C12 Surge of Strength

The process of peeling off the crystal core would inevitably waste some of the energy within the crystal core, but during the entire process of peeling off the skin, Ling Jian did not waste a single bit of energy.

"… …"

After the preparation was complete, Ling Jian placed the ingredients into the pill furnace and started refining the Bone Ablutionary Dan.

The next part of the job was uninteresting, and he passed it in a long wait.

In this period of time, he had undoubtedly become even more careful. If he was even the slightest bit careless, all of his previous efforts would have been for naught. Ling Jian did not wish to fail his first time concocting the Bone Ablutionary Dan.

He did not know why, but it was probably because he had been human for two lifetimes and his soul force was relatively strong. This kind of perfect control was at the peak of perfection, and during the entire waiting process, no major mistakes had occurred.

About an hour later, a violent reaction occurred within the black pill furnace. The lid was forcefully opened, and smoke rose up as purple Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads appeared in Ling Jian's line of sight.

The rays of purple light were like sharp swords that cut through the gas. They were very holy and powerful.

Looking at the purple light that was being released, Ling Jian wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

The Bone Ablutionary Dan had succeeded!

Furthermore, it was not only one pellet. Its grade was even the highest.

The Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads were divided according to their color. They were divided into different grades: blue, green, black, and purple.

And without a doubt, the purple Bone Ablutionary Dan was of the highest quality.

If any other alchemist master were to see the entire process of Ling Jian's refining the pills, they would definitely be so shocked that they would be speechless. Refining pills was not like concocting a medicine, it was a complicated process, not to mention it was also very complicated, but it would also lead to mistakes, and martial arts cultivators would simply not be able to achieve that kind of penetrating power, and would not be able to grasp the changes of the medicinal ingredients within, thus they would usually have a 99% failure rate. Usually, they would be able to refine pills using their strong experience, as well as the time when they were at their peak.

Because, this method only succeeded after 99% failure rate.

Moreover, this Bone Ablutionary Dan was a grade six medicinal pill. As for Ling Jian himself, he was only at the third level of the Martial Dao.

With the cultivation of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Martial Dao and the cultivation of such an initial stage martial artist, to refine a grade six pill that even those who had cultivated to the Sixth Heavenly Layer might not be able to refine, was most likely the only person in the entire cultivation world, Ling Jian?

"Since the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead has been successfully refined, I might as well use it here."

Looking at the time and seeing that there was still an hour left, Ling Jian did not hesitate as he took off his shirt and sat cross-legged on the ground. He retrieved a Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead and swallowed it.

Boom!

As the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead entered his body, it rapidly spread out in all directions, with his Qi Sea at the center. In a short span of time, the effects of the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead had already spread to all parts of his body. Immediately after, the medicinal strength of the Bone Ablutionary Dan began to erupt, and a wave of pain erupted from every tissue in his body, from every drop of blood, causing Ling Jian to grit his teeth and not move at all, not even making a sound.

No matter how much pain he had to endure, it was all worth it. As long as he could improve his cultivation base quickly!

In just a short moment, Ling Jian's entire body was covered in sweat.

Ling Jian's face was twisted, and his body was burning hot. Layers of black mud seeped out from the pores on the outside of his body, and not long after, a thick layer of black mud had formed on the outside of his body, exactly the same as when he was expelling the poison.

The medicinal strength of the Bone Ablutionary Dan continued to flood through Ling Jian's weak body. His muscles, bones and meridians, which could not bear the weight, underwent a rapid metamorphosis. After which, they continued to split and reform, causing an intense pain. Ling Jian could not help but twitch. His red face was covered with beads of sweat.

If it was an ordinary cultivator of the Third Heavenly Layer, they would have already fainted under the reconstruction of their muscles, bones, and meridians. Even if it was a cultivator of the Sixth Heavenly Layer, he would not be able to maintain the absolute clarity of his mind under this kind of pain. However, throughout this entire process, Ling Jian did not even make a sound.

In the refining room, Ling Jian sat cross-legged with his head facing the sky. His eyes were focused on his nose, his nose focused on his heart, his palms faced the sky while his five hearts faced the sky.

