You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"May Buddha bless me, this alchemy must succeed." Chen Huai'an took a deep breath, adjusting his state to its peak.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Chen Huai'an's batch of pills failed again.

Chen Huai'an brushed the dregs off his body, then focused his mind and began to recall the entire process of refining the pills.

Chen Huai'an failed this time, but he has improved compared to last time.

Last time, the furnace exploded while he was fusing the medicinal liquid, but this time he has made great progress and the furnace exploded while he was fusing the medicinal liquid to form the pill.

"This failure was due to nervousness and distraction during the pill-making process." Through reflection, Chen Huai'an realized that this failure was also because his state of mind fluctuated drastically when he reached the crucial first step in refining the pill for the first time. Otherwise, he would never have made such a basic mistake.

Before taking action, he had imagined countless scenarios of the pill's formation. However, he hadn't anticipated that during the process, a mishap could occur due to a lapse in the control of the fire, or spiritual energy.

This was something Chen Huai'an hadn't anticipated, but it was also a good thing. It forced him to concentrate and focus, because only in this way could he succeed in forming the pill, rather than fail.

Purifying the medicinal liquid is a crucial step. Next, the heat is controlled and fused to form the pills, which is also a very important task.

In this process, Chen Huai'an cannot skip this step; he must be fully focused in order to achieve the required success rate.

Now Chen Huai understands that if he wants to refine pills in the future, he can't just rely on theory, but also on practice. Only by refining more pills can he discover his shortcomings.

Alchemy is truly an extremely expensive industry, and it's not about how high your talent is to have a high potential.

The process of alchemy is ever-changing, and only through numerous failures can one gain experience.

Because failure is the mother of success, only by experiencing failure and encountering such unexpected situations can you have corresponding solutions. Otherwise, if you have not dealt with such unexpected situations, you will fail to refine pills the next time you are not careful.

There are absolutely no shortcuts when it comes to alchemy.

Originally, Chen Huai'an wanted to save on the steps of alchemy by conducting a virtual alchemy process during the refining process. That way, even if it failed, there would be no loss. Now it seems that what he did was simply wishful thinking.

Since there are no shortcuts, we must find the truth through practice.

"Failure!" Chen Huai'an composed himself and continued refining pills, but after a meal's time, Chen Huai'an ultimately failed again.

Chen Huai'an attempted to refine 10 batches of pills, but all of them ended in failure.

But his understanding of alchemy was deeper than before.

The Five Elements Alchemy Technique taught him how to refine pills, but there was no experience passed down to him. Chen Huai'an had to figure it out on his own, without any guidance from anyone.

From the beginning of his alchemy practice until now, he has relied entirely on his own exploration, so it is perfectly reasonable that he has failed in his attempts. Even those true alchemy geniuses could not succeed on their first attempt.

With each failed attempt at alchemy, Chen Huai'an gained new insights into the art.

There really aren't any special skills involved in alchemy; it's all about practice.

Chen Huai'an refined pills, but he didn't refine the high-value ones. Although refining high-value pills would recoup his previous losses if successful, it also carried great risks.

Let's start by refining these lowest-level basic pills. This way, the cost is low, and we can practice using any kind of pill.

Being in an underground mine, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely rich, and the spiritual herbs in his medicinal field grew very quickly. He refined pills every day, and as long as he took some time to tend to the medicinal field, he could basically maintain his pill-refining needs.

Chen Huai'an couldn't work non-stop for 12 hours straight; his mental energy was exhausted and he needed time to recover.

On the second day, Chen Huai'an continued refining pills.

"Success! I actually refined a batch of low-grade Body Refining Pills. Refining pills is truly not something a human can do." Chen Huai'an refined 30 batches of Body Refining Pills before he successfully refined one batch, and this time only three pills were successfully made, and they were all low-grade.

If the success rate of pill refining is this low, Chen Huai'an will not only fail to make money, but will practically lose money hand over fist.

The materials he wasted were enough to buy dozens of Body Refining Pills, and he only managed to refine three. But the sense of accomplishment he felt was indescribable.

Once he succeeds in refining it once, he can make adjustments based on the situation in the future, and he will refine even more pills in the future.

"Originally, this batch of pills could have yielded 10 pills, but a problem occurred during the pill-dividing and refining process. In the end, only three pills were successfully refined, and the other seven were unusable pills." Chen Huai'an analyzed the results of this refining process and found that he had taken another step closer to success.

Now that Chen Huai'an has successfully refined the pill, he still needs to consider how to separate and pull the pill in the final step of refining it.

If we could produce 10 Body Refining Pills, we could maximize our profits.

Chen Huai'an regained his energy and began refining pills again.

Previously, he had refined 30 batches before finally succeeding in one, achieving a success rate of 30:1. However, in the subsequent refining processes, although Chen Huai'an also failed, his success rate changed from 30 to 20:1.

If the refining speed continues at this rate, Chen Huai'an estimates that he can succeed in refining one batch out of ten, bringing him one step closer to breaking even and earning spirit stones.

As long as Chen Huai'an successfully refines one out of five batches, he will be able to earn spirit stones.

Now Chen Huai'an is much closer to that step.

"What should I do? I've used up all the alchemy materials. It seems I need to find a way to get some more low-grade spirit herb seeds." Just as Chen Huai'an was preparing to refine several batches of Body Refining Pills in one go, he discovered a problem: he had exhausted all the materials in his space for refining Body Refining Pills and needed to find a way to replenish them from the outside by purchasing some more spirit herb seeds.

Even if that doesn't work, he can buy some medicinal herbs on the market and then refine them.

In this space, his success rate in refining Body Refining Pills has increased significantly. As long as it reaches 5 to 1, he can earn spirit stones by refining Body Refining Pills in the future, unlike now when he loses money to gain popularity.

As he refines more and more pills, his success rate will increase, and everything will develop in a positive direction.

"It's been more than 20 days since we entered this underground mine. It's time to go out and take a look." If it weren't for the fact that all the materials for refining body-refining pills in his space had been used up, Chen Huai'an wouldn't want to go out.

Chen Huai'an now has two tasks: one is to hand over spirit stones, and the other is to try to get some medicinal herb seeds in this mine.
