Chapter 237 - New Pills
Jian has finished refining the weapons for Sect tower missions and he also has finished refining two star weapons which helped him to prepare for Two Star Weaponsmith.
Now that he was done with Weaponsmith missions he is going to the Alchemy Hall to start preparing for the two star Alchemist Examination.
When he was flying towards Alchemy Hall he saw most of the disciples were focusing 9n cultivating.
Yu Yue and Ye Qiao were with Ling'er and other disciples. They were sparing at the arena. Yu Yue was acting as the judge of the fight.
The new disciples have learned Divine Body Tempering Technique and the Basic Martial arts so they were taking the missions to earn CP so that they can exchange for Cultivation Technique so that they can start Cultivating.
While he flying to the Ye Qiao and others saw him and they wanted to come forward greet him but he told them that they can do there work and he flew towards The Alchemy Hall.
When he got there the Alchemy Hall was empty, so he understood that Zhou You was in the Mission hall looking after the disciples who were choosing the missions.
So first went the shed near the herb garden to take the Two star herbs. He has already decided on which three two stars pills he going to refine so took five sets of herbs of each pills.
After taking the herbs he went to the top floor of Alchemy Hall were the system has already prepared Chaos Cauldron for him.
After that he arranged the materials and and then sat in meditation position to learn the process of refining the pills.
The three pills he chose to refine were Foundation Establishing Pill, Foundation Strengthening Pills, Healing pills.
Foundation Establishing Pill : These pills can be used to help Qi Condensation Realm cultivator to help breakthrough to Foundation building realm.
These pills are not breakthrough pills but they can increase the chances of breakthrough. So the higher the quality of the pills is the higher the chance is for breakthrough.
Jian chose this pill because most of disciples in sect were not talented enough to reach Foundation Building realm on there own.
So he was going to a help them by adding the pills in the Treasure Hall so that they can exchange for the CP.
But he is going to add the conditions that disciples with higher talent than seven star are not allowed to exchange the pill.
Because it would affect there Foundation and it will cause trouble in future. He already knows that the disciples will not be happy but he will allow them to exchange if there are not able to breakthrough properly.
He knows that he has to explain them properly so that they can't make the mistake. At first when the system suggested the pills he didn't wanted to refine them but he also understood that there talent was not enough.
He hoped that the disciples would understand his intentions and would try to attempt an breakthrough without using this pill.
Foundation Strengthening Pills
: These pills are same as the Qi Strengthening Pills. Which means that they can increase the speed of the cultivation by some margin.Its just that Qi Strengthening Pills are for Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators and Foundation Strengthening Pills are for Foundation Building Realm Cultivators.
These pills were no use to them for now but after the disciples reach Foundation Building realm there cultivation speed will more slow down so this pull will be useful.
This pill doesn't have any bad reactions it's just that it can increase the amount of impurities. So it would get lot harder in future but for that Jian has already thought of a plan which is was to refine Marrow Cleansing Pill of higher grade.
Healing Pill : The pill is the multi purpose Healing pill. Which can heal injuries of Foundation Building Realm Cultivator. Only some of the fatal injuries can't be healed by it.
But it can heal all types of the injuries of Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators. The only difference in the refinement process of the pills was similar to one star Healing pill only the herbs were different.
So the first pill he decided to refine was the Healing pill. Because with this he will be able to understand the basic behind the two star pills refinement.
So he started to look through the process of refining of two star Healing pill.
The process of the refining two star pill was lot harder that one star pills because you have to use two star herbs to refine the pills.
The higher the grade of the her is the higher the essence it contains and also the impurities are higher.
So it would be lot harder to clear the impurities from the essence of herbs. Multiple types herbs can give you huge amount of essence so it is very crucial to balance the essence and compact all it in one pill.
In two star refining the controlling get lot harder of you are careless then you can destroy whole herbs.
So you have to be careful and one by one you to extract essence from each herbs and then remove there impurities.
To form the pill you have to temper the essence at the perfect temperature otherwise the formed pill will be filled with impurities.
The two star Alchemy focuses of control of Qi and pill formation methods. Because to refine a two star pill you have to deal with huge amount essence and impurities.
And it doesn't mean that the large amount if essence will help the pill reach the higher quality. So the alchemist has to be careful and perfectly balance the essence of different herbs and form the pill.
Jian thought that he would have to use different beasts parts or blood to refine the pill. But the system informed him that he is not wrong because some of the pills need catalyst for all the essence of the herbs to hold so the alchemist can use any materials for the refining.
And the beasts are most suitable catalyst for the pill. The system also informed him that most of pills doesn't need catalyst so he doesn't have to worry about that.
The pills which are refined by frequent use of beasts body part are for the cultivators with beasts bloodline and most of them are refined by the beast masters.
But Jian didn't forget that to become beast Master on if the condition was to be an alchemist. So he already knew that in future he will need to work with the beasts body part.
Jian thought the process was similar and he just has to increase his concentration while refining the pills but when he say the process of refining Healing pills he was shocked.
Because the amount of essence shown was for twenty pills but after he process was complete only three pills were formed with above Ninety percent purity.
Now he understands how difficult it would be to handle this huge amount of essence with the qi control he has. He would be extremely exhausted after each refinement.
So that he doesn't make mistakes he went through the process of refining the Healing pills multiple times before he got ready.
While going through the process he also had trouble seeing the extraction of the essence from the herbs because the amount was huge and he to perform the process in perfect temperature otherwise the impurities will be also extracted and he will have lots of trouble dealing with them when he forms the pills.
He understood one that he has to move very slowly so that each essence of the herbs will be properly extracted and there will be no problem while forming the pills.
After going through the process, he meditated and increased his concentration and recovered to top condition before starting the refining.
He told the system to start heating the cauldron. He sent a strand of Qi and connected with cauldron to see if it has reached optimum temperature.
He immediately told the system to stop increase the heat and the temperature should be same. So he told the system to manipulate the fire.
The system informed him that it can do if but minor increase or Decrease in temperature should be handle by himself otherwise the extraction of the essence will fail.
Jian already that the system can't do everything for him.. So he sent multiple stands of Qi to the cauldron to control the temperature and finally he started the process of refining the Healing pill.