Within the main hall of the Medicine Sect.

As a waiter, we must be quick to get what we want. When customers come, we must be courteous and treat them as gods, so that they can come to our Medicine Sect. Some people should not forget their responsibilities just because they are trying to curry favor with alchemists.

Pan Xinlian was currently fuming at Drizzt. Moreover, her words were extremely unpleasant to hear.

It turned out that Pan Xinlian had been holding a grudge regarding Ling Jian's previous visit. A customer had just arrived, and it was only because of the lack of salutations that made her find an opportunity to mock and ridicule him.

Opposite her, Drizzt was being scolded to the extreme. He only sobbed quietly and didn't dare to retort. As for the waiters, they watched the scene in front of them with cold expressions.

"Pan Xinlian, just who caused you to be so unhappy? Come, tell this Saint." A youth around the age of twenty with a haughty expression walked up to Pan Xinlian.

This person's face was filled with arrogance, as if he didn't put anyone in his eyes. His expression was cold, but he was actually interested in Pan Xinlian. As the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect, for Pan Xinlian to be chosen, it must be from the ancestors' graves.

"So it's the Great Sage. What a rare guest." When Pan Xinlian saw who it was, a charming smile immediately appeared on her face. She looked at this person with infatuation and said with a giggle, "Why is the Great Sage here today? "If you continue to wander around like this, you might get overtaken by the other Holy Sons."

"Alright, I have something to take care of today." "During this period of time, I obtained a method to refine a grade-1 pill from the sect. Today, I want to see if I can refine it, and if I can, then I'll be a grade-1 alchemist from now on. When the time comes, I'll have a double identity as the Holy Son, and you'll have even more face by following me, right?"

The Great Sage chuckled, then gently wiped Pan Xinlian's pretty face.

"Really?" Pan Xinlian was wild with joy. She did not care about what the Great Sage had just done, and she seemed to be very happy about it.

However, Pan Xinlian had never thought that the Great Sage would have such a deep affection for her after meeting and treating the injured Thousand-Ideas during that training session. Of course, she had been very willing, and after knowing the other person's identity, she had initially resisted it for a while, afraid that her status and position were not compatible with the Thousand Ideas. However, she had never expected that the Great Sage, who had such a high status within the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect, would not flatter her in the slightest, and would instead be favored by her.

Now that he heard that the Great Sage was about to become a Tier 1 alchemist, he was truly happy for the Great Sage.

"Right now, prepare a refining room for me immediately." The Great Sage's tone was unquestionable.

Pan Xinlian flipped through the book and immediately frowned. "How unfortunate. Great Sage, we've already used up all of the slots for our Medicine Sect's basic refining rooms. How about you come again another day?"

"Wait?" The Great Sage immediately raised his eyebrows. "How can I?" "Now, this Saint has a burst of thoughts. If you affect the pill refining process then, do you think you can afford to pay for such a loss?"

After glancing at the guqin in the corner, she immediately came up with an idea, "Great Sage, don't worry. She just brought a little brat with her to the last refining room, now it should be about time, how about I take you to that refining room. That brat is so young, he knows how to refine pills, he probably came here to play around."

"Sister Pan, is this against the rules?" She immediately said.

"What's against the rules? Do you really think that brat is really an alchemist?" Moreover, his time is almost up. Give him a chance to get to know the Great Sage.

"Alright then, let's do it like this. Bring me there immediately."

Unless a brat had a status similar to his, there were only a handful of people that could be an alchemist within the sect. Moreover, it was his fortune to be able to give him a spot.

In the refining room, Ling Jian was still cultivating.

With the aid of the Bone Ablutionary Dan, Ling Jian advanced by leaps and bounds, and entered the fifth level of the Martial Dao!

From what he could sense, the originally lax meridians, weak muscles, and tired internal organs were all rapidly changing under the medicinal strength of the Bone Ablutionary Dan, becoming even more powerful. This effect was simply comparable to the effect of a hundred times tempering the body with a barrel.

A grade six Bone Ablutionary Dan was only the lowest quality among mid-grade pills. If it wasn't for the good body tempering effect, why would Ling Jian use it?
