Nameless Soul Art!

Looking at the reward for raising his First-grade Pill Proficiency to Major Accomplishment, Xiao Yang's face was filled with delight.

It was actually the Compendium of Grade 2 Pill Recipes!

This was far too important to him.

After all, Xiao Yang had no Teacher.

So although he now knew the recipes for all First-grade Pills,

he only knew the recipes for a few Second-grade Pills.

And they were not even particularly complete.

That was because those few Second-grade Pill recipes had merely been casually recorded in the Alchemy Handbook of that Fourth-grade Alchemist.

That Alchemist had only treated them as records, so the alchemy process had not been documented very thoroughly.

A pill recipe did not only contain Medicinal Materials.

It also included proportions, the temperature during refinement, the order in which the Medicinal Materials were fused, and the temperature during Pill Fusion.

All of those had to be recorded in a Pill Recipe.

Yet that Alchemy Handbook only contained some techniques and the order in which the Medicinal Materials were fused.

Though those were important, the proportions were equally crucial.

If Xiao Yang wanted to refine those pills, he would have to determine the proportions himself.

Although having the later steps would make it easier for him to reverse-engineer the proportions,

how could that compare to directly obtaining the Pill Recipes?

He did not hesitate and immediately began refining pills.

Whenever his Dou Qi was depleted, he used Foundation Building Divine Liquid.

Time quickly passed. After refining the last batch of Coagulation Powder, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Refine nine batches of Coagulation Powder. Reward: First-grade Pill Proficiency +1, one Sunpetal Flower. Completed. Claim reward?]

"System, claim the reward!"

Xiao Yang said silently in his mind.

The next moment, a wealth of experience and insights regarding the refinement of First-grade Pills appeared in his mind.

This time, there were especially many experiences and insights.

They did not merely involve the several First-grade Pills Xiao Yang had refined before.

There were also some First-grade Pills he had never refined.

With these experiences and insights, he was confident that he would have a decent success rate even on his first attempt at refining those pills!

At the same time, another notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Raise a bottle of pill proficiency to Major Accomplishment. Reward: Alchemy Techniques Proficiency +3, Beginner Alchemy Talent +3, Compendium of Grade 2 Pill Recipes. Completed. Claim reward?]

He did not hesitate and immediately claimed the reward.

The next moment, several Alchemy Techniques suddenly appeared in his mind.

At the same time, he also gained insights into some of the Alchemy Techniques he had used before.

It took Xiao Yang a full half hour to digest those insights.

His mind began reviewing these newly acquired techniques.

With these techniques, his pill-refining success rate might rise a little further.

At present, Xiao Yang's success rate for refining simple First-grade Pills like Coagulation Powder was around eighty percent.

For other First-grade Pills, it was around sixty to seventy percent.

Now that his First-grade Pill Proficiency had reached Major Accomplishment, his proficiency in refining these pills could basically rise by another ten percent!

After his First-grade Pill Proficiency reached Major Accomplishment, he planned to start attempting to refine Fighter Pills!

However, before that, he needed to adjust his condition first.

Dou Qi was not much of a problem; it recovered quickly.

But the depletion of Soul Power was somewhat difficult to recover from.

After all, he did not have a Soul Cultivation Technique.

If he wanted to restore Soul Power, he could only wait for it to recover slowly on its own.

To obtain a Soul Cultivation Technique, he needed to become the Pill Gathering Champion. That was the clearest method of obtaining one in the Original Work.

Wait!

Just then, Xiao Yang suddenly thought of something!

In the Original Work, the first Soul Cultivation Technique Xiao Yan obtained was not the Taiyi Soul Art he got at the Pill Gathering!

The first Soul Cultivation Technique he obtained was a nameless chant!

Because Xiao Yang had transmigrated while rereading Battle Through the Heavens, he remembered the earlier parts very clearly.

But his memories of the later parts were somewhat blurry.

However, after breaking through to Dou Zhe, his memories had become much clearer.

Now, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan had also possessed a Nameless Soul Art in the Original Work!

It seemed to consist of only a few short words.

Xiao Yang began recalling it with all his strength.

The memories that had originally been somewhat vague gradually became clearer as he continued to recall them.

"The soul reaches its extreme, seal the Heavenly Spirit, absorb spirit and temper the soul!"

The next moment, Xiao Yang immediately felt a wave of comfort wash over his soul.

Besides that, he could also sense the Spiritual Qi around him!

To break through to the Spirit Realm, one needed to absorb Spiritual Qi into the soul!

Of course, if one could absorb Spiritual Qi in the Mortal Realm, the Soul Realm could also improve rapidly.

Unfortunately, this nameless chant could only allow one to sense Spiritual Qi.

As for absorbing Spiritual Qi into the soul, one needed to combine it with other Soul Cultivation Techniques.

This chant was incomplete, so it could not be used to improve one's Soul Realm.

Or rather, if one wanted to rely on this chant to improve one's Soul Realm, who knew how long it would take.

However, using it to restore Soul Power was not a problem.

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and immediately began continuously reciting the Nameless Soul Art.

"The soul reaches its extreme, seal the Heavenly Spirit, absorb spirit and temper the soul!"

"The soul reaches its extreme, seal the Heavenly Spirit, absorb spirit and temper the soul!"

As Xiao Yang continuously recited the Nameless Soul Art, his Soul Power gradually began to recover.

Before long, his Soul Power had returned to its peak.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang stopped reciting it.

After all, if he wanted to rely on this Nameless Soul Art to improve his realm, who knew how many years it would take.

He might as well rely on the system.

Wait!

Xiao Yang smacked his forehead. He had nearly forgotten about the system!

With the system, perhaps he could complete the Nameless Soul Art!

Without the slightest hesitation, he began trying to create a task.

[Task: Cultivate the Nameless Soul Art (Incomplete) for one day. Reward: Nameless Soul Art (Incomplete) Proficiency +1]

It really worked!

Unfortunately, perhaps because it was incomplete, completing the task once required cultivating for an entire day.

And it had to be continuous.

In other words, he needed to cultivate for twenty-four hours.

His time was already packed full every day, so he could only take it slowly.

Fortunately, his current Soul Realm was sufficient for Xiao Yang to advance to the level of a Fourth-grade Alchemist.

In other words, he would only need to start trying to improve his Soul Realm once he reached the fourth grade.

Before then, there was no need to rush.

He planned to cultivate a little after refining pills in the future. In any case, the time could slowly accumulate.

For now, he should refine Fighter Pills first!

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yang began creating a task.

[Task: Refine eight Fighter Pills. Reward: ten Peiyuan Grass, one Third-tier Water-attribute Monster Core, First-grade Pill Proficiency +1]

He knew that Fighter Pills were difficult to refine, and completing a Proficiency task might not require refining so many.

But he had not expected that refining only eight would complete one task.

He tried creating another task.

[Task: Refine eighty batches of Coagulation Powder or Qi Replenishing Powder. Reward: First-grade Pill Proficiency +1, one Third-tier Wood-attribute Monster Core]
