Making Golden Body Elixir_2

Zhou Ying, however, didn’t find it a source of shame and explained openly, “My family was destroyed, and it was the old master and young mistress who took me in since I was a child. Due to my poor ability, the old master pulled some strings to obtain a Grade 6 spiritual medicine to help improve my constitution.”
“I started supplementing my body with spiritual medicine from the age of five, continually improving my talent until I became what you see today. If there weren’t any mishaps, I would have had a chance to become a Grandmaster.”
“So that’s how it is!”
Meng Chong realized, then added, “I heard that the ‘Heaven’s Drop Essence’ can enhance talents. Once your junior sister refines the elixir, you can also continue to elevate your talents.”
Although I don’t know why the person in the black cloak abducted Su Lingxiu…
If he is our enemy, then we must destroy him.
“Junior Sister, rest assured, the identity of the man in the black cloak won’t stay hidden for long. Even if he is part of the dark forces, eventually someone will find out, by then my senior brother and I will destroy their hideout!”
Meng Chong viciously declared.
“They are actually very powerful, we need to be careful. As for revenge, I’m not in a hurry. Once I become stronger, naturally I can find them one by one and bury them all!”
Su Lingxiu clenched her fists.
Li Xuan glanced at Zhou Ying but didn’t ask anything. He noticed, Zhou Ying was concealing something. The secrets about Su Lingxiu’s origins and the black cloak man’s intentions, she probably knew something.
Since she wasn’t saying anything, even keeping it from Su Lingxiu, there surely must be some considerations involved.
After Meng Chong brought back a great deal of spiritual medicine, Su Lingxiu once again embarked on researching elixirs. Using the properties of spiritual medicine, she constantly formulated new elixir recipes.
For example, an elixir suitable for Meng Chong’s cultivation.
The physical martial arts focus on training the body, hence the elixirs emphasize the refinement of the body, unlocking vital points, nurturing a golden body, and the properties of the spiritual medicine used all aim to strengthen the physical body.
Based on the theory of ‘monarch, minister, assistant, and guide,’ Su Lingxiu devised her elixir formulas.
This was her first time refining an elixir using only spiritual medicine, she didn’t dare to be the slightest bit negligent. Firstly, she practiced with Ninth Grade spiritual medicine, then when her alchemy skills became proficient, she raised the grade of the elixir she was making.
Below the Pill Furnace, the flames burned intensely. Su Lingxiu had a solemn expression, her hands were aflame, aided with divine firing stones, she embarked on refining her first batch of elixirs.
Not unexpectedly, the first batch of elixirs failed.
The elixirs ended up like clumps.
However, they were ultimately refined from spiritual medicine, so even if they appeared clumpy, their effects greatly surpassed elixirs made from ordinary medicinal herbs.
Red Cat was exuberantly excited.
After chewing on two failed elixirs, it felt somewhat stuffed and lay at the door to digest.
After failing twice, Su Lingxiu finally saw success on her third attempt: twelve elixirs, releasing a delicate fragrance, the surface even displayed a faint glow.
“Second Brother, this is ‘Body Strengthening Pill,’ try it and see if it has any effect!”
Excitedly, Su Lingxiu handed an elixir to Meng Chong.
“Alright!”
Meng Chong was equally pumped up. He wished to break through and achieve perfection in his ‘Great Sun Golden Body’ as soon as possible, and then he could beat the Great Grandmaster.
Swallowing an elixir, he began to refine it.
With one glance, Li Xuan could already guess the results. The ‘Body Strengthening Pill’ was indeed refined from Ninth Grade Spiritual Medicine and had powerful effects, but for Meng Chong who was cultivating his ‘Great Sun Golden Body,’ its effects were a tad ordinary.
Meng Chong’s physical body had long ago reached a state that nearly rivaled a treasure.
“Second Brother, how is it?”
Su Lingxiu asked hopefully.
Meng Chong scratched his head and replied, “The effect is average, but for other martial artists, it should be quite impressive!”
Su Lingxiu considered thoughtfully, the characteristics of various spiritual medicines appearing in her mind. She planned to upgrade the ‘Body Strengthening Pill.’ Meng Chong’s physical body was exceptionally formidable. The effect of ordinary elixirs wasn’t very large.
“Second Brother, don’t worry, I will refine an elixir suitable for your training.”
Su Lingxiu solemnly declared.
“Just do your best, even without elixirs, my cultivation doesn’t slow down.”
Meng Chong wasn’t particularly anxious about this.
The remaining ‘Body Strengthening Pills’ were given to Zhou Ying and Shi’er.
Seeing this, Li Xuan decided to show off a little bit, an elixir recipe forming in his mind.
‘Golden Body Pill!’
“The Dao of Elixirs, is vast and profound, don’t limit yourself to plants, don’t imprison yourself. Today, I will demonstrate a little bit for you.”
Li Xuan sat in his chair, didn’t even bother to stand up.
Raising his hand, a few strands of spiritual medicine flew over.
“Watch closely. This time, I will be performing the Void Alchemy to refine a Furnace of Golden Body Pills!”
