Fighter Pill

Eighty portions?

Xiao Yang, who had still been puzzled, suddenly remembered that his Beginner Alchemy Talent had improved and immediately understood.

It must have become eighty portions because his Beginner Alchemy Talent had improved.

Otherwise, it should originally have been ninety portions.

He had thought he needed to advance to Intermediate Alchemy Talent before he could reduce it further.

Still, this was good too.

This would considerably increase the speed at which he raised his First-grade Pill Proficiency.

Shaking his head and no longer thinking about anything else, Xiao Yang took out the Fighter Pill ingredients he had prepared long ago.

He currently had three sets of Fighter Pill ingredients.

The main reason was the Peiyuan Grass.

Peiyuan Grass was simply too rare, especially in a small place like the Northwest Continent.

As for the other materials, even the First-order Water Attribute Monster Core, which was a main ingredient, was easy to buy as long as he had money.

But even if he had money, he would still have to wait half a month for the Miter Auction House to transfer in Peiyuan Grass.

With three sets of ingredients, he felt that he should be able to refine one Fighter Pill.

He began recalling the information about the Fighter Pill in his mind.

The temperature and techniques required to refine each herb, as well as the sequence, temperature, and techniques for Pill Fusion.

Xiao Yang simulated all of it in his mind several times.

After preparing himself, he slowly converted his Dou Qi into the Fire Attribute.

Then, he converted another trace into the Wood Attribute.

After balancing the ratio between the two, Xiao Yang injected his Dou Qi into the Medicine Cauldron.

A ball of yellow flame rose within it.

He did not fuse the Third-tier Beast Fire he had obtained earlier first.

If he fused it now, his Fire Control level might decline somewhat.

In any case, his current flames were sufficient to refine a Fighter Pill.

He could wait until he was ready to refine pills above his level before fusing the Beast Fire.

Sensing the temperature inside the Medicine Cauldron, Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly placed the First-order Water Attribute Monster Core inside.

His expression became somewhat solemn.

The energy within a Magical Core was extremely violent.

Only Magical Beasts could directly absorb the energy inside a Magical Core.

If humans directly absorbed the energy within a Magical Core, their Meridians would be damaged, and they might even explode and die.

Therefore, if humans wanted to make use of Magical Cores, they needed Alchemists to refine them into pills.

The pills Luo Fan had refined before were all relatively simple and had not used Magical Cores.

However, Xiao Yang's Fire Control Proficiency was now very high, and the First-grade Pill refining experience he had gained earlier also included experience in extracting Magical Cores.

Therefore, although it was only his first attempt, Xiao Yang still perfectly extracted the essence from the Magical Core.

Looking at the ball of blue Spirit Liquid he had extracted, Xiao Yang let out a breath of relief.

He did not take it out. Instead, he wrapped it in Soul Power and placed it in a separate space inside the Medicine Cauldron.

He had hardly used this method before.

Although it could increase the success rate of refinement, it consumed a great deal of Soul Power.

However, he was now refining a precious pill like the Fighter Pill, so naturally, the higher the success rate, the better.

Moreover, he had the Nameless Soul Art, which could rapidly restore his Soul Power, so Xiao Yang did not hold back.

Then, he began adding the second herb.

Soon, as time passed, Xiao Yang finally finished refining all the medicinal materials for the Fighter Pill.

When refining the Peiyuan Grass, he was at his most cautious.

Fortunately, although it was his first time refining it, he still succeeded.

Next came the most difficult step: Pill Fusion.

This step was extremely difficult and was also where he was most likely to fail.

Xiao Yang once again recalled the Pill Recipe's sequence, heat control, and techniques for Pill Fusion.

After going over them several times, he no longer hesitated and began fusing the two ingredients together.

At the start, he fused only supplementary ingredients.

These were all materials meant to make the energy within the Water-attribute Monster Core gentler.

When he reached the final supplementary ingredient, Xiao Yang became even more cautious.

Because what he was about to fuse now was the Peiyuan Grass.

The other medicinal materials were easy to gather, but Peiyuan Grass was not.

He was exceptionally careful during this step.

His Soul Power poured into the Medicine Cauldron as though it cost nothing.

The medicinal liquid inside was completely wrapped in his Soul Power.

He carefully sensed the changes in its Medicinal Properties.

From time to time, he raised or lowered the flame's temperature according to the changes in the Medicinal Properties inside.

Finally, the Peiyuan Grass was successfully fused in.

However, Xiao Yang did not relax in the slightest.

There was still one final step left!

The last ten miles were the hardest; he did not dare let his guard down.

Moreover, the final step was not simple either.

He had to thoroughly fuse these supplementary ingredients with the Spirit Liquid extracted from the Magical Core into a pill!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yang used his Soul Power to control the fusion of the medicinal liquid and the Magical Core Spirit Liquid.

The moment the two came into contact, the Magical Core Spirit Liquid began to churn.

The energy within it also began to roil.

Xiao Yang slightly lowered the temperature of the flames.

At the same time, his Soul Power firmly suppressed the energy within the Spirit Liquid.

As time passed, the two gradually began to fuse.

The energy within the Magical Core Spirit Liquid also began to calm.

Xiao Yang could clearly sense through his Soul Power that the energy originally contained in the Magical Core was slowly becoming gentler.

Finally, the two fused into one.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Yang began condensing it into a pill.

Very soon, a faint Pill Fragrance drifted from the Medicine Cauldron.

The fragrance was very light, after all, it was only a First-grade Pill.

Yet Xiao Yang was extremely excited.

Because the appearance of Pill Fragrance proved that he had succeeded!

He gradually lowered the temperature of the flames inside the Medicine Cauldron.

Soon, a sphere with a few slight flaws on its surface fell from beneath the Medicine Cauldron and rolled into a recessed slot specially used for storing pills.

Xiao Yang immediately took out a Jade Bottle, picked up the Fighter Pill with Soul Power, and placed it inside.

He had succeeded!

He had actually succeeded on his very first attempt at refining a Fighter Pill!

Xiao Yang was somewhat excited.

One had to know that refining a Fighter Pill was no easier than refining a Second-grade Pill.

Refining a Fighter Pill meant that he could now even attempt to refine some simple Second-grade Pills!

Although the success rate might not be high, he could still refine them.

However, refining Second-grade Pills required quite a large amount of Dou Qi.

Although his Dou Qi was far more abundant than that of others at the same level due to cultivating the Myriad Laws Incantation.

With his current Dou Qi, he might exhaust it after refining Second-grade Pills once or twice.

After all, Second-grade Alchemists were generally at least Dou Masters.

Therefore, Xiao Yang was not planning to refine Second-grade Pills yet.

He planned to recover first, then continue refining Fighter Pills.

How could Second-grade Pills be as profitable as Fighter Pills?

Pills that raised one's realm were often the most expensive among pills of the same grade!

Moreover, he also intended to refine a Fighter Pill that was as perfect as possible.

Only then might it raise his cultivation by two stars at once!

After recovering to peak condition, Xiao Yang struck while the iron was hot and began refining his second Fighter Pill.
