Chapter 352: Chapter 195: Dan Fire Test_1
Translator: 549690339
After some consideration, to avoid any mishaps, Lin Yi decided to conduct a test first. After all, this was the creation of his own Golden Core within his Dantian, entirely different from the Pill Furnace used in crafting ordinary pills. If the Fire Pill were to be consumed too quickly, it wouldn’t last for two days.
It was impossible for him to craft ordinary pills in the process of making his Golden Core.
Obviously, the safest approach would be to make a copy of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid outside and refine it with Fire Pill.
The pity is, making the Golden Core is in the specific environment of Dantian, which couldn’t be replicated. After some thought, he decided to put the Fire Pill into his Dantian for a test under the protection of the Pill Immortal Master.
The experiment didn’t require much time, four hours were enough. He only needed to know the consumption rate of the Fire Pill.
Once the process of crafting the Golden Core started, it had to be completed in one go, there was no opportunity to abandon it halfway, so careful preparation was essential.
Lin Yi did not rush to the Dan God Secret Realm for the test, but continued to digest and understand the pill-refining process described by his master.
Now, his high-level alchemy skills, including Piano-refining Alchemy Technique, were still at the Grandmaster Level.
However, considering the spell and skill enhancement rate of the [Training Expert] at the third stage, if he crafted twenty batches of pills every month, he could elevate these two types of skills to the Great Perfection in less than six months.
After some thought, Lin Yi decided to first raise his alchemy skills and techniques to the level of Great Perfection, then test the consumption rate of Fire Pill. This way, once he confirmed enough Fire Pill, he could formally start the plan to construct the Golden Core.
The title of [Expert Alchemist] had reached the second-tier when he last accessed the Heng Yuan World’s secret realm. Although a decade had passed, he had not refined any pills for four full years as he developed and refined the Tenth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
Now, he was just a few dozen points of experience away from maxing out the third-tier for the [Expert Alchemist] title.
Under the effects of the second tier, his pill-refining speed had increased by 70%. Crafting a Gathering Yuan Pill only required nearly two days. He could craft twenty batches of pills each month, leaving ten days of free time to comprehend the Golden Core refining process.
Once the plan was set, Lin Yi immersed himself in pill-crafting. Given his current abilities, crafting supreme-grade Gathering Yuan Pills was simple. The entire process was effortless and casual.
If someone were watching, they would see him as a grandmaster pianist, playing the air beside the Pill Furnace, moving fluidly and filled with a certain charm.
A year later, Lin Yi successfully advanced both his high-level alchemy techniques and the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique to the Great Perfect level, simultaneously obtaining nearly three hundred strands of Fire Pill.
All high-order elixirs, even the Golden Elixir, were easy for him to produce with supreme-grade quality each time, with extreme ease.
His Alchemist title [Expert Alchemist] had also leveled up to the perfect third tier. The current effects were Quality+45%, Success Rate+75%, Pill Refining Speed+75%. When crafting supreme-grade pills, there was a 60% likelihood of obtaining two strands of [Fire Pill].
During this time, he had simulated the Golden Core creation process explained by the Pill Immortal Master countless times in his mind. He thoroughly understood it and felt a certain degree of confidence about starting to make the Golden Core right now.
However, Lin Yi did not rush to start making the Golden Core right away. With his current level of alchemy, he wondered whether he could try crafting Spirit Rank elixirs first, elevating his Alchemy Skills from Great Perfection to Spirit Rank.
He remembered the Pill Immortal Master saying that his true self had already produced Spirit Rank elixirs and elevated the skill to Spirit Rank before making the Golden Core.
The time he advanced his intermediate alchemy skills to high-rank, he chose the comparatively cheaper Gathering Yuan Pill rather than the Golden Elixir. Even so, it still cost almost a hundred thousand Spirit Stones and the better part of a year.
If he elevated from high-rank to Spirit Rank, his only choice was naturally not the Infant Breaking Pill. The difficulty in crafting this item was far greater than the Golden Elixir, and it required extremely rare Spirit Grass.
Therefore, the pill suited to advancing to Spirit Rank technique was still the Gathering Mysterious Pill that enhanced Nascent Soul Stage, much cheaper than the Infant Breaking Pill.
Even so, considering the times he crafted the Gathering Yuan Pill, he would need to spend at least a million Spirit Stones. The primary ingredients of this type of pill required Spirit Rank Medicinal Fields to grow.
The Spirit Grass from Spirit Rank Medicinal Fields could only be used by the Nascent Soul True Monarch. The entire Liu Yun Sect only had Spirit Rank Medicinal Fields around Elder Xuan Qing’s Cave Mansion.
Fortunately, he could use Spirit Stones to purchase Spirit Grass within the Dan God Secret Realm without needing to buy it externally. He had also earned three million six hundred thousand Spirit Stones from opening the Secret Realm lecture hall previously, which was enough for pill crafting.
Since he wanted to craft the Golden Core, he had to prepare fully and not be too rash.
Lin Yi calculated his age. He hasn’t been in the Cultivation World for forty years, and he was just about thirty when he transmigrated. Combined, he would be condensing the Golden Core before turning seventy.
It was even faster than Gold Sword Zen Ren, who formed his Golden Core in his early hundred years, a rate that would shock the entire Cultivation World if word got out.
Before that, however, he needed to test the consumption rate of Fire Pill in his Dantian and ask the Pill Immortal Master’s opinion as to whether he should craft the Golden Core at the high-rank skill level or after advancing to Spirit Rank.
