Chapter 137: Pill Refining Rate

Chapter 137 – Pill Refining RateSu Jingzhen’s spiritual power surged into the inscription on the Black Mountain Pill Furnace in front of him, igniting a fierce blaze.

Then, he swiftly entered the alchemy state, placing the ten portions of Breaking Through Adversity Pill ingredients beside him. seaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At this moment, with his wood attribute spiritual roots, Su Jingzhen felt a stronger affinity with these medicinal ingredients.

His understanding of pharmacology became clearer as well.

He felt as if his wood spiritual roots had opened up another layer of connection, adding to his excitement.

Following his previous experience, he sequentially added the Breaking Through Adversity Pill ingredients into the pill furnace, controlling the flames and integrating the herbs seamlessly.

Soon, a fragrance wafted from the pill furnace once more.

Su Jingzhen immediately tapped the furnace, and a round Breaking Through Adversity Pill flew out.

Examining the pill, a smile crept onto his lips.

This quality seemed to be a little higher than the Breaking Through Adversity Pill that Feng Qingya had previously identified as the top-grade.

“I wonder what rating Miss Feng will give to this pill,” Su Jingzhen thought, his anticipation growing.

Without pausing, he continued to add the remaining Breaking Through Adversity Pill ingredients into the furnace.

After about an hour, he depleted all the ingredients.

Surprisingly, he produced eight pills this time!

Although two failed to form, he knew where the flaws lay.

With the Black Mountain Pill Furnace and the enhancement of his wood spiritual roots, his pill refining rate increased to eighty percent.

Considering he had only advanced to the second-tier pill master a few days ago and his current poor physical condition, achieving an eighty percent success rate was terrifyingly impressive.

“If I were at my peak, perhaps I could maintain a one hundred percent success rate like when I refined the Qi-replenishing pill. The enhancement of the wood’s spiritual roots was truly worth it,” Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his excitement evident.

He then selected one pill from the eight and swallowed it without hesitation.

While the primary effect of the Breaking Through Adversity Pill was to increase the probability of breakthroughs, it also had some healing properties.

As the pill dissolved in his mouth, a surge of energy spread through his body, far gentler than the body tempering liquid he had previously ingested.

It left a warm and tingling sensation in his damaged flesh and meridians.

Without waiting for the pill’s energy to fully disperse within him, he stood up once again and began performing the movements of the Python Scales Power.

While his Dantian remained shattered, body tempering was still his foundation.

The Python Scales Power maximized his absorption of the Breaking Through Adversity Pill’s energy.

After a few cycles of the Python Scales Power, he had absorbed almost all the energy from the pill.

At this moment, he felt his condition improve slightly, though still far from recovery.

Su Jingzhen refrained from swallowing another Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

He knew well that this wasn’t candy; overindulging would do more harm than good unless it was absolutely necessary.

“Now that the major injuries are gone, these minor ones will slowly heal on their own. I just wonder if that person in black is still outside,” Su Jingzhen muttered, casting a cautious glance outside.

As a cultivator focusing on body refinement, he had reached the second level of Qi cultivation. Although he wouldn’t starve to death, after getting used to eating, he still felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

“Never mind, I’ll investigate once I’m fully recovered. At least in this strange place within the canyon, that old guy can’t enter, so I won’t be in any life-threatening danger.”

After calming himself with these thoughts, he redirected his gaze towards the center of the anomaly.

Now at the fourth level of Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo cultivation, Su Jingzhen couldn’t resist the urge to attempt further progress.

With a determined thought, he moved toward the thick fog once again.

When he had reached the third level of Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo cultivation, he could only walk fifteen steps towards the center.

But now, despite the pressure and the sharp sword intent in the mist, he managed to take twenty steps forward!

In this position, the unique energy in the air became even more concentrated and they were easily absorbed by him.

“Even though it’s my first time reaching this position, this energy feels strangely familiar, almost like my blood qi,” Su Jingzhen muttered in shock, his eyes filled with endless doubt.

“Could this be what Shuang Jiang referred to as ‘fortuitous encounter’?”

As he looked towards the fog-shrouded center, he felt that breaking through two more minor realms might allow him to reach that position completely.

By then, he might uncover the secrets of this strange place.

So, without any haste, he retreated a step and sat down, allowing the special energy in the air to enter his body.

He didn’t continue practicing the Python Scales Power; influenced by Shuang Jiang, he understood the importance of steady progress.

Just sitting still in this position was immensely beneficial.

Time passed slowly and another day went by in this monotonous state.

【Days until the permanent shattering of the host’s Dantian: 487!】

【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang 15, Zhang Xiu 4, Feng Qingya 2, Luo Yuebai 2】

【Remaining usable points: 68】

The next morning, Su Jingzhen stood up from his meditation position.

The fixed points arrived as usual.

After a day and night of recuperation, his injuries had almost fully healed.

This was one of the few advantages of Body Cultivation. If a Qi cultivator of the same level had suffered such injuries, they wouldn’t have recovered as quickly.

Now, Su Jingzhen felt better than ever before.

“Perhaps today I should go out and take a look. Even if that person in black is still outside, with the existence of this strange place, I stand unbeatable,” he thought, already striding towards the exit.

Meanwhile, at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, around the same time, a group of elegantly dressed individuals entered and headed straight to the second floor.
