Chapter 102: Self-Created Pill Formula

There were not many people left on the dragon boat at this time. Including Long Lie and the two law enforcers, there were only seven people on the ship in total. Standing on the ship, it was truly a bit empty.

Thinking of the full ship when they came, but only seven people left when they returned, everyone's mood was a bit heavy, and they were silent.

Long Xuan wasn't familiar with the people on the ship, so he wasn't sad, just a bit sighing.

He walked to the bow of the ship, came to the position where Long Lie was standing, and whispered: "I helped you win seven superior strange Gu. Why don't you give me that top-quality spirit silkworm quickly."

Until now, he was still thinking about that top-quality spirit silkworm. Taking the risk to help Long Lie win the bet could be said to be entirely because of this top-quality spirit silkworm.

He had already decided that his next Gu insect would be a silkworm-type Gu insect, and the main material for a top-quality Gu insect must be a top-quality spirit insect. This top-quality spirit silkworm was truly too important to him; he had to take this top-quality spirit silkworm down.

Whether he could research the legendary Soul Armor, the hope could all be on this top-quality spirit silkworm.

Upon hearing this, Long Lie smiled and said: "I knew you were interested in this top-quality spirit silkworm. This is a ten-thousand-year ice silkworm, a famous breed among silkworms, and it's truly rare."

"It's a pity that there is no Gu formula for this kind of spirit insect in the clan, otherwise I would definitely use it to refine a top-quality Gu insect. How could it be cheap for you?"

Saying this, Long Lie took out the ten-thousand-year ice silkworm from the insect-breeding bag and secretly handed it to Long Xuan.

Long Xuan didn't have time to look carefully, quickly put it into his own insect-breeding bag, and then handed a storage bag to Long Lie.

"The spicy wine I prepared for you is enough to refine Gu thirty times. Are you sure you can refine Gu using only spicy wine?" Long Xuan asked curiously again.

He used the four-flavored wine of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy to refine Little White.

He didn't know if he could refine Gu using only spicy wine. However, presumably, even if he could refine Gu, the combat power of the refined top-quality Gu insect would definitely be far inferior to Little White.

"Wine Gu is considered a general Gu formula. Any single wine can be refined into Wine Gu. You can put one hundred hearts at ease."

"I have a premonition that the Wine Gu refined with your spicy wine will definitely not be simple. It might be able to become my main force."

Long Lie looked at the spicy wine in the storage bag, his eyes instantly shining like searchlights, his breathing rapid, swallowing saliva incessantly.

He forcibly resisted the urge to take a sip, moved his gaze away with difficulty, and closed the storage bag again.

This was wine used to refine Wine Gu; it absolutely couldn't be drunk. His willpower ultimately overcame his appetite.

For a drunkard who loved wine like his life, seeing good wine but not being able to drink it was definitely a huge test for his willpower.

After the two secretly completed the transaction, the dragon boat fell into silence again. Half a day later, the dragon boat finally arrived over the Long family, and then slowly landed at the training ground position. Long Lie put away the dragon boat and hurriedly went to report to the family head.

The others looked at each other, and then each returned to their own homes. After Long Xuan greeted his senior sister, he returned to Xiaoqiong Peak.

... In a thatched cottage on Xiaoqiong Peak, Long Lao quietly looked at Long Xuan and said calmly: "I wrote to Ziyan asking her to look after you. I'm not surprised that you could come back alive."

"But it really surprises me that you could snatch food from the tiger's mouth and obtain one hundred and ninety Spirit-Charging Grasses in front of two Gu King avatars. How on earth did you do it?"

Long Xuan said casually: "I don't have the ability to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. At that time, it was just one of my clones that went to the medicine garden, hiding in the medicine garden and pretending to be dead, so I luckily escaped a disaster."

"Afterward, after those two Gu King avatars left, I went in again and traded with that rabbit, and then exchanged for one hundred and ninety Spirit-Charging Grasses."

"However, the Female Emperor suddenly resurrected and took away all the treasures in the tomb. That rabbit is clearly not a mortal object and might have been taken away by her as well. It's probably impossible for you to bring treasures in to trade for Spirit-Charging Grasses with that rabbit again."

This was Long Xuan's explanation to the clan. Whoever came to interrogate him, he would say so. It wasn't interrogating a criminal; the clan really wouldn't use the Honesty Gu to interrogate him.

However, he ultimately didn't dare to tell him what happened with Long Ziyan, fearing that he would be beaten to death. Long Xuan inexplicably had a feeling of guilt.

"That's a pity." Long Lao sighed: "The heaven and earth spiritual power is becoming increasingly thin, which led to the gradual extinction of Spirit-Charging Grass. Now that the heaven and earth spiritual power concentration is not enough, Spirit-Charging Grass simply cannot be transplanted alive."

