Chapter 153: Stable Pill Formation Rate

Seeing Feng Qingya’s expression change, Yan Xia’s heart suddenly felt a chill.Her face turned gloomy.

At this time, Feng Qingya had already released her hand.

“I didn’t detect any special physique in you, but maybe it’s because my cultivation is not enough.”

Feng Qingya’s tone was quite calm when she said this.

Before Yan Xia could respond, she continued, “Just because I couldn’t detect it doesn’t mean you’re not a special physique. Don’t mention this to anyone else for now. After I’m done with my current tasks, I’ll think of a way to help you verify it.”

Feng Qingya’s tone was quite serious at this time.

Yan Xia, who had been feeling extremely disappointed, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

She subconsciously asked, “Really?”

Feng Qingya smiled slightly: “Although I’m just a woman, my words are as good as a promise. I’ve never had the habit of deceiving anyone.”

As soon as she said this, Yan Xia solemnly bowed to Feng Qingya: “No matter the outcome, I, Yan Xia, thank you for your kindness, Master Feng!”

Just Feng Qingya’s previous words were enough to give Yan Xia a glimpse of hope for the future.

This was also the motivation for her to persevere.

As long as Feng Qingya could verify that she was indeed a special physique, there would definitely be a way to awaken her.

At that time, she might not soar to great heights, but she would definitely not remain at the bottom like she was now.

From Yan Xia’s previous attitude towards Su Jingzhen, it was clear that she was an extremely ambitious person.

She could even be said to be ruthless in achieving her goals, willing to endure many things.

People with such a personality often did very well in the cultivation world.

Seeing the hope in Yan Xia’s eyes, Feng Qingya nodded slightly and didn’t say anything more.

She turned around and left.

At this time, she was also feeling a bit surprised.

When she had examined Yan Xia earlier, she hadn’t detected any special physique.

But one thing was certain – Yan Xia seemed to be slightly different from ordinary people. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was a very subtle feeling.

Feng Qingya’s thoughts were also influenced by the possibility that Yan Xia might be a special physique.

“If this Yan Xia is indeed a special physique, then heaven is truly not unfair to me,” she muttered to herself.

She was extremely clear about what it meant to have a special physique.

Especially one that was on the verge of collapse, like Yan Xia’s. If she could pull Yan Xia out of this desperate situation, then she, Feng Qingya, would have at least a hundred ways to control her in the future.

Moreover, she knew that Luo Yuebai didn’t place much importance on Yan Xia. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left her as a servant under Su Jingzhen for so long.

Initially, Luo Yuebai herself had examined Yan Xia, and even the strong cultivators from the Evil Moon Sect had checked her, but they didn’t find anything unusual about her.

…

It was already noon.

In the mysterious valley, Su Jingzhen had already used up 40 portions of the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

However, the success rate was still only around 80%.

Out of the 40 portions, 10 were wasted, and he only managed to get 30 successful pills.

This success rate would be considered a blessing for an ordinary second- or third-rate alchemist.

But Su Jingzhen was already accustomed to the 100% success rate of the Green Spirit Pill and Qi-replenishing Pill, so he was slightly dissatisfied with this result.

“Could it be that my wood-attributed spiritual roots are still not enough? Or is it because I’ve been refining too few pills since I reached the second rank?”

Looking at the four jade bottles placed beside the Black Mountain furnace, Su Jingzhen stopped again.

Long periods of pill refinement made him feel a bit irritated.

He walked towards the center of the mysterious valley, surrounded by thick fog, but he could only take 20-odd steps.

He was still far from reaching the true center.

He was already used to this, and at a position where he could perfectly withstand the environment, he began to practice the “Python Scales Power”.

Only when he practiced the “Python Scales Power” and felt his blood energy becoming more refined and strengthened did he feel that all his distracting thoughts could be completely eliminated.

An hour later, Su Jingzhen was exhausted again.

He lay down in the position where he could withstand the pressure.

He let the special energy in the thick fog enter his body.

After staying here for so long, he knew that there was no danger in this mysterious valley, so he didn’t have any worries and directly fell asleep.

Two hours later, under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, Su Jingzhen’s physical strength slowly recovered.

This time, practicing the “Python Scales Power” didn’t directly allow him to break through to the fifth layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo, but he felt that he was close to reaching that realm.

However, he didn’t think too much about it, and after recovering, he walked back to the furnace.

Today, he had to refine all the remaining medicinal materials into pills.

Before long, he entered a state of pill refinement again.

Time passed slowly in this state.

When night fell, Su Jingzhen finally used up the last portion of medicinal material.

Out of the 90 portions of Breaking Through Adversity Pill, he had successfully refined 70 pills.

Although the success rate was still only around 80%, all the successful pills were of higher quality than the top-grade pills Feng Qingya had appraised.

Just these 70 Breaking Through Adversity Pills would make Su Jingzhen’s wealth in Linjiang City rank among the top.

After all, this type of pill was rare and had a great effect.

Many people would crave for just one pill when breaking through a bottleneck.

In his opinion, one Breaking Through Adversity Pill could sell for at least 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones, or even more.

“Alas, the success rate is still only around 80%. Could it be that as I refine more pills, the success rate will permanently decrease?”

Su Jingzhen was still not very satisfied.

However, if other alchemists heard him say this, they would probably want to kill him.

After cleaning up the furnace and packing the 70 Breaking Through Adversity Pills into seven jade bottles, Su Jingzhen looked up at the sky and saw that night had fallen.

He didn’t hurry to go down the mountain, as he still had one more thing to do.

He still remembered the giant spider he had encountered during the day.

Even if it wasn’t that spider, he wanted to hunt one or two other demonic beasts to test the function of his black brick.

This action was already scheduled for the next day.

At this time, he looked at his left hand.

“When the fixed points arrive tomorrow, it will be the time to open the Labor Palace acupoint on the left hand.”
