During the refining process, Gu Chen precisely calculated the proportions and combinations of medicinal herbs in his mind, which shows how confident he was and how unafraid of the risk of the furnace exploding!
The alchemy process took more than half an hour. Under the heat of the furnace, the entire cauldron began to hum, and a rich medicinal fragrance began to waft through the room.
The temperature of the furnace rose again, a sign that it was about to be finished. As the final moment approached, Gu Chen's expression gradually became solemn. About half an hour later, Gu Chen, covered in sweat, finally extinguished the fire and exhaled a white mist that landed on the furnace. The mist evaporated into water vapor as it entered the air, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Dan Yun!
This is a unique mark left by alchemists after they finish refining an alchemy. Although this is Gu Chen's first time refining an alchemy after being reborn, he already has plenty of experience!
"Successfully refined!"
A few minutes later, a look of joy appeared on Gu Chen's face!
Luo Heaven Pill, it's done!
Gu Chen stood up impatiently and then turned on the furnace.
Inside lay eleven Spirit Coffin Pill, each one translucent, round, and jet black.
"Top grade!"
Gu Chen let out a sigh of relief!
Pill refining is divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior. What originally took three hours to successfully refine the Luo Heaven Pill only took him two hours, and he even achieved the superior grade. He was quite satisfied!
"The Luo Heaven Pill can enhance cultivation and even heal injuries." Gu Chen looked at the pill in the cauldron, liking it more and more. After all, this was the first pill he had successfully made since his rebirth, and the sense of accomplishment was unparalleled.
"Eleven pills probably won't be enough; those four underground boxers and Zhao Bo all need them."
Gu Chen thought to himself, "I still have some medicinal herbs left; I can still refine them!"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took out the medicinal herbs again and began refining them!
A day passed just like that, and Gu Chen didn't finish refining until the early hours of the next day.
Then, Gu Chen took out some miscellaneous materials and began making other things that he had started preparing earlier.
He quickly finished making seven small, dark yellow flags, each about the size of a cushion.
"Eastern Sun Heaven-Suppressing Flag!"
There are seven groups in total; this is the method for setting up the formation.
Gu Chen had seen this item in the sect's records before. Although he couldn't successfully replicate the original with his current strength, and it wouldn't even qualify as a replica, it was enough for a martial artist.
The talisman flag is one of the essential tools for cultivators. With Gu Chen's mastery of formations, it would be very easy for him to set up a profound formation. However, if his cultivation and spiritual power are insufficient, he cannot fully exert its effects. Therefore, this flag was created to help him absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Spirit Gathering Array!"
In the room, Gu Chen quickly placed all seven sets of array flags according to the formation's orientation, and then placed the Jade Guanyin in the very center of the formation, serving as its core.
Relying on the Eastern Sun Heaven-Suppressing Flag, Gu Chen used the Jade Guanyin as the array's core, sat within the array, swallowed the Luo Heaven Pill, and began cultivating and digesting it!
The shimmering Jade Guanyin, under the influence of the formation, began to release layers of milky-white spiritual energy, which was then slowly inhaled through Gu Chen's Tianmen acupoint, mouth, and nose.
In just two hours, Gu Chen's face was filled with ecstasy and shock. The short time he had spent cultivating was equivalent to more than two or three days of cultivation he had previously undertaken! In other words, with the help of the formation and the Jade Guanyin, he could actually increase his cultivation speed tenfold!
Of course, a normal Spirit Transformation Array couldn't absorb all the spiritual energy from a Jade Guanyin in just two hours, and with his clumsy array techniques, it was even less likely. At the very least, it would take you a whole day!
In other words, he relied entirely on the incredible amplitude of the Eastern Sun Heaven-Suppressing Flag!
It's like grinding grain; the Jade Guanyin is the grain inside, the formation is the millstone, and the donkey is the formation flag!
The Eastern Sun Heaven-Suppressing Flag, like four or five donkeys pulling at the same time, naturally increases grain production several times faster!
Gu Chen was extremely excited. With the help of the Eastern Sun Heaven-Suppressing Flag, if he could find a place with abundant spiritual energy to set up a "Spirit Gathering Array" and gather all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the array for absorption, then even on Earth where the Dharma was scarce, he could still make rapid progress!
With that thought in mind, Gu Chen walked out of the room.
Looking at Gu Chen's exhausted face, Zhao Bo was suspicious, but still asked, "Master, are you alright?"
"Fine."
Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Do you remember what I just said?"
"What are you saying?" Zhao Bo chuckled dryly and said, "Although I have a modified version, the Undying Divine Skill is not so easy to cultivate. This disciple is already quite satisfied with his current cultivation level."
"I'm not satisfied!" Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Take this and go into seclusion. You must break through to the Revolving Illumination Realm within one day!"
Zhao Bo took the medicine bottle from Gu Chen, opened it, and was immediately greeted by a fragrant aroma that instantly invigorated him!
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Pills?!"
"These are Luo Heaven Pill," Gu Chen said calmly. "I'll give you three. Don't overdo it; they're hard to digest. Don't disappoint me!"
"Luo Heaven Pill? Master? You refined this?"
Zhao Bo's fingers trembled. No wonder he was so shocked, because pills were extremely rare in this world, not to mention alchemists, who were practically one in ten thousand.
He hadn't expected that Gu Chen, carrying a cauldron, was actually refining pills in the room!
And judging from the looks of it, it was successfully refined in less than a day!
"Of course," Gu Chen said in a deep voice, "Go into seclusion."
The Luo Heaven Pill is not considered a high-grade pill in the cultivation world, and may even be considered low-grade, but for martial artists, it is an extremely nourishing substance!
Moreover, a body that has never taken any elixirs is better able to absorb their medicinal properties!
Just like Zhao Bo!
Zhao Bo naturally didn't know the name Luo Heaven Pill, but he dared not doubt Gu Chen's words. He immediately returned to his room, but upon entering, he was stunned. Seeing the room filled with flags and banners, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Master, what are these?"
"It's for your cultivation convenience," Gu Chen said calmly. "You'll find out once you go in."
Gu Chen had already removed the Jade Guanyin and only set up Spirit Gathering Array, but even so, the spiritual energy absorbed was enough for Zhao Bo, who had taken the Luo Heaven Pill, to cultivate rapidly.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the formation, Zhao Bo sensed something different. It was as if all the spiritual energy in the world was crowding towards him, and the surrounding air was filled with spiritual energy!
"This is... a formation?"
Zhao Bo's face was filled with extreme horror!
For him, formations were something far more advanced and profound than elixirs! If alchemists in Huaxia were one in ten thousand, then formation masters were one in a hundred thousand!
He hadn't started cultivating yet, but his gaze towards Gu Chen was filled with shock and intense admiration!
At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had truly chosen the right person to follow!
