At the stone mountain villa area.
In the living room, Lin Zichen was sitting cross-legged on the floor. In front of him were a Coiled Dragon Cauldron and a pile of herbs.
After looking at the cauldron and the herbs for a long time, Lin Zi Chen still had not started.
Of course he knew that these medicinal ingredients were all rather precious, especially the main ingredients. Master Hou must have asked quite a number of people to collect them, and they were all worth quite a bit.
So, if this refining failed, it could be said to be even harder to find.
Lin Zichen roughly calculated that if he used these materials sparingly, he could refine them five times. However, this would greatly reduce the quality of the Dragon Elephant Pill, and he could only refine them three times if he took into account the quality.
That was to say, he only had three chances. If he succeeded, he could obtain three pills. If he lost, it would be difficult to find the materials again after three tries.
Mammoth tooth fossils were sold in the market. Although they were rare and precious, many luxury shops used them to make pendants and other accessories.
However, the Ancient Python's scales were incomparably rare. If he failed to refine them all, then he would have to find them with his broken shoes.
In truth, Empyrean Blackmist didn't have much of an inheritance of consciousness regarding the Dragon Elephant Pill. It was just that Lin Zichen had used some information to deduce its origin.
There were many regrets in his life with regards to the Dao Xuan not being able to refine a Dragon Elephant Pill was one of them. Moreover, he had not stepped into the Dragon Elephant Stage even when he had reached the Empyrean rank.
That was it. If one did not enter the Celestial Realm, they would not have the opportunity to enter the Celestial Realm. This was the function of Foundation Establishment. Only by laying a good foundation would one be able to ensure stability in the later stages.
If it were any other domain, it would be fine, but if you cultivated it yourself, you would never be able to return.
Even if the Dragon Elephant Pill really could increase the chances of a martial artist entering the Dragon Elephant Stage, he didn't even know how to take it, whether it was before or after the Celestial Realm.
Of course, that was not important. The most important thing was that he had to try and refine it first.
It was not until night that Lin Zichen finally nodded his head, exhaled, and decided to refine the pill.
He pointed at the Coiled Dragon Cauldron with two fingers and a flame shot out. It went straight for the bottom of the cauldron. The moment the flame was ignited, it immediately became at least twice the height of the Coiling Dragon Cauldron.
Looking at the fierce flames, Lin Zi Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. With a wave of his hand, the ancient python scales on the ground floated up.
Soon after, the Ancient Python Scale, Black Fish bone, and Mammoth Teeth powder all floated into the air. Lin Zi Chen said, "The Mammoth Teeth have been turned into powder, and the Black Fish bone melts when it enters the group. It should enter the Ancient Python Scale first!"
With that, the Ancient Python Scale immediately charged into the flame.
Just as he thought, the toughness of the Ancient Python's scales surpassed his imagination. They appeared as thin as a cicada's wing, but they were filled with an incomparable willfulness. After entering the flames, crackling sounds rang out, but the surface of the python's scales did not change at all.
If it were an ordinary scale, it would probably ignite upon contact with fire, and even turn into ashes very quickly. However, the ancient python's scales were as undamaged as they were at the start.
Lin Zi Chen nodded. He was in no hurry to put in any other materials, so he slowly paid attention to the changes in the Ancient Python's scale.
Refining is the creation and inheritance of generations of apothecaries. Sometimes, it might not be as simple as it seems, so it relies more on talent and experience. Thus, the apothecary has to discover the subtle changes in the process and decide on the next step.
Thus, Lin Zichen did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he carefully observed every single detail, afraid that he would miss any of the crucial moments.
Every step during the refining process could be a critical moment. Even if a refining process went through several days or even dozens of days, a smooth refining process would still take a large portion of the time. However, there were only a few crucial points.
Lin Zi Chen seriously watched for a couple of hours before he refined the cauldron. Xiao Feng, who was in the Wanxiang Space, was also constantly sensing Lin Zi Chen's movements.
Seeing Lin Zichen sit without moving for several hours, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. Refining wasn't cultivation, after all. Cultivating was a form of cultivation, and it was also a form of deep rest.
However, refining pills was different. A martial artist could focus all of their energy and focus on the process. If one was distracted for even a moment, then it would be a waste of precious materials.
As a result, Xiao Feng did not dare to say a word and did not rest. Although she did not know how to refine pills, she only watched Lin Zichen refine them.
The heat from the flames had already caused the living room to become extremely hot, but Lin Zi Chen could not care less. The sweat on his forehead dripped onto his eyelids, and he could only blink to ease it.
Furthermore, it was best to use a sealed space when refining to prevent any wind from interfering with the details of the refining.
Looking at the python's scales within the flames, Lin Zi Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide. He saw that the surface of the scales suddenly began to deform, and on the surface, there was a feeling similar to a bubble. This was … It was about to melt!
Immediately after, Lin Zi Chen placed the mammoth tooth powder in, followed closely by the entry of the black fish bone. With the help of the black fish bone's viscosity, the scales could not be burnt to ashes, and the mammoth tooth could also be directly fused.
