Qin Fengming had not used the Alchemy Room provided by the Immortal Qi Sect to refine pills, naturally because he did not want everyone to know that he possessed the Five Elements attribute.
Instead, he had refined pills inside the Divine Machine Mansion, using his own Nascent Soul flame.
Refining pills by consuming Nascent Soul flame placed an enormous strain on a cultivator's magic power. Anyone else would certainly not have chosen such a method.
After all, refining this kind of pill took at least a dozen days, and sometimes even several dozen. The immense amount of magic power required was beyond what an ordinary cultivator could endure. Qin Fengming, however, had no such concern.
His own magic power was already vast, and with the assistance of the emerald-green gourd he carried, he naturally had not the slightest worry about the consumption of his magic power.
Although refining the Five Spirits Yang Replenishing Pill was not particularly difficult for Qin Fengming, he had still spent quite a while familiarizing himself with the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs required.
Furthermore, after successfully refining the Five Spirits Yang Replenishing Pill, he had to temper the already formed pill with flames of the five attributes, allowing its medicinal efficacy to condense. This likewise required no short amount of time.
Thus, he had remained inside the Divine Machine Mansion for a full seven months.
During this pill-refining attempt, he had failed only once. The quantity of spirit herbs provided by the Immortal Qi Sect had been enough for three attempts, and he still had enough herbs on him for one more refinement.
Although all those spirit herbs were only several tens of thousands of years old, their varieties were so rare that even Qin Fengming would have found it difficult to gather them.
