Chapter 115: Trading Pills for Ingredients, Accumulating Like a Snowball!
Condensing the pill is the most crucial step in the crafting process.
It is also the most difficult.
Generally, once this step is completed, what follows is not as complicated. Xiao Ze, who had been highly focused during the condensation phase, relaxed a bit.
"Choosing to make a Dou Ling Pill on my first attempt at a fifth-grade pill was a bit arrogant. The violent energy was almost uncontrollable."
"But fortunately, the intensive practice of pill crafting and the feedback from my third brother's techniques gave me a solid foundation in alchemy, allowing me to overcome the condensation phase without issues."
"Moreover, at the end, when I felt that surge of energy, instead of suppressing it directly, I let it release, which allowed the pill to condense all at once."
Xiao Ze reflected on his experience, drawing conclusions from this dangerous attempt.
If he could fully assimilate this experience, crafting fifth-grade pills in the future would be much easier.
After all, the Dou Ling Pill is a top-tier fifth-grade pill, whose crafting difficulty is even higher than some sixth-grade pills.
With the experience of this first attempt, his alchemy skills would significantly improve.
Xiao Ze was very satisfied with the wonders of the Yun Ling Cauldron.
During the last surge of energy, an ordinary cauldron would have exploded, and the crafting of the Dou Ling Pill would have failed.
It was clear how important a good cauldron is to an alchemist.
The higher the level of the alchemist, the greater the need for a top-class cauldron.
With the Yun Ling Cauldron, Xiao Ze no longer had to worry about his cauldron in the future.
As he thought about this, a strong aroma of the pill emanated from the cauldron, accompanied by waves of energy hitting the cauldron walls.
However, the sturdy Yun Ling Cauldron remained unmoved; only the previous surge had managed to make it tremble.
The current energy waves could not affect it in the slightest.
"Generally, the stronger the energy wave of a fifth-grade pill, the better its quality. It seems this Dou Ling Pill... is only average."
Xiao Ze murmured, without a clear reference for the energy waves of a Dou Ling Pill, as it was his first attempt.
But he felt it was normal since the cauldron didn't move.
"Whew...!"
Xiao Ze exhaled deeply, withdrew his energy, and opened the cauldron. A high-quality pill fell into his hand.
"Huh? Surprisingly good!"
Xiao Ze examined it carefully, confirming it was of high quality.
He stored the Dou Ling Pill in a jade bottle.
He didn't start a new crafting session immediately but closed his eyes to reflect on his experience.
After a long time, having finished his analysis, he felt his energy still abundant and headed to the cultivation platform, ready to try the exclusive cultivation room for elders.
Due to the existence of the Source Tree in the void space, Xiao Ze did not feel the same fatigue from pill crafting as other alchemists.
The Source Tree, with its roots in the void, constantly absorbed energy.
For Xiao Ze, depleting all his energy just through pill crafting was difficult.
He placed his purple fire card in the slot and was immediately deducted fifty units of energy.
Xiao Ze rolled his eyes.
"Wow, with fifteen hundred units a month, it's just enough to spend in this cultivation room."
"If I want to spend energy on something else, I'll have to earn it myself."
But Xiao Ze didn't cultivate every day; he also spent half his time on alchemy.
So at the end of the month, he could save a bit of energy.
Moreover, he had another source of ingredients.
He exchanged pills for ingredients in the alchemy department.
Calculating this, energy wouldn't be such a big problem.
He closed his eyes and began to cultivate. Intense fire energy appeared in his body but was quickly absorbed by the void space.
At the same time, golden roots emerged from the void and began to absorb the energy from the cultivation room.
Internal and external cultivation, two in one!
When Xiao Ze opened his eyes again, the room, previously filled with mist, was now completely clear.
Looking at the empty room, Xiao Ze shook his head.
"I absorbed too much!"
"I'll have to wait for the room to recover..."
Xiao Ze murmured, heading to the Yun Ling Cauldron. He looked at the remaining ingredients for the Dou Ling Pill, falling into deep thought.
"Only one portion of ingredients left, and it won't be enough for my current crafting needs."
"Pill crafting requires constant practice to achieve mastery..."
Suddenly, he remembered Elder Yan from the pill recipe warehouse.
Could it be that he had really collected the ingredients for the Dou Ling Pill?
With this thought, Xiao Ze quickly stored the Yun Ling Cauldron and the ingredients and headed to Elder Yan's warehouse.
In the recipe warehouse.
Elder Yan was reading an ancient book with great interest.
Suddenly, a soft aroma of ingredients reached his nose.
He looked up and saw Xiao Ze approaching.
"Xiao Ze, my friend!"
Seeing Xiao Ze, Elder Yan put down his book and quickly got up to greet him.
"Did you manage to craft the Dou Ling Pill?"
"Hehe, I was lucky to craft one."
Xiao Ze smiled. Although his tone was modest, to Elder Yan, his words were like thunder.
His breathing quickened.
"This... Xiao Ze, could you give me the Dou Ling Pill? Ask for anything in return!"
"Elder Yan, you have always been kind to me. If you really need the Dou Ling Pill, you can take it. However, about the ingredients..."
Hearing this, Elder Yan was delighted and took out two portions of ingredients for the Dou Ling Pill, with an embarrassed expression.
"When Xiao Ze asked for the ingredients, I had hopes, but I could only collect two portions."
Elder Yan didn't mention that in case Xiao Ze failed, he could turn to other alchemists.
He hadn't pinned all his hopes on Xiao Ze.
But now, he was very pleased with the result.
"It's enough, Elder Yan. Here is the Dou Ling Pill."
Xiao Ze twisted his wrist, taking out a jade bottle.
Elder Yan received it trembling, his eyes full of emotion.
He had been stuck at his level for years and needed a Dou Ling Pill to advance.
"Elder Yan, I actually have a request."
"Xiao Ze, whatever you need, I'll do my best to help you."
Elder Yan spoke earnestly.
"It's something simple. I want to continue practicing the crafting of the Dou Ling Pill, but I don't have time to collect ingredients."
"I would like Elder Yan to pass this message to the other elders who have helped me."
"If they need the Dou Ling Pill, they can come to me. They only need to prepare three portions of ingredients, and I will craft it for free."
"Due to the rotation of the elders, I don't know where they are, so I need your help to inform them."
After hearing the explanation, Elder Yan nodded repeatedly, patting his chest.
"Xiao Ze, don't worry. I'll take care of this. I've been here many years and know who needs the pill."
