Chapter 221: Refining the Soul Restoring Pill
Translator: 549690339
“Thank you, Junior Brother.”
Yun Yaoyao wiped her tears away with a silk handkerchief. Her face blushed as she thanked him softly.
This was also the first time she had shed tears after learning about her Nine Yin Absolute Meridians, and it was in front of a man.
Then, he took the jade slip and left the courtyard, handing it to Yun Xiaoling.
Before he left, Li Lingtian even told him that he would purchase the herb himself if he had any information on the herb or if he could not obtain it.
After Yun Xiaoling received the jade scroll, he was stunned when he saw that the herbs inside were all thousand-year-old.
Although he was already mentally prepared that a grade-5 pill required a thousand years of medicinal herbs, Maple Leaf Manor simply could not produce such medicinal herbs at the moment.
There were no spirit stones or medicinal herbs.
A clan could be considered to be at the end of their rope when they reached this stage.
Although the Maple Leaf Manor was a family, most of the people were disciples of the Maple Leaf Manor.
The manor did not have any spirit stones, and the disciples below were also poor.
“Father, Junior Brother Li said that we just need to get the information and whereabouts of the medicinal herbs. He will think of a way.”
Yun Yaoyao felt terrible when she saw her father’s state. Over the past few years, the manor had been in a dire situation in order to find pills for her and remove her Nine Yin Terminal Meridians.
Fortunately, there was Junior Brother Li at this time. Otherwise, there was really no other way.
“Hey.”
Yun Xiaoling only sighed. Li Lingtian had not been in Maple Leaf Villa for long and had given him a lot of trouble. If it were not for Li Lingtian, Maple Leaf Villa would have been finished.
She could only feel guilty and grateful for Li Lingtian’s help in Maple Leaf Villa.
After that, the disciples of Maple Leaf Manor went around asking about the whereabouts of the seven thousand-year-old herbs.
What they didn’t expect was that the seven thousand-year-old herbs were easily obtained, and it was someone else who delivered them to their doorstep.
When the disciples of Maple Leaf Manor were searching for medicinal herbs, the news was leaked. Many martial artists were envious when they learned that Maple Leaf Manor was going to refine a fifth-grade pill.
Maple Leaf Manor concocted Tier 5 pills, which meant that Maple Leaf Manor had a Spirit Alchemist.
The only possibility of being an Alchemist was Li Lingtian. Only his alchemy skills were so powerful.
“Brother Yun, I heard that your excellency Apothecary Ling Tian is going to refine a medicinal pill and is lacking a few medicinal ingredients. I happen to have a Thousand Year Snow Jade Flower here, and since 1 don’t have much use for it, it would be best to give it to you.”
A Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Chen Family smiled as he handed a box containing a thousand-year Snow Jade Flower to Yun Xiaoling.
Yun Xiaoling had seen this expression and smile many times over the past few days.
At first, he was at a loss but he slowly got used to it because all of this was directed at Li Lingtian.
A thousand-year-old medicinal herb was just a stalk of medicinal herb for those who did not need it. However, for those who needed it, it was definitely a timely help.
Such a medicinal herb would only cost 10,000 spirit stones outside.
10,000 Spiritual Stones was a shocking amount of wealth for a low-level martial artist, but it was a piece of cake for a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Moreover, it was worth it to be able to use this medicinal herb to curry favor with a spirit pill master.
Although these people who sent the medicinal herbs were only martial arts masters, they were also instructed by some large families. The large families cared about their reputation and could only let their subordinates suck up to them.
In just a few days, the ingredients for the Soul Restoring Pill had reached two to three cauldrons. Li Lingtian shook his head as he looked at the ingredients.
The medicinal ingredients had all been found, and it was time to refine the pill.
Li Lingtian did not cultivate for the past two days. Instead, he was studying the Tier 5 Spirit Restoring Pill’s recipe. He spent most of his time resting and trying to adjust his mental state to its peak.
His state of mind also slowly calmed down. An alchemist had to be calm at all times.
He was undoubtedly an excellent alchemist. The Ice Soul Martial Soul and the Flaming Sacred Body were the perfect physiques for alchemists.
After resting for three days, Li Lingtian waved his hand continuously and cast a series of Magic Arts. The Divine Array Diagram was also suspended in the courtyard.
In a short ten minutes, formations covered the entire courtyard.
Moreover, there were three Spirit Gathering Arrays floating in the air in a triangular formation. Refining a fifth-grade medicinal pill required a huge amount of spiritual energy. He did not want to have any trouble with the spiritual energy at the last moment of refining the medicinal pill.
“Fire Spiritual Array, activate!”
After doing everything, he cast a small Fire Spirit Array. With the Flaming Sacred Body, he could control everything about the fire element.
The Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron appeared as soon as the Fire Spirit Array appeared. The cauldron slowly spun above the Fire Spirit Array.
Beside him were more than 20 kinds of medicinal herbs. There were medicinal herbs that were 500 years old and 1,000 years old.
“Warming the cauldron.”
A spell was cast, and the temperature of the Fire Spirit Array rose. The Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron also began to rotate rapidly.
Two minutes passed. The temperature of the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron had already reached the level of refining medicine. Warming the cauldron was also a skill.
The temperature of the pill cauldron was directly related to the quality of the pill and the success rate of the pill.
If the temperature was too high, the medicinal herbs would instantly turn into charcoal. If the temperature was too low, the impurities inside the medicinal herbs would not be able to be raised when they were refined.
“Refining medicine.”
After the cauldron was warmed up, a five-hundred-year-old herb entered the cauldron. Li Lingtian’s eyes were fixed on the cauldron as his Divine Perception locked onto it.
