Chapter 20: Dao-Grade Mystic Condensation Pill, Exhausted
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, arriving at the Nie family's trading company, Su Yi took the midnight flower and white deer Ganoderma from Nie Ling's hands and headed straight for the earth fire venue.
Compared to his first time refining pills, this time, Su Yi appeared to be at ease.
Turning on the furnace, he methodically refined and fused the pills.
Every step was done as perfectly as possible.
However, even so, the failure rate of refining the mystic condensation pill still reached more than 50%.
This was despite the existence of the Time Pill Alchemy Technique. Even Su Yi did not understand how those apothecaries were able to persevere.
[Hint: pill refinement successful. Obtained: Low-grade mystic condensing pill.]
[Hint: The temperature is too high. The materials are scrapped. Pill refinement failed.]
[Hint: Pill refinement successful. Obtained: Middle-grade mystic condensing pill.]
[Hint: The temperature is too high. The materials are scrapped. Pill refinement failed.]
...
For the next seven days, Su Yi continued to refine the mystic condensing pills without rest.
Over 700 portions of materials were being consumed rapidly at the rate of 100 portions per day.
However, the average number of pills completed in a day was only 40-50.
Su Yi seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but if other apothecaries were to find out about this pill forging rate, they would definitely go crazy.
On the last day, Su Yi was left with ten portions of materials. After meditating for half a day, he began to refine.
Although the data did not indicate much, the experience accumulated from the past seven days allowed Su Yi to have a deeper comprehension of pill refinement.
Turning on the furnace, refining, fusing...
[Hint: pill refining successful, obtained: high-grade mystic condensation pill.]
[Hint: the temperature is too high, the materials are scrapped, pill refining failed.]
...
When he came to the last set of materials, Su Yi suddenly had an epiphany. His true essence surged out and he urged the earth fire to burn fiercely.
At this moment, the entire pill furnace was burning bright red, and one could vaguely see the changes in the pill furnace.
The demon more melted into pure spirit qi essence and combined with the other medicinal herbs that had been purified.
Under Su Yi's control, this batch of medicinal pills began to flow and revolve, dyed with traces of strange halos.
But the strange thing was that these medicinal properties that were dyed with halos were actually unable to condense.
"Refine it for me! "Su Yi shouted, his true essence bursting and affecting the earth fire.
The entire pill room was illuminated by the earth fire and started to become scorching hot.
At this moment, the medicinal properties of the halo seemed to be uncontainable and gradually condensed.
Right at this moment... Crack crack crack!
Under the heat of the earth fire, the low-grade pill furnace that Nie Ling had given him actually started to show many savage cracks as if it was about to explode.
Seeing this, Su Yi took a deep breath.
"It's not the time for you to break!"
With a furious roar, he once again circulated a large amount of true essence to wrap around the pill furnace that was about to break.
The situation was in a stalemate. Su Yi's true essence surged, and the earth fire burned crazily. The pill furnace was about to explode, and the medicinal properties within the pill furnace were also rapidly fusing together.
After an unknown amount of time, when Su Yi felt that his true essence was about to dry up, an intoxicating pill fragrance spread out from the pill furnace.
"Fuse the pill for me!"
He shouted again, and all of his remaining true essences poured out.
Boom!
A loud noise could be heard, and the pill furnace exploded. The earth fire burned to the extreme, and the entire roof of the pill room was blown away.
Bang!
In the next instant, the door of the pill room was shattered by the true essence, and Nie Ling frantically ran in.
"Fellow Daoist Su, are you alright?!"
When she saw the scene inside the pill room, she could not help but call out anxiously.
"Cough cough, I'm fine! The furnace exploded!" Su Yi replied and stood up.
Without the activation of true yuan, the earth fire subsided, but what was revealed was a complete mess.
The entire pill room seemed to have been burned.
"It's good that you're fine. You've been refining for seven days, so the furnace explosion is normal. This is only a low-grade pill furnace, it can't withstand such abuse."
