Chapter 419: Infant-Nurturing Pill Formed!

Inside the alchemy room, the cyan Fire Phoenix Poison Flame constantly changed temperature under Qin Ming's manipulation.

After everything was ready, Qin Ming started refining pills again.

He pointed his finger, and the more than one hundred rare auxiliary materials in the air before him began to float and circulate around the five main materials for refining the Infant-Nurturing Pill.

The Infant-Nurturing Pill formula and the principles of refining the pill had already been firmly remembered in his mind, and he had deduced them countless times.

Any one of these spirit materials could cause Nascent Soul old monsters to fight for them.

Especially the five main materials, which were rarely seen outside, except for those controlled by forces above the Nascent Soul level.

Qin Ming had also spent a great deal of effort to gather them completely.

It was only with the help of Su Su Yuqing and Hua Hua Tianxiong in searching that he managed to gather them; if it were just him alone, he wouldn't know when he would have succeeded.

Even in the ancient immortal realm, without the top resources of a sect, Daoist inheritance, or the care of Nascent Soul elders, it was almost impossible for a loose cultivator Core Formation cultivator without background or backing to independently gather these opportunities for condensing the Infant.

Yet Qin Ming had done it, even the 【Infant-Nurturing Pill Formula】 was something he had planted himself.

He, a dignified Core Formation perfection great cultivator, was farming every day.

It could be said that it had cost him countless efforts and sweat. "This Infant-Nurturing Pill is not an ordinary Tier 4 pill; it is one of the top-tier spirit pills in the immortal realm."

"This pill condenses the creation of the Great Dao and can cause a Core Formation cultivator to shatter the Core and form the Infant, taking that crucial step."

"Its difficulty coefficient can be called the highest in my history of medicine refining."

"In the entire immortal realm, the number of alchemists who can successfully refine this pill can be counted on one's fingers."

"Among Nascent Soul sects, most of them rely on the Infant-Nurturing Pills inherited from ancient times..."

"Nowadays, the alchemists who can refine this pill can almost be ignored."

Qin Ming's massive spiritual sense controlled hundreds of spirit materials, and then according to the method, he extracted the medicinal embryos from the spirit materials.

Boom! The temperature in the alchemy room rose suddenly, and a wave of astonishing heat hit his face.

The current Devouring Spirit Poison Flame, as a Tier 3 supreme-grade heaven and earth spirit fire, could barely support the refining of the Tier 4 Infant-Nurturing Pill.

After several days of heat control, all the medicinal embryos in the spirit materials were stripped away by Qin Ming.

After a long time, a group of flowing light and colorful medicinal liquid, emitting astonishing spiritual aura, appeared before Qin Ming's eyes.

Up to now, everything was very successful.

With the feel of refining the Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill earlier, several key points that were originally quite difficult were all passed by him smoothly.

When the medicine refining reached this step, it was considered relatively smooth.

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed, and he continued to refine, the Four Seasons Divine Light in his hands falling into the pill furnace bit by bit, starting the pill condensation step.

Pfft! A muffled sound came from the Wind-Thunder Cauldron, followed by black smoke, clearly the first refining had failed.

Qin Ming's face was as calm as water, and his heart didn't change much.

After all, the Infant-Nurturing Pill was not so easy to refine successfully in one go. According to the introduction on the pill formula, even Tier 4 supreme-grade Alchemy Kings of the ancient era often overturned their carts when refining this pill.

It was just that wasting a portion of spirit materials made Qin Ming feel quite pained.

These top-tier spirit materials of the immortal realm were all hard to come by.

Fortunately, his reserves were considered sufficient.

After Qin Ming cleaned the pill furnace, he raised his hand to summon the medicinal dregs in the pill furnace and checked them carefully, finding that he couldn't see anything at all; they had all turned into pill poison.

Immediately after.

Qin Ming summarized the failure experience from last time and started the second refining again.

This cycle repeated...

Time passed slowly, day after day.

Two months later.

Qin Ming walked out of the alchemy room with a depressed face, preparing to come out for some air and change his mood.

"Where exactly did the problem go?"

"Why, when condensing the pill, is it always a bit off?"

"The Infant-Nurturing Pill formula that Su Su Yuqing realized and cracked should be no problem..."

"It's truly strange."

Qin Ming paced slowly in the Small Spirit Realm, his brows tightly furrowed, thinking about the key to the alchemy problem.

A moment later.

He walked to the lakeside in the center of the Small Spirit Realm and saw the Heaven-Devouring Rat holding a bamboo pole, tinkering with something.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat saw Qin Ming walking over and stood up with a start, saying with a smile:

"Master, you've come out of seclusion? Has the spirit pill been refined?"

"Not yet, just a bit off. What are you doing?" Qin Ming shook his head.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat held up the bamboo pole in its hand, "Recently, having nothing to do, I've been fishing for clams."

"Fishing for clams?" Qin Ming was puzzled.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat explained mysteriously with a proud face: "Recently, I discovered a kind of spirit clam in the lake, which actually contains precious pearls. Although they have no spiritual energy, they are even beautiful, and at night they even emit seven-colored light."

"I'm preparing to collect some, so that when I see the Little Silver Fox next time, I can use it as a greeting gift, hehehe."

Qin Ming was speechless after hearing this. He didn't expect this guy to still be thinking about the Little Silver Fox... "Yo!"

"This great master has been waiting for several days, and it's finally hooked!"

While speaking, the Heaven-Devouring Rat's eyes lit up, revealing excitement, and it pulled hard with the bamboo pole in its hand.

A big clam was fished ashore by it.

Immediately, it opened the clam shell excitedly and took a look. Inside, it actually contained a crystal-clear mysterious pearl, emitting charming light, which was truly beautiful! Qin Ming watched this scene.

In the dark, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind! In an instant.

He recalled an inconspicuous sentence in the "Source Dao Alchemy Classic," which was marked in the corner by Su Su Yuqing.

"Old clam contains a pearl and the pearl is formed, all because the spirit and energy do not disperse!"

"Water should not be dry, fire should not be cold, prevent micro-gradual, regulate the center, bathe and warm."

For a time, Qin Ming suddenly understood something and finally understood why he had always fallen short of success during the pill condensation step.

"So it is that after the medicinal liquid is shaped, it needs to be steamed and warmed for a long time, so that the essences in the many spirit materials can be thoroughly condensed and mixed into one."

"I was too anxious before."

"Hahaha! So that's it!"

He clapped his hands and laughed.

Qin Ming understood the key to it, and his mood was incredibly cheerful. He touched the Heaven-Devouring Rat's head, "You have done a great service, this wine is your reward."

After throwing a jar of spirit wine to the Heaven-Devouring Rat, he plunged into the alchemy room again and started refining the Infant-Nurturing Pill.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat didn't understand, still holding a jar of Demon Flame Wine and a big clam, standing blankly in place.

Inside the alchemy room, Qin Ming discarded all distracting thoughts.

With a realization, this time he refined it even more smoothly.

After about a month, Qin Ming completed the previous alchemy steps and successfully fused the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace, completing the pill condensation and shaping.

Immediately, he turned down the heat of the Devouring Spirit Poison Flame and started the long process of steaming and warming with a gentle fire.

Two months later.

Qin Ming's spiritual sense stirred, sensing that the pill condensation step had been successful.

He hurriedly channeled the pill technique, cooking and refining fiercely. A mysterious pearl, stored for a long time, the spirit pill gradually grew larger, colored like a golden orange, and descended into the center of the pill furnace.

Inside the pill tripod, the mysterious pearl was formed.

Borrowing the Four Seasons Divine Light externally, gathering the Devouring Spirit Poison Flame internally, and performing the Mao-You cycle to collect it.

Hum~ A burst of immortal music sounded from Qin Ming's alchemy room, and there was also the rhyme of bells and drums.

Above the pill furnace, an aura of Great Dao creation suddenly appeared!

The next instant.

This aura of Great Dao spiritual essence rushed out of the cave dwelling, forming a scene of immortal palaces and pavilions in the sky above the Small Spirit Realm, with immortal women dancing and singing, ribbons flying, and various pipes and flutes playing, the immortal music lingering endlessly.

Such a heaven and earth phenomenon that shocked the heart appeared in the world.

It also attracted the three spirit beasts in the Small Spirit Realm, and they all stared blankly at the sky. "It's done, it's refined again!"

"This momentum, this phenomenon, good fellow! Master has refined what kind of immortal pill?"

It looked at the sky, already forgetting that the bamboo pole in its hand had been washed away by the water. Inside the cave dwelling, Qin Ming's face showed excitement, and he raised his hand to summon. A golden-orange spirit pill, with a full fourteen Dao patterns, emitting the aura of Great Dao creation, fell into his palm.

"This is the Infant-Nurturing Pill that countless Core Formation cultivators dream of!"

The heart-refreshing pill fragrance rushed into Qin Ming's nose and mouth, making his spirit shake! He had tossed about in Dajin for so long, wasn't he waiting for this moment?

The refining of the Infant-Nurturing Pill meant that the road to the Nascent Soul was now open to him.

Now, Qin Ming had already obtained the two spirit pills for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although only one pill was successfully refined in the end, his confidence in breaking through the realm this time was still not small.

First, he possessed a flawless Core, which came with a twenty percent success rate.

Second, the Qingdi Wood Emperor Holy Body had also been cultivated to small success, and the efficiency of absorbing and converting spiritual energy would be extremely high.

Third, plus the great help of his natal spirit plant, the Yin-Yang Qing Xuan Vine, it was basically stable.

"The Infant-Nurturing Spirit Pill and the spirit pill to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation are both here."

"Next, is to refine the magic treasure to overcome the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation."

However, according to what Qin Ming learned from Yue Yue Lingyan, the power of the human Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was also incredibly terrifying.

Ordinary magic treasures couldn't withstand it at all, and with the slightest mistake, they would instantly turn into fly ash under the heavenly might.

One had to be cautious! And as the cultivator's talent became higher, the easier it was to be envied by heaven.

Therefore, depending on the different talents of the cultivators, the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation they had to face was also different.

The cultivator's Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was not just the previous thunder tribulation, but also had to face four types of natural disasters: earth, wind, water, and fire.

Even the most ordinary Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation would descend with a full thirty-six heavenly tribulations.

Without some life-saving, body-protecting, and tribulation-resolving magic treasures and means, it was difficult to survive such a tribulation.

Not to mention the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, or even the legendary Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, which required a total of eighty-one heavenly tribulations... Qin Ming had already thought it over carefully. With his current aptitude and talent, plus the existence of the entry golden finger.

At the very least, he had to be prepared to overcome the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, just in case.

"Alas! I didn't expect that I was already so excellent, and I have to start worrying about what kind of heavenly tribulation to overcome."

However, he had many top-tier magic treasures, and they were all being nourished within his natal spirit plant, the Yin-Yang Qing Xuan Vine.

He had already prepared to upgrade that Blood Pagoda pseudo-spirit treasure into a true Tier 4 spirit treasure.

In this way, it would be completely foolproof.

Qin Ming sighed with emotion, then sealed the Infant-Nurturing Pill in his hand into a jade bottle and put it into his storage bag.

Inside the storage bag.

Old Demon Qingyang found that there had been no movement outside for several months, and couldn't help but be complacent and mock: "Hehehe! Kid, if you don't listen to the old man, you'll suffer."

"It seems that being able to refine the 'Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill' was just your good luck."

"But this Infant-Nurturing Pill is different. Without old man's guidance, it's impossible to refine it successfully just by luck."

"Hehehe!"

Old Demon Qingyang had already started imagining the scene where Qin Ming, this kid, would be humble and come to beg him for alchemy experience.

But before he could finish laughing, his face froze instantly.

Clatter! Inside the storage bag, another exquisite jade bottle was thrown in. Old Demon Qingyang just looked at it with a suspicious expression, then sensed the pill aura inside the bottle.

He widened his eyes instantly, unable to believe it, and exclaimed:

"Infant-Nurturing Pill?!"

He knew that even if he were in his prime and personally refined the Infant-Nurturing Pill, it wouldn't be refined in a year or a half.

The failure rate was also surprisingly high.

"If old man remembers correctly, this kid is refining the Infant-Nurturing Pill for the first time, right?"

"This... this kid must be some old immortal reincarnated! Otherwise, how could it be like this?"

Having his cognition shattered one after another, Old Demon Qingyang's thoughts became even firmer.

"However, so what if you have the Infant-Nurturing Pill?"

"Old man admits that your alchemy attainments are indeed very high, but without something to save your life and overcome the heavenly tribulation, everything is just a floating cloud."

"I don't believe it..."

However, the next moment.

In Old Demon Qingyang's shocked expression.

Qin Ming took out a source demon bead emitting rich demonic energy from the depths of his storage bag.

"Source demonic energy..." Old Demon Qingyang could no longer remain calm.

He hurriedly shouted at Qin Ming: "Fellow Daoist Qin!! Please give old man a chance to speak!"

"Could it be that you are preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Please allow old man to say one word."

Qin Ming heard this and his brows twitched. After a little consideration, he still took out the wooden box containing his spiritual body and threw it to the ground.

"What else do you have to say?"

Old Demon Qingyang laughed dryly: "Fellow Daoist Qin, old man just saw that you have a source demon bead in your hand, which contains a strand of source demonic energy. That is an extremely rare thing in the world!"

"Old man observes that your physical body's blood energy is incredibly full, and your body refining is so domineering that it even surpasses that of a Tier 4 transformed great demon."

"But under the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, even if you have this level of physical body strength, you might not be able to withstand it."

"But if Fellow Daoist Qin possesses this strand of source demonic energy, it would be different. If combined with your body refining technique, it might be able to help your physical body reach the realm of great success."

"Even resisting the heavenly tribulation with your physical body is not impossible..."

"Haha! If Fellow Daoist Qin needs demon path body refining techniques, old man has several types of high-power demon techniques that can be provided for your reference and study."

When Qin Ming heard this, not only was he not angry, but he somewhat agreed with the old ghost's point of view.

Because he had also been considering this matter and had been deliberating on its feasibility.

However, this was only when he was forced to the end that Qin Ming would consider doing so.

Now that he had many trump cards, he didn't need to take risks for the time being. If he practiced demon techniques and went into qi deviation and lost control, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

"You have some truth in what you say, let me consider it again."

Old Demon Qingyang said flatteringly: "Hehehe! Fellow Daoist Qin is a person of great luck. In old man's view, condensing the Infant is only a matter of time. If there is anything you need old man for, just speak."

"Old man is always at Fellow Daoist Qin's command."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat on the side looked at the conversation between the two, its gaze flickering, and a sense of inexplicable crisis suddenly arose.

Qin Ming took out the Tier 4 alchemy legacy "Magic Craftsmanship" from the source demon bead and began to study it.

He was preparing to use that Tier 4 demon pill of the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint to thoroughly upgrade the Blood Pagoda pseudo-spirit treasure to the Tier 4 spirit treasure level.

Old Demon Qingyang saw that Qin Ming even possessed a Tier 4 demon pill, and was silent for a long time.

After Qin Ming returned to the cave dwelling.

Inside the Small Spirit Realm.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat took out the black steel fork, narrowed its eyes, and walked to Old Demon Qingyang, kicking the wooden box away, causing it to roll far away.

Instantly, Old Demon Qingyang inside was shaken until he was dizzy.

"Rat generation! What is your meaning?!" Old Demon Qingyang cursed in anger.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat knocked on the wooden box with the black steel fork in its hand and questioned sinisterly:

"Hmph! Old fellow!"

"Are you trying to compete for favor with this great master as soon as you arrive?"

"No way! Don't look at who came first and who came last."

"This great master warns you once, if you old fellow dare to talk too much in the future, be careful that I make your soul fly away and scatter!"

Afterward, the Heaven-Devouring Rat even peed on the wooden box and then left satisfied.

"..."

Old Demon Qingyang in the wooden box was tearless, and couldn't help but sigh miserably: "The dragon lies in the shallow beach and is teased by shrimp, the tiger falls in the flat sun and is bullied by dogs!"
