I made no mistakes; how could the pill formation process for the Spirit-Enhancing Pills fail?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan was puzzled, but he had no master to ask for answers at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Heaven Sect naturally has its own Pill Hall, where dedicated personnel answer questions for the sect's alchemists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that requires paying contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Ye Qingxuan could pass the Pill Hall's assessment and join the hall, he could not receive any free guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep getting alchemy knowledge for free, one must display astonishing alchemical talent, join under a Pill Hall Elder, and naturally receive the Elder's vigorous cultivation support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this is not the path Ye Qingxuan wishes to take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he joined under a Pill Hall Elder and became that Elder's disciple, he would not be permitted to become a Blessed Cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an immortal with low cultivation talent, becoming a Blessed Cultivator is Ye Qingxuan's best cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long lifespan of a Blessed Cultivator allows him to survive within the Profound Heaven Sect indefinitely, without worrying about his visible lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A temporary setback is not enough to shake Ye Qingxuan's chosen path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even relying solely on myself, I do not believe my comprehension cannot make the path of the Alchemist work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan thought silently, then took out the Spirit-Enhancing Pill formula and studied it carefully once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming he had made no mistakes, Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes tightly and began to recall in his mind every detail of the alchemical process he had observed with his spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immersed in the previous alchemical process, he deeply contemplated his refining technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the refining process replay in his mind, a sudden realization rose in Ye Qingxuan's heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was too mechanical!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, his method of refining pills was too mechanical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this realization, Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that is how it is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he refined strictly according to the formula, his entire process was too mechanical, lacking a certain kind of variation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If refining pills could succeed simply by strictly following the formula, how could the threshold for alchemists be so high?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A formula can only provide alchemists with a general direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although following every detail of the formula can indeed produce pills, such details only work under identical conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even differences in climate and weather will cause variations in alchemical details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to become a true alchemist, one must comprehend this variation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by gradually comprehending and mastering this variation can one become a true alchemist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mastering this variation, using the formula as a blueprint, adapting to external changes, and changing through change, one can truly become an alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the key to refining high-grade pills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was able to refine the Qi-Attracting Pills earlier was simply because the Qi-Attracting Pills were too low-grade, with limited variation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Ye Qingxuan could successfully refine the Qi-Attracting Pills relying on a mechanical technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Spirit-Enhancing Pills are different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although pills are ranked from first to ninth tier, the Qi-Inducing Pill and the Spirit-Enhancing Pill are both first-tier pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet pills of the same tier are further subdivided; each tier can be split into Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Supreme Grade—these four grades!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi-Inducing Pill, under this subdivision, counts only as a Lower Grade first-tier pill, while the Spirit-Enhancing Pill is a Supreme Grade first-tier pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why Ye Qingxuan discovered the Qi-Inducing Pill flooding the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no other reason: the difficulty of refining a Lower Grade first-tier Qi-Inducing Pill is simply too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, as long as one memorizes the formula and tries a few times, producing a Qi-Inducing Pill is not difficult for many cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, once one becomes a cultivator, the body undergoes comprehensive evolution; everyone's memory is not poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the so-called comprehension geniuses, like Ye Qingxuan, they are merely different from ordinary people in their primordial soul essence, with a massive foundation, so the transformation brought by cultivation is far greater than that of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the fundamental reason why comprehension geniuses can always stay ahead of everyone in comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the gap in cultivation base is too large, no matter how heaven-defying one's comprehension is, a low-tier cultivator cannot compare to a peak expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do they really think the cultivation realm others have worked hard to attain is for nothing? The qualitative change caused by quantitative change is equally extraordinary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After realizing the reason for his failed attempt at refining the Spirit-Enhancing Pill, Ye Qingxuan did not choose to stop refining pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, after sitting in meditation to restore his spiritual power, he immediately reopened the furnace to refine pills again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To truly comprehend and master this change, turning it into one's own instinct, one must constantly perceive it through pill refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on deep, solitary thought makes it impossible to master this change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for the following days, Ye Qingxuan kept trying to refine the Spirit-Enhancing Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although each attempt ended in failure, Ye Qingxuan gained significant insights from every failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the realization in his heart grew stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, Ye Qingxuan finally managed to barely refine his first batch of Spirit-Enhancing Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fourth day, he failed again, but Ye Qingxuan did not feel discouraged; instead, the smile on his face gradually widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fifth day, the refining succeeded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sixth day, the refining succeeded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the seventh day, the refining failed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the ninth day, as a batch of Spirit-Enhancing Pills was successfully refined naturally that day, yielding five pills, Ye Qingxuan finally completely mastered this change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, for the rest of the time, Ye Qingxuan never failed again when refining the Spirit-Enhancing Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as Ye Qingxuan's proficiency increased, the number of pills produced also gradually rose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Spirit-Enhancing Pill is, after all, a Supreme Grade first-tier pill; with Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base, the spiritual power consumed to refine one batch was truly too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to avoid affecting his own cultivation, in the days that followed, Ye Qingxuan would refine only one batch of Spirit-Enhancing Pills per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the number of Spirit-Enhancing Pills refined by Ye Qingxuan increased, his cultivation resources finally received ample supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the sect had distributed thirty Spirit-Enhancing Pills per month, averaging only one pill per day for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Ye Qingxuan can consume three Spirit-Enhancing Pills per day for cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Spirit-Enhancing Pill can sustain three hours, during which it doubles Ye Qingxuan's cultivation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consuming three Spirit-Enhancing Pills daily increased Ye Qingxuan's boosted cultivation time from three hours to nine hours, greatly increasing his cultivation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that Ye Qingxuan did not want to consume more pills, but his body's meridians could not withstand prolonged spiritual energy flushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during the long cultivation sessions, Ye Qingxuan's body and meridians did not gain nothing; their tolerance limit was also gradually increasing!\u003C\u002Fp>",1706,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","f3b66c6b61dcd5011f53ae37b710fd5d6e79ddff546aaedf1298efe8837c1324","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-23","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-21",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
