Chapter 846: 846

A m.u.f.fled bang came from Long Chen’s pill furnace . A helpless expression appeared on his face .

“It’s been so long since I did any alchemy, I feel out of practice . ” He looked at the pile of pill dregs in his pill furnace . Not even a single pill had formed .

The Seven Stamen Seaheart Fruit was a seventh tier medicinal ingredient, while the Sea Merging Pill was a seventh tier pill . And even amongst seventh tier pills, it would be one of the most difficult to refine .

For most alchemists, their cultivation bases would have to reach Sea Expansion or above just to refine a sixth tier pill .

Last time in the Pill Tower’s compet.i.tion, he had refined the Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill . Although it was a sixth tier pill, it was something used by Sea Expansion experts . Because the requirements and difficulty in refining it were too low, it could not be counted as a seventh tier pill .

A medicinal pill’s tier normally corresponded with a cultivator’s cultivation base: first tier - Qi Condensation, second tier - Blood Condensation, third tier - Tendon Transformation, fourth tier - Bone Forging, fifth tier - Meridian Opening, sixth tier - Xiantian, seventh tier - Sea Expansion .

But there were also some special existences amongst medicinal pills . A prime example was the Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill .

The Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill was one of the common medicinal pills for Sea Expansion experts . Its price was relatively low . Other than the Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill, there were also quite a few other popular medicinal pills with better medicinal effects . But their price was also multiple times higher .

The Sea Expansion realm was also a money-burning realm just like Bone Forging . Borrowing the energy within medicinal pills, it was possible to expand the qi sea even further .

The better the medicinal pill, the greater the medicinal energy . As for the Sea Merging Pill Long Chen was attempting to refine, it was a priceless treasure that Sea Expansion experts would long for even in their dreams .

But in the outside world, he hadn’t heard of the Sea Merging Pill . It seemed that the world no longer possessed this medicinal pill, or perhaps the Seven Stamen Seaheart Fruit was already extinct, so the medicinal pill had also disappeared .

After failing a furnace of pills, Long Chen smiled slightly . He wouldn’t get discouraged by something so reasonable . If the outside world learned that he dared to refine seventh tier medicinal pills with his Xiantian cultivation base, it would definitely frighten many old alchemists to death .

Even alchemists whose cultivation bases had reached Sea Expansion wouldn’t necessarily be able to refine a seventh tier medicinal pill . And even if they could, it would be the comparatively lower level ones, not ones like the Sea Merging Pill . Those that could refine that level of pill would be grandmaster alchemists .

Long Chen rested for two hours before attempting it a second time . In any case, he had a large pile of medicinal ingredients, and he didn’t feel any pressure about failing .

In the end, he failed seven times before succeeding, allowing him to sigh with relief .

In truth, this failure rate was a large blow to him . He was someone who had received the inheritance of a Pill G.o.d . Failing seven times in a row was too embarra.s.sing .

Of course, if people knew that he had refined the Sea Merging Pill with his Xiantian cultivation base, it would definitely shake the entire alchemy world . There were three questions they would ask: Where did he get that much spiritual yuan? Where did he get that much soul energy? And where did he get such a powerful Pill Flame?

Long Chen didn’t just have all three of those requirements, but he also had his Pill G.o.d memories with profound alchemy experience . It would have been strange if he couldn’t refine it .

In the alchemy world, ordinary alchemists could only refine pills one tier below their cultivation base . If they could refine pills on the same tier as their cultivation base, they would be a genius . As for someone who could refine a pill with a higher tier than their cultivation base, there was one word for that: nonsense . No one would believe such a thing .

“Three one-ring pills and the rest are middle grade . They’re pretty much useless . ” Long Chen threw away the middle grade ones, leaving behind only the three one-ring Sea Merging Pills .

He directly swallowed one of them . While swallowing it, he bound it with his spiritual yuan, not letting it immediately dissolve .

That was a seventh tier medicinal pill, one that was used to forcibly increase the size of the qi sea once it had already reached its limit . The amount of energy within it was immense .

If a Xiantian expert ate it, it would be suicide . Once the pill dissolved, the terrifying medicinal energy would directly cause their qi sea to explode . If they were fortunate, they would just immediately die instead of being half-dead from their destroyed qi sea .

Even Long Chen wouldn’t dare to just directly allow it to dissolve in his body . He wasn’t using it to expand his qi sea, but to transform it into spiritual yuan to increase his cultivation base .

There were seven flower marks on the Sea Merging Pill, the same marks that were originally on the Seven Stamen Seaheart Fruit . That was where the fruit’s essence was condensed .

Long Chen tested absorbing the medicinal energy bit by bit . But its medicinal energy was too powerful, and it was like gunpowder to him . As soon as he started refining it, its medicinal energy surged through his meridians .

His meridians swelled as if a river was pouring into a ca.n.a.l . But Long Chen was relieved to see that his meridians were fine . It seemed he had been worried for nothing .
