Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Having obtained the sixty portions of medicinal herbs, Jiang Yun did not rush to begin refining second-grade low-level pills.

He chose to refine a first-grade high-quality pill first to get a feel for it, so that he could adjust to the best state for pill refining.

Several days later, the first of the sixty medicinal herbs was officially put into the alchemy furnace for refining.

But it still failed.

"It seems that refining second-tier pills during the Qi Refining stage is more difficult than I imagined."

"Of course, the main reason for the current failure is that the Fire-Wood Elixir Technique has not yet been fully mastered."

"I'm still a bit rusty with the techniques for refining pills using this set of alchemy methods; I need to practice more."

After failing to refine a second-grade low-level Fire Essence Pill.

Jiang Yun summarized his experience and learned that the biggest problem came from the Fire-Wood Elixir Technique.

I have only recently learned this set of alchemical techniques and have not yet mastered its application. It will take time to fully understand and apply them.

"In order to advance to the second-tier low-grade alchemist as soon as possible, I need to obtain the Gathering Yuan Pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"I've been feeling rather impatient lately, and this will be extremely detrimental to my alchemy."

When Jiang Yun was summarizing his experiences and lessons learned, he suddenly realized the truth.

After the clan chief informed him that he had passed the second-tier low-grade alchemist assessment, he bestowed upon him a Gathering Yuan Pill.

His state of mind had actually begun to undergo subtle changes.

This is understandable; having failed to establish a foundation in the previous life, one is even more eager to do so in this life.

With the Foundation Establishment stage imminent, no Qi Refining cultivator could remain calm.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun realized what was happening in time.

One must not be impatient in anything, especially in alchemy.

He began to calm down, temporarily suspending the refining of second-grade low-quality pills, and chose to refine first-grade high-quality pills to familiarize himself with the Fire-Wood Pill Technique.

Only after feeling that his alchemy skills in the Firewood Pill Refining Technique had improved did he attempt to refine a second-grade low-level pill.

After failing, try to refine a first-grade high-quality pill.

And so on and on.

Time passed day by day.

Jiang Yun was so engrossed in alchemy that he lost track of time.

Before we knew it, three years had passed in the blink of an eye.

As of this year, Jiang Yun is thirty-seven years old in this life.

The past three years.

After calming down and adjusting his mindset.

He spent almost every day in the alchemy room.

Now, three years later, Jiang Yun has reaped tremendous rewards.

With the blessing of the "innate elixir vein" talent.

In his first year, he mastered the Fire-Wood Elixir Technique and was able to skillfully refine elixirs using it.

In the second and third years, through continuous alchemy practice, he successfully mastered the Fire-Wood Alchemy Technique.

Furthermore, it incorporates the strengths and weaknesses of the alchemy techniques from the previous world of cultivation.

His unique alchemy techniques are beginning to take shape.

If one continues to improve and creates one's own unique alchemy techniques, then it can be considered a lineage of alchemy.

Until the last two months of the third year.

Jiang Yun is already able to refine second-tier low-grade Fire Essence Pills, Wood Essence Pills, and Earth Essence Pills.

In other words, he has now become a second-tier low-grade alchemist.

This day.

The alchemy room where Jiang Yun was located.

The furnace crackled and popped inside.

A faint fragrance of elixir wafted from the gaps between the furnace lid and the alchemy furnace.

"receive!"

Jiang Yun used the pill-collecting technique from the Fire-Wood Pill Manual to collect the pill.

A round, second-grade low-level Fire Essence Pill, about the size of an eyeball, flew out of the furnace and landed in his hand.

The pill was still scalding hot. Jiang Yun looked at the pill and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Over the past three years, sixty portions of medicinal herbs were used. In the first year, twenty portions were successfully refined, and each time a second-tier pill was obtained."

"In the second year, twenty-four batches were refined, with four successes, yielding four second-tier pills."