This way, it was done in one go!
But the reality was very different from what Lin Zi Chen had imagined. Right at this moment, a crisp sound was heard, and the ancient python's scales were instantly turned into ashes. At the same time, the sparks it produced also caused the Mammoth Teeth Powder to largely turn black …
Soon after, the flames emitted a loud noise, Lin Zi Chen's eyes looked straight into the flames, and sweat immediately started dripping down his forehead.
After a long time, Lin Zichen stared at the fire in the Coiling Dragon cauldron, but he could not say a single word. He did not understand what he had done wrong. How could he have failed so quickly?
Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth, "Master, this is... Defeated? "
Hearing this, Lin Zi Chen nodded his head and let out a long sigh. "Mm, this is simply burning money."
Lin Zichen knew that although the Marquis did not ask for money, the materials were not cheap.
Furthermore, the support materials had not yet been released. This truly happened too quickly.
"Master, don't worry. Xiao Feng believes that you will definitely succeed."
Lin Zichen smiled, "Thank you, Xiao Feng, I will do my best."
However, it was difficult for him to calm down after a long time. After all, this was the first time he had tried to refine a precious pill. Although he had determination in his heart, he did not dare to boast about his certainty.
With regards to the refinement of higher graded pills, even if he were to succeed once, he wouldn't dare say that he had already reached the level of a high-level pharmacist. After all, it might be by chance, not to mention... Lin Zi Chen hadn't succeeded even once.
Lin Zi Chen thought to himself, the Ancient Python's scale that was burnt for so long hasn't changed at all, but at that moment, it was unexpectedly burnt to ashes. Could it be that it has something to do with me putting in the mammoth's tooth and the black fish bone?
When encountering fire, it would not melt for a long time, but when other materials entered the fire, the fire would definitely become even more fierce. It was precisely because of this change that the Ancient Python Scale lost its original tenacity!
He nodded, that must be the case. It seemed that I should first use my zhenqi to protect the ancient python's scales before putting anything else in it.
"Alright, let's begin the second time then!"
As he spoke, Lin Zichen extinguished the flames within the cauldron. After all, the flames that failed to refine would be mixed with burnt ashes, and this would affect the refining process.
Therefore, he reignited the flames and began to refine them again!
Seeing her master begin again, Xiao Feng's heart ached. However, this was also Lin Zichen's personality. The more difficult it was, the more difficult it would be for him to take the challenge. It could even be said that his feelings of unwillingness would be aroused at the first moment.
But at this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly froze. She discovered that a small purple lion in a dark corner had opened its eyes.
"Oh my god... "Ka Ka?"
The little purple lion's eyes were as clear as spring water, filled with ignorance and innocence. It looked around at the surrounding darkness, revealing an expression of fear. All of the purple hair on its body stood up.
Xiao Feng hastily walked over and used her hand to caress Ka Ka's forehead. It was only then that the little purple lion's expression eased up.
"Kaka, you're awake? You slept a long time. " Xiao Feng squatted down and said with a face full of love.
Perhaps Kaka will become a domineering lion, but at least for this moment, it is still very cute.
Ka Ka rubbed her head against Xiao Feng's hand. Then, she stuck out her tongue to lick Xiao Feng's palm, causing her to giggle.
"Hahaha, it's so itchy! Stop licking it. It's so itchy that it's killing me!"
Although Kaka did not understand what Xiao Feng meant, he still laughed along with her, as if he was a natural imitation.
Perhaps it is because he tried too hard to imitate it, but Kaka started to laugh so hard that he started to cough.
"Little guy, you're so cute. I hope you never grow up."
Ka Ka's eyes were wide open as he looked at Xiao Feng. The corner of his mouth was raised slightly. He was filled with spirit energy.
Not long after, Kaka yawned again and his eyelids drooped down. He stuck his tongue out and licked his lips before immediately lying back down.
"Ah?" You're not going to sleep, are you? Do you want to sleep for years? "
However, Xiao Feng nodded her head as soon as she finished her sentence. "That's true. Master's space is filled with true energy. Perhaps it is too comfortable. Sleeping here all the time is perhaps the fastest way to grow."
Kaka quickly fell asleep once again, sleeping soundly. However, the corners of his mouth kept on smiling.
Xiao Feng patted Ka Ka's fur. "Alright then. Continue sleeping. I'm going to watch master refine pills."
Time slowly passed. Night, day, and then night.
Lin Zi Chen's second refinement had already been going on for an entire day, and this time he had used his own analysis to resolve the problem of the ancient python's scales being burnt to ashes. It was obvious that he had made the right choice.
It wasn't until the third day that Lin Zichen finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the materials had been refined normally, and if that was the case, after a long time of refinement, they would slowly reach the stage of forming a pill.
The Zhen Qi in the Myriad Manifestation Space combined with the function of the fire crystals could solve the big problem for him. However, just as he relaxed, he heard an explosive sound from within the flames. Lin Zichen was paralyzed on the spot …
