Chapter 188 Refining the Soul-Returning Pill

Qin Ming looked at the changes in the two spiritual plants with joy and was quite satisfied.

However, both of these spiritual plants have been upgraded to the second-level top-grade level, and their growth cycles are relatively long.

It will take at least ten years to harvest.

However, it is not a big problem for Qin Ming.

The silver-winged frost bees also flew out of the hive, looking at the brand new tea forest and the purple-green bamboo forest in front of them with curiosity.

It seemed to sense the even richer plant spiritual energy emanating from inside, and immediately ordered all the spirit bees in the hive to transform into streams of light and drill into the bamboo forest to patrol and see if there were any ungrateful pests.

After using up two [Blood Return] items, Qin Ming thought for a while, "Since we have chosen to upgrade our spiritual weapon, why not add more fuel to the fire."

Then his mind moved again, and the entry of [Spiritual Plant Infusion] in his sea of ​​consciousness immediately disappeared and sank into one of the Void Bamboos in front of him.

"This entry can actually only be used on a single spiritual plant."

The entry [Empowering Spiritual Plants], after using it, can endow an originally ordinary spiritual plant with a certain degree of spirituality.

The next moment.

"Grrrrrr!"

In Qin Ming's perception of affinity for plants and trees, he actually heard the sound of a child's joyful laughter coming from inside the Void Bamboo.

"I go!"

"Could it be that intelligence has been born?"

Qin Ming couldn't help but exclaim.

He tried to sense it again with a nervous expression, but found that the laughter disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, Qin Ming discovered an embryo the size of a grain of rice, shining with a light green glow, deep in the core of this plant.

It seems to be pregnant with some strange existence.

Follow the rhythm of heaven and earth, breathe in the spiritual energy from the outside world, and continue to strengthen yourself.

Qin Ming looked extremely excited, and said happily: "This spiritualized Void Bamboo seems to have a great chance of directly growing into a third-level spiritual bamboo!"

After saying that, he reached out his hand and stroked the spiritual bamboo, and actually felt the sense of intimacy conveyed by the spiritual bamboo.

"This"

Qin Ming didn't know what kind of spirituality this entry gave to the Void Bamboo, and even he was a little unsure.

It seems that the answer will only be revealed after we grow up.

……

Half a day later.

After delivering the letter, Wu Jiang followed the Dharma ship of the Sanmeng and returned to Wangyue Island.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have personally handed the letter to Pavilion Master Gu."

"And she has been informed to help with the expedited treatment."

"Pavilion Master Gu said that there will be a reply in half a month at the latest."

After he told Qin Ming that the matter had been settled, he returned to the island in a daze.

Qin Ming knew without thinking that Wu Jiang must have been shocked by the tragic scene outside.

When piles of monks' bodies were carried out, it was inevitable that people would feel sympathy for their fellow monks.

……

Half a month later.

Qin Ming asked Wu Jiang to make another trip and get back Su Yuqing's reply.

After getting the reply jade slip, Qin Ming returned to the cave excitedly and checked the contents inside.

But when he saw Su Yuqing's reply, he found that it was only a few words:
"Brother Qin, this pill is actually not as difficult to refine as you might imagine. The reason for the difficulty is not the recipe, but the alchemist himself.

The fundamental reason why Yan Changkong failed in all his efforts to refine the pill was that his soul was not strong enough, which resulted in him being unable to master the fusion and combination of the medicinal properties and failing to meet the requirements for refining the pill.

And with Brother Qin's spiritual strength, it is more than enough for him to refine the Soul-Returning Pill.

Brother Qin, there is no need to worry too much. Just try to refine it once and all the problems will surface.

The rest, you will know how to successfully refine this pill."

……

After reading it, Qin Ming couldn't help but complain: "That's it?!"

He waited anxiously for more than half a month, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. The success rate of the Soul-Returning Pill actually depends on the strength of the alchemist's soul.

"Since Su Yuqing said it will not fail and he will definitely not fool me, let's start giving it a try." Qin Ming no longer hesitated and took out the Xuanyu Furnace from the storage bag and placed it in front of him.

