C16 Alchemy

When Lu Feng returned to his small courtyard, Lu Cheng, who had received Lu Wenshan's orders, had already brought two guards with him and rushed over to report.

After instructing Lu Cheng to find a book on refining, Lu Feng began to understand the refining system of this world.

After spending an entire afternoon, Lu Hong roughly understood that the refining methods of this world consisted of mixing various types of ores with various demon beast materials and forging the weapons and armor he liked. Rather than calling it refining, it was more appropriate to call it crafting equipment.

As for the grade of the weapon, it was divided into four categories: ordinary, precious, spiritual, and divine. Each grade was further divided into four ranks: heaven, earth, dark, and yellow.

Common weapons only relied on sharpness and hardness to win. They were relatively cheaper and could be considered civilian weapons.

A treasure was a mainstream weapon used by cultivators. It had a certain amount of special effects, such as increasing the power of martial skills.

A Spirit Treasure was a legendary item. It could increase the power of martial skills by a large margin, and on top of it, it also contained one or more martial skills, so as long as one used true essence, they could activate them. On the continent, there were very few people who could afford to use a Spirit Treasure to fight against enemies.

As for divine artifacts, it was said that they were created and used by a divine being. That was even more legendary. In the continent, no one possessed a divine artifact.

Moreover, Lu Feng discovered that the refining efforts here were mainly focused on weapons and defensive equipment. Almost no one would put in the effort to refine such a unique looking magical equipment.

Not to mention those innate treasures like the Primal Chaos Bell and the Primordial Lights, even the Immortal Slaying Flying Daggers, which were crafted using the Primordial Spirit of Master Magician Kuafu and Houyi, were absolutely all divine weapons among divine artifacts, ranked among the top tier.

Sigh!

Lu Feng sighed. Forget it, it was better not to think about it. The past was already the past. One still had to focus on the present.

After that, Lu Feng closed the door to his yard and took out all the ores from his Cosmic Bag. Then, he piled them all up in the yard.

Then, Lu Feng set up a spell formation to hide his presence in the yard and came to the pile of ores.

After standing properly in the middle, Lu Hong waved his hands and over a thousand kilograms of ores floated up from the ground, spinning in front of Lu Feng.

Lu Feng opened his mouth and spat out the Samadhi True Fire. It wrapped around those ores and started to refine them.

As time passed, under the tempering of Lu Feng's Samadhi True Fire, the volume of the ores continued to shrink, expelling the impurities and finally merging them together.

Seeing the metal liquid the size of a human head, Lu Feng smiled in satisfaction. He spat out another group of Samadhi True Fire.

After several rounds, the thousand jin of ore was finally refined into a fist-sized ball by Lu Feng.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lu Feng formed hand signs with his hands and stepped on the Seven Stars. One formation after another was formed on his hand, and he threw them into that ball of liquid.

After dozens of array formations had been completed, Lu Feng shouted in a deep voice, "Gather!" He pointed with both hands and a golden light shot into the ball of liquid.

With a hum and a flash of light, an ancient three-legged divine cauldron appeared in the air.

The divine cauldron wasn't that big, and was only about two feet tall. Its color was golden, and it was extremely ancient.

As Lu Feng looked at the divine furnace in front of him, he let out a long breath. His first creation had finally been completed.

Just now, Lu Feng had almost exhausted all of his true essence.

At this moment, he felt extremely weak.

After taking another look at the eye cauldron, Lu Feng sat down with his legs crossed and began meditating.

His cultivation had reached the thirty-sixth cycle.

When Lu Feng stood up again, he felt very comfortable, as if his entire body was emanating an indescribable feeling of comfort. It seemed that his Cultivation base was on the verge of breaking through to the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Feeling the true essence flowing through his body once more, Lu Feng was filled with joy as he arrived in front of the divine cauldron.

The cauldron's grade was not very high; it could only be considered an Earth Grade treasure. However, this was the foundation for Lu Feng's future refining.

Moreover, when he had better materials in the future, as Lu Feng continued to refine them, the grade of the divine furnace would also continue to increase.

"In the future, your name will be San Cai." As the sound of Lu Feng's voice faded, two ancient words appeared on the side of the cauldron. It was precisely the word 'Trinity'.

With a cauldron, Lu Feng would of course have to start refining the treasures and elixirs that he liked.

Taking out the herbs from his Heaven and Earth Pouch, Lu Feng grabbed a few stalks and threw them into the Trinity Cauldron in front of him.

Following Lu Feng's spell, a flame appeared beneath the Trinity Cauldron. The various medicines within the cauldron also began to decompose and melt.

Following Lu Feng's continuous chants, the flame beneath the cauldron rose and fell, continuously melting and dissolving the medicinal ingredients within the cauldron. Lu Feng, on the other hand, would occasionally add a few other medicinal ingredients according to the situation within the cauldron.

After working busily for nearly two hours, as the last spell of Lu Li was executed, the cauldron lid vibrated three times, and a dense mist rose up as a burst of strange fragrance assaulted his nostrils.

Done!

Lu Feng was overjoyed. He quickly opened the lid and took out all the pills from the cauldron.

He calculated that this furnace had formed eighteen pills, which was two to nine times more.

Although he was only concocting the most basic Qi Replenishing Pill, a low-grade pill that Lu Feng had never even bothered to look at in his previous life, this was still the beginning for Lu Feng to truly step onto the path of cultivation.

After a simple celebration, Lu Feng tried even harder to concoct four batches of pills. Including the previous one, there were two batches each of Qi Replenishing Pills and two batches of Cyan Spirit Pills. There was also one small pill, which could increase one's cultivation, one to replenish true energy, and one to heal injuries.

Taking out a few jade bottles, Lu Feng put away the two elixirs and then looked towards the remaining herbs. It was time to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Compared to the Qi Replenishing and Green Spirit Pills, the Foundation Establishment Pills were much more difficult. After all, they were pills that could help one break through to a higher level, and they were also pills that could help one truly step onto the path of cultivation.

After taking a Green Spirit Pill to replenish the primeval essence in his body, Lu Feng once again formed a spell and began to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

When the moon was high in the sky, Lu Feng, who had almost used up all of his primeval essence, finally managed to refine three Foundation Establishment Pills.

With these three Foundation Establishment Pills, not only would he be able to enter the Building Foundation Stage immediately, comparable to the Xiantian experts of the Tian Yuan Continent. Even that little girl, Lu Rui, would be able to quickly enter the cultivation state with the help of the Qi Replenishing Pill, reaching the Building Foundation Stage unimpeded and then breaking into the Jindan Stage.

Lu Feng believed that as long as he could keep up with his pills, it would be easy for him to let Lu Yueru catch up with him.

It seemed that after he had completed his foundation, he needed to help this little girl find a cultivation technique as soon as possible.