"In the third year, only sixteen portions of medicinal materials remained. It wasn't until the second half of the year, when the Firewood Elixir Technique was fully mastered, that we began to refine them."

"Seven out of ten medicinal herbs were successfully refined, yielding nine second-tier pills. Six medicinal herbs remain."

Jiang Yun recalled the alchemy process over the past three years.

In the first and second years, a total of thirty-nine portions of medicinal herbs were wasted.

In two years, they only succeeded in refining it five times.

By the second half of the third year, he had mastered the Fire and Wood Elixir Technique, and his success rate in alchemy skyrocketed.

Sixteen portions of medicinal herbs remain.

Of the ten portions of medicinal materials refined, seven were successful.

The success rate of refining second-grade low-level pills is exactly 70%.

From this moment on...

Jiang Yun has officially been promoted to a second-tier, low-grade alchemist.

"After three years, I have finally become a second-tier low-grade alchemist."

"There are six portions of medicinal herbs remaining: two portions each of second-grade low-level Fire Essence Pill, Wood Essence Pill, and Earth Essence Pill."

"You have two attempts for each type of pill. If you can refine all three types of pills, you will be able to easily pass the clan leader's requirement for a second-tier low-grade alchemist."

The clan chief made a promise to Jiang Yun three years ago.

If he passes the assessment for a second-tier low-grade alchemist.

Then the Gathering Essence Pill will be given to him on the spot.

Jiang Yun currently has six portions of medicinal herbs left, and two portions of each type of pill.

This is a good opportunity to conduct a self-assessment.

If all six medicinal herbs pass the test.

Then the assessment of nine medicinal herbs can be easily handled.

Therefore, Jiang Yun began refining second-grade low-level pills again.

Starting with the second-tier low-grade Fire Essence Pill, then moving on to the Wood Essence Pill and the Earth Essence Pill.

The Fire Essence Pill and the Wood Essence Pill were successfully refined in one go, with two pills produced in each batch.

The first attempt at refining the Earth Essence Pill failed, but the second attempt succeeded, resulting in one pill.

Of the six portions of medicinal herbs, two remain.

"Each type of pill had two attempts, and I successfully refined a second-grade low-level Fire Element Pill, Wood Element Pill, and Earth Element Pill."

"You can go to the clan leader to take the test and get the Gathering Yuan Pill."

Jiang Yun lowered his head and put all the low-grade second-tier pills he had refined into his storage bag.

Upon discovering two more portions of medicinal herbs, he pondered for a moment.

"I currently possess nineteen low-grade second-tier pills."

"Refine the last two portions of medicinal herbs into elixirs as well."

"After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, you can exchange these pills for spirit stones, or keep them for yourself to improve your cultivation."

With this in mind, Jiang Yun immediately began refining pills.

Six days later, the last two portions of medicinal herbs were used up, yielding three pills.

Jiang Yun currently possesses a total of twenty-one low-grade second-tier pills.

"A second-grade low-level Yuan Dan can enhance the mana of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage. Price: 500 Yuan Stones."

"Twenty-one second-tier Yuan Pills are worth at least ten thousand Yuan Stones. The Yuan Stones used to buy the medicinal herbs have been recouped."

"However, refining a batch of second-grade low-level pills that enhance magical power takes at least three days."

"If you want to refine the pill pattern, you need at least seven days of nurturing, which is a huge time cost."

Jiang Yun shook his head inwardly.

Don't be fooled by the wealth of alchemists; they can earn a lot of spirit stones just by selling some pills.

However, considering the time cost, these are all returns that should be received.

Jiang Yun put all the pills into his storage bag and then walked out of the alchemy room.

He stood in the courtyard of the alchemy hall for a moment, then left the hall and went directly to find the clan leader.

Upon meeting the clan leader, Jiang Yun informed him that he had become a second-tier low-grade alchemist and asked the clan leader to prepare for the assessment.

In fact, another meaning behind his words was:

"Hurry and prepare the Gathering Essence Pill, I'll come get it right away!"
