C99

Although he already had Wu Jingtian, an Earth Stage alchemist, for the current Chu Clan, this was far from enough!

He needed an even stronger pill to make the Chu Clan Tiger Guards stronger quickly.

Under the Constellation Battlefield, more than twenty Hundred Rivers Tiger Guards could devour hundreds of Hundred Rivers martial practitioners and dozens of Canghai martial practitioners.

However, he could not swallow hundreds of people of the Azure Sea Realm!

With the pills in the Kunlun Realm, the Tiger Guards could not become stronger in a short amount of time, and even the grilled meat and wine were not enough to help them.

Only ants that were different from the others could try out the Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads, the Blood Brewing Dan Beads, and other medicinal pills.

Furthermore, his father had hidden injuries within his body. With the Rejuvenation Pill, which was an ant that could travel under the heavens, or perhaps an even higher level Rejuvenation Pill, he would be able to recover completely.

Gongsun Jiantian and Zhao Jun could also quickly recover their combat strength.

Even the blood essence of his life and soul that he had burned could be strengthened at a rapid rate.

This was especially true for the Soul Strengthening Pill, which helped him recover the Soul of War God even faster.

Every extra point in the War God's Soul, he would be able to obtain many benefits. His cultivation speed, fighting strength, and the methods he can use, will all greatly increase.

In addition, Chu Yang had a faint feeling that the pill refining chapter of the world of ants was not as simple as pill refining; it had even more miraculous uses.

Thus, no matter what, he had to concoct pills!

In the Kunlun Realm, no matter what method one used to refine pills, it generally consisted of six steps: placing medicine, removing impurities, dissolving juice, condensing pills, opening a furnace, and collecting pills.

Every step he took was very meticulous!

The order in which the medicinal herbs were placed changed. Adding an extra leaf or a hint of the medicinal root could potentially cause the pill forging to fail.

If the impurities were not removed cleanly, the pill's grade would not be very high. If there was too much impurities, the pill would turn into a poisonous pill.

Melting the juice must also be done cleanly and thoroughly.

Forming a pill was more important. If he couldn't form a pill, then he couldn't form a pill.

On the surface, opening the cauldron might seem insignificant, but if the timing and forging method were to go wrong, it might cause the forging to fail. For example, if the scorching hot metal sword were to suddenly be exposed to the air, it would definitely be affected!

Collecting pills seemed the easiest, but if it wasn't enough, then it would affect the effects of the pill!

All in all, he couldn't afford to make any mistakes in these six steps. The higher the level of the pill, the lower the tolerance for mistakes. Thus, it was very difficult to cultivate an alchemist. Furthermore, it was very precious for someone like Wu Jingtian to become an Earth Stage alchemist.

However, this was not the case with the ant pill refining method. There was no need to place the pills in order. What pill did it want to refine, it would place all the medicinal ingredients into the ancient brain.

However, these medicinal herbs had to be filled with ant zhenqi before they could be put in.

This was the most important prerequisite, otherwise, the pill would never be able to be refined!

Next, he would go to the other areas as well.

However, it was not that the juice could only be absorbed after it was gone. Rather, during the process of the juice conversion and the condensation process, the impurities could be removed, but they had to be cleanly removed without a single trace.

In any case, when opening the furnace to collect the pills, not a single impurity could be found.

Otherwise, the furnace would explode!

That's right, it wasn't a failure, but an explosion!

The risk was great, but once it was refined, the medicinal strength of the pill would be extremely strong!

Chu Yang first poured the medicinal ingredients for the Spring-Returning Pill into the ant's zhenqi, then placed them all into the furnace, and released the Iron Core Demon Flame.

Although the Iron Core Demon Flame was not as natural to refine medicine as it was to refine weapons, the power of the Iron Core Demon Flame was simply too strong.

Almost the instant it started burning, those medicinal materials were refined into juice. Before he could even regain his senses, the medicinal juice was completely burnt away, leaving behind a ball of black mist.

Chu Yang was speechless, this Demon Heart Flame was too strong, it didn't even give him a chance to refine it before it was burnt to ashes.

This time, Chu Yang only released ten strands of Iron Core Demon Flame. As expected, it was not immediately burnt, but the speed of melting the juice became extremely slow, and the impurities were difficult to come out from the medicinal ingredients!

Even though this was normal in ordinary pill concocting methods, it was abnormal in this world of ants. Chu Yang added a strand of the Iron Core Demon Flame onto the mix.

Not enough!

Add, keep adding...

When the number reached a hundred and thirty-six, with a "pu" sound, those medicinal herbs were completely burnt to ashes!

"As long as it doesn't exceed a hundred and thirty-six threads, it's fine. However …" Chu Yang frowned, "There are many other choices under the one hundred thirty-six threads. We must choose the best temperature for the flame!

Otherwise, the grade of the elixirs would not be that high. Moreover, a large portion of the elixirs would be burned away! "

Chu Yang continued to try, increasing or subtracting them bit by bit. If they failed, they would immediately start again and pile after pile of herbs would be used up.

It was a good thing that the Chu Clan had quite a few medicinal ingredients on hand. Chu Yang could afford it, and after trying for an entire day and failing over 300 times, he finally found the best temperature.

It was one hundred and eight threads!

Chu Yang took a deep breath and put the medicine back into the furnace. 108 strands of Iron Core Demon Flame gushed out and the medicine was quickly turning into juice.

