Chapter 3050: A Basic Grasp Over the Way of Alchemy (1/2)
In the Heavenly Crane clan, a divine hall stood silently on the shimmering snow atop Soaring Snow peak within the forbidden grounds. Inside the divine hall, Jian Chen sat before a huge alchemy cauldron refining pills. Fragrances poured out immediately.
The fragrances came from a mixture of various heavenly resources, so it had the effect of concentrating the mind. A whiff of it could clear and refresh the mind.
Beneath Jian Chen was a circular piece of glazed jade. It seemed like a grindstone.
That was the Fortune God Jade. He sat on top of the Fortune God Jade, comprehending the Way of Alchemy as he refined pills. It was exactly because of the Fortune God Jade that Jian Chen’s comprehension of the Way of Alchemy advanced at an unbelievable rate.
His realm with the Way of Alchemy and his understanding of it was basically increasing with every moment.
Even though he still had not refined a proper low grade saint pill over all these years, he was getting closer and closer to this target.
“I’ve already gained a basic grasp over the Laws of Alchemy. Every single saint pill and god pill I refine afterwards needs to be baptised with the Laws of Alchemy, such that every single pill is further refined by the power of laws. Only then can they become pills…” Jian Chen refined the pills as he closely recalled the various experiences that ancestor Lan had passed onto him.
At this moment, the cauldron before him suddenly began to give off thick, white smoke. The intense fragrance reached a peak as well.
Jian Chen understood that he had arrived at the most critical juncture of refining this cauldron of pills. The medicinal fluid converted from the materials of various functions had already merged together successfully. The next step was to refine the pill, as well as to nurture it with the Laws of Alchemy.
Immediately, the power of the Laws of Alchemy appeared out of nowhere, directly entering the cauldron like they had turned into wisps of fire. As the fluid solidified into pills, it rapidly carried out a further process of refinement.
Boom!
But at this moment, a rumble rang out. The cauldron of pills exploded extremely suddenly, and all the energy within the medicinal fluid was released instantly, forming a shockwave that shook up the cauldron.
This cauldron of pills had ended up in failure!
However, Jian Chen was unflustered. His heart was as placid as water, as who knew how many times he had failed already since he began refining pills. He had grown accustomed to this a long time ago.
“The issue this time has still occurred on the last step. The ball of medicinal fluid contains energy of various attributes, which either complement or conflict with one another. During the process of condensing them into pills, not only do I have to carefully control the stability of each type of energy, but I also have to maintain precise control over the intensity of flames during the final refinement and nurturing of the Laws of Alchemy. I have to ensure that it’s not even a little too much or too little.”
“This comes with experience. I need to learn from my constant failures.”
Jian Chen immediately understood the crux of the issue and shut his eyes, silently thinking through his experiences of failure before immediately cleaning up the residue in the cauldron and tossing in new materials to continue.
Nearby, the residue from failed pills had already piled up into a small mountain.
During these days of alchemy, who knew just how many heavenly resources Jian Chen had destroyed already. However, it was fortunate that all the pills he refined were low grade saint pills, so their requirements on the level of heavenly resources was relatively low. As such, they were extremely easy to gather. If he had been using high level heavenly resources instead, probably even peak clans could not support his wastage.
