Volume 8: Peak of the Star Domain Chapter 1080 Blood-red Pill!
As Li Xuanfeng continued to integrate the essence extracted from the refining materials, a faint medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the Star Lord's Palace, which made Li Xuanfeng feel relaxed and happy, and even the blood in his body showed a faint desire.
Feeling the fluctuation of Qi and blood in his body, Li Xuanfeng suddenly felt the efficacy of the ancestral pill more clearly.
However, the medicinal fragrance did not rush out of the Star Lord's Palace, but was blocked by the palace's formation, so that Cai Siyuan and Tang Wu outside did not notice it at all.
Although Cai Siyuan's cultivation level is in the middle stage of the Duyuan Realm, the formation of the Star Lord's Palace is already at a decent Duyuan Realm level, and Li Xuanfeng improved it again after coming to Tianhai Star.
If it is just perception, even the spiritual power of the late stage of Duyuan Realm cannot penetrate this formation. Only the powerful people in the perfect stage of Duyuan Realm can vaguely sense a little breath, but it is also extremely vague.
But if one wants to break the formation by force, a great master in the late stage of Duyuan Realm can already do it, it just takes some time.
Of course, if Li Xuanfeng controls the formation from inside to resist, even those in the late stage of Duyuan Realm will not be able to break the formation by force. Only those in the perfect stage of Duyuan Realm can do it.
As the refining process continued, the essence of the materials floating in the air became less and less, and most of them had been fused in the alchemy furnace into essence balls that looked like pill blanks.
This fusion also took most of the day, and finally turned into three essence balls inside the alchemy furnace.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed slightly, a hint of expectation emerged in his expression, and he suddenly began to fuse the three medicinal materials.
At this time Li Xuanfeng was still extremely cautious. If this final fusion failed, then the previous day and a half would be completely wasted, and the refining materials would also be wasted.
With Li Xuanfeng's full efforts in refining, the fusion of the first two essence groups went quite smoothly. After one stick of incense, it was completed, and the first two essence groups were fused into one.
Because Li Xuanfeng had already neutralized the conflicting medicinal properties of various herbs very well, the final fusion was still quite smooth.
Then Li Xuanfeng began to fuse the last essence group. Although it was the last step, Li Xuanfeng still did not relax at all, and was even more nervous.
Because four of the five materials he used for the first time were in this last essence ball.
The final fusion went quite smoothly at the beginning, but after a moment, Li Xuanfeng's expression changed slightly, and he noticed that the fusion was a little unstable!
Although Li Xuanfeng immediately tried his best to suppress this instability and wanted to eliminate it bit by bit, this instability was still slowly spreading!
Bang!
Less than half an hour later, a shocking muffled sound came from the alchemy furnace in front of Li Xuanfeng, and helplessness suddenly emerged on his face.
The first refining failed.
Although Li Xuanfeng was extremely cautious and had done every step before to perfection, he still failed.
The reason for the failure of refining was exactly what Li Xuanfeng was worried about. The five materials used for the first time conflicted with other medicinal materials, causing instability.
However, the failure of the first refining did not surprise Li Xuanfeng. He had already prepared for the first failure.
But the second time he refined it, Li Xuanfeng was unwilling to fail again.
After pouring out the residue in the furnace, Li Xuanfeng closed his eyes again, carefully recalling the reasons for the instability in the refining process just now, as well as the specific medicinal properties of the five materials used for the first time.
Although there are records in the classics collected by the Five Elements Venerable, they are classics from thousands of years ago after all. As the environment of the cultivation world changes, these growing medicinal herbs have also undergone many changes.
Moreover, because there are various other materials involved, the medicinal properties that need to be paid attention to when actually refining are far more than those recorded in these classics. It is impossible to fully understand them just by looking at the classics, and one also needs to explore them through practice.
As Li Xuanfeng's refining failed at this time, the scene of the Star Lord Palace absorbing spiritual power from the outside world suddenly stopped. After waiting for a moment, Cai Siyuan suddenly felt a lot of worries in his heart.
He knew that the Bai tribe leader's first refining had ended, and it was most likely a failure.
If the refining was successful, the leader of the Bai tribe should have called him into the Star Lord's palace or sent the pill out.
In worry, Cai Siyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Did he still expect the Lord of the Bai Clan to succeed in refining it in one go?
This is a pill that the other three Duyuan Realm alchemists have no confidence in being able to successfully refine within three times. If the Lord of the Bai Clan can succeed in the last time, it will be extremely amazing.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Li Xuanfeng opened his eyes again. There was a gleam of light in his eyes. He suddenly started the second refining, also starting with refining dozens of refining materials.
Li Xuanfeng's speed did not increase this time, because the refining speed of dozens of materials used before was already extremely fast, and the five materials used for the first time still needed to be steady.
In his recollection of the failed refining just now, Li Xuanfeng already knew the reason for the failure, and he also speculated on several possible subsequent problems.
Although Li Xuanfeng was extremely confident at this point, he still could not be careless , because the problems that might arise from the five materials being used for the first time might not have been fully exposed.
After another day and a half, there were only three essence balls left in the alchemy furnace in front of Li Xuanfeng, and he began to fuse two of them again.
After refining all the materials this time, Li Xuanfeng made slight changes to the order of integrating the various essences, which was slightly different from the previous time.
This is to better neutralize the medicinal properties of several materials that had previously conflicted with each other and caused failure, so as to avoid the previous accidents from happening again.
After less than half an hour, the first two essence groups merged successfully again. A trace of solemnity flashed in Li Xuanfeng's eyes, and he started the final fusion again.
Li Xuanfeng paid close attention to every step and soon reached the node where he had failed in the last refining. However, this time he passed it very smoothly.
In other words, the failure of the last refining process has been easily avoided.
Although he had avoided the failure of last time, Li Xuanfeng still did not relax at all. Instead, he continued to refine with a more serious look.
Refining pills does not necessarily lead to success by avoiding the previous failure. On the contrary, because the previous refining paused at the point of failure, the subsequent refining is the first attempt and is more likely to fail.
If an unknown problem arises again, it is very likely to lead to another failure in refining.
But maybe Li Xuanfeng was lucky, or maybe he had already deduced and avoided all possible problems.
Although there was a slight instability again at the end of this refining, it was much milder than the first time. Under Li Xuanfeng's full suppression, it did not spread further.
Less than half an hour later, an extremely strong medicinal fragrance suddenly emanated from the alchemy furnace in front of Li Xuanfeng. It spread rapidly and filled the entire Star Lord Palace in a few breaths.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng raised his hand and slapped the air. The lid of the alchemy furnace suddenly opened, and a blood-red pill flew out from it, as if it was solidified blood.
The medicinal fragrance that enveloped the entire Star Lord's Palace was emanating from this blood-red pill.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed with brilliance. After carefully feeling the aura emitted by the pill, he did not call out to Cai Siyuan, but closed his eyes again.
Li Xuanfeng closed his eyes and meditated this time in order to find the reason for the final instability and eliminate it. Otherwise, although he succeeded this time, it would still affect the subsequent success rate of refining and the quality of the pill.
Cai Siyuan, who was outside the Star Lord's Palace, felt that the gathering spiritual power had stopped again, and the Bai Tribe Leader still hadn't notified him. The tension in his heart suddenly reached its highest point.
It seems that the second refining has failed again. There is only one last chance left. If it fails again, the sect master’s years of preparation will be completely in vain.
But now the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. Since I have chosen to believe in the Bai tribe leader, I can only continue to believe and hope that he can succeed one last time.
Now that the leader of the Bai tribe has already refined it twice, he is the person most likely to succeed. Even if the last attempt is handed over to other alchemists in the Duyuan realm, it will probably be wasted.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Li Xuanfeng began to refine again, but this time he was no longer just refining the Return to Ancestors Pill, but was also refining another kind of Source Realm Pill at the same time.
Moreover, most of the materials used to refine this elixir are the same as those used to refine the Atavism Pill.
Li Xuanfeng first refined all the materials needed to refine the two kinds of pills, and then took the lead in refining the other kind of Duyuan Realm pill.
If there were other alchemists watching, they would find that Li Xuanfeng was refining the medicine very casually, as if he didn't care whether it would fail or not, or as if he wanted it to fail.
Sure enough, after half an hour, a muffled sound suddenly came from the alchemy furnace, which was even more shocking than the first time the refining of the ancestral pill failed. The refining of this furnace of pills failed.
After Li Xuanfeng poured out the residue in the alchemy furnace, he immediately began to refine the ancestral pill for the third time.
Because Li Xuanfeng's movements were extremely fast, and he continued to absorb spiritual power after his failure, the spiritual power gathering above the Star Lord's Palace was not interrupted.
The materials for the Ancestral Pill have just been refined. Now Li Xuanfeng can start the fusion directly, and naturally he needs to continue absorbing spiritual energy.
Soon, Cai Siyuan in the outside world noticed that the absorption of spiritual energy during the third refining had not stopped after nearly an hour, and a strong sense of anticipation suddenly emerged on his face.
During the first two refining processes, Cai Siyuan paid close attention to the changes in the sky above the Star Lord's Palace, knowing how long the absorption of spiritual power would last.
Cai Siyuan knew even more that although the time it took to absorb spiritual power the second time was longer than the first time, it was not much longer.
At this time, the third refining time has already exceeded the time of the previous two refining times to absorb spiritual energy, which means that the refining process has been longer and is closer to success.
