I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

As Zhou Changwang progresses in his alchemical refinement of the Youthful Appearance Pill, the quality will improve, and the pill success rate will increase.

Thinking of this, Zhou Changwang was filled with motivation.

He hurriedly took another batch to start refining.

Next, he combined the materials from two batches, then three, finally five...

Soon he advanced the realm of the Facial Rejuvenation Pill Formula to the Mastery Realm.

With the Youthful Appearance Pill at Mastery, the quality of the spirit pills Zhou Changwang refined became even higher.

With a single batch of materials, he could refine eight pills, among which at least three would be Mid-grade Spirit Pills. Sometimes, with luck, he could have one pill reach Top Grade, while the remaining ones would include four Lower-Grade Spirit Pills, leaving one as wasted pill.

Wasted pills are inevitable.

After all, in the alchemy process, there are always some erysipelas impurities that cannot be eliminated.

All he could do is try to blend these erysipelas impurities into one of the spirit pills as much as possible.

Several days later.

Youthful Appearance Pill (Small Success 397/400)

Zhou Changwang cleaned the pill furnace, a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

"The Youthful Appearance Pill is only three experience points away, which is equivalent to three batches of spiritual materials, from advancing to the Great Success Realm.

Unfortunately, the spiritual materials are gone."

Zhou Changwang sighed and shook his head.

Just earlier, he had used the last batch of spiritual materials for the Youthful Appearance Pill to refine spirit pills.

Three Top-grade Spirit Pills, three Mid-grade Spirit Pills, two Lower Grade Spirit Pills.

According to his pricing, they could be sold for at least seven thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones...

It must be said, alchemy masters truly deserve to be the most sought-after profession in the cultivation realm.

The speed at which one can earn spirit stones like this is enough to shock and tempt anyone who learns about it.

"Of course, the main reason is that I am completely different from ordinary alchemy masters.

Other alchemy masters, even Second-Grade Initial Stage Alchemists, have to go through countless failures before they can really begin to refine successfully.

Moreover, even when they succeed, they cannot guarantee success every time like I do.

Usually, only after three or five attempts can they succeed once.

Skillful alchemy masters have better success rates, but at most only fifty or sixty percent.

Which means, out of ten attempts at alchemy, they might succeed only five or six times.

The pill success rate is also very low.

With a single batch of materials yielding eight pills, even the skillful alchemy masters can at most refine four or five pills.

With results like mine, refining six or seven pills while maintaining adequate quality of spirit pills is extremely rare.

Often, only those specialized in a particular spirit pill can achieve this."

Zhou Changwang pondered silently, and he felt it was natural.

The attribute panel seemed to merely enhance his skill level.

However, the effects that come with skill enhancement are truly terrifying.

This is also the real assurance for him to swiftly earn a plethora of spirit stones within a short time.

"The advancement of the Youthful Appearance Pill’s realm is not urgent.

For me, the upcoming challenge is the most crucial.

Foundation Condensation Pill!

This is also a spirit pill applicable to cultivators undergoing Foundation Establishment.

A Foundation Condensation Pill can rapidly solidify a cultivator’s originally unstable spiritual power realm.

If consumed when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it can provide the cultivator with almost endless spiritual power.

It also enables cultivators to smoothly pass through the Spiritual Power Barrier in the Foundation Establishment Three Gates.

It is also recognized in the cultivation realm, aside from the Foundation Establishment Pill, as one of the rare spirit pills that enhance a cultivator’s chance of foundation establishment.

Although this chance isn’t considered high, at most only ten percent.

But never mind ten percent, even half a percent is enough to make countless cultivators flock to it."

Zhou Changwang took a deep breath, and consequently took out a Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag.

Recorded on the Jade Scroll was the Foundation Condensation Pill Formula.

Not only does it list over ten spiritual materials needed for the Foundation Condensation Pill, but it also includes the process, steps, and numerous insights, experiences, and small techniques from predecessors who refined this spirit pill.

It can be said.

This Foundation Condensation Pill is more than just a pill formula; it is also a discussion and exploration of the alchemy path.

It is the crystallization of predecessor experiences.

The medical theory, pharmacology, and the alchemy path rules echoing the way of the heavens recorded in the Pill Formula provoke deep thought.

They also cause many cultivators who have a superficial understanding of the alchemy path to ponder deeply, yet come up empty-handed.

Even for Zhou Changwang himself, whose alchemy skill has achieved Great Success, it requires careful consideration to comprehend some of the profound meanings and principles when viewing this Pill Formula.

Moreover, to better understand the intricacies, Zhou Changwang consequently brought out the Thousand-Year Enlightenment Tea leaves.

"Considering the one and a half ounces obtained earlier from Shu Zhengyi’s Storage Bag, I am left with only two ounces of Thousand-Year Enlightenment Tea leaves now."

Zhou Changwang took two leaves, poured them into the boiling Spirit Spring Water, and took a small sip.

That special sensation, leaving his mind exceptionally clear, surfaced once again.

In a short time, he felt countless inspirations and insights budding within him, understanding questions he previously found difficult, providing answers to uncertainties that were not figured out.

In relation to the Foundation Condensation Pill Formula.

Suddenly, he had countless understandings and thoughts.

Having finished a cup of Spirit Tea.

The ideas Zhou Changwang had for refining the Foundation Condensation Pill had multiplied, and his confidence increased.

However, to be prudent.

He did not immediately start alchemy.

After all, the Foundation Condensation Pill is no ordinary item; a single batch of materials costs up to twenty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Failing once would cause him great heartache, and he cannot afford to waste it.
