Chapter 274: Chapter 256: Successful Refining of Cultivation True Elixir, Fourth Grade Pill Master
One quarter of an hour…
Two quarters of an hour…
An hour…
…
…
This third-rank Elixir Medicine was much more difficult to refine than the second-rank ones.
It wasn’t until four hours had passed
that the ingredients in the furnace gradually turned into Medicinal Liquid.
Perhaps it was because this was his first time refining it, and he was somewhat unskilled.
Four hours had passed, and Lin Jing now had beads of sweat on his forehead.
However, his expression remained calm, and he stared intently at the flames at the bottom of the furnace.
At the same time, he ran his Cultivation Technique, continually applying Spiritual Power, and controlling the flame at the bottom of the furnace.
Under Lin Jing’s control, the white flame at the bottom of the furnace waxed and waned…
Lin Jing also extended his Divine Sense, continuously observing the movements of the Medicinal Liquid inside the Pill Furnace.
Just like that.
Time continued to pass…
Soon, six hours had come to pass.
By this time, the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace had turned red hot.
From the cracks around the lid, wisps of white vapor ceaselessly seeped out.
Paired with this white vapor was that tantalizing Pill Fragrance.
The appearance of Pill Fragrance meant that the Elixir Furnace Medicine was about to be completed.
At this moment, Lin Jing dared not be distracted.
He focused all his attention, using his Divine Sense to observe every move inside the furnace.
He didn’t even have the time to deal with the large sweat beads on his forehead.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing’s hands were busy, as he increased the supply of Spiritual Power even further.
He made the flames at the bottom of the furnace surge even more.
…
…
Thus, another quarter of an hour passed by.
By now, the Pill Fragrance had filled the entire Alchemy Room.
Lin Jing’s face was slightly pale, veins faintly visible on his forehead, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted, forming the character “?”.
Clearly,
Lin Jing was also finding it hard to bear, but he still remained completely focused, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Finally.
As the Pill Fragrance filled the entire Alchemy Room and continued to drift outside,
a System prompt entered Lin Jing’s ears.
This System prompt was like the sound of heavenly music.
Upon hearing it, Lin Jing’s spirit was jolted, and then he finally relaxed, a smile appearing on his face.
“Ding!”
“System Prompt: Congratulations host on your first successful refinement of a third-rank Elixir Medicine, reward: 30 Harvest Points.”
“Elixir Medicine successfully refined, Alchemy Proficiency +27.”
“Ding!”
“System Prompt: Host has successfully refined third-rank Elixir Medicine, Fourth Grade Alchemist proficiency unlocked.”
“Ding!”
“System Prompt: Current proficiency has been maxed out, Alchemy automatically upgraded, congratulations to the host for advancing to a Fourth Grade Alchemist, reward: 40 Harvest Points.”
A series of System prompts left Lin Jing stunned for a moment.
It wasn’t until a while later that Lin Jing came to his senses.
This successful refinement of a third-grade Elixir Medicine had finally improved his long stagnant proficiency at the third-grade Alchemist level.
And Lin Jing naturally advanced as a matter of course to that of a Fourth Grade Alchemist.
Now, as long as he was given enough Alchemy Ingredients, he could refine Fourth Grade Elixir Medicines.
Afterward.
Lin Jing walked up to the Pill Furnace.
This time, the System prompt did not indicate the refinement of any Pure Elixir.
It seems that this batch did not yield any Flawless Elixir Medicine.
However, this was within Lin Jing’s expectations and not at all surprising.
After all, it was Lin Jing’s first time refining the Cultivation True Elixir, and he wasn’t very skilled yet.
Moreover,
the chance of producing a third-rank Flawless Elixir Medicine was not very high.
Lin Jing walked over to the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace and lifted the lid.
Instantly, the rich pill fragrance wafted out.
This pill fragrance was much stronger than that of the second-rank elixirs.
He then peered inside.
At the bottom of the furnace lay four elixir medicines, resting quietly.
Lin Jing then scooped them into his hand.
Two of them weren’t very good; their colors were mottled, and their shapes were not perfect, somewhat oval.
Clearly, these were Low-grade Pills.
Another one was slightly better than the two. Although its shape was also somewhat oval, the mottled marks on it were much fewer.
This one was Medium Grade.
Lastly, there was one more.
It was round and smooth, with a luminescence faintly visible on its surface. And that pill fragrance, it could be said, was mostly emanating from this very elixir medicine.
This last one was a Supreme Grade Cultivation True Elixir.
In the very first batch, he had refined a Supreme Elixir.
At this moment, Lin Jing was already very satisfied.
Although there were three that were Low-grade and Medium Grade,
if put up for auction, they would still cause a frenzy.
The Cultivation True Elixir was a miraculous elixir that could help a Foundation Establishment Cultivator advance to the Golden Core stage.
Not to mention other places, just in Nanshan Immortal City alone, there were countless cultivators stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment, unable to make any progress.
Not even two hands, perhaps not even four could count them all.
You should know, a Golden Core Cultivator could establish a major clan.
If Lin Jing were to release the Cultivation True Elixirs he had, it’s likely that the nearby small clans around Nanshan Immortal City would go bankrupt just to purchase them.
Not to mention those large clans that already have a Golden Core Immortal at the helm, those families typically would have one or two cultivators stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
They, too, would need Cultivation True Elixirs.
After all, how could a clan have too much top-tier combat power? The more, the better, of course.
……
Afterwards, Lin Jing packed up the three Cultivation True Elixirs.
After securing the three Cultivation True Elixirs,
Lin Jing took out a Pure Jade Box and placed the Supreme Grade Cultivation True Elixir inside it.
This Supreme Elixir Medicine already had a faint glow circling it.
Clearly, even among Supreme Elixirs, it was considered Superior Grade.
If stored in a common container, the glow would probably slowly fade away before long.
Perhaps, the Supreme Grade Cultivation True Elixir would even degrade because of this.
Lin Jing, naturally, would not allow this to happen to the elixir medicine he had worked so hard to refine.
To be safe, it was best to use the Pure Jade Box.
After packing everything, Lin Jing put all the elixir medicines into his Storage Bag.
He then took a long breath.
This alchemy session had caused a great toll on both his body and mind.
One reason Lin Jing felt rather tired was that his cultivation was simply too low.
Moreover, the difficulty of refining Cultivation True Elixir was immense, much more so than ordinary third-rank elixirs.
Normally, those who had the chance to refine Cultivation True Elixirs were well-established, veteran pill masters with at least a peak Foundation Establishment cultivation or directly Golden Core Cultivators.
Whether in terms of cultivation or the strength of their Divine Sense, they were much stronger than Lin Jing.
Especially when it comes to Divine Sense, during the refining of a third-order elixir, if the Divine Sense is insufficient, it’s very easy to falter and lose all previous efforts.
This was also why, during the last time in the Fang Market, those several Golden Core Immortals asked Elder Master Li to refine the batch of Cultivation True Elixirs.
Lin Jing had heard about the difficulty of refining Cultivation True Elixirs before.
But the thought of that 40% Divine Sense strength bonus in the Alchemy Room had filled him with confidence right away.
It was also thanks to that Alchemist’s Divine Sense strength bonus.
If not for that Divine Sense bonus, perhaps Lin Jing would have found it very difficult to continue.
