Chapter 372: Chapter 203 Success or Failure_1

Back at his cultivation cave mansion in the Dan God Secret Realm, Lin Yi found it deserted. Just as he was about to summon someone, the figure of Zhang Dao Xuan suddenly appeared, asking with some surprise, “How did you return so soon?”

Lin Yi coughed, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “Ahem, Master, I was just making preparations to enhance the success rate of Solidifying Pill. I request your protection once again.”

After that, he took out dozens of jars containing evil spirits from his storage bag and placed them all around.

Seeing this, Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Is this what you call resting? To bring more evil spirits in for salvation? Didn’t you already save over twenty evil spirits last time?”

Lin Yi nodded seriously, “Yes, Master, but even luck can be exhausted. The blessings from the last salvation were all used up during the previous alchemy process.”

“And saving Evil Spirits, I not only obtain luck, but also a peaceful heart. This should be considered as rest”.

Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head in helplessness, “I feel you are too obsessed with these things. We are cultivators, instead of saving evil spirits and praying for the karma they bring good luck, we might as well be our own gods.”

“Master, I’m not blindly believing, everything has been verified. I wouldn’t waste any energy on it if I don’t earn Virtue Points by saving these evil spirits.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but think about Lin Yi’s smooth progress on some extremely difficult matters, such as the evolution of Creation Method, the breakthrough of Spirit Level Alchemy Art, and it indeed seemed as if he was blessed with luck.

He waved his hand and said, “Alright, then hurry up with the salvation.”

Lin Yi then skillfully began to save the evil spirits, the majority of which were dark grey and black. There were not many deep black Foundation Establishment evil spirits.

After a while, he had spirited away all of these evil spirits, obtaining a total of 21,000 Virtue Points which was less than expected, as the dark grey evil spirits were too weak, yielding lesser karma and hence lesser rewards.

With more than 20,000 Virtue Points, the total had reached over 56,000. If even such a vast amount of Virtue Points can’t solidify the golden cores, it meant that the method of making golden cores was completely unworkable.

After spiriting away the evil spirits, Lin Yi solemnly said to Zhang Dao Xuan, “Master, I’m going to start solidifying the golden core.”

“Stay calm. If it succeeds, it succeeds. If it doesn’t, consider it as a refinement for your cultivation level.” Zhang Dao Xuan continued to relieve Lin Yi’s pressure. With all these preparations and difficulties experienced, if it failed, the immense disparity could be unbearable.

Lin Yi nodded, smiled, and said, “Master, pressure generates motivation. Cultivation requires perseverance without retreat. I will also lock onto only one goal when I make the golden core.”

Zhang Dao Xuan suddenly laughed. He thought that Lin Yi might not be able to bear such huge pressure. However, he underestimated Lin Yi’s growth over the years. From the beginning till now, his apprentice, has been constantly challenging extremely difficult tasks.

He said with anticipation, “Then go ahead and keep marching forward. I am waiting for the moment you create a cultivator’s miracle by solidifying the golden core.”

Lin Yi closed his eyes with a smile, sinking his spirit into his Dantian. At this moment, there were three types of materials in his Dantian: Spiritual Liquid transformed from his own cultivation level, Thunder and Lightning Element from Thunder Spell, and Wind Element from the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind.

There were a hundred lumps of Spiritual Liquid, ten of Thunder and Lightning, and fifteen of Wind Element.

He had previously communicated with Pill Immortal Master about the order of fusion for these golden core materials. He couldn’t possibly infuse all the Wind–Thunder Elements at the last moment just before the core formation. In that case, the instability of Wind-Thunder might lead to the ultimate failure of alchemy.

Therefore, during the alchemy process, he needed to separately infuse these Wind–Thunder Elements to ensure that they were evenly blended into the Golden Core.

Taking the Wind and Thunder elements together, there were 25 lumps, roughly the same size as the Spiritual Liquid. Therefore, every time four lumps of Spiritual Liquid were fused, a lump of Thunder and Lightning or Wind Element needed to be infused.

Before starting to solidify the core, Lin Yi pondered for a while and did not activate the Minor Blessing State because fusing the Spiritual Liquid was simpler than the process of refinement. The hardest part was infusing the Wind-Thunder Elements, so he would activate the Minor Blessing State then.

Moreover, the hardest part of the entire process of solidifying the Golden Core was the solidifying phase after all the materials had been fully fused. Therefore, he needed to conserve his Virtue Points.

If everything goes smoothly, the process of solidifying the core could be completed in just half a year.

He evaluated his current effects: in addition to the inactive Minor Blessing State, he had the [Training Expert] third level with a 30% breakthrough difficulty bonus, and a 20% chance of entering the Flow State, making all effects double.

If Making Golden Cores was effective, the difficulty of breaking through would increase the success rate. Plus, the luck effect of [Face Difficulties Head On] and the Minor Blessing State, he had basically maxed out all effects beneficial to core making.

After making preparations, Lin Yi first controlled two lumps of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to go to the alchemy area in the center of Dantian, and a strand of Crimson Red Fire Pellet appeared in the Dantian. Under his thoughts, he started to refine and fuse these two Lumps of Spiritual Liquid.
