Chapter 44: Chapter 43: Half a Month, Qi Refining Mid Stage!

Half a month later.

Great Xia Country, Martial Arts Research Institute.

In the Alchemy Room forged by Martial Arts Technology.

The air temperature has exceeded sixty degrees Celsius.

Lin Chen surrounded himself with Wood Element True Essence to block the high temperature, standing before the Alchemy Furnace, manipulating it.

The device emitted flames exceeding six hundred degrees.

Once the furnace was slightly warm, Lin Chen successively placed Red Blood Flower, Blood Coagulation Grass, and several other medicinal materials inside.

After setting the six hundred degree flame for a moment, Lin Chen moved on to the next Alchemy Furnace to replicate the operation.

Repeating this process several times, ten Alchemy Furnaces started work simultaneously.

After observing and resting for a moment, Lin Chen returned to the instruments to control the flame temperature.

He adjusted the flame temperature to nine hundred degrees and maintained it for half an hour.

Finally, with a five hundred fifty-degree flame, he simmered the pills for half an hour.

After completing this process, a burst of fragrance emanated from the Alchemy Furnace.

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen streams of Wood Element True Essence surged forth.

All ten furnaces opened simultaneously!

In an instant, the entire Alchemy Room was filled with the aroma of pills…

Sixty to seventy round, lush pills floated in front of him.

Lin Chen took out a porcelain bottle and placed the pills inside one by one…

“A total of sixty-five Qi Blood Pills, with a pill formation success rate close to sixty-five percent… That’s quite good!”

Lin Chen chuckled softly, very satisfied with the high technology Alchemy Furnace on Blue Star.

A low tier pill like the Qi Blood Pill does not have specific flame requirements.

Therefore, as long as the temperature is right and the timing and materials are well-controlled, mass production is simple!

In the Cultivation Realm, alchemists rely entirely on manual operations, inevitably prone to errors.

However, in terms of efficiency, what could be higher than instrument-based alchemy?

As long as the program steps are correct, one person can simultaneously refine dozens of furnaces of pills!

Moreover, flame temperature control with precise accuracy is something even the top alchemists find hard to achieve.

Timing precision to a second far exceeds most alchemists.

“Hmm, but instrument-based alchemy has its drawbacks…”

“Even with the most precise control of temperature and timing… it can only produce Upper Grade quality.”

“As for the rumored Top Grade or even Ultimate Grade pills, they cannot be refined this way!”

Lin Chen murmured.

Occasionally, alchemists in the Cultivation Realm, under a sudden flash of inspiration, can refine Ultimate Grade pills.

These pills are far superior in quality to those of the same tier and are almost free of pill poison, making them very rare.

Such Ultimate Grade pills cannot be refined using instruments.

As for the reason, Lin Chen could only attribute it to a certain metaphysical angle.

After all, cultivation… is inherently not that scientific.

“Hmm, I’ve grasped the steps and details for instrument-based refinement of the Qi Blood Pill completely!”

“Next, as long as I teach this process to the researchers… Qi Blood Pills can be mass-produced!”

Lin Chen’s face bore a smile.

Since gaining the ability to travel between two worlds, it has been nearly two months.

Counting the time, he has traveled to the Cultivation Realm exactly seven times.

Apart from the first two travels, almost every time Lin Chen returned to Blue Star, he brought back many good things.

Such as Spirit Rice, Cold Iron Stone, Body Refining Techniques, and the like.

But to date, the Qi Blood Pill is the first pill suitable for large-scale promotion.

Its significance is immense!

So long as Lin Chen collects enough medicinal materials to bring back, with the execution power of Great Xia Country.

It will surely be widely promoted in a short time; perhaps one day the Qi Blood Pill will become a standard pill for martial artists!

By then, the cultivation speed in the early stages of the Martial Path will greatly accelerate.

In less than ten years, perhaps high-level martial artists will be ordinary, and even warriors can be found everywhere.

“However, the pills produced by me alone are just a drop in the bucket…”

“Next, the pills I refine should be used for sale to obtain Spirit Stones and other cultivation resources…”

“My demand for resources is getting higher and higher!”

Lin Chen sighed.

A few days ago, after breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, his daily need for cultivation resources grew.

Not to mention, just ensuring basic daily cultivation requires at least two Spirit Stones!

In two weeks, he traveled twice, which for Lin Chen amounted to a month.

The remaining sixty-plus Spirit Stones from before are now down to just a few, about to be depleted.

Without Spirit Stones, Lin Chen cannot cultivate on Blue Star, and his cultivation speed will greatly decrease.

“On the path of cultivation, wealth, companions, location, and technique… Wealth comes first!”

“It seems that when I return to the Cultivation Realm, I need to visit the marketplace… I’ll refine more Qi Blood Pills these days to sell!”

Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless.

