The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 450 - 264-265 Elixir Formation_2

She forced herself to be as precise as a computer. She needed to conserve every bit of Divine Power, not allowing for any waste.

Ning Xiaoxian once again reached the state of Divine Sense leaving her body. She felt as if she was in the middle of a furnace, where Spiritual Medicines were colliding and reacting with each other. She could see each herb disintegrating into ashes, with only the spiritual essence being extracted and tightly combining with others.

Her palm placed on the Pill Furnace, she adjusted the output of Divine Power little by little, wholeheartedly nurturing the pulsating alchemy fire, maintaining the correct intensity of heat. This was a task of immense difficulty, because the intensity of the alchemy fire might need to be multiplied in an instant from one moment to the next.

Due to the excessive consumption of Divine Sense, her complexion grew increasingly pale, and large beads of sweat formed on her forehead and back—a rare occurrence since she could not remember the last time she had sweated! Now, she was utilizing all her energy to refine the elixir, no longer having any leftover Divine Power to protect her physical body.

Unbeknownst to her, Changtian had also set down his teacup and was silently staring at her actions.

Finally, the last ingredient, the snake tongue grass, was placed into Qiongqi’s big mouth. At this point, all eighty-one kinds of medicines had been added to the furnace. If she could endure this final moment, she would be able to retire successfully!

Ning Xiaoxian dared not relax in the slightest. The snake tongue grass leaves hissed twice and were quickly turned into spiritual essence in the furnace. Eighty-one strands of differently colored medicinal essences chased each other playfully within the small space inside the pill furnace, occasionally colliding and merging into shallow pools of Spiritual Liquid. In this matching game, she could not afford to be careless; a single mistake in the sequence or pairing of the merging essences would render her nearly three two-hour periods of effort in vain.

It was like light rain inside the furnace, as the spiritual essence slowly melted into liquid, spreading at the bottom of the furnace as if sentient, slowly blending together. The golden, radiant Spiritual Liquid spread across the base of the furnace, marking the completion of the liquifying process of the eighty-one essences. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The originally upright and steady Ning Xiaoxian was now on the verge of collapsing, nearly exhausted to the point of depletion of both Divine Power and vigor, yet she could not feel the pain from her body. In such an extreme condition, the Insight Heart Method and Divine Skills needed no prompting, spontaneously operating non-stop, optimizing the use of Divine Power and alchemy fire, capturing even the slightest changes within the furnace in her eyes. She could even see every single molecule’s structure within the Spiritual Liquid. She believed that even if she were to repeat the process, she could not surpass the perfection of this attempt.

Under the roasting of the alchemy fire, the golden Spiritual Liquid slowly contracted and purified, a process that seemed fast but was painfully slow, nearly draining her last ounce of energy. Fortunately, just as her last drop of Divine Power was exhausted, the Spiritual Liquid transformed into two perfect round Elixir Pills.

God Transformation Pill, successful!

She dully withdrew her hand placed on the Pill Furnace, and an overwhelming fatigue swept over her, affecting not just her body but also sending throbbing pain through her Divine Soul. This was the result of her overdrawing her Divine Power, physical strength, and even her Life Force.

She didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

Clanging sounds emanated from the furnace. The newly refined God Transformation Pills, unwilling to remain idle, collided against the furnace walls, trying to burst forth. Qiongqi, going with the flow, opened the lid, and the golden elixirs flew out, scattering in all directions like bolts of lightning.

These damned elixirs, nearly the death of her! Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t be bothered with them, and Changtian, finding them noisy, waved his hand and bound them down, coaxing them quietly back into a prepared Jade Box. The eighty thousand Spirit Stone worth God Transformation Pills were indeed successfully refined by her, producing two from a single batch.

Ning Xiaoxian felt completely hollowed out. She rested for a while before she struggled to get up, stepping into the Demon Transformation Spring as per Changtian’s direction. He wasn’t mistreating her; ever since Ning Xiaoxian reached the mid-stage of Great Success, the effect of entering the Demon Transformation Spring after depleting her Divine Power was particularly remarkable.

The furious Unowned Divine Power in the spring roared into her meridians, unaware that she had set a trap here waiting for them. True One Technique and Insight Heart Method slowed their operations, firmly binding the Divine Power, subduing it, and channeling it to her now empty inner core.

Although she was still unaccustomed to the piercing cold of the Unowned Divine Power entering her body, the gradual feeling of satiation in her inner core was truly comforting, like a person who had starved for ten days and nights suddenly having a hot meal and a big bowl of shark fin soup to warm the stomach. She instantly felt overwhelmingly happy.
