Chapter 1255

The greatest difficulty in refining an eighth-grade pill lies in the consumption of true qi and mind and spirit; ordinary pill refiners cannot withstand it, that is a full day's time, enough to be lethal; one must keep the alchemy furnace from collapsing, keep the pill fire burning continuously, and also watch the pill's fusion and impurity removal, not knowing how much single-minded effort is needed.

Therefore, when refining pills, being disturbed is the biggest taboo; even someone nearby cannot be allowed, otherwise Chen Chuyang would not shrink into a room each time to refine pills, activating the formation to keep outsiders out, and also reminding his wife not to allow others to approach.

The precaution is against disturbance, lest the rhythm be disrupted and the refining fail.

Xiao Qian'er rarely leaves the pill refining hall, and does not allow others to enter recklessly, which is exactly this principle.

The consumption of soul power accelerates; the later it gets, the more it increases step by step; Chen Chuyang's soul power is not to be feared, he can squander it; with the Sixth Layer cultivation of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture, his true qi and soul have become so abundant that words cannot describe.

The consumption for an Eighth-grade Pill is negligible; not every pill refiner possesses his cultivation and strength; most other pill refiners neglect their own training, resulting in low cultivation, or rather, their strength may be decent but not top-tier.

Compared to Chen Chuyang, there is no comparison.

Besides that, the formula, materials, refining technique, flame, alchemy furnace, and heavenly earth spiritual energy, etc., all factors combined give only a thirty percent success rate; moreover, a certain amount of luck is needed, and those with bad luck cannot become pill refiners.

Chen Chuyang's luck has always been good; staying on Longshe Shan, he has the luck of the little carp; in terms of luck, it goes without saying, he is naturally among the top tier, just short of having the four words 'heaven's chosen son' carved on his forehead.

Even so, the refining of the Dragon King Pill still encounters many obstacles; several times it almost failed, being forcibly brought back under control by Chen Chuyang, which also indirectly shows that refining the Dragon King Pill is extremely difficult.

One day later, Chen Chuyang's hand movements stopped, all hand seals were completed, and the final condensing-pill action also ceased.

His eyes fixed on the interior of the alchemy furnace, his spiritual sense permeated inside, seeing the gradually condensing pill, and he exhaled a breath.

His whole body was extremely fatigued, that kind of mental and physical exhaustion cannot be described in words.

"Huff, huff, huff, finally we've reached this step; what remains is to watch the alchemy furnace nurture."

The nurturing ability of the Giant Dragon Alchemy Furnace is very strong, requiring no worry from Chen Chuyang.

He can simply restore his cultivation and soul, without letting himself suffer too much loss.

Time passed second by second, three two-hour periods passed, and inside the alchemy furnace the scene changed.

The explosive flames dissipated, leaving only a faint warmth; several pills hovered above the alchemy furnace, gradually transforming.

Shedding that outer layer, it revealed the pill inside.

Suddenly.

"Roar."

The dragon's roar shook the alchemy furnace; the Dragon King Pill seemed about to burst open the furnace and fly away directly.

Chen Chuyang reached out and pressed down on the alchemy furnace, only then preventing its lid from being blown off.

"Roar."

The dragon's roar continued, echoing in Chen Chuyang's ears, and his soul followed with a tremor.

The Dragon King Pill kept striking; Chen Chuyang opened the lid and grabbed the pill with one hand.

Nine Dragon King Pills appeared in his palm, all under his control.

Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, nine Dragon King Pills, eighth-grade pills, refining successful."

"At last it wasn't wasted; my pill-refining art has improved again, I can now refine eighth-grade pills, truly……"

"If he doesn't push himself, he doesn't know where his potential lies?"

"The Po Luo Elixir Canon is indeed good; it gave Chen Chuyang's pill-refining art systematic training, merged with his understanding of pill refining, and combined with the myriad pill canons and refining arts of this world, allowing him to surpass many others in this field."

As his experience continually enriched, his understanding of pill refining gradually began to surpass the records of the Po Luo Elixir Canon; this book only has the earlier version, later on there is none, after seventh-grade pills there is nothing more, and what Chen Chuyang needs is not the latter half but the former half.

For the later parts, if he can find them, great; if not, he won't complain of regret.

All that he has gained comes from his own contemplation; the appearance of the Po Luo Elixir Canon is no different from other pill refiners creating it based on their own pill-refining art; strictly speaking, it is also a product of comprehending heaven and earth, comprehending pill creation.

What the predecessors left behind is not necessarily all good.

There is also dross that he needs to discern; Chen Chuyang walks his own pill-refining path, naturally he will also have his own ideas.

"The Po Luo Elixir Canon is truly good; without this book, my pill-refining art would not have advanced to eighth-grade so quickly."

"Later improvements, however, won't be that fast."

"Ninth-grade pill refiners, even in Tianwai, are few enough to be counted on one's fingers."

This refers to the whole of Tianwai, not just Cangzhou.

As for Tianwai, Chen Chuyang also knows a bit; the more he understands, the more he discovers Tianwai's terror.

Cangzhou is merely a remote corner of Tianwai, not the central region.

It is still a very remote place, incomparable to the central region.

In every aspect, it cannot compare.

"As for even higher-grade holy pill refiners, they are even rarer."

"For now I'm not in a hurry; the fact that I can refine eighth-grade pills also needs to be concealed for a few years, cannot be exposed."

"As of now, only I and this little girl Hongxue know; others had better not know."

Regarding Shang Hongchen, Chen Chuyang did not directly tell her he was refining eighth-grade pills, but said he was refining pills.

It's not that he doesn't trust her, but rather to be safe; the fewer people who know, the better.

Others also had better not know, lest they slip the tongue.

"Nine Dragon King Pills are enough for me to train for many years; I don't know how effective this one Dragon King Pill is; how much stronger is its effect compared to the Myriad Medicine Dragon Blood Pill?"

Gazing at this Dragon King Pill before him, besides the azure dragon's essence blood, he also added many other essence bloods, such as that of the Luotian White Snake Clan, plus the many dragon clan essence bloods obtained through trade by the Luotian White Snake Clan, as well as some essence bloods obtained through trade by the Huang Family and the Holy Maiden Bai Hang; anything related to the dragon clan, after being refined by him, was fused into it.

Otherwise why would it be called the Dragon King Pill; it is a pill formed by fusing many dragon bloods.

Opening his mouth, Chen Chuyang happened to need this pill; it melted upon entry.

After the pill dispersed, its terrifying efficacy erupted instantly, flooding Chen Chuyang's entire body.

Exerting the Hunyuan Dao Scripture to the fullest, Chen Chuyang dare not relax; he does not want these effects to dissipate, not a bit of energy can be wasted, he must absorb it all.

Time gradually passed, over ten days.

The Dragon King Pill's efficacy remained tremendously terrifying, filling the entire room.

Again and again it struck the formation; in the end, Chen Chuyang devoured them all.

Opening his mouth, he swallowed in one gulp the efficacy that had seeped out from his skin, and Chen Chuyang's cultivation method broke through as well.

Pop.

The Hunyuan Dao Scripture's Sixth Layer Middle broke through.
