Chapter 167: Chapter 144: Making Stay Age Pill_1
Translator: 549690339 |
A few days later, Xu Mu and Mo Wuxin traveled together on a flying artifact, reaching the island where the Palace of Pure Heart was located.
Mo Wuxin gave him the medicinal herbs he had bought and gave him the best alchemy room in the Palace of Pure Heart.
“You must refine all the pills within half a year, and I’ll get the first batch in ten days!” Mo Wuxin ordered before leaving.
“Don’t worry, brother!”
Xu Mu naturally assured confidently.
His Stay Age Pill refinement technique has long reached the level of the Grandmaster Realm, and now his cultivation has reached the late Foundation Establishment Stage; refining cannot be simpler.
Originally, it took three to four days to refine a furnace, but now he only needs one day.
Because Xu Mu hides his cultivation level, Mo Wuxin does not know that he has reached the Perfection of Foundation Establishment. He thinks Xu Mu is still in the middle Foundation Establishment Stage, so he gave him plenty of time.
Although Mo Wuxin is a genius in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xu Mu is also not inferior. If he wants to hide, it would be hard for Mo Wuxin to find out.
But it might be hard to hide from Nangong Suyi.
Therefore, Xu Mu does not plan to meet the latter. After refining the pill, he will leave.
As for helping Mo Wuxin breakthrough with the Yin and Yang Harmony Secret Skill, there’s no rush to do it at once.
He first needs to understand what Mo Wuxin is thinking.
If he recklessly brings up the matter and Mo Wuxin is obstinate about it, it might backfire.
The reason he has this idea is because Mo Wuxin is a decent person. Xu Mu has known him for many years and knows that Mo Wuxin is not a traitor. As long as Xu Mu helps him, he would certainly repay the favor.
Second, Xu Mu feels that he can achieve new accomplishments from Mo Wuxin.
Such as facing greater challenges and dilemmas…
Moreover, in the process of dual cultivation, he will also gain a lot of benefits. It’s very likely that he will get the opportunity to break directly into the Golden Pill Realm.
Third, he does not want to lose his identity as a disciple of the Palace of Pure Heart for the time being.
In addition to the most basic rights, this identity brings a lot of benefits.
If Nangong Suyi dies, and Mo Wuxin cannot advance to the Golden Pill stage to inherit the Palace of Pure Heart, then he will have to change his allegiance.
Not everyone is as easy to deal with as Nangong Suyi.
Because of the impending crisis, Nangong Suyi basically leaves him alone.
He will not take advantage of Xu Mu, nor will he try to control him and squeeze benefits from him.
In other words, it is really comfortable to be a nominal disciple of the Palace of Pure Heart. If possible, he would prefer not to change.
Lastly, and most importantly—
He could prevent this old kid from lusting after Su Luan!
If you lust after my woman, then I might as well turn you into my woman!
Cough,cough!
That sounded a bit perverse!
Anyway, the reasons are quite sufficient.
But given his cautious nature, without ninety percent certainty, he wouldn’t act rashly.
After Mo Wuxin left, Xu Mu turned around to examine the alchemy room before him.
This alchemy room was completely independent, built with special spiritual materials. It was over fifty square meters and located in the back mountain of the Palace of Pure Heart. It was surrounded by dense woods, filled with rich spiritual energy. Not far away, one could see the light curtain formed after the formation was activated.
Pushing open the heavy stone door and entering the room, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge pill furnace. The furnace was made of solar alloy, its surface carved with various runes and incantations, exuding a mysterious aura. “A tier seven pill furnace!! The depth of the Palace of Pure Heart’s background really is underestimated! As expected of a force with a Gold Core cultivator in charge!”
As an alchemist, upon seeing such a good furnace, Xu Mu couldn’t help but let his eyes shine.
Next to the pill furnace was an earth fire, its flames raging, emitting a red light that illuminated the entire room. Below the earth fire were some stone stools for alchemists to sit on while refining pills. The stools were covered with thick purple grass mats, making them very comfortable and warm.
The walls of the room were lined with various medicinal herbs and alchemy materials, some ordinary plants seemed to be for decoration, while others were rare spiritual herbs. There were herbs of tier four and five, and each one was a treasure for alchemists. In one corner of the room, there was a small medicine bag filled with pills of various colors, emitting a faint fragrance that could refresh one’s mind.
The center of the room had a large stone platform with various alchemy tools, such as pestle and mortar, alchemy bottles, and drying racks. These tools were made of superior materials and were treasures for alchemists.
Unfortunately, most of these things were not needed for Xu Mu.
