Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 79 Qiankun Creation Pill

The furnace was forged from purple-gold wrought iron, and its entire body had a dark purple-gold sheen.

Among metals, Zijin Bintium is second only to silver mother-of-pearl sunken from the deep sea for 100,000 years, making it a rare and precious material.

A high-quality alchemy furnace is of great help in alchemy, enabling things like controlling the heat and concentrating the medicinal power...

One by one, Beibei presented the various raw materials needed, as well as the refining method of the Qiankun Creation Pill, to Elder Lin.

"I'll have to entrust the refining of the Qiankun Creation Pill to you."

"The fragrance of the medicine when the pill is formed might help you advance your cultivation to another level."

Haha~

"I won't bother you any longer."

However, just as he stepped back to the door, Old Lin grabbed the back of his collar.

Turning around, all she saw was an old lady's face, kind and gentle, but Beibei still had a bad feeling about it.

"Little baby, since you obtained these magical herbs, you must know their uses, value, and methods of use better than I do."

"Refining a top-tier elixir like the Qiankun Creation Pill is not something that can be accomplished in a day; it also requires the assistance of a deputy."

"Having been away from Shrek Academy for half a year, there must be many vacancies in the inner courtyard's missions, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll only hold you accountable for half a day's work; it won't interfere with your cultivation."

Beibei: "..."

The other students' inner-court tasks were either to go outdoors and wreak havoc or to intern at high-end "companies" in various countries.

How come he became the medicine boy when it was his turn?

He also wanted to try what it would feel like to ride the king to work.

But with fate choked by the back of her neck, Beibei had no choice but to accept it, and the alchemy mission began from that moment.

Thus, under Mr. Lin's guidance, Beibei was able to establish a regular lifestyle, a rare occurrence for her.

For several months, it would be difficult to go out and have fun freely; at least, that's what Mr. Lin thought.

Over the next few days, Bei Bei and Elder Lin immersed themselves in experimenting with alchemy.

After all, the raw materials brought back from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are extremely precious and cannot be wasted.

Therefore, the two of them also used common precious materials with similar medicinal properties to refine pills.

For Beibei, an assistant, her familiarity with the purple-gold bronze furnace itself was more about being familiar with the refining method than with the refining process.

As time passed, Bei Bei frequently went in and out of the alchemy room on the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, and the fragrance of medicine would often drift through the air, reaching over a hundred feet away.

Under Elder Lin's strict requirements, he used ordinary but medicinal materials to refine his skills for a month and a half.

Before starting the alchemy process for this batch of Qiankun Creation Pills, Elder Lin specifically consulted the Douluo Calendar and chose an auspicious day suitable for both family and alchemy.

At the beginning of the refining of the Qiankun Creation Pill, Elder Lin was extremely cautious as he put one precious material after another into the Purple Gold Pill Furnace, but as time went on, the speed at which he put them in increased.

Beibei carefully controlled the heat, adjusting it at one setting when adding the precious materials and at another during the downtime.

Even the most subtle controls require a tremendous amount of mental energy.

As the assistant, Beibei was only responsible for one-quarter of the refining process, while the remaining three-quarters were completed by Elder Lin.

On the very first day, a rich medicinal aroma filled the air, and just smelling it was refreshing and invigorating.

However, apart from Beibei and Elder Lin absorbing a small amount of the strong medicinal fragrance, the rest did not escape from the alchemy room on the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

On the ceiling of the alchemy room, there is an eighth-order Qi-gathering soul guide device. The external filter holes absorb and gather Qi, and the inner water ensures that the medicinal fragrance overflowing during the refining of the Qiankun Creation Pill can be perfectly collected and not wasted.

During this period, Beibei used almost all the rare and precious materials she brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He refined the medicine more than twenty times, constantly adjusting and refining it according to the different medicinal properties of the rare and precious herbs, extracting their essence and discarding their dross.

This one step alone took more than a month.

After all the debugging steps are completed, the refined essence is then mixed together and used to refine the final elixir.

In the final stage of alchemy, the entire furnace turns golden-red, and air rushes out from the three exhaust vents at the top of the furnace.

The aroma of herbs permeated the entire room, so strong that even the eighth-order Qi-gathering soul guide device installed on the ceiling couldn't balance the concentration of the aroma in the alchemy room.

At this moment, only Elder Lin was in the alchemy room. She took a deep breath of the medicinal aroma, and her exhaled breath even carried a rosy glow.

The fragrance of the medicine seeped into her body through her pores, creating a wonderful, ethereal feeling that made her feel completely refreshed.

"Unexpectedly, the bottleneck that I haven't been able to break through for many years is showing signs of loosening today."

"The Qiankun Creation Pill truly lives up to its name; it indeed possesses the power to create the universe!"

Today marks the forty-ninth day of refining the Qiankun Creation Pill. The number seventy-nine is the ultimate number, which is also the number of days until the pill condenses.

The so-called "condensing pill" refers to further compressing all the essence within the alchemy furnace to form the final concentrated elixir.

This step is less complicated than before, but it is the most energy-consuming.

Using the worst refining method, the pills could have been produced more than ten days ago.

However, as a ninth-ring title holder who had been immersed in alchemy techniques for many years, Elder Lin chose the most advanced refining method, completing the pill in forty-nine days.

But gradually, Elder Lin discovered that the refining process seemed to be getting beyond his control.

The difficulty of the forty-nine-day refining process was ultimately beyond her expectations.

As time went by, the essence of the rare and precious materials was fully unleashed, and the energy that erupted from their violent collisions grew increasingly intense.

Even the purple-gold bronze incense burner was dented and bruised by the surges of violent energy.

Seeing this, Elder Lin had no choice but to go all out, increasing his soul power in the hope of forcibly condensing the core with his own formidable strength.

Even if the precious purple-gold bronze incense burner is destroyed, it doesn't matter.

What was Beibei doing at this moment?

A slightly plump young man had his arm around Beibei's shoulder, and they were chatting happily.

"Beibei, you've been far too busy these past few years. We often don't see you for a month or two."

I glanced at him sideways and saw that it was my old classmate Qian Qian, who was also a student who had just barely made it into the inner academy last year.

Originally, with Qian Qian's talent, it would have been very difficult for him to enter the inner academy.

But at the last hurdle, he went to Bei Bei for a meal for a while, and his cultivation level just broke through the limit. He also completed the assessment, so he managed to enter the inner academy right at the graduation time.

Beibei didn't answer his question, but Qian Qian didn't dwell on it and quickly started a new topic:

"Let me tell you!"

"You absolutely must check out this year's freshman assessment; there are a lot of promising new students."

"Based on my observation using the Martial Soul Appraisal Coins, there are quite a few among them with thick and tall pillars of fortune."
