Chapter 275: Chapter 274: No One Says That the Elixir Must Be Swallowed in One Go
Translator: 549690339
After persuading both the unreliable Senior Immortal Changcun and the even less reliable Bai Hongtu to leave, Jiang Li finally got in touch with the Red Crow Furnace.
“You want me to teach this kid how to make Yuan-Dan? Haha, Human Emperor, indeed you pick the furnace wisely.” Seeing Jiang Li chose itself over Su Wei, Red Crow Furnace couldn’t be happier. It was rattling with joy.
It believed this to be a historical moment that proves its superiority over Su Wei.
Human Emperor giving it recognition.
An adorable teenager was huffing and puffing as he polished the Red Crow Furnace. He was silent all along.
“Is this also a great being who can communicate telepathically?” Yu Feng, who had never seen a talking Pill Furnace, thought it was a transformation of some big shot with peculiar hobbies.
“It’s just a furnace, a top-grade Dao tool, the Red Crow Furnace.”
“Top-grade Dao tool?” Yu Feng sucked in a breath; he had only ever heard of Body Integration Realm cultivators from the Ancient World possessing Dao tools, but he had no idea what the Dao tools looked like.
“Do Dao Tools normally talk?”
“…You’re acting like a man blindly groping an elephant here. Most Dao tools are inanimate objects.”
“Groping an elephant?”
“It’s nothing, just an idiom from Jiuzhou. It has a backstory you wouldn’t know about.”
“Kid, come here. I’ll teach you how to make Yuan-Dan. I guarantee that my way is better than that bloke, Su Wei!”
Half an hour later, Yu Feng was speechless as he held the astonishingly hefty Basics Enrichment Pill.
This Basics Enrichment Pill seemed slightly different from what he expected. It was a bit big.
Yu Feng made a comparison, and it was as big as his head.
Yu Feng was hesitant and began doubting his alchemy skills. After all, he followed the instructions precisely, so how did he end up with a ball-like pill?
“Senior Jiang, did I do something wrong?”
“No, you did it right. This is the best Basics Enrichment Pill.” Jiang Li explained patiently, “A regular Basics Enrichment Pill can only be used up to fifty times. Anything above that, no matter how many you consume, wouldn’t be of any use.”
“But this Basics Enrichment Pill can replace a hundred regular Basis Enrichment Pills. It’s equivalent to consuming a hundred Basics Enrichment Pills by consuming this, thus breaking the fifty-pill limit.”
“I understand the reasoning behind it, but how do I consume this?”
Jiang Li offered an ingenious suggestion: “No one said that one must consume the pill in one go. Use a spoon and scoop some.”
Today seemed like an enlightening day for Yu Feng. He not only met a talking Spiritual Treasure but also encountered a pill that needed to be scooped up.
Was he eating a watermelon?
Perhaps it’s such an unorthodox mindset that makes the Jiuzhou world superior to our Ancient World. As Yu Feng ate the Basics Enrichment Pill with a spoon, he contemplated the flaws of the Ancient World.
He had to admit that Red Crow Furnace’s ideology was more flexible than Su Wei’s. The Basics Enrichment Pill made by its methods actually worked. Yu Feng felt a growth in spiritual power with every bite.
Yu Feng exclaimed: “I have reached the early perfect stage of Foundation Establishment!”
Jiang Li never understood how the Ancient World divided cultivation levels. Wasn’t it troublesome?
Yu Feng could no longer eat after consuming half of the pill. He covered his belly, claiming he was full.
This was more than consuming half a watermelon.
“You can eat it tomorrow. The effect wouldn’t much different then”, said Jiang Li. Normally, the efficacy of a pill would evaporate after it’s cut open, but this Basics Enrichment Pill didn’t have that issue. The efficacy was tightly locked within the pill, enduring without dissipating.
“Master, try this. It’s a by-product of my pill refining process, and it tastes really good.” Yu Feng held up a bowl and handed it to Daoist Tongchen.
