Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 306 - 158: Flame Divine Wood Technique First Layer Perfection, Talent Refreshed_5
"I have quite a knack for alchemy. It won’t take long before I can refine that elixir."
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Cen Zijin looked at him with a bit of doubt.
But seeing Chu Ning’s determined expression, she stood up nonetheless.
"Then let me see your level of alchemy."
As she spoke, Cen Zijin took out something resembling a compass from her storage bag, along with a few array banners.
"Take me to the location of the Hidden Spirit Vein. I’m already aware of where the Earth Fire is located on this mountain.
We also need to combine it with the path of the Spirit Vein. This way, we can accurately locate the position of the pure Earth Fire."
Upon hearing Cen Zijin’s words, Chu Ning also stood up.
He led her to a stone chamber, down a stone stairway, directly into the heart of the mountain where the Spirit Vein lay.
As soon as they entered the Spirit Vein location, Cen Zijin slightly opened her mouth in surprise.
"I always thought the grade of this Spirit Vein was not low, but I didn’t expect it to have reached the degree of Tier Two Middle Grade or even Upper Grade."
Cen Zijin’s bright eyes flickered as they fell on Chu Ning, a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Have you not called me here to set up the array for Earth Fire because you were afraid I’d discover this Hidden Spirit Vein?"
At this moment, Chu Ning did not hide anything, nodding as he said,
"That’s how it was when you first mentioned it. I was afraid the Cen Family would claim it for themselves.
However, after visiting Pinghu Island, that thought disappeared.
The reason I haven’t asked you to set up the array is simply that it wasn’t necessary before."
Hearing Chu Ning speak so frankly, Cen Zijin shot him a glance.
However, she wasn’t angry. Instead, she began probing with a spell.
A little while later, three stone chambers away from their living chamber, Chu Ning, looking at the newly arranged Alchemy Room, was ready to move.
Having an Array Master personally assist in the setup undoubtedly saves a lot of effort.
At this moment, in the Alchemy Room, a Pill Furnace occupied the center. Below it was a pitch-black opening, but there were no flames.
A small array was set up around the Pill Furnace, and Cen Zijin explained the usage to Chu Ning, which was extremely simple.
At this moment, Chu Ning cast a spell, striking a corner of the array by the Pill Furnace.
After a wave of spiritual power, a crimson flame instantly emerged from the pitch-black opening.
Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction as he looked at this pure flame.
Then, his gaze turned to the restriction outside and Cen Zijin, who stood beyond it.
He asked aloud,
"You’ve set up a decent array restriction here. Since this stone chamber already has a restriction, why add another layer in the middle?"
Cen Zijin’s bright eyes gently blinked at this question.
"Naturally, it’s to protect the cave mansion. I heard there’s often a furnace explosion incident during alchemy and artifact refining..."
Upon hearing Cen Zijin’s words, Chu Ning glanced at the slightly smiling face of Cen Zijin.
"Do you look down on the Primordial Pill Spirit Body?"
Chu Ning didn’t respond, and instead, he took out some Spirit Medicines from his storage bag one after another.
Seeing Chu Ning was about to start alchemy, Cen Zijin curiously asked,
"What elixir are you preparing to refine now?"
"Gathering Essence Pill!"
Chu Ning softly replied, and Cen Zijin was stunned for a moment.
Then she cautiously asked, "What did you say, Gathering Essence Pill?
The Gathering Essence Pill for the Middle and Early Stage of Qi Refining?"
Chu Ning nodded, seriously stating,
"I haven’t touched upon the alchemy technique for quite a while, so naturally, I am starting with the most basic Gathering Essence Pill."
Hearing this, Cen Zijin slightly nodded, acknowledging Chu Ning’s words.
And at this moment, seeing Chu Ning take out all the Spirit Medicines from his storage bag, Cen Zijin remained silent.
She, of course, understood that once one genuinely begins alchemy, they should not be disturbed.
In fact, many people don’t allow others to observe during alchemy.
Chu Ning placed each Spirit Medicine in front of him, using the Cleaning Technique to first remove impurities from their surfaces.
Subsequently, he cast several spells onto the Pill Furnace.
Although this hand gesture and spell-casting weren’t very skilled, they were at least smooth, albeit not very fast in execution.
Chu Ning had practiced many times over the past few days, but after all, no real experience.
As the flames in the Pill Furnace reached a certain level, Chu Ning began placing Spirit Medicines into the Pill Furnace following the steps for refining the Gathering Essence Pill.
He began the extraction and refinement process.
This put Cen Zijin, who was watching from the outside, in a slightly uncertain state.
Did this Chu Ning really know how to carry out alchemy before?
She had also seen others perform alchemy, yet watching Chu Ning’s actions,
His technique couldn’t be described as natural before.
But was it possible for someone who just started alchemy to execute such a technique?
Chu Ning wasn’t concerned with Cen Zijin’s thoughts.
Once all the Spirit Medicines were extracted, Chu Ning cast several more spells into the Pill Furnace.
Subsequently, he opened the lid and cleared out the dregs of the Spirit Medicines inside. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
However, after feeling the liquid inside the furnace a bit, Chu Ning’s brows slightly furrowed.
"The purity of this extraction doesn’t seem to be all that high, only about 70%. It turns out that alchemy is not quite as easy to get the hang of as expected."
Though not entirely satisfied, Chu Ning continued with the steps.
Now was the time for the fusion process; these extracted and refined liquids needed to merge together.
This process went exceptionally smoothly, and Chu Ning sensed the liquid inside the furnace had completely fused.