After all, besides his own cultivation, Zi’s growth also required a significant investment.

Although he had some Spirit Beast Pills given by his master before, they wouldn’t last much longer.

In order to accelerate Zi’s growth, Lin Chen fed a Spirit Beast Pill almost every day.

However, the growth expenditure had led to Zi’s rapid development.

At this rate, in two more months, Zi would step into the juvenile stage and assist Lin Chen in pill refining.

“Fortunately, I still have quite a few herbs on hand. I should refine a few more furnaces of Qi Blood Pills later…”

Lin Chen didn’t hurry to refine pills but first called Wang Lishan.

“Hello, Uncle Wang… I’ve fully mastered the art of refining Qi Blood Pills! I want to pass this technique on to a few trustworthy people!”

“Great! I’ll be right over!”

After hanging up the phone, it wasn’t long before two figures appeared in the Alchemy Room.

Besides Wang Lishan, the other person was Wang Xinyu.

“Uncle Wang, why did you bring Sister Xinyu over? Isn’t she researching Body Refining Techniques?”

Lin Chen asked with some confusion.

He initially planned to find a few researchers to get acquainted with the procedures for refining pills using instruments.

Afterward, he could take a step back and let the researchers refine the pills independently.

But Wang Xinyu said:

“There’s been some progress with the Body Refining Technique… Previously, I brought over a dozen experts from the Breathing Technique Domain to research it.”

“According to them, there are many aspects of the Giant Stone Body Refining Technique worth referencing… Perhaps in another month or two, there will be a major improvement in the Breathing Technique!”

“Experts estimate that with the new Eighth Generation Breathing Technique, even an ordinary martial artist could increase Qi and Blood Value by about five points in a year!”

Mentioning this, Wang Xinyu couldn’t help but sound excited.

Every major improvement in the Breathing Technique was undoubtedly a monumental advancement for humanity’s Martial Path.

From the initial version, where even practicing for a year barely increased one point of Qi and Blood, to now where it could increase by three to four points in a year.

This is an efficiency increase by several times!

Not to mention the Eighth Generation Breathing Technique, the five-point increase in Qi and Blood Value is a three to four times efficiency boost over the original technique!

One must know, this is a nationwide improvement in martial artists’ cultivation efficiency!

The significant impact it brings is enough to be remembered in history.

If it weren’t for Lin Chen’s special identity, he might already be idolized as a national icon.

The impact on the national Martial Path is a broader matter.

At the same time, the improvement in the Eighth Generation Breathing Technique is especially significant for geniuses like Lin Chen.

His previous efficiency in cultivating the Breathing Technique was already high; with an added three to four times boost, his advancement will be terrifying.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

To push forward humanity’s Martial Path with one’s own efforts… there is nothing greater!

At this moment, Wang Xinyu added:

“The Body Refining Techniques of the Cultivation Realm are incredibly important to us… If you have the chance in the future, I hope you can keep an eye on them in the Cultivation Realm!”

Lin Chen nodded and replied:

“Naturally, I will keep an eye out!”

After discussing the improvements to the Breathing Technique, Lin Chen personally taught Wang Xinyu the way of pill refining.

The process was not difficult, merely requiring the appropriate adjustments to the temperature, flame strength, and timing on the instruments.

After Lin Chen demonstrated a few times, Wang Xinyu had already learned.

With the steps mastered, Wang Xinyu seriously remarked:

“The refining of Qi Blood Pills is of great importance, so I will have to learn it personally and then gradually teach it to trustworthy researchers…”

“Moreover, since your identity is a secret, we must do our utmost to ensure your safety… Thus, it’s best that most researchers don’t see you.”

Lin Chen nodded in agreement, knowing that the fewer people who knew about him, the safer he was.

“Then I’ll trouble Sister Xinyu… The pill formulas I learn in the future will likely need to be taught to you!” Lin Chen said with a smile.

Wang Lishan interjected at this point:

“The steps for pill refining aren’t difficult for us… it’s the source of the herbs that might be challenging!”

“All three herbs needed for the Qi Blood Pill require a Spiritual Energy environment to grow… but we’re yet to figure out the Spiritual Energy aspect.”

Lin Chen sighed and said:

“I have in mind to acquire a Spirit Gathering Array… but it costs a lot, even the most basic one would require dozens of Spirit Stones.”

“When I return to the Cultivation Realm, I’ll take a look at the marketplace below Changchun Mountain!”

Wang Lishan knew this couldn’t be rushed and said.

“For now, that’s all we can do…”

With that, he took a Broken Blade out of a Nanobag and handed it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked surprised when he saw the blade.

“Uncle Wang, what’s with this blade?”

Wang Lishan carefully wiped the blade and said:

“Remember the promise I made to you earlier?”

“After breaking through to the Warrior level… I’ll reward you with a Martial Spirit Relic!”
