Chapter 345: Fourth-Grade Alchemist

Hua Changxi was attacked by a Spirit Platform stage cultivator, and the injuries she sustained were no longer effective with third-grade pills. She could only use spiritual needles to suppress the injuries, prevent them from worsening, and simply treat the wound on her back.

To treat the injuries, she had to refine fourth-grade pills.

【Third-Grade Alchemist (Top-Grade Pill): Alchemy 9900/9900 furnaces】

Hua Changxi took a look at the alchemy data. Refining 9000 furnaces of third-grade top-grade pills was really not an easy thing. She found time to refine pills in the gaps, and finally saw the hope of upgrading to a fourth-grade alchemist.

However, before starting to refine pills, she first summoned the Shennong Cauldron, and then took out the Night-Shining Cup.

She had always been worried that the Soul River water would be evaporated by the Fusang Divine Tree, and wanted to quickly transfer the Soul River water in the Shennong Cauldron away.

Given the similar material of the Night-Shining Cup and the Shennong Cauldron, and the experience of the Shennong Cauldron absorbing the Soul Crystal completely the first time it came into contact with it, Hua Changxi only dared to pour the Soul River water into the Night-Shining Cup little by little.

If the Night-Shining Cup absorbed all the Soul River water she had collected with such difficulty, she could cry to death.

Fortunately, the Night-Shining Cup was not as massive as the Shennong Cauldron. After absorbing about 1000m3 of Soul River water, it changed from rusty to brand new.

Although there was no divine charm lingering on the cup body like the Shennong Cauldron, it still looked extraordinary.

After injecting Soul River water into it again, the Night-Shining Cup did not absorb it anymore.

Hua Changxi poured all the Soul River water in the Shennong Cauldron into the Night-Shining Cup, and it was only about half a cup. And the entire Night-Shining Cup had an internal space of about m3.

"How many Soul Crystals can 5000m3 of Soul River water condense?"

She had to find a time to use Soul River water to experiment.

One Soul Crystal could replenish ten points of soul power. In this way, she could calculate how much soul power these Soul River waters could provide her.

After transferring the Soul River water, Hua Changxi started to refine third-grade pills. Because she was injured, her alchemy speed was much slower.

According to her previous speed, one hundred furnaces of third-grade pills, day and night, could be refined in a few days, but this time, it took her more than half a month to finish refining.

【Fourth-Grade Alchemist (Low-Grade Pill): Alchemy 0/10 furnaces】

After the data changed, Hua Changxi's mind was stuffed with countless fourth-grade pill recipes, healing, repairing, enhancing strength, breaking through bottlenecks, detoxifying, everything.

Hua Changxi's injuries were mainly the tearing of her physical body. She selected a pill recipe called 'Mother Breath Pill' from the fourth-grade pill recipes to refine.

The Mother Breath Pill focused on physical body remodeling, like returning to the mother's womb, healthy, powerful, and endless.

However, fourth-grade pills were even harder to refine than third-grade pills. At first, Hua Changxi almost exploded a furnace for every furnace she refined. After exploring and refining for another ten days, Hua Changxi finally successfully refined a furnace of middle-grade Mother Breath Pills.

【Fourth-Grade Alchemist (Middle-Grade Pill): Alchemy 11/100 furnaces】

Hua Changxi looked at the middle-grade Mother Breath Pill in her hand. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with the quality of the middle-grade pill, she swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill poison of low-grade pills was too heavy, and middle-grade pills were slightly better. If she could, she really didn't want to take them.

But she couldn't refine top-grade and extreme-grade pills in a short time at all.

After taking the Mother Breath Pill, Hua Changxi's injuries began to improve. That day, her back became as smooth as new, without leaving any scars.

The efficacy of fourth-grade medicine was really not comparable to third-grade pills.

After the injuries were treated, Hua Changxi did not leave the Lingguang Hall immediately, but took out a bathtub, poured in Soul River water, and started taking a bath.

In the Xuanyuan Mansion, her soul body had not recovered to its peak. Now she had to quickly replenish her soul power.

Immersing her body in the Soul River water, Hua Changxi began to operate the 'Zhu Que Divine Art'.

She didn't feel the soul power clearly before, but now, through the reduction of the Soul River water, she deeply felt that the Zhu Que Divine Art was a dual-cultivation method that increased both spiritual power and soul power simultaneously.

No wonder so many cultivators were willing to join the Zhu Que Army. Although the Zhu Que Army had to fulfill certain responsibilities, it was not a loss just to be able to practice the 'Zhu Que Divine Art' method.

