Chapter 68 Infant Pill, Pill Recipe!
Tianya Academy, the alchemy room in Danxia Pavilion.
"How is it? How is my training going?"
Bai Ling asked anxiously.
"..."
Lin Yixuan was silent.
"It's okay, just tell me directly, I understand!"
Bai Ling said disappointedly.
"Actually, you have pretty good control."
Lin Yixuan said.
(I really couldn’t think of anything to comfort her. If I said something that would be too discouraging to her, what if she didn’t want to make pills anymore? Wouldn’t she still have to do the work of such a large medicinal field by herself?)
"If you don't know how to praise someone, don't force yourself to do it. Listen to yourself, are you praising someone for making pills?"
Bai Ling said with her cheeks puffed out in anger.
"I'm telling the truth. Control and concentration are very important when it comes to alchemy!"
Lin Yixuan explained.
(I remember the master also said that concentration is very important)
"Okay, I'll believe you for now. Then how should I make the elixir?" Bai Ling asked.
"You should do this first... and then... this way...!"
A year passed like this.
An afternoon in the alchemy room of Danxia Pavilion.
"Wow, I finally succeeded! Although the quality is a little low, this is a Xuan-grade primary elixir."
Bai Ling said excitedly.
"Congratulations, your alchemy level has reached the initial stage of Xuanpin."
Lin Yixuan praised.
"That's all thanks to Junior Brother Yi's good teaching. Junior Brother Yi is probably able to refine a mid-level Xuan-grade elixir now."
Bai Ling said enviously.
"Not quite there yet, but it will be soon. By the way, I never asked you, what is your current level of cultivation, Senior Sister?"
Lin Yixuan asked.
"The foundation has been built to perfection, and the elixir is about to form."
Bai Ling said.
"Then why doesn't Senior Sister form a pill?"
Lin Yixuan asked doubtfully.
"It's not that easy to form a golden elixir. I've been stuck at the foundation-building stage for more than two years! To break through to the golden elixir stage, you need the right time, right place, and right people. That means a place with sufficient spiritual energy, and you also need to prepare the Lingxu elixir for the breakthrough. Only then will you have a chance to break through successfully. A hundred years have passed in a hurry. If you don't reach the golden elixir stage, you will only have a hundred years to live. Many people in the academy have stayed at the foundation-building stage their entire lives and cannot break through!"
Bai Ling became more and more discouraged as she spoke.
(Is it so difficult to break through the Golden Core stage? No wonder those people, knowing that there are many geniuses, still want to participate in the trial and strive for a place to enter the Heavenly Star Pool. This Heavenly Star Pool is indeed a good place, no wonder they sent people to verify their identities, causing the covetousness of outsiders!)
Lin Yixuan was thinking.
"Junior brother, junior brother. What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Bai Ling placed her hand in front of Lin Yixuan's eyes and waved it, seeing no response, and asked.
"Nothing, it's just that I'm now in the middle stage of foundation building. In fact, Lin Yixuan is already in the middle stage of golden elixir. I'm afraid my chances of forming a golden elixir by then will be slim."
Lin Yixuan explained.
"It's okay. The 'Bi Luo Fairy Valley' will be open in three years. When we go in, we'll have a chance to break through to the Jindan stage." Bai Ling said excitedly.
"What is 'Bi Luo Xian Gu'?"
Lin Yixuan asked curiously.
"'Bi Luo Xian Gu' is an ancient secret place that is only open once every thirty years. Only the top 50 people who participate in the competition held by the academy can enter."
Bai Ling explained.
"Then don't we have to participate too? I don't know how to fight, so how can I get in then?"
Lin Yixuan asked.
(You can find an opportunity to learn some moves, it shouldn't be difficult to be in the top 50!)
"We don't have to participate in the competition. For this, you have to thank our master. He is not only the only earth-grade alchemist in our academy, but also the only earth-grade alchemist in the entire Yan Kingdom. He has three additional admission quotas. As long as you can reach the great perfection of the foundation-building stage before the secret realm opens, the master will definitely give us the quota and let us in!"
Bai Ling said proudly.
(I didn’t expect that Elder Wan had such a high status and received such special treatment. It really saved me a lot of trouble!)
"Let's go. It's been such a long time since we last visited our master. Let's go and pay our respects to him."
Lin Yixuan said.
"Yes, I have to tell Master about my breakthrough to become a Xuan-grade Alchemist!"
Bai Ling said excitedly.
Tianya Academy, in a room on the second floor of Wanjuan Building.
"Why are you here? Have you been practicing well recently?"
Elder Wan asked.
"Master, Master, I have achieved a breakthrough to become a Xuan-grade Alchemist."
Bai Ling excitedly showed off to Elder Wan.
"What? You can refine a mysterious elixir?"
Elder Wan looked at Bai Ling in surprise.
Bai Ling nodded seriously and handed the low-grade Xuan-grade elixir that she had just refined to Elder Wan.
Elder Wan took the pill and looked at it again and again.
(The quality is a little worse, and the medicinal effect has also been lost a lot, but it is indeed a mysterious elixir.)
Elder Wan looked at Bai Ling carefully again, then looked at Lin Yixuan and asked.
"Did you teach it?"
"According to your 'alchemy experience'."
Lin Yixuan explained.
"What about you? What grade of elixir can you refine?"
Elder Wan said.
"The middle level of Xuanpin is a bit of a stretch."
Lin Yixuan replied.
(After all, his cultivation level is there, and it is almost at the limit of the middle stage of foundation building!)
"Really?"
Elder Wan said in surprise.
Lin Yixuan nodded.
Elder Wan took out the recipe for the Infant Transformation Pill from the table and handed it to Lin Yixuan.
"Come, come and see if there is any problem with this recipe?"
Lin Yixuan took the recipe, but his heart couldn't help but beat violently.
(Just handing the recipe to me like that? What was Elder Wan thinking?)
"What is this? The Infant Transformation Pill? Could it be a pill that can improve the success rate of the Golden Core's advancement to the Nascent Soul?"
Lin Yixuan said in pretended surprise.
"Yes, that's right. This is the recipe that the dean brought back from the ancient secret realm. I've been troubled by this matter recently. This girl can't understand my experience in alchemy, but you can understand it and even guide her in alchemy. I guess you have your own ideas about alchemy."
Elder Wan explained.
"But I..."
Lin Yixuan was about to speak to explain but was interrupted.
"In spiritual practice, those who have achieved success have always been first. There is no such thing as first come first served. The same is true for alchemy. For alchemy, those who have achieved success have always been first. We should pool our wisdom and share our own alchemy experiences. Only in this way can we reach a higher level in our alchemy practice."
Elder Wan persuaded.
(You've said all you can say, what else can I say?)
"Okay, I'll look into it."
After Lin Yixuan finished speaking, he looked at the recipe for the Infant Transformation Pill.
'The main ingredients needed for the Infant Transformation Pill are: Bodhi Fruit, Water of Life, Phoenix Blood, Holy Spirit Liquid, and Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng. There are dozens of auxiliary ingredients.'
(Besides the Bodhi Fruit, Phoenix Blood, and the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, I have a little knowledge of them, but I have no impression of the Water of Life and the Holy Spirit Liquid, and I have never even heard anyone mention them!)
