CHAPTER 425: A Warning Unforeseen (Seeking Subscriptions!!)
After drinking a cup of spiritual tea and completing his daily cultivation, Liu Yu entered his bedroom to rest.
Having gone without sleep for an entire month and engaging in various duels of magic during that time, even with his abundant energy, he felt considerable fatigue and needed sleep to recover.
As the night gradually faded, the dawn peeked over the eastern horizon. He had slept for six or seven hours.
...
The next day, Liu Yu woke up leisurely, all his fatigue now completely gone.
From the light streaming in through the skylight, it was clear that today was a sunny and beautiful day.
"This kind of pleasant morning is perfect for sleeping in," Liu Yu smiled, cutting off his lazy thoughts and forcing himself to get up and head to the alchemy room.
Although the weather was nice, this was not the time for enjoyment.
The war in Yan State might have concluded, but that did not mean the conflicts ceased; the competition among cultivators wouldn’t stop for a moment.
The path of immortal cultivation was like rowing upstream; if one did not advance, they would regress.
Upon arriving in the practice room, he took out the Yellow Mysterious Cauldron and several spiritual herbs, igniting the true fire to begin preheating the alchemy furnace and preparing for pill refining.
Now that his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation establishment, the effects of the "Crimson Origin Pill" he had been taking had greatly diminished.
After all, the "Crimson Origin Pill" was merely a second-tier high-quality elixir. Although it was quite effective for cultivators practicing fire attribute techniques, it was only suitable for those in the mid foundation establishment stage.
Early foundation establishment cultivators could not refine it, wasting its medicinal power, while those in the late stage found its power too weak to be worthwhile.
Over the years, Liu Yu had obtained a considerable amount of spoils from battles, and he still had some second-tier high-quality cultivation elixirs on hand. However, given Liu Yu’s extravagant cultivation methods, he couldn’t sustain them for too long.
The matter of refining the second-tier high-quality "Ascension Yuan Pill" should also be put on the agenda.
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, the preliminary preheating work was completed. Liu Yu concentrated, and the true fire beneath the Yellow Mysterious Cauldron suddenly surged.
Following the formula’s instructions, he carefully added the spiritual herbs into the cauldron in strict proportion.
Refining the spiritual herbs, extracting their essence, merging the essences, condensing the pill, opening the furnace.
With countless experiences in alchemical pill refining, Liu Yu smoothly controlled each step, ensuring that the heat was just right.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the longer the refining time required.
The "Ascension Yuan Pill" is a second-tier high-quality elixir, and even though it was a regular second-tier high-quality pill, the entire refining process would still take an hour.
Under Liu Yu’s methodical operation, the hour gradually approached.
A strange herbal fragrance began to fill the room, invigorating those who smelled it.
As time passed, the herbal aroma grew stronger.
"Now's the time!"
With his extensive experience in pill refining, Liu Yu determined it was time to open the furnace, and he immediately changed his spell technique!
In silence, the lid of the Yellow Mysterious Cauldron lifted, revealing nine plump round objects inside.
They were pale white and full.
It was indeed the Ascension Yuan Pill!
To succeed on the first attempt brought a smile to Liu Yu's face, putting him in a good mood.
He held one of the Ascension Yuan Pills in his hand, inspecting it carefully for quality. Once satisfied that it met his standards, he placed it into a jade vial.
Given his success rate of 45% when refining the "Crimson Origin Pill," it was not surprising that he succeeded in refining the higher-grade "Ascension Yuan Pill" on the first try, although it was somewhat fortunate.
