Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 1670 - 1491: Alchemy for Experience
In alchemy, each step requires full concentration, every change has requirements that must not be taken lightly.
During the process, Ye Chen followed the pill formula, using the powerful Chaos Saint Soul Power to directly control the collision between two clusters of medicine liquid, and comprehensively controlled every minute change.
Eventually, the two clusters of medicine liquid fused together, transforming into a transparent and flawless azure blue medicine liquid.
In the subsequent time, Ye Chen also merged all other medicine liquid one by one.
Although it was Ye Chen's first time refining a Sixth-Order Pill, relying on his accumulated alchemy mastery and Master Qingye's alchemy inheritance, along with the Supreme Divine Soul Power far beyond that of a sixth-level Alchemist, all this was actually quite skillfully handled.
Soon, Ye Chen reached the third stage of alchemy—Combined Pill!
This is the final step to truly merge the medicine liquid into a pill, thoroughly fusing all medicine liquids together.
Boom—
Inside the Chaos Tripod, the Chaos Dao Fire suddenly intensified many times, accompanied by wisps of Chaos Ancient Energy, completely engulfing all the medicine liquid, and under the control of Ye Chen's Divine Soul Power, they instantly began to merge.
Boom boom boom—
The otherwise docile clusters of medicine liquid suddenly collided fiercely, erupting into brilliant radiance, the booming sound echoed endlessly, and the reaction became extremely intense.
"Hmph!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly, a chilling light emitted from his eyes, the overwhelming Chaos Saint Soul Power engulfed everything, quickly managing every subtle change according to the pill formula, swiftly and securely merging all kinds of medicine liquid together.
Boom—
Finally, the clusters of medicine liquid rapidly fused together, and the nascent form of the pill slowly appeared, a baby fist-sized cluster of liquid continuously floating within the Chaos Tripod, slowly solidifying, about to transform into a tangible pill.
Buzz—
However, just at the moment of success, the pill suddenly underwent startling changes, continuously vibrating, its originally circular shape swiftly twisted, forming tiny vortexes, and a vast amount of Spiritual Energy erupted forth.
Ye Chen's vast Divine Soul Power quickly covered over, trying to control the situation.
Boom—
However, it was too late, as the pill exploded all of a sudden, forming a terrifying wave that spread out, annihilating the void, powerful enough to shatter even Saintly Treasure Realm experts.
Ye Chen quickly closed the Chaos Tripod, suppressing and annihilating the destructive waves, preventing them from piercing through the Tripod.
Perhaps even Ye Chen hadn't expected that such a smoothly progressing alchemy process would end in failure.
It's important to know that it was almost the final step, just one step away from success, yet it failed at the very last moment.
Ye Chen did not continue with the second attempt at alchemy, instead, he began to ponder and reflect on why the alchemy failed.
Alchemy is a meticulous process that does not allow failure; a single mistake usually spirals into total failure, not just at a specific step.
In his mind, Ye Chen kept reviewing the entire alchemy process, seeking the reasons for failure.
Finally, he realized the reason for the failure was that he was a bit too hasty on the final step, causing the changes within the pill to accelerate, leading to incompatibility and ultimately, an explosion.
Having learned from his first failure, Ye Chen became much more cautious in his second attempt, constantly throwing in one pill after another, continuously refining them into clusters of medicine liquid, and constantly re-refining them, producing radiant clusters.
Soon, Ye Chen entered the third stage of alchemy again, and this time, he was much more cautious, no longer rushing, meticulously grasping every subtle change.
Buzz—
The clusters of medicine liquid continuously fused together, forming the nascent image of the pill, shining brightly, appearing notably extraordinary.
This time, Ye Chen kept the Chaos Dao Fire restrained; however, wisps of Chaos Ancient Energy continuously merged into the nascent pill image, being spun and absorbed, assisting in rapidly refining the pill.
Finally, after an hour passed, the pill truly took form, with a brilliant ray of light shooting skyward; this was Pill Light.
However, this Pill Light was isolated by the Chaos Tripod, and no Pill Fragrance was emitted from the Chaos Tripod.
Even though it was merely a Sixth-stage elementary pill, Ye Chen didn't want outsiders to know about it.
Gazing at the lively Rejuvenation Pill, there were six Pill Patterns upon it, crystalline and transparent, of superior quality, and with the addition of Chaos Ancient Energy, the effect of Ye Chen's Rejuvenation Pill was not inferior to the Sixth Rank Middle.
Such is the extraordinary efficacy of Chaos Ancient Energy.
Successfully refining the Rejuvenation Pill boosted Ye Chen's confidence immensely, and he continued to refine pills in the Treasure Pavilion in hopes of rapidly enhancing his alchemy mastery, and to perfectly comprehend and utilize Master Qingye's alchemy inheritance.
Time silently slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
During this period, Ye Chen persisted in refining pills tirelessly, and after assimilating Master Qingye's alchemy inheritance, his alchemy mastery greatly improved, eventually resulting in him successfully refining a Seventh-rank Early Stage Pill.
However, to refine this pill, Ye Chen had to endure thirteen failures before succeeding, unfortunately consuming countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, causing great losses, ultimately it succeeded only once, and the quality was just average.
Furthermore, refining a Seventh-rank Early Stage Pill doesn't necessarily mean Ye Chen has reached the level of a seventh-level Alchemist; it's more a matter of luck.
Generally speaking, a true seventh-level Alchemist can succeed once in every three attempts, representing true qualification.
Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless about this.
In fact, for Ye Chen to reach the sixth-level pinnacle Alchemist within just ten days, it already showcased his astonishing talent in alchemy, particularly since not long ago, his alchemy level was just at Sixth-Order Early Stage.
To leap to such levels in ten days would shock the external world, as few in history have improved at such a rapid pace within a short period.
However, facing the grand Pill Scripture Tournament less than half a month away, still, the sixth-level pinnacle alchemy level appears far from sufficient.
Because of this, Ye Chen increasingly felt his hopes to triumph in the Pill Scripture Tournament were slim.
