Volume 6: The Mighty Starry Sky Chapter 672 Refining Difficulty
Before refining the pill, Li Xuanfeng carefully checked the recipe and remembered every detail of the refining step very clearly before taking out the pill furnace and starting to refine the pill.
Li Xuanfeng had not refined medicinal pills for decades, and knew that he would inevitably feel unfamiliar with it. Moreover, this time he was trying to refine a second-level elixir that he had never refined before, so he was already fully alert.
Setting up the furnace, controlling the fire, obtaining materials, and refining the medicine. Although a little unfamiliar with the techniques as it had been a long time since he had done so, he still had not forgotten the slightest bit of the memory of refining the medicine.
However, this time Li Xuanfeng did not take out the purple gold furnace he used to refine pills, but instead took out a pill furnace he had snatched from the star pirates.
This alchemy furnace among the star pirates' resources should have been snatched from a second-level alchemist. Its grade has reached the human-level realm, and it is an extremely good alchemy furnace.
For the Li Xuanfeng in the past, the purple gold furnace was indeed an extremely good alchemy furnace, but for him now, it is completely insufficient.
The Purple Gold Furnace is only a spiritual god-level alchemy furnace. If Li Xuanfeng uses it to refine second-level elixirs, unless it is controlled very stably, once there is a fluctuation, the Purple Gold Furnace will turn into a bomb and explode directly.
But now Li Xuanfeng has never refined the second-level elixir, so it is impossible for him to control it extremely stably.
The three pill recipes .
Healing pills and recovery pills are naturally essential and commonly used pills, while pills that increase soul power are also what the second-level cultivators strive for.
Although Li Xuanfeng had broken through the second realm for quite some time, he had only made good use of his spiritual power and artistic conception, but he had not really cultivated his soul power well.
After entering the second stage of cultivation, he is already able to use the power of the soul and his spiritual consciousness to perform extremely powerful soul techniques.
Divine consciousness is also an extension of soul power. After entering the second realm, it is no longer just used for perception, but can also be used to perform soul techniques!
There was once a cultivator from the second realm who was able to kill a strong man in the Spirit God realm with just a glance. His power was as shocking as the might of heaven, and he used his powerful soul power.
If the soul power is extremely strong, not only can the range of spiritual perception be greatly improved, but it can also display exquisite soul techniques and unleash extremely powerful power.
The powerful soul force, coupled with the exquisite soul technique, is enough to unleash power comparable to spiritual power techniques, or even surpass spiritual power techniques!
Moreover, soul techniques are hard to guard against, and there will be no surprising fluctuations during the performance. If the enemy does not have strong perception, it is the best choice for sneak attacks.
However, improving soul power is extremely difficult, even more difficult than improving physical strength. It requires more massive resources, forcing countless second-level cultivators to give up practicing this path.
Absorbing elixirs that increase soul power is one of the methods to cultivate soul power.
However, refining elixirs that increase soul power not only requires several extremely special medicinal materials, but is also extremely difficult to refine.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng was not in a hurry to refine pills to enhance soul power, but first refined simpler healing pills and recovery pills to familiarize himself with the refining method of the second-level pills.
Refining the second-level elixir is very different from refining the first-level elixir.
The first level of elixir can be said to be just a fusion of the spiritual essence of medicinal materials and condensed into an elixir. Although there are times when the fusion is unstable, compared to the second level of elixir, there is already a world of difference.
The medicinal materials of the second level already contain a unique spirituality, which makes them more likely to become unstable when fused . Moreover, they also need to integrate the majestic power of heaven and earth, which greatly increases the difficulty of refining.
As for high-level second-level elixirs, they even needed to integrate the power of the rules of heaven and earth, and the difficulty of refining them was as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Because of this, alchemists who can be promoted to the second level are extremely rare, and high-level second-level alchemists are as precious as rare treasures.
As soon as Li Xuanfeng started refining the second-level elixir, he deeply realized the difficulty of refining. The first three times even ended in failure with the furnace exploding, and all the medicinal materials in the furnace turned into slag.
Fortunately, this superior guest room was surrounded by an impressive formation, so the roar and violent spiritual power caused by the exploding furnace did not spread out, otherwise it would have attracted the attention of all the cultivators nearby.
However, Li Xuanfeng still attracted a lot of attention, because his guest room was on the top floor of the inn, and he needed to draw extremely powerful spiritual power from heaven and earth when he refined the elixir!
Many people noticed that this inn emitted an extremely amazing suction force, like a deep black hole, continuously absorbing the spiritual power between heaven and earth.
When Li Xuanfeng reached the critical moment of refining the elixir, the inn seemed to have turned into a huge funnel, madly absorbing the nearby spiritual power.
However, these people thought that there was someone practicing in the inn and was about to break through, so they couldn't help but gather around to watch. Many people even came to find out who the cultivator inside was.
