Chapter 119: Pill Formed, Three High-Quality Foundation Establishment Pills

Inside the valley, within the Alchemy Room.

A massive alchemy furnace was placed in the center.

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged in front of the furnace, where portions of Spirit Medicine materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill were laid out, along with a Second-tier Demon Core.

He took a deep breath, calming the thoughts in his mind.

Whoosh—

In an instant, Zhou Sui struck, executing the Five Elements Alchemy Formula.

Having reached the Major Achievement realm, the Five Elements Alchemy Formula possessed inconceivable power, having manipulated the power of the five elements to a marvelous degree, almost reaching the realm of subtlety.

First was the power of the metal element; it transformed into sharp little blades, instantly slicing apart each stalk of material, cutting away the harmful parts and leaving the beneficial ones.

Numerous Spirit Medicines were divided into countless fragments, as if instantly cut into countless pieces.

Immediately following was the power of fire; a vast flame began to burn beneath the furnace, the temperature rose, and each stalk of Spirit Medicine began to melt under the power of the flames.

The Spirit Medicines, which were originally difficult to dissolve, were now rapidly melted, turning into drops of Spirit Liquid.

Then came the power of the earth element; it seemed to transform into a thick earthen barrier, forming a wall around the entire furnace, not only isolating the heat but also preventing the evaporation of the Spirit Liquid.

This point was extremely important.

Because when Spirit Medicine melts into Spirit Liquid, the temperature of the flames causes an evaporation effect.

This would also cause three-tenths of the medicinal potency to vanish.

It is entirely imaginable that this is the important reason why refining pills often fails to result in high-quality pills.

It is precisely because a large amount of medicinal liquid evaporates during the alchemy process.

Only by borrowing the power of the earth element to form an earthen barrier can the evaporation of the Spirit Liquid be stopped.

At the same time, this power can also allow the furnace to maintain an appropriate temperature, further saving the energy of the flames.

But this was only the beginning.

The power of the water element also began to merge into it, blending into these Spirit Liquids, and began to separate the impurities within the Spirit Liquid.

Countless Spirit Liquids seemed to form a vortex, generating a massive vortex force.

Due to the effect of centripetal force, a large amount of Spirit Medicine impurities were flung out, slamming hard against the walls of the furnace.

Finally, there was the power of the wood element; this was the power of life, the power of Spirit Medicine, which seemed to make the countless Spirit Liquids fuse together completely, as they were drawn together.

It could even compensate for the damaged medicinal potency of the Spirit Liquid, making the medicinal potency become incomparably gentle.

This was the neutralizing power of the Spirit Liquid.

"Incredible, is this the Five Elements Alchemy Formula?!"

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes, revealing an excited glow.

After he used the power of the Book Gu to cultivate the Five Elements Alchemy Formula to the Major Achievement realm, he immediately discovered that his alchemy techniques had reached a higher level.

The perfect coordination of the five elements' power made every alchemy session reach a near-perfect state.

Whether it was the fusion of Spirit Medicines, the exclusion of impurities, or the blending of Spirit Liquids, and so on.

The power of the five elements was mutually reinforcing.

This was countless times better than simple tempering with Spirit Fire.

Without a doubt, this was absolutely a top-tier alchemy technique with infinite marvelous uses.

Of course, for an ordinary person to cultivate the Five Elements Alchemy Formula to the Major Achievement realm, without hundreds of years of alchemy experience and astonishing talent, it would be impossible to succeed.

However, he was different; with the power of the Book Gu, he could be in a state of epiphany at any moment.

In this way, his cultivation efficiency was over a hundred times that of other Alchemists.

"No wonder refining Foundation Establishment Pills using a Second-tier Demon Core fails so quickly; there are simply too many impurities inside."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

When he used the Five Elements Alchemy Formula to refine the Second-tier Demon Core, he immediately understood why the Second-tier Demon Core could be the main ingredient for a Foundation Establishment Pill, yet it could never compare to the Golden Jade Immortal Plant.

It was precisely because there were too many impurities inside the Second-tier Demon Core, containing a great deal of demonic nature and demonic power.

If an Alchemist could not expel these impurities from the Demon Core, then the alchemy would inevitably fail.

Even if it succeeded, it would only be an inferior Foundation Establishment Pill.

Of course, there was a reason why the Second-tier Demon Core could become a main ingredient.

The most important reason was naturally that it contained all the energy required by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, such as blood, Soul, and Dharma Power, which could help a Qi Refining Cultivator simultaneously elevate the power of their essence, energy, and spirit.

As long as these impurities were stripped from the Second-tier Demon Core, its essence was actually not much different from the Golden Jade Immortal Plant.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the Five Elements Alchemy Formula to the Major Achievement realm.

Therefore, stripping the impurities from the Second-tier Demon Core was not a difficult task.

Rumble~~~

In an instant, each stalk of Spirit Medicine began to melt in the furnace, and under Zhou Sui's massive divine sense, all impurities were thoroughly expelled, leaving only the essence of the Spirit Liquid.

Whoosh—

As time passed, the impurities were slowly expelled, and in the end, only the essence of the Spirit Liquid remained.

Under the power of the five elements, these Spirit Liquids began to gather together.

Boom~~

This alchemy session lasted for a full day and night; Zhou Sui was fully focused, without any slackening.

Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the furnace, soaring straight into the clouds.

It illuminated the entire Alchemy Room.

At the same time, a rich, extreme fragrance of medicinal pills drifted throughout the entire Alchemy Room.

No, it was not just the Alchemy Room; it spread throughout the entire valley.

Basically, everyone staying in the valley could sense this scent, which made one's mouth water.

It was as if every cell in his entire body was cheering.

"Haha, it's done, finally succeeded."

"Succeeded in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill on the first try, and it's even three Foundation Establishment Pills."

Zhou Sui laughed heartily, feeling very joyful.

He looked at the three golden, round Foundation Establishment Pills that had appeared inside the alchemy furnace, excited beyond measure.

To tell the truth, he had spent so much time and effort, and finally, he had succeeded in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

If the outside world knew about this, they would definitely be incredibly crazy.

Producing three pills in one go is basically the limit for an Alchemist.

Even veteran Alchemists would not dare to say they could achieve this.

But Zhou Sui succeeded on his first attempt, which can be called incredibly rare.

"Husband, did you succeed? Did you successfully refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

At this moment, the three women, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan, also came upon hearing the sound, arriving at the alchemy room.

They had been waiting outside nervously for the result of this Alchemy session the whole time.

Before, they didn't even dare to breathe a word, fearing it would affect Zhou Sui's success rate in Alchemy.

But now, hearing Zhou Sui's words, they all rushed into the alchemy room impatiently.

They all looked at their husband with pleasant surprise.

"Of course, who do you think your husband is? Naturally, it was a piece of cake."

"The Foundation Establishment Pill is refined, and there are three Fine Foundation Establishment Pills."

Zhou Sui said triumphantly.
