Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 307 - 158: Flame Divine Wood Technique First Layer Perfection, Talent Refreshed_6
Then started casting spells continuously, separating the already merged medicinal liquid.
Evenly divided into nine portions, without the slightest error.
At this moment, Chu Ning finally began the next critical step, Nascent Soul formation!
The spells were cast one after another...
Everything seemed exceptionally smooth, but at a certain moment, Chu Ning abruptly stopped.
He then furrowed his brow slightly and opened the Pill Furnace.
Inside, there were only nine lumps of dregs at the moment.
This first attempt at alchemy ended in failure.
Watching from the outside, Cen Zijin wanted to ask something when she saw Chu Ning’s expression.
But she opened her mouth, yet still didn’t speak.
At this moment, Chu Ning was already clearing out the dregs from the Pill Furnace, and after cleaning it thoroughly.
He began his second attempt at alchemy.
This time, Chu Ning deliberately slowed his pace during extraction, carefully sensing the situation inside the Pill Furnace.
And after completing the extraction, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Compared to the previous extraction and purification, there was a marked improvement this time.
The purity of the medicinal liquid had reached about eighty percent.
Yet even under these conditions, the final step of Nascent Soul formation still failed.
"It seems that during the fusion, it wasn’t thorough enough."
Chu Ning summarized his experience, cleared away the remnants, and started his third alchemy attempt.
When he opened the Alchemy Furnace for the third time and poured out the dregs inside.
Outside, Cen Zijin’s eyes finally showed a change.
Originally just curious and observing the spectacle, her gaze towards Chu Ning now carried a hint of doubt.
"Can this guy really perform alchemy? The Gathering Essence Pill should be a very basic elixir.
If he truly knew alchemy before, why does he keep failing consecutively?"
Recalling Chu Ning’s words when she mentioned this place had Earth Fire, claiming to know nothing about the alchemy technique.
Cen Zijin felt that Chu Ning must have lied to her at some point.
If it weren’t for Chu Ning’s always calm and confident demeanor,
Cen Zijin would have been compelled to ask him about it.
However, seeing Chu Ning start a fourth alchemy attempt, she chose to watch from afar.
After a while, Chu Ning once again opened the furnace.
At the same time, seven black pills flew up with a tap of the Pill Furnace and fell into Chu Ning’s hand.
Cen Zijin immediately walked over.
"So you can really refine pills, huh, wait a minute..."
When Cen Zijin took the pill from Chu Ning’s hand, she sensed something off.
"This pill has no trace of Spiritual Qi fluctuation."
"Wasted Pill!" Chu Ning explained from the side.
Then he tossed six of the seven pills aside, keeping only one.
"This one barely qualifies as a finished product, but the quality is not high."
Chu Ning said, putting the pill into a Jade Bottle. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Seeing this, Cen Zijin finally couldn’t help but ask:
"Did you really refine pills before?"
"Of course!" Chu Ning nodded.
"It’s been too long since I last refined them, so I’m a bit rusty. But believe me, the success rate will soon rise!"
Cen Zijin thought for a moment, then shook her head, saying:
"I don’t believe it. Watching you refine pills just now, I felt like you hadn’t done it before.
And you only succeeded with one pill after four attempts, now you claim the success rate will rise significantly, I don’t buy it."
Chu Ning chuckled:
"How about we make a bet? If I can quickly improve the alchemy success rate,
you’ll help me sell the Gathering Essence Pills and the Spiritual Essence Pills that I refine later.
Also, you have to provide more Spirit Medicine for my practice."
Cen Zijin agreed without hesitation.
"Alright, just like with the Talismans before, I’ll sell as much as you have."
Her Cen Workshop had done well with Talisman business over the past two years, which boosted other businesses too.
For elixirs, Cen Zijin was confident she could sell them.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning immediately took out a considerable amount of materials from his Storage Bag.
And then, once again, he started refining a new batch of Gathering Essence Pills.
As a result, Cen Zijin was surprised to find that Chu Ning’s claim about the quick improvement of the success rate wasn’t just boasting.
In the subsequent batch of Gathering Essence Pills, Chu Ning successfully refined 2 pills.
In the next furnace, Chu Ning refined 3 pills.
In yet another furnace, Chu Ning refined 4 pills.
Chu Ning then stopped; having refined too many pills that day, his Magical Power and Divine Sense were significantly drained, requiring rest.
Cen Zijin had already agreed when Chu Ning previously invited her to stay and rest here for a few days.
Now, she wasn’t leaving.
The next day, she waited in the Alchemy Room and watched Chu Ning refine pills again.
Then she witnessed the rapid increase in the success rate firsthand.
In the first three furnaces of the day, Chu Ning successfully refined 4 Gathering Essence Pills each time.
By the fourth batch, the number had increased to 5 pills.
By the seventh batch of the day, Chu Ning’s success rate had risen to 6 pills.
After the morning’s alchemy session, Chu Ning meditated at noon to restore his Magical Power and Divine Sense and continued in the afternoon.
In the continuous batches of pills in the afternoon, Chu Ning maintained a sixty percent success rate.
Just when Cen Zijin thought this might be Chu Ning’s limit, in the last batch, he directly refined 7 Gathering Essence Pills.
Out of materials for 9 pills, only two ended up as Wasted Pills, with the remaining seven being successful.
Moreover, Cen Zijin could clearly sense that the quality of these pills was steadily improving.
The improvement was significant enough for even an outsider to alchemy like her to notice.
It was only at this moment that Cen Zijin finally believed Chu Ning could truly perform alchemy.
After all, she couldn’t believe a person with no previous alchemy experience could master a pill refining technique in such a short time.
And also produce such high-quality pills with such a high success rate.
Thus, three days later, Cen Zijin left Chu Ning’s Cave Mansion with several bottles of Gathering Essence Pills.
She also promised to return in ten days with materials for refining Gathering Essence Pills for Chu Ning.
After another month, the alchemy materials provided to Chu Ning were replaced with those for Spiritual Essence Pills.
Along with several different kinds of medicinal materials for other pills.
And under such intense practice, Chu Ning’s alchemy technique rapidly improved.
Preparing for the refinement of the Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pill and Profound Spirit Treasure Pill.