This was the first time he was refining a grade-5 medicinal pill. Any change would determine the success or failure of the medicinal pill.
Even if he failed, he would know which part of the process he had made a mistake in. This was the mentality and condition that an alchemist must possess.
The medicinal herbs inside the cauldron melted in the blink of an eye. When the medicinal herbs melted, the second 500-year-old medicinal herb entered the cauldron.
Five hundred years old medicinal herbs were the supplementary ingredients for a grade five pill. The supplementary ingredients were also a key to protecting the main ingredients.
As time passed, Li Lingtian’s Divine Consciousness remained locked in the cauldron as the herbs entered it one by one.
Twenty minutes passed, and the twenty-one medicinal herbs had turned into medicinal liquid. The last stalk of the Thousand Year Snow Jade Flower had yet to be refined.
Li Lingtian’s expression was calm. With a wave of his hand, the Thousand-Year Snow Jade Flower entered the cauldron.
Instantly, the inside of the pill cauldron was turned upside down. The thousand-year-old Snow Jade Flower stirred up waves in the pill cauldron. The originally calm medicinal liquid interacted well with each other.
However, when the thousand-year Snow Jade Flower entered, all the medicinal liquid became unbalanced.
Li Lingtian’s expression changed slightly as if there was a chemical reaction before he sighed.
“Bang!”
As expected, a muffled sound erupted from the cauldron. All the refined medicinal liquid turned into charcoal. The cauldron’s medicinal pill completely failed.
“Shh!”
He put away the cauldron and cleared the pitch-black medicinal liquid inside.
He sat cross-legged and began to recall the situation inside the cauldron.
Failure was the mother of success. Now that he had failed, he had to find the reason for it.
Half an hour later, Li Lingtian opened his eyes again. He cast a spell on the cauldron and the medicinal aura in the cauldron vanished completely.
Then, he began to refine again. He warmed the cauldron and refined the medicine. He continued with his familiar techniques.
“Bang!”
There was another muffled sound. When the thousand-year Snow Jade Flower entered, it exploded again.
Furthermore, Li Lingtian had slightly changed the order of the refinement this time but it was of no use.
“First, refine the thousand-year Snow Jade Flower.”
Li Lingtian rested once again to absorb the experience of his failure. Finally, he came up with a solution, which was to refine the Thousand-Year Snow Jade Flower first.
A solution might not necessarily succeed, but if there was no solution, it was destined to fail.
Alchemy was originally a process of climbing out from countless failures. Otherwise, there would be more alchemists than martial artists in this world.
Nurturing an alchemist was definitely not something that an ordinary clan could do, because alchemists were accumulated through the use of medicinal herbs.
Using a vast amount of medicinal ingredients, he slowly grew up after countless failures as an alchemist.
“Warming the cauldron.”
“Refining medicine.”
“Thousand Year Snow Jade Flower.”
“Eh?”
After a series of practiced techniques, the pill refinement began once again. The Thousand-Year Snow Jade Flower was finally refined. Li Lingtian carefully tossed a five-hundred-year-old herb into the cauldron.
This time, Li Lingtian was delighted. At least the other medicinal liquids in the Thousand-Year Snow Jade Flower did not explode after they entered.
Following that, the twenty medicinal herbs entered the cauldron one after another.
The twenty-two medicinal ingredients were all turned into liquid. At this moment, Li Lingtian waved his hands and the cauldron began to spin rapidly.
The medicinal liquid continued to fuse and slowly solidified due to the temperature.
“Spirit Gathering Array, activate.”
Seeing that the medicinal liquid in the cauldron was almost frozen, Li Lingtian waved his hand and a spell shot out, landing directly on the Spirit Gathering Array.
The three Spirit Gathering Arrays were activated, and a shocking amount of Spirit Qi surged in from all directions.
The spiritual energy within a radius of two hundred miles started to fluctuate and finally flew towards Maple Leaf Manor.
At this moment, the martial artists cultivating in Maple Leaf Manor felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy and were extremely shocked.
All of them watched as the Spirit Qi in the air that was almost tangible surged toward Li Lingtian’s courtyard.
“Don’t cultivate. Don’t activate spiritual energy.”
At that moment, Yun Xiaoling saw the Spirit Qi in the air and naturally understood that Li Lingtian was refining a Grade Five Pill. Moreover, it was at the final juncture.
The last step of a fifth-grade medicinal pill was spirit infusion, infusing spiritual energy into the medicinal pill.
The denser the spiritual energy, the better the quality of the pill. However, there was a limit to the amount of spiritual energy. If there was too much spiritual energy, the pill would explode.
None of the Warriors dared to breathe too loudly, let alone use the slightest bit of Spirit Qi. If Li Lingtian’s pill refinement failed because of Spirit Qi, he would definitely be scolded to death by the others.
The forces and families in the distance also felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy.
” Could it be that Maple Leaf Manor’s Alchemist Ling Tian is refining pills? ”
“This spiritual energy fluctuation, could it be that he is refining a tier 5 medicinal pill?”
” It should be a tier 5 pill. I was looking at the thousand year old herbs I collected a few days ago. It must be a tier 5 pill.”
Some of the Warriors who were closer to Maple Leaf Villa were astonished. They had also guessed that Li Lingtian was refining a Tier 5 Pill.
Meanwhile, Li Lingtian was in the courtyard. His Divine Consciousness was locked onto the Elixir Cauldron as he observed the changes inside.
The medicinal liquid in the pill cauldron gradually solidified, and a huge amount of spiritual energy surrounded the courtyard.
It was at this moment that Li Lingtian’s hands began to move. Finally, he cast a huge spell and an explosion appeared in the air.
“Boom!”
A shocking pillar of light shot into the sky, straight into the endless sky..
