Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Two years ago.

Although Jiang Yun obtained the recipes for three second-tier low-grade pills, as well as nine corresponding medicinal materials.

However, he did not attempt to refine these three types of second-grade low-level pills.

After all, if one's spiritual strength is insufficient, no matter how much one refines, it will be a waste of medicinal herbs.

Now that his spiritual strength has reached the required level, he has begun to attempt to refine second-grade low-level pills.

This was Jiang Yun's first time refining a second-grade low-level Fire Essence Pill.

He prepared the medicinal herbs in advance, and then started the furnace to refine the elixir.

The first medicinal herb was put into the alchemy furnace to begin refining the medicinal essence.

Then came the second plant, the third plant...

Everything is in order.

"凝".

It wasn't until he tried to condense the elixir that Jiang Yun discovered he couldn't.

Before the creation of the Supreme Soul-Soothing Pill, it was impossible to condense the pill, but at that time the pill furnace was shaking violently.

This time was different; the alchemy furnace remained completely still.

"If the elixir fails to condense, it must be because the medicine was not purified properly and contains impurities."

Jiang Yun, with his extensive experience in alchemy, quickly realized where the problem lay.

However, he chose to forcibly condense the elixir.

However, the pills that were ultimately refined were completely useless.

"Forcefully condense the pill, complete the subsequent steps, and familiarize yourself with the refining of second-tier pills."

With this in mind, Jiang Yun began to forcefully condense his core.

When finally collecting the elixir...

They discovered that what they had refined was an irregular object, like a piece of charcoal, without even the shape of a pill.

"The elixir was not even formed, and there were problems with the subsequent steps as well."

"The strength of my spiritual sense is sufficient to assist in alchemy for an extended period of time."

"Why didn't the elixir take shape?"

Jiang Yun recalled the entire alchemy process.

No problems were found with the method.

He calmed his mind, took out the second batch of medicinal materials, and began the second refining process.

When Jiang Yun put the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace to extract their essence, he became even more focused.

He discovered that no matter how focused he was or how skilled he was, there would always be flaws in the step of refining the essence of the medicine.

In short, it is impossible to completely eliminate impurities from drugs.

"No, this will only be a waste of medicinal herbs."

Jiang Yun immediately stopped administering the medication.

He thought for a moment, then took out a set of ingredients for a first-grade high-quality Golden Essence Pill and began refining it.

This time, the first-grade high-quality pill was successfully refined quickly without any mistakes.

"The successful refining of a first-grade high-quality pill proves that my technique is correct."

"When refining second-grade low-level pills, I'm finding it difficult to extract the essence of the ingredients. What's going on?"

Jiang Yun seemed to have found the key to the problem and began to ponder.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't figure it out.

He had no choice but to stop refining pills, leave the alchemy room, and seek answers from Elder Zhou Hongchang.

In this life, Jiang Yun possesses the innate talent of "natural alchemical veins".

However, all his alchemy skills were accumulated through his own research in his previous life; he had no guide or master.

If we encounter any problems right now, we can consult Zhou Hongchang.

After all, Zhou Hongchang was older than him and had been immersed in alchemy for many years, so he knew more.

"Elder, some time ago I tried to refine a second-grade low-level pill, but I always felt that I was lacking in the ability to extract the essence of the medicine. What's going on?"

Jiang Yun found Zhou Hongchang, and after exchanging words, they got down to business.

"Are you struggling with the drug purification process?"

Zhou Hongchang seemed to ponder this, then smiled and said:

"Presumably, you used the same alchemy techniques and methods as before when refining second-tier pills this time?"

Jiang Yun suddenly realized.

So that's where the problem lies.

His alchemy techniques and methods were all learned in his previous life.

This set can only produce high-grade first-tier pills at most; it cannot produce second-tier pills at all.

"Thank you for your explanation, Elder."

Jiang Yun smiled and bowed to Zhou Hongchang.

"To refine second-tier pills, one needs a second-tier alchemy lineage."

