Chapter 131: Eternal Ascent Pill No. 2
When the time comes, how can we prove that the pill formula has been improved? Using new pills to evaluate?” Chen Fei interrupted Qin Jinglan’s fantasy.
“Yes, bring the new pill over. If the pill proves to be effective, you still need to refine it on the spot to prove the composition of the medicinal ingredients.” Qin Jinglan came back to her senses and nodded slightly.
Normally speaking, one would need to be at least a Tier 7 alchemist to improve the Flying Ascent Pill. Because only if the Flying Ascent Pill you refined was good enough would you have the right to say that you improved it.
But in the end, the Alchemist Alliance did not add this requirement, and the bottom line was set at a Tier 8 alchemist.
Sometimes, a pill refiner would have a flash of inspiration and would be able to come up with some useful suggestions. Moreover, many tier 8 alchemists could actually concoct the Flying Ascent Pill, but the pills they concocted were not that good.
“Is the final result decided by the Alliance Master?”
“No.”
“There are a few other pill refiners besides the Alliance Master. Also, this mission had a time limit. If you want to get the reward, you have to do it as soon as possible.”
What do you mean?” Chen Fei was puzzled.
“If a pill refiner manages to produce a result that is approved by the Alliance Master and the other pill refiners, then the other pill refiners must produce a better pill formula within a month. Otherwise, this mission will be considered complete.” Qin Jinglan explained
Chen Fei nodded in realization. This restriction prevented the quest from being extended indefinitely. With Wei Xingshan and the others ‘pill refining standards, they could naturally judge the quality of a pill recipe.
“Understood. Thank you.” Chen Fei cupped his hands.
“Young Master, take care. Come back often when you have time.”
Seeing that Chen Fei was about to leave, Qin Jinglan was a little reluctant, but she did not dare to insist on asking him to stay. She could only bade goodbye softly.
Chen Fei smiled slightly, waved his hand, and turned to leave the Alchemist Guild.
An hour later, Chen Fei appeared in the hot spring inn.
In the future, will you send medicinal herbs here every day?” Chi Defeng looked at the environment of the inn, especially the large hot spring pool. His eyes couldn’t help but light up. This was a good place.
“Yes, I’ll be comprehending the cultivation technique here next.
Chen Fei nodded. In the end, he still decided to stay here all day. After all, there was a formation in this house that could block spying.
Chen Fei had a lot of secrets. Although there might not be anyone keeping an eye on Chen Fei at all times, it was always good to have one more guarantee.
“Alright, then I’ll send the medicinal herbs here tomorrow morning.” Chi Defeng nodded.
The two of them chatted for a while before Chi Defeng bade farewell and left.
Chen Fei activated the array of the house and took out the Receival Bead from his bosom. He walked towards the hot spring step by step.
In this one month, Chen Fei needed to cultivate quite a number of cultivation techniques. He should be able to cultivate the Tranquil Origin Technique and the fifth stage of the Origin Connection Technique to Great Completion.
Naturally, he could not let go of his newly obtained movement technique, Spatial Travel. Cultivating it to Great Completion would ensure his safety in the mystic realm.
Of course, there was also the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. It was only at the beginner stage, but Chen Fei’s body had already undergone such a huge change. Some of the evil energies could no longer pose any threat to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei’s head sank into the water. The Receival Pearl shook slightly, and the surrounding Vital Energy was absorbed. The Suppressing Dragon Elephant operated, dismantling the Vital Energy and refining it into his skin and flesh.
On the fifth day, Chen Fei’s proficiency of the Flying Ascent Pill formula had reached Great Completion. If Chen Fei went to the Alchemist Alliance to take the test now, he could easily become a Tier 7 alchemist.
“Fuse!
Chen Fei ordered the interface and merged the pill formulas of the Flying Ascent Pill and the Eternal Floating Pill together.
Yes, when he heard about the task of improving the pill formula of the Flying Ascent Pill, the first thing Chen Fei thought of was to fuse the Flying Ascent Pill with another pill formula.
The thought he had for the new pill formula was to use the Eternal Floating Pill as the core and the Flying Ascent Pill as the minor part. His goal was not to attain a higher level of the Flying Ascent Pill and obtain a better pill but to lower the requirements of the Flying Ascent Pill.
Chen Fei had already cultivated the two pill formulas to Great Completion. It could be said that Chen Fei knew the various details of the two medicinal pills very well.
Thus, at this moment, Chen Fei had transferred all the methods that could increase the medicinal effects of the Flying Ascent Pill to the Eternal Floating Pill. He had abandoned the parts that could increase the medicinal effects of the medicinal ingredients due to their age.
With the help of the interface, Chen Fei’s fusion speed was very fast. In less than 15 minutes, a new pill formula appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.
The new pill formula was similar to the Eternal Floating Pill. The medicinal herbs required were all of ordinary age. They might not be everywhere, but it was definitely not a difficult thing to collect them.
The effect of the new recipe was unknown. The actual effect of the recipe was based on the product.
Chen Fei left the inn and cautiously went to a few medicine shops before purchasing the herbs.
When the new pill formula appeared, it was already at Great Completion. Thus, Chen Fei did not have any difficulty refining it.
The refining method was very similar to the Eternal Floating Pill, but it also used a portion of the Flying Ascent Pill’s method. In just a moment, the medicinal fragrance filled the room. After a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei opened the lid of the furnace and looked inside.
Chen Fei took out the medicinal pill. A slight fragrance surrounded the medicinal pill. Chen Fei directly consumed one.
In less than an hour, Chen Fei opened his eyes and pondered.
