The first volume debuts Chapter 26 Preparation
After his cultivation level improved, Li Xuanfeng began to concentrate on refining pills. The rapid improvement still slightly affected his control over his cultivation level. At the beginning, he couldn't even refine the perfect quality of the Juling Pill. When refining the more advanced attack pill, the Explosion Pill, he even failed six times before succeeding.
The failure of the Exploding Pill was not as easy as the failure of the Gathering Spirit Pill and the Huiyuan Pill. Failure meant explosion. Fortunately, Li Xuanfeng was well prepared. He activated the Golden Spirit Armor to refine it from the beginning and even activated the protective formation in the room.
The power of the explosive pill can reach the power of a blow from a late stage of the Rongling Realm. The explosion caused by the failed refining even caused a lot of cracks to appear in the golden armor on Li Xuanfeng's body. This was the golden armor after absorbing the golden scale snake's defense. If it was before, the golden armor would probably be directly blown to pieces. Although the formation in the room was not broken, it also caused a tremor, and the room caused a slight vibration.
Shen Hua noticed something strange in Li Xuanfeng's room, and using his spiritual sense he discovered that it was the fluctuation caused by Li Xuanfeng refining the elixir. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he withdrew his spiritual sense, and found that Li Xuanfeng's golden spirit armor's defense could withstand it, so he felt relieved.
Refining pills allowed Li Xuanfeng to rapidly improve his control over his cultivation, and he soon returned to the almost perfect control he had before his cultivation was improved. The Explosive Pill was soon refined successfully, and the Perfect Spirit Gathering Pill was also refined again.
In addition to the Exploding Pill, Li Xuanfeng also refined a healing pill that was stronger than the Huiyuan Pill. These two kinds of pills had reached the level of mid-grade pills right after they were refined, and after refining them many times, they easily reached the top grade. Li Xuanfeng had become proficient in the art of alchemy.
After a few days, he began to refine the real purpose of this retreat - the Lingji Pill.
Lingji Dan is a pill that people in the Rongling Realm who are preparing to break through the Lingji Realm will prepare. It can greatly increase the chance of breaking through the Lingji Realm. Although it is a pill swallowed by people in the Rongling Realm, it generally requires a Lingji Realm alchemist to refine it. Very few Rongling Realm alchemists can refine it, and even if they can, the success rate and pill quality are very low.
Li Xuanfeng prepared a large amount of herbs for refining Lingji Dan. Now he can be said to be rich and powerful, and he is not worried about the consumption caused by failure. However, this mentality did not last long.
The previous success in refining pills made Li Xuanfeng very confident in himself. However, after refining Lingji Pills several times, this confidence completely disappeared.
When the tenth attempt to refine the Lingji Pill still failed, the herbs Li Xuanfeng had prepared for refining the Lingji Pill had been used up, and even the spiritual power in his body, which was already rich, was consumed. Li Xuanfeng finally realized the pain of other alchemists in consuming herbs when refining pills.
However, if other alchemists knew that the consumption was only caused by refining pills of a higher level, they would definitely want to vomit blood. They all incurred such consumption when refining pills of the same level. If they refined pills of a higher level, the consumption caused by failure would be unimaginable.
After Li Xuanfeng absorbed spiritual energy to recover, he went out to the trading pavilion again. He needed to buy pills to refine the Lingji Pill again.
Although he failed after ten attempts at refining, there were still gains. Li Xuanfeng has basically found the reason for his failure in refining. He probably only needs to refine it a few more times before he can successfully refine the Lingji Pill.
"Have you heard? The first-level auction will be opened in more than half a month. I heard that there will be many rare magic weapons and elixirs for auction. You can also sell items and elixirs and entrust them to the auction house for auction."
As soon as he entered the trading hall, Li Xuanfeng heard a lot of people discussing this topic.
Li Xuanfeng remembered that one of his master Shen Hua's books introduced the Xuanling Sect, and there was a mention of this auction house. The first-level auction house auctioned items of the Rongling Realm and the Lingji Realm, while the second-level was for the Lingji Realm and the Lingdan Realm, the third-level was for the Lingdan Realm and the Lingying Realm, and the fourth-level was for the Lingying Realm and the Lingshen Realm. There was even a fifth-level auction house.
The higher the level of the auction house, the less frequently it is opened. Generally, the auction house will be opened only when rare items appear. The first and second level auction houses are opened the most times. The first level auction house is basically opened once every three months, and sometimes even shorter.
