C14 (1/2)

After studying for a few days, Zhen Yinjian realised that ever since he obtained the blood of the Indestructible body of the Divine Emperor, his own memory had become better and better. This thick and brick-like book was memorized by him in just half a day, and he was able to understand some of the principles behind alchemy more clearly.

The next day, he went to his room knowing that he was familiar with the concocting process of the ”Spring-Returning Pill” and started concocting the first batch of pills in his life.

As expected, refining pills was not a simple task, Zhen Yinjian quickly realised that his first batch of pills had failed.

There was another muffled sound, and before the door could open this time, black smoke leaked out from the window. Not long later, a 'black man' rushed out, spitting nonstop at the ground.

”F * ck, I don't believe this evil, that dog shit Spring-Returning Pill is so hard to refine.” With that said, Zhen Yinjian rushed back inside.

In the next ten days, strange muffled sounds came out from a large house in Zhen Mansion from time to time, accompanied by black smoke and an indescribable stench. Seeing this, many servants quickly avoided Zhen Yinjian's house, looking at it with fear.

What a joke! Two days ago, some bold shop assistant had peeked at him closely, but in the end, he had fainted for three days and three nights just because of inhaling the black smoke!

The door creaked open and Zhen Yinjian walked out in a daze. He did not think that this Spring-Returning Pellet would be so difficult to refine. He had already refined it for ten days but still had no way to concoct a qualified pellet.

He took out two freshly concocted pills from his bosom. These pills looked about 80% similar to the ”Spring-Returning Pill” from . They were shiny black and at the same time, released a slight aroma. However, Zhen Yinjian was still not satisfied.

One had to know that the color of the ”Spring-Returning Pill” in the manual was much redder than the pitch-black pill in his hands. Moreover, the fragrance of the pill was definitely not less than that.

”Oh my god, why is refining pills so difficult!” Zhen Yinjian helplessly wailed.

In order to concoct this so-called Spring-Returning Pill, he had already used up all of the medicinal ingredients that were worth five thousand taels of silver, thus he had obtained the two semi-finished products that were slightly better. The cost of refining a pill was so high that it left him astonished.

This was even the lowest grade of medicinal pills, not even worth mentioning. If it was a high-grade medicinal pill with a complicated nature and over a hundred medicinal ingredients, wouldn't it be even more difficult? Thinking about it, Zhen Yinjian's scalp felt numb.

He sat on the ground and looked at the medicinal dregs and pills that were slowly being wasted in the house. Zhen Yinjian scratched his head which was like a chicken's nest as he felt worried. Now that Hua Guang had borrowed money from the clan elders and was still unable to successfully refine the Returning Spring Pill, what should he do?

He did not have much money left, and the clan elders would probably not lend him any more money. He originally planned to use his alchemy skills to earn more money to learn new pill formulas, but now he was stuck.

What should he do?

”Wait, I seem to remember that the spatiotemporal technique in the Exchange System can be used to practice and refine alchemy through the method of time acceleration?”

Just as he was at the end of the line, Zhen Yinjian suddenly realised that he still had the System. Thinking up to here, he slapped his thigh and did as he was told.

Then, Zhen Yinjian immersed his consciousness into his mind, and once again, he saw the strange heart of this strongest peach transport system. Then, he used his consciousness to enter the trading library and saw that the ”spatiotemporal technique” indeed had this function.

The function of the ”Pill Formation Practice” was to set up a function so that the practitioner could practice and use the spatiotemporal technique to practice their alchemy and arrays. Every time they tried to refine a pill or an inscription formation, the amount of materials they had to spend would be unlimited.

With such a powerful function, of course the price would be different. Spending two times more on the spatiotemporal technique than on the Communication Martial Arts, which meant that the 200 Conquest Points could be exchanged for a year's worth of practice.

Zhen Yinjian spent a total of 200 Conquest Points on it as soon as possible, and entered the system space using his consciousness. In the space created by the brilliant stars of the spatiotemporal technique, he saw the pill furnaces and herbs that he had previously used to concoct pills, so he started to practice the extremely time-consuming and wasteful art of concocting pills little by little.

Fortunately, it was the same as the martial arts practice. As a pill refiner, he did not feel exhausted from the practice of alchemy. This was also one of the wonders of this space.

When Zhen Yinjian's knowledge came out of the System Space, only a few breaths of time had passed in the real world. He was very satisfied with the effects of this alchemy exercise.

First, after a year of endless practice, he had finally found the method to concoct the Spring-Returning Pill. Currently, the success rate of concocting this kind of common pill was more than 95%, and there was also a 20% chance to refine a high-quality Spring-Returning Pill that surpassed the records of the Alchemy Book.

Why did he say that the quality of the Spring Pellet was high? This was because he could feel that the pill would exude a fragrance that would float for ten miles. The potency of the pill was even richer than the Spring Restoration Pill he had refined before. As for the exact standard of such high quality pills, he had no idea. For this matter, he planned to find the medicine shop and inquire about it.

Alright, since he knew the method to concoct the Spring Pill, he would have to speed up his progress and concoct a batch of pills. Arriving at the market once more, he found the medicine store where he had bought the medicine before.

”Boss, continue to buy me two thousand taels of medicinal ingredients for the Spring Pill. You should know the ratio. Hurry up.” Zhen Yinjian walked into an antique medicine store and knocked on the table.

”Aiyo, customer, you've come again. Did you use up the batch of medicinal ingredients you bought last time?” A man wearing a square cloth scarf greeted him.
