Chapter 81: Frenzied Pill Refinement

Two hours later.

After Li Ming had consolidated his new level of cultivation, his aura similarly stabilized.

After reaching the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, his overall strength had undergone a qualitative leap. There was a world of difference between him now and him when he was at the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm!

Li Ming could very clearly feel the increase in his strength.

Every difference in cultivation often represented a huge gap, and this gap was generally considered insurmountable.

This was why, in many cases, the difference of just a small realm could bring about a crushing display of strength.

After resting for a while, Li Ming quickly placed his mind back into work mode.

After all, he still had pills to refine!

To be more specific, he had eight fourth-grade medicinal pills and one medicinal pill that was close to fifth-grade to refine.

This challenge was somewhat difficult.

But as Li Ming already had experience from refining the fourth-grade profound spirit pill, he was not that worried.

The only thing really was that the pill that the great elder wanted him to refine for him made him somewhat curious.

A pill meant for nascent soul cultivators was naturally extraordinary.

Even with the support of the entries, Li Ming still could not help but have his heart start pounding in anticipation.

The great elder had prepared a whole ten sets of materials for the pill he needed. If Li Ming could succeed in one try, then the rest of the materials would belong to him.

It was the same case for the other consecrated elders.

If he succeeded on the first try, he would benefit significantly.

However, Li Ming did not think too much into it and immediately took out the pill furnace he was provided.

The furnace he was given this time was naturally different from the previous one.

After all, this one was directly given to him by the consecrators, and its quality was top-notch in all aspects.

After setting up the furnace, Li Ming raised his hand and waved it. A strong wind rose and instantly opened all of the boxes containing the medicinal herbs. Because he had already refined the profound spirit pill once before, Li Ming's speed in pill refining had also increased, largely due to him being a lot more confident now.

With the help of the Four Symbols Pill Refining Technique and the help of his entries, everything from the extraction of medicinal ingredients to the condensation of the essence and so on went very smoothly.

Previously, refining a fourth-grade profound spirit pill had taken him a whole two hours.

But now, Li Ming only needed a single hour to refine one!

While the time it took the refine the pill was shortened, the quality did not decrease. In fact, the quality of the pill was even slightly better than before.

Therefore, after refining the first pill, Li Ming did not stop. High-intensity pill refinement was usually something that other pill refiners would consider a form of torture, but for Li Ming, it was a completely different story.

After all, he cultivated both his body and qi, and his physical body was sturdy. The tiny bit of fatigue brought about by the pill refining process was not even enough for Li Ming to temper his body.

An ordinary pill refiner who could persist in refining three times in a row would already be considered to have a strong body and great endurance.

After all, pill refining also significantly taxed the pill refiner's soul, exhausting their mental strength.

However, Li Ming had received a divine soul opportunity, so he had an even greater advantage in this regard!

This was also why he was able to refine a fourth-grade medicinal pill previously. Other than the help of the black stone and the effect of the entries, his strengthened soul gave him much greater control compared to other pill refiners, and it was a crucial aspect to why he was able to do what he was doing.

Everything that he had was indispensable!

Coincidentally, he had everything that he needed to succeed in this path.

Deep into the evening, in the front courtyard of the Martial Hall, the furnace that had been blazing for hours upon hours was finally extinguished.

Looking at the eight bottles on the ground beside him, Li Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

The pill refining session this time was extremely successful. He had managed to successfully refine all eight fourth-grade profound spirit pills in one go!

At the same time, Li Ming managed to save a lot of the materials.

It was important to note that the herbs that could refine a fourth-grade pill were generally expensive.

In the end, he decided to keep them for future use.

As for the great elder's pill?

Li Ming left it for tomorrow.

He had already consumed quite a lot of time just from refining all the pills that he did today.

Even if he had become a lot more familiar with the process, that did not mean that the process was simple.

Moreover, refining so many pills at once naturally consumed a considerable amount of his energy.

Regardless, the toughness of his body had increased, and his soul had also been tempered and improved to a certain extent.

Pill refining had allowed him to experience a clear improvement in his control of spiritual qi, the toughness of his body, and the strength of his soul.

The biggest difference between him and other pill refiners was that other pill refiners would tend to use up their vitality and all their energy when refining pills. Additionally, they were unable to withstand the extreme heat of the refining process without surrounding themselves with their own spiritual qi, greatly reducing their efficiency.

Most of their cultivation relied on absorbing spiritual qi when refining pills to increase their cultivation.

There was a large gap between them and Li Ming.

Although he was done refining pills for the day, Li Ming did not plan to rest.

After a short rest, he immediately began to circulate the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art and began training.

After an entire day of refining pills, although his body was already a little tired, after beginning to cultivate his body, the fatigue quickly dissipated.

It was replaced by a feeling that Li Ming was used to.

At the same time, the effect of body cultivation was very obvious.

His body had absorbed a large amount of spiritual qi when he was refining pills. Now that he was properly cultivating his body, the spiritual qi began integrating with his body and transforming into his own strength.

The effect was quite substantial.

The sect promotion conference was imminent.

The disciples of the various sects were all preparing for the upcoming battles. As the number one sect in the Heavenly Southern Region, Divine Will Sect's disciples were naturally not exempt from this.

Every single one of them was working hard on their cultivation.

They were all working hard to increase their strength.

Li Ming, on the other hand, continued switching between pill refining and cultivation repeatedly.

The next morning, after Li Ming finished his morning cultivation and had some rest, he immediately began refining pills.

After he completed this soul concentration pill that had a quality nearing the fifth grade, he could fully devote himself to his own cultivation.

Just by looking at the pill formula for this soul concentration pill that was nearing the fifth grade, Li Ming could tell that there was something fundamentally different about it when compared to the other pills that he had refined.

However, Li Ming, who was already somewhat experienced, did not delay and began refining.

Although he wanted to save on materials, Li Ming could only do his best.

As the materials were refined, Li Ming began preparing to fuse them.

As each medicinal ingredient gathered together, Li Ming instantly discovered a problem.

Compared to other medicinal herbs, the rejection that these medicinal herbs had towards one another when they were condensing was much greater!

It was as if they were on two opposing sides. It seemed as if they did not want to be associated with one another in the slightest.

If he tried to forcefully merge them, it was as if they would much rather destroy themselves!

Li Ming tried fusing them, but he did not expect that the rejection would be so great that the medicinal herbs would end up completely destroyed!

Even the entire furnace started to shake.

This also meant that his first try had failed!

Even though he had failed once, Li Ming was not discouraged and chose to continue!

He still had a lot more chances anyway.

Failure was very common, and it should not deter one from finding success.

Therefore, Li Ming began his next try without any pressure.

This time, Li Ming observed everything much more carefully and seriously, looking for the common points among the different herbs that would then allow him to fuse them together.

It had to be said that Li Ming's choice this time was correct.

It was precisely by relying on the specific similar characteristics of the medicinal ingredients that they would then be able to fuse together to increase the chances of successfully refining the pill.

Together with a lot of other factors, under the refinement of the golden crow true fire, the medicinal essences slowly fused together.

Just this process alone took Li Ming a full hour!
