Chapter 273: Here We Go Again
This time, the mid-tier pill was of medium quality, and the Light Points produced were no longer white, but green.
As Ji Yang took out the pills, he also Absorbed the Light Points.
Mid-tier Spiritual Plants +1
The harvest of green Light Points from pill refining surprised Ji Yang.
He didn’t expect it to be mid-tier Spiritual Plants instead of a Superior flying sword or Yun Ling Dan.
Although it was just a seed, it would be faster to obtain mid-tier Spiritual Plants compared to fishing.
Once he refined a few more pills and returned to Jingtan Peak, he could expand the planting range of the spiritual plants.
This was certainly a great thing.
“Here we go again!”
“I won’t give up!”
The middle-aged man did not relent and urged Ji Yang to start refining pills again.
This time, he directly instructed Ji Yang to refine high-level pills!
Such pills were quite difficult to create; even senior Alchemists couldn’t guarantee their success rate, let alone beginners.
But Ji Yang didn’t mind; he took out several high-level spiritual plants from his storage bag and began refining pills.
The difficulty of refining high-level pills was much greater, as the melting points of the spiritual plants themselves were higher. Ji Yang could only increase his magical power output.
During this process, new problems arose, such as excessive firepower and inadequate control, leading to imperfections.
Additionally, if the refining time was too long, the potency would gradually evaporate, resulting in an inability to fuse due to various factors.
However, Ji Yang continued to adhere to his unique cooking technique.
Under Ji Yang’s method!
Soon, the pills came out of the Dan furnace again!
Although the success rate was low, with only one pill in the furnace, the blue Light Point within the pill made Ji Yang extremely delighted.
Cultivation level +1
The cultivation points that had originally reset to zero began to increase again!
But at this point, the middle-aged man beside him was so agitated by Ji Yang’s method that he was nearly distraught!
“Again!”
As a teacher, while it was correct to guide others, if the one being taught made no mistakes, wouldn’t that reflect the teacher’s incompetence?
Or it could be said that any teaching would do, which undoubtedly questioned the middle-aged man’s skills!
Moreover, he held a significant prejudice against Ji Yang’s pill refining technique!
Only when Ji Yang failed could he reasonably scold him and then insist that Ji Yang switch to his method of refining!
Ji Yang said no more and continued to refine his pills.
During the next pill refining process, Ji Yang gradually understood the quality of Light Points contributed by different pills.
Ordinary low-level pills, regardless of quality, always produced White Light Points!
Mid-tier pills would provide Green Light Points.
Only high-level pills would yield Blue Light Points.
To produce purple Light Points, it was most likely necessary to refine top-tier pills.
However, the spiritual plants required to create such pills were all high-level spiritual plants, with the main ingredient needing to reach the category of Top-tier Spiritual Plants.
Currently, Ji Yang did not have the corresponding materials in his storage bag and could not conduct an experiment.
Moreover, Ji Yang had yet to refine a top-tier pill, indicating the significant difficulty, which couldn’t be easily overcome with his unique cooking technique.
“Boom!”
After refining an unknown number of batches of pills,
finally, under Ji Yang’s skilled cooking technique, a loud explosion sounded from the Dan furnace.
A shockwave surged out of the furnace, and Ji Yang merely waved his hand gently to dissipate the explosion’s force.
The middle-aged man beside the Dan furnace, being only a remnant soul, was unaffected.
At this moment, the middle-aged man wore a smile, with a hint of relief in his eyes!
“Good!”
Ji Yang had finally failed!
Next, he could smoothly correct Ji Yang’s flawed pill refining methods using this failure as an example! He would then teach Ji Yang his unique pill refining techniques!
To his surprise, Ji Yang’s next words caused the middle-aged man’s previously joyful expression to darken quickly.
“I don’t have enough materials; should we not continue for today?”
The middle-aged man sensed the time and realized, without awareness, that Ji Yang had been refining until dawn.
He decided not to say more and turned to fly back into the fixed-point object!
“Ahem, let’s continue tomorrow! I will need your guidance then!”
A silence fell in the fixed-point object, and Ji Yang merely smiled silently.
His pill refining skills had greatly improved!
It seemed that today’s trial would not expose his identity.
But then Ji Yang thought of something and reached into his storage bag to take out a visual recording stone.
This type of stone works similarly to a camera, able to replicate the scenes at that moment.
Ji Yang extended his primordial spirit and watched the images stored in the recording stone.
In the footage, a young man, expressionless, was refining pills while holding the same Dan furnace.
Around him, others observed occasionally, appearing eager to learn.
The young man in the footage was Feng Yu.
The images captured in the recording stone showed the entire process of Feng Yu refining pills.
Generally speaking, such things are usually considered the legacy of high-level alchemists or replicas of master alchemists refining pills.
However, Feng Yu seemed quite narcissistic, as she recorded images of herself refining pills within it.
But this provided Ji Yang with an opportunity to exploit.
Although Ji Yang had learned how to refine pills, their techniques and habits were worlds apart, and competing like this would surely expose flaws.
But now, it was different; he could watch the images and then imitate them.
After watching once, Ji Yang shook his head slightly.
He murmured,
“What kind of nonsense is this! I can’t learn it!”
“Knock, knock, knock!”
At that moment, the ringing of a bell echoed from the Alchemy Room, reminding Ji Yang that it was time to go out.
Seeing this, Ji Yang hurriedly adjusted his expression and slowly opened the door to the Alchemy Room.
“Young master, it’s about time!”
“Let’s head over now!”
The elderly man outside smiled.
“Hmm.”
Ji Yang nodded.
Such a cold attitude did not prompt the elderly man to say more, as if this was already the norm, and he had grown accustomed to it.
Soon, the two left the inn.
Not knowing the way, Ji Yang could only use his powerful primordial spirit energy to observe the elderly man’s gaze, footsteps, and reactions to determine where to go.
Fortunately, he did not reveal any mistakes.
When Ji Yang arrived at a spacious courtyard within the city, he noticed many other fellow alchemists there.
These alchemists had differing realms but all wore expressions of slight arrogance.
This seemed to be a common trait among alchemists.
Most likely, it was due to their status; after all, there were not many alchemists in the Cultivation World, and those appearing in this competition were not ordinary alchemists, as most were already mid-tier alchemists.
And mid-tier alchemists were sufficient to serve as guardians for small families!
From the looks the others cast towards him, Ji Yang could also determine that the Dan Ding Sect still held some power, so he behaved even more arrogantly, regarding these alchemists with disdain.
Upon entering the courtyard, Ji Yang finally saw the layout inside.
The spacious courtyard contained many stone platforms for refining pills, and there were also several Heaven Demon Sect cultivators guarding the area.
These Heaven Demon Sect cultivators had considerable strength, unlike ordinary disciples.
It seemed this pill refining competition was not as simple as Ji Yang had imagined; perhaps there were other complexities involved!
But this was nothing to Ji Yang; after all, he would be leaving the city in two days.
