Chapter 645: Soul-Fixing Pill
These alchemists all start with the easier ones and leave the most difficult ones for later. From the perspective of refining difficulty, the Xuan Yang Fire Pill is more difficult to refine than the Small Transformation Pill, but because of the medicinal materials, the Small Transformation Pill is now more difficult to refine than the Xuan Yang Fire Pill.
Shen Xiang, who had always been in the lead, was now far behind others. This made people a little confused, but seeing him sweating profusely, many veteran alchemists realized something!
"Looking at him, is it the first time he has refined this kind of pill and why is this happening because of the refining method?" said an old man in the crowd. Whenever one uses the refining method to refine an unfamiliar pill, it will usually be very strenuous because it is very mentally exhausting.
Shen Xiang is now refining the pill in his mind, and when something goes wrong, the furnace will explode in his mind. He will find the error in time, correct it in time, and then continue to refine... This is often repeated many times, and the speed must be very fast. If there is no time to correct the error, the furnace will explode.
"It's really not difficult to refine this small transformation pill!" Shen Xiang opened his eyes, took a long breath, opened the lid of the pill furnace, and took out two blood-red pills.
There were actually two pills! Seeing that color, you knew it was of top quality. Many people couldn't understand why Shen Xiang was still pursuing perfection under such circumstances. It was his first time refining, but he was still so serious!
What they didn't know was that Shen Xiang's subconscious mind would not allow him to be careless in refining pills, and in his eyes, the time required to refine pills of poor quality and small quantity was the same as that required to refine them perfectly.
Shen Xiang also processed the medicinal materials for the Soul-Fixing Pill in a leisurely manner. Judging from his appearance, he didn't care about winning or losing at all. Instead, he regarded alchemy as a fun thing. He was completely immersed in it and got happiness from it.
This is a state of mind that can only be reached by those who devote themselves to alchemy. It is also the state that many veteran alchemists begin to pursue when they get old. This state of mind can greatly improve alchemists.
The more this is the case, the more terrifying it is. Although Fan Yakun, Lin Xiyi and Xie Nanfeng, these three geniuses are far ahead, they feel inexplicable pressure, and this pressure all comes from Shen Xiang.
When they saw Shen Xiang processing the medicinal materials for the Soul-Fixing Pill, his movements were very clumsy, and everyone could tell that Shen Xiang had never refined the Soul-Fixing Pill before!
Anyone who knows about alchemy knows that Shen Xiang is challenging his own limits and constantly surpassing them. He actually regards this competition as his own experience, so he will devote himself to alchemy, because this result of surpassing the limit is far more important than the Qianyang Holy Water.
As for the other nineteen alchemists who participated, they basically all knew how to refine low-grade earth-level pills, such as the Nine Aperture Body Tempering Pill. If they lost to Shen Xiang in this competition, then it would not be an ordinary loss, but being completely left behind, because Shen Xiang had never refined these pills before.
Therefore, Fan Yakun and the others felt inexplicable pressure. If they lost here, it would be a very shameful loss, but even if Shen Xiang lost, no one would laugh at him.
The Soul-Fixing Pill is a very rare soul-type pill in the mortal martial world, so it is very difficult to refine. After a person dies, the soul will dissipate and leave the body, but by taking the Soul-Fixing Pill, the soul can be stabilized for a period of time, and then the technique of resurrecting the dead can be used to revive the person, or a pill that can bring the dead back to life can be taken to revive the person.
Therefore, this kind of pill can be considered a life-saving pill. Especially for some people whose souls will be affected when they are practicing, they are prone to going astray and causing damage to their souls. However, after taking the soul-stabilizing pill, they will be safe for a long time.
"The main medicinal materials are only the Soul-Fixing Grass and the Spirit-Soothing Flower. The most difficult thing about these two medicinal materials is that they can backfire and attack your soul along with his consciousness. Especially when it is burned by flames, it can even affect your fire soul. As long as you overcome this difficulty, everything else will be easy."
With Su Meiyao's guidance, it became easier for Shen Xiang to refine the elixir, but this was just experience. If he wanted to succeed, he had to experience it himself.
Long Xueyi said: "If your mental strength is not enough, I can use the dragon ball to transfer some to you. The dragon ball still has a lot of energy."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Shen Xiang put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace. He was the slowest one in refining the third furnace.
However, everyone knows that the Soul-Fixing Pill is not easy to refine. Even for those with a certain amount of experience, if they are not careful when refining, their soul will be attacked. Even many veteran alchemists are afraid of that kind of pain, so once the two main medicinal ingredients backfire, it is basically declared a failure.
Not long after the start, Shen Xiang heard a scream. A man's alchemy furnace exploded, and the man was rolling on the ground howling. An old man suddenly came to him, gave the man a pill, and then took him away from the arena.
"As long as it's the first time for someone to do this, their soul cannot avoid being attacked. It looks like Shen Xiang is going to fail here." Xie Shilong said, still feeling scared when he thought of the first time he refined it.
Shen Xiang had already set fire to the medicinal materials when he felt a strange and violent force raging in the alchemy furnace, causing it to shake.
"It may be difficult to use the refining method to practice the kind of power changes that attack the soul. Refining the Soul-Fixing Pill relies on experience." Xie Shilong laughed. He felt that he would soon see Shen Xiang rolling on the ground and howling.
Just as Xie Shilong said, the power released by the Soul-Fixing Grass and the Spirit-Calming Flower is very elusive. Without a fixed pattern of power changes, it would be difficult to use the refining method.
However, Shen Xiang's training method had already achieved a breakthrough. He could observe the rapid changes in power very carefully. Although the changes in power were irregular, when the changes became very slow in Shen Xiang's eyes, he had a way to integrate them into the training method and correct the errors that would occur.
In just half an hour, five people had their souls attacked by the power of the herbs and had to withdraw from the competition. What surprised many alchemists was that Shen Xiang, who was refining the Soul-Fixing Pill embryo for the first time, actually persisted longer than the others. This overturned the cognition of many alchemists. You know, most people were tortured half to death when they refined it for the first time.
"Oops!" Shen Xiang couldn't help but shout, and then he let out a low roar, and his alchemy furnace began to shake wildly.
What everyone had been expecting finally happened. Seeing Shen Xiang like this, they concluded that Shen Xiang had failed. However, the violently shaking alchemy furnace suddenly stabilized!
Seeing Shen Xiang's face full of tears, one knew that he was enduring severe pain in his soul. Despite this, he refused to give up and stabilized the alchemy furnace to prevent it from exploding!
