Successfully refining the first Sixth-Level Elixir, Xu Feng paused for a moment. First, he was extremely exhausted and could not continue; second, the formation of this Sixth-Level Elixir involved a complex process that required further summarization and improvement.
That night, Xu Feng consumed the first Sixth-Level Elixir he had personally refined and recorded the effects of the elixir, making corresponding notes for improvement. This elixir was similar to the Sixth Level elixirs in his inventory, with slightly increased potency, though not significantly so. Overall, it was considered a decent Sixth Level elixir.
However, this alone clearly did not meet Da Feng's requirements. Xu Feng aimed for a one hundred percent success rate and a quality that far exceeded similar products, like the Super Spirit Pill.
While adjusting his breathing, Xu Feng summarized the gains and losses of his Alchemy practice.
The night quickly passed.
The next day, Xu Feng checked the Tear Vine in the Blue and White Porcelain. This old vine was indeed calm; after a night of nurturing, it had yet to bloom or bear fruit, not even producing any leaves. However, it was reassuring that the once dull vine had gained some green hues, and two nodes had begun to swell, seemingly indicating signs of budding.
As long as there were results, Xu Feng understood that even someone like Shen Gongzi had been helpless with this Tear Vine. The fact that it showed improvement was already quite remarkable; as for when it would sprout new shoots, he could only wait.
Leaving the Tear Vine in the Blue and White Porcelain, Xu Feng took out the Four Dragon Alchemy Furnace. Using Qiu Xiuqi's formula for the Dragon Tiger Pill, he refined three batches of Dragon Tiger Pill, totaling twelve pills. The Dragon Tiger Pill was equivalent to a Foundation Pill, and consuming too many would be unbeneficial; these twelve pills were sufficient for three people. He then refined five hundred Yuan Ling Dan, which he sent along with the Dragon Tiger Pill to Lin Shaocong, asking him to arrange for easy consumption by the three individuals.
In the following days, Xu Feng continued experimenting with the Sixth-Level Elixir. After achieving initial success, his alchemical process became much smoother. After three hours of work, he finally found a way to improve his success rate, raising it to ninety percent. Generally speaking, out of five batches refined, only one would be a failure. This ratio was something even Qin Mingyue might struggle to achieve.
Having resolved the issue of success rates, he then modified the formula to change the composition of the Concentration Pill into that of the Yuan Ling Dan. This was a technical task that Xu Feng had been unable to accomplish before. However, after training with Qiu Xiuqi, he grasped many principles regarding medicinal property conversion. That day, he personally requested a medicinal property conversion experiment from Qiu Xiuqi, which was successful.
In fact, any qualified Intermediate Pill King could perform property conversions in formulas. Despite being an amateur in this field, relying on his exceptional talent, Xu Feng managed to produce a Fifth-Rank Pill, elevating himself to an Intermediate Pill King. However, there were still significant gaps in his foundational knowledge of alchemy. Without the patient guidance from Qiu Xiuqi, he would still be at a loss.
The main reason why Qiu Xiuqi was reluctant to refine the Yuan Ling Dan was due to its high cost and lack of profitability. For Xu Feng, however, such concerns were non-existent; any problem solvable by money posed no issue for him.
According to the ranking system of alchemy in the Liuxiang Kingdom 's Dan Dao realm, having refined a Sixth-Level Concentration Pill, Xu Feng had already ascended to an advanced level of Dan Wang . Following in the footsteps of Qin Mingyue, Yu Genwei, and Huafei Hua, he became the fourth practitioner from Liuxiang Kingdom to advance to an advanced Dan Wang .
Changing medicinal properties is actually quite simple; it involves altering the attributes of key medicinal properties within a formula. This concept is easy to understand: catalysts determine direction, and direction determines properties. However, managing the series of changes in medicinal potency caused by altering catalysts is not something just anyone can control.
After another three days and numerous experiments, Xu Feng finally obtained the formula for the Yuan Ling Dan made from Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth and Wood Element herbs.
The experiments were not over yet; after refining Yuan Ling Dan at the sixth level, he once again modified the formula as he needed to prepare his own Super Spirit Pill .
This time it was much simpler; all he needed to do was increase both the dosage and age of the core medicinal materials used.
Two more days passed, and Xu Feng successfully refined his first batch of Super Spirit Pills.
After numerous trials and the use of over a dozen four-hundred-year-old herbs, Xu Feng finally developed his unique Super Spirit Pill. This pill, when compared to others, was worth at least five times its counterparts, effectively doubling its potency.
One pill was equivalent to two!
On the tenth day, Xu Feng received two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news.
The first piece of good news was that the Tear Vine, after being nurtured in Blue and White Porcelain for ten days, finally opened a crack at two nodes and sprouted two tender green buds. Although they were just two budding green points, it meant one thing: the Tear Vine was alive.
Xu Feng decisively removed the Tear Vine and replaced it with other urgently needed herbs. Since the Tear Vine had survived, he could report this to Shen Gongzi; Xu Feng had only aimed to revive it, not necessarily to raise it fully.
With these two green buds, it would not be difficult for Shen Gongzi to heal.
The second piece of good news was that after a rapid breakthrough over forty days, following Yi Jiuzhou, Gao Jingsong and Lin Fangxin also reached the perfect stage of Foundation Establishment. The three only needed an opportunity to advance to Golden Core.
The bad news was that a disciple from the Lin family at the Foundation Establishment Stage blindly consumed two Super Spirit Pills without guidance, resulting in a meridian explosion and death.
