Condensing the Golden Core
The process of forming the Golden Core Pill involves numerous spirit medicine and is quite complex, but Song Wen was confident and proceeded with each step in an orderly manner.
Under precise control, the spiritual flames sometimes blazed brightly and sometimes dimmed.
The furnace temperature is always kept within a suitable range.
One after another, the spirit medicine were thrown into the Pill Furnace.
Drop by drop, the medicinal liquid containing the essence of the spirit medicine was extracted.
Half a month later.
Song Wen threw a two-hundred-year-old Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch into the furnace.
The Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch is the most important main ingredient for Golden Core Pill, and also the last spiritual spirit medicine added.
Under the tempering of a suitable furnace temperature, the essence of heaven and earth contained in the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch is extracted.
The essence of heaven and earth gradually began to merge with the medicinal liquid refined in the previous step.
Once the fusion is complete, Song Wen can attempt the final step—condensing the elixir.
Just as the two were about to merge into one.
With a "bang".
The Pill Furnace trembled, and wisps of black smoke billowed out.
It exploded!
The first attempt to refine the Golden Core Pill failed.
Song Wen's expression remained calm, showing no sign of emotion.
He made no mistakes in controlling the refining process just now, but the pill still failed to Alchemy.
It can only be said that he did not fully grasp the key points of refining the Golden Core Pill.
His initial conception of the refining method contained flaws.
He closed his eyes, recalling his Alchemy techniques before the furnace exploded, and compared them with the Jade Slip containing his insights and Fang Pengyi's Alchemy process to find his mistakes.
One month later.
Song Wen opened the furnace again.
This batch of Golden Core Pill failed to complete in the final stage of condensation.
Another month later.
Song Wen opened the furnace for the third time.
After a 20-day refining process.
Sudden.
A soft, crisp sound came from the Pill Furnace.
That's the sound of the elixir falling to the bottom of the Pill Furnace after it has taken shape.
After nearly a year of preparation and refining, the Golden Core Pill was finally successfully refined.
Song Wen's face lit up with joy. He raised his hand and opened the furnace lid. A golden pill flew out of the Pill Furnace bottle that Song Wen had prepared beforehand.
Perhaps because it was the first time they had successfully refined Golden Core Pill, they only obtained one pill.
The number should be less than what is recorded in the Jade Slip experience; one furnace should produce two to three pills.
He did not stop refining the Golden Core Pill.
A month later, Song Wen opened the furnace again.
The Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch he used this time was the oldest one, with a medicinal age of nearly five hundred years.
Having successfully refined the Golden Core Pill on the first attempt, this time the process was much easier; all that was needed was to follow the instructions.
Twenty days later.
Song Wen was overjoyed. He had successfully refined the Golden Core Pill once again and obtained three pills.
After storing the Golden Core Pill in a jade bottle, Song Wen opened the array's restrictions, ending his seclusion.
He concealed his aura, avoided flying beasts Demon Beast, and lived a secluded life on the island for half a year.
For the past six months, he has lived like an ordinary person.
As the sun rises, they venture out to search for ingredients on the island to fill their stomachs.
They returned at sunset and went back to their cave abode to rest.
The reason he did this was because he had seen this sentence in a notebook left by a predecessor of the Beast Taming Sect:
"Severing the path of cultivation and returning to the fundamental principles of Human Race survival may help cultivate one's character and dispel the power of mental tribulations."
Song Wen didn't know if this statement was correct.
Perhaps even the person who left these words did not know this.
He considered these past six months as a rare period of relaxation since entering the Cultivation World.
Half a year without cultivation or using spiritual power wasn't entirely without its benefits. The spiritual power within his body had become much more stable, which could be considered a pleasant surprise.
Then, Song Wen went into seclusion again, this time for three years.
Over the past three years, he has continuously refined his spiritual energy and physical body in an attempt to Golden Core Pill in a perfect state.
That day.
The sun was shining brightly.
A gentle sea breeze is blowing.
The Cloudflying Beast captured several enormous sea beasts and the entire tribe enjoyed a hearty meal.
However, while the entire Cloudflying Beast clan was feeding, a rodent-like Demon Beast sneaked into their nest located on a cliff and stole three eggs and a baby bird.
The Demon Beast on the island Divine Ability and obtained food. Everything on the island seemed so harmonious.
It seemed that even heaven and earth were proclaiming that today was an auspicious day for forming the Golden Core.
Song Wen placed four Superior Spirit Stones at the four corners of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
The pure Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stone was forcibly extracted by the formation, causing the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the cave abode to surge.
However, that's not enough.
He then took out several thousand low-grade Spirit Stone and ordered the Ghost King and the Silver Corpse to shatter Spirit Stone all.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi within the cave abode increased once again.
Song Wen sat cross-legged, took out a bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid, tilted his head back and drank a large gulp.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid entered his stomach and transformed into a continuous stream of pure Spiritual Qi for Song Wen to absorb.
By circulating the Longevity Art, this Spiritual Qi was gradually refined and integrated into Song Wen's meridians.
The spiritual energy flowed like a surging torrent through Song Wen's limbs and bones.
Finally, the energy converges in the Dantian.
Within Song Wen's dantian, the spiritual power of the Longevity Technique and the Corpse King's Blood Refining Technique each condensed into a spiritual power vortex, clearly distinct, one yin and one yang, one black and one white, resembling the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), constantly rotating within his dantian.
These newly refined spiritual energies merged into the spiritual energy vortex of the Longevity Art.
However, the spiritual energy that the Longevity Art's spiritual energy vortex can contain has reached its limit.
The newly refined spiritual energy, finding no place to reside, began to slowly dissipate.
Song Wen's expression was serious as he continued to refine the Spiritual Qi provided by the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
As the spiritual energy within Song Wen's body accumulated, the spiritual energy of the Longevity Art gradually began to transform into Law Power.
Soon, six months had passed.
Song Wen has already refined an entire bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid.
The spiritual power of the Longevity Art Technique was entirely transformed into Law Power.
The next step is the second step in forming the Golden Core: condensing Law Power into Golden Core.
With a thought, Song Wen's mind stirred, and a jade bottle appeared in front of him.
The bottle stopper is removed.
A Golden Core Pill flew out on its own and landed in Song Wen's mouth.
Golden Core Pill enters the abdomen, the essence of heaven and earth contained within it suddenly erupts.
This essence of heaven and earth rapidly surged into the Dantian, merging with the Law Power cultivated through the Longevity Art Technique.
The Law Power gradually began to condense, and a golden bean the size of a sesame seed condensed into form.
As soon as the golden bean appeared, it quickly gathered the Law Power in its Dantian, intending to strengthen itself and form a true Golden Core.
Just then.
The spiritual energy vortex of the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> within his Dantian suddenly trembled violently, as if the balance of Yin and Yang had been broken.
The spiritual energy vortex lost its restraint on the spiritual energy, and the black <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> spiritual energy suddenly erupted, pouring out and filling the entire Dantian.
The newly formed golden bean-shaped ball suddenly disintegrated, as if it had been contaminated by the turbid energy in the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>.
Dantian tremor!
A sharp pain rose from within his Dantian.
"Puff!"
Song Wen spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his chest clothes red.
