After releasing the azure yang devil fire, Liu Yu casually waved his hand, and it landed beneath the alchemy furnace not far away.
Sizzle—
In the fire aperture, the blue flames began to blaze fiercely, quickly completing the preheating before alchemy.
At the same time, Liu Yu's mind moved, and dozens of jade boxes appeared around him.
A thread of magical power flowed through them, opening them one by one to reveal all kinds of spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines inside.
Among the dozens of spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines, the most eye-catching was a spiritual fruit about the size of an adult's fist, glowing with a bright golden light all over.
Golden Spirit Fruit!
This item was one of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit. Cultivators with a metal attribute spiritual root could directly consume it and greatly increase their chance of forming a golden core. It was also the most important main ingredient for refining the metal-attribute Golden Core Pill.
Whoosh—
With a movement of his spiritual consciousness, the Golden Spirit Fruit, along with nine other properly prepared spiritual medicines, flew into the preheated alchemy furnace together.
The next moment, he formed one spell gesture after another with both hands, causing the flames beneath the furnace to burn even more intensely.
Ignition, preheating, purification, condensation, opening the furnace.
As a fourth-stage alchemist, a bona fide alchemical pill grandmaster, Liu Yu had refined pills countless times and knew every step of the process inside and out.
Refining the third-stage Golden Core Pill was naturally easy, with a success rate of over sixty percent.
However, the Nurturing Infancy Pill was a fourth-tier elixir, and one of the more difficult ones among them. Refining it was not so easy, so he had to treat it seriously.
Before that, he might as well refine a few furnaces of Golden Core Pills to get his hands back in shape.
After all, the spiritual herbs for refining the Nurturing Infancy Pill were rare and extremely difficult to gather. As for the main ingredient, the Sun and Moon Spiritual Spring, it was a consumable item; every bit used meant a bit less.
Sizzle—
In the spacious Alchemical Pill Refinery, Liu Yu's spell gestures moved fast and slow at times, and the azure flames grew large and small in response.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed. With a clang, the furnace lid rose, and eight pills glowing with a faint golden light flew out from inside.
Metal-attribute Golden Core Pills!
"Not bad."
Looking at the eight Golden Core Pills, Liu Yu revealed a slight smile and waved his hand, sending the eight pills into eight jade vials.
Then, taking advantage of the momentum, he began the next refinement.
Sizzle—
After a moment, the pale green flames once again blazed fiercely, and the bright firelight shone on the walls.
Amid the flickering firelight, time quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
Three days later, looking at the dozens of jade vials in front of him, Liu Yu was in a very good mood.
During this period, he had only failed a few times, and had refined the Golden Core Pills of the five elemental attributes to seven or eight pills each. For the time being, that was enough.
With a wave of his hand, he stored the dozens of jade vials into his storage bracelet, and nearly two hundred jade boxes appeared around him.
Looking down at the spiritual spring in the jade vial, shimmering with gold and silver light, his expression instantly became solemn.
Next, it was time to begin refining the Nurturing Infancy Pill.
Sizzle—
Ignition, preheating, purification, condensation, opening the furnace.
The refinement of a fourth-tier elixir usually involved more than a hundred medicinal ingredients at the very beginning.
Two or three hundred kinds was not strange at all, so the refining process was especially long. Without cultivation above the golden core realm, it was impossible to endure it.
Fully immersed in alchemy, Liu Yu did not notice the passage of time at all. In the blink of an eye, this refinement lasted for a full month.
