"So it’s the Starry Pill!"
Inside the Immortal Mansion.
The two sat side by side, quickly delving into the topic at hand.
Luo Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve recently acquired this Pill Formula. Although I’ve had so success, the steps are extrely intricate, and it often takes two days to refine just one batch."
"Two days for one batch?" ng Changshou looked at Luo Chen in surprise. "Do you know that this is already very fast? In our dicine King Sect, even experienced Third Order Pill Refiners need three days to barely refine one batch. Even so, they must concentrate fully, to the detrint of their cultivation state."
Luo Chen also showed a surprised expression.
But his heart was calm.
He deliberately revealed his pill-refining prowess to get the other party’s attention.
It seems the effect wasn’t bad.
"Explain the problem in detail, and I will have quite a say on the matter of Starry Pill refinent."
Luo Chen had no objections and imdiately shared so of the details.
At the end, he added, "I want to simplify the refinent process, but I don’t know where to start. Does Friend ng have any suggestions?"
After listening to Luo Chen’s problem,
ng Changshou wasn’t surprised; the Starry Pill was already an outdated Pill Formula discarded by the dicine King Sect.
They had also experienced the problems he was encountering.
Now that Luo Chen had brought them up, ng Changshou quickly found solutions.
"Actually, it’s not difficult, it’s just that your approach is still limited to the pill refinent habits of lower realms."
"Pill refinent habits?"
Luo Chen was taken aback.
ng Changshou, stroking his beard, smiled and said, "At lower realms, Spirit Consciousness is shallow, so pill refiners often process materials one by one, individually. Over ti, this becos a habit."
"But we as Golden Core Cultivators have strong and resilient Divine Consciousness. We can already handle several materials at the sa ti."
"All you need to do is to select the herbs with similar properties, then use similar Pill Techniques to process them simultaneously."
"By doing so, isn’t it possible to simplify the refinent process and increase efficiency?"
Luo Chen listened dumbfounded.
At this mont, he felt as if the skies had cleared and the essence of wisdom was poured into him.
Was it really that simple?
Upon reflection, although the materials required for the Starry Pill were extrely intricate, when categorized, there were actually only five main categories.
These five categories could essentially be processed using one or two Pill Techniques.
After this sudden realization, Luo Chen sincerely stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, friend, for the guidance!"
ng Changshou waved his hand unconcernedly and said, "It’s just so common sense, no need for such courtesy."
Luo Chen sighed, "To pill masters like yourself with formal Sect Heritage, it is common sense, but for , without knowing how much exploration would have been needed to summarize such clear principles."
Most things in the world are like this.
They appear difficult, but in reality, you might only be separated by a thin mbrane.
With guidance from a Sect elder, it’s as easy as a poke to get through.
But those who explore on their own might need to experience countless failures before they can even start to taste success.
After Luo Chen took his seat again, ng Changshou brought up the matter he cared most about.
"During the day, Qing Danzi of Qingdan Valley oversaw the refinent of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, with the Qingdan Array as the core, thirty experienced Second Order Pill Refiners as the foundation, supplented by Original Source True Fire from five of you Third Order Pill Refiners. Such an array was considered foolproof, yet why did it end up failing after thirteen attempts? Could you describe the details and the reasons for failure in detail, friend?"
"In my opinion, the fundantal herbal essences were individually prepared by different people, leading to the final fusion failure," Luo Chen provided his judgnt.
He had always believed this to be the case.
However, ng Changshou imdiately dismissed this judgnt on the spot.
He shook his head, "The Qingdan Array is a long-standing combined refinent array from Qingdan Valley. Even if prepared by different Pill Refiners, the herbal essences can still achieve the sa goal. It would not be this reason that caused the failure!"
Luo Chen was startled.
He had participated in the Qingdan Array before but never felt this way!
And how did ng Changshou know so much about the Qingdan Array?
Also!
Upon reflection, he realized ng Changshou had easily recounted the number of Pill Refiners involved in constructing the Qingdan Array, and even the number of failed attempts was detailed.
The feeling was as if he had been in Qingdan Valley, witnessing it firsthand!
Suddenly,
Luo Chen thought of soone.
"Could Xuan Yunzi be the dicine King Sect’s spy planted in Qingdan Valley!"
After this thought surfaced, Luo Chen noticed ng Changshou was still eagerly waiting for his response.
He gathered his thoughts and began to carefully recall the details of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill refinent.
In the end, his thoughts lingered on the last failure, the mont of the explosion.
He hesitantly said, "Could it be due to Pill Fire?"
ng Changshou’s brows furrowed, "Was it Qing Danzi’s Original Source Pill Fire, or the Original Source True Fire you five refined?"
Luo Chen pursed his lips, more confident, and said, "Both! The combined strength of the five of us created fire of a too high Quality Rank. Qing Danzi’s pill fire wasn’t high enough in rank. This led to a confusion of primary and secondary roles, even inverting host and guest, resulting in the failure of the refinent and the backlash of the explosion."
"Is that so?"
ng Changshou muttered, falling into thought.
His hands occasionally emitted wisps of flas as if he were experinting with sothing.
