Chapter 246 - Alchemy
The journey was smooth.
Back to the Hundred Herb Immortal Workshop.
After glancing at Yu'er, who was still crawling around in the middle of the pool, He Song turned around and entered the alchemy room.
Today, a large number of mature spirit medicines had been harvested, and many materials for refining the Hundred Beasts Pill had also been purchased.
Next.
It was also time to launch an assault on the alchemy technique, and make himself able to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills as soon as possible.
Only when he was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills in the future, He Song would go and purchase some auxiliary medicines and start utilizing these newly harvested spirit medicines of his own for the refinement of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
Earth Spirit Ginseng, Green Spirit Fruit, and Fateful Spirit Flower.
These were all main medicines that were worth a lot of money and were used to refine the Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill.
After refining the Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill, its price would naturally not be low.
And even if they weren't sold and brought for their own use, these pills could save He Song many spirit stones.
In the following days.
He Song quickly immersed himself in cultivation and alchemy.
Every day.
He Song, apart from his daily cultivation.
He had already put down all other things and began to concentrate on his alchemy.
Even the Rune Dao, He Song had completely put it behind him.
In this way, time passed day by day.
He Song quickly mastered the refining method of the Hundred Beasts Dan and successfully refined the Hundred Beasts Dan.
One day.
He Song, who was inside the alchemy room, reached out and gently tapped towards the furnace in front of him.
With a soft sound, several pills instantly jumped out of the furnace and were steadily collected by He Song into the jade bottle in his hand.
Harvesting spirit medicines required placing them within the jade box in order to maintain the medicinal properties.
When refining pills, naturally, the pills also need to be placed within the jade bottle to maintain their medicinal effects.
When He Song first learned how to make pills, he had purchased many jade bottles in the Hundred Herb Immortal Workshop.
Naturally, there was no shortage of jade bottles in his hands.
Bringing the bottle in front of him, He Song slightly weighed it, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Not bad, there are as many as five pills in the first furnace."
"This Hundred Beasts Dan, although it's quite tedious to refine, the number of pills after it's finished is guaranteed."
"However, it is because the demonic beast essence blood is expensive and the cost is too high that many alchemists are unwilling to refine this Dan, which is why the price of this Dan remains high."
"Can't blame them either."
"This Demonic Beast Essence Blood is widely sought after amongst the Demonic Cultivators, and the price has his reasons for being expensive."
Waving his hand to dispel the pungent bloody odor at the tip of his nose, He Song frowned, and the reason why the Hundred Beasts Pill was expensive flashed through his mind.
Essence blood, souls, white bones, and so on and so forth these things were not worthless.
Especially the various materials related to demonic cultivators were quite expensive.
But the refining of the Hundred Beasts Dan must be demonic beast essence blood.
And the price of demonic beast blood, compared to purchasing the finished Hundred Beasts Dan, has been considered a lot cheaper.
Purchasing demonic beast essence blood for refining the Hundred Beasts Dan by oneself, even more so, only requires a cost price.
With other cultivators who wanted to cultivate spirit beasts.
Compared to other cultivators who wanted to cultivate spirit beasts, or other alchemists who were refining Hundred Beasts Pills.
Compared to them, he had a huge advantage.
After thinking about this, He Song was relieved.
Taking the jade bottle in his hand, He Song quickly left the alchemy room and arrived in the mansion.
Too much time had passed.
He Song did not find any trace of Yu'er in the pool.
As a last resort, He Song could only probe out his divine sense and shroud the entire mansion, only then did he find Yu'er's trace in a dark corner.
At this time.
Several months have passed since He Song brought Yu'er back to the residence.
After months of time, he finally refined a furnace of Hundred Beasts Dan, He Song naturally wanted to feed it to Jade, to see how the effect of this Hundred Beasts Dan really is.
Manipulating his divine sense, he held Jade in front of him.
He Song gently stroked its little head, signaling it to open its mouth.
Unfortunately.
The jade child was confused and did not pay attention to He Song's gesture.
Seeing this situation, He Song had no choice but to get his hands on it, broke open its mouth, and then stuffed a Hundred Beasts Dan into it.
The Hundred Beasts Pill went into its stomach.
He Song casually pinched its mouth to prevent the elixir from being spat out.
Only then did he begin to quietly observe the changes in Yu'er.
At first, while taking the Hundred Beasts Dan, Jade did not undergo any changes.
However, as time passed, a smear of blood-colored lines faintly appeared on top of its white jade-like body.
Seeing this, He Song raised an eyebrow and was about to take a closer look, but then he saw that the blood-colored lines only flickered on its body, and then lost track of it.
Next, no matter how He Song checked, he could no longer tell anything from it.
However.
While time continued to pass, He Song was able to clearly feel that the spiritual energy in Yu'er's body began to slowly grow after taking the Hundred Beasts Dan.
If one were to say that without taking the Hundred Beasts Pill, Yu'er's cultivation growth was almost as slow as a turtle crawling.
Then, after taking the Hundred Beasts Pill, the cultivation growth rate in Yu'er's body was as if she had turned into a rabbit running, and had become quite fast.
Comparing the two, He Song came to the conclusion.
After taking the Hundred Beasts Pill, Yu'er's cultivation would increase at a much faster rate than before.
As for how much faster.
He Song didn't have a reference, so naturally, he couldn't calculate it.
However, Jade's cultivation breakthrough speed from now on would definitely be much faster than before.
Perhaps, it might even be possible for it to help He Song in a few decades, or even a few centuries, or a few thousand years later.
As for now
Looking at the clueless Jade in front of him, He Song did not hold much hope in his heart.
If he wanted to help himself, Yu'er's cultivation would have to be above Foundation Establishment.
According to Yu'er's current cultivation rate, want to build the foundation, I'm afraid that time will have to be a few decades later.
Casually put the jade bottle in his hand into the storage bag.
He Song threw Yu'er into the pool, and then entered the alchemy room to start refining the dan.
Hundred Beasts Dan this thing.
Once a day, one capsule at a time is enough.
If it was too much, the medicinal effect would stagnate in the spirit beast's body, and it would be more trouble than it was worth.
Instead of that, it's better to feed it once a day and leave afterward.
Just as He Song did.
Once again, he returned to the alchemy room.
Inside the alchemy room.
After adjusting his body and mind, He Song quickly immersed himself in alchemy again.
First, it was still the Hundred Beasts Dan.
He Song had to refine some of the Hundred Beasts Dan to be prepared for emergencies.
Of course, going to feed Yu'er a Hundred Beasts Dan every day would be too much trouble for He Song.
In that case, it would be better to refine some Hundred Beasts Pills and put them into a storage bag and give it to a Spirit Puppet.
Give the Spirit Puppet the command to take out a Hundred Beasts Pill from the storage bag every day and feed it to Yu'er.
In this way, He Song would not find it troublesome, but would also be able to allow Yu'er to eat the Hundred Beasts Dan every day, it was simply perfect.
Following this line of thought.
He Song soon began to refine a large amount of Hundred Beasts Dan.
This refining took several months.
After several months of refining, the Hundred Beasts Dan in He Song's hand continued to become more and more.
In total, there were 300 mid-stage Qi cultivation Hundred Beasts Dan.
The difficulty of refining the Hundred Beasts Dan was not high, but because He Song was a beginner, he failed many times.
The number of times the pills were actually made was only about thirty times.
Therefore, even though there were basically eight to twelve Hundred Beast Dans in a furnace, in the end, there were only three hundred Hundred Beast Dans.
However, He Song was satisfied with this result.
With these three hundred Hundred Beast Pills.
At least within a year, Yu'er could eat a Hundred Beasts Dan every day without worrying about her cultivation growing too slowly.
When there are no more Hundred Beasts Dan.
She could just refine it herself.
Anyway, although the Hundred Beasts Pill is a bit tedious to refine, it doesn't take too much time since He Song has already built his foundation.
Moreover.
He Song naturally didn't find it troublesome to take advantage of this time to continuously sharpen his alchemy skills.
After putting all the Hundred Beasts Dan on his body into a storage bag and handing it over to Qingfeng, so that Qingfeng would go looking for Yu'er every day and feed it a Hundred Beasts Dan, He Song no longer cared about this matter.
Instead, he turned his head and began to study other Dan formulas.
For example, the Qi Condensation Dan formula.
Qi Condensation Pill was used by late stage cultivators to enhance their cultivation, and under the Great Perfection of Qi Practicing, it could very well enhance the cultivation speed of cultivators.
This kind of elixir, He Song had been in the middle of studying it, but had never mastered it.
The Qi Condensation Dan was a top-grade elixir.
It was a higher grade than the mid-grade Hundred Beasts Dan, mid-grade Qi Gathering Dan, and other pills that He Song had previously refined.
Naturally, it was also much more difficult to refine.
Although the Qi Gathering Pill was one of the simplest of the top-grade pills, it still allowed He Song to delve into it for a long time, but he had never gotten started.
But the good thing is.
He Song is a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator.
He had even learned the Qigong Technique, the Foundation Establishment Technique, early on.
He Song was able to quickly grasp the contents of the Dan Dao's introductory chapter.
According to He Song's estimation, he should soon be able to master the method of refining the Qi Condensation Pill.
Although the success rate shouldn't be too high.
But it was also considered a firm step on the path of an alchemist.
In this way.
Several more months passed.
On a certain day.
Inside the alchemy room.
He Song's expression was focused, his gaze fixed on the Dan furnace in front of him, and a spiritual light flickered in his eyes.
He was exercising the Qi Looking Technique, observing the flow of spiritual qi inside the furnace to determine if this alchemy could be successful.
At a certain moment, He Song, who originally had a focused expression on his face, suddenly loosened his expression and brought a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Alright, alright, Qi Condensation Dan, it's done!"
After saying that, He Song pinched his hand, and a flash of spiritual light was immediately struck within the Dan furnace.
Very quickly.
The spiritual light flew out from within the Dan furnace again.
However, as it flew out, there were several pills mixed within the spiritual light.
Immediately, a Dan fragrance instantly filled the surroundings, making people feel refreshed and reminiscent upon smelling it.
As an alchemist.
He Song ignored the dan fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, and at some point a small jade bottle had appeared in his hand.
When the aura flew out and returned to He Song's body, the jade bottle in his hand also happened to contain all of the pills that were caught in the aura.
When the spirit light dissipated, the pills all fell into the jade bottle.
He Song's eyes swept over the pills in the jade bottle, and a color of delight flickered in his eyes.
Today.
He had finally refined a furnace of Qi Condensation Dan.
