Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

"1000 Soul-Soothing Pills, along with the formula and 600 portions of medicinal herbs."

"Task requirements: No less than sixty Danwen Tranquilizing Pills, time limit of three years."

"Task reward: 2400 contribution points."

It was another request to refine pills with cinnabar patterns.

Last time it was the five elements of the primordial elixir: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

This time it's a tranquilizer.

The effect of the Soul-Soothing Pill is to nourish the divine consciousness, which can enhance the strength of the divine consciousness in a short period of time.

It is very useful when attempting to break through the third stage of Foundation Establishment, the Divine Sense Stage.

Consuming the five elemental pills (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) can rapidly increase one's cultivation level.

The Soul-Soothing Pill can be taken at the third stage of Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, both types of elixirs were very popular in the market.

However, the Soul-Soothing Pill sells for a higher price.

An ordinary Soul-Soothing Pill requires 100 low-grade spirit stones; those with pill patterns are priced separately.

"The Soul-Soothing Pill is related to Foundation Establishment, so it's normal for it to be priced higher than the Yuan Pill."

Jiang Yun began to ponder.

This task is available.

However, a thousand Soul-Soothing Pills is an excessive number.

"Never mind, let's just consider it as honing our alchemy skills."

Jiang Yun looked at the task reward of 2400 contribution points.

He gritted his teeth, took out his identity jade token, and accepted the task.

"A mission to obtain one thousand Soul-Soothing Pills."

"The Zixiao Sect will take 50 contribution points. After completion, you will receive 2350 contribution points."

As he spoke, Manager Wu helped Jiang Yun accept the task.

After accepting the mission, a line of text appeared on Jiang Yun's Maple Leaf City cultivator identity token.

[Commission: 1000 Soul-Soothing Pills]

After accepting the mission, Jiang Yun returned to the Zhou family with his identity jade token and six hundred portions of the Soul-Soothing Pill ingredients.

The day after he returned to the Zhou family, he began to try to refine the Soul-Soothing Pill.

Fortunately, this mission provides the recipe.

Otherwise, Jiang Yun would need to spend contribution points to exchange for the recipe for the Soul-Soothing Pill.

Then it's not worthwhile to accept this task.

Jiang Yun began refining the Soul-Soothing Pill according to its recipe.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Two years later.

Zhou Family Pill Hall, the alchemy room where Jiang Yun is located.

The alchemy furnace emitted a dull hum, accompanied by a hissing sound.

This is a sign that the elixir is about to be formed.

"Freeze!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yun made a pill-condensing incantation and sent it into the pill furnace.

Before long, the alchemy furnace began to tremble violently.

This is a sign that the oven is about to explode.

"Something's not right. Although the Soul-Soothing Pill is more valuable than the Yuan Pill, it's at most a high-grade first-tier pill."

"How could my furnace explode after refining so many high-grade pills?"

Jiang Yun frowned.

Continue to pour the condensing pill formula into the alchemy furnace.

One hour later.

Following the usual steps for refining the Soul-Soothing Pill.

By this time, the elixir had already been successfully condensed, and the process of nurturing and collecting it had begun.

Even in this situation, the alchemy furnace is still shaking violently.

The elixir inside showed no signs of forming.

And the alchemy furnace did not explode.

"There's no fryer, what's going on?"

Jiang Yun gritted her teeth.

"I'll continue if you don't cause an explosion."

"Freeze it!"

He continuously injected the elixir with his magic formula.

Three days later.

The violent shaking of the alchemy furnace suddenly stopped.

A wisp of elixir fragrance wafted out from the gap between the elixir furnace and its lid.

"Finally, the core has been successfully condensed."

"This medicinal fragrance, could it be...?"

Jiang Yun stared at the alchemy furnace with a solemn expression.

The next moment, the alchemy furnace began to tremble violently again.

The pills inside the furnace were hitting the furnace lid, as if trying to escape.

This impact was more violent than any previous one.

"A top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill! It's a top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill!"

