No wonder Ling Cang was so startled.
In the Cultivation Realm, as ti passes and environnts change, so spirit dicines go extinct, while new ones erge.
All alchemists are aware of this.
Therefore, many Sects consider improving their inherited pill formulas.
This is to make the cost of refining elixirs within the Sect lower.
However, doing so is not easy.
Especially for a Sect like Jiuhua, where so inherited alchemy techniques have been partially lost for various reasons.
Improving a pill formula is by no ans an easy task.
On one hand, it requires profound understanding and mastery of various spirit dicine attributes, fire control techniques, and pharmacological combinations.
This ans only soone with very high alchemical skills can undertake such tasks.
Even then, such individuals can typically only improve pill formulas a few grades lower than their own alchemy skills.
For example, Ling Cang himself can now refine Advanced Middle Grade Elixirs.
However, if he were to improve a pill formula, it might just be up to the level of Interdiate Middle Grade.
Being able to perform alchemy, and understanding the theory behind elixirs to create pill formulas, are entirely different concepts.
On the other hand, this requires a lot of experintation, as the art of alchemy is extrely complex, and each tiny step can lead to failure.
Without extensive practice, it is impossible to identify the shortcomings of one’s own pill formula.
Normally, this could require thousands or even tens of thousands of attempts.
For this reason, in today’s Cultivation Realm, although so people with profound alchemical skills improve pill formulas,
their numbers are very few.
Furthermore, the higher the grade of the elixir, the rarer it is.
Pills of the Spiritual Sense type are rarer than those of the Qi Refining type.
But now, Chu Ning has directly produced an Interdiate Upper Grade Elixir refining thod.
And it’s a pill of the Spiritual Sense type.
How could this not shock Ling Cang greatly?
Not to ntion Ling Cang, even the other Golden Core cultivators, who are not well-versed in alchemy, looked extrely surprised upon hearing this.
Yu Changge took an elixir from Ling Cang’s hand and sensed it slightly.
"It is indeed an Interdiate Upper Grade Elixir, judging from its aura, it truly has the effect of enhancing Divine Sense."
At this mont, Ling Cang couldn’t wait and asked Chu Ning:
"You went into seclusion during this period to research this elixir, was it about three months or so?"
"Yes, a little over three months," Chu Ning nodded.
Of course, he didn’t ntion that during these three months, he actually developed not just this one elixir but three different ones.
Even so, Ling Cang’s face still showed excitent and elation.
He eagerly inquired further, "How many attempts did you make to successfully refine it?"
Chu Ning thought for a mont and gave a number.
"About over fifty tis."
He didn’t an to say too much; primarily, he only had so many spirit dicines from the Alchemy Pavilion.
Claiming more would not align with the actual count.
Of these fifty-plus attempts, more than thirty were successful, and the Spirit Pills were in his Storage Bag.
There was no need to disclose this naturally.
Even so, it made Ling Cang’s eyes, as an Advanced Middle Grade Alchemist of the Middle Stage of Golden Core, shine brilliantly.
"Over fifty tis, a genius indeed!"
Ling Cang muttered to himself, then excitedly shouted to Yu Changge and the others:
"Sect Leader, Elders, this is an alchemical genius!
With the talent to research Interdiate Upper Grade Elixirs as an Interdiate Upper Grade Alchemist, such talent, as far as I know, is unprecedented in the Cloud Peak Alliance!
No! I’ve never even heard of such in the Western Alliance Continent!"
Chu Ning did not expect a single Interdiate Upper Grade Elixir refining technique to make this Golden Core Elder so beside himself.
At this mont, he couldn’t help but silently exclaim in his heart.
"It seems I underestimated the difficulty of independently developing Interdiate Upper Grade Elixirs, even if based on an Ancient Pill Formula.
Fortunately, I only revealed one pill formula, otherwise..."
While Chu Ning was thinking this, Ling Cang turned his head, gazing fixedly at him.
"Nephew Chu, you must advance to the Golden Core stage; only then does our Jiuhua Sect’s alchemy have the hope of flourishing.
From today on, whatever resources you need can be requested, exceeding your current allowance will be deducted from my resources."
Ling Cang’s words made Chu Ning’s mouth open slightly in surprise.
"Elder, this..."
Before he could finish, Ling Cang waved him off and said:
"No need to refuse, it’s nothing; these old bones of mine, reaching the Middle Stage of Golden Core, can live a few more years at the most.
But with these resources, given your young age reaching the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt, successful Core Formation is a big possibility."
This Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion was about to continue when Yu Changge had already stepped forward.
"Elder Ling, there’s no need for that."
He returned the elixir to the Jade Bottle in Ling Cang’s hand.
Then he said to Chu Ning:
"Whatever resources Nephew Chu needs, the Sect will ensure they are provided, simply communicate with the Alchemy Pavilion.
If the Alchemy Pavilion cannot fulfill it, refer to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and the Task Hall; the Sect will surely support you fully."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was overjoyed.
The resources required for his cultivation are considerable, even if he could cultivate so himself.
But as cultivation speeds increase, it might not be able to keep up.
He was well aware of the speed of his cultivation progress and the rate of resource consumption.
Back when he used the Profound Spirit Treasure Pill, he almost ran short.
With Yu Changge’s words today, he would no longer worry excessively.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning imdiately cupped his hands and said:
