I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Therefore, on the second day, the third day, he relied on drinking Enlightenment Tea to comprehend the Spirit Pill Formula.

Until after the fourth day.

Zhou Changwang truly began his first attempt at refining the Foundation Condensation Pill.

First, he used the Cleaning Technique on himself and the Pill Furnace.

Next, he took out a clean tray, laying out the materials needed for refining the Foundation Condensation Pill one by one and began processing them meticulously once more.

Finally, he lit the Pill Furnace, summoning the Nanming Li Fire from within himself, allowing it to steadily fall into the Pill Furnace.

Until the temperature rose to a certain degree.

Zhou Changwang reached out and guided a batch of Spiritual Materials swiftly into the Pill Furnace.

Buzz~!

Under the scorching of the Spiritual Fire, the pressure within that batch of materials was instantly evaporated, guided by Zhou Changwang, floating within the Pill Furnace and isolated by Spiritual Power.

Next came the second type of Spiritual Material, the third type...

Before beginning the alchemy, Zhou Changwang had made countless meticulous preparations and had his considerations for each detail in the alchemy process.

So even though this was his first time refining the Foundation Condensation Pill, everything seemed smooth and proficient.

The initial processing of Spiritual Materials was not a difficulty for him.

The real challenge lay in the subsequent fusion of medicinal power.

A slight mistake would result in failure.

Eleven batches of Spiritual Materials.

He was not confident that he could successfully refine the Foundation Condensation Pill.

After the time it takes for incense to burn.

Batch after batch of Spiritual Materials was melted in the furnace, and the dregs were fused together, re-refining strands of medicinal power, before he guided those dregs out of the Alchemy Furnace.

Next was the most crucial part.

Fusion of medicinal power.

Whether a Spirit Pill succeeds, the most difficult part is this step.

Low-tier spiritual pills are still manageable, as the fusion of medicinal power from two or three types of Spiritual Materials isn’t that challenging.

But the higher the grade of the Spirit Pill, the more types and quantities of Spiritual Materials are required.

The fusion of various medicinal powers can achieve unexpected effects, possessing corresponding efficacy, but it’s not an easy task.

Every step requires extreme caution.

Often, Spiritual Power, flame power, and the control of Spiritual Sense are needed to facilitate this, and only then can success be achieved.

One wrong step leads to all steps being wrong!

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Zhou Changwang carefully controlled the fusion of the medicinal powers.

The temperature of the Spiritual Fire fluctuated, being sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle, constantly changing.

Twenty breaths, thirty breaths...

Boom!

"What a pity!"

Zhou Changwang’s pupil shrank, showing a trace of regret.

Failure!

The medicinal power became chaotic, blending into something even Zhou Changwang wasn’t clear about.

Once it cooled, it turned into a lump of pitch-black viscous substance, with an obvious foul stench. Clearly, the Erysipelas was severe, and rashly consuming it would risk the fall of even a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator.

Buzz~!

Nanming Li Fire transformed into a stream of light, instantly enveloping it, burning it to ashes.

Only then did Zhou Changwang use the Cleaning Technique to cleanse the Pill Furnace.

"Failure.

Very normal.

The key is to find the point of error from the failure."

Zhou Changwang took a deep breath, soon calming down, carefully reflecting and analyzing what shortcomings he had during the alchemy process.

If there were errors, he would change them. If not, he needed to consider whether optimization was possible.

Striving for perfection.

After an hour.

Only then did Zhou Changwang uncover each issue in his alchemy process.

Then, he once again took out two pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves.

After half an hour, he started trying again.

"Failed again.

This time, the problem lay in the changes of Spiritual Fire.

The ability to control temperature changes was slightly inadequate."

Zhou Changwang expressionlessly removed the medicinal dregs, once again reflecting and pondering.

Two hours later.

He began the third alchemy attempt.

"Still failed.

This time it was on the last step.

Next time, next time I should succeed..."

Zhou Changwang felt somewhat excited.

However, as he was cleaning the Alchemy Furnace, he calmed down again.

This alchemy process, like Talisman Making, success depends on many factors, sometimes even attributed to metaphysics.

After failing three times in a row, he naturally needed to calm himself.

The next day.

He began another attempt.

Then.

Step by step, materials were placed into the Alchemy Furnace.

He seemed very proficient.

Each step was orderly.

Finally, it came to the last step.

He gently integrated the last bit of medicinal power using a soft and precise method, ensuring even incorporation.

Buzz~

The Spirit Pill gently vibrated, with more than half of the medicinal power shattering with it, scattering at the bottom of the Pill Furnace.

But similarly, a small portion of the medicinal power gradually stabilized, slowly merging together.

"It worked... this time, it finally worked!"

Zhou Changwang was excited, quickly controlling and finishing the final steps.

Then, using the Pill Separation Technique, he meticulously removed the obvious impurities in the surrounding medicinal power.

He was very cautious with this step, too.

Even though he had performed this countless times when refining other Spirit Pills.

But this time was different.

The price of the Foundation Condensation Pill’s materials was too high.

Sizzle~!

The impurities flew out.

The Spirit Pill condensed.

Zhou Changwang quickly used the Pill Collection Technique.

Immediately, a Spirit Pill whirled out of the Pill Furnace.

And swiftly guided by him, it was collected into a Jade Bottle.