After resolving the technical issues with the Super Sixth Level Yuan Ling Dan, Xu Feng practiced diligently for three days to adjust his internal spiritual energy and summarize his Alchemy techniques. During this time, he consumed all the trial pills he had prepared.
Once he adjusted his state, Xu Feng began mass-producing his Super Sixth Level Yuan Spirit Pills. In no time, he produced two hundred and ten Super Sixth Level Yuan Spirit Pills at a rate of thirty pills per day.
The progress of Yi Jiuzhou and the others was faster than Xu Feng had anticipated. Initially planned for three months to advance to Golden Core, they had achieved full spiritual power in less than two months and were just one step away from their breakthrough. Based on Xu Feng's experience, barring any accidents, they would surely advance to Golden Core within another ten days or so.
The three had consumed around nine thousand Super Spirit Pills in total—a staggering number that saved them countless years of cultivation time.
Xu Feng's production of Super Sixth Level Yuan Spirit Pills was kept secret. Lin Shaocong knew about Xu Feng's work in Alchemy and cultivation but was unaware that Xu Feng was refining the incredibly rare Sixth-Level Elixir from Liuxiang Kingdom. He couldn't have known because Xu Feng intentionally kept it from him; moreover, given the sheer volume of Fifth-Level Spirit Pills Xu Feng had provided, who would suspect he also had time to refine Sixth-Level Elixirs?
On the fiftieth day of their seclusion, Xu Feng packed up his belongings and left.
Refining Sixth-Level Elixirs was too alarming; if word got out, major sects would be clamoring for Xu Feng's services. Even if they couldn't hire him directly, countless orders would flood in. Xu Feng wasn't lacking money but rather strength; with three Vice Leaders on the verge of achieving Golden Core status, he needed to elevate his own realm quickly to reach Golden Core Mid-Stage as soon as possible.
As long as he reaches the Golden Core Mid-Stage, Xu Feng will become the top individual under Yuan Ying of the Liuxiang Kingdom. Even a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator would be unable to deal with him. By then, Xu Feng's Koukou Group will be able to soar and stand out among others.
Carrying two hundred Super Sixth Level Yuan Spirit Pills, Xu Feng flew towards the Beast Wasteland. Before leaving, he greeted Lin Shaocong and informed him that he would return in ten days.
This time, Xu Feng did not use the Wings of the Strange Dragon; instead, he released his Flying Sword and rushed back to the Beast Wasteland at the fastest speed, taking less than two hours.
The Pangolin and White Eagle were still guarding the Cliff. Upon seeing Xu Feng return, they immediately approached him eagerly. Xu Feng distributed the few dozen Beast Origin Pills he had to the Pangolin and White Eagle, making both creatures dizzy with joy.
A Qi quickly returned after receiving the news. Now a Seventh-Level Monster, it rarely appeared in this area, only coming back occasionally to guard Jin Liaoyuan's remains.
Respecting the deceased, A Qi had no intention of moving Jin Liaoyuan's body.
Xu Feng had two purposes for returning to the Beast Wasteland: first, to create a diversion and give Shen Gongzi a false impression, preventing him from uncovering his true capabilities; second, to break through to the Golden Core Mid-Stage.
After listening to Xu Feng's introduction, A Qi pondered and said, "A follower of someone at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul? The Liuxiang Kingdom definitely doesn't have such individuals. However, there's no need to worry; people with that level of power won't act recklessly in Liuxiang Kingdom."
"Why not?"
"Because they don't dare."
"Dare not?" Xu Feng was surprised by A Qi's answer. "Who could possibly control them?"
A Qi replied, "I didn't understand before, but since reaching level seven, my perception has become clearer. I've realized many things, such as why high-level monsters rarely cross boundaries, why no one from Zheguo has taken over Liuxiang Kingdom over the years, and why Liuxiang Kingdom's strength has never improved."
Following A Qi's line of thought, Xu Feng considered it and found it plausible. "What have you figured out?"
"There is a powerful being controlling Liuxiang Kingdom. This person protects Liuxiang Kingdom but also restricts its development," A Qi stated confidently.
Xu Feng couldn't help but nod in agreement. The Jingcheng Auction was so powerful yet strictly controlled what they auctioned; not even a single magical item was available for sale, which was quite unreasonable.
However, these matters could be set aside for now. After discussing Shen Gongzi with A Qi for a while, Xu Feng began his cultivation.
Due to the upcoming delivery to Shen Gongzi, Xu Feng only had a limited amount of time for cultivation. The two hundred Sixth Level Yuan Ling Dan in his hands were sufficient.
Super Sixth Level pills were swallowed one after another.
While Xu Feng was racing against time in his cultivation, in a private room of Jingcheng Auction, Shen Gongzi was savoring tea. Qin Mingyue had already left, and beside him was Chen Si.
"Young Master, Xu Feng has gone to the Beast Wasteland; perhaps his master is hiding there," A Si said, having somehow grasped Xu Feng's whereabouts.
Shen Gongzi replied calmly, "I only care about the outcome; how he does it is not important."
A Si continued, "What if..."
"Everyone has their own fortune. We traveled through various countries but couldn't save Tear Vine. If it truly cannot be revived, for Father's sake, I will have no choice but to marry Xu Wushuang."
"Young Master, Sister Xu actually treats you well; why must you..."
"She treats me well, but she is not the woman I desire."