Buckets of Soul River water were absorbed, and Hua Changxi clearly felt her soul body getting stronger.

At first, she counted the numbers, wanting to calculate the soul power replenished by the Soul River water, but later, the number of times she poured the Soul River water was too many, and she was too lazy to count. It wasn't until she could no longer absorb the Soul River water that she stopped.

【Realm: Nascent Soul Stage 99.99 billion/10 billion; Divine Sense: 100 million/100 million】

Seeing that her divine sense had skyrocketed from the previous two million points to 100 million points, Hua Changxi was startled.

Her physical body could actually withstand so much more soul power!

Hua Changxi quickly figured out this problem, thinking that this should be because her physical body had become stronger.

She had practiced the fifth chapter of the "Nine Turns Profound Art". According to the law cultivation realm, the physical body strength corresponded to the Spirit Platform stage, and she had eaten five Profound Yellow Fruits, which was why the soul power limit her body could withstand was as high as 100 million points.

Besides that, what also surprised her was that her divine sense cultivation speed was too fast.

She had only soaked in the Soul River water for one night, which was ten or so hours at most. Calculating this, her divine sense cultivation speed was as high as 10 million soul power points per hour.

"Why is divine sense cultivation so fast?"

Having had the experience of spiritual power cultivation speed improvement, she didn't ponder on this problem for long.

The laws of 'divine sense cultivation speed' and 'spiritual power cultivation speed' should be connected. Every time her cultivation speed increased before, it was related to her doing things that conformed to the trend of spiritual energy resurgence.

Recently, she had indeed facilitated some major events.

The appearance of the Star Observation Tower should count as one!

And there was the appearance of the Xuanyuan Mansion!

It should be because of these two things that her divine sense cultivation speed was so fast.

The soul power her physical body could withstand skyrocketed, and her divine sense cultivation speed was so fast. Both points made Hua Changxi's mood very pleasant.

However, thinking that her opponents were already Spirit Platform stage cultivators, the pleasure in her heart quickly dissipated.

Now she had to continue to improve her strength, either by improving her realm or by refining her body.

To improve her realm, she had to solve the problem of cultivation stagnation, open up the Spirit Platform sea of consciousness...

Hua Changxi frowned. Was her realm unable to improve because her state of mind couldn't keep up?

"How can I improve my state of mind?"

Regarding the problem of state of mind, Hua Changxi had a headache. She felt that the matter of state of mind was too mysterious and ethereal, and it was not under human control at all. Now what she could operate was to continue body refining.

"Body refining..."

The further up she went in body refining, the difficulty continued to increase.

The fifth chapter of the "Nine Turns Profound Art" — Blood Refining Chapter, she was able to practice so fast, first because of that drop of Zhu Que essence blood, and second because she took five Profound Yellow Fruits.

The sixth chapter of the "Nine Turns Profound Art" — Internal Organs Chapter, required the internal organs to resonate together to achieve the effect of body refining. Relying solely on medicinal baths could not strengthen the physical body; she needed to find a suitable body-refining place, otherwise, she couldn't practice this chapter at all.

Hua Changxi now truly understood the sentence 'the further one goes on the path of cultivation, the harder it becomes'.

Law cultivators need their state of mind to keep up; body cultivators need harsh body-refining places. No matter which path one takes, it is not easy.

Hua Changxi had a headache the more she thought about it, so she simply stopped thinking about it and turned her attention to the Lingguang Hall. She raised her right hand, and the Zhu Que Army roster appeared in her hand.

"People!"

Because of the arrival of cultivators from all over the place, the number of Zhu Que Army was increasing rapidly.

Hua Changxi sent out her divine sense and scanned the situation of the entire Lingguang Hall. Soon, her gaze fell on the Task Hall.

She had previously issued a task to investigate the anomalies in Nanxiang County, and now many Zhu Que Army members had sent back news.

"Nanxiang County's area has become larger, and the fire spiritual energy in the air has increased significantly."

"In a valley in Nanxiang County, a spatial crack appeared. When a cultivator approached, their physical body immediately fell apart."

"Nanxiang County's landscape is changing. Mountains and forests are rising from the ground, and rift valleys are sinking into the ground."

"In a flat and open area in Nanxiang County, the sound of a waterfall appeared. The roaring sound was so loud, as if it fell from the firmament, but the naked eye could not capture it."

Hua Changxi looked at the feedback news, her eyes suddenly brightened. She thought of some places suitable for body refining.