Three months had passed since the last opening, and at that time Li Xuanfeng had just entered the world of cultivation and had not even learned the art of alchemy. He had not checked the books and jade slips in his master Shen Hua's study, and he had no idea about the auction house at that time.
After hearing about this, he became interested in entering the auction house to broaden his horizons and see if there were any items he needed. There were also some elixirs for sale, such as the perfect Spirit Gathering Pill which should be in need of someone, and the Spirit Base Pill which was about to be refined.
Since you are planning to buy items at the auction house, you need to prepare more spirit stones. For Li Xuanfeng, refining pills is the best way to earn spirit stones.
Li Xuanfeng bought a large amount of medicinal herbs and basically exchanged all the spirit stones in his storage bag for medicinal herbs. He prepared dozens of medicinal herbs for the several kinds of elixirs that he could refine, and the most of them were the herbs for refining Lingji Pills.
Although Li Xuanfeng's purchase of a large number of herbs attracted the attention of many disciples, the combat power he showed in the first trial level had surpassed many disciples, so few people dared to talk about him this time. In the cultivation world, the strong are respected. When you show strong enough combat power, the weak will not dare to offend you at will.
Some disciples had already seriously suspected that Li Xuanfeng was an alchemist. Although it was unbelievable, only an alchemist would buy so many herbs. However, the palace of the patriarch was blocked by a formation. If there was no need, the formation would not be closed to allow ordinary disciples to enter. The private residence of the patriarch, Huayue Garden, located in the palace of the patriarch, was always isolated by the formation.
Therefore, even if there was suspicion that Li Xuanfeng was an alchemist, no one could enter Huayue Garden to investigate and verify.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng buying so many medicinal herbs, one had to admit that he was very wealthy. And hearing that he had earned these spirit stones from hunting spirit beasts in the trial layer before, one could only admire him.
Seeing him buy so many herbs, they all agreed that Li Xuanfeng's failure rate in refining pills was relatively high, which made them feel a little comforted. Otherwise, it would be really heartbreaking to see that Li Xuanfeng not only practiced very fast, but was also an excellent alchemist.
After returning to the room from the trading pavilion, Li Xuanfeng began to continue refining the Spiritual Base Pill. After failing three times again, he finally refined a low-grade Spiritual Base Pill. When the brown round pill appeared in Li Xuanfeng's flames, Li Xuanfeng's eyes finally showed surprise again.
Refining the Lingji Pill indeed made him feel how difficult it was. He failed thirteen times and summarized the reasons before he finally succeeded, but it was only of inferior quality.
After refining it once, Li Xuanfeng's proficiency in refining Lingji Pills increased rapidly, and he soon refined mid-grade Lingji Pills. However, it was more difficult to refine top-grade ones, mainly because Li Xuanfeng's cultivation had not yet reached the Lingji realm, otherwise refining top-grade ones would have been a piece of cake.
Although Li Xuanfeng can already refine mid-grade spiritual base pills, there is still a one-third failure rate. There is generally a failure rate in refining pills, unless one has a high-level cultivation level and is refining low-level pills with a 100% success rate, or it is a low-level pill like the Gathering Spirit Pill.
However, the 100% success rate in refining the Soul Gathering Pill is only for Li Xuanfeng. There is still a failure rate for other alchemists in the Soul Rong Realm.
In the end, Li Xuanfeng only managed to refine ten Spiritual Foundation Pills, one of which was a top-grade Spiritual Foundation Pill that he refined with extraordinary luck.
After refining the Spiritual Foundation Pill, he began to refine other pills, and finally refined thirty perfect Spiritual Gathering Pills, thirty perfect Yuan Hui Pills, and dozens of top-grade Explosion Pills. One top-grade Explosion Pill is equivalent to the power of a spell strike in the late stage of Rong Ling. Although it is not worth mentioning for the Spiritual Foundation Realm, if ten or dozens of them are thrown out, the Spiritual Foundation Realm will change color.
This refining process took fifteen days, most of which was spent on refining the Lingji Pill. The refining speed of other pills had reached an ultra-fast speed. Although the quantity far exceeded that of the Lingji Pill, the time spent was shorter than that of refining the Lingji Pill.
According to the time calculation, the auction will open in three days.
Li Xuanfeng, who had just walked out of the room after refining the elixir, met his senior sister Shen Luoyan again whom he hadn't seen for two months. She was flying in the air on a red silk, flying straight towards Li Xuanfeng's room, and waving at Li Xuanfeng from a distance.
