C5 Body Pill Without Fire, Origin Energy to Form a Pill!
The Vice Principal's face was a picture of astonishment as he fixed his gaze on Feng Zhentian. Deep inside, he was profoundly shaken. He was, after all, one of the rare second-grade Alchemists in Maple Falling Town, particularly adept at crafting Body Refining Pills.
His finesse with flame control was so precise that he was the only one in Maple Falling Town who boasted a sixty percent success rate.
Yet, at an Alchemist Exchange he once attended, a venerable elder had mentioned that the sole method to guarantee a one hundred percent success rate in refining Body Refining Pills was through the use of vitality. Despite numerous attempts, he had never once succeeded.
Now, to hear Feng Zhentian speak of using vitality in the refinement process was nothing short of astounding.
"Where did you come across such a technique?" In his urgency, the Vice Principal disregarded his status and rose to question Feng Zhentian.
Feng Zhentian responded with a smirk of disdain. "Ha, it seems I've got it right once more!"
"Yes, yes, it's coming back to me now. I recall an ancient tome that discussed the intricacies of refining Body Refining Pills. It stated, 'The Body Refining Pill requires no fire; vitality alone will forge the pill.'" Ms. Wang's face lit up with the dawning of understanding, her expression one of disbelief mixed with utter seriousness, and a hint of excitement she couldn't quite hide.
The students were dumbfounded. Those who resented and envied Feng Zhentian questioned, "Teacher, why wasn't this mentioned in the book?"
Ms. Wang's gaze on Feng Zhentian was intense and solemn. "Because this wisdom transcends what is written in books. It's derived from the accumulated experience of advanced Alchemists and has yet to be compiled into our textbooks."
The students gasped, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at Feng Zhentian. This was the kind of knowledge only a seasoned Alchemist would possess. How could Feng Zhentian, whom they deemed a fool, possibly know this?
In truth, the most surprised of all was the Vice Principal. Yet, out of concern for his own dignity, he refrained from further questioning. With a heavy, uncertain look, he watched Feng Zhentian, his initial disdain giving way to a newfound respect. "Ms. Wang, please proceed with the third question. Let's use the Body Breaking Pill as an example. It will be a more challenging test."
The Vice Principal's comment left Ms. Wang visibly stunned. She thought the question posed an unfair challenge to Feng Zhentian; she doubted even her own ability to answer it. While the textbooks did cover the topic, successful cases were exceedingly rare.
The Body Breaking Pill is an essential elixir for advancing through the Body Refining Stage. At the pinnacle of this stage, one must transform the body's accumulated power into Vital Energy and confine it within the Dantian to create a Vital Energy Vortex.
The transformation from raw power to Vital Energy requires the aid of the Body Breaking Pill. This pill effortlessly converts power into Vital Energy, which the practitioner then directs into the Dantian. There, it is compressed, and with the residual power of the pill, the Vital Energy is forcibly shaped into a vortex. This vortex draws in external Vital Energy, culminating in the attainment of the Qi Gathering Stage.
Given its role, the Body Breaking Pill is both incredibly valuable and notoriously difficult to concoct. Too little potency renders it useless, while too much can rupture the body's meridians. Achieving the perfect balance of medicinal strength is a task that even the Vice Principal approaches with limited confidence.
"May I ask, are you interested in learning about the various methods to refine the Body Breaking Pill?"
Ms. Wang's concerns about the complexity of the question were still hanging in the air when Feng Zhentian's mocking tone broke through, astonishing everyone gathered once more.
