Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 740: Chapter 306 - I am for the Supreme, You are for the Leader_1

Luo Chen verbally stated his intention of using his full strength to refine the Medium Grade Jade Dew Pill for the Jueqing Clan.

In reality, he didn’t need to put in his maximum effort at all.

Even more so, he would not refine such an item for quite some time.

The reason was simple: He had already stockpiled a batch of Jade Dew Pills, with a considerable quantity in hand.

At least for a year or two, he wouldn’t need to worry about this issue.

During this period, his energy would be devoted to the Blood Evil Qi Pill.

This elixir was what Wang Yuan had been eagerly wishing for, an elixir that could enhance his body refinement.

Back when Luo Chen was in his Qi Refinement Stage, he had promised to refine it for him.

Over the years, he had often studied the formula of the Blood Evil Qi Pill and his understanding of it was so thorough that he could sketch it on his mind.

More importantly, based on his understanding, he had constructed a formula for a First Order Blood Burning Pill.

However, over the years,

The refinement of the Blood Evil Qi Pill had not been put on the agenda.

The reason was simply that the materials were hard to find.

The secondary materials could be gathered quite early.

But the three main materials were very unusual and extremely difficult to collect.

Not until recently had Wang Yuan gathered the last of the three main materials.

”Everything has been prepared, and I have left nothing out.”

”With my current level of pill refinement skills, I wonder if I can succeed without the beginner’s guide from the system?”

This time, he wishes to ”test his skills”.

It is not that he is stingy about his Achievement Points.

He had considerable Achievement Points, a mere pill formula hardly costs much.

Luo Chen merely wanted to test if he could free himself from the constraints of the system with his current foundation in the Dao of Alchemy.

Moreover, there was no elixir he felt more confident of refining than the Blood Evil Qi Pill.

”I hope everything goes smoothly!”

Luo Chen took a deep breath and began to process various forms of Cultivator’s Essence Blood.

As he opened the Ocean Swallowing Jar, a pungent smell of blood instantly overwhelmed the room.

Luo Chen furrowed his brows.

”This can’t be the essence blood Wang Yuan collected from the Ancient Plains Mountain Range all those years ago, I hope it hasn’t gone bad.”

He poured out all of the blood essence

And incorporated it into a frosty ice basin.

Then, from the medicine rack, he took out various auxiliary medicinal materials and added them to it.

After spending half a day, all the materials were added.

Luo Chen stimulated his Spirit Power, and the ice basin exuded a thick chill.

Gradually, under the influence of the cold, the flowing essence of blood converged into a whole cluster of crystal-clear items.

It seemed like blood jelly, or perhaps fruit jelly.

Lines of blood filled the inside, resembling human muscles and veins.

”Proceed!”

...

It took Luo Chen a full ten days to process all the components.

Not until everything was ready, did Luo Chen manipulate the Second Order Earth Fire and begin to refine the Blood Evil Qi Pill.

He cut off a small chunk of essence blood ”jelly”, casting it into the Ice Royal Tripod.

Luo Chen slowly smelted it with the Earth Fire.

During this process, he constantly introduced other materials.

”The most challenging step in refining the Blood Evil Qi Pill, is when it introduces the Netherworld Yin Qi.”

”Netherworld Yin Qi is rich in the aura of death extinguishment. It is completely opposite to the vitality of the Cultivator’s Essence Blood.”

”In this case, the Purple River Carriage, which contains innate qi, must be used to neutralize it.”

The so-called Purple River Carriage is nothing other than a placenta.

In the mortal kingdom, it is also often sold.

This item teeters between life and death, preserving its conflicting qi mechanism through special means by cultivators.

Thus, it was included in the rank, transformed into a First Order medicinal material.

What Luo Chen had to do now was to mobilize its medicinal characteristics, to reconcile the contradictions between the Netherworld Yin Qi and the Cultivator’s Essence Blood.

Under his careful operation, the medicinal liquid in the Ice Royal Tripod began to slowly transform.

...

”The first attempt failed: the reason is unknown.”

”The fifth attempt failed: the Purple River Carriage’s medicinal potency is inadequate, making it difficult to reconcile the Second Order Netherworld Yin Qi. Using the experience from refining the Blood Ignition Pill, the innate qi should be supplemented with the Tian Yang Fruit.”

”The seventh attempt failed: insufficient fire control, why was the fire control insufficient?”

”The eleventh attempt failed: the fire control was incorrect again, what’s the matter, can’t the Second Order Earth Fire satisfy the conditions for refining this pill?”

When the number of failures reached the fifteenth attempt,

Luo Chen stopped the work in his hands.

He stepped out of the pill room, took out the piece of beastskin paper, and read the pill formula again.

In reality, he had already memorized this formula like the back of his hand.

However, these various failures caused him to somewhat doubt himself.

”Where did the problem lie?”

”I strictly followed the description in the pill formula, didn’t I?”

”Why does there appear to be insufficient fire control, even if I add Foundation Establishment True Fire, it doesn’t feel right!”

For a time, Luo Chen even considered using the system’s beginner guide.

His lack of confidence was one reason.

The limited quantity of the Netherworld Yin Qi and the Cultivator’s Essence Blood was another.

If there were too many failures and too many resources wasted, he wouldn’t know how to explain to Wang Yuan.

Even though Wang Yuan would most likely not blame him,

He still couldn’t get past his own hurdle.

The big talk was already out there.

Clicking on the attribute panel, Luo Chen gazed at [31] Achievement Points and sunk into silence.

The extra point was from the technique ”Turtle Spirit Armor”, which he had cultivated to the level of mastery by practicing both Turtle’s Breath and Armor Covering, thus raising the skill’s proficiency.

He was not concerned about that.

What he was weighing was whether he should use them to help enter the beginner level.

He had a feeling that he could definitely enter the beginner level independently, without the aid of the system!

Among the Second Order Pill Refiners, he had confidence that he was indeed outstanding.

After all, most of the Pill Refiners became Second Order by merely refining a single type of Second Order Pill.

But as for him, Luo Chen, he had refined countless First Order Pills countless times, and had made a great number of Ascendant and Top Grade Pills.
