Chapter 496 The Pure Essence Golden Dan
Inside the secret room, Chen Xiang’s Dan furnace started trembling with a loud bang.
“It is the damned fifth time!” Chen Xiang laid on the ground. His forehead drenched in sweat. This was the first time he had failed so many times in his practice. This Pure Essence Golden Dan was indeed very difficult to refine.
This kind of spiritual energy consumption caused his head to sink. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, thinking about the reason for his failure.
“Damned, it’s all because of those leaves. Why are the same leaves with different natures? Some of them are stubborn enough to burn with fire, while others are gentle enough that they would disappear by accident. Moreover, once they disappear, the Dan furnace will be in chaos and detonated the Pure Essence Fruits.” Chen Xiang’s head was extremely big. There were at least a few dozen of leaves, each of which was different in size. It was equivalent to dozens of different types of spiritual medicines, either very stubborn or very fragile.
Coupled with the supplementary medicinal herbs, it was equivalent to refining sixty to seventy different medicinal herbs at the same time. This made Chen Xiang extremely frustrated.
“These leaves are all the same in the beginning, but after being incinerated by the flames, all kinds of changes will occur. Don’t look down on these leaves. They would not have been the main herbs without such variations! You have to grasp the nature of each leaf as soon as those leaves mutate. You have to remember it well in order to properly refine it.” Su Meiyao said.
These leaves were not mutating simultaneously. Some of them were faster, while others were slower. You would not grasp it if any tiny accident occurred. It seems like all of the leaves mutated in one instant, but they did not mutate in the same instant, because there was a very weak time gap between them.
Therefore, Chen Xiang had to remember the properties of dozens of leaves in half an instant and then quickly refine them. According to the results of the refining, he had to hastily adjust them in half an instant before attempting to refine them again.
“Dan refiners at the Level of King of Dan can split a moment into two hours. Even though it is only a moment, in the eyes of the Dan Kings, it is as slow as two hours, so they have enough time to refine it! You should know that refining methods requires a very high level of mastery of time. Sometimes, you will be defeated in less than half an hour!”
“You must know, the Heavenly Grade Dan refined by the King of Dan can only be obtained once in a thousand years, so they must not fail!”
The time was short, but if his perception was very keen and he took fast lapsing time very slowly, he didn’t have to fail due to short of time.
It was just like when the enemy was punching quickly, if one had strong eyesight and divine sense, he could slow down the enemy’s fast fists and then dodge or block them.
Chen Xiang now understood that refining a higher level Dan did not rely on multiple failures to successfully refine it. Rather, it required other aspects of improvement.
After resting well, Chen Xiang continued refining the Pure Essence Golden Dan. This time, he had to focus on the moment when the leaves changed. He had to slow down that moment so that he would be able to know every leaf thoroughly before properly refining it.
To do this, Chen Xiang’s observation ability needed to be faster and more accurate!
After ten times, Chen Xiang had already made a breakthrough and was able to “slow down” his cultivation. However, he still used up a lot of his spirit energy. Now, he knew why he needed to refine higher level Dan to increase his strength.
Even though he was a cultivator of the Divine Path and had a powerful divine sense, he still couldn’t handle it.
“This time, I must cross that threshold!” Chen Xiang rested for an entire day in put himself in a peak condition. The last time he failed, he was only failing on getting aware of the property of one leaf.