"That rabbit was taken away by the Female Emperor again. One hundred and ninety Spirit-Charging Grasses will probably become the only quantity for the clan. No, according to the regulations, thirty percent must be divided to you, so the clan will only have one hundred and thirty-three Spirit-Charging Grasses left."

"I don't know how many Marrow Cleansing Stage experts this quantity of Spirit-Charging Grass can cultivate for the clan."

"You now have fifty-seven Spirit-Charging Grasses in your hand. I only know that the Ten Extremes Body is more difficult to break through than the same rank, but I don't know exactly how difficult it is. The quantitative change of the same kind of breakthrough object cannot trigger a qualitative change. Whether fifty-seven Spirit-Charging Grasses can make you break through is really hard to say."

"Let's try it for now. You prepare to try to break through now. I'll lend you this array disk first. With the array disk, you don't have to worry about being disturbed by others."

Long Lao rummaged through his storage bag and handed three array flags to Long Xuan.

After all, Xiaoqiong Peak currently has no mountain-protecting great formation to protect it, and others can enter and exit at will, and use soul perception to perceive the situation inside.

If one doesn't use an array formation for protection, there is simply no way to break through safely in this place. In case that not-so-smart Long Lie rushes in to disturb, then one will go into qi deviation.

Long Xuan thought, this cheap master is finally a bit useful. He took the three array flags with both hands, but after just glancing at them, his expression froze, and the thought just now disappeared instantly.

This array disk is simply too trashy. Compared to his Ice Cold Great Array, it is far behind and simply cannot be compared.

This array disk is a sieve in his eyes, full of loopholes. Who can this defend against?

The array flags are actually broken with several big holes. Can the barrier raised by this array disk be blown down by Long Lie with a sneeze?

It's also true, Long Lao is poor and owes a lot of debt. How could he afford a more powerful array disk? He ultimately thought too much.

However, having it is better than nothing, so let's make do with it for now. This kind of array formation certainly won't work outside, but placed here, no one should run over to break the array of the same clan.

As for running out to hide in the Ice Cold Great Array to break through, Long Xuan gave up this thought as soon as he thought about it.

He had just offended Feng Yu, so how could he dare to run out at this time.

Although there is no deep hatred between the two, the possibility of him lowering his status to come and kill him because of the gambling game is extremely low. He is very likely worrying about nothing.

But he has always been cautious, and even if there is only a 0.1% risk, he will never take the risk.

So he should honestly break through on Xiaoqiong Peak.

What's more, various clans have just experienced a big melee, and I don't know how many people will die. I don't know what kind of storm this matter will eventually turn into, and I don't know if it will trigger a war because of this. In a situation where things are unclear, it's better not to run around outside.

Since Long Lao needs to refine pills to pay off debts, the two didn't chat for long. After Long Xuan said goodbye, he immediately started preparing for the work of breaking through the Marrow Cleansing Stage.

The foundation of the Ten Extremes Body is too strong, leading to a breakthrough difficulty greater than ordinary people. Whether this Spirit-Charging Grass can make him break through is really not certain.

For the sake of insurance, Long Xuan still prepared to use Spirit-Charging Grass as the main material and self-create a pill formula.

Spirit-Charging Grass can have a twenty percent breakthrough rate even if eaten raw. Once refined into a pill, the medicinal effect will probably increase by many times. The breakthrough rate might be sixty percent, or it might be eighty percent.

At that time, the Spirit-Charging Pill formula he self-created might become the most powerful spirit pill among similar spirit pills. Only by eating such a spirit pill will his breakthrough possibility be the greatest, and it is also the most secure approach.

As long as one is proficient in pharmacology, self-creating a pill formula is much easier than self-creating a Gu formula. It won't take him too much time, not to mention that this is just the lowest-grade first-grade pill formula, and the pharmacology is not complicated.

Thus, Long Xuan inserted the array flags at his residence on Xiaoqiong Peak and started the great cause of self-creating the Spirit-Charging Pill formula.

Half a month later, a Spirit-Charging Pill formula with thirty-six materials was placed on the table. He waved his big brush and wrote the three big characters "Long Xuan ◎ Zhe".

This pill formula is very special. Don't look at the materials being surprisingly few, but the word count is truly not small.

Each material on it is even precisely marked with how many grams, what temperature is needed when refining spirit medicine, and even the time for each step and link he has to be precise to the second, strict to the extreme.

He even self-created a unit of measurement for the size of soul power, called one Xuan force, two Xuan force...

