Although he experienced countless failures in the process, fortunately, he finally succeeded in refining a spirit pill.
Fasting Pill!
His gaze fell on the attribute panel.
Sure enough, there were changes!
Name: Zhou Changwang
Lifespan: 18/120
Cultivation: Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation (72/100)
...
Alchemy: Alchemy Skill (Entry Level 1/100)
Fasting Pill (Entry Level 1/100)
"As expected, Fasting Pill is at the entry level.
Moreover, there’s an additional alchemy skill.
Could it be that, like talisman making, you need to continuously refine new spirit pills to improve this skill?"
Zhou Changwang was a bit puzzled but didn’t delve too deep.
After all, it wouldn’t have a significant impact.
Then, he looked at the spirit pill in his hand.
Its entire body was silver-white, but upon careful inspection, there were many spotted black lines on it.
These were the areas not uniformly refined when extracting spiritual energy and were imperfectly refined.
Collectively referred to as ’impurities’ and ’erysipelas’.
However, it doesn’t mean that ’impurities’ and ’erysipelas’ are truly harmful substances.
For example, this fasting pill is refined from spirit rice, and even if it becomes a pill, it won’t produce any real toxins.
It’s just that compared to the function of the spirit pill itself, it is classified under ’erysipelas’.
"According to the Pill Identification Technique, the fewer the impurities, the higher the quality of the spirit pill.
If impurity content is above seventy percent, it’s all classified as wasted pill and serves no purpose.
If it’s below fifty percent, it’s a low grade spirit pill; impurity content below thirty percent is a mid-grade spirit pill; below twenty percent is top grade; impurity content below ten percent is a top-grade spiritual pill.
Top-grade spiritual pills, generally, are almost the limit for a type of spirit pill; even if consumed continuously, there won’t be much impurity or erysipelas residue..."
Thoughts turned in Zhou Changwang’s mind as he immediately performed the Pill Identification Technique from the Qi Family Alchemy Skill to identify the spirit pill and discovered that it was a low grade spirit pill.
The impurity content was exactly at sixty-nine points.
In other words, it barely made it as a refined pill.
If there was even one more point, it would have been a wasted pill and not very useful.
"But success is all that matters.
A low grade spirit pill is still a spirit pill. Theoretically, one low-grade fasting pill can keep a person full for ten days without needing to eat.
But this one?"
Zhou Changwang muttered as his gaze turned to the spirit dog Xiaohanzi lying nearby.
Xiaohanzi seemed to sense something, quickly raising its head, and upon seeing its owner staring at it, excitedly wagged its tail.
"Since you’re interested, I’ll reward you with it!"
Zhou Changwang smiled, flicking the fasting pill toward Xiaohanzi.
Xiaohanzi was initially taken aback, then gave it a light sniff, felt the spiritual energy within the spirit pill, instinctively licked it, and swallowed it effortlessly.
Instantly, a strong feeling of fullness spread from his stomach.
He howled, seemingly excited, and joyfully ran toward the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee hive, seeming to show off.
Full of energy.
"Seems like the effect is good.
But I wonder, how many days would it last?"
Zhou Changwang felt slightly relieved and didn’t hesitate to continue refining.
Since he succeeded in alchemy, he naturally needed to refine as much as possible to improve his alchemical skills.
One batch, two batches, three batches...
Just the fasting pill, and one batch per portion; Zhou Changwang refined at a rapid pace, taking about the time of one incense stick to refine a batch.
And due to the attribute panel, he could refine a batch into pills almost every time.
Most were low grade spirit pills, with only a few wasted pills due to failure in controlling the timing and heat.
After refining over a dozen pieces,
Zhou Changwang increased the difficulty, attempting to add two portions of spirit rice.
Although the difficulty increased significantly, familiarity brought proficiency, and after a few failures, he smoothly refined it into spirit pills.
Fasting Pill +2
After becoming proficient, Zhou Changwang quickly began attempting three portions, four portions...
As such, the experience gained in alchemy increased rapidly.
Just on the first day, he broke through from the entry stage to the mastery level.
And Zhou Changwang also, for the first time, refined a middle grade fasting pill.
However, at the same time, Zhou Changwang’s supply of Spirit Grain Rice was entirely consumed, and he quickly took out Crescent Rice and Blood Spirit Rice.
After three days.
Zhou Changwang successfully advanced the fasting pill in alchemy to the Small Success Realm.
"The Small Success fasting pill is indeed remarkable.
I’m already able to productively make top-grade level spirit pills."
Zhou Changwang flipped his hand and took out the top-grade fasting pill he had just refined.
This spirit pill was perfectly round, white, and crystalline, almost flawless.
After identifying it with the Pill Identification Technique, it was indeed a spirit pill with a quality rating of over eighty-five, a genuine top-grade fasting pill.
Importantly, this fasting pill was refined from Thunder Spirit Rice.
With a top-grade quality, it was quite satisfactory for Zhou Changwang, so he didn’t hesitate and swallowed it whole.
The fasting pill melted in his mouth immediately.
Soon, his stomach, which had felt slightly hungry, was perfectly satisfied, with a strong sense of fullness.
He felt that he could go ten days or half a month without eating or drinking, no problem at all.
"Moreover, the fasting pill is equivalent to concentrating all the spiritual energy of the spirit rice into the small spirit pill.
As long as the spiritual energy in the body depletes to a certain extent, the spiritual energy in the spirit pill will keep releasing until the spiritual energy within the pill is completely exhausted..."
Zhou Changwang carefully sensed all this, and a look of great joy appeared on his face.
