Refining Origin-Restoring Pills

That Foundation Establishment cultivator was only at the Foundation Establishment First Layer, clearly having just broken through not long ago, and did not yet have a suitable magic Law Artifact.

Looking at the Law Artifact in Chen Nianzhi's hand, he said happily, "I want to exchange it for that Golden-Whisker Sword and the Three-Sequence Diagram."

Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly. Both the Golden-Whisker Sword and the Three-Sequence Diagram were Tier 2 Low-grade Law Artifact. Flying swords were generally quite valuable, and the combined value of the two treasures was probably close to 2,500 Spirit Stone.

Although the Origin-Replenishing Lingzhi is a Tier 2 herb, it is relatively common among Tier 2 spirit medicine, and its value generally does not exceed 1,400 to 1,500 Spirit Stone.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "The value of your one Origin-Replenishing Lingzhi is probably not enough to exchange for two Law Treasure."

"If you really want to exchange it, you'll need to pay the difference of one thousand Spirit Stone."

That Foundation Establishment cultivator was just a newly Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator, and he was really short of money. In the end, he could only borrow from a friend and scrape together a thousand Spirit Stone to exchange for these two treasures.

After the replacement of Origin-Replenishing Lingzhi, both parties were completely satisfied.

Just as the deal was about to go through, several people offered spirit medicine in exchange for Law Artifact, but Chen Nianzhi didn't have the corresponding Pill Formula and could only regretfully give up those Tier 2 spirit medicine.

"It's a pity I don't have that many Spirit Stone, otherwise I could buy it and study its medicinal properties."

With a hint of regret, Chen Nianzhi stepped down from the stage. The trade fair was still going on, but the treasures Chen Nianzhi wanted to buy were no longer available.

After the trade fair ended, everyone left Heavenly Ruins Pavilion. Chen Nianzhi pondered that the Yi-Wood Earth Vein had not yet been opened, so he decided to refine the Origin-Restoring Pill first to improve his Alchemy Art.

He found Liu Rumeng, bought all the auxiliary ingredients for the Origin-Restoring Pill from the Heavenly Ruins Pavilion, and then rented a Tier 2 high-quality alchemy room to begin refining the Origin-Restoring Pill.

Over the years, Chen Nianzhi has refined several batches of Tier 2 pills, and his Alchemy Art have greatly improved. He has even achieved a 30% success rate in refining Tier 2 Low-grade pills.

The Origin-Restoring Pill wasn't too difficult to refine. He estimated his Alchemy Art and was already more than 60% confident.

Whether I can break through to the Tier 2 Alchemist depends on this one.

Chen Nianzhi muttered to himself as he processed the medicinal herbs, then activated the Earthfire Formation to begin refining the spirit medicine.

The auxiliary ingredients were all Tier 1 spirit medicine, so the refining process wasn't too difficult. He continuously activated the Earthfire to refine them, and in just half an hour, he had refined a ball of spiritual liquid.

Processing Origin-Replenishing Lingzhi is more troublesome. In order to prevent damage to its medicinal properties, he lowered the temperature of the Earthfire, which slowed down the refining process considerably.

It took the better part of a day to refine the Origin-Replenishing Lingzhi into a syrup.

Chen Nianzhi mixed the two lumps of spiritual liquid together and repeatedly refined them over a gentle fire. It took him more than half a day to successfully refine them, producing a 50% pure elixir.

"In the end, my cultivation level was too low, and I still suffered considerable losses."

He whispered, "If it were Tier 2 high-grade Alchemist, they could probably produce eight or nine portions of pill liquid, and the success rate would be much higher."

The crucial moment for condensing the pills had arrived. Chen Nianzhi carefully and cautiously refined them with True Fire. After half an hour, two pills were finally successfully refined and flew out of the Pill Furnace.

Chen Nianzhi grabbed the pills and placed them into the jade bottle, his face showing some joy. Not only was he successful in refining a Tier 2 pill on his first attempt, but he also achieved a 20% success rate, which was already quite rare.

"The Earthfire Chamber, ah, this is truly a wonderful thing."

