm and head to the great desolate central plains to try to join the Tiandao sect.”
n
nSu Yi thought about it silently and decided on a plan.
n
nHowever, he did not know that at this moment, there was a commotion in the entire Shangyang city because of the items that appeared in the auction.