Afterwards, he poured out all the spiritual materials that Wei Wuya had given him.

All of a sudden.

Hundreds of top-grade spiritual materials that are rare in the Wei Kingdom's immortal cultivation world were all scattered and floated quietly around Qin Ming under the control of his powerful divine sense.

After these days of continuous research on the pill formula, he has a clear grasp of the information about these spiritual materials.

Qin Ming's mind moved, and he cut this spiritual material into twelve portions in accordance with the ratio for refining the Soul-Returning Pill.

Then he opened his mouth and spurted out an ice-blue soul-devouring poisonous flame that transformed into a firebird and drilled into the bottom of the Xuanyu furnace, beginning to evenly heat up the furnace.

Followed by.

He began to extract the medicinal embryos and prepare the medicinal liquid with ease. For him, a second-level top-grade alchemy master, these processes were like daily routine.

But Qin Ming vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed something.

However, even though he discovered some abnormalities, he did not stop his actions and continued to reach the final stage of pill condensation.

puff!

A thick blue-black smoke came out of the Xuanyu furnace, obviously indicating that the refining process had failed.

Qin Ming raised his hand, opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, poured out the dark medicinal residue inside, recalled the alchemy process just now, and observed thoughtfully.

After half a lamp.

Qin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and several things that he had been unable to figure out before suddenly became clear.

He cleared away the residue and started refining the elixir for the second time.

The previous process remained the same as usual, but this time when it came to the step of preparing the liquid medicine, Qin Ming began to make changes.

As one of his thoughts moved, a ball of yellow liquid filled with earth spirit energy floated in front of him.

Afterwards, Qin Ming used his powerful divine sense to control the other medicinal liquids representing the four elements of water, wood, fire, and gold, and integrated them into the earth-attributed medicinal liquid in the order in which the five elements were generated.

It is this process that tests the spiritual strength of the cultivator to the utmost. If one is not careful or makes a slight mistake, the medicine liquid inside will instantly change from the five elements of mutual generation to the five elements of mutual restraint, causing conflicts between various properties and leading to the final failure of the pill.

More importantly, before putting the pill into the furnace to condense, one needs to use one's spiritual power to control the stability of the liquid medicine.

Qin Ming put aside all distractions and focused on refining the elixir.

gradually.

A ball of medicinal liquid emitting a five-colored halo blended out in front of him, and the five elements' colors flashed alternately.

Call ~
The most critical step was completed. He carefully placed the colorful liquid into the Xuanyu furnace under the control of his divine mind.

boom!
The moment the medicine liquid entered the furnace, the soul-devouring poisonous flames under the furnace suddenly increased in temperature.

Qin Ming's eyes were sharp. He immediately made hand gestures and performed the pill melting technique, proceeding to the final step of pill condensation.

More than half an hour passed.

鸠！
A clear sound, representing the completion of the elixir, came from the elixir furnace.

But this time, there was no strange fragrance of the elixir coming out.

There was no sign of any high-level elixirs being refined.

"That's not right? Could it be that the refining failed again?"

Qin Ming immediately raised his hand and pointed it into the Xuanyu furnace. A elixir turned into a stream of light and fell into his hand.

He opened his palm and took a look, then was stunned.

Because this elixir is colorless and odorless, it is actually transparent!
However, he remembered the description of the Soul-Returning Pill in the recipe, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The Soul-Returning Pill is done."

He successfully refined the Soul-Returning Pill the second time. If Elder Yan of Lei Yuan Sect knew about this, he would probably be furious.

Qin Ming put away the Soul-Returning Pill and started refining it again.

"Since Ancestor Ao is determined to fight the demons, he can't just use ordinary quality Soul-Returning Pills."

"Because according to the recipe, the medicinal power of the fine Soul-Returning Pill can even burn away a cultivator's lifespan and temporarily raise his cultivation to a level beyond his peak state."

"According to Lei Yuan Sect's Ao Patriarch's cultivation, he might be able to reach the middle stage of the Golden Core for a short period of time."

"In that case, our chances of winning against that third-level blood-cursed devil vine will increase significantly."

"Hehe! This can be considered a surprise for Lei Yuanzong!"