He glanced at the forging furnace and muttered to himself.

The success of forming two pills this time was also related to the Tier 2 Earthfire Chamber. With the help of the Earthfire, the loss of his True Essence was reduced, and the success rate of pill formation was increased.

Having broken through to the Tier 2 level in Alchemy Art, Chen Nianzhi happily returned to the inn to continue awaiting the imperial decree from Heavenly Ruins Mountain.

This time, only five days later, the message came back: Jiang Linglong had calculated the exact location of the Yi-Wood Earth Vein and summoned the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Heavenly Ruins Mountain that very day.

When Chen Nianzhi arrived at the training ground, she found that everyone had already arrived early. The Foundation Establishment cultivators from Heavenly Ruins Mountain had all come here, clearly not wanting to miss this Yi-Wood Earth Vein.

"Nearly sixty Foundation Establishment cultivators." Chen Nianzhi glanced at the crowd, a thought flashing through his mind, "It seems that apart from a few who are in seclusion, everyone who should be here has arrived."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Linglong didn't say much and led them out of Heavenly Ruins Mountain.

The group's cultivation levels varied greatly. They flew eastward for 20,000 li, taking five or six days, and finally arrived at a desolate mountain wilderness.

"Arrive."

Jiang Linglong landed in front of a mountain range and said calmly.

Chen Nianzhi was somewhat surprised. The place in front of him was just a desolate wilderness, and it didn't seem like there was any Yi-Wood Earth Vein.

Seemingly noticing his surprise, Liu Rumeng smiled slightly and explained to him.

"This is your first time seeing the legendary Earth Vein, isn't it?"

"The Five-Element Earth Vein are formed by the convergence of the five elements of heaven and earth. Most of them are hidden deep in the Great Wilderness. Moreover, divine objects conceal themselves. This Yi-Wood Earth Vein will create an Yi-Wood Barrier to hide itself."

With Liu Rumeng's explanation, Chen Nianzhi finally understood the wonder of the Five-Element Earth Vein.

It turns out that this Yi-Wood Earth Vein is hidden within the mountains and rivers, and one must find the correct entrance to enter it.

While Chen Nianzhi was pondering, Jiang Linglong glanced at everyone and then continued speaking.

"Once this Yi Wood is activated, I will allow you to enter, but there are a few rules that must be followed."

"First of all, this Yi-Wood Earth Vein has been hidden within this land for many years, remaining undeveloped. There may be Demon Race formed from Yi-Wood Essence within it."

"Once you enter, you must obey my orders and eradicate the Yi-Wood Demon Race inside."

"Once we conquer this Yi-Wood Earth Vein, I will distribute the spirit medicine and other treasures we harvest within to you according to your merits."

After she finished speaking, seeing that everyone agreed, she Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword to pierce through the void, creating a ten-foot-wide entrance through the Yi-Wood Barrier.

Everyone glanced at her, their pupils shrinking slightly. Ordinary people would need to set up an array to barely open the entrance when opening the Five-Element Earth Vein, but Jiang Linglong tore through the barrier formed by the Yi-Wood Power with just one sword.

"Come in."

As soon as the entrance opened, everyone followed Jiang Linglong and rushed in.

As Chen Nianzhi stepped into the Yi-Wood Earth Vein, he discovered that the scene before him had suddenly changed drastically. The desolate wilderness had transformed into a treasure land filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, brimming with the Yi-Wood Essence.

"Huh."

In an instant, he felt his eyes flicker and saw a streak of light shooting towards him.

The one who made the move was a Yi-Wood Demon Race, whose cultivation level was only at the First-Tier Superior-Grade. The stream of light he unleashed was a natural talent Law Technique.

Chen Nianzhi pointed his sword and summoned the Separation Flame Immortal-Return Sword, cleaving the beam of light in two. The remaining force of the sword still held, pinning the Yi-Wood Demon Race to the distance.

After the Yi-Wood Demon Race was killed, the Yi-Wood Essence around it dissipated, leaving only a ball of Yi-Wood Quintessence.