With just a wave of his hand, it seemed as if an alchemy furnace appeared in the void, condensed from True Qi.
Spiritual medicines were thrown into the void alchemy furnace, and a roaring alchemy flame emerged immediately.
Before our very eyes, the spiritual medicine melted, extracting the essence, refining away the impurities. The essence of various spiritual medicines fused together, undergoing a transformation.
A faint golden light emerged, and within the void alchemy furnace, twelve pale golden pills appeared.
Su Lingxiu watched without blinking, her heart filled with shock. This void alchemy was truly profound and unpredictable.
“I’ve only just begun, and the realm at which my master stands is so far, far away.”
The Golden Body Pill was successfully refined.
With a swing of his hand, Li Xuan sent the Golden Body Pill flying to Meng Chong.
Meng Chong excitedly received it, “Thank you, Master!”
The moment he consumed the Golden Body Pill, an intense medicinal effect was absorbed into his body. A faint golden light radiated from Meng Chong.
“The Golden Body Pill is meant for the physical martial artists’ cultivation. You two are not physical martial artists. Don’t consume it recklessly, or you’ll harm your physical bodies and damage your foundation, which would outweigh its benefits.”
Li Xuan looked at Shi’er and Zhou Ying and reminded them.
However, his heart was secretly relieved, thinking how dangerous it was. The Void Alchemy consumed so much that it was not something an Innate Realm could execute. Despite his strength being a hundred times over those at the same realm, performing the Void Alchemy was still a close call to losing control.
The consumption was far beyond imagination.
“It was a close shave.”
Li Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the refining had failed, his reputation as a peerless master would have been quite embarrassing.
Luckily, with a strength a hundred times beyond individuals of the same realm and the Void Alchemy seemingly innate in him, he successfully refined the Golden Body Pill.
“Master, this void alchemy…”
Su Lingxiu was excited beyond measure. She massaged her Master’s shoulders while her face was full of anticipation.
“Your strength is too low. Even if I passed it down to you, you wouldn’t be able to grasp it. Master the Barehand Blood Qi Alchemy first, and when your strength has improved, we’ll consider the Void Alchemy.”
Li Xuan realized that passing down the Void Alchemy to Su Lingxiu now would be pointless. She wouldn’t be able to cultivate it nor use it as a foundation to understand a higher level of alchemy.
So, he decided not to pass it down to her for the time being.
Until she had mastered the Barehand Blood Qi Alchemy to perfection and had broken through into the Innate Realm, only then would he pass down the Void Alchemy to her.
“Okay, Master, don’t worry. I’ll be able to break through to the Innate Realm soon.”
Su Lingxiu thought that her master made sense and shouldn’t aim too high prematurely.
Now that there were spiritual medicines, they could refine more types of pills, and she won’t have to worry about consuming too many pills causing a shaky foundation, because she cultivated the Pill Medicine Martial Arts.
Therefore, her cultivation speed would dramatically increase.
Su Lingxiu failed in refining the Golden Body Pill with the alchemy furnace in her first attempt. The defective pills ended up being consumed by Red Cat.
After consuming the Golden Body Pill, Meng Chong went to a small hill outside the manor for his cultivation.
Kou Ruozhi brought over a jade box. Su Lingxiu carefully stored the Heaven Droplet Marrow and the Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine into the jade box and buried it underground.
In the following days, Su Lingxiu constantly engaged in pill refinement, researched pill recipes, cultivated martial arts. Spiritual Medicine was continually consumed and the amount of pills refined increased.
The Blood Qi Pill was a necessity, and the quantity was the most substantial.
The Blood Qi Pill refined with Spiritual Medicine had astonishing effects. Both Zhou Ying and Shi’er saw a rapid increase in their cultivation speed with the help of the pills.
Besides that, some Blood Qi Pills were given to Kou Ruozhi and members of Chang Qing Pavilion.
Su Lingxiu, using spiritual medicine and treasured medicine, refined pills that could assist in refining skin, bones, and organs for those who just entered the Martial Arts realm.
Other than the Blood Qi Pill, there is also the Qi Nurturing Pill, a pill for those in the Innate Realm. It can nurture True Qi, quickly recover consumed Qi, and increase cultivation speed.
However, the Qi Nurturing Pill wasn’t particularly useful for Meng Chong and Xu Yan.
A portion of the refined pills was sent to the Xu Family in the East River County to Xu Junhe, for him to distribute.
Li Xuan called Su Lingxiu over.
It was time to pass down the Pill Medicine Martial Arts Scroll to her.
After receiving the Pill Medicine Martial Arts Scroll, Su Lingxiu’s martial arts cultivation took a step further. The types of pills she could now refine increased, and her pill-refining speed also quickened.
She had already mastered the Barehand Blood Qi Alchemy to perfection. Pills refined from Ninth Grade Spiritual Medicine almost never failed.
Pills refined from Eight Grade Spiritual Medicine had a success rate of over sixty percent.
Of course, if an alchemy furnace was used to assist in pill refinement, pills made from Eighth Grade Spiritual Medicine would have a success rate nearing ninety percent..
