Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 233: Complete Merit, the Elixir that Changes the Situation

call--

The waves of fire rolled and surged, but all the hot air was firmly bound by the formation within three feet around the alchemy furnace, without leaking out at all.

The temperature and power of the flames required to refine third-level spiritual medicines have increased. The underground fire in these red mountains is at most at the second-level.

However, with the help of the formation and using the fire spirit stone as fuel, it can be raised to the third level in a short period of time. In fact, since the power of the flame is entirely supported by the formation, it can be manipulated more freely.

Li Ye sat in front of the alchemy furnace with a serious and focused expression.

His spiritual consciousness was divided and he was multitasking, at the same time adjusting the blending of many spiritual medicines, trying his best to eliminate the conflicts between the medicinal properties and enhance their degree of integration.

The difficulty of refining the Golden Elixir is not high, and it is more about bringing out the characteristics of the elixir itself.

With the experience points he had accumulated from farming, he had successfully improved his attainments in alchemy to the third-level intermediate level. He then combined experiments to further improve the recipe. Although refining this pill was not easy, he was quite confident.

However, after the experiment with the elixir formula, that Qi-transforming root could only barely refine two Golden-transforming elixirs. There was no spiritual essence with suitable attributes to assist in the refining process, so the chances were limited. Once it failed, all the previous efforts would be wasted.

Of course, we can't be careless at all!
As the black and purple slices of the Qi-transforming root were refined and integrated into the medicinal liquid, the medicinal power of the entire elixir gradually became harmonious and integrated in the conflict.

Wisps of smoke gradually emerged from the alchemy furnace, which was the fragrance of the elixir.

But it was completely bound by the refining techniques and the alchemy furnace, and not a single bit of it escaped!
The appearance of such a strange phenomenon is enough to show that the pill has been refined for the most part, and its quality is even quite good.

Li Ye was neither sad nor happy, he just kept his technique steady, purified the medicinal power bit by bit, and condensed the pill.

The forty-nine days passed in a flash.

The medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace has completely turned into a pill, and all the medicinal fragrance has been refined back into the pill again until its medicinal power is full and the temperature is completely right.

Li Ye cast out spells one after another, and the firepower was reduced, the alchemy furnace opened, and a purple-glowing elixir flew out.

After flying around in the air for a circle, Li Ye wrapped it with the green wood spiritual light and held it in his palm.

"Golden Pill..."

Li Ye held the pill wrapped in purple spiritual light with a look of admiration on his face, but did not take it immediately.

He then took a trace of its medicinal power and used various secret methods to test its alchemy.

"The medicinal properties are stable, and the toxicity is low. It can dissolve incomplete solid zhenyuan and return it to liquid mana. The effect on a complete golden elixir is currently unknown. If one's foundation is insufficient, it may cause a certain decline in cultivation, but it is generally within a controllable range... The difference from the original experimental results is very small!"

He muttered to himself, recording the results one by one, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This pill is now ready!"

Li Ye felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

He knew that with the success of this pill, not only would his own path to forming a golden elixir be guaranteed, but if he was willing to spread it out, the possibility and hope of many cultivators who had completed their foundation building would be greatly increased!
After all, with the effect of this pill, he will not die even if he fails to break through. The magic power converted into true energy will always bring him some benefits. When he tries to break through again, the success rate will be much higher!

"This is just like the Foundation Establishment Pill. It can almost change the entire landscape of the cultivation world..."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Even so, this Golden Elixir is something I can only enjoy for the time being. Even if I don't use it to break through the Golden Elixir, I won't rashly share it with others..."

Perhaps changing the world pattern, which is bound to be remembered forever, is quite tempting to others, but for Li Ye it is quite limited.

What if it gets out and the enemy is inexplicably given the golden elixir with this pill? Wouldn’t that be funny?
Thinking this way, Li Ye's emotions quickly calmed down. If he could perfect the Golden Elixir formula and refine it, he might be even more excited, but if he could only refine the Golden Elixir, the little sense of accomplishment he had just felt would have already been vented.

He then carefully put the Golden Elixir into the jade bottle and sealed the medicinal power with layers of talismans, then Li Ye walked out of the alchemy room.

His expression quickly returned to normal, showing no sign that he had just refined a pill that was the dream of many foundation-building cultivators in the world.

………………

The golden elixir was refined, and Li Ye was one step closer to forming the elixir.

The Wu Kingdom is now a ownerless country with a nature similar to the barren mountains, but it is more valuable and can accommodate more monsters and demons, which perfectly meets Li Ye's expectations.

Over the years, the attention of restless monks from various countries has been basically attracted to it, and gradually a balance has been reached in the chaos. Although there are a lot of killings every day, the world has not been turned upside down.

The Barren Mountains, once known as a somewhat chaotic place, have now become a peaceful place.

No monks from any party came here seeking death.

The once turbulent lava underground palace has been brought under considerable control due to Li Ye's formation blocking it and the continuous hunting by many monks.

Although they have not been killed off completely and are still quite active underground, their impact on the order on the ground has been minimized.

These few years of sprinting to complete the foundation-building process can almost be said to be the quietest years Li Ye has lived since he came to the Red Mountains.

In this way, eight years passed.

In the cave, the powerful fluctuations of magic power continued to rise.

The Wood God Technique continued to operate, and a big cycle passed.

In Li Ye's dantian, as a trace of spiritual energy was tempered by the Wood God's True Fire and transformed into pure magic power and merged into the liquid magic power below the cyclone, the 364th drop of liquid magic power condensed.

And once it was formed, it merged into the more than 300 drops of liquid magic power that arranged themselves and vaguely formed a certain formation.

All the liquid mana trembled slightly, and suddenly each of them separated into a strand and moved to the center.

Another drop of liquid magic power appeared, quickly turning from virtual to real, and as the external spiritual power was rapidly absorbed into the body, it was completely condensed in a very short time!
At this point, the three hundred and sixty-five drops of liquid magic power were completely cultivated. Li Ye's body shook, and his aura rose again, revealing a sense of perfection that had reached the peak.

The liquid mana flowed, and was rearranged again during the operation of the technique, clustering together. The feeling of mana solidification was promoted again, and a golden elixir phantom appeared faintly.

This is a change that can only occur when the magic power is solidified to nearly 50% and the skills are practiced to an extremely profound level.

With this strange vision, if Li Ye is willing, he can almost make a breakthrough immediately!

But at this time, Li Ye just practiced the skills steadily, absorbed spiritual energy, and consolidated his foundation.

Until his breathing was completely stable, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm.

"If I had earth spirit roots, I would enter the Jindan stage without hesitation..."

"But I only have a top-grade spiritual root at the moment, so I'm still a bit of a drag!"

"Since there is still preparation to be made, then let's do our best and then form the elixir!"
