Hasn’t the pill already formed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, is there something wrong with this Foundation Establishment Pill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their words naturally reached the ears of the Golden Core Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Cang seemed to think this was a good opportunity to educate the younger disciples about alchemy, and his voice rang out in the arena, explaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gathering Spirit is an alchemy step between pill formation and extraction, with two effects. One is to lock the pill’s potency, allowing it to be stored longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other is that it can enhance the efficacy of some specific elixirs after using the Gathering Spirit method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ling Cang’s voice sounded, the others no longer spoke and listened attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Gathering Spirit method was often used by ancient cultivators in alchemy, as there were fewer cultivators and abundant heavenly materials and earthly treasures at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had plenty of elixirs, and some would not be consumed in a short time, so they would use the Gathering Spirit method, often measured over centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for today’s cultivators, some urgently needed elixirs cannot be stored for more than a century.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, everyone roughly inferred that the Gathering Spirit method is now used less frequently, and accordingly, fewer people master it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Ling Cang paused slightly before continuing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for increasing efficacy, only some specific elixirs can achieve this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the enhancement effect is not particularly good, and if used improperly, it might waste the elixir that had initially formed into a pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, very few alchemists use the Gathering Spirit method now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ling Cang’s eyes flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, for an elixir like the Foundation Establishment Pill, using the Gathering Spirit method is suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment is exceptionally subtle, and sometimes it’s just a hair’s breadth difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly insignificant efficacy boost might mean the difference between success and failure for a cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ling Cang’s words, everyone suddenly realized, and the Qi Refining disciples looked at Chu Ning with more eagerness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wanted to see how many Foundation Establishment Pills Chu Ning would produce this time using the Gathering Spirit method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Ling Cang was explaining the effects of the Gathering Spirit, Chu Ning couldn’t hear it because of the restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reasons he used the Gathering Spirit method were indeed partly as Ling Cang described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Spiritual Qi merged into the Pill Furnace and combined with the Foundation Establishment Pill, Chu Ning started the pill extraction process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when he extracted the Purple Gold Pill before, Chu Ning made a virtual palm strike, and several pills flew out of the Alchemy Furnace, floating in a row in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when everyone saw the number of pills, a cry louder than before erupted in the entire arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight pills!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Foundation Establishment Pill formation rate has also reached 90%!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our sect can finally have more Foundation Establishment Pills!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Qi Refining disciples could hardly contain their joy at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all the alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion, whether at the Qi Refining Stage or Foundation Establishment Stage, showed expressions of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment Pills are difficult to refine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is known to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, He Yanmao, as an Intermediate Middle Grade Alchemist, wouldn’t have said his success rate was not high despite many attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Chu Ning had somehow managed to reach a 90% success rate with the Foundation Establishment Pill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was beyond everyone’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even He Yanmao, who had obtained several furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills from Chu Ning during this period, showed a face full of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the number of pills Chu Ning gave him, he always estimated Chu Ning’s success rate to be around 70% to 80%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that Chu Ning would directly produce eight Foundation Establishment Pills this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill formation rate reached 90%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Rongzhang’s expression was not very pleasant at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning had not yet refined the remaining two types of elixirs, but Yuan Rongzhang already had a vague feeling of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just with this Foundation Establishment Pill, Chu Ning’s status within the Alchemy Pavilion wouldn’t be low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, so many people need the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through their realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he definitely can’t refine the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Rongzhang forced himself to suppress that uneasy feeling, comforting himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he feel a bit better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, not showing much of an unusual expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Rongzhang understood Ling Cang’s character very well, knowing that this Golden Core Elder was extremely principled and rule-abiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chu Ning failed in even one aspect today, Yuan Rongzhang was certain Ling Cang would never allow Chu Ning to become this steward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the fervent gazes of the crowd, Chu Ning calmly placed the Foundation Establishment Pills next to the Purple Gold Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began refining the next elixir, the Six Spirits Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, this intermediate middle-grade elixir for Foundation Establishment Cultivators was not as famous as the Foundation Establishment Pill within the Jiuhua Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally, when Chu Ning refined this pill, it didn’t receive as much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were still discussing the Foundation Establishment Pills Chu Ning had just refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Chu Ning produced four Six Spirits Pills,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuqing’s gaze flickered with a trace of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pill was her specialty, with medium difficulty among intermediate middle-grade elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Ning achieving a pill formation success rate exceeding 50% still surprised her greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chu Ning had focused on this one elixir for half a year, it would be understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Ning had also been studying the refining of Purple Gold Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills during these six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Increasing the success rates for those two pills to 90%, and still achieving nearly 60% for the Six Spirits Pill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This truly surprised Su Yuqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The real difficulty of this pill is in extraction and the application of Divine Sense. It seems this Junior Brother Chu’s Divine Sense is probably quite strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuqing thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know that Chu Ning was actually holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Six Spirits Pill requires precise use of Divine Sense, if Chu Ning wanted, he could refine seven pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He regretted that two pills were wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he could use this elixir himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as Chu Ning finished refining the Six Spirits Pill, he, like before, placed them neatly and began purifying the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the arena, everyone was now even more surprised and amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has consecutively refined three types of elixirs, all with high success rates. Could he truly refine all four?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steward Chu is purifying the furnace again. Is he really going to refine the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, doesn’t he need to rest to recover his Magical Power and Divine Sense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ling Cang, Gong Yuyuan, and several other Golden Core Elders showed more respect in their gaze towards Chu Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Yuan Rongzhang, Geng Wansheng, and others had expressions of doubt in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The late-stage Golden Core Elder, Yuan Zhuo, couldn’t help but cast an inquisitive glance at Yuan Rongzhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was a Golden Core Elder, he wasn’t skilled in alchemy and didn’t really understand alchemy techniques like Yuan Rongzhang did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Rongzhang showed a hint of hesitance, but his eyes still held a bit of skepticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he saw the ingredients Chu Ning brought out, his expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wind Spirit Fruit, Nine Dragon Ganoderma... Is he really going to refine the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Yuan Rongzhang couldn’t help but stare fixedly at Chu Ning, his eyes unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were similar, as most in the Jiuhua Sect had heard of the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, very few had actually seen it being refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s known to be extremely difficult to refine, the most challenging among the Jiuhua Sect’s intermediate middle-grade elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, after taking out the spirit medicine, Chu Ning did not rush to put it into the Pill Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he quickly formed several spells with his hands and applied them to the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Ning skillfully casting spells, Yuan Rongzhang, who had been seated, suddenly stood up in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning was currently performing the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill Fire Control Technique, an art Yuan Rongzhang was familiar with!\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-02T10:18:59.779Z",1,"novelbin.me","90fbc2e19c9b5948ba0e6114ef8a97ba5724b70b8962efe563448eaa202f1225","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-430","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-428",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-cover.jpg"]