Daoist Tongchen chastised Yu Feng: “At such a young age, you’re already not focusing on your studies. You have a natural talent for Talisman Dao and yet you’re learning Alchemy, do you know how to make pills without pill recipes?”
Transmissions of pill recipes in the Ancient World was very strict. Recipes were only passed down from masters to disciples, never to outsiders. Even when it comes to recipes for Basics Enrichment Pills, pill masters are reluctant to share them.
As these recipes continued to be passed down, their content began to change.
This resulted in many Basics Enrichment Pills on the market, but their efficiency varied vastly.
Even Daoist Tongchen, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, only possessed a few pill recipes, such as Basics Enrichment Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills. He got them in exchange for talismans with a pill master.
“You probably don’t have any useful pill recipes. Just take these. They were given to me by a good friend.” Daoist Tongchen glanced at Yu Feng and handed him the few remaining pill recipes.
Yu Feng scanned through the pill recipes, and realized they were all fundamental pill recipes that the Red Crow Furnace has taught him.
He handed the bowl to Daoist Tongchen: “Thank you, Master. Try this. It’s really good.”
“Seeing your sincerity, I will give it a try.” Daoist Tongchen took a sip. The taste wasn’t bad, so he drained the bowl.
“What’s this…?” Daoist Tongchen widened his eyes in surprise. He was shocked to find that his hidden injuries were gradually healing. Although the changes were subtle, he was definitely healing!
“What pill were you refining that gave rise to this?” Daoist Tongchen asked excitedly.
“Basics Enrichment Pill.” Yu Feng took out the half-eaten Basics Enrichment Pill.
“…” Daoist Tongchen doubted if his beloved disciple got cheated by someone.
However, the contents of the bowl indeed had an effect on him.
“Master, don’t worry. Pill refining will not affect my enlightenment on the Dao of Talismans. Alchemy is a side job for me, the Dao of Talismans is my main focus.”
“Mmm, understanding this is good. But you can still pay some attention to alchemy. This bowl of liquid tasted quite good. If you make something similar in the future, let your master try it.”
“Yes.”
The so-called by-products of alchemy were just an excuse made by Yu Feng. He intentionally made this bowl of liquid to heal his Master’s injuries.
He hoped that his Master would return to his peak condition, as an uninjured Nascent Soul Stage cultivator skilled in the Dao of Talismans was extremely formidable.
“Sister Wu Lian, are you there?” Yu Feng ran to Sister Wu Lian’s small yard. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪
“What is it?” Wu Lian ended her cultivation and stepped out of her room.
“Didn’t elder sister give me a small alchemy furnace? I couldn’t wait and tried it out to see if I could refine pills.”
At this point, Yu Feng laughed bashfully and said: “I failed in the end, and the pill wasn’t made.”
Wu Lian comforted: “There’s nothing to be worried about if your first attempt at pill making fails.”
“I did fail, but there were still goodies.” Yu Feng took out a bottle of pills with a hint of pride, “These are all secondary pills. They don’t have a potent efficacy, but they’re sweet.”
Hearing the pills were sweet, Wu Lian’s heart moved: “Let me give it a try. Wow, it’s very sweet.”
Wu Lian was surprised. This was exactly what she wanted to refine when she bought her pill furnace, but she never succeeded. Yet her junior brother succeeded.
Jiang Li thought, of course, it’s sweet. Yu Feng used sugar canes to refine it.
“If it tastes good, then I’ll give all of them to you, sister.” Yu Feng gave both the gourd and the pills to Wu Lian.
“Really?” Wu Lian was slightly excited, but she restrained her outer appearance and seriously advised Yu Feng.
“Remember, you should treat Alchemy as a form of relaxation. Don’t waste your talent in Talisman Dao. Rely on it as your primary focus.”
“Yes, I understand.” Yu Feng obediently nodded.
