”Forging pills is really tiring.” Controlling the flame, Ah'Bao then threw several other spiritual herbs into the furnace. After an hour of refining, these spiritual herbs were all refined into a liquid body state. The most crucial moment was to condense the elixirs, merging them into one and condensing them into a elixir.
Many apothecaries failed at this step. To form a core, one needed to have strong willpower. Without strong willpower, even if one only had a tiny bit of concentration and failed to form a core, it would all be for naught. Ah'Bao had already used up most of his zhen qi, but at the crucial moment, he could only grit his teeth and persevere, pouring the last bit of his zhen qi into the furnace.
”Gather for me.” He could no longer hold on. Refining pills consumed a great deal of true energy, and this was only a grade one pill. If a person were to reach level two, it would be almost impossible to refine a pill that was not even at the Nascent Soul stage. This was the reason why there were so few alchemists on the continent.
There were a total of seven levels to an apothecary. A Tier 1 apothecary required at least an Aurous Core stage cultivator to forge a Tier 1 Pill Refiner. In the present world, there were few apothecaries.
”Hmm? Is this a medicinal fragrance? ”Who's the one who is concocting pills?”
”Elder Yu!” At this moment, an old man appeared in the corridor of the room. It was Carefree City's Elder Yu. He followed the pill fragrance and walked to Ah'Bao's room, but was stopped by Li Gu. ”Fellow cultivator, may I ask if the person in this room is concocting pills?”
Li Gu glanced at Elder Yu. Although Elder Yu was only at the Invigorated Meridian Realm, he was able to have a solid footing in the Heavenly Dragon Sect at such a young age. This matter had a great deal to do with his gathering of reputations.
”My family's young master is currently in seclusion. Please leave.”
”Young master? May I ask if fellow daoist is here to participate in the great sect competition? ”
Li Gu nodded.
Elder Yu said: ”I wonder which power this friend came from? I see that you are very careful, my friend. You must have some background, why have you come back to live in this outer sect? You should have come to live in the inner sect. ”
Li Gu lightly said, ”The Boundless Sect of the Giant Dragon Mountain Range is just a small sect and doesn't have the qualifications to enter the inner sect. If there's nothing else, please leave. Young Master is currently in closed door training and should not be disturbed.”
He wanted to see who was concocting the pills here. If he could pull this alchemist into the sect, then his status would definitely rise greatly. However, Ah'Bao would stay in the room for a few days before Elder Yu could only give up.
In the room, Ah'Bao gritted his teeth and persevered, ”Ding …” Inside the pill furnace, there was a clear sound, and Po finally breathed out in relief. His zhen qi had been exhausted, and he had finally managed to make the Spirit Concentrating Pill, and the first time Po had made the pill, he had succeeded. The Nine Dragon Cauldron had a great effect, otherwise, when Po's zhen qi was exhausted, if not for the Nine Dragon Cauldron protecting the liquid inside the cauldron, he would have failed a long time ago.
In the next two days, Ah'Bao hid in his room to refine the Spirit Gathering Pills, using up all the spirit herbs. Aside from one failure during the process due to distraction, he succeeded in the other nine times. There were a total of 90 Spirit Gathering Pills, which could be sold for 10 spirit stones each.
An eight-year-old apothecary. If this news were to spread out, the entire Transcendent World, even the entire continent, would be in turmoil.
Three days later, the mountain peak was bustling with activity. There were tens of thousands of cultivators gathered here, all for the sake of entering the Sky Dragon Secret Realm to search for treasures.
