Chapter 551 Pill Refining

~~

90 million Shadow Gold. But once it's in the auction, if Yi Yan, Xu Qing, and the others compete, the price will rise to at least 300 million Shadow Gold. If we participate in the competition, the price may be higher. But what's more beneficial to us is that the aristocrat is a smart man. He knows that many people can't take over such a large territory, so he divided the territory into ten pieces and auctioned it. Gu LAN told him all the news he had heard.

Ye chen was silent for a moment, his right hand gently tapping on the table. Even if this Noble's territory was divided into ten pieces, each piece was six or seven kilometers in radius. It was already quite a large piece of land. Ye Chen's mind moved quickly and he already had a plan. As long as he could buy one piece, he could shake the entire Yanyun sacred city!

I don't know what Yi Yan, Xu Qing, and the others are thinking of to deal with me. If I'm so easily suppressed by you, then I'm not ye chen!

big brother Gu LAN, go and raise the funds immediately. You must be able to raise more than 200 million Yuan on the day of the auction! Ye chen said solemnly as he turned to look at Gu Fei. big brother Gu Fei, you, hou ye, hou Ling, and the others must expand the organization as much as possible and then recruit more Smiths!

"Craftsman? Why are you recruiting craftsmen?" Gu Fei asked in confusion.

"I have my own use for it!" Ye chen said with a mysterious smile.

that's not a problem. The craftsmen are all commoners. We still have some influence among the commoners. Even if it's craftsmen under the nobles, we can poach them! Gu Fei laughed heartily.

Everyone was curious as to what ye chen was up to. However, when they saw ye Chen's confident look, they were full of energy. After spending some time with him, they had completely believed in ye Chen's ability.

After making all the necessary arrangements, one of ye Chen's avatars continued to cultivate the nine Astra skies and the immortal state avatar technique while the other began to try to refine a tier one origin divine pill.

The heaven rumbling cauldron grew to the height of a man and hovered in the air. Its entire body was enveloped in black soul-fire, and it exuded an intimidating aura.

Ye chen carefully placed a portion of the ingredients needed to refine a grade one origin divine pill into the heaven rumbling cauldron. This portion of ingredients included some meat from a mysterious God rank spirit beast and more than sixty types of spirit herbs and mutant fruits. One portion of these ingredients was worth four hundred thousand Twilight Gold.

The soul-fire licked the bottom of the heaven rumbling cauldron, and the fragrance of various spiritual herbs and fruits gradually filled the room.

Ye chen carefully controlled the fire.

It was different from when one-star apothecaries like Ming Yuan refined medicinal pills. When ye chen refined medicinal pills, he did not need to use celestial Chi to control the heat or someone to help him start the fire. He was connected to the heaven rumbling cauldron mentally. With a thought, the heaven rumbling cauldron would automatically release pure soul Fire.

The heaven rumbling cauldron's soul-fire was much purer than ordinary flames, and it was extremely beneficial to the refinement of pills.

As time passed, ye chen carefully sensed the changes within the heaven rumbling cauldron. According to the book he had read a few days ago, he used some of the alchemy techniques of a one-star apothecary. A seven-colored Lotus bloomed quietly at the mouth of the heaven rumbling cauldron. It was extremely exquisite. Each petal was crystal clear and radiant as if it was carved from fine jade.

The seven-colored lotus flower was surrounded by black soul flames, which looked like black butterflies dancing in the air. It was a beautiful sight.

The formation of the rainbow Lotus was the key to refining the medicinal pill. Ye chen was more careful in controlling the heat. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. The rainbow Lotus trembled slightly. He wanted to save it but it was too late.

With a " bang ", the precious materials were instantly reduced to ashes in the heaven rumbling cauldron, turning into a pile of Coke.

At the critical moment, the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs and fruits did not fuse with the soul beast's meat!

Only then did ye chen realize that soul-fire alchemy seemed to be more difficult to control than ordinary fire alchemy.

Ye chen had thought that alchemy with Soul Fire would be easier. Now, he realized that it was not that easy.

He carefully recalled the process of refining the pill just now and summed up the mistakes he made during the refining. The medicinal properties of a few ingredients in a grade one origin divine pill conflicted with each other. Because of this conflict, once they were combined, the medicinal properties would be several times greater. Also, because of this conflict, the furnace would explode if one was not careful during the refinement.

His first attempt at refining pills ended in failure.

However, ye Chen's mentality was still quite calm. When he first started learning alchemy in the eastern continent, he had failed countless times before he succeeded. After all, he had just begun.

Ye chen cleaned up the heaven rumbling cauldron and placed a second set of ingredients inside. He continued to refine pills while being careful to avoid the mistake he had made earlier.

After about five or six minutes, there was another " bang " and the raw materials exploded again. The burning smell filled the entire room.

He failed again!

The first attempt at pill refining was often the most difficult. If one could succeed once, then the next attempt would be much easier.

