Alchemy
Alchemy Chamber, Third-Tier Lower-Grade, low-grade Fire-Attribute Formation, [Flaming Blaze Formation], drew in surging Spiritual Qi, transforming it into an incomparably scorching Third Tier Flaming Blaze True Fire.
Yunhua, on the other hand, was born with Six-Yin Spirit Body, and her Law Power was extremely Yin and cold. The Six-Yin True Fire she cultivated with the Fire-Controlling Technique was blackish-blue, and instead of being hot, it was covered with wisps of frost.
Flaming Blaze True Fire, Six-Yin True Fire, Two Balls of True Fire, One Yin and One Yang.
This was not a coincidence, but rather something Yunhua did intentionally.
The Alchemy method she cultivated was called the "Yin-Yang Spirit-Tempering Method," which used two completely opposite forces to counteract each other in order to extract the essence of spirit medicine.
As Yunhua activated the Yin-Yang Spirit-Tempering Method, the dark blue Six-Yin True Fire transformed into an icy serpent, while the Third Tier Flaming Blaze True Fire transformed into a crimson Flood Dragon.
A python and a Flood Dragon intertwined within the Pill Furnace, gradually forming a slowly rotating Yin-Yang Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, or perhaps Yin-Yang Great Grinding Disc.
"Put in the Golden-Pattern Pear!" Yunhua in a low voice.
Yang Tianyou hurriedly agreed, and then with a wave of his sleeve, the already perfectly processed Golden-Pattern Pear transformed into streaks of golden light and disappeared into the Pill Furnace.
He placed a total of nine Golden-Pattern Pears, which was the number Yunhua calculated to have the highest success rate in forming pills.
Laugh!
After the Golden-Pattern Pear entered the Pill Furnace, it immediately sank into the very center of the Yin-Yang Great Grinding Disc. The golden pear was quickly crushed into powder by the incredibly powerful Yin-Yang interaction force.
As the Yin-Yang Great Grinding Disc rotated, strands of impurities fell from it and were burned to ashes by the True Fire below.
The remaining essence of the spirit medicine, under the grinding and tempering of the Yin-Yang Great Grinding Disc, became increasingly crystal clear and full of Spiritual Qi, with seemingly tiny specks of light surging within.
A quarter of an hour later, Yunhua's red lips parted slightly, and she spoke again, "It's time. Add the other spirit medicine."
Without saying a word, Yang Tianyou put the prepared spirit medicine into the Pill Furnace.
And so, the two worked together, as if they were telepathically connected, displaying an amazing tacit understanding.
An hour later, the Scarlet Gold lid above the Pill Furnace opened, and a series of golden specks flew out and landed in the jade box in front of the two people.
As the light faded, Yang Tianyou picked up the jade box and looked at the eight [Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pills ] neatly arranged inside, a smile appearing on his face.
The Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill Second-Tier Middle-Grade Pills can help Cultivators improve their cultivation level. In particular, Cultivators whose Spiritual Power is of the Metal Attribute can save Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator a whole year of arduous cultivation by taking one Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill.
For Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, this can save half a year of arduous cultivation.
Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator can save three months of arduous cultivation by taking one Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill.
If it's not Metal-Attribute Spiritual Power, the effects of the Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill will be somewhat weakened, but not by much, about 20%, and its medicinal properties will still be very strong.
Of course, there are limitations: one can only take a maximum of one Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill per year.
Otherwise, it's not that Pills are useless, but rather that the immense Spiritual Qi contained within Pills can damage a cultivator's foundation.
Just like filling a wooden barrel with too much water, it will exert a strong pressure on the barrel itself, and it might even burst open.
Therefore, after taking each Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill, one must carefully refine one's Spiritual Power, solidify one's foundation, and gather all its essence for one's own use before taking the next one.
"Your Alchemy skills are probably about to break through to the Third Tier. Nine Pills, eight of them turned into pills, almost perfect," Yang Tianyou praised.
"It's still far from perfect. The reason for the high success rate is that the Yin-Yang Spirit-Tempering Method plays a key role. This is an Alchemy technique that my grandfather inherited. It is extremely extraordinary and can increase the success rate by 10% to 30% when refining Pills." Yunhua smiled beautifully and explained.
"I see!" Yang Tianyou nodded, without saying anything more.
"Let's continue. First, refine all the Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pills, then refine the Foundation Establishment Pills, and save the most difficult Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill for last."
"Let's do it this way."
Yang Tianyou smiled, raised his right hand, and with a flick of his sleeve, sent nine Golden-Pattern Pears into the Pill Furnace.
Ice and fire intertwined, Yin-Yang converged, and each spirit medicine was refined to extract its medicinal essence. Then, under Yunhua's exquisite Alchemy skills, it condensed into clumps of Spirit Liquid.
These Spirit Liquids were then compressed and condensed repeatedly, eventually forming crystal-clear Pills full of spiritual light, which were placed in a jade box and stored away.
Half a day later, all the Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pills were completed. Thirty-eight Golden-Pattern Pears yielded a total of thirty-four pills.
The Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill is now complete; the next step is the Foundation Establishment Pill.
There are a total of fifteen Life-Origin Fruits. If the success rate of pill formation is 100%, that's fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills.
Of course, that's unlikely, but given Yunhua's success rate in Foundation Establishment Pills, twelve or thirteen is still a possibility.
The reason why the Yang Household spent three whole months collecting all the Pill Spirit was mainly because of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The auxiliary ingredients for the Gold-Pattern Qi-Nourishing Pill and the Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill were easy to obtain; they were collected in just over half a month.
However, the auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill are almost entirely controlled by the Feng Household and the Three Rivers Sect.
Even with the Yang Household's current status and strength, it still took a huge price and a lot of hard work to collect it from several surrounding counties.
Even so, half of the spirit medicine was obtained through the Gold and Silver Alliance's channels.
This demonstrates the extent to which the upper echelons monopolize this strategic Pills. It's no wonder that there are Sacred Lands with a history of 100,000 years; it's simply because it's extremely difficult for lower-level forces to rise to power.
The situation is somewhat better at the border, but it is said that in the Cultivation World of the central region of the Northern River Region, the social hierarchy has been almost completely solidified.
The Foundation Establishment Lineage there have no idea whatsoever about their Lineage rising to prominence.
The Lineage's higher-ups were only focused on getting Lineage members to join a sect or marry into the Aristocratic Clan of cultivators.
Do they lack ideals?
No, it's simply that there's no fertile ground for growth there. Every inch of land in the central region of the Northern River Region has been labeled by powerful forces.
Even the Spirit Fields that your family has cultivated for generations, when investigated further, are actually rented to you by a powerful force.
When they're in a bad mood, they can just take it back, and you'll have no recourse, since it's their territory after all.
This is why the Human Race has such a strong desire to expand, because without conquering other areas, it is really difficult for lower-level forces to rise up.
As you can see, the dozens of border passes of the Human Race have been pushed outward by 100,000 li in the past three thousand years.
The territory of the Savage Wilderness Great Domain is actually shrinking, while the Human Race territories of the Northern River Region and the Myriad Nations Region are expanding.
Although this Cold Tide was initially dominated by Devil Cultivators, the actual main force has now become the Foreign Races.
Why? Simply because I'm unwilling to accept it.
