Chapter 629: Chapter 236: The Subtlety of Special Treasure Artifacts, 7 Days? (Part 2)

Once they were refined, they were gone.

Therefore, he needed another kind of main spirit pill.

And so, the spirit pill suitable for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm stood out.

Although there were quite a few Alchemy Masters in Celestial Essence City who excelled at refining this spirit pill.

Even the Patriarch of the Zou Family, Zou Wenqiang, was actually skilled in refining this spirit pill.

However, the demand for the Essence Enhancement Pill was actually huge.

Not only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, but many late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners, in order to quickly enhance their cultivation, would also use this kind of spirit pill to increase their cultivation speed.

Therefore, in the Celestial Essence City market, this spirit pill is still quite scarce.

Apart from some Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators with fixed quotas, many people who want to buy Essence Enhancement Pills can only purchase them at a premium in some black markets and auctions.

Hence, there are so many forces looking to order Essence Enhancement Pills from him.

Of course, aside from that, he himself also had a considerable demand for this spirit pill.

Ordinary low-grade spirit pills were tolerable.

He didn’t really care much.

Previously, he had always been using mid-grade and top-grade Essence Enhancement Pills for cultivation.

The effects were remarkable.

In just over a month, his cultivation had already increased from the original first-layer Foundation Establishment (18/100) to the current first-layer Foundation Establishment (38/100).

Although part of this was due to the spiritual qi in Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land becoming richer, and his own cultivation aptitude reaching a relatively profound level.

But it must be said, the efficacy of the spirit pill was still significant.

Especially the top-grade Essence Enhancement Pill, the efficiency after using it for cultivation left him savoring the experience even now.

Naturally, he wanted more top-grade, or even top-grade Essence Enhancement Pills for cultivation, to enhance his cultivation.

"A hundred sets of Essence Enhancement Pill materials, even if piled up, should be enough to refine a few top-grade Essence Enhancement Pills."

Zhou Changwang thought to himself, then walked toward the Alchemy Furnace.

Zou Shuixiu and Zou Yin Hua knew since Zhou Changwang began gathering spiritual materials that he was about to refine spirit pills.

Moreover, the refining was to be of the Second Grade Initial Tier Spirit Pill, the Essence Enhancement Pill.

Hence, even if they felt it might be overstepping, upon seeing him about to enter the Alchemy Room, they courageously approached and respectfully saluted, saying, "Peak Master, are you planning to refine pills?"

Seeing Zhou Changwang nod, Zou Yin Hua cautiously asked, "Could we accompany you? Even if we can’t be much of a help, we can assist the Peak Master in handling some spiritual materials.

Rest assured, Peak Master, we will not and do not dare to disturb your pill refining."

Zhou Changwang discerned their little thoughts.

Indeed.

For an alchemy master, if they want to achieve something in this field, it’s necessary to learn more, watch more, and practice more.

Zhou Changwang didn’t know their alchemy skill levels, but it was quite evident that they wanted to seize the opportunity to learn a few tricks from him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Changwang nodded.

He wasn’t afraid of anyone learning his skills.

His alchemy techniques were all derived from some Jade Scrolls, and his real alchemy experience was enhanced through the Attribute Panel.

In fact, the techniques and pill formulas were relatively ordinary.

There was nothing in particular to guard against.

As for the quantity and grade of refined pills.

The quantity might not be hidden, but as for the grade.

If not observed closely, a general alchemy master won’t have the eye power to determine its specific quality.

Then, a group of people directly headed to the Alchemy Room.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Changwang summoned the Five Dragons Fire-Splitting Furnace, which stood in the middle of the pill room.

Zhen Guang followed suit, casting the Cleaning Technique.

Zou Shuixiu hurriedly stepped forward, clumsily using the Cleaning Technique.

Zou Yin Hua also quickly got busy, taking several array flags from her storage bag and started setting up the Dust Removal and Fire Prevention Array.

This array, besides maintaining cleanliness within the array as it was, also had some function of preventing fire from affecting the surrounding structures.

