Chapter 183: Rebirth Pill
It was late at night.
Su Jingzhen stretched lazily, and he and Xuening had finally used up all the materials for the ten Heart-Calming Pills.
Originally, refining a third-grade pill wouldn’t take that long.
However, the two of them had discussed many details in the process.
The time it took to refine a pill was several times longer than usual.
But the success rate was making Su Jingzhen and Xuening both slightly embarrassed.
Out of the ten sets of materials, or twelve sets including the initial two, the success rate was only 30%.
Moreover, except for the first Heart-Calming Pill, which reached top-grade quality, the other three were only medium-grade.
“It’s because of me that I’m holding Miss Xuening back.”
“If Miss Xuening had done it alone, the success rate and quality of the pills would probably be even higher!”Su Jingzhen wasn’t being humble, but it was indeed the case.
Xuening was originally a third-grade alchemist, and if she had refined the Heart-Calming Pill alone, even with the newly obtained pill formula, it wouldn’t have been so difficult.
Xuening smiled and said, “This is a process of mutual adaptation. I believe that after Grandfather gives us another pill formula to practice, we’ll be able to refine pills of the same grade with ease.”
“Even refining fourth-grade pills will become easier with our cooperation.”
After a day of intense research, the mental exhaustion was considerable, so after chatting for a bit, the two of them went back to rest.
Today was extremely fulfilling, and Su Jingzhen fell into a deep sleep after returning to his room.
The next morning, he woke up very early.
【Days until the Host’s Dantian is destroyed: 480!】
【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 4, Luo Yuebai: 2】
【Remaining usable points: 149】
After receiving the fixed points, Su Jingzhen went to the courtyard and continued practicing the “Python Scales Power”.
He didn’t avoid his Body Cultivator identity.
He practiced for six or seven rounds, and stopped after he was drenched in sweat.
At this time, the blood energy in his body seemed to be boiling, giving him a sense of exhilaration.
He had a premonition that even if he wasn’t in that special place, but just practicing normally, he might be able to break through to the eighth layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo tomorrow.
After washing up a bit, Su Jingzhen went to the kitchen on his own.
He processed the leftover White Tiger meat from yesterday and turned it into a delicious meal.
Feng Qingya, Xuening, and Dantai Mingjing all followed the aroma into the kitchen.
However, since Xuening and Feng Qingya had eaten a lot yesterday, they restrained themselves today.
On the other hand, Su Jingzhen had a big feast.
As for Little Ling, with her cultivation level, she still hadn’t digested the food from yesterday.
After eating their fill and resting for a bit, they returned to the wooden hut from yesterday.
Regarding the Heart-Calming Pill, even though they wanted to continue researching, Dantai Mingjing couldn’t provide the materials.
And Feng Qingya didn’t have the authority to mobilize resources from other departments within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
She herself didn’t have any stockpiled materials for this type of pill.
Dantai Mingjing didn’t hesitate and directly took out a pale green jade slip from his storage bag.
“This is the pill formula for the Rebirth Pill.”
“Don’t look down on its name, but it’s actually a third-grade pill, and even among third-grade pills, it’s a top-tier item!”
Dantai Mingjing’s words caused Su Jingzhen and the others to be astonished.
The name “Rebirth pill” might be common in any gathering of cultivators, but it was impossible for it to be the one Dantai Mingjing took out.
After taking out the Rebirth pill formula, Dantai Mingjing’s gaze suddenly turned to Su Jingzhen.
“Little friend Su, this pill formula is a gift from me, Dantai Mingjing, to support the younger generation.”
“You don’t need to give me anything in return.”
He paused, not waiting for Su Jingzhen’s response, and smiled, “With my current state, it’s impossible for me to take on a disciple, otherwise, I would have taken you as my disciple.”
“So, the things I’m giving you now are a token of my friendship with you.”
“Of course, it’s also a fulfillment of my promise to Feng Qingya’s father, and all of this is for Feng Qingya’s sake, so these things are what I should give.”
As he spoke, Dantai Mingjing’s face wore a sincere smile.
Su Jingzhen, of course, smiled and nodded, and if he refused again, it would be too pretentious.
He immediately bowed deeply to Dantai Mingjing.
“Thank you, senior!”
After speaking, he and Xuening read the Rebirth pill formula together.
As the two of them read the pill formula, Dantai Mingjing directly took out 15 sets of materials.
“These are all the Rebirth pill materials I’ve collected.”
“They’re all from my previous stockpile, and I haven’t personally refined any pills in a long time, nor have I collected any new materials.”
Whether it was the Heart-Calming Pill or the Rebirth pill, Dantai Mingjing had carefully considered before taking them out.
Not only was it because the two pill formulas were close to the pill that may appear in the competition that Feng Qingya mentioned, but also because the materials for these two pills were relatively abundant.
The rest of the materials, although he had the formulas, would be difficult to find in a short time.
And the Rebirth pill required 15 different materials, making it even more challenging.
As they began to refine the pill, Dantai Mingjing didn’t stay to watch them.
A teacher can only lead the way, and the rest is up to the individual’s cultivation.
Refining pills was the same.
He had given them the formula and some guidance, and now it was up to them to operate on their own.
Seeing Dantai Mingjing leave, Feng Qingya didn’t stay in the wooden hut for long either.
Su Jingzhen and Xuening were discussing their refining, and Feng Qingya staying here would be meaningless.
Moreover, she wanted to show her face in Tianning City today.
Otherwise, she knew some people might be very anxious.
…
No matter what they did, once they got into it, time would always pass quickly.
Especially for Su Jingzhen and Xuening, who would always discuss and refine each pill for a long time.
When they finally used up the 15 sets of Rebirth pill materials, their cooperation had reached an unprecedented level.
This time, the success rate of their Rebirth pill was twice that of the Heart-Calming Pill.
By the time the night was deep, they had successfully refined eight Rebirth pills, with half of them being top-grade.
“Master Su is truly talented!”
Looking at the eight pills in front of them, Xuening’s heart was filled with shock and amazement.
Only when cooperating with Su Jingzhen did she deeply feel that Su Jingzhen’s pill refining talent was terrifying.
She naturally sensed that Su Jingzhen’s pill refining skills were far beyond hers.
But after these two days of cooperation, she saw that Su Jingzhen’s pill refining skills had improved at an incredible rate.
Xuening believed that if Su Jingzhen were to refine a third-grade pill on his own, it would be no problem at all.
At this time, Su Jingzhen hadn’t even had a chance to respond to Xuening’s praise.
Suddenly, a golden font appeared in front of them.
