Chapter 265: Longevity Turtle Foundation Building
Chapter 265: Longevity Turtle Foundation Building
puff!
puff puff!
Two more sounds rang out in succession, like tiny firecrackers and fireworks exploding there, and a slight, harsh sound came from the alchemy furnace.
In the alchemy furnace, only the last four pill prototypes were still struggling to maintain their shape. They kept spinning and becoming rounder and fuller under the refining of the true fire.
The exploded pills were not wasted. Instead, drops of medicinal liquid were extracted from them and continuously covered on the surface of the remaining pills. They were slowly polished to cover up the bumpy blemishes on the surface and blend the medicinal properties.
This refining process took several hours.
Even with Li Quanqing's level of cultivation, he could sense a hint of boredom and fatigue, but his mana output remained stable.
After all, he had never experienced the growth of an alchemist, nor had he experienced the monotonous and boring life of an alchemy apprentice day after day.
Without the heart of an alchemist that has been tempered by hundreds of herbs and blazing flames, one can still enjoy the boring daily routine of alchemy and even enjoy it.
From the beginning to the end, Li Quanqing was just an ordinary guy who lacked the polish and experience of life.
Finally, this period of slow and sluggish time has finally come to an end.
The blazing sky-blue flame began to die out gradually, and the originally astonishingly high temperature also dropped, revealing the red-hot alchemy furnace in the sea of fire.
The heat wave hit me in the face, even the air was slightly distorted, the fragrance of the elixir became stronger, but also hotter, as if it was igniting the entire lungs through the nasal cavity.
In the alchemy furnace, the last four pill embryos successfully preserved the shape of the pills, but because they absorbed the medicinal liquid, they became extremely large, as big as lychees.
Although all the bumps and defects on the surface of the four pill prototypes have disappeared, the medicinal properties are abundant and the essence is surging.
But this does not mean that they have all been successfully refined and become true foundation-building pills.
"Condensation!!"
Li Quanqing's spirits lifted, his palms kept changing, making one pill seal after another, and he began the final step of condensing the pill.
hum! !
Click, click, click!
Accompanied by a slight cracking sound, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the pill, falling off like a elixir coat.
Among them, only two foundation-building pills were shining brightly, emitting a scorching light, like two little suns rising slowly in the alchemy furnace, causing a surge of spiritual energy.
As for the other two pill prototypes, they looked dull and gray, without even any pill patterns on their surface, making them useless pills.
Obviously, the results of Li Quanqing's first attempt to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill can be described as both good and bad.
The good news is that he successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill and truly became a master of alchemy. He did not fail and all the materials were destroyed.
The bad news is that the success rate of pills is really not that good, less than one-third, it can only be considered qualified.
With a bang, the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up, and the powerful medicinal properties that had been suppressed for a long time finally rushed up into the sky.
Colorful light mist filled the space around the alchemy furnace, transforming into cloud-like alchemy energy, fragrant and swaying.
The two foundation-building pills fell into Li Quanqing's hands, still retaining some residual warmth, and felt smooth to the touch, like white jade glass beads.
He had come into contact with the real Foundation Establishment Pill, and after taking a look at it, he found that there was indeed nothing wrong with it, so he carefully put it into the jade bottle and placed a spiritual seal on it to ensure that the medicinal properties would not dissipate.
He did not waste the remaining waste pills, but chose to feed them to the spirit beasts under his command.
In fact, although these pills failed to be refined and still possessed considerable energy essence, they also contained a lot of poison, which would be very troublesome for human monks to take.
But it doesn’t matter. The monsters have thick skin and flesh, and their demonic energy is extremely overbearing, unlike human magic power which requires purity.
It's just a mere case of elixir. With the powerful physique of the demon race, it's no problem at all. They eat it with big mouthfuls, just like chewing candy beans.
The amazing creativity of the human race was clearly revealed at this moment.
If the demons were left to deal with these elixirs and demon pills, they would just swallow them raw like a cow chewing a peony. They wouldn't care about the main, secondary, auxiliary and adjuvant ingredients, or the combination of the five elements to maximize the efficacy of the medicine.
