Moreover, the strongest power of his magic was the Small Five Elements Thousand Thunder Skill.
"Perhaps it might truly threaten a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?"
Zhou Changwang muttered.
He dared not be certain, nor did he rashly attempt it.
From childhood to adulthood, he had heard countless tales of the powerful Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
He had also never heard of anyone in the Qi Cultivation Stage defeating a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Reversal Immortal Slaying was never an easy feat.
...
"The main materials for the Spirit Revitalizing Pill are Spirit Gathering Grass, Moon Commanding Flower, Clover, and the roots of Aquatic Grass...Among them, Spirit Gathering Grass is the primary material, indispensable.
While Moon Commanding Flower and Clover are supplementary, the roots of Aquatic Grass can be replaced with three-color lotus root rhizome..."
Zhou Changwang studied the formula for the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, retrieving the respective materials from the Storage Bag.
Among them, the main spiritual material, Spirit Gathering Grass, was grown by himself.
However, materials like Moon Commanding Flower and Clover were too exhausting to cultivate by himself, so he spent considerable time visiting spiritual material stores specifically to purchase them.
They were merely supplementary materials, so they were relatively cheap, costing only one lower-grade Spirit Stone per set of materials.
Zhou Changwang bought a thousand sets at once, spending eight hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones after discounts.
Then Zhou Changwang began his first refining attempt.
The Fireball Technique set off, igniting the Mars Stone beneath the Qiankun Tripod.
This Mars Stone, a commonly used alchemy material for alchemy masters, was not only durable but also had stable temperatures sufficient to meet the alchemy needs of most Initial-Tier First Grade and Mid-Tier First Grade alchemy masters.
Compared to his previous direct control of Fireball Technique to sustain alchemy, it required much less effort.
Thus, when the temperature reached a certain level.
He cast the Cleaning Technique to clean the pill furnace and then put in the respective spiritual materials one by one.
Boom!
A burst of black smoke rushed out of the alchemy furnace.
"Failed!"
Zhou Changwang frowned slightly.
He carefully recalled his previous steps until he discovered the problem, then used the Cleaning Technique again and began his second attempt at alchemy.
Boom!
Soon, he encountered his second failure.
Then came the third, fourth time...
Zhou Changwang had long known that the difficulty of refining the Spirit Revitalizing Pill far exceeded that of the Fasting Pill and was already prepared to fail countless times.
He maintained calmness of heart and mind.
Attempt after attempt, failure after failure, he started over each time.
After each failure, he paused slightly, pondering, summarizing, until he felt he had thoroughly understood the problem before beginning another attempt at alchemy.
Repeating the process.
After the thirteenth attempt, Zhou Changwang performed the Pill Collection Technique.
A hint of surprise appeared on his face.
"It succeeded?"
Immediately, he focused his gaze on that one Spirit Pill.
Pitch black, with only traces of white.
"A wasted pill!
But does this count as success?"
Zhou Changwang’s gaze then fell on the attribute panel.
Spirit Revitalizing Pill (Entry Level 1/100)
"Entry Level already?
Even quicker compared to when refining the Fasting Pill?
Though this one had over eighty percent impurities as a wasted pill.
Yet after one success, things became easier.
I just need to proceed step by step, continually refining..."
Zhou Changwang felt unexpectedly surprised.
But also very pleased.
He hurriedly began refining again.
Wasted pill! Wasted pill! Wasted pill!
Spirit Revitalizing Pill +1
Spirit Revitalizing Pill +1
Spirit Revitalizing Pill +1
...
Thus, only after refining the seventh Spirit Revitalizing Pill, he finally succeeded in producing a low-grade Spirit Pill.
Low Grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills!
Then, he began trying the eighth, ninth pill refined.
The eighth time was also a wasted pill, but the ninth time yielded another low-grade Spirit Pill.
After over thirty attempts, he began to steadily produce low-grade Spirit Pills.
After sixty attempts, he started trying to add more spiritual materials, beginning to refine two or three pills per batch.
Though the pill success rate wasn’t high.
Mostly what came out were wasted pills.
However, his experience points soared quickly as a result.
Each attempt could increase by two to three points, occasionally surging up to four points.
Thus quickly, he advanced this one Spirit Pill to the Mastery Level.
"This is the brush-pills technique!
Failure isn’t frightening.
What’s frightening is failing and not gaining experience points.
Now, I can take advantage of this to continually enhance skill levels, swiftly progressing to Small Success and Great Success..."
This was Zhou Changwang’s unique method of alchemy.
Though it wasted a lot of materials.
It was worthwhile for him.
Perfectly allowed him to rapidly cross the initial growth period in a short time.
Thus, a few days later.
"Spirit Revitalizing Pill reached Great Success!"
Zhou Changwang felt a surge of surprise and delight.
Unexpectedly, his unintentional attempt ultimately succeeded.
Truly elevating his Spirit Revitalizing Pill refining level to Great Success in the shortest timeframe.
However, this kind of ’extravagant’ alchemy technique was only suitable for him and only effective in his initial stages of cultivation.
Later, when refining First Grade High Tier, or even Second Grade Initial Tier Spirit Pills, though still usable, such consumption would be distressing.
Now, Spirit Revitalizing Pill was tolerable, with a material cost of only two to three lower-grade Spirit Stones per set.
He could afford the consumption.
But materials for First Grade High Tier Spirit Pills cost at least tens to hundreds of lower-grade Spirit Stones per set, a hundred sets mean ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Even with his current speed of earning Spirit Stones, he couldn’t afford the consumption.
"Spirit Revitalizing Pill reached Great Success.
The current me can assure the pill success rate even when refining ten sets of materials together.
And the final refined pills aren’t just ten Spirit Revitalizing Pills, but thirteen, fifteen pills.
Each pill’s minimum grade is a low-grade Spirit Pill, mostly Mid-grade Spirit Pills, with the highest able to reach Top Grade Level..."
Zhou Changwang commenced refining a batch of Spirit Pills again.
The Pill Separation Technique took action.
Pills, one after another, emerged spinning, drawn out by him from the pill furnace.
Spirit Revitalizing Pill +15
"Fifteen Spirit Revitalizing Pills, three are low-grade Spirit Pills, ten are mid-grade Spirit Pills, two are top-grade Spirit Pills."
Zhou Changwang showed a hint of satisfaction.
The price of Spirit Revitalizing Pills was significantly higher than that of Fasting Pills.
Low Grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills cost at least three lower-grade Spirit Stones each, Mid-grade are six lower-grade Spirit Stones, Top-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pill twelve lower-grade Spirit Stones each.
The higher the grade, the pricier they became.
At least doubled incrementally.
This batch, after spending under half an hour, ended up with fifteen refined pills, potentially profiting ninety-three lower-grade Spirit Stones upon sale.
Compared to costs of ten sets of materials at twenty-five lower-grade Spirit Stones, his profit was sixty-eight lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Which doesn’t seem like much!
Yet this was only Mid-grade Spirit Pills!
And only one batch!
"Continue!"
Finishing all these materials should roughly coincide with the opening of the Black Market!
Zhou Changwang glanced at the remaining spiritual materials within the Storage Bag, then drew out ten more sets, tossing them into the alchemy furnace again.
Fifteen pills!
Thirteen pills!
Fourteen pills!
Seventeen pills!
...
Batch after batch of Spirit Pills were refined by him.
The quantities varied.
Almost every batch yielded harvest, not only advancing his alchemy level steadily but also rapidly accumulating the number of Spirit Pills on him.
In the end, even the Elixir Bottles fell short.
...