Nie Ling comforted him, and a trace of gentleness flashed across her eyes as she looked at Su Yi.
"It's fine, it's fine. I don't know if the last pill is ready!"
Su Yi exhaled a mouthful of air as he replied. Then, he looked towards the spot where the pill furnace had exploded.
At some point in time, a halo lit up from the ashes.
Su Yi's eyes lit up. With a wave of both hands, a pill that emitted a powerful aura and was covered with strange patterns started to levitate.
When it revealed its full appearance, the surrounding spiritual energy was actually attracted by it and gradually revolved around it.
When Nie Ling saw this scene, a look of shock flashed across her pretty eyes.
"What grade is this pill? Even a top-grade pill doesn't behave like this, right?"
Hearing these words, Su Yi waved his hand and the pill fell into his hand.
[Pill: Mystic condensing pill.]
[Rank: Dao-grade.]
[Medicinal effect: Limited to the qi condensation realm. Increase the success rate of breaking through the qi condensation realm by 80%.]
[Celestial-grade: After taking one pill, condense a strand of innate spiritual qi. After taking ten pills, the qi of a cultivator can be completely converted into innate spiritual qi.]
After seeing the attributes, the corner of Su Yi's mouth twitched.
No wonder he had a sudden inspiration just now. It seemed that the 0.1% chance of the Dao-grade of the Time Pill Alchemy Technique had taken effect.
However, even though he had worked so hard to refine the pill, it was not as strong as the efficacy of the Starry Sea Bottle's purification.
Innate spiritual qi was obviously not comparable to innate superior pure qi.
"Take it to the auction!" Su Yi handed the pill to Nie Ling and began to adjust his breathing and recover.
When Nie Ling saw the attributes of the pill, she completely lost her composure.
"Dao-grade pill, 80% success rate of condensing qi and breaking through the realm!"
"Innate spiritual qi! This can reduce the consumption of true essence by 1%!"
"Fellow Daoist Su, aren't you going to swallow this medicinal pill yourself?"
Hearing these words, Su Yi's heart grew even more tired!
1%...
Who would not want to eat such a painstakingly refined medicinal pill? However, it could not compare to the purification effect of the Starry Sea Bottle!
"There's no need. You can take it to the auction! I'll go back to my room to rest first."
"In addition, there's a total of more than 300 mystic condensing pills of various qualities here. You can deal with them as you see fit. Just quote me the price."
Su Yi stuffed all the pills into Nie Ling's hands and left immediately, leaving Nie Ling alone with a pile of pills in her hands. She stood there, shocked.
...
Compared to the price of the qi condensation pills, the price of the mystic condensing pills used for breaking through had increased by 20%.
A low-grade pill was worth 3,600, the middle-grade one was 7,000, and the high-grade was 36,000.
There were more than 300 pills in total, of which 200 were low-grade, 100 were middle-grade, and 10 were high-grade.
This time, Su Yi did not manage to refine any top-grade pills. However, the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill was there, and Nie Ling could not estimate the price for it.
Nei Ling bought the low-grade and middle-grade pills and immediately put them on sale at the Nie family trading company to attract customers.
A total of 1.78 million yuan was obtained.
The majority of the gains from the trip to the demon spirit mountain range had finally been sold.
Currently, the funds in Su Yi's hands were close to 5 million.
"Oh, I'll break through to the late-stage of the qi condensation realm today."
"When the time comes, the system should have a new realm gift pack."
"In the next month, the most important thing is to consume the celestial-grade mystic condensing pill and condense the innate superior pure qi. In addition, I'll eat two celestial-grade qi condensation pills to raise my talent to the middle-grade spiritual root."
"After the auction is over, I'll break through to the foundation establishment realm and head to the great desolate central plains to try to join the Tiandao sect."
Su Yi thought about it silently and decided on a plan.
However, he did not know that at this moment, there was a commotion in the entire Shangyang city because of the items that appeared in the auction.