Compared to the Eternal Floating Pill, the medicinal effects were slightly improved, but not by much. It could only be said to be an enhanced version of the Eternal Floating Pill. It couldn’t compare to the medicinal effects of the Flying Ascent Pill at all.
Such a pill formula was definitely valuable. After all, it was more effective than the Eternal Floating Pill. Moreover, the ingredients used were all of ordinary age, so the cost was not increased at all.
The only thing was that because of the addition of some of the refining techniques of the Flying Ascent Pill, the medicinal properties in the pill furnace became much more intense during the refining process. For a Tier 8 alchemist, it was not very friendly.
“Let’s call it Eternal Ascent Pill No. 1.”
Chen Fei gave this pill recipe a new name. The name was very casual. It was just that two kinds of pill recipes used one word each, mixed together.action
He would definitely not complete the mission if he went to the Alliance with this pill. After all, the mission requirement was to improve the Flying Ascent Pill, not to strengthen the Eternal Ascent Pill.
“It seems that it’s too difficult to use ordinary herbs. Unless I can refine pills for the Aperture Tempering realm or even stronger pills. Perhaps I can increase the conflict between the medicinal properties and break through the current bottleneck.”
Chen Fei frowned slightly. Sometimes, refining medicine tested all kinds of techniques. The more skillful the conflict of the medicinal properties, the more it could stimulate the medicinal strength of the medicinal herbs and even fuse them into stronger medicinal properties.
However, Chen Fei was only at the level of a Tier 7 alchemist, and his technique had only reached this level. It was clearly impossible to add a stronger refining technique.
Furthermore, if an ordinary Tier 7 alchemist was unable to refine such a powerful refining technique, the improved pill formula would be a little too unfriendly.
We still have to preserve some aged medicinal herbs.
Chen Fei muttered to himself. Since he couldn’t stimulate the medicinal properties through techniques, he could only increase the age of the medicinal herbs and make the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs meet the requirements.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei began to fuse the pill formulas of the Eternal Ascent Pill and the Eternal Floating Pill. This time, Chen Fei tried to lower the age of some medicinal herbs. If the medicinal properties were insufficient, he would stimulate it by fusing other medicinal herbs.
After repeatedly tossing and turning for two hours, Chen Fei finally figured out the second pill formula.
Eternal Ascent Pill No. 2, this was the name that Chen Fei had come up with.
After getting the pill formula done, Chen Fei went out to look for a medicine shop. Chen Fei still had most of the medicinal herbs, so he bought some of the medicinal herbs he needed in a medicine shop.
After cleaning up the pill furnace, starting a fire, and setting up the furnace, Chen Fei began the second experiment.
The medicinal herbs violently turned in the pill furnace. Chen Fei used his inner strength to control the conflict between the medicinal properties. Soon, another medicinal fragrance floated in the room.
Compared to Eternal Ascent Pill No. 1, the medicinal fragrance emitted by Eternal Ascent Pill No. 2 after it started refining was indeed much richer. From this point, it could be seen that the medicinal effects of Eternal Ascent Pill No. 2 would probably increase by quite a bit.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly. Chen Fei slapped open the pill furnace with a palm, and the medicinal fragrance filled the surroundings.
Chen Fei took out the pill. From its appearance, the second pill was not any better than the first pill. Chen Fei carefully observed it again and found nothing else. Chen Fei swallowed it.
The pill melted as soon as it entered Chen Fei’s mouth, and a burst of energy exploded within his body.
After some time, Chen Fei opened his eyes. His eyes were slightly bright.
Eternal Ascent Pill No. 2’s efficacy had surpassed No. l’s, and the improvement was significant. After all, the medicinal ingredients used were aged. Unless there was a problem with the pill formula derived by Chen Fei, the medicinal effect would definitely increase.
“The medicinal effects have reached the level of 60% of the Flying Ascent Pill, and the price of the medicinal ingredients is slightly more than 50%. If one looked at it this way, it was actually worth it.”
Chen Fei rubbed his chin. From the perspective of cost, it was definitely cost-effective. Chen Fei’s way of doing things was equivalent to creating a medicinal pill that was between the Eternal Floating Pill and the Flying Ascent Pill.
The only problem now was whether the Alchemist Alliance would accept this kind of improvement.
“It’s a little too risky, but I can try it first. If it doesn’t work, I’ll come back and continue my research.”
Chen Fei thought for a moment, then placed the remaining two Eternal Ascent Pills into the medicine bottle and left the inn.
Fifteen minutes later, he appeared in the Alliance.
“Have you figured it out?”
Although Qin Jinglan was very happy to see Chen Fei, she could not help but open her eyes in surprise when she heard Chen Fei’s words. It’s only been a few days, and he was already saying that he had developed a new recipe himself? Wasn’t that a little too fast?
“Whether or not it’s accepted in the end depends on the alliance leader and the others,” Chen Fei said with a smile.
“Do you have the pills?”
Qin Jinglan saw that Chen Fei wasn’t joking, so she quickly brought Chen Fei to the counter and reported this matter.
Soon, a deacon came before Chen Fei.
“Tier 8 alchemist?” Duan Muyou frowned and asked.
Chen Fei was startled and understood what Duan Muyou meant. Although the Alliance had set the bottom line of the mission as a Tier 8 alchemist, it was still hard to believe that a Tier 8 alchemist had really came up with something.
“This is the pill I refined. You can take it and verify it first. If you feel that my pill refining rank is not high enough, 1 can also pass the Tier 7 pill refining examination right now.”
Chen Fei took out an Eternal Ascent Pill from the bottle and placed it into another bottle before handing it to Duan Muyou..