Additionally, they quickly took out Silence Talismans, sticking them on themselves to ensure no sound would escape, affecting Zhou Changwang’s alchemy.

One must admit, this arrangement, not to say professional, was at least very earnest in attitude.

Zhou Changwang nodded in approval, then passed the storage bag containing a hundred sets of Essence Enhancement Pill materials over.

The two of them swiftly began dividing and allotting, commencing the final processing of these finished spiritual materials.

If there was anything they didn’t understand, they would softly inquire here and there.

Upon occasionally receiving Zhou Changwang’s approval, they would be quite delighted and quickly immerse themselves back in their busyness.

Zhou Changwang observed silently.

He had a sense of being greatly enlightened.

So, it turns out, there was so much preparation needed before alchemy.

Instead, he.

Upon getting the materials, he directly started refining.

Although his success rate was not diminished much, seeing their handling of the spiritual materials and further trimming of impurities, he thought for a bit and understood the significance, realizing that this could somewhat enhance the pill quality.

"In comparison.

After all, I am self-taught.

And my alchemy practice seems somewhat coarse.

This, to some extent, affected the quality of the refined pills."

Zhou Changwang mused silently.

Just like some dust-free rooms or vacuum laboratories in his previous life... in truly meticulous experiments, fine airborne impurities could cause unexpected results, leading to experiment failure.

The same applies to alchemy.

Besides airborne impurities, various spiritual qi and element particles wandering around could also influence pill quality to some degree.

It’s just that he previously lacked this setup and awareness.

But through the actions of the Zou sisters, he couldn’t help but feel that success in every field indeed requires meticulous preparation and handling.

The reason he succeeded previously was largely due to the Attribute Panel.

Otherwise, just the entry-level phase alone would have required him to spend dozens or even hundreds of times more effort.

Then, Zhou Changwang began the formal alchemy.

He extended his hand, summoning the Nanming Li Fire, which quickly surged into the alchemy furnace.

Then he sequentially placed a batch of spiritual materials, meticulously prepared by the Zou sisters, into the furnace.

Long before, he had already mastered the refinement of Essence Enhancement Pill to the mastery level.

Now refining it again, he was naturally familiar with the process.

Handling the materials, it felt quite proficient.

The fusion of various spiritual materials and spiritual liquid also progressed smoothly.

The speed was extremely fast.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

As he used the Condensing Pill Technique.

Instantly, countless medicinal liquids fused in the furnace, transforming into a spirit pill the size of a fist.

This spirit pill was entirely white, but upon closer inspection, one could still see patches of spots.

These were actually some unrefined impurities in the pill, needing to be removed.

But since they were already blended into the pill, it was now incredibly difficult to eliminate them.

Thus, Zhou Changwang began to execute the most crucial technique.

The Separation Pill Technique.

With a special alchemy skill, he tried to blend the mottled parts into a small portion of the spirit pills, then drew the essence into several other spirit pills.

Soon, the Separation Pill Technique was executed.

The entire ’large’ spirit pill was smoothly divided into several considerably smaller, yet standard-sized spirit pills.

"Collect!"

Finally, Zhou Changwang used the Pill Collection Technique.

Instantly, ten or so spirit pills flew out of the furnace.

"Thirteen pills refined, one wasted pill, seven low-grade spirit pills, four middle-grade spirit pills, and one top-grade pill.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

I didn’t expect the first furnace to produce a top-grade spirit pill."

Seeing this, Zhou Changwang’s eyes lit up.

Then he took out a pill bottle and carefully collected them all.

"This is just the beginning.

Continue!"

Without any hesitation, Zhou Changwang proceeded.

With a wave of his hand.

The well-prepared Zou sisters quickly sent over other processed spiritual materials.

Zhou Changwang took a glance.

Seven sets!

He wasn’t dissatisfied.

He directly placed these seven sets of materials into the furnace one by one.

Simultaneously refining seven spirit pills naturally required much greater expertise from the alchemy master, and his expression showed some seriousness.

But after half an hour.
