Chapter 356: Chapter 196: Spirit Level Elixir_2

Not only that, he also stopped work on the six acres of top-grade medicinal field within his Cave Mansion, no longer planting, preparing to devote himself wholeheartedly to the breakthrough of his spirit-level alchemy skills.
This was the first time he had paused in his farming since he transmigrated to the Cultivation World. Even when he was creating and evolving to the tenth layer of Foundation Establishment, he did not stop planting.
To challenge the spirit-level alchemy skills at the Foundation Establishment stage was far more difficult than evolving to the tenth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Because the alchemy skills corresponding to Foundation Establishment are of the middle rank. He had already crossed one rank to reach the high rank. Now, he was about to cross the second rank to the spirit rank. The skills of this rank correspond to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Coming to the fire department pill refining room, Lin Yi opened his storage bag and checked the amount of Gathering Mysterious Pill’s ingredients. He couldn’t help but smile. His master was indeed very generous, giving him ten sets of materials for a hundred thousand spirit stones.
Back when he was upgrading from the middle rank to the high rank, the pill he was making was the Gathering Yuan Pill, and he had purchased seventy to eighty sets of materials for a hundred thousand spirit stones.
The price of the Gathering Mysterious Pill, however, was more than ten times as expensive. In the outside Cultivation World, a hundred thousand spirit stones could only buy five sets of materials, and these materials in the Secret Realm were not as old.
In addition to the price, with the increase of rank, the pill refining time also doubles. The normal refining time for Gathering Yuan Pill is three days, but with his title’s speed bonus, it has now been reduced to less than two days.
The normal refining time for Gathering Mysterious Pill was more than four times that, at thirteen days. And for the same spirit-level Heaven Pill and Longevity Pill, it took a full forty-five days to make.
Regrettably, the title he currently has is at the third stage, corresponding to the high-level pill’s [Expert Alchemist], and all of its effects mainly work on high-level and below pill.
If he were to refine spirit-level pills, this title’s effect would be greatly reduced. Otherwise, with a 70% alchemy success rate, not to mention spirit-level pills, he would dare to try earth-level, including heaven-level pills.
However, although the effect will be greatly reduced, it is better than nothing. In addition to the title, there are other bonus effects.
Taking out a set of materials from his storage bag, Lin Yi also brought out his Supreme-grade Artifact Alchemy Furnace. When he first got it, this Supreme-grade Artifact Alchemy Furnace was short of just over 1500 experience points to level up.
However, it was found that not all high-ranking pills made can add experience, only Golden Elixir made, and the minimum requirement is of medium quality to add one point of experience.
Unfortunately, in order to quickly improve his alchemy skills, most of the pills he made were Gathering Yuan Pills, not Golden Elixirs which require more time.
Hence, the experience of the alchemy furnace only increased by a few dozen points.
Lin Yi had previously speculated about the upgrade of the supreme talisman. The realm corresponding to magical weapons is Golden Core and Nascent Soul, spiritual treasures are Body Fusion and Tribulation Crossing, and the way treasure is Divinity God and Refining Void.
In order to let the supreme talisman upgrade, it is naturally impossible for any high-level pill to add experience. Moreover, he guessed that after reaching 9000 experience points, probably only refining spirit-level pills could add experience.
He could only wait until he achieved Golden Core, to consider adding experience for the supreme talisman.
If he can succeed in breaking through to the spirit level of alchemy this time, perhaps any spirit-level pill can add experience below nine thousand.
Lin Yi gently patted the alchemy furnace, inserted a divine intent, then put in the spirit stones, activated the formation of the pill furnace. However, he didn’t use the pill furnace’s earth fire, but borrowed the earth fire.
The plan he set for himself was to first make Gathering Mysterious Pills for three years.If he made significant progress, he could continue in one fell swoop, using all the effects, including the title reward of Pill Fire, to increase the success rate of alchemy.
The [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title is now at the sixth rank, being able to accumulate twenty days of enlightenment chances. With a high failure rate in the early stages, the accumulated chance for enlightenment could bring him great help.