Although the owner of this store was also surprised by the fame created by Li Xuanfeng, he did not tell others for fear of bringing trouble to himself.
He already knew that Li Xuanfeng's cultivation was above the Human Profound Realm, and he looked so young, so he was most likely a person from a powerful force, so he did not dare to offend him easily.
As an old hand who has been in Tianyun City for many years, he would not do such a thankless task.
Li Xuanfeng was mentally prepared for the failure of refining. Although the furnace exploded three times, his expression did not change at all. After thinking for a while and summarizing the experience of failure, he continued to refine.
Li Xuanfeng had not refined pills for a long time, so his slightly unfamiliar techniques were recovering at a very fast speed. After refining several times, he had regained his previous level of proficiency.
Therefore, Li Xuanfeng's refining speed became faster and faster, and he could even control the flame to remove impurities from more than ten kinds of materials at the same time, greatly increasing the refining speed.
Three days later, Li Xuanfeng finally succeeded in refining the medicine for the first time, and the whole room was filled with an extremely rich medicinal fragrance.
The healing pill refined by Li Xuanfeng this time is called Xuanyuan Pill. It can recover from injuries in the body extremely quickly and even has the effect of repairing injuries to the soul.
Li Xuanfeng raised his hand and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace. He took out the refined Xuanyuan Pill from it, observed it for a while, shook his head slightly, and muttered to himself: "It's just low-grade."
Pills of this quality were completely unable to meet Li Xuanfeng's requirements, so he casually put them away and continued to refine them.
Time passed, and five days passed in the blink of an eye. Li Xuanfeng successfully refined three furnaces of pills again and had already refined the middle-grade Xuanyuan Pill, but it still did not satisfy Li Xuanfeng.
Xuanyuan Pill is only a pill for the human Xuan realm. It is of little use to Li Xuanfeng. Now it is only a mid-grade pill, and its use is even less.
Li Xuanfeng was not in a hurry about this matter. After thinking for a while, he decided to postpone the refining and go to the trading pavilion to check out the situation at the Tianyun City auction house.
When he stood up, he habitually released his spiritual sense to sense the surroundings. Li Xuanfeng instantly realized that his pill refining had attracted the attention of many people.
So Li Xuanfeng took a step out of the room, used the skill of shrinking the earth into an inch and left in an instant, but did not walk out of the inn directly to avoid being noticed by other cultivators.
The monks watching only felt a breath flash through the space and disappear in an instant. By the time they reacted, there was no trace of it anywhere.
At the same time, they sensed that the astonishing devouring power emanating from the inn had disappeared, and they immediately realized that the person they were paying attention to had left.
However, the onlookers did not care too much. They were just curious about who the person who had made a breakthrough in cultivation was, and they were all people nearby who were paying attention to it in their spare time. Now that they did not find the person who absorbed spiritual power in the inn, they just dispelled their curiosity.
After leaving the inn, Li Xuanfeng appeared not far from the trading pavilion, and then walked slowly towards the trading pavilion.
The receptionist at the door of the trading pavilion recognized Li Xuanfeng instantly. The people above had already instructed that if they saw Li Xuanfeng again, they must receive him with utmost respect.
Before Li Xuanfeng entered the trading pavilion, the girl who had received him last time had already stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and asked softly, "Senior, are you going to continue to the second floor or to the auction house this time?"
Seeing her enthusiasm, Li Xuanfeng immediately knew that the elders of the Trading Pavilion had already given them instructions, and said calmly, "Go to the auction house."
"You've come at the right time. The second-level auction is about to begin." The girl smiled and nodded, then took Li Xuanfeng into the first floor of the trading pavilion and walked towards a teleportation array in the corner.
When Li Xuanfeng entered the trading pavilion, he immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators. The news that he was selling a large amount of second-level resources had already spread, and it instantly sparked a lot of discussion.
"Look, it's this person. The reason why the Second Realm Auction House has been opened so many times recently is because this person is selling a large amount of Second Realm resources!"
"It's him. I didn't expect him to be so young. I'm afraid it's true as the rumors say, that he is a genius from one of the five major forces."
…
Hearing everyone's discussion, the girl apologized and said, "Don't blame me, senior. The news of you selling resources last time has spread, and they are full of gossip."
"It's okay." Li Xuanfeng replied indifferently, and then continued to walk towards the teleportation array in the corner.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, the receptionist suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the last time, she was obviously a lot more nervous this time.
That was natural. Last time she just thought she was receiving an ordinary second-level cultivator. Although she was respectful, she was not nervous.
Because there are many second-level cultivators coming to the trading pavilion every day, she has received them countless times and has long been accustomed to it.
But now he received instructions from the elders, saying that the blue-robed young man in front of him sold an extremely astonishing amount of second-level resources, and was more likely a person from the five major forces.
The reception girl immediately understood that the trading hall had already treated the young man in blue robe as a guest of honor, and her heart instantly became extremely nervous, for fear of offending Li Xuanfeng.
