CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 196 IMMORTAL DAO ASPIRATION

These little trinkets are naturally of no use in combat, but for serving tea and water, doing simple tasks, there is no problem.

You need to spend Spirit Stones to activate the Puppet Beasts?

Having cultivated to this point, Li Yunjing naturally is not lacking in Low Grade Spirit Stones.

He possesses sufficient wealth to satisfy his needs in researching Puppet Mechanism Beasts in this money-burning technique.

That afternoon, after researching "Puppetry" to a satisfactory point, with no further advancements likely in the short term, Li Yunjing put away the small Puppet Mechanism Beasts.

To him, they are merely little toys.

After completing the research, Li Yunjing no longer paid attention to them.

He left the cabin and took a walk on the deck, the vast sea stretched endlessly, and it was uncertain how long the voyage would take.

He had a casual chat with a few people from the "Haitao Sect" and learned that it would take at least one more day before they reached the edge of the "Quirky Rock Sea Region".

This made Li Yunjing decide to not waste any more time.

He returned to the cabin again and saw Yu Yunyi still meditating and practicing Qi Cultivation, so he didn’t disturb her.

Li Yunjing took out a captured Pill Furnace.

This Pill Furnace was of very low grade, merely at the Middle Grade Magical Artifact level.

As it is known, in the Cultivation Realm, Pill Furnaces are very expensive, far exceeding the price of offensive and defensive Magical Artifacts of the same level.

This Pill Furnace is even more expensive than any High Grade Magical Artifact.

This is also the only Pill Furnace Li Yunjing captured after killing hundreds of the Thirteen Flying Eagles.

Apparently, there were no Alchemy Masters among the Thirteen Flying Eagles.

To pass the idle time, Li Yunjing rummaged through some Spirit Grass and Spirit Plants.

These herbs were the lowest grade, the main and auxiliary ingredients for refining Grain Avoidance Pills.

According to the records in "Alchemy Technique Basics," Li Yunjing carefully recalled the methods and key points for refining Grain Avoidance Pills.

"This thing is not difficult at all!"

He meticulously ran the calculation in his mind three times. With his intelligence, Li Yunjing felt confident.

However, since it was his first time actually doing it, he became more cautious.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Li Yunjing ignited the fire with the "Fire of the Three Yang".

He cleaned the Pill Furnace and ensured it was pristine and free of impurities before placing it on the "Fire of the Three Yang" to heat it up.

On the bed, Yu Yunyi curiously opened her eyes, watching Li Yunjing’s actions.

How could she not know that Li Yunjing was preparing to start alchemy!

Yu Yunyi was truly curious whether Li Yunjing could actually refine pills.

Li Yunjing, very focused on his work, noticed Yu Yunyi had awakened but was too busy to talk to her.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he had more than a dozen kinds of herbs in front of him.

Li Yunjing began to combine the herbs in a specific ratio, sequentially adding these Spirit Grasses to the Pill Furnace.

This also required precision!

The timing for adding each herb to the Pill Furnace varied.

Coming from an alchemical family, Yu Yunyi had been involved with alchemy since childhood.

At this moment, watching Li Yunjing’s operation, she nodded secretly, noting there were no mistakes.

The standards were met to the extreme!

Compared to refining high-grade Elixirs, the Grain Avoidance Pill was much simpler.

Li Yunjing controlled the temperature of the "Fire of the Three Yang," allowing the flames to fully envelop the entire Pill Furnace.

Yu Yunyi’s bright black eyes looked intently at Li Yunjing’s meticulous movements. So far, everything was perfectly standard, without any flaws.

Since it was Li Yunjing’s first attempt at refining Elixirs, he remained solemn and extremely cautious.

The recorded alchemy process in the book, whether it’s the temperature of the fire or the order of adding the herbs, Li Yunjing followed strictly according to the instructions.

"Crackle!"

The flames wrapped around the Pill Furnace, heating the bronze-colored Pill Furnace until it turned red-hot.

Li Yunjing’s Divine Thought constantly adjusted the temperature of the Pill Furnace and monitored the changes in the herbs’ properties.

The alchemy process is ever-changing, and a single breath could change the outcome.

The more critical the refining, the more careful one must be.

Even a slight mistake could cause the furnace to explode.

Of course, with the herbal power of the Grain Avoidance Pill, it wouldn’t be enough to cause an explosion; this level of energy couldn’t shatter a Middle Grade Pill Furnace.

However, ruining a batch of herbs and failing the refining process wasn’t avoidable.

Thus, precision and patience became the basic requirements for an Alchemy Master.

Li Yunjing’s refining techniques were extremely precise, each step done to perfection.

A quarter of an hour later, the Pill Furnace began to emit a medicinal fragrance.

Judging from the changes in fragrance and comparing it to the book’s records, a slight smile appeared on Li Yunjing’s lips; the scent was extraordinarily pure.

This indicated that this batch of Grain Avoidance Pills was about to be completed.

This was indeed the first batch of Elixirs Li Yunjing had refined!

At this critical juncture, maintaining a calm demeanor was essential.

Li Yunjing still looked composed and unhurried, fully controlling the changes inside the Pill Furnace without a trace of neglect.

At this point, Yu Yunyi was so surprised that she stood up from the bed and moved three feet closer to Li Yunjing, closely observing the changes within the Pill Furnace.

Alchemy is a meticulous and slow process, and both Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi had ample patience.

Half an hour later, Li Yunjing finally made his move.

The sustained "Fire of the Three Yang" was withdrawn into his palm, no longer fueling the fire.

"Bang!"

Immediately, Li Yunjing opened the lid of the furnace, and in an instant, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the surroundings.
