Chapter 82 - 82: Spirit Pattern Engraving

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although it was taking longer, it was obvious that he was making a lot more progress this time.

After a while, he managed to successfully fuse the medicinal ingredients. Although it was a little slow, Li Ming was extremely cautious throughout the entire process. He did not allow for any carelessness all throughout.

With his mind highly focused, he finally managed to completely fuse all the medicinal ingredients together.

However, this kind of medicinal pill required more than just fusing the medicinal herbs together.

There were still other more complicated operations to undertake!

For most medicinal pills of the fourth grade and below, all that was needed was to condense the essence of the medicinal ingredients, refine them, and then condense the pill.

However, this soul concentration pill, which was very close to the fifth grade, was different. After the fusion was completed, Li Ming needed to pour the heaven and earth spiritual qi into it during the refining period. But when he was refining the pill, due to the pill refining technique that he was using, there was already a sufficient amount of spiritual qi that had been infused into the pill, so he did not need to infuse any more spiritual qi into it at all.

However, this pill was unusual.

Above the fourth grade, the medicinal pills that were refined generally needed spirit patterns to be engraved onto to them.

These so-called spirit pattern engravings were a symbol of high-grade pills.

At the same time, the spirit pattern served the purpose of containing the spiritual qi inside the pill, greatly improving the quality and effect of the pill.

It could be said that these engraving were symbolic of high-grade medicinal pills.

The more complicated the spirit patterns were, the greater the effect of the pill. At the same time, their grade would generally be much higher.

In this regard, every pill refiner also had a spirit pattern that belonged solely to them, which could also be considered their mark.

Although there had never been a pill refiner above the fourth grade in the Eastern Continent, this knowledge could still be found in some records concerning the entire world of cultivation, so Li Ming was able to learn about it.

The next step that Li Ming needed to take was to use the heaven and earth spiritual qi to engrave spirit patterns onto the pill during the refinement process to enhance its effects.

But as Li Ming did not have any experience in this, he simply followed his intuition and started engraving on the pill.

This required the precise use of powerful mental strength.

It was only in this way that he could control the fire, control the pill, and stabilize the pill all at the same time. Then, while doing all that, he would have to divert some of his attention to control the heaven and earth spiritual qi to engrave spirit patterns onto the pill.

During this process, he had to be especially careful.

This was because the moment there was a mistake in any step of the spirit pattern engraving, the entire pill would be wasted!

Then suddenly!

Boom!

When Li Ming began engraving, the pill exploded before he could even make the second stroke!

He failed on the spot!

It was obvious that engraving spirit patterns was not easy at all. Every stroke was filled with deep meaning, and the control required for each stroke was incomparably taxing.

Although he failed again, it was clearly not enough to put him down.

Without hesitation, Li Ming started refining again.

Although the process was complicated and time-consuming, Li Ming still continued to refine tirelessly.

Inside the storage pouch, the black stone watched Li Ming’s actions with curiosity.

It had long known that Li Ming’s soul and mental strength were powerful. Li Ming’s soul and mental strength were not something that a normal foundation establishment cultivators could possess.

Even a golden core cultivator’s soul strength would not be as strong as his.

However, it was under such circumstances that Li Ming’s pill refinement reached an abnormal level.

Looking at the monstrous existence that was Li Ming, the black stone clearly started having some plans.

He was fellow who was treading the path of cultivating both his body and qi. He was cultivating the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, and his talent in pill refining was even more abnormal.

As long as he was given enough time to grow, he would definitely become an overlord in the world of cultivation!

The black stone began having some thoughts in its mind, but it did not voice them out.

At this moment, it was more curious about whether or not Li Ming would be able to successfully refine the soul concentration.

From the very beginning, the black stone had realized that Li Ming was not aiming for the fourth grade when it came to refining the soul concentration. If it was only a fourth-grade pill, there would be no need to engrave any spirit patterns.

Because once spirit patterns were engraved onto the pill, the pill would at least be at the fifth grade!

This was a critical difference.

Very clearly, Li Ming was trying to refine a fifth-grade medicinal pill! He was challenging his own limits. At the same time, he was also making a breakthrough in his pill refinement ability!

Although he had failed several times, Li Ming’s attitude had not changed.

As he began engraving spirit patterns once again, Li Ming was even more focused this time.

Learning from his previous failure, it was clear that he had become much more familiar with the process.

Li Ming already had some ideas on how to better control everything.

With every stroke, Li Ming did not dare to relax in the slightest, because once he made a mistake, it meant that he had to start all over again!

Fortunately, the engraving of the spirit patterns went relatively smoothly this time.

Three hours later, he had finally completed engraving the spirit patterns. The pattern of a golden crow appeared on the medicinal pill. Although it looked small on the medicinal pill and was relatively simple, but this seemingly simple pattern had taken up a lot of Li Ming’s time!

The moment the spirit patterns were carved, the pill was finally completely refined.

The golden crow true fire burst out from the entire furnace and wrapped the pill within.

This was the final step.

As long as the remaining impurities in the pill were eliminated under the heat of the golden crow true fire, and the spirit pattern properly fused with the pill itself, the refinement would be complete!

Boom!

As the golden crow true fire dissipated, the spirit patterns and the medicinal pill completely fused. The fifth-grade medicinal pill appeared before Li Ming’s eyes.

Looking at the fifth-grade medicinal pill, he could see just how vivid the spirit patterns turned out to be. Moreover, the spiritual qi that was being emitted from the pill was incomparably majestic, filling the entire Martial Hall with an extremely powerful medicinal strength!

Just a few sniffs could leave one feeling comfortable, especially in the soul.

The refinement process this time had been especially taxing.

Even Li Ming himself could clearly feel the fatigue in his body and the weakness in his soul.

However, under the auxiliary effects of this medicinal pill, all of these problems were directly alleviated.

“As expected of a fifth-grade pill, this soul concentration pill is really useful!”

“No wonder so many qi cultivators like taking pills.”

Using medicinal pills to cultivate could be said to be a shortcut to cultivation. It merely required one to take a pill to boost one’s cultivation, there was barely any effort to it at all.

That was also likely why although there were not many pill refiners, they were all very popular.

It was because all qi cultivators required the help of medicinal pills during critical moments in their cultivation.

For Li Ming, this was just the beginning.

“A qi cultivator’s body is unable to intake a large amount of pills.”

“It is just that in comparison, you do not have to worry as much about that limit as others do. Anyway, your speed is really not bad. You actually managed to refine a fifth-grade medicinal pill so soon.”

The black stone’s voice rang out, and Li Ming immediately grinned. “Of course.”

“Although refining pills slightly delays my cultivation time, I cannot deny that it is quite interesting..”
