YM778.TV Chapter 259: One-Time Success?
And when it came to auxiliary items, quality trumped quantity.
In the realm of refining the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, Xuening’s experience was undoubtedly superior to Bai Xiu’s.
As for Ye Zhiqiu’s arrangement, Bai Xiu was really speechless.
He had no way to refute it.
Although Bai Xiu was a rising star in the alchemy world of Qingzhou, known for his arrogance and pride, he was completely subdued in front of these individuals, especially Ye Zhiqiu.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “There’s no need to refine the Breaking Through Adversity Pill again. I have some finished products here, just take them.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen pulled out a jade bottle from his storage bracelet. These were the pills he had refined at the Clear Wind Mountain, all of super-grade quality.
Since it was common knowledge that Su Jingzhen could refine super-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pills, taking them out was perfectly normal.The three of them, including Xuening, were taken aback by this sight. They already had a guess in their minds.
Ye Zhiqiu, with anticipation, took the jade bottle. Upon opening it, her expression was filled with shock.
“Friend Su… This… This is what you refined before?”
Su Jingzhen chuckled, “To be honest, before I only had one second-grade recipe that was Breaking Through Adversity Pill. So I could only practice with it, but the success rate was decent.”
His words seemed nonchalant, but they inadvertently displayed his prowess.
The three of them, if they had been consistently refining the same pill, might have had a chance to refine a super-grade one. But to refine an entire bottle of super-grade pills was simply a fantasy.
If they knew that Su Jingzhen had several more bottles of these pills in his storage bracelet, they would probably be speechless.
“Friend Su, you are amazing!”
At this time, Bai Xiu had already seen the pill in the jade bottle. With a wry smile, he bowed to Su Jingzhen and could only manage to say “amazing.”
In his heart, Bai Xiu felt a tinge of bitterness. He had once been arrogant, but now he realized that among these four, he, Bai Xiu, might be the most useless.
Of course, with Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu’s experience, they couldn’t see through Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s connection to the Dan Heart.
“In that case, my task is complete, right? I won’t disturb the two of you, so please go ahead.”
Su Jingzhen smiled at Xuening and Ye Zhiqiu.
Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu finally recovered from her initial shock. Her gaze turned back to Su Jingzhen.
“If that’s the case, there’s one more thing that needs Friend Su’s help.”
As soon as she said this, a hint of curiosity flickered in Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
Ye Zhiqiu then pointed at the Feng family ancestor in front of them.
“To refine the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill that can remove the toxins from the Feng family ancestor’s body, the freshest blood is needed. Although releasing it beforehand should also work, it’s certainly not as good as having it readily available. Friend Su understands what I mean, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she laughed again without waiting for Su Jingzhen’s response, “Hahaha, those who are capable should do more work, Friend Su, please don’t shirk it.”
Su Jingzhen nodded with a smile. This wouldn’t be difficult for him.
With the tasks finally assigned, Ye Zhiqiu and Xuening wasted no time. They each took out their alchemy furnaces and began processing the ingredients for the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
Xuening, however, took out the same ordinary-looking alchemy furnace as before, which surprised Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu once again.
“Miss Xuening, are you still going to use this furnace?” Ye Zhiqiu asked immediately.
In her opinion, using a high-quality furnace would naturally result in a higher success rate. This wasn’t the time to hone oneself.
Xuening smiled, “I’m used to it. Suddenly using a higher-quality furnace might lead to some discomfort. Don’t worry, Senior Sister Zhiqiu, this furnace won’t affect our alchemy process.”
Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu were surprised once again, but they didn’t say anything more.
Only Su Jingzhen knew that Xuening was likely trying to enter that Dan Heart state again using this furnace.
I wonder if Xuening will be able to reach that state this time. If she succeeds, the probability of success will probably increase by several times, Su Jingzhen thought to himself, filled with anticipation.
As he spoke, Xuening had already ignited the flames within her furnace and instantly entered the state of alchemy.
Seeing this, Ye Zhiqiu didn’t hesitate either and began processing the ingredients simultaneously.
Su Jingzhen and Bai Xiu, the two men, simply watched from the sidelines. Su Jingzhen also picked up the dagger Ye Zhiqiu had given him earlier and began to wave it in front of the Feng family ancestor, ready to draw blood at any moment.
In less than half an hour, under the joint efforts of Xuening and Ye Zhiqiu, the ingredients for a Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill were refined.
After refining the ingredients, the two began their operation. Ye Zhiqiu gave Su Jingzhen a look, and the latter immediately understood.
He fixed his gaze on their movements, the knife already poised at the Feng family ancestor’s wrist.
He was ready to strike at any moment if needed.
Under the watchful eyes of Su Jingzhen and Bai Xiu, Ye Zhiqiu and Xuening started to merge the ingredients.
The first forty ingredients posed no challenge to either of them. However, this time, every ten ingredients required a drop of the Feng family ancestor’s poisonous blood.
“Brother Su!”
When they reached the tenth ingredient, Xuening called out to Su Jingzhen.
“Senior, I apologize!”
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate, drawing his knife across the Feng family ancestor’s wrist.
A drop of black blood immediately welled up.
Instead of using a vial, Su Jingzhen unleashed the blood qi power from his Labor Palace acupoint, gathering it on his middle finger. With a gentle flick, he propelled the drop of black blood towards Xuening and Ye Zhiqiu.
The two women effortlessly incorporated it into the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
They were initially nervous about the first infusion of black blood, fearing it would disrupt the pill’s fusion. However, the first drop went in without any reaction, easing their worries.
Thereafter, every ten ingredients, Su Jingzhen would draw a drop of blood from the Feng family ancestor.
In just a few incense sticks’ time, the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill was almost complete, with nine out of ten parts formed within the white alchemy furnace in front of Ye Zhiqiu.
Now came the crucial step: merging the Bodhi Liquid.
At this moment, the expressions of the two women turned serious.
But they were decisive and directly poured a drop of Bodhi Liquid into the furnace.
However, the expected hissing sound didn’t occur.
Nor did any burnt smell waft out.
The moment the Bodhi Liquid entered, it perfectly merged with the pill.
The entire pill suddenly became smooth and round.
Had they succeeded in one go?
