Chapter 428: Chapter 208: Gathering Spirit Technique, Astonishing Pill Formation Success Rate

"Ninety percent pill formation success rate!"

Beneath the high platform, it wasn’t just the numerous Qi Refining disciples and ordinary alchemists present.

Even the four Alchemy Pavilion stewards showed expressions of surprise, especially Xu Minghua.

This Purple Gold Pill was of his choosing, and it was also one of the elixirs he commonly refined.

But even for him, as an Intermediate Middle Grade Alchemist, his success rate for refining this Intermediate Lower Grade Purple Gold Pill was about ninety percent most of the time.

Yet he had been refining this pill for many years now.

"Could it be that Chu Ning spent the entire past six months refining this Purple Gold Pill? But even so..."

A hint of incredulity appeared in Xu Minghua’s eyes.

The other three stewards had similar expressions, as an eighty percent success rate and a ninety percent success rate were completely different.

Even Ling Cang’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise at this moment.

However, after all, he was a Golden Core cultivator with an extremely high personal talent in alchemy.

This Intermediate Lower Grade Spirit Pill wasn’t particularly noteworthy in his eyes.

So even though he felt a bit surprised, he didn’t show much of it on his face.

On the stage, Chu Ning glanced over the crowd, able to vaguely discern everyone’s expressions.

Knowing that everyone had clearly seen the elixirs he had refined, Chu Ning immediately waved his hand, collecting all the elixirs into a Jade Bottle.

He then waved his hand again, using the Exorcism Technique to place the elixirs on a table in the corner of the high platform.

This was evidently so that everyone could directly inspect the quality of the elixirs later.

To prevent anyone from accusing Chu Ning of substitution.

At this moment, Chu Ning cleared the Pill Furnace a bit and began refining the next kind of elixir.

And upon seeing the medicinal materials Chu Ning took out, many people couldn’t help but exclaim immediately.

"Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Especially those Qi Refining disciples, who now looked at Chu Ning with even more fervor.

In the past year and more, Foundation Establishment Pills were exceedingly scarce in the Jiuhua Sect.

The main reason was the lack of alchemists with high pill formation success rates for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

The rarity of this pill’s ingredients was no less than many Intermediate Middle or even higher-grade pills.

So upon seeing Chu Ning refining a Foundation Establishment Pill, honestly, many Qi Refining cultivators were genuinely hoping his success rate would be high enough.

After all, there were many Qi Refining disciples in the Jiuhua Sect, along with several affiliated large families.

The greatest hope for ordinary disciples to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill was for the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills to increase.

Some Qi Refining Perfection cultivators looked at Chu Ning with fiery eyes.

"If Steward Chu’s Foundation Establishment Pill success rate could exceed eighty percent, then perhaps I might also get a share of this pill!"

Of course, a few elders of the sect were also interested in watching Chu Ning refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.

They were well aware of the scarcity of Foundation Establishment Pills within the sect.

On the high platform, Chu Ning was as calm as before when he was refining the Purple Gold Pill.

This Foundation Establishment Pill was something he was refining for the fourth time.

Apart from refining it once as Alchemist Xiao, He Yanmao had provided Chu Ning with the ingredients three times in the past six months.

Although this pill was considered the most difficult to refine amongst Intermediate Lower Grade elixirs.

If Chu Ning wanted to, he could easily achieve a one hundred percent pill formation success rate.

In fact, he had indeed achieved this in previous attempts.

But now, under the scrutiny of so many cultivators, Chu Ning naturally wouldn’t choose to do so.

Showing an eighty to ninety percent success rate was enough to astound everyone, and if he displayed a one hundred percent success rate, it might backfire.

Golden Essence Grass, Spirit Wood Fruit, Vermilion Fruit, Celestial Silver Frost Dew, Soul Spirit Grass, Dragon Beard Grass...

Chu Ning placed each spirit medicine into the Alchemy Furnace and began extraction and purification.

As the most crucial Heaven and Earth Flower for the Foundation Establishment Pill was placed into the Alchemy Furnace by Chu Ning.

Chu Ning no longer used the ordinary technique he employed earlier.

Instead, he adopted another more profound Fire Manipulation Technique, casting several mysterious spells into the Alchemy Furnace.

He started to control the Earth Fire with extreme precision to extract and refine the Heaven and Earth Flower.

"Hmm?"

When Chu Ning cast these spells.

Even the cultivators with Foundation Establishment Stage or higher cultivation in the Alchemy Pavilion, including Ling Cang, were somewhat surprised.

"This spell is profoundly unique, being only slightly less than the Fire Manipulation Technique needed for the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill.

This Steward Chu is indeed not someone of empty reputation!"

However, Yuan Rongzhang and Geng Wansheng inadvertently furrowed their brows, exchanging glances.

Soon, Yuan Rongzhang gave Geng Wansheng a reassuring look.

For a brief moment, they were indeed worried that Chu Ning, having mastered this profound Fire Manipulation Technique.

Wouldn’t he also quickly comprehend and learn the Fire Manipulation Technique for the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill?

But Yuan Rongzhang, being exceptionally familiar with the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill, could tell that these two techniques were entirely different.

He quickly regained his composure.

After all, mastering two completely different spells isn’t simple; it’s not as if knowing one Fire Element spell makes learning another simple.

And at this moment on the high platform, Chu Ning, having completed a series of extractions and purifications.

Began the subsequent processes of liquid fusion, separation, and forming the pills.

Throughout the process, his Divine Sense continuously monitored the situation inside the furnace.

After dividing the pill liquid into nine portions inside.

Chu Ning cast several spells, instantly lowering the furnace’s temperature to an optimal range. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Simultaneously, he infused several strands of Magical Power into the Pill Furnace, enveloping the Foundation Establishment Pills.
