Chapter 475: Seven Pills from Two Furnaces

After successfully refining one furnace of Vein-Protecting Pills, Su Fan refined another. This time, not only did he save two days in time, but he also refined six pills. The cost of the two furnaces was nearly 20,000, and he obtained eleven Vein-Protecting Pills, which was already quite good. If it were other third-tier high-grade spirit pills, it would definitely be a huge profit.

After all, other third-tier high-grade spirit pills were at least 3,000 each, perhaps not as good as the Foundation Establishment Pill, but still very good.

However, the Vein-Protecting Pill was different because its demand was too low, so naturally, the price was not high—800 each, barely reaching the level of a top-tier second-tier high-grade spirit pill.

However, Su Fan didn't care about profit. These eleven Vein-Protecting Pills were prepared for those Elders, especially Elders like Su Shaoquan who were over sixty years old. They had dedicated their energy to the family all their lives.

Letting them take the Foundation Establishment Pill, they absolutely wouldn't be willing. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they were more willing to leave the Foundation Establishment Pill to those ninth-layer Qi Refining family disciples under sixty.

Su Fan giving the Vein-Protecting Pill to these Elders was also in the hope that they would have hope for Foundation Establishment. Even if they didn't succeed once, they could try twice. With the Vein-Protecting Pill, if they failed, at most their meridians would be injured, and they could recover by taking some healing spirit pills.

If these Elders could break through, it would also be a happy event for the Su family.

So no matter how much the Vein-Protecting Pill lost money, Su Fan would continue to refine it.

After refining the Vein-Protecting Pill, Su Fan began to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The difficulty of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was much greater than that of the Vein-Protecting Pill. First, he had to liquefy the third-tier demon beast inner core and then remove the demon qi.

Sometimes, he even had to pay attention to whether there were any remnant souls of the demon beast in the inner core.

Of course, generally there weren't any. After all, the remnant souls in the inner core would probably be melted away quickly in the scorching alchemy furnace.

The key was still removing the demon qi in the inner core.

Different alchemists had their own methods, but all roads led to Rome. The Foundation Establishment Pill formula Su Fan obtained from the Yunyang Sect also had a method, and it was a secret technique summarized by countless alchemists over thousands of years.

The effect was still very good.

Su Fan also continuously optimized it in the Huanyu Realm, making the secret technique for removing the demon qi of the inner core more suitable for Su Fan now.

The first step of liquefying the inner core, with the Ziyang Furnace, which originally required ten days, now only took six days.

Then, removing the demon qi.

Su Fan continuously pinched out techniques, his divine sense surged, and a mass of pill liquid in the Ziyang Furnace rotated at high speed. Every time it rotated, it would throw out wisps of green gas, which was the manifestation of demon qi, and then it was burned to nothing by the scorching flames of the Ziyang Furnace.

This process took a full ten days. Feeling the pure inner core pill liquid, Su Fan nodded with satisfaction and then began to add other spirit herbs, refining them into liquid and fusing them with the inner core pill liquid.

Next was warming this fused pill liquid.

By this step, the Foundation Establishment Pill was actually almost successful. The final pill formation was just to see how many pills could be condensed.

Those with high techniques might be able to condense one more pill.

Of course, the pill formation rate was still related to the removal of impurities in the previous pill liquid. The more removed, the fewer the impurities, and naturally, the more pills formed.

The pill formation technique was just the icing on the cake, but if the pill formation technique was not good, then fewer pills would be formed.

Su Fan's alchemy came from Zixu Shangren, who was a fourth-tier low-grade alchemist, not as good as the Taihe Laozu, but not bad either.

He also had the Evolution Space of the Huanyu Realm, so it could be said that he was better than his master. He had quite a bit of confidence in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Pill formation!

Collecting the pills!

Done in one go. Looking at the three cyan-toned pills floating on the alchemy furnace, a smile appeared on his face.

Although there were only three, it was already quite good.

Refining for the first time, the pill formation rate reached 30%, which was worth celebrating. Of course, compared to the Taihe Laozu and that fourth-tier alchemist of the Yunyang Sect, he was still far behind.

At least the pill formation rate of those two was at least 50% every time they refined pills, and most of the time, they could refine six or seven, and if they were lucky, they could refine eight.

However, Su Fan believed that as long as he was given time, he would soon catch up to them. After all, he was a man who cheated.

Pressing his advantage, after Su Fan washed away the impurities of the Ziyang Furnace, he began a new round of alchemy.

About a month later, the Ziyang Furnace opened. At this time, four Foundation Establishment Pills appeared in the alchemy furnace; his alchemy had improved again.

Refining seven Foundation Establishment Pills in two furnaces, although the pill formation rate was still very low, it was a huge profit.

This one Foundation Establishment Pill was worth 20,000 spirit stones on the market in Zheng State, and seven were equivalent to 140,000 spirit stones.

And the cost of the two furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills was only 70,000 or so.

It was almost enough to earn a piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade.

Of course, Su Fan couldn't sell all these Foundation Establishment Pills. At most, he would take out one or two. The Su family was not as short of spirit stones as before.

With the Clan Head ascending to the Purple Mansion, the Su family's businesses had expanded again, and the spirit stones earned were becoming more and more.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to collect the other spirit herbs for this Foundation Establishment Pill so quickly.

After resting for a period of time, Su Fan refined a few more furnaces of spirit pills, all second-tier high-grade, to be taken with the Foundation Establishment Pill, which could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.

Since the Foundation Establishment Pill was successful, he would definitely give it to the Qi Refining disciples of the family to take, although Su Fan valued those who established Foundation on their own more.

But after all, such people were very few. Even with the Vein-Protecting Pill, the success rate was still very low.

Because the Vein-Protecting Pill only played the role of protecting the meridians and could not increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.

So the success rate of establishing Foundation on one's own was only about 10%. Even if they cultivated the Purple Qi secret technique Su Fan left behind, unless you could reach the third layer, your divine sense would be directly comparable to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, which might increase it by 30% or so.

However, the difficulty of cultivating the Purple Qi secret technique was no less than some divine abilities. Now Su Fan had raised the Innate Purple Qi secret technique to the ninth layer.

Aside from Su Fan, the highest cultivator in the Su family was Clan Head Su Wanjun, who had only barely reached the peak of the fourth layer.

According to Su Fan's division of the Innate Purple Qi secret technique, the first three layers were considered introductory, and the first and second layers still belonged to the mortal level, just like the innate level of the martial arts world.

Only by reaching the third layer could one truly be considered to have cast the foundation of the Dao, breaking through the limits of mortals.

Like the cultivation world, Qi Refining cultivators were still mortals, and only by succeeding in Foundation Establishment could one truly break free from the limits of mortals.

Unfortunately, only three people in the Su family could reach the third layer, and they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Their divine sense had transformed, making it much easier for them to cultivate the first three layers.

As for other Qi Refining cultivators, most were at the first or second layer, and even those at the second layer were very few. ===== CHAPTER 476 =====