Ye chen was not discouraged and continued to put in the third set of ingredients.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

…………

He failed again and again, more than ten times in a row.

At the beginning, it would explode after four to five minutes of refining. Then, it would explode after more than ten minutes. Then, it would explode after half an hour. He refined again and again and adjusted again. At the same time, he had mastered the alchemy skills of a 1-star apothecary.

He did not sleep for the entire night. At dawn of the next day, he began his 13th attempt. After refining for an entire hour and a half, the heaven rumbling cauldron suddenly emitted a strange fragrance.

Did he succeed?

Ye chen excitedly looked into the interior of the heaven rumbling cauldron. A round medicinal pill lay quietly in the cauldron. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the medicinal pill.

This was a first-grade origin divine pill?

Ye chen looked at the pill in his hand and frowned in confusion. This pill was different from the tier one origin divine pill refined by Ming Yuan in terms of shape, appearance, and fragrance. The tier one origin divine pill refined by Ming Yuan was Crimson in color and shimmered with a golden light. However, the pill he refined was completely black, like a crystal-clear black jade, shining with a faint luster. It was also slightly larger than ordinary tier one origin divine pills. The fragrance was even richer and fresher.

Holding the pill, ye chen took a light breath. The refreshing fragrance entered his lungs and circulated in his body. His spirit could not help but be lifted.

Let's test the medicinal properties!

Ye chen opened his mouth and swallowed the newly refined black medicinal pill. He thought that at worst, he would just explode and die. After all, even if he died, he would only be one of his clones and would not be in any life-threatening danger.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current flowed down his throat into his esophagus, quickly gathering in his dantian. His dantian was slightly hot, and a powerful medicinal power radiated to his limbs and meridians, making his whole body hot.

Traces of the medicinal power seeped into every cell in his body, continuously improving his Constitution.

In the dantian, the medicinal power was the most concentrated. Waves of majestic power spread in the dantian, making the dantian constantly grow.

What a powerful medicinal effect!

Feeling the changes in his body, ye chen was extremely excited. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal power of this black medicinal pill, urging it to strengthen his spirit sea.

In his dantian, his spirit sea continued to expand, and the space in his dantian seemed to have expanded a lot as well. It was like a vast and boundless starry world.

The nine stars revolved according to their respective orbits, and that trace of medicinal strength gradually fused into the nine stars, making the nine stars continuously grow stronger.

Under the violent stimulation of the medicinal power, ye chen felt an explosion in his dantian. His entire spirit sea suddenly strengthened. The tiny person in the center of the nine stars also glowed with a golden light. Its surface was dyed with a touch of pure gold as if it had been molded into a golden body.

Among the nine stars, on the star representing the wood element, some tender green seedlings slowly grew out. The seedlings had one or two Jade-like leaves, and the thin stem exuded a clear yellow light, causing the entire star to emit a kind of lively shimmer, which was very beautiful.

Ye Chen's eyes widened in surprise. The nine stars in his body could actually grow life. This was something ye chen had never thought of before. Could this wood-type star be covered in green plants like the small Tian Yuan world in the cloud wood star?

Ye chen looked at the other stars. Other than growing a little stronger, there were no other changes. He wondered if there would be any strange changes as his cultivation base improved in the future. He wondered what these nine stars would look like in the end.

After eating this peculiar black medicinal pill, ye Chen's cultivation base rose from the third level of the divine sea to the fourth level!

He had also cultivated the second level of the nine Astra skies to its peak.

This was only the second level. He didn't know to what extent the nine stars in his body would evolve to when he cultivated it to the end.

After completely absorbing the medicinal power of the black pill, ye chen finally opened his eyes slowly. In the depths of his eyes, the reflection of the nine stars slowly moved, as deep as the starry sky.

This medicinal pill's medicinal strength was really shocking. Its effects were much stronger than that Dao profound realm soul beast's meat from before!

However, he could not eat too many origin divine pills. He could only eat one every ten days. Eating too many would only be a waste.

Although this medicinal pill was different from ordinary tier one origin divine pills, its medicinal power was quite good. Before ye chen could figure out what kind of medicinal pill it was, he would treat it as a tier one origin divine pill.

Now that he knew the method of refining, he ate another pill and experienced the medicinal power of the medicinal pill. Ye chen was very satisfied with the medicinal pill he had refined and began to concentrate on alchemy. He wondered how many pills he could refine with these fifty sets of raw materials.

For the first pill, ye chen had wasted twelve sets of ingredients to refine it. The refining of the second pill was much simpler because ye chen had recorded the entire process with his vast mind without missing a single thing!

Even so, ye chen failed five times before he successfully refined the second medicinal pill.

After all, the refining process was too complicated. Every set of materials would have some subtle differences, and there would be some unpredictable changes during the process.

If nothing went wrong, he would be able to successfully refine one pill after every three attempts. Unfortunately, the time needed was a little longer, much longer than the time Mingyuan needed to refine first-class origin divine pills. It took an average of one and a half hours, so he could only refine three pills a day.
