Chapter 60: Learning Alchemy

Fei had already finished eating, currently discussing with white lotus "You have to be careful not to reveal you're true identity. Unless someone higher rank than them attack, don't help them" Them by he means Little Yan and Hao'er. Currently with white lotus strength unless sect master like character attacks, she can handle them with ease.

So fei wasn't worried about little Yan and Hao'er very much. He continued while giving her a storage ring "There are one million middle-rank spirit crystals and two million low-rank crystal. You don't have to hesitate while using them. There is three-piece of paper that I created for three of you. Give each, one piece. When you are truly in danger just burn that paper and I will arrive. Although my strength may be weak with Eyes of Void I can easily escape from anyone, so call me without hesitation when you guys are in big trouble."

"There are also some bottles in which I have put green dragon, ice phoenix, and golden roc blood which may be helpful for your strength. Also, tell little Yan to stop practicing Mountain and River Body Refining Art and Nine Elephant Spirit Art. There is one earth low tier art in space ring, tell him to practice it. Also, don't interfere with his relationships unless he encountered terrible trouble. He needs to learn the cruelty of this world and his mother did not allow him to cultivate."

"Yes, Young Master" White Lotus nodded.

"Remember if you can find powerful bloodline for Hao'er, try it or inform me," Fei said again then he moved his hand saying with a smile on his face "You guys should go"

"Young Master" White lotus said while her face was red

"Hmm" Fei was a little confused when he felt soft skin on his cheeks. Before he could even take advantage of this feeling, soft skin separated and disappeared.

He rubbed the point where White lotus kissed him murmuring "This girl"

Although the white lotus was older than him but matching her age with humans, her age would be one year younger than fei. So fei always treats her like a little sister.

Now fei was already a pro-disciple, so he doesn't need to do any task unless he needs contribution point. So he enters the fourth room of alchemy. He had already checked the cauldron and other items in this room. He now can take herbs and medicine inside the barrier; he also checked that jade on the cauldron.

There was some information on that jade. One was the name and history of this cauldron and another was a Spiritual Power, Cultivation Art.

This cauldron was called Nine Divine Dragon Cauldron made from nine divine dragons. This is cauldron had spirits and bones these divine dragon. There were also many divine materials such as Star core, Purple Fire Iron. It was a treasure of the divine level but its level is sealed.

Only by awakening each dragon, seals can be broken. Spiritual Power Cultivation Art he got from jade was called Destiny Star Spirit Art. It requires a person to sense different destiny stars and absorb their power to increase spiritual power.

These destiny stars are related to a person's martial spirit so in a way, one can only sense certain destiny stars if he has remembered the aura of related martial spirit. The higher the level of martial spirit, the harder it will be to sense.

This Destiny Star not only increases spiritual power but also brings a person to an enlightenment state. This state is the most important state for any cultivator even if they are gods because it will help them understand the profoundness of any law. But all of this depends on the martial spirit.

He then starts reading all of those notes of basic alchemy. There were five steps of alchemy.

First: Put medicine, herbs, and ingredient on the cauldron.

Second: Start fire; maintain temperature to slow turn them into spiritual liquid.

Third: Remove all impurities from controlling spiritual liquid flow and temperature at the same time.

Fourth: Increase fire to condense the hard state of spiritual liquid.

Fifth: Carefully condense the pill in the correct shape and use spiritual power to add a pill pattern on it.

These were the five steps of alchemy but adding pill patterns in a pill has vanished from the modern cultivation world. Pill pattern is formed with powerful spiritual power which can increase the quality of the pill without raise its rank. Pill patterns start from one to nine. One is the lowest and nine is the highest.

Pill pattern differs from pill to pill. To another only the same type of pill, the pattern can be added on the same type of pill otherwise it will not only have no effect but also degrade the pill to a low level.

So alchemist has to remember the entire pill pattern of pills they create. Fei was a beginner so he started with the Body essence pill. This required two bowls of the low-rank beast, three spirit grass, and one backbone of the low-rank beast.

He already had this inside barrier. This barrier is, in fact, a large space without huge amount of medicines, herbs and other alchemy material. But the only problem is, he can't use them for cultivation only for alchemy. So if he wants to use a thousand years or ten thousand years herbs, he needs to reach the correspondence level which is very hard at least in a short time.

Fei puts these materials on cauldron by controlling them with his spiritual power. His spiritual power was at a very low level but could hold these materials with ease.

This moment he was using both soul concentrations at the same time. He releases Star flames since he was a little more familiar with it. He controlled the temperature of this fire slowly burns and removing the outer layer of each material.

He slightly increased his flame temperature melting them into spiritual liquid. Any kind of spiritual thing can be turned into a spiritual liquid. The spiritual liquid is the essence of everything that it possesses. Such as now spiritual liquid is the essence of blood, bones, and spirit grass.

Blood essence stored energy, bones hardened these energies while spirit grass control energy as well as the hardening process. If energy is hardened then they can temper the body more quickly so in one sense blood is energy to temper the body, bones hardened that blood so in a small pill more amount of energy can be stored and spirit grass act as a regulator to control the hardening of energy. If energy is high then the person who takes that pill has to bear more pain and might even burst blood vein.

If energy is low then the person who takes that pill couldn't temper his body so, all in all, spirit grass maintains the amount of hardening for the final product.

This way a body essence pill works. Fei increased the temperature of flames to finally condense a pill. If his temperature is not high then it can't condense hardened spiritual liquid into a pill. Finally, a pill is formed since he was just a beginner; this could be the highest achievement as for pill pattern he didn't even think about it.

His goal was the second rank Snow Bear pill that is made of a snow bear that lives in a snowy mountain. These bears are a middle-ranked beast and consider powerful for awakener, true qi, and true essence cultivator.

Snow Bear pill can help him cultivate Mount Everest Snow Peak Technique. This technique is very important to condense Ice needle. Since Ice needles are soul type attacks which means in a general way he can't practice it. He first needs to create and condense ice needles in his soul then use it to attack in the opponent's soul.

Since this type of attack only works on living beings. He needs to first condense many ice needles in his soul and use it on the fight. To condense ice needles, one needs ice qi. Even if he can produce ice qi from his dantian, he can't make many ice needles with such a low amount of ice qi. Even if he tries then it will take days to finish making three or four ice needles.

He needs something that can turn the entire spiritual qi in his dantian into ice spiritual qi. Although Mount Everest Snow Peak's art is related to snow that doesn't mean he can't produce ice. After all ice or snow, both are made of water. It just required the correct condition to create water into ice.

His spirit roots have awakened ice elements so it is easy to turn snow into ice. If he can turn his own entire dantian spiritual qi into snow spiritual qi then he can directly turn them into ice since it is already in a type of frozen state with the help of the concept of ice instead of creating ice qi from his spiritual roots and filling his entire dantian which will take a long time to accomplish.

Ice is frozen crystal shape water, whereas snow is a frozen crystal shape water particle that falls from the sky. Ice is colder than snow because of its shape.

Fei just needs to cultivate Mount Everest Snow Peak Art then he could condense more ice needles in less time. Not only that but creating a Snow Bear pill will also increase his alchemy experience.

He starts alchemy, increasing his level in alchemy. Even though he failed many times, he knows failure is the mother of success.
