The Opportunity to Reach the Organ Refinement Realm, the Organ Refinement Pill!

Selling Beauty Pills would definitely bring Su Xing enormous profits.

But Su Xing still did not know exactly how much profit they would bring. He would find out once he brought the Li Fire Alchemy Technique out of the Simulator and successfully refined a batch of Beauty Pills.

In the fifth year, after refining the Low-Grade Beauty Pill and achieving financial freedom, you prepared to continue deepening your research into the Li Fire Alchemy Technique.

You had astonishing perseverance. You spent a year memorizing all 360 Pill Recipes of the Li Fire Alchemy Technique and every step involved. However, lacking spirit herbs, you were unable to successfully refine any pills.

In the sixth year, Wang Qingxuan came to see you one day. Over the years, Wang Qingxuan had kept little contact with you out of fear of being exposed.

Wang Qingxuan brought you the first half of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique. Confused, you asked her where the lower half was.

Wang Qingxuan said that her authority was insufficient. She would need to reach Elder rank before she could exchange for the Evergreen Cultivation Technique Lower Half.

Su Xing was overjoyed when he saw this. Though he had not obtained the Evergreen Cultivation Technique Lower Half, at least it proved that the Advent Sect really did possess it!

As for needing to wait until reaching Elder rank to exchange for it, according to previous simulations, Elders in the Advent Sect needed to reach Heavenly King Level in strength.

Although Su Xing could not yet obtain the Evergreen Cultivation Technique Lower Half, he had plenty of time and could conduct countless simulations. Sooner or later, he would come into contact with it.

At that thought, a weight lifted from Su Xing's heart.

After all, only by obtaining the Evergreen Cultivation Technique Lower Half would he have any hope of becoming a Void Returning Stage Cultivator. Only then could he go to the Azure Cloud Sect and find his useless master, Azure Cloud Master.

You gave Wang Qingxuan some Beauty Pills. She liked your gift very much, and that night, the two of you tried some new positions.

You did not choose to join the Advent Sect, instead continuing to focus on researching immortal arts.

In the seventh year, after seven years of cultivation, your Spirit Chickens had bred to the Seventh Generation. The Seventh Generation Spirit Chickens were clearly highly intelligent, even comparable to certain highly intelligent dog breeds.

You ate Spirit Rice every day and several Spirit Chicken Eggs as well. Although you had not cultivated much over the years, you still became a Bone Forging Realm Ninth Level Cultivator.

You began planning how to break through to the third major realm of body cultivators, the Organ Refinement Realm.

One day, you learned of your little sister's death and attended her funeral.

You knew that Su Nian'an had died in the Demon Suppressing Pass Dungeon, but your current strength was insufficient to change anything. Thus, you became even more absorbed in studying immortal arts and improving your strength.

You lacked a Body Tempering Cultivation Technique, so you could only continue feeling your way forward along the Body Tempering Lineage.

One day, while studying the Li Fire Alchemy Technique, you suddenly recalled that one of its recipes was for a pill called the Organ Refinement Pill. It seemed capable of strengthening the human body's Five Viscera and Six Bowels. Since the Organ Refinement Realm perhaps required strengthening the Five Viscera and Six Bowels, you began attempting to refine the Organ Refinement Pill.

However, according to the Li Fire Alchemy Technique's description, the Mansion Refining Pill differed from the previous Beauty Pills and Grain Abstinence Pills. Among the 360 pill recipes, it could rank as a low-grade pill. Its refining difficulty was worlds apart from those two Unranked Pills.

In the eighth year, after painstakingly studying the Mansion Refining Pill for a year and simulating the process countless times in your mind, you still lacked an immortal herb called Yellow Immortal Essence.

Yellow Immortal Essence was the main ingredient in the Mansion Refining Pill. Consuming it could replenish qi and nourish yin, strengthen the spleen, moisten the lungs, and benefit the kidneys. It was highly beneficial to the human body's Five Viscera and Six Bowels. However, the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique also mentioned that Yellow Immortal Essence was difficult to cultivate. It favored shady, watery environments and required at least three years of planting before it could be used as medicine.

