Now Available—Hope Everyone Keeps Reading, I Don't Want to Drop It. Refining the Whale Rubber Pill!

This book failed to advance, but I asked the editor. There are over four hundred continuing readers on QQ Reading and over two hundred on Qidian at the moment, so I can keep writing.

I don't want to drop the book either, so I hope readers won't stockpile chapters and will keep reading.

It went premium today. Book friends on Qidian can come to QQ Reading and get a membership to read it. It's eighteen yuan a month, which is still quite worthwhile.

This book was first released on QQ Reading and follows the Member Popularity System.

So it could go premium at fifty thousand words. That is also common on QQ Reading.

I'm not asking for much. Three or four thousand a month in royalties and bonuses would be enough.

Main text.

Next, Li Fei continued trying, deepening his proficiency in alchemy.

By the time he had refined all eight remaining portions into pills, with the help of his Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Heaven-Defying Luck, his alchemy proficiency had reached the level of masterful perfection.

All eight portions of medicinal herbs had been refined into pills.

A one hundred percent pill formation rate!

With the same quantity of ingredients, each batch produced more pills than the last.

The second batch produced eleven pills.

The second batch produced twelve pills.

The third batch produced thirteen pills.

The fourth batch produced fourteen pills.

The fifth batch produced fifteen pills.

The sixth batch produced sixteen pills.

The seventh batch produced seventeen pills.

The eighth batch produced twenty pills.

Although the increase was not significant, it was still more than before.

That was progress.

After circulating the Willow God Method to restore his depleted Soul Power and Spiritual Power,

"Next is the final batch."

After tasting the pills, Li Fei discovered that they no longer had any effect on him at all.

Thus, he put them into his Storage Ring, intending to let Enjing and the others try them later.

His gaze fell on the final portion of ingredients.

This time, he took out that piece of Myriad Year Whale Rubber from his Storage Ring.

With so much prior experience refining pills, he was fully confident that he could turn this piece of Myriad Year Whale Rubber into a pill.

Following the previous steps, he planned to melt the Myriad Year Whale Rubber first this time.

This thing was old, difficult to melt, and took a long time.

The other medicinal herbs were younger, easy to melt, and took less time.

After placing the Myriad Year Whale Rubber into the pill furnace, Li Fei circulated his Soul Power and sent most of it into his Fire Attribute, raising the flames to their highest temperature yet.

Fierce flames wrapped around the Myriad Year Whale Rubber and began refining it slowly.

As time passed bit by bit, the Myriad Year Whale Rubber gradually turned into liquid from the outside in.

The fishy smell it gave off was also burned into gas by the blazing flames and expelled from the Mongolian yurt.

After another incense stick of time, the entire piece of Myriad Year Whale Rubber had completely turned into blue liquid, though it still contained many impurities.

He mobilized his Spiritual Power and methodically removed them bit by bit.

With the experience of the previous nine attempts, this step was effortless for Li Fei.

Soon, the impurities had been completely removed.

He wrapped it in Wood Attribute power and set it aside to nourish.

Then, he tossed in the final portion of medicinal herbs and followed the usual process, quickly melting them into liquid and removing the impurities.

This process took only half an incense stick of time.

Then, he fused the purest portions of both liquids together.

This process also went very smoothly.

Next, he left it to the Wood Attribute to nourish it.

This process could not be rushed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Fei circulated the Willow God Method and meditated to recover.

Before he knew it, another day had passed.

When he opened his eyes, pill fragrance filled his nose.

This scent was richer and more refined than that of the previous pills.

Li Fei slowly opened his eyes and looked inside the pill furnace.

A single crystal-clear blue pill, as transparent and brilliant as the sea, lay quietly within.

"Only one?"

Li Fei froze.

"It should be because the energy in the Myriad Year Whale Rubber is too high. Even the Wood Attribute can't divide it into a second pill."

"It seems my Soul Power Level is still too low. Once my Soul Power reaches the ten-thousand-year level in the future, perhaps I can try dividing pills made from medicinal herbs of even greater age."

Li Fei quickly realized where the problem lay.

The reason the previous pills had been so easily divided

was, first, that the medicinal herbs were all Plant Type, with very few Animal Type ingredients.

Second, the medicinal herbs had all been of low grade, under a hundred years old.

"One pill is one pill. It's better than nothing."

"At least it succeeded in a single attempt."

"Since that's the case, I'll call you the Peiyuan Pill from now on."

Li Fei muttered as he rubbed his chin.

If he called it the Whale Rubber Pill, then should information leak one day, outsiders could easily infer the ingredients from the name.

He had his own selfish motives. He did not want the effects of whale rubber to become known to others so quickly.

Otherwise, people across the continent would frantically hoard whale rubber, driving its price ever higher. It might even bring about wars between the various worlds ahead of time, which would not be very friendly to the harmony of this world.

After all, Li Fei was still in his growth phase and had not fully developed yet. He needed a peaceful and stable environment in which to grow.

When he picked it up for a closer look, it gleamed brightly, like seawater.

Its color, scent, roundness, and fullness

all satisfied Li Fei immensely.

The primary Medicinal Power within it still came from the Myriad Year Whale Rubber. The other medicinal herbs were merely supplementary ingredients, meant to better activate and draw out the Myriad Year Whale Rubber's Medicinal Power.

"Let me see what you can do."

"I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Full of anticipation, Li Fei placed the Peiyuan Pill into his mouth.

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth.

An energy even fiercer than that of the previous pills surged into his entire body.

Li Fei did not dare slack off. He immediately circulated the Willow God Method, guiding this oceanic power, like raging tidal waves, through every part of his body, inside and out, leaving no corner untouched.

At that moment, he seemed to be immersed in the sea.

The sea took on the shape of a Myriad Year whale and wildly battered every organ and tissue within his body.

It made him let out a muffled groan.

Then, his Capillary Pores opened.

That oceanic power forcibly washed the black filth out of his body.

A foul stench spread through the Mongolian yurt.

Fortunately, the Mongolian yurt was a living entity. It immediately activated photosynthesis and the Plant Breathing Method, expelling the foul-smelling gas from the room.

Meanwhile, Enjing and the others had just finished cultivating in the Mongolian yurt and walked outside.

"So comfortable!"

"It really is just as Li Fei said. Cultivating here is indeed more effective than in the Simulation Training Room! Our Cultivation Speed is much faster than in the Simulation Training Room too!"

"I only hate that I never realized this before. Otherwise, my Cultivation Speed wouldn't have been so slow!"

"We are Plant Type Soul Masters, naturally close to nature. We are nature's favored children, so why do we need those artificially created environments?"

"How laughable. Plant Academy has studied plants for so many years, yet it never even understood such a simple truth."

"Still, the sheer number of people is also a major problem. There are not many safe forests, and the Back Mountain Forest is limited in size. Simulation Training Rooms can also alleviate the drawbacks caused by too many people..."

The Enjing Seven Women basked in the sunlight and stretched lazily.

They took deep breaths of fresh air.

They were planning to go find Li Fei.

But at that moment, their expressions changed, turning green.

"Ugh!"

"What is that smell? It's so disgusting!"

"It stinks!"

"Did one of you poop your pants?"

"Hurry up and deal with it! If Li Fei sees it, our image as girls will be ruined!"

The women looked at each other, covering their noses and warily watching one another, afraid of being infected.

Unconsciously, they touched the indentations between their buttocks.

Only after discovering that there was no poop did they secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

At least it was not them.

Then where had this unbearably foul stench come from?

Following the smell, the women's gazes fell upon the Mongolian yurt where Li Fei was!

!!!!

Could it be that Li Fei had taken a dump?
