In the fourth furnace, Qin Chen refined four Holy Source Pills, and one of them reached the middle grade.
Yet, Qin Chen was still dissatisfied.
In the fifth furnace, he successfully refined six pills at once, two of which reached the middle grade.
“Still not good enough.” Qin Chen shook his head repeatedly; he needed to be absolutely certain, after all, the Time Dao Essence only had three pills, leaving no room for error.
Mo Yuanbai was already dazed, his master’s progress was too rapid, and as his assistant, he simply couldn't keep up with Qin Chen's pace.
“Watch closely. If, by the time I finish refining, you still don't know how to refine Holy Pills, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you.” Qin Chen warned Mo Yuanbai.
“Yes, disciple will definitely work hard.” Mo Yuanbai hurriedly replied, not daring to show any slackness.
Sixth furnace! Seventh furnace! Fifteenth furnace! Eighteenth furnace! Twenty-seventh furnace! Boom! But when Qin Chen opened the twenty-seventh furnace, suddenly nine pills shot up into the sky, dazzling like stars, radiating brilliant light, and each pill bore mysterious pill patterns. Among them, three pills reached the upper grade, while six were middle grade.
The big black cat was already shocked beyond measure; firstly, it was astonishing that Qin Chen could continuously refine twenty-seven furnaces of pills. It should be noted that refining Holy Pills was akin to battling a master in the Holy Realm with each furnace, which was immensely tiring and mentally exhausting. Yet, Qin Chen managed it effortlessly, and this was closely related to his terrifying soul power.
Secondly, it was shocking that after just twenty-seven furnaces, the number of pills had increased from three to nine, changing from all being lower grade to all being upper and middle grade. Such progress was simply exaggerated.
Of course, during this period, the spiritual herbs Qin Chen had consumed were astronomical. Fortunately, Ling Lingtong and the others had plundered a fortune in their storage rings, which allowed him to maintain such extravagance.
“Almost there.” Qin Chen sighed, “It’s really tough; nearly a month has passed, and I’ve finally touched the threshold.”
Upon hearing this, the big black cat wanted to slap Qin Chen in the face.
You managed to refine such perfect Holy Pills in just a month, what more do you want?
Is becoming a Holy Pill Refiner so easy?
Even in the heavenly realm, a Holy Pill Refiner is enough to catch the attention of major forces, even if they are just a mortal Holy Realm Pill Refiner.
Qin Chen proceeded to refine a few more furnaces, and the success rate was naturally without issue. However, every time he made pills, it was only nine at most, and he could never achieve the perfect twelve. Additionally, the grades were mostly fluctuating between upper and middle grade, with the best result being six upper grade and four middle grade.
As for the top grade, not a single one was produced!
“Seems like I’ve hit a bottleneck.” Qin Chen sighed.
Refining pills is like this; entering the realm is quick, but truly reaching the peak is incredibly difficult, as if there were a mysterious force in the heavens and earth, preventing anyone from easily reaching the pinnacle.
Even Qin Chen found it so.
There is nothing in this world that can be done to perfection easily.
However, at this stage, refining the Eternal Years Pill was almost within reach.
“Big black cat, what’s the formula for the Eternal Years Pill?” Qin Chen asked.
Fortunately, the big black cat knew this formula; otherwise, Qin Chen would definitely go crazy.
He began refining.
Although the Eternal Years Pill was impressive, it was still a Holy Pill, and could be refined at the mortal Holy Realm level. However, to successfully refine it, the key point was to have some understanding of the laws of time; otherwise, even with the formula and materials, it couldn’t be done.
Luckily, Qin Chen had the origin of time, which made this point completely unproblematic.