At the same time, the impurities were also removed.

It was a lot of things!

Chu Yang could clearly see that the reason why he could get rid of so many ants so quickly was because the ant's true qi was also fighting fiercely within the herbs.

The ant's zhenqi could kill off all the impurities in its body, not to mention these yellow and dark class herbs. It was a piece of cake for him to remove them!

In addition, fighting against zhenqi would also help the medicinal herb turn into juice!

"Is this the power of ant's true qi?"

While Chu Yang was pondering, the juice had already started to solidify. Although there were still impurities oozing out, they were becoming less and less, the color was becoming more and more pure, and the shape was becoming more and more round.

Three minutes later, there wasn't a single drop of juice left, only a round, sparkling, and translucent pill.

Yes, there was only one.

The amount of medicinal herbs that Chu Yang had placed just now, if ordinary Yellow Rank alchemists were to refine it, they would be able to produce five to six Spring-Returning Pills.

In terms of numbers, Chu Yang could not even compare.

However, in terms of quality, this dan bead was of the essence. The effect of one dan bead was much better than 100 ordinary dan beads combined!

Next, he would open the furnace and collect the pills.

Originally, collecting pills was also a very difficult task, but refining pills wasn't difficult at all. From the medicinal ingredients to the juice to the pills, his ant zhenqi was always in there.

It was equivalent to having an invisible rope holding onto a pill. Thus, Chu Yang released his zhenqi and with a wave of his hand, the Spring-Returning Pill flew into his palm.

This was the first pill he had ever concocted!

900 years ago, and in this life, it was the first one!

When Chu Yang smelled it, the pill's fragrance alone made him feel refreshed and full of vitality. If he swallowed it, the effect would be even better.

Swallowing as he wished!

The Spring-Returning Pill melted once it entered his mouth. Immediately, a huge spring breeze blew across Chu Yang's body, making him feel extremely relaxed.

The injuries from the previous bloody battles healed quickly. Although they were not as effective as the Nirvana Techniques, the results were still quite good.

Even his lifeblood essence had become a bit thicker.

Although his soul blood didn't increase, it was still restless.

If it wasn't enough, he would eat more!

Taking advantage of the good feeling, Chu Yang continued to concoct pills. As for Han Qing, he had long forgotten about them. He was completely immersed in the pill refining world, not knowing the tiredness or the passage of time.

One day, two days, three days …

At first, Chu Yang refined it slowly, but after two days, he refined it to perfection. He mixed the ingredients with medicine, dissolved the juice, removed the impurities, collected the pills, and finished it in one go.

He could produce a cauldron of pills in half an incense stick's time!

There was only one dan bead per furnace, no matter how many herbs were placed inside, there was only one dan bead!

However, the size of the medicinal pills would be different.

The more medicinal herbs there were, the larger the medicinal pills would be, and the stronger the medicinal effects would be.

In addition, in the same amount of time, other people could only refine one furnace, but Chu Yang could refine several.

More importantly, the pill was of a very high grade.

It was completely pure. If he swallowed this pill, as long as his body could withstand it, there would be no side effects.

If anyone else were to find out, they would definitely be shocked. Those with ulterior motives would definitely attack the Chu Clan again, and even the Xia Emperor wouldn't be able to stop them.

All the warriors in the world, who wouldn't want to swallow a pill without any impurities?

However, there were very few who could produce a pure pill.

This was entirely due to luck. Not to mention the Earth Stage, even Heaven Stage cultivators might not be able to refine Pure Dan. How could they be like Chu Yang, with all of them being Pure Dan!

Chu Yang cultivated like a madman and swallowed like a madman.

After seven full days of refinement, he had swallowed nearly a hundred Spring-Returning Pills, recovering his body to its peak, and at the same time completely replenishing his blood essence.

His soul blood had also increased a bit.

Even though it was just a sliver, Chu Yang was already satisfied. 900 years ago, when there were all sorts of spiritual energy and treasures, there was no guarantee that there would be any recovery within seven days.

Chu Yang no longer refined the pills, but set up a Wolf Slaughtering Formation and opened up his meridians!

With enough pills to support him, Chu Yang's momentum was like a hot knife through butter. He opened dozens of meridians, bringing the number of meridians in his body to 981.

Only 27 meridians were left before he could completely open the ant's meridian map!

At this point, Chu Yang's body was strong enough to be compared to a high-grade earth-step weapon. Moreover, the red light it emitted was even richer.

On the ant's astral soul, a yellow light gradually enveloped the tenth ring of light.

There were signs of a breakthrough in his zhenqi.

However, Chu Yang was very clear that an existence as strong as Ant True Qi seemed to be only one step away from a breakthrough. However, this step required a very deep accumulation of experience before it could be achieved.

Chu Yang was filled with confidence. He kept the furnace, swallowed two pills, opened the door, and walked out.

Han Qing was already waiting outside the door. He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. The moment he saw Chu Yang, he wanted to go up and greet him.

However, he was stunned.

He instinctively felt that Chu Yang was much more dangerous than seven days ago. If it was said that seven days ago, he still had the confidence to fight Chu Yang.

Now, he was gone.

It was as if with a single palm from Chu Yang, he would die.

This kind of terrifying feeling completely wiped away Han Qing's complaints. Han Qing's body involuntarily bent down. Using his usual attitude toward the Xia King, he respectfully said, "Young Master Chu, the Xia King has agreed!"