The Longevity Turtle was on the verge of a breakthrough and undoubtedly gained the greatest benefit, directly swallowing a complete waste pill.
The enormous medicinal power contained in it can be said to be completely comparable to half of a foundation-building pill.
With such precious resources, the turtle finally reached a certain limit and began to break through. A large dark green turtle slowly swam up from the fish pond, its body undulating in the waves, its shell covered with moss and stones.
Although it was about to break through to the foundation-building stage, the Longevity Turtle still looked lazy, without any of the dignity and domineering of a great demon, and began its breakthrough slowly.
Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the embankment beside the fish pond and began to protect the turtle.
As always, the Longevity Turtle not only lives a long time, but also breaks through to a higher level very slowly, just like a turtle crawling.
After three or four hours, the Longevity Turtle was still floating on the water, leisurely gathering the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, without any sign of trying to break through the bottleneck.
Li Quanqing had no choice but to take out the third-level alchemist inheritance. After he had comprehended the entire text several times, the Wanshou Turtle also successfully broke through the foundation.
I saw that the turtle's body had expanded again, like a small island.
There are many ancient wave patterns on its body, and its scaly neck has become much more slender, a bit like a python, and its overall image is moving closer to that of Xuanwu.
The whole process was very stable and without any danger. The monster had accumulated so much strength that there were no accidents at all.
Li Quanqing was quite satisfied with what he saw and fed it several high-level pills. The big turtle was so happy that it shook its head and the ball of light on its head swayed and shone.
[Harvest a longevity turtle in the early stage of foundation building, and reward the Tianji Master with the "Turtle Yao Guashu"! ]
He touched it lightly, and a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a rather mysterious inheritance of a master of divination, who could use the tortoise shell to predict the future and deduce the secrets of heaven.
As for how high the accuracy rate is, that depends on one's own opinion.
He crushed the ball of light, and to his surprise, this inheritance was not in the form of a jade slip, but in the form of an initiation, it directly entered his mind.
Endless runes evolved within the Niwan Palace, twisting like little snakes. They looked like words, but also like children's scribbles, revealing a mysterious meaning.
Finally, all the symbols gathered together and turned into a light golden tortoise shell, which was held in the hands of the little soul figurine, looking full of Taoism.
"The tortoise shell hexagram shows the mysteries of heaven."
Li Quanqing carefully comprehended and discovered that every time he deduced the secrets of heaven, he needed to sacrifice a tortoise shell.
The higher the spiritual turtle's cultivation level during its lifetime, the nobler its bloodline, and the longer it has lived, the more precise and correct the things it can deduce will be.
This is in line with the consistent principle of the Tianji masters, equal exchange.
Make deals with heaven and earth, and spy on the opportunities of all spirits.
"You turtle, you actually came up with this kind of skills. You are simply a big traitor among the turtles!"
Li Quanqing looked a little strange.
After all, the shell of a spirit turtle is not something that can be found everywhere. It is very valuable in the world of immortal cultivation. There are even demon-hunting monks who specialize in hunting turtles.
Each shell represents the unfortunate death of a turtle, and it is rare for one to die of natural causes.
"Moo-"
The longevity turtle called out lazily, its temperament still as gentle as ever. It turned its shell and disappeared into the depths of the fish pond again.
Li Quanqing refined two foundation-building pills, just enough to give one to Li Quanfu and one to Li Quanzhu.
As for Li Quange, this guy is very talented and is a demon hunter. He has already collected enough family contribution points and locked onto a foundation-building pill in the treasury, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
With two Foundation Establishment Pills in hand, Li Quanqing was not in a hurry to give them to Li Quanfu and the others. He also decided to let them exchange them with him using contribution points, but the price was half as much.
Things that are easily obtained will definitely not be cherished too much.
In a sense, it was also a test and experience for Li Quanzhu and others.
After all, even if you take the Foundation Establishment Pill, there is still a possibility of failure.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
Finally, Li Kunlun came out of seclusion again, refined his life-saving magic weapon, and was able to go on an expedition into the outer space.