In this way, he began his plan to break through to the spirit-rank pill master. As the effectiveness of the earth fire in the secret realm fire system area is even better than the Pill Fire Formation of the supreme artifact itself when refining pills, he would spend most of his time refining pills in the secret realm.
At first, it was one month, and later, it was several months without returning to Golden Sword Peak Cave Mansion, most of the time he stayed in the secret realm.
Having been improved by Pill Immortal Master, the formation of the cave mansion would instantly alert him if someone attempted to intrude.
Over time, Lin Yi’s plan to break through to the Spirit Level Alchemist status has been in progress for three years, and he has spent 1.5 million Spirit Stones on the materials for the Gathering Mysterious Pill.
In the early stages of alchemy, due to the great difficulty of Spirit Level elixirs, the first ten batches of materials, based on the normal alchemy time, would last about six months. However, he used them all up within a month.
Late, due to the effects of his enlightenment opportunities and some teachings from Pill Immortal Master, he could last longer and longer. One hundred and fifty million Spirit Stones, representing one hundred and fifty batches of materials, would cost at least twice as much if purchased from the outside world.
When promoted from the intermediate to the high-level alchemist, Lin Yi used about seventy or eighty batches of materials to make the Gathering Yuan Pill that improved his cultivation level to the Golden Core Realm. Nowadays, the quantity of materials required for making Spirit Level elixirs has doubled.
Because the realm he crossed was too large. If conducted under the Golden Core Realm, the materials used for making Gathering Mysterious Pill would not be so much.
However, the progress brought about by these materials is also significant. He can now support the final Solidifying Pill stage in the manufacturing process of the Gathering Mysterious Pill.
He estimates that he needs another six months or so of enlightenment before he can make the final sprint.
Lin Yi also went to the Dan God’s Cave Mansion to report his progress to his Master, “Master, I have gained a lot from my understanding of Spirit Level Elixirs and have decided to extend the process by another year.”
Zhang Dao Xuan nodded gently, with a sense of nostalgia echoing upon his face, “Over these years, I have been following your progress in alchemy. Truly, the student becomes the master.”
“Your progress in these three years has been substantial. I think I may have underestimated you when I said that you would break through to the Spirit Level within ten years. At this rate, you will break through within just two years.”
“Master, I might not even need two years. When the time is right, I will use the special fire within me that cannot regenerate to increase the success rate of alchemy.” Lin Yi said with a smile, with a hint of preventive inoculation for Pill Immortal Master.
Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but stand up and pat his shoulder, “Good, I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
Lin Yi bowed and left the cave mansion, returned to the Fire Department Pill Refining Room, and began his final understanding of the Solidifying Pill stage. Given the present pace, he would indeed achieve the Golden Core within twenty years, as he had previously predicted.
It has been thirteen years since the last opening of the Heng Yuan Realm Secret Area. The next opening will be in five years, which is eighteen years from now. By then, it is very likely that he would have achieved the Golden Core.
After another half a year of enlightenment, Lin Yi felt the time was right. After accumulating the experiences of two failures, he began his final sprint.
At the start of alchemy, he invested the title’s Dan Fire. Indeed, with the effect of this special Dan Fire, the whole alchemy process was very smooth.
The speed at which the Dan Fire was consumed was a bit slower than when making Golden Cores. This wisp of Dan Fire could last a day and a half.
Although the effect of the alchemy title has significantly weakened, it could still shorten the alchemy process by about a day. Therefore, only eight wisps of Dan Fire were needed.
By the time of the final Solidifying Pill stage, Lin Yi activated the Minor Blessing State, maximizing the success rate effect.
Thus, after two days, a pleasant sound of success from the Solidifying Pill emanated from the Supreme-grade Artifact Alchemy Furnace.
The lid of the Pill Furnace opened automatically. A light blue elixir rose from the furnace. A set of materials could produce three elixirs, but because of the high difficulty and the effect of various factors, only one was successfully made.
When Lin Yi saw this elixir, he was filled with excitement. This was a Spirit Level Elixir! It was luminous and filled with a mysterious aura. He had finally succeeded in advancing his alchemy skills to the Spirit Level.
At that moment, the figure of Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan suddenly appeared in the Pill Room. Seeing the elixir above the Pill Furnace, his face was also filled with astonishment.
