Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

Moreover, he also possesses the Elixir Fusion Technique, so he is not afraid of excessive consumption.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, this method of refining elixirs is extremely inefficient.

But what if the pills being refined are meant to enhance one's strength?

It should be noted that many pills that enhance strength can only be taken once in a lifetime.

Now, this method of fusion can double the efficacy of elixirs.

Although you can only take one pill, the increase in cultivation level can be doubled.

This is where the greatest value of this alchemy method lies.

This is also what moves Xiao Yang the most.

The first thing that came to his mind was the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill.

The Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill can enhance a Great Dou Master's cultivation level to three stars.

With the medicine's effects doubled, wouldn't that directly boost one's cultivation level to six stars?

How outrageous are these pills?

If you add two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills, you can take them immediately after breaking through to the Great Dou Master level and be directly promoted to the peak of the Great Dou Master level!

Even for a genius, it takes a long time to go from breaking through to a nine-star Great Dou Master.

And now, is breaking through the barrier the same as reaching the peak?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang couldn't help but sigh again.

The Alchemy Fusion Technique is too abnormal!

However, he likes it!

As expected of the alchemy technique rewarded by the system!

After putting away the Fusion Elixir Technique, Xiao Yang tried to create a quest.

[Task: Refine 4 pills using the Alchemy Fusion Technique. Reward: Alchemy Fusion Technique Proficiency +1, One Hidden Demon Grass.]

After setting up the task, Xiao Yang immediately began to try it out.

He did not immediately attempt to refine a grade three elixir.

He planned to try it on the first-grade pills first.

He casually took out three portions of blood-clotting powder from his storage ring.

These medicinal herbs were all collected by him previously.

Although it's not very useful now, he still keeps it.

We can't waste it.

Anyway, he has many storage rings and a lot of storage space.

As for the medicinal field space, there are no such low-level medicinal herbs left.

At the very least, they are some relatively rare and hard-to-buy mid-level medicinal herbs.

Fortunately, some were left over, which can now be used for experiments.

He took out the alchemy furnace and, without hesitation, threw the three portions of medicinal herbs into it.

Extracting three portions of medicinal herbs together was very easy for him.

He can refine three portions of the ingredients for the first-grade elixir, Blood Clotting Powder, without using his soul fire.

Soon, the medicinal materials were extracted.

The next step is to fuse the elixir.

Xiao Yang also devoted more of his soul power to observing the condition of the medicinal herbs at all times.

Without hesitation, he immediately began the process of fusing the pills.

The fusion of the three medicinal herbs was more difficult than Xiao Yang had imagined.

He had underestimated the difficulty of the alchemy technique.

Even among the same type of medicinal herb, there are subtle differences in their medicinal properties.

Why do pills made from a combination of various medicinal herbs, using the same refining method, produce slightly different effects each time?

This is due to individual differences in medicinal herbs.

These individual differences, when placed within the ingredients of a single elixir, mean that even if some minor aspects are not perfectly integrated, a qualified elixir can still be refined.

To refine elixirs to the perfect quality, one needs to truly understand a elixir recipe.

We need to understand why these medicinal herbs, when combined, can be refined into a pill.

Why are these medicinal materials combined in this order?

This requires the alchemist to have a strong understanding of the medicinal properties of herbs.

In addition, one must be able to sense the differences between each medicinal herb and make slight adjustments to the dosage, extraction method, and flame temperature.

The ingredients for a single pill may vary slightly from one another, yet they can still be refined.

However, if the individual differences among the three medicinal materials are combined, then the problem becomes quite significant.

This is also the most difficult part of the alchemical process.

Not only must the immense medicinal power be suppressed, but the medicinal power of these herbs must also be perfectly integrated.

When three medicinal herbs are combined, the extra medicinal power of one herb may cause the refining process to fail.

This is the problem that Xiao Yang is facing this time.

However, after reflecting on his actions, he quickly adjusted his plan.

He took out several more portions of the coagulation powder.

This time, he did not immediately begin refining it.

He first inspected each medicinal herb, selecting only the qualified ones before starting the extraction process.

Chapter 165 Fourth Rank

He processed all of these medicinal herbs.

Some of them break off a small portion from the fourth medicinal herb to prepare for refining together.

Some reduce the amount of medicinal materials.

He only began refining the medicinal herbs after he had made the calculations.

The medicinal herbs were quickly refined again.

However, Xiao Yang did not immediately fuse the core.

He began to examine the medicinal properties of each herb extract.

After making several adjustments, Xiao Yang finally began to fuse the pill.

Xiao Yang was extremely careful this time.

After a while, the refined medicinal herbs finally blended together.

He has finally succeeded in refining this blood-clotting powder!

Xiao Yang's soul power surged into it.

Sure enough, the medicinal power of this coagulation powder is more than twice that of ordinary high-grade coagulation powder!

His task also shows an increase in progress.

Xiao Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional; it was indeed difficult to improve these secret techniques.

However, to refine a pill using the Fusion Elixir Method, one must at least raise the corresponding proficiency to perfection.

Reaching the pinnacle of pill-making proficiency basically means that you have completely mastered the pill-making method and its principles.

Only in this way is it more likely to succeed.

However, the main reason is that Xiao Yang's current proficiency in the alchemy technique is relatively low.

As his proficiency in the alchemy technique increases, he may be able to forcibly fuse the three ingredients together even for pills he is unfamiliar with.

However, his previous ideas are unlikely to be realized in the short term.

At the Great Dou Master stage, he can only cultivate honestly for now.

Fortunately, his cultivation speed is not slow.

Anyway, there's not much difference.

Two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills plus one Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill are enough to save him the time needed to cultivate to the fifth level.

He only needs to reach the level of a four-star Grand Dou Master to start taking pills.

He estimated that, at his current speed and with his poison reserves, he could reach the level of a four-star Grand Dou Master in about three weeks.

After putting away the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yang began to take out fourth-grade pill formulas and casually created a fourth-grade alchemist quest.

[Task: Become a Rank 4 Alchemist; Reward: Heavenly Profound Cauldron.]

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up with joy as he looked at the mission rewards.

Finally, I got a medicine cauldron as a reward!

The medicine cauldron rewarded by the system must be extraordinary!

He can finally change the medicine cauldron!

Seeing the satisfactory task reward, Xiao Yang was in a good mood.

He began humming a song as he examined the fourth-grade pill formula.

The first things he checked were the pills for healing, detoxification, and recovery.

These are basically the easiest pills to refine among those of the same grade.

Especially elixirs for healing injuries and restoring fighting spirit.