As Zhou Hongchang began to explain, his expression suddenly changed to one of surprise, and he asked, "You're going to start your attempt to become a second-tier alchemist?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Yun nodded.

There's no need to hide this matter; we'll have to go through the clan chief's assessment later, so it's impossible to keep it a secret.

"Tsk tsk." Zhou Hong clicked his tongue. "Only a genius like you would dare to dream of breaking through to the second-tier alchemist stage during the Qi Refining stage."

"Elder," Jiang Yun said dismissively, then asked with a smile, "Does the family have any second-tier alchemy lineage members?"

"No, I was the only first-grade high-level alchemist in the family in the past, so where would I get a second-grade alchemy inheritance?" Zhou Hongchang shook his head.

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does the Zixiao Sect's Treasure Exchange Pavilion offer second-tier alchemy inheritances for exchange?"

"Of course," Zhou Hongchang replied, "but the required contribution points are not a small amount."

Jiang Yun understood.

Therefore, it seems that I still need to go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for a second-tier low-grade alchemy inheritance.

As for his family, he certainly couldn't rely on them and wouldn't be provided with a second-tier alchemy inheritance.

Otherwise, two years ago, the clan leader would have handed over the second-tier alchemy inheritance and three alchemy formulas to Jiang Yun.

With this in mind, Jiang Yun left Zhou Hongchang's residence and headed to the Ningyuanfang Duibaoge.

"We must obtain the Gathering Yuan Pill."

"It's worthwhile to spend some contribution points to exchange for a second-tier alchemy inheritance."

Two years later.

Jiang Yun entered the Treasure Pavilion again.

The manager of Ningyuanfang Duibaoge was still the same white-haired old man, Qiu Jiantian.

"Greetings, senior."

When facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one must not neglect the proper etiquette.

Jiang Yun walked to the counter and bowed.

"It's you." Qiu Jiantian recognized Jiang Yun and exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually unharmed, kid? The Demon King's Visualization Diagram didn't drive you mad or make you stupid?"

"Senior is too kind," Jiang Yun said calmly. "Cultivating the Demon King Visualization Diagram is indeed dangerous, and it is thanks to your reminder that day that I did not go astray."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Jiantian stroked his beard and smiled, asking, "What have you come to exchange for?"

"Second-tier alchemy inheritance." Jiang Yun took out his identity token and handed it to Qiu Jiantian, asking, "Are these contribution points enough to exchange for it?"

"3460 contribution points are enough to exchange for a second-tier low-grade alchemy inheritance."

Qiu Jiantian picked up Jiang Yun's identity token and examined it.

He turned around and retrieved all the second-tier alchemy inheritances for Jiang Yun to review.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Jiang Yun immediately began to observe.

"The Myriad Spirits Pill Manual, a second-tier superior-grade pill-making inheritance, was created by Wan Lingzi, a third-tier pill master from the Zixiao Sect. It requires 10000 contribution points to exchange for."

"The Burning Yuan Refining Medicine Record, a second-tier superior-grade alchemy inheritance, was created by the Core Formation cultivator True Person Burning Yuan. It requires 8000 contribution points to exchange."

"Qingxiang Danjing, a second-tier mid-grade alchemy inheritance, requires 4200 contribution points to exchange."

……

Read it from top to bottom.

Jiang Yun discovered that second-tier high-grade alchemy inheritances are mostly produced by Core Formation cultivators, and require a huge amount of contribution points.

The Ten Thousand Spirit Pill Manual of Wan Lingzi, a third-level alchemist of the Zixiao Sect, has a contribution point of up to 10,000.

Jiang Yun lowered his gaze and found a suitable second-tier low-grade alchemy inheritance.

"Fire and Wood Pill Technique, a second-tier low-grade pill-making inheritance, suitable for pill masters with fire and wood spiritual roots, requiring 2000 contribution points."

With his gaze fixed on the four words "Fire and Wood Elixir Technique," Jiang Yun quickly made a decision.

"Senior, I wish to exchange for the Firewood Pill Technique."