No one's pill formula is written as complex as his, but it is precisely because of this rigor of his that his success rate of refining pills is surprisingly high.

In his view, refining pills is not a matter of luck at all. There must be a reason for the failure of refining pills, and failure cannot be attributed to luck.

And as long as every link of refining pills is done to a perfect degree, then there will be no possibility of failure in refining pills. Even without the assistance of a golden finger, a one hundred percent pill success rate is not difficult.

After he appreciated his knowledge achievements again, he contentedly put this pill formula into that small box, and then immediately set off to collect the materials on the pill formula.

It's just thirty-six materials, and they are all first-grade spirit medicines. He won't take long to collect them all.

He is quite satisfied with the Spirit-Charging Pill he self-created. If the breakthrough success rate of the Spirit Gathering Pill is ten percent, then his Spirit-Charging Pill breakthrough rate is ninety percent.

Using his Spirit-Charging Pill to rush the pass, even a sow can break through. He really doesn't believe that a spirit pill with such fierce medicinal power can't break open the rock of the Ten Extremes Body.

Among all spirit pills that assist Spirit Gathering peak to break through the Marrow Cleansing Stage, his Spirit-Charging Pill can be called the word "first". Among similar pills, no medicine can compare.

Once his Spirit-Charging Pill is born, it is enough to shock the whole world and cause a sensation in the entire alchemy world.

But Long Xuan has always been low-key and is unwilling to do that kind of too eye-catching thing, so such a heaven-defying spirit pill can only be enjoyed by himself, and he has no intention of spreading it out at all.

Perhaps only when he becomes a big shot one day, or is ready to spread his inheritance, will there be a day when this pill formula appears in the world.

Although every material on the pill formula is very expensive, as long as there is contribution, anything can be exchanged in the Long family's Treasure Pavilion. Long Xuan only went once and came back, and collected all the materials on the pill formula.

After the materials were collected, he didn't delay anymore and immediately started the furnace to refine pills.

It's just thirty-six materials, and it won't waste him much time at all. Long Xuan hadn't enjoyed himself yet, and a furnace of Spirit-Charging Pills had already been refined successfully by him.

He couldn't wait to open the alchemy furnace and saw the three golden pills inside, revealing a look of slight dissatisfaction.

This kind of pill formula actually only has three pills, which is really too few.

You know, the full pill count of the Hundred Flowers Pill is a full eighty-one.

However, it's no wonder. After all, the pill quality is different. The Spirit-Charging Pill formula only has thirty-six kinds of materials. Mass is conserved, so the number of spirit pills refined naturally won't be many.

Possessing the Ten Extremes Body with relatively high breakthrough difficulty, Long Xuan felt that three Spirit-Charging Pills were not very certain, so he put away the spirit pills, put the three Spirit-Charging Pills into a pill bottle, and continued to try to refine Spirit-Charging Pills.

He has plenty of Spirit-Charging Grass now. Not to mention the thirty percent of Spirit-Charging Grass returned to him by the clan, he still has more than one hundred Spirit-Charging Grasses that he greedily kept, and he didn't hand them over to the clan.

With so many Spirit-Charging Grasses, he has only used one now, so he can squander them however he wants.

Soon another period of time passed, and he still maintained that 100% heaven-defying success rate. A furnace of full pills was successful again.

You know, the Spirit-Charging Pill is a newly created pill quality. He is trying to refine it for the first time, and he is neither familiar nor skilled. However, he can still maintain a one hundred percent pill success rate. Such a terrifying pill success rate would probably shock anyone who saw it.

However, this was not the end. After Long Xuan refined the second furnace of Spirit-Charging Pills, he actually didn't stop. He refined a full five furnaces of Spirit-Charging Pills before stopping.

The full pill count of each furnace of Spirit-Charging Pills is three, and his pill yield rate is also one hundred percent. That is to say, he already has a full fifteen Spirit-Charging Pills in his hand at this time.

He has always been cautious. Even if the medicinal power of the Spirit-Charging Pill is already very huge, he still chooses to prepare fourteen more.

Breaking through this kind of thing must be done in one go. Once, twice, and then exhausted. Breaking through in one breath is the best. Trying once every few days will lead to failure every time.

Long Xuan intends to either not break through, or succeed in one go, so for the sake of insurance, he prepared a full fifteen Spirit-Charging Pills.

He feels that at this time, even if he is the Ten Extremes Body with relatively high breakthrough difficulty, under such preparation, his breakthrough success rate should also be one hundred percent.

This promotion to Marrow Cleansing Stage Gu cultivator will surely be successful in one fell swoop. Long Xuan clenched his fists, feeling excited, quickly adjusted his state, and officially prepared to try to break through.
