124 Max Level (1/2)

Lighting the flame had succeeded!

Entering the controlling the flame stage…

At this moment, Zhao Feng was extremely nervous and excited. But due to his left eye, he calmed down quickly.

The left eye gave him precision, accuracy and control. Therefore, under the complex controlling the flame, Zhao Feng almost couldn’t make a mistake unless he had interpreted something wrong.

Time slowly passed by.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

This wasn’t the first time Zhao Feng refined pills, but it was the longest. The pills he had created before at the Grass-Wood Division were all low class and they were only useful in the mortal world but useless here. The Marrow Cleansing Pill he was refining now was almost a Spiritual Pill and the most complex one he had refined so far.

3 - 4 hours later, the stage of controlling the flame was coming to an end.

Beads of sweat appeared Zhao Feng’s forehead, the time he needed to create this batch was a lot more than the others. One had to know that he could only manage around 4 hours or so.

Only till 5 hours later was the stage complete.

Zhao Feng fell down on the ground powerlessly and gathered all his remaining inner strength to gently tap the air.

Pah!

The furnace opened and out jumped 4-5 pills the size of nails.

Zhao Feng reached out and grabbed the 5 Marrow Cleansing Pills. The quantity of pills made in each batch depended on how much material was put in. The amount of material Zhao Feng put in could only create 5 pills.

The most important factor right now was the success rate.

“One excellent, one normal, one useless and 2 substandard pills.”

Zhao Feng scanned the pills and immediately came up with the success rate.

40% success rate.

Truthfully, this result disappointed him. One had to know that when he had tried before, he had always reached 80% or above with the majority at 100%.

Zhao Feng obviously knew that the success rate depended on the refiners skills as well as what class the pill was.

If someone like old man Guan did it, his success rate would be at 100% because the level of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was way too low for him. At the same time, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was too hard for Zhao Feng, who was only at the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.

Normally, one would need to be at the half-step Ascended Realm to create a half-Spiritual Pill. But because Zhao Feng had denser inner strength due to Returning Breath Technique and saved energy due to his precision, he was able to break this ‘normality’.

This alone would make the other pill makers sigh in the Grass-Wood Division.

“Two Marrow Cleansing Pills are worth 10 substandard primal crystal stones!” Zhao Feng’s eyes lit up.

Although his success rate wasn’t high, he had still gained a massive profit because the materials used cost only 4 substandard primal crystal stones and the rest of the materials would be used to create the Broken Moon Breath Returning Pill.

Zhao Feng didn’t immediately start again because he thought his success rate was too low and he wasn’t skilled nor experienced enough.

On the same day, he took out the Holy Pill Bible and without another words, he imprinted its contents into his mind, then started to comprehend it…

In the process, Zhao Feng paid extra attention to the key points, tricks and tips. After looking at it once, Zhao Feng immediately felt more knowledgeable.

He couldn’t but sigh, if he had read this first, there would’ve been a higher success rate.

Only till late night did Zhao Feng put away the Holy Pill Bible.

From tomorrow onwards, he would go the Clan Mission Division and learn arrays with old man Zhang. But before this, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and the Illusion Fish Picture from the 3rd exam that had been forgotten for so long appeared again.

Before this, Zhao Feng didn’t gain much insights from the Illusion Fish Picture.

This was because he was focusing on the 4 Wind Stances and although the Illusion Fish Picture seemed profound, it seemed to be connected with arrays and not martial arts.

Zhao Feng realised that the Illusion Fish Picture was not as simple as he thought and like he thought, this picture had something to do with arrays.

He found that the changes in the picture seemed like it contained a sort of law from the heavens.

The colours of the fishes, waves of the ocean, light from the sun changed…

The changes in scenery gave others a feeling that everything was fake and that the person was tricked every time.

Zhao Feng was able to count the number and color of fished due to his left eye. His left eye seemed to be born with the power of ‘seeing through’ illusions and under its precision, Zhao Feng was able to reach the 7th scene. But counting the pictures didn’t mean that he had understood why it changed, it only meant he was able to not be tricked.

“Change, fake, real, illusion… ”

Zhao Feng seemed to gain something from the Illusion Fish Picture and he fully comprehended the first two pictures that night.

He realised that the enlightenment from the Illusion Fish Picture could be used in martial arts and it would cause his actions to be full of change, which would make the opponent feel as if his moves were all ‘illusions’.

“Terrifying!”

Zhao Feng tried it out and felt his Star Finger and Smoking Transparent Step seemed to have life and not the same stubborn moves.
