Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 36 Could it be that you've been bribed by a demonic cultivator?

When refining this top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill with three pill patterns.

Jiang Yun took four Soul-Soothing Pills, each bearing a single pill pattern.

Two more pills are needed before drug resistance develops.

This top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill will definitely come in handy during the Divine Sense stage of the third Foundation Establishment level.

"The efficacy of a top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill is ten or even twenty times that of an ordinary Soul-Soothing Pill, so there is no need to worry about drug resistance."

"That's why top-grade pills are even more precious, especially pills that can help with foundation building."

Jiang Yun never expected to be so lucky this time when he accepted the mission to obtain 1000 Soul-Soothing Pills.

Let him refine a top-grade pill during the alchemy process.

Moreover, it is a pill related to Foundation Establishment.

Any elixirs or treasures related to Foundation Establishment are extremely valuable.

However, it's a different story for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

For example, a Foundation Establishment cultivator might disdain a top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill.

Because no matter what, the Supreme Soul-Soothing Pill is at most a first-grade high-quality pill.

Foundation Establishment cultivators who wish to nourish their divine sense and temporarily amplify its power have second-tier pills to choose from.

"Second-tier pills..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun began to ponder.

When refining this top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill, aside from the fact that his spiritual power was weak, which caused him to be in such a sorry state.

Everything else is impeccable, without any problems.

In other words, it only requires making up for the shortcomings in spiritual consciousness.

Even during the Qi Refining stage, one can still refine second-tier pills.

"To refine a second-tier pill during the Qi Refining stage, one's spiritual power must be strong enough."

"Perhaps I can use contribution points to exchange for a secret technique for cultivating divine sense during the Qi Refining stage."

"If I can refine a second-tier pill, I can go to the Foundation Establishment Hall of the Mission Hall to accept missions, which will allow me to earn contribution points much faster."

The successful formation of this top-grade elixir greatly boosted Jiang Yun's confidence.

He was preparing to begin refining second-tier pills.

However, we still need to improve our spiritual power right now.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun began to count all the Soul-Soothing Pills.

Inside the alchemy room, the floor was covered with jade bottles.

The jade bottle was full of Soul-Soothing Pills, which were made in preparation for the mission.

"Of the 600 medicinal herbs, 512 were successfully refined, resulting in 1024 pills."

"There are 67 pills with one dan pattern in them. I took four of them when I was refining the top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill."

"The remaining 63 Soul-Soothing Pills with one pill pattern are enough to complete the quest."

After a thorough investigation, the situation was settled.

Jiang Yun discovered that the probability of refining pill patterns had increased this time.

However, the success rate of refining has decreased and is not close to 90%.

Since these were entirely new formulas and pills, there was a lot of waste of medicinal materials during the initial refining process.

"There's no time to lose, let's go turn in the mission now."

Jiang Yun put all the pills into his storage bag and left the alchemy room.

As they walked into the courtyard of the Dan Hall, they encountered Zhou Hongchang, who was counting the medicinal herbs.

"Second Elder, what's wrong?" Zhou Hongchang looked Jiang Yun up and down, asking in confusion, "Why do you look so haggard?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun took out the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror from his storage bag.

Use this exquisite protective artifact as a mirror.

He found himself looking haggard, with dark circles under his eyes and messy hair.

Good heavens, you've become so haggard after refining a top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill.

However, being able to refine top-grade pills makes it all worthwhile.

"Studying alchemy requires a balance of work and rest," Zhou Hongchang advised. "Go and rest for a few days. Even if you haven't mastered the Fire Element Pill and Earth Element Pill, I believe the clan leader won't blame you."

"Elder, there's no need to worry. I'm already capable of refining Fire Essence Pills and Earth Essence Pills, with a success rate of about 80%," Jiang Yun said with a smile. "However, I do need to rest for a few days now."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his residence.

After taking one fasting pill, I lay in bed and fell fast asleep.

His spiritual power was exhausted, his spirit was damaged, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

This sleep lasted for three days and three nights.

Three days later.

Jiang Yun opened her eyes feeling refreshed, got up, picked up the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror, and looked at herself.

I noticed that my dark circles have disappeared and I don't look so haggard anymore.

"I've only ever seen someone so haggard before, a cultivator who studies formations."

Jiang Yun smiled, compared to studying the art of formations and setting up formations.

The alchemy profession is much easier.

Array formation geniuses are all meticulous and cunning monsters.

Without talent, the array formation method among the six arts of immortal cultivation is probably the most difficult to learn.

After a good night's sleep, Jiang Yun remembered the important matter of submitting the task.

When he left his residence and walked to the gate of the Zhou family, he saw Ye Hongyi scolding Zhou Zongxiao and Zhou Zongyao.

"He is ignorant and incompetent, lacks ambition, and does not marry or have children to continue the family line."

Ye Hongyi pointed at Xiaoyao and the other two and cursed:

"What good are you two? What do you do all day?"

Zhou Zongxiao and Zhou Zongyao both had rosy cheeks.

I suppose I spent last night at the Drunken Dream Pavilion in Chun Chang Fang.

The two men, facing Ye Hongyi, lowered their heads sheepishly.

"Were you bribed by the demonic cultivators of Crimson Fiend City?" Ye Hongyi asked, exasperated.

"You're proficient in all the arts of cultivation, yet you're all clueless. How many spirit stones did they offer you to choose to be such useless people?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Zongxiao and Zhou Zongyao couldn't help but look up at Ye Hongyi.

How come I didn't know about this?

"What do you mean 'huh'? Speak up!" Ye Hongyi snapped.

"Mother, even if you gave us a hundred lives, we wouldn't dare to collude with demonic cultivators," Xiaoyao and the other said in unison.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Jiang Yun, who was not far away, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He quickly swallowed his laughter and coughed twice instead.

Ye Hongyi turned around and saw that the person who came was the family's alchemy genius, and her expression immediately improved.

"Zhou Yun, are you going out?" she asked with a smile.

"Greetings, Madam." Jiang Yun bowed with his hands clasped. "Having spent my days studying alchemy, I'm feeling restless and am preparing to go out for a stroll."

"Yes, alchemy!" Ye Hongyi asked, "Now that two years have passed, how are your Fire Element Pills and Earth Element Pills coming along?"

"Reporting to Mistress," Jiang Yun said with a smile, "I have mastered it completely and am about 80% confident."

"Excellent, excellent, excellent." Ye Hongyi clapped her hands in praise, then pondered for a moment and said:

"Do you have something urgent to attend to? If not, go to the Pill Hall and try to refine Fire Element Pills and Earth Element Pills so I can report to the clan leader."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao and the other person quickly gave Jiang Yun a look, signaling him to come out of the predicament.

"It's nothing urgent."

Jiang Yun shook her head.

This mission had a three-year timeframe, which he completed in two years.

There's still a year to submit the task, so there's no rush.

"Alright, let's go to the Pill Hall."

Ye Hongyi made the final decision.

She walked ahead, leading Jiang Yun and Xiaoyao to the Pill Hall.

Inside the Dan Hall.

Jiang Yun was under Ye Hongyi's watchful eye the whole time.

Proficient in refining Fire Essence Pills and Earth Essence Pills.

And this time, they successfully refined the pill patterns.
