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

A yellow flame rose from within it.

He did not fuse with the third-tier beast fire he had previously obtained.

If he were to merge now, his fire control skills might decline.

Anyway, I now have enough of my own flames to refine Fighter Pills.

He can wait until he is ready to refine pills beyond his level before fusing with beast fire.

Feeling the temperature inside the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly put the first-order water attribute magic core into it.

His expression was somewhat grave.

The energy inside the demon core is extremely violent.

Only magical beasts can directly absorb the energy from the magic core.

If humans directly absorb the energy within the demon core, their meridians will be damaged, and they may even explode and die.

Therefore, if humans want to utilize the magic core, they need alchemists to refine it into elixirs.

Previously, Xiao Yang had refined relatively simple pills that did not use magic cores.

However, because he is now highly skilled in controlling fire, and also has experience in refining magic cores from his previous experience in refining first-grade pills.

Therefore, although it was only his first attempt, Xiao Yang still managed to perfectly extract the essence from the magic core.

Looking at the extracted blue spiritual liquid, Xiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Instead of taking it out, he directly wrapped it with his soul power and placed it in a space inside the medicine cauldron.

He had hardly ever used this method before.

While this method increases the success rate of refining, it consumes a lot of soul power.

However, since we are now refining a precious pill called the Fighter Pill, the higher the success rate, the better.

Moreover, he also possessed the Nameless Soul Technique, which allowed him to quickly restore his soul power, so Xiao Yang didn't hold back.

Then, he began to add the second herb.

Soon, as time went by, Xiao Yang finally finished refining all the medicinal materials for the Dou Zhe Dan.

He was extremely careful when refining the Qi-nourishing herb.

Fortunately, although it was the first time refining, it was successful.

Next comes the most difficult step: fusion of the elixir.

This step is very difficult and is where he is most likely to fail.

Xiao Yang once again recalled the order, temperature, and techniques for melting the elixir in the formula.

After reviewing the process several times, he no longer hesitated and began to blend the two materials together.

At the beginning, what was being blended consisted of some auxiliary ingredients.

These are all materials designed to make the energy in the water-attribute magic core more moderate.

Xiao Yang became even more cautious when it came to integrating the last auxiliary ingredient.

Because what needs to be integrated now is the Peiyuan Grass.

Other medicinal herbs are easy to collect, but Peiyuan grass is not.

He was very careful with this step.

His spiritual power poured into the medicine cauldron as if it were free.

The medicinal liquid inside was completely enveloped by his soul power.

He carefully sensed the changes in the medicine's effects.

He would occasionally adjust the temperature of the flame based on the changes in the medicinal properties of the ingredients.

Finally, the Peiyuan Grass successfully fused into it.

However, Xiao Yang showed no signs of relaxing.

Now there's just one last step!

He dared not slacken his efforts, for he was only halfway there at ninety.

Moreover, the final step is not simple either.

That means completely fusing these auxiliary materials with the spiritual liquid extracted from the magic core into a pill!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yang used his soul power to control the fusion of the medicinal liquid and the magic core liquid.

The moment the two touched, the magic core liquid began to surge.

The energy inside began to surge.

Xiao Yang controlled the temperature of the flames to decrease slightly.

At the same time, his soul power was suppressing the energy in the spiritual liquid.

As time went on, the two gradually began to merge.

The energy within the magic core liquid began to calm down.

Xiao Yang's soul power could clearly sense that the energy in the original demon core was slowly becoming gentler.

Finally, the two merged into one.

Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Yang began to condense it into a pill.

Soon, a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted out from the cauldron.

The medicinal fragrance was very faint, after all, it was only a first-grade pill.

However, Xiao Yang was very excited.

The appearance of the elixir proves that he has successfully refined it!

He gradually lowered the temperature of the flames inside the medicine cauldron.

Soon, a sphere with a slightly flawed surface fell out from under the medicine cauldron and rolled into a groove specifically for storing pills.

Xiao Yang immediately took out a jade bottle, used his soul power to pick up the Dou Zhe Pill, and put it into the jade bottle.

It worked!

He actually succeeded in refining the Fighter Pill on his very first try!

Xiao Yang was somewhat excited.

It's important to know that refining a Fighter's Pill is no simpler than refining a Grade 2 pill.

The fact that he has successfully refined the Fighter Pill means that he can now even try to refine some simple Grade 2 pills!

Although the success rate may be low, it is still possible to refine it.

However, the amount of battle qi required to refine a second-grade pill is quite substantial.

Although his fighting spirit was much stronger than that of others of the same level because he cultivated the Myriad Laws Technique.

However, with his current fighting spirit, he might only be able to refine one or two second-grade pills before it's all used up.

After all, a second-grade alchemist is generally at least a Battle Master.

Therefore, Xiao Yang is not planning to refine any second-grade pills at the moment.

He planned to recover and continue refining the Fighter Pill.

Where can you find a second-grade elixir that's more profitable than the Fighter's Elixir?

Pills that can raise one's cultivation level are often the most expensive among those of the same level!

Moreover, he also planned to refine a Fighter Pill that was as perfect as possible.

Only in this way can his cultivation level be increased by two stars at once!

After recovering, Xiao Yang struck while the iron was hot and began refining the second Dou Zhe Pill.

Chapter 42 Enlightenment!

Soon, Xiao Yang refined two more Battle Pills.

However, during the final elixir fusion, a slight accident occurred.

That water-attribute magic core is probably closer to the second tier, and contains more energy.

Xiao Yang failed to control the heat properly, resulting in the failure of the refining process.

However, he was already quite satisfied with the two Fighter Pills he had refined from the three materials.

Next, we just need to wait for the previously obtained Qi-cultivating grass seeds to mature before refining them.

As for other materials, he had prepared many copies in advance, just in case.

……

Soon, a month had passed.

In the past month, he has broken through one star again.

Xiao Yang is now a three-star Dou Zhe.

The main reason is that he had been accelerating the ripening of the Peiyuan grass for the past month.

A single plant of Peiyuan Grass basically needs to be ripened thirty times.

Even with the Foundation Establishment Elixir, there were other things to do.

Therefore, he only managed to accelerate the ripening of eight plants of the Peiyuan Grass.

However, several of the seeds of the Nourishing Grass sprouted on their own.

Each time a plant matures, it leaves behind a few seeds, which he then replants in the system's medicinal field.

As Xiao Yang accelerated the ripening of the eighth Qi-cultivating grass, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Accelerate the growth of two Nourishing Grass plants; Reward: Spirit Plant Technique Proficiency +1]

Seeing his proficiency level of 9/10 in the beginner level of the Spirit Plant Technique, Xiao Yang almost burst into tears.
