Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 81 Humanity in Crisis, Foundation Establishment Pill Refining!

The report is not complicated; it mainly consists of data calculations.

Currently, the national production of *Hypoxetine decomposition etioides* is approximately 600 plants per month.

This requires hundreds of wood-elemental Qi-refining cultivators to work day and night for a month to accelerate its ripening.

Cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Flower is much more difficult than cultivating the Crimson Blood Flower.

The biggest difficulty is the year it is used in medicine.

Red Blood Flower can be used to make Qi and Blood Pills after three years, while Marrow Cleansing Flower needs to be over ten years old before it can be used as medicine.

This requires more effort to accelerate ripening.

Currently, the instrument-based refining technology for the Marrow Cleansing Pill is quite mature.

Based on a success rate of 68%, approximately 400 Marrow Cleansing Pills can be provided per month.

That's 4,800 per year.

This is just enough for 80 martial artists to achieve the Acquired Immaculate Body within a year.

Wang Lishan explained:

"We intend to include the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the resource provision of the sequence plan."

"It is estimated that the yield of Marrow Cleansing Flower can increase tenfold within a year."

"At that time, we can guarantee that 800 martial artists will achieve the Acquired Immaculate Body every year."

"And this group of martial artists will be the true geniuses and elites of the human race!"

Lin Chen was also amazed by Wang Lishan's boldness after hearing this.

Each year, eight hundred people are born with the "immaculate body" (a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine), which undoubtedly requires a massive amount of resources for cultivation.

With the acquired Immaculate Body, martial arts progress extremely quickly, and Lin Chen estimated that he wouldn't be much slower than himself.

It took him half a year (a year) to go from a martial artist to a grand martial arts master.

Those who possess the Innate Immaculate Body are already geniuses, and it may only take them a year to reach the Martial Master realm.

During this period, nearly sixty Marrow Cleansing Pills, twelve Qi and Blood Pills, and hundreds of bottles of high-grade nutrient solution are needed.

And this is only a small part of the resource expenditure.

After advancing to the Martial Master level, they need enough demon beast flesh and blood to ensure their rapid cultivation.

Assuming each martial artist consumes one jin (500 grams) per year, eight hundred martial artists would require eight hundred jin of third-tier demon beast flesh and blood.

After paying such a huge price, what we will gain a year later is a group of strongmen who are close to military generals.

In essence, the Great Xia Dynasty acquired a method for quickly becoming a powerful being.

In three years, a group of martial arts generals-level experts were cultivated!

The generals are already the backbone of the martial realm and the main force in dealing with monsters.

"So, the situation has become that critical?"

Lin Chen suddenly asked a question.

"What kind of emergency?"

Wang Lishan was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Lin Chen's serious expression, he could only smile wryly:

"Yes, we've suffered heavy losses in the Martial Realm during this period."

"The loss of equipment and weapons is secondary... more important is the continuous deaths of senior and mid-level forces."

"Three thousand!"

Wang Lishan suddenly said a number.

"Three thousand military generals—that's the number of people who sacrificed themselves in the Martial Realm last year for the entire Blue Star Human Alliance..."

"And in the entire Earth, only three thousand military generals have been born in the past ten years."

"As for the casualties among those below the rank of military commander, they number in the millions..."

"At this rate, perhaps in a few decades, humanity will completely lose control of the Martial Realm... and be left only to defend its home planet!"

As he said this, Wang Lishan's eyes became bloodshot.

"The real catastrophe for humanity will only begin then..."

Lin Chen fell silent after hearing this.

Over the past six months, Wang Lishan has not directly told him how difficult the human race's current situation is.

However, Lin Chen was able to roughly deduce the truth from a few words.

The Martial Realm is the most crucial defensive line that isolates humans from direct clashes with demonic beasts.

Most of the human race's powerful warriors are in the Martial Realm, fighting against demonic beasts to prevent them from directly invading Blue Star.

Once the Martial Realm is completely devoured, the demonic beasts can directly reach the Blue Star's home planet.

The losses that will result will be terrifying.

Weak ordinary people, even those below the martial arts master level, have no power to resist in front of demonic beasts.

Just imagine, a third-tier demonic beast that breaks through the martial realm barrier is enough to slaughter more than 100,000 ordinary people in a single day.

If a demon king were to descend upon Earth...

That might be a human city, where tens of millions of lives would be lost...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

When the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?

"Xiao Chen, don't put too much pressure on yourself... Even if the sky falls, we'll hold it up!"

"You've done very well... Without you, we might not even have any hope of fighting against the monsters."

Wang Lishan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

Lin Chen nodded silently after hearing this.

……

Several hours later, in the alchemy room.

Lin Chen took out dozens of medicinal materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills and prepared to refine the pills.

"I have the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and I've seen the refining process before. But now that I'm trying to refine it myself, I'm still a little unsure..."

"Fortunately, I have thirty sets of medicinal herbs for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, which is equivalent to thirty chances!"

Lin Chen's bottom line is to refine ten Foundation Establishment Pills.

With this, plus the seven he already possessed, he was confident of achieving perfect foundation building.

As for why he didn't let Han Jihai help him refine pills, it was naturally because... the source of the Foundation Establishment Pill's ingredients was unclear.

"How did you refine it before, Master?"

Lin Chen took out a video recording and started virtual screen mirroring.

This is a scene that Lin Chen recorded before, showing Han Jihai refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He watched the video dozens of times and recalled the details of Han Jihai's alchemy at that time.

After making sure I hadn't missed anything, I began my first attempt.

"To refine pills, the furnace temperature must be maintained at around 800 degrees Celsius..."

"At this stage, the medicinal materials are condensed into a liquid."

Lin Chen flicked his finger, and a Heavenly Spirit Fruit, a Illusion Heart Grass, and two auxiliary herbs were simultaneously placed into the alchemy furnace.

After that, the furnace was kept at a constant temperature of 800 degrees Celsius.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen spoke again:

"The second stage involves using intense heat to refine the medicinal liquid..."

"Temperature control, perhaps between 3,000 and 3,500 degrees Celsius..."

Lin Chen roughly guessed that he had not yet obtained the accurate temperature for refining pills.

Another half hour passed.

boom!

As expected, the first attempt at alchemy failed when the furnace made an unusual noise.

"The temperature and timing were wrong..."

Lin Chen retrieved the temperature data from inside the alchemy furnace.

The footage shows that when the temperature reaches 3,400 degrees Celsius, the liquid has already evaporated, and the purification effect is completely lost.

"Therefore, in the second phase, the maximum temperature should be kept below 3,400 degrees Celsius."

Lin Chen summarized his experience and began his second attempt.

The process of dissolving the medicinal herbs into a medicinal liquid went very smoothly.

However, Lin Chen was careful during the purification of the medicinal liquid.

Through the miniature camera on the wall of the alchemy furnace, Lin Chen was able to clearly observe the changes in the medicinal liquid.

After several attempts, Lin Chen roughly came to a conclusion.

"The optimal temperature for drug purification is between 3381 and 3389 degrees Celsius."

"Above this temperature, the medicinal liquid will evaporate; below this temperature... the purification effect of the medicinal liquid cannot be optimal!"

Lin Chen wrote them down one by one.

If he successfully obtains a set of data on refining Foundation Establishment Pills, he might be able to mass-produce high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills.

Next comes the third stage of Foundation Establishment Pill refining—

Condensed liquid transforms into elixir!