"I've finally come across the recipe for over five hundred batches of medicinal herbs."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

The elixir has now been successfully condensed and can be collected.

However, without nurturing, the red patterns will not develop.

The current situation is definitely a sign that a top-grade elixir has been born.

Therefore, it needs to be nurtured even more.

Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain!

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun quickly mobilized the power of his divine sense to press down on the furnace lid, preventing the pills from escaping.

During this period, which is the nurturing period, he needs to maintain a balance.

You can't let the pills knock off the furnace lid, nor can you press them down too hard and cause the furnace to explode.

The process of maintaining balance can only be sustained by the power of divine consciousness.

A balance between tension and relaxation requires precise control.

If magic is used to suppress it, the furnace will explode.

The control over magical power is not as good as that of divine sense.

The oven could explode if you're not careful.

At that time, not to mention top-grade pills, even ordinary pills will be unavailable.

As a qualified alchemist.

Magic power is only used when fusing the essence of medicinal herbs, and when condensing and collecting the elixir.

Seeing that the top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill was about to take shape, Jiang Yun had no reason to use his magic power.

And so it is.

After maintaining balance for a day, Jiang Yun's spiritual power was almost exhausted.

"No, the spiritual sense at the Qi Refining stage is still too weak."

"That's why it's easier for Foundation Establishment cultivators to refine pills."

"Because they have powerful divine sense assisting them."

Jiang Yun's mind raced.

Top-grade elixirs are extremely rare and hard to come by.

This time, he finally managed to run into someone.

We can't just give up like this.

"The Soul-Soothing Pill can nourish the divine sense and enhance it in a short period of time."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun immediately lowered his head, took out a Soul-Soothing Pill with a pill pattern from a jade bottle beside him, and swallowed it.

After swallowing a Soul-Soothing Pill, his spiritual power gradually recovered and began to strengthen.

However, the effects of the tranquilizing pill wore off quickly after a few hours.

Jiang Yun had no choice but to swallow another pill.

After swallowing it, it was warmed and nurtured again, competing in endurance with the top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill in the alchemy furnace.

Two days later.

Jiang Yun swallowed four Soul-Soothing Pills, each bearing a single red mark.

You can only take two more pills at a time, otherwise you will develop drug resistance.

The effects of the fourth tranquilizing pill had completely worn off, and Jiang Yun was preparing to swallow the fifth one.

At this moment, the cauldron, which had been shaking violently, suddenly stopped, and the lid remained motionless.

"It's done!"

Jiang Yun was overjoyed upon seeing this.

He quickly cast a spell to collect the elixir.

"receive!"

Suddenly, the furnace lid opened, and a pill flew out of the furnace.

In the past, a single batch of pills could yield at least two pills.

There is only one top-grade elixir.

Jiang Yun quickly waved his hand and took the pill in his hand to examine it.

The pill was still scalding hot.

There were three red patterns on it.

"Three red patterns."

"I've successfully refined a top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill!"

Looking at the pill in his hand, Jiang Yun couldn't help but exhale.

This top-grade pill almost caused the furnace to explode and destroy the pill.

After several days of endurance competition, Jiang Yun ultimately emerged victorious.

"To exchange for a top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill, a disciple of the Zixiao Sect needs 3000 contribution points, while a non-disciple of the Zixiao Sect needs 4000 contribution points."

"This top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill of mine is of immeasurable value to a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. I can keep it to break through the Divine Sense barrier of the third stage of Foundation Establishment."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun immediately sealed the top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill in a jade bottle.

He had no intention of selling this top-grade pill or exchanging it for contribution points by completing a mission.

The reward for the "Top-Grade Soul-Soothing Pill" quest posted by those people was only 1800 contribution points.

Only a fool would exchange this top-grade pill for contribution points.

Jiang Yun was in a great mood after sealing the pills and putting them into his storage bag.

"With this top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill, I can easily pass the third stage of Foundation Establishment, the Divine Sense stage."
