Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 622 Research on Alchemy

Inside the secluded chamber, the grayish-black slag at the bottom of the alchemy furnace had been cleaned up.

Li Yuan poured the waste into the stone trough next to him, and his consciousness sank back into his sea of ​​consciousness, going through the entire process of the first failed furnace again.

Li Yuan withdrew his divine sense and did not take out a second portion of the Nascent Soul Golden Stamen Grass.

Taking action now would only repeat the failure.

The alchemy furnace was set up again.

This time, the furnace was filled with auxiliary materials for the Qingyuan Pill. A third-tier pill was no challenge for Li Yuan.

However, the way the auxiliary materials are combined has changed.

He deliberately selected three batches of auxiliary materials of different qualities for mixed use. One batch was premium-grade spiritual materials, another batch was ordinary mid-grade spiritual materials, and the third batch was low-quality spiritual materials, close to the upper limit of low-grade.

The drug release rates of the three batches of excipients naturally differ. Mixing them together will cause parallel conflicts.

This is precisely the situation that one inevitably faces when refining pills at the fourth level, only the intensity is several orders of magnitude lower.

Start the furnace.

Auxiliary materials were added one by one.

The medicinal reaction unfolds inside the alchemy furnace, with the three types of auxiliary materials releasing their medicinal power at different rates, overlapping with each other.

Li Yuan separated twelve lines of divine sense to maintain basic temperature control of the pill fire and guide the medicinal properties, while the remaining twelve lines of divine sense were used specifically to observe the interference patterns between the medicinal forces.

Observation, not regulation.

The first batch of Qingyuan Pills yielded two pills, but their quality was only medium. This was because half of the attention was spent observing rather than controlling them.

The second batch of Peiyuan Gumu Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine formula) showed a further increase in the quality differences of the auxiliary materials.

The third batch: the Pulse-Protecting and Spirit-Warming Pill.

The fourth furnace, the fifth furnace.

After five furnace cycles, Li Yuan extinguished the alchemical fire.

He turned to cultivation.

The Qingyuan Ningshi entry has previously assisted in completing two full cultivation cycles of the Ninghun Yushi technique, achieving a permanent progress of 2.

/3.

If you complete it one more time, the conditions for permanentization will be met.

Li Yuan sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Soul Condensation and Consciousness Control Technique.

Twenty-four lines of divine consciousness surged out from the nascent soul, operating synchronously within the sea of ​​consciousness according to the trajectory required by the cultivation method.

The effect of suppressing distracting thoughts by purifying the mind makes the sea of ​​consciousness as clear as a mirror, and the improved node coordination efficiency of the array symbols and the fusion of the words allows the synchronization of multiple lines to reach an extremely high level.

The third complete cycle was smoother than the first two.

The cycle continued for a full day.

The moment the last line of divine consciousness returned to its place, the Moon Dew in the equipment slot changed.

The milky white liquid in the bottle dissipated.

The screen filled with images.

A clear sea of ​​consciousness unfolded in his vision. Its surface was like a still lake, without a ripple. The low-frequency distracting thoughts that had once surged within were permanently suppressed by a transparent membrane, no longer capable of rising. Above this membrane, the space of consciousness was spotless, and the resistance to the movement of divine sense within it was reduced to almost zero.

The image disappeared.

[Qingyuan Ningshi] Permanentization completed.

Spiritual clarity is permanently increased by 50%. Distractions during the cultivation of spiritual techniques are permanently reduced by 50%.

Li Yuan attempted to control different targets simultaneously using twenty-four lines of divine consciousness.

Divine consciousness surged forth from the sea of ​​consciousness, splitting into twenty-four streams, each touching different objects within the secluded cultivation room.

The synchronization deviation has dropped to a level that has never been reached before.

The response speeds of the twenty-four lines are almost identical, with time differences so small as to be negligible. This means that during the alchemy process, there will be no more attention drift caused by distracting thoughts between the monitoring lines assigned to different auxiliary materials.

The alchemy continued.

The alchemy furnace was set up again.

This time, Li Yuan's goal was clear: not to refine pills, but to repeatedly simulate the parallel conflicts of multiple medicinal properties in the low-risk environment of third-order pills, honing his ability to capture the changing trends of medicinal properties through intensive repetitive operations.

Sixth furnace. The quality difference of auxiliary materials is maintained at three levels; observation is the primary approach, with adjustments as a secondary measure.

The interference pattern of drug property fluctuations became increasingly clear through repeated observations.

The seventh furnace. The eighth furnace. The ninth furnace.

The timing of advance adjustments is becoming increasingly precise, evolving from reacting after the signs appear to acting simultaneously with the signs, and then to taking action before the signs have fully formed.

It's neither a post-event correction nor a mid-event response.

It is a prediction beforehand.

In Li Yuan's perception, the changing trend of the drug's properties changed from a vague pattern to a clear inevitability.

Once the preconditions are met, the direction of subsequent changes is determined. There's no need to wait for the result to appear before taking remedial action; simply seeing the preconditions is enough to know what to do next.

The tenth furnace.

Qingyuan Dan. The quality differences of auxiliary materials remain at three levels.

The moment the furnace was opened, Li Yuan's operating method was fundamentally different from the previous nine furnaces.

It's no longer about planning first, then observing, and then adjusting.

Instead, from the moment the first auxiliary ingredient is added, the changes in the medicinal properties within the entire alchemy furnace unfold in real time as a dynamic trend chart within the mind's sea.

The release rate of each excipient, the interference points between them, and the location and intensity of the upcoming superposition peak were all perceived by Li Yuan before the actual change in drug properties even occurred.

The allocation of the twenty-four spiritual lines is no longer a pre-determined static plan.

Instead, it automatically adjusts according to the real-time changes in the trend chart. Where a deviation is about to occur, the divine sense line is already in place two to three breaths before the deviation happens.

Extracting the elixir.

Three pieces. All are of excellent quality.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the spiritual energy circulation of alchemy underwent a complete reconstruction.

The path in the final stage is like a static planning map, where the positions and connections of all nodes are fixed.

This image has now come to life.

The connections between nodes become dynamic and can be reorganized in real time according to actual conditions. This is no longer a fixed control strategy, but a living response system.

Third-order alchemy technique, perfected.

The essential change in the perfect stage is that the understanding of changes in the properties of medicine leaps from recognizing patterns to predicting trends.

At this stage, pills below the fourth rank no longer present any difficulty in handling, and the rate of producing high-quality pills can be consistently maintained at an extremely high level.

For fourth-tier pills, mastering third-tier alchemy techniques plus one's Nascent Soul cultivation doesn't guarantee the ability to consistently refine fourth-tier pills, but it does signify having a basic level of practical skills. The core abilities missing during the first failed attempt, and the ability to anticipate conflicts arising from the simultaneous application of multiple medicinal properties, are now acquired.

Li Yuan put away the elixir fire.

Three exquisite Qingyuan Pills on the stone platform emitted a warm, spiritual light.

He did not rush to take out the second portion of the Golden Stamen Grass.

Having just broken through to perfection, it needs time for the new pathways to fully stabilize. During this period, continue to use third-tier pills to solidify the feel. Once the state of perfection is completely internalized as an instinctive reaction, then start using the second batch of fourth-tier pills.

The secluded room fell silent.

The nascent soul's spiritual energy flows along the path of the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Method, with the 80% acceleration effect of the permanent Nascent Soul Nourishing Origin entry permeating every cycle. After the Pure Origin Condensing Consciousness is permanently established, the clarity of the sea of ​​consciousness during the circulation of spiritual energy is visibly enhanced, and the feedback at each node in the cultivation path is sharper and clearer than before.