Thus, over the next three years, you studied the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique while cultivating Yellow Immortal Essence.

In the eleventh year, after three years of cultivation, you successfully grew several stalks of Yellow Immortal Essence and began trying to refine Five Organ Pills.

You had simulated the process of refining Five Organ Pills hundreds of times in your mind, but when you actually tried it, you discovered that it was far more difficult than you had imagined.

The first problem was your insufficient control over the Li Fire Technique. Refining a batch of Five Organ Pills required simmering them for several hours, and the spiritual energy and mana in your body simply could not sustain you for that long.

So, while gripping Spirit Stones to replenish your spiritual energy, you used the Li Fire Technique to refine the Five Organ Pills.

You barely maintained it for several hours, exhausting yourself completely. Then, you opened the furnace to retrieve the pills, only to discover that the Five Organ Pills had not formed at all. Your control of the heat was simply too poor, and you had refined them into a black, mushy lump.

Su Xing was speechless at the sight. He muttered:

"Refining Five Organ Pills is on a completely different level from pills like Beauty Pills and Grain Abstinence Pills... With my alchemy skills in the Simulator, refining Five Organ Pills is still too much of a stretch. Maybe I should first learn to refine some other pills?"

An idea struck Su Xing, and he continued the simulation.

You temporarily gave up on refining Five Organ Pills and instead began learning to refine other Unranked Pills. After researching them, you discovered that you could currently refine an unranked medicine called Qi Gathering Powder.

Qi Gathering Powder was powdery in form. Its ingredients included Spirit Stones, spirit spring water, Spirit Rice, and several other herbs as supplementary materials.

Qi Gathering Powder could slightly increase a Cultivator's spiritual energy reserves for a short period of time.

You began devoting yourself to developing Qi Gathering Powder. Since you already had alchemy experience, your progress in learning it was relatively quick.

In the twelfth year, you successfully refined Qi Gathering Powder. You took a mouthful and felt the spiritual energy in your body increase by roughly ten percent, lasting for about fifteen minutes.

In the thirteenth year, after a year of improvements, you could refine high-quality Qi Gathering Powder. After consuming it, your spiritual energy increased by twenty percent and lasted for thirty minutes.

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction at this. The materials for Qi Gathering Powder were abundant, and he still had nearly a thousand spirit herbs on hand! Moreover, its effects were indeed impressive. Increasing his spiritual energy would not only raise his combat strength, but also make refining pills much easier.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

One day, a dignified middle-aged man came to find you. He told you that he was Jin Congxue's father and brought news of Jin Congxue's death.

Sorrow rose in your heart. The man then explained why he had come. He had found Grain Abstinence Pills among Jin Congxue's belongings. He said that these pills were of great importance to the Great Xia Military and asked whether you could provide Grain Abstinence Pills.

After hesitating for a moment, you admitted that you had personally refined the Grain Abstinence Pills. At the same time, you took out one thousand Grain Abstinence Pills, all the ones you had accumulated over the years.

Jin Congxue's father excitedly accepted the Grain Abstinence Pills. He gave you two hundred million Great Xia Coins as payment and asked you to refine a batch of one hundred thousand Grain Abstinence Pills.

Curious, you asked why he needed such a large quantity of Grain Abstinence Pills.

After hesitating for a moment, he told you the reason. Humanity's situation in the Demon Suppressing Pass was becoming increasingly difficult, with a particular shortage of Professionals. These Grain Abstinence Pills could ensure that Master Rank Professionals would not go hungry for three days, making them extremely useful on the battlefield.

You agreed to help the Great Xia Military refine Grain Abstinence Pills, but you also made a request: you wanted to meet with the Great Xia Military's upper command.

Through Jin Congxue's father's arrangements, you successfully met one of the Great Xia Military's commanders...