Because when he refines pills, he usually uses semi-finished products, so there’s no need to dry to settle the medicinal properties, nor to conduct preliminary processing.
Besides, the concentration of spiritual energy in the room far exceeded the outside world.
After taking a deep breath, Xu Mu felt the spiritual power within his body stirring.
The fact that such an occurrence could happen at his level reflected the high concentration of spiritual energy inside the room.
“This room must be directly connected to the mid-sized spirit vein of the Palace of Pure Heart. This explains the dense concentration of nature’s spiritual energy!”
Just this mid-sized spirit vein alone is an invaluable treasure. Without Nangong Suyi holding down the fort, the Palace of Pure Heart would not be able to protect it.
Xu Mu suspected that many in the Four Seas Immortal Palace would be eyeing this lucrative opportunity.
Once Nangong Suyi died, a fierce battle would be inevitable.
“It’s a pity that I didn’t bring my tools, otherwise my cultivation progress would certainly be swift here!”
Having tools around is a sensitive matter, to prevent them from being discovered, he had left them back at his home, under heavy protective spells.
After checking the room with scrutiny and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Xu Mu prepared to make the pills.
He first opened his palm and gently blew, countless sparks flew out, igniting all the oil lamps and illuminating the entire stone chamber.
Then, he walked over to the stone platform at one side, squeezed a black stone and threw it into the earth fire pit.
The earth fire, which was burning fiercely, spewed out like it had been stimulated.
Xu Mu formed a spell with his hands swiftly, activated the Earth Fire Great Array in the room, controlled the spewing flames, and adjusted to the temperature he needed.
According to an alchemist’s cultivation level, realm, and techniques, the temperature of the flames they could control varies.
With Xu Mu’s cultivation and Fire-controlling Skill realm, ordinary earth fire could not meet his temperature requirements. Hence, he threw in an earth fire crystal to draw out the internal earth fire.
This would significantly speed up his pill making process.
After adjusting the temperature, Xu Mu moved the pill furnace over and began to put in the medicinal materials.
Initially, Xu Mu hadn’t anticipated that the opponent would have a tier-seven pill furnace, he had planned to make them one batch at a time, but since there was a tier seven pill furnace, he planned to handle it all at once.
The medicinal potency that a tier seven pill furnace could handle was much more than the tier four furnace he had, he could make hundreds of doses at once without any problem.
With his cultivation and pill-making skills, he could totally control it without worrying about failure.
However, to avoid producing non-premium pills, Xu Mu upgraded the pill-making technique of the Stay Age Pill to the transcendent level while the pill furnace was preheating.
This way, it was foolproof.
After making sure everything was ready, he took out some precious herbs, put them in the furnace, gently stirred, herbs became soft and emitted a faint aroma.
Because a large amount of medicine had to be refined, his technique had to change, he had to do it himself.
When the aroma became strong, Xu Mu took out a jade bottle, poured the spiritual liquid inside the furnace, herbs gradually became moist and emitted a stronger aroma.
Next, he put various precious spirit crystals into the furnace, crystals gradually became very hot and emitted a pungent smell.
The materials needed to make the pills were not all medicinal materials, about thirty percent were various spiritual objects, animal bones, or ores, etc.
Crackling, crackling sounds were heard.
Xu Mu condensed the spirit seal, controlled the formation of the pill furnace, and gently stirred.
Inside the furnace, spiritual medicine, spiritual liquid, and spirit crystals gradually merged together, giving off a mystical atmosphere. He took out a pearl from a hundred-year-old river mussel, put it inside the furnace, the pearl gradually became transparent, emitting a rainbow light.
Time passed gradually, medicinal materials and spiritual objects were constantly being added to it, after a full seven days, everything gradually fused together, giving off a mysterious atmosphere.
As the condensing pill spell was casted, all the medical liquid gradually condensed into pill medicine the size of a longan fruit.
“I didn’t expect to succeed in batch manufacturing the first time, it’s pretty good!”
He took out several jade bottles and put the shining pills in each.
Looking at his works, Xu Mu revealed a satisfied smile.
“Mo Wuxin probably never dreamed that the pills that originally needed half a year to make would be prepared by me in just a few days.”
Though the pill was completed, Xu Mu was not foolish to give it all at once.
Instead, he decided to follow the rhythm of the other party and delay the process to half a year.
Xu Mu took out the Split Earth Whale’s essence he had acquired from the secret realm to extract its bloodline and take this opportunity to integrate it into his own.
“The Split Earth Whale is known as the first monster of the deep sea, I wonder what divine skills it will bestow upon me?”
