Several more years passed.
After meticulously honing his Dao of Alchemy Arts and repeatedly contemplating them thousands of times, Li Qingyuan finally succeeded in refining six batches of Six-Turn Golden Cores.
The first batch yielded one standard-grade pill.
The second and third batches yielded three standard-grade pills.
The fourth batch yielded one premium-grade pill and two standard-grade pills.
The fifth batch yielded two premium-grade pills and one standard-grade pill.
By the sixth batch, his greatly improved skills and good condition brought a lucky yield of three premium-grade pills.
As the three Golden Cores burst from the furnace, visions of Golden Armored Divine Generals appeared three times, their golden light blotting out the sky and sun.
"Six premium-grade pills and ten standard-grade pills."
Li Qingyuan looked satisfied. "These sixteen Six-Turn Golden Cores will be enough to greatly advance both my Six-Turn Profound Technique and the Second Yuan Clone's."
The Second Yuan Clone also cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, so Six-Turn Golden Cores were likewise excellent for raising his Profound Technique realm.
Li Qingyuan took a deep breath and steadied his mind. "Continue refining pills."
"Make every preparation for another retreat."
"The sect's pill supplies and external trade channels need far greater quantities of first-, second-, and third-grade Immortal Pills."
Thus, Li Qingyuan spent another eighty years in seclusion refining pills.
The medicinal ingredients he carried and those the sect had accumulated over more than thirty thousand years were all turned into pills.
The Heaven-Burning Purple Sun Furnace burned day and night, the Southern Bright Illusory Fire blazing continuously as Li Qingyuan immersed himself in the Dao of Alchemy, utterly enthralled.
There were over thirty varieties of first-grade Immortal Pills, over ten varieties of second-grade Immortal Pills, and five varieties of third-grade Immortal Pills, excluding Six-Turn Golden Cores.
