Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1679: Alchemy Efficiency After Losing Life Source Energy! Can Qi-Blood Still Empower?

The two returned together to their residence.

After parting with Chu Huannian, Mu Jinyu returned to his small wooden cabin.

"Creak!"

Closing the door, Mu Jinyu took out a table and a few chairs from the Qiankun Ring, then sat down to ponder what he should do first.

Currently, he had several things at hand that could enhance his strength.

First was the "Bone Tempering Chapter" from the "Humanity Path Sutra".

Although the subsequent tempering methods for the Cervical Dragon and Skull weren't available in the "Bone Tempering Chapter," he could still temper his limbs, enhancing a part of his strength.

Although it might not enable him to advance his cultivation to the peak or later stages of the Divine Transformation Realm, achieving the mid stage should be feasible, right?

Additionally, he possessed the two complete volumes of the "Armament Martial Scripture": the "Sword Scroll" and the "Blade Scroll"!

Practicing these could also significantly enhance his strength.

Mu Jinyu, after contemplating for a while, finally made a decision, saying, "I should start with alchemy!"

Mu Jinyu thought that there was no rush to cultivate these techniques; perhaps it would be better to first create the Bone Condensing Pill and the Impurity-Removal Pill to aid his cultivation.

After all, it's the "Bone Tempering Chapter," and combining it with the Bone Condensing Pill, if he used it for cultivation, the speed of cultivation and strength increase should far surpass his own diligent practice of the "Bone Tempering Chapter".

"Then let's start alchemy."

Mu Jinyu decided, his gaze resolute.

However, he didn't immediately start with the alchemy furnace. First, he took out some array plates prepared previously on Earth and set them up in the room.

Created a simple defensive array and restrictions.

Though simple, a Hedao Realm cultivator trying to break in would need at least a minute.

And such a buffer of time was enough for him to react and make adjustments, preventing someone from barging in suddenly and causing injury from an exploding furnace.

As for cultivators of the Void Breaking Realm and above, like those in the Life and Death Realm, if they wanted to force their way into his dwelling?

There's nothing to be done.

After all, if they're so shameless itself.

What else could you do with them?

After arranging the formation and restrictions, Mu Jinyu took out the newly purchased low-grade divine weapon alchemy furnace.

This furnace bore a resemblance to the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, with dragon and phoenix patterns on its body, so Mu Jinyu named it the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.

Consider it a sort of tribute.

After enlarging the new Dragon Phoenix Cauldron to a normal size, Mu Jinyu placed it on the ground, then closed his eyes to recall the pill formula and sequence for alchemizing the Bone Condensing Pill from the jade slip.

"Let's begin."

After confirming no mistakes, Mu Jinyu opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, and placed his hand on the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.

"Boom!!"

Immediately, fierce flames engulfed the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.

However, the temperature and power of the flames made Mu Jinyu frown slightly.

His cultivation had previously been at the peak of the Hedao Realm, and every alchemy session had intense flames.

Now, with his cultivation reduced to the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, though he could barely summon divine flame, its might couldn't compare to before.

"These pill flames are too small, slowing down the alchemy efficiency, but now it's difficult for my cultivation to return to the Hedao Realm quickly, what should I do?"

Mu Jinyu frowned tightly, whispering softly.

"Sigh, I should find a suitable Earth's Fire someday to assist my alchemy!"

Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu eventually had to start alchemy with such weak flames.

Ten minutes later.

The Solidifying Pill, being just an elixir of the Fanxu Realm, was quickly completed by Mu Jinyu, but the yield and quality of the pill were far inferior to when he used Life Source Energy from the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture" for alchemy.

This batch yielded only two pills, each with only one line of danwen.

This was the worst among fine quality elixirs.

Since learning alchemy, Mu Jinyu had never made such a poor elixir.

"Damn, without Life Source Energy, even alchemy has become terrible!"

Mu Jinyu cursed at the two dark pills in his hand.

In that moment, Mu Jinyu really wanted to find a way to practice the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture" again—not necessarily enabling the infinite generation of Life Source Energy to heal others at will, but at least a good efficiency for alchemy.

But ultimately, Mu Jinyu ceased this thought.

After all, the cultivation environment in Canglan Realm made practicing the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture" exceedingly difficult, and since he had decided to follow the cultivation path centered on humanity, and with no Wood Spirit Root after severing the Divine Dragon Blood, he couldn't cultivate the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture" anymore.

"I refuse to believe my alchemy solely relies on Life Source Energy!"

Gritting his teeth, Mu Jinyu decided not to continue with the Solidifying Pill but took out other medicinal materials to practice with ordinary elixirs first.

A furnace, two furnaces...

In a blink, Mu Jinyu had refined ten batches of elixirs.

Though it left him a bit breathless and greatly consumed, the gains were significant.

Initially, he was unaccustomed to alchemy without Life Source Energy, with a pill yield of only one or two, and each pill had just a single danwen. But now, he could ensure a yield of four to five pills.

Most importantly, each pill had three lines of danwen!

Three danwen, classifying it as the best fine quality elixir.

Another line of danwen would make it a fine elixir.

Although it couldn't compare to his past alchemy, where he would yield seven or eight pills with each elixir having eight danwen lines.

Given the current limitations, this satisfied him well enough.

"Let's take a break first."

Mu Jinyu found that alchemy this way consumed much more than the previously ever-generating Life Source Energy.

After a brief rest, Mu Jinyu's breath steadied.

Then, Mu Jinyu once again took out the various ingredients for the Bone Condensing Pill, preparing to directly refine the Bone Condensing Pill without further practice runs.

From the earlier practice rounds, he realized that with his current cultivation level, without the aid of Life Source Energy, this was the best he could achieve.

Even with Life Source Energy, at an early Divine Transformation Realm cultivation, he could basically produce only five or six pills, with each having five or six danwen lines.

So, the difference wasn't too significant.

Thus, he was disinclined to waste more time enhancing the yield and quality through repeated practice.

"Boom Boom Boom!!"

Mu Jinyu placed his hand on the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, and the flames surged again, enveloping the entire furnace.

Then, Mu Jinyu began to add ingredients successively, starting to extract and purify the medicinal liquid essence.

During the process of alchemy, Mu Jinyu suddenly had a thought.

Even though he lost Life Source Energy, after cultivating the "Blood Tempering Chapter," the qi-blood within him seemed to change, becoming more active, exerting effects equivalent to Life Source Energy for pureblooded humans.

In that case, if he incorporated his qi-blood into alchemy, could it improve the yield and quality of the pills like Life Source Energy?

Once this thought emerged.

It could no longer be suppressed!

Mu Jinyu had initially planned to try this idea on a regular elixir after completing this batch of Bone Condensing Pills, but as this thought surfaced, he became restless like a cat on hot bricks. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Finally, he gritted his teeth, unable to wait any longer.

He directly introduced strands of qi-blood into the alchemy process!
