When Luo Chen killed Yan Nantian and subdued the cultivators of the Flying Swallow Islands, it ant that he would have a long period of tranquil cultivation ahead of him.
In such a remote place, as long as he didn’t encounter a large-scale beast tide or extre natural disasters at sea, a Golden Core Cultivator was enough to wield power and dominate, claiming kingship and hegemony with ease.
Generally speaking, it was akin to the ti when Pang Renxiong ca from the west with his sword, suppressing The Great River District.
The only difference, probably, was that the area and the number of cultivators on the Flying Swallow Islands far exceeded The Great River District, with the overall scale being only slightly smaller than Tian Lan Immortal City.
It was for this reason that Luo Chen set his sights on this territory.
A region that was only slightly inferior to Tian Lan Immortal City, with a Third-Order Lower Grade Spirit Vein present, was more than sufficient to sustain the needs of an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
Even if he was comparable to a Gold-swallowing Beast!
After the Cheng Family delivered the first batch of herbs, Luo Chen plunged into the busy work of making the True Fla Pills.
This ti in his refinent, he still didn’t use the huge amount of Achievent Points accumulated on his Attribute Panel.
After producing Fourth Order Transformation Pills, he was already deed a "Fourth Order Pill Refiner" on the panel.
Even though he only mastered one kind of Fourth Order Elixir, with his solid and undeniable foundation in the Dao of Alchemy, this title of Fourth Order Pill Refiner was indeed well-deserved.
As such, producing Third Order Pills was not a particularly difficult task for him.
Once the foundation was laid, everything else would fall into place!
From his arrival on the Flying Swallow Islands to the kill of Yan Nantian, waiting for herbs—in total, seven months had passed.
During these seven months, apart from cultivation, Luo Chen spent most of his spare ti studying the formula of the True Fla Pills.
Now that the raw materials had arrived, it was ti to put theory into practice.
"The Gleaming Seed should be peeled first as its dicinal properties are too short-lived; prioritize its refinent."
"This Yan Hua, as the main component of the True Fla Pill, should be handled with the Juniper Heron Hand!"
"Fire Ginseng is rare, and only Iron Rock Ginseng with its intense dry nature can replace it. However, this ans the related Pill Techniques must shift three tis."
Every ti Luo Chen handled an herb, his mind would conjure up which Pill Technique to use, the timing, and the degree of heat needed for the pill refinent process.
Even though he had not yet started the actual pill making, his mind had inadvertently simulated it thousands of tis.
By the ti he finished processing all the herbs, another whole month had passed.
Luo Chen was not quite satisfied; handling herbs without assistance was this troubleso!
But for the mont, that was the only way.
After processing the herbs, he imdiately continued his relentless work on the pill refinent.
Once, twice, thrice...
The complexity of Third Order Pill refinent far exceeded that of the commonplace First and Second Orders.
Consequently, the ti taken for refinent was also greater than the usual one or two hours.
To make a batch of True Fla Pills, Luo Chen estimated, at least one whole day was needed!
This duration was even longer than it took to make a Fourth Order Transformation Pill.
There was no other reason than that, to have significant potency, the True Fla Pill required, in addition to its raw materials, that Original Source True Fire simr within the Pill Tripod for a full three hours after pill formation!
Only then would the True Fla Pills possess a potency far surpassing that of ordinary Third Order Cultivation Pills.
Luo Chen was well-prepared for this situation.
Refining pills was like an Immortal Cultivator’s cultivation; the higher the realm, the longer each Closed-Door Cultivation took, and the sa applied to pills—the higher the quality tier, the longer the refinent might take.
It was rumored that for the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, which could reportedly send soone directly to Azure Cloud Heaven with just one pill, it required a full four thousand nine hundred years to refine a batch!
Of course, such myths were not credible.
After all, no pill could enable a re mortal to ascend directly to immortality, not to ntion whether one had the power to make such a pill. The sheer dicinal force contained within these pills was not sothing an ordinary person could withstand.
However, Luo Chen also clearly understood that the higher the Elixir Quality Tier, the more ti-consuming the process of making it.
Previously in Qingdan Valley, when producing Nascent Soul Formation Pills, it took at least three days, and at most five or six days.
And this was still the duration without completing a successful refinent.
Considering that the True Fla Pills only required one day to refine, that was quite impressive.
"No wonder high-ranking alchemists always hold such high status."
"Not to ntion how useful the refined elixirs are, just considering the amount of energy and ti consud, to the detrint of their own cultivation, is enough for the various powers to accord high-ranking alchemists prestigious positions."
"However, if that’s the case, there will likely be fewer individuals who end up possessing sufficient mastery at the peak of the Dao of Alchemy."
One day may not seem like much.
But as little bits add up, one cannot imagine how many years would be delayed, how much lifespan would be consud.
And this is just Third Order Elixirs; what about Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation in the future?
Throughout the vast Mountain Sea Realm, over ten thousand years, there has only been one known as the Alchemy Saint.
From this perspective, such delays truly affect the advancent in realm for high-ranking alchemists.
"Perhaps I need to find a way to delegate the task of processing raw materials to others, to save more of my ti."
"I need to select soone trustworthy... actually, there’s no need for soone too trustworthy, as long as I station them on Yao Yue Island, and I can monitor them at all tis, there’s no fear of any foul play."
"If so, that would be much easier."
Luo Chen changed his initial thoughts and decided to set up a team to take care of those tedious tasks of processing raw materials.
And the choice for the team leader was simple; Cheng Haixin, who had recently established her Foundation, would suffice.
