Chapter 612 - 334: Mastery of Pill Techniques, Little Yellow Court Pill Complete!

"Young man, first comprehend the pill formula, there’s no time to lose. Once I’ve recovered for a day, we shall start refining immediately."

"Alright."

Su Mu’s eyes brightened as he received the remaining half scroll of the Little Yellow Court Pill formula from Master Cang. After experiencing the resources of the Cyan Fish Gang for some time,

the thought of creating a faction began to sprout in his mind. This Little Yellow Court Pill formula might be beneficial in such endeavors in the future.

At that moment, Master Cang swallowed a few pills to restore his mind and soon a thunderous sleep ensued. For the sake of alchemy, he scarcely closed his eyes during the past month. Despite being a Fourth-Grade Daoist Cultivator, Master Cang was somewhat exhausted.

The alchemy room was situated underground, usually extremely quiet, but now the snoring echoed throughout the entire underground dark hall.

Such a noisy environment did not affect Su Mu in the slightest.

"Refining requires three drops of essence blood each from the transmitter and heir, and also requires a strand of original power and spiritual power from the transmitter to refine into the ’Yellow Court Seed’..."

"The main materials require one Little Bodhi Seed, one Soul Nourishing Grass, and Millennium Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma..."

"The refinement must occur on a full moon night and must be set up in a place rich with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi... During the pill’s formation, it must undergo ’three purifications and three condensations.’ The pill formed should be jade-like, with mystical aura flowing inside, revealing a faint shadow of the Three Palace Yellow Court."

"It is best if the transmitter’s and heir’s cultivation technique share the same origin, and the process should be done willingly by the transmitter... After ingesting the pill, the ’Yellow Court Seed’ will quickly grow and merge with the heir, achieving fusion in a long period of one and a half years, or a short period of months, inheriting more than fifty percent but less than eighty percent of the transmitter’s cultivation."

"So that’s how it is!"

Su Mu quickly read through the combined pill formula, and the confusion within his heart disappeared. The Little Yellow Court Pill is an ancient pill with a quality reaching the Fourth Grade.

The Fourth-Grade ancient pill far exceeds the usual Fourth Grade Elixir in medicinal power. Su Mu estimated that its effects and value wouldn’t be inferior to that of a Third Grade Spirit Pill.

Not only is refinement demanding, but the transmission also has many restrictions. Crucially, it requires the transmitter’s willing participation.

Because of this, ordinary Loose Cultivators would find the Little Yellow Court Pill useless even if obtained and refined, as it is entirely prepared for disciples of Holy Land Dynasties and Noble Sect Clans.

"Somewhat... superfluous."

Eating is tasteless, yet abandoning it is a pity, Su Mu thought silently and began to carefully comprehend. No matter what, participating in the refinement of such high-grade ancient pills is beneficial for his alchemy skills.

After several comprehensions, Su Mu gained insight, closed his eyes slightly, and already had the pill formula ingrained in his mind.

Time quickly passed to the next day.

"Refining this pill will take at least three days and nights. Three days from now will be the last full moon of the year. I need you to control the fire and apply the ’Sacrificial Pill Technique’ to the nine auxiliary pills within the furnace. The main pill and ’Fusion Pill Technique’ will be handled by the old me."

Only at dusk did Master Cang awaken, after a sleep his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were mostly restored, with some color returning to his face.

Baili Feng and Baili Hongtang also arrived simultaneously, bringing with them two small jade bottles of essence blood, and a jade box sealed with the transmitter’s ’Yellow Court Seed’.

"Grandpa Zhou, I entrust my third brother Little Yellow Court Pill to you all!"

Baili Feng spoke solemnly, and beside him, his second sister Baili Hongtang noticed the pressure the elder brother invisibly exerted, and appropriately laughed lightly.

"You may proceed with refinement without feeling too much pressure!"

"Alright."

The door to the alchemy room slowly closed, and as the furnace fire rose, even Zhou Cang discreetly took a deep breath. To say he felt completely unburdened would certainly be false.

The difficulty in refining the Little Yellow Court Pill is not something ordinary Fourth Grade Elixir can match. For Zhou Cang’s decades-long alchemy career, this is also the most challenging trial.

He glanced sideways and saw Su Mu’s calm demeanor, with a hint of anticipation and excitement deep within his eyes.

"To have thunder in your heart but a calm lake on your face... The waves of the river push the waves of the front, indeed, I am old."

Withdrawing his gaze, Master Cang quickly adjusted his breath, realizing that beside him it’s not those three incompetent disciples, but with Su Mu beside him, he felt a sense of reassurance.

"Let’s begin."

In the path of cultivation, the most widely known are alchemy artifact, array, and talisman, all of which equally demand innate talent. Ordinary people might make entry-level progress but stop there; to achieve success requires talent.

The cultivation path almost cannot diverge from these four paths, as pills are needed as aids during cultivation, while weapons, arrays, and talismans can not only greatly enhance a cultivator’s capabilities but also serve as survival means, even for establishing sects or creating a faction.

Because of this, cultivators with achievements in alchemy artifact, array, and talisman are often highly regarded and can accumulate vast networks.

"Huff huff!"

"Huff huff huff!"

Underneath a three-legged Chi Dragon pattern pill furnace with six artifact patterns, of Fourth Grade quality, the furnace fire presented various states under their respective control.

With spiritual energy and Gang Force infused within, the furnace fire reached perfection.

"Add the auxiliary pills."

"Alright."

Su Mu’s deep eyes silently recorded all the subtle changes in fire conditions and the pill’s fragrance at this moment. Without hesitation, he immediately added nine Sixth Grade quality auxiliary pills.

About half a day later, Zhou Cang solemnly took out an exquisite white jade box containing a pill the size of a baby’s fist, which appeared milky white with six intricate pill patterns, five clear, and the sixth faintly visible.

As the pill was retrieved, a layer of spiritual mist quickly condensed around the hand holding it visibly, a manifestation of the overly concentrated medicinal power spilling out, condensed by the fragrant aroma.

"Boom boom boom!"

When the main pill entered the furnace, the three-legged Chi Dragon pattern pill furnace vibrated as if the pill inside were coming to life, ramming the inner wall of the furnace. Seeing this, Master Cang immediately formed a hand seal, channeling spiritual energy into the furnace to activate and suppress the artifact patterns.
