Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Divine Pill Success

Tianshui’s insight was certainly not something that Jing Yan could match.

Hearing Tianshui’s words, Jing Yan’s spirit was slightly shaken, and his gaze settled on Tianshui.

”It is said that Divine Pills have their own spirituality.”

”Ordinary Elixirs, even those of Perfect Quality, are merely inanimate objects. But Divine Pills have their own life, that is, spirituality. This is the essential difference between Divine Pills and Mortal Pills.”

”And if you cannot bestow spirituality upon a Divine Pill during refinement, I’m afraid it would be impossible to succeed.”

”How to bestow spirituality? I think, this might involve the use of Divine Thought.”

Tianshui spoke slowly. Of course, this was only his analysis; after all, he had never refined a Divine Pill himself and was not clear on exactly how to bestow spirituality upon a Divine Pill.

He could only point out a direction for Jing Yan to ponder on his own. Moreover, the direction he pointed out might not even be correct.

Yet Jing Yan felt that what Tianshui had said was very likely the crux of the problem. The reason for his failed Heavenly Repairing Pill refinement was the lack of spirituality in the Elixir.

His mind suddenly became clear.

”Alright, think about it yourself. I need to rest.” With that, Tianshui’s Divine Soul disappeared in front of Jing Yan.

”Bestow... spirituality?” Jing Yan pondered seriously.

He did not immediately attempt Alchemy again.

After all, there was only one Soul Containing Grass left. If he failed again, the Heavenly Repairing Pill would not be possible to refine in the short term.

He took out some Elixirs to recover his spent Primordial Energy. At the same time, Jing Yan also calculated the refinement process of the Heavenly Repairing Pill. Especially during the stabilization phase, how to imbue the Elixir with spirituality using Divine Thought and give it life.

Three days later!

”Let’s begin!”

”It’s best if I succeed, but if I fail, I’ll just have to find another way to find Soul Containing Grass,” Jing Yan said indifferently. His detached nature was also beneficial for the practice of Alchemy.

Separation!

Extraction!

Solidification!

With the experience from last time, the refinement of the Heavenly Repairing Pill this time was much smoother.

After half a month, the second attempt at refining the Heavenly Repairing Pill reached the final step of stabilization.

This time, Jing Yan covered the Heavenly Repairing Pill in the Pill Furnace early on with his Divine Soul, activating Divine Thought, and continuously tried.

Since the Qiankun Pill Path had no instructions on how to bestow spirituality upon an Elixir, this process could only rely on Jing Yan’s own exploration.

The final step of stabilization took three days.

On this day, Jing Yan exhaled a long breath, and the somewhat flushed complexion due to blood rushing to his face gradually returned to normal.

The fiery glow in Jing Yan’s eyes, however, flickered faintly.

Without any hesitation, he directly opened the Pill Furnace and swept through with his Primordial Energy, retrieving the Elixir from inside.

The assaulting Power of Laws surged wildly in the space.

”Buzz!”

The black Elixir spontaneously generated a force. This force was incredibly strong, as if it wanted to carry the Elixir away into the skies.

Jing Yan’s Divine Soul enveloped the Elixir, and he could sense that the Elixir in front of him had its own consciousness, seemingly wanting to break free from his constraints.

Jing Yan quickly cast a stream of Primordial Energy, firmly binding the Elixir. Soon after, his eyes showed an ecstatic joy.

It didn’t dissipate!

The two black Elixirs in front of him did not disintegrate like the previous time. Under the constraint of Primordial Energy, the Elixirs floated up and down as if struggling desperately. But ultimately, they could not break free from Jing Yan’s binding force.

”Haha, I’ve finally succeeded! The Heavenly Repairing Pill has been refined by me,” Jing Yan rejoiced in his heart.

Although there were only two formed pills in this batch of Elixir, they were true Divine Pills.

With a gesture of his hand, he took out two creamy-white Jade Bottles, and then Jing Yan activated his Primordial Energy, forcibly coercing the two Elixirs that wanted to flee into the Jade Bottles.

Once placed in the Jade Bottles, the struggle of the Elixirs ceased.

Gathering his thoughts, Jing Yan did not immediately leave the Qiankun Small World. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, recalling how he had bestowed spirituality on the Elixir in this round of Alchemy.

No matter what, he had succeeded in imparting spirituality to the Elixirs this time, since the Elixirs had been refined successfully.

As for exactly how he had bestowed spirituality to the Elixirs, Jing Yan needed to contemplate thoroughly and grasp the key aspects. This way, he would not have to rely solely on luck next time as he had this time.

After some deductions, Jing Yan felt he had roughly understood it, then he flashed out of the Qiankun Small World.

Refining these two batches of Elixirs had taken more than a month. He wasn’t sure what affairs had occurred outside that might require his attention.

Upon leaving the Qiankun Small World and stepping out of his room, a beautiful servant promptly came forward to report who had been looking for Jing Yan during this period.

Jing Yan released his Divine Thought, found Hu Donghe’s location, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing before Hu Donghe.

”Big brother... you, at this time, were actually in seclusion?” When Hu Donghe saw Jing Yan, he immediately puffed his beard and widened his eyes in shock.

”Haha, isn’t there big brother to handle it? Even if I’m not present, there wouldn’t be any problems,” Jing Yan laughed and said.

During this time, Hu Donghe was indeed very busy.

As the date of the Pill Dao Conference drew nearer, many people had already arrived at the Holy City to register for the conference. Someone needed to be in charge of these tasks, and since Jing Yan was not present, Hu Donghe had to handle them on his behalf.

Fortunately, there were a few Hall Masters assisting, so things went quite smoothly.

”You make it sound so easy!”

”That won’t do; I can’t let you off so lightly. Little brother, this time you must tell me how to refine the Longevity Pill,” Hu Donghe said with a feigned angry look.

”No problem, I’ll tell you the Pill Formula for the Longevity Pill right now.”

”But big brother, if you fail and waste the materials, don’t blame me,” Jing Yan chuckled.

The refinement of the Longevity Pill was not so simple. If Hu Donghe tried the Plum Blossom Pill, there wouldn’t be any issues. But with the Longevity Pill, given Hu Donghe’s capabilities, the chances of success would be very slim, probably not even reaching a ten percent success rate.

Without delay, Jing Yan relayed the Pill Formula for the Longevity Pill to Hu Donghe.

”After the Pill Dao Conference is over, I’ll try refining this Longevity Pill,” said Hu Donghe, his face beaming with excitement.

Jing Yan just smiled and said no more. After all, once Hu Donghe failed a few times, he would no longer attempt it so readily.

Next, Jing Yan inquired about the registration matters for the Pill Dao Conference with Hu Donghe, who roughly briefed him, and there were no issues.

Hu Donghe also told Jing Yan that the Third Hall Master, Kui Long, had been genuinely putting in the effort. These days, Kui Long had practically taken up residence at the Splendid Dojo; someone uninformed might even think that the Pill Dao Conference was being organized by Kui Long of the Holy Hall.

Hearing this, a flicker of surprise passed through Jing Yan’s eyes. This Kui Long truly had some value.

After chatting for a while, Jing Yan left a message and disappeared again.

”Big brother, keep an eye on the dojo for me! I’m going to go into seclusion again.”
