Chapter 286: Refining Dropping Dew Pills Again
"Let’s begin!"
As Elder Guan’s words fell, many alchemists in the arena started refining their pills.
Ji Yang was no exception. Although he had mastered the method of making Dropping Dew Pills yesterday, creating a higher quality pill was not an easy task.
However, Ji Yang did not care about that; if he could refine, he would, but if not, it was fine.
He was not there for the rewards of the competition.
Ji Yang repeated the procedure from yesterday with movements that appeared quite proficient.
Many people’s eyes were fixed on Ji Yang, as his unique method of refining piqued their curiosity. After yesterday’s competition, several alchemists had even tried to replicate his techniques in secret, but unfortunately, they didn’t see much success.
Now they hoped to learn some skills from Ji Yang’s methods, which might improve their own alchemy.
But this would prove to be a fruitless effort.
Soon, Ji Yang arrived at the final stage of shaking the furnace.
With Ji Yang’s organized technique, a wonderful aroma quickly emerged from the Dan furnace!
The combination of his increasing strength and skilled movements allowed Ji Yang to produce the pills much faster than the other alchemists.
Seeing Ji Yang create pills faster than yesterday, Elder Guan cast a kind glance and nodded slightly.
Regardless of the quality of the pills, this speed alone surpassed that of the other cultivators and was worth cultivating!
Beside him, Ren Yuning may not have had much insight in this area, but she could tell something from the astonished expressions of the others.
Ren Yuning took out a piece of information from her storage ring. This document detailed Feng Yu’s identity and her history over the decades.
However, the Feng Yu recorded in this document had an arrogant attitude, which was a bit different from the current Feng Yu.
Yet Ren Yuning did not question it; it was common for talented individuals to be proud.
Moreover, Feng Yu’s performance over these past two days proved she was not without wit.
Looking at her identity, it remained quite clean, and that’s what mattered!
Of course, while checking Feng Yu’s information, Ren Yuning did not forget her main purpose for coming to Heaven Demon City: to capture Ji Yang!
But despite the tight net laid throughout the city, she still had not seen Ji Yang’s figure.
Additionally, with her magical tool malfunctioning, Ren Yuning was momentarily at a loss and could only wait patiently for Ji Yang to reveal himself!
Savoring the aroma from the Dan furnace, Ji Yang maintained a calm expression and slowly opened the furnace.
Three Dropping Dew Pills appeared before him.
Unfortunately, all three were of lower-grade quality, but even so, they still contributed three Blue Light Points to Ji Yang.
Taking advantage of the moment to collect the pills, Ji Yang absorbed the Blue Light Points attached to them.
Cultivation +1

After finishing the pills, Ji Yang did not hesitate and quickly began to refine another batch.
During the time Ji Yang was refining his second batch of pills, excited shouts from other alchemists quickly filled the arena.
"I did it!"
"A mid-tier Dropping Dew Pill!"
Hearing the joyful voice, others looked over.
In his hand was a vibrant green Dropping Dew Pill.
With each increase in quality, the color of the Dropping Dew Pill deepened; of course, this was merely a visual cue. The true measure of a pill’s quality lay in the spiritual energy it emitted and its effectiveness for cultivators, which was the best way to determine its quality.
Coincidentally,
Other alchemists soon produced their own Dropping Dew Pills, but most were lower-grade, with only two successfully making mid-tier ones.
Among them were alchemists who failed to refine their pills due to being distracted by others.
Those who created mid-tier Dropping Dew Pills wore expressions of joy, as it meant they had advanced significantly beyond the other cultivators.
On the other hand, some alchemists who only produced lower-grade Dropping Dew Pills looked dissatisfied and continued to refine their next batch.
Meanwhile, Ji Yang remained undisturbed and continued refining his second batch of Dropping Dew Pills!
This time, Ji Yang absorbed the lessons from his previous attempts, trying to make some adjustments during the refining process to see if he could improve the quality of the pills.
With the support of the Ancient Soul in fixed-point object, Ji Yang understood that refining pills required more than just talent; it also involved mastering various techniques.
To create high-level pills, there were numerous factors to consider.
These included the alchemist’s experience, control of the fire, and the potency of the medicinal materials used!
The Heaven Demon Sect provided only mature spiritual plants, so the potency was not an issue; the key remained with the cultivator refining the pills.
As a beginner, Ji Yang had good talent and unique techniques, but there were still significant gaps in the details.
His ability to produce pills mostly relied on his powerful primordial spirit energy and precise control over his own magic. This allowed Ji Yang to manage the fusion of spiritual plants in the Dan furnace and make timely adjustments.
However, creating high-level pills could not be achieved with a single leap.
Unless Ji Yang spent more time refining and gained experience, it would be difficult.
Ji Yang was well aware of this; although high-level pills could provide cultivation points, striving for even higher quality pills was the goal for most alchemists.
Even if Ji Yang had just learned to refine pills, he shared the same ambition as the other alchemists.
Soon, Ji Yang’s second batch of pills was successfully completed!
As the fragrance of the pills wafted through the air, Ji Yang frowned slightly. Although he hadn’t seen the pills yet, he already knew their quality was still lower-grade Dropping Dew Pills.
He opened the furnace lid, and it was as Ji Yang expected.
However, what pleased Ji Yang was that this time he had produced four pills.
It seemed that this harvest was not entirely empty; at least his cultivation points had increased a bit.
Learning this skill meant Ji Yang had gained another way to increase his cultivation points, and as long as there were enough spiritual plants, it seemed faster than mining.
But then again, high-level spiritual plants were rare. Even the He Dao Sect only had a few hundred. A single high-level pill required various types of high-level spiritual plants mixed for their potency.
This led to the situation where the cultivation points gained from refining pills, while fast, could not match the volume obtained from mining.
At that moment, Ji Yang regretted not taking some high-level spiritual plants when he had the chance in the spiritual herb garden.
Now, going back would probably be too late.
Cultivation +1
Cultivation +1
…
After absorbing the Blue Light Points, Ji Yang didn’t dwell on it and began refining his final batch of pills.
The other alchemists saw Ji Yang’s rapid pill-refining speed and initially felt some concern.
But upon seeing that Ji Yang’s pills were all lower-grade Dropping Dew Pills, they quickly relaxed.
After all, this competition was not about who could refine pills the fastest or in the most quantity, but rather about the quality of the pills determining their ranks!
