After returning to his room, Ye Qingxuan activated the Formation of his courtyard to prevent anyone from disturbing him again.
Although the exchange with Su Daobin provided Ye Qingxuan with a lot of information, it did not affect the Dao he had already planned.
The disturbances from the outside world had nothing to do with him; he only needed to absorb useful information and integrate it into his planned Dao.
He would not change his Dao because of others.
The path, after all, must be walked by oneself, and the only one who can be trusted is oneself; the experiences of others can only be used for reference!
His heart returned to peace, and Ye Qingxuan took out the Pill Furnace he had purchased and began to refine it.
It took him half a day to refine and control the Medium Grade Magical Artifact Pill Furnace, and by then, it was already late at night.
Ye Qingxuan did not rush to Alchemy, but instead sat cross-legged, beginning to meditate and recover his consumed Spiritual Qi and Divine Sense!
It wasn't until the morning of the next day, after a night of recuperation, that Ye Qingxuan had adjusted his state to Peak, and only then did he take out the Pill Furnace again to begin Alchemy.
Cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm have too low a cultivation base to condense Dao Fire.
Therefore, for low-level Cultivators like Ye Qingxuan, Magical Artifact-grade Pill Furnaces all have a fire seed at the bottom and auxiliary control Formations engraved on their inner walls.
When used, one only needs to inject Spiritual Qi to activate it, and it can ignite Dao Fire to assist in Alchemy.
Ye Qingxuan took out a portion of Qi Induction Pill Spirit Medicine and placed it beside him, then activated the Pill Furnace's Dao Fire with Spiritual Qi, and finally used the Controlling Fire Technique, which he had only just learned, to slowly control the Dao Fire.
He did not rush to put the Spirit Medicine in for refining, but instead slowly maintained the Dao Fire with the Controlling Fire Technique, warming the Pill Furnace!
The method for refining Qi Induction Pills was already deeply ingrained in Ye Qingxuan's mind, so even though it was his first time doing Alchemy, Ye Qingxuan's heart remained incredibly calm!
When the Pill Furnace was sufficiently warmed, Ye Qingxuan then sequentially used Spiritual Qi to draw the Qi Induction Pill Spirit Medicine into the Pill Furnace.
At the same time, Ye Qingxuan's Divine Sense entered the Pill Furnace, observing the entire process of the Spirit Medicine melting.
Ordinary Cultivators below the Late Stage Qi Refining Realm do not possess Divine Sense, so they can only rely on Spiritual Qi perception and experience to control the heat when refining Medicinal Pills.
Therefore, Cultivators below the Late Stage Qi Refining Realm, no matter how good their Alchemy talent, cannot avoid making multiple mistakes.
The premature birth of his Divine Sense was one of Ye Qingxuan's advantages, and also one of the reasons he dared to attempt refining Medicinal Pills so early.
Sky Green Flower, Purple Spirit Grass, and Spirit Inducing Flower, these three Spirit Medicines used to refine Qi Induction Pills, have different heat resistances, so the order and timing of their introduction into the Pill Furnace are crucial.
After all, with Ye Qingxuan's current Realm, he could not meticulously create different temperatures in different areas within the Pill Furnace.
Under Ye Qingxuan's Divine Sense observation, the three Spirit Medicines were slowly refined by the Dao Fire, with Impurities being expelled one by one, leaving only the essence of the three Spirit Medicines fluctuating in the Pill Furnace's Dao Fire.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan's heart filled with joy!
When the time was ripe, Ye Qingxuan simultaneously focused on two tasks: on one hand, he manipulated the three streams of Spirit Medicine essence to slowly approach and fuse, and on the other hand, he increased the Spiritual Qi output, using the Controlling Fire Technique to gradually raise the temperature of the Dao Fire.
Time passed bit by bit, and the three streams of Spirit Medicine essence within the Pill Furnace began to intertwine and fuse; the entire Pill Furnace also began to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi, pouring it into the soon-to-be-fused Spirit Medicine essence.
"It seems it's almost done!"
Just as the Qi Induction Pill was about to take shape, and Ye Qingxuan thought success was imminent, the Dao Fire he controlled flickered slightly, and the temperature inside the Pill Furnace instantly changed.
Affected by the Dao Fire, the internal balance of the nearly formed Medicinal Pill was suddenly broken, and the entire Spirit Medicine essence began to riot.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan hurriedly increased the intensity of his Controlling Fire Technique, attempting to salvage the situation.
But when Ye Qingxuan used the Controlling Fire Technique, he found that he could no longer control the Dao Fire within the Pill Furnace.
Realizing that it was already beyond saving, Ye Qingxuan no longer forced it, calmly watching as the Spirit Medicine essence was incinerated by the Dao Fire.
Looking at the black smoke rising above the Pill Furnace, Ye Qingxuan was not disheartened, nor did he regret the loss of the Spirit Medicine; instead, he began to reflect on himself.
This Alchemy failure was not due to Ye Qingxuan not fully mastering the refining process of the Qi Induction Pill.
On the contrary, through this attempt, Ye Qingxuan knew that with his astonishing Comprehension Ability, the refining process he had memorized and comprehended in his mind was perfectly fine!
The main reason for this failure was that he had been too overconfident.
He thought that with his prematurely born Divine Sense and the extraordinary Comprehension Ability brought about by the transformation of his Soul Origin, he could easily refine Medicinal Pills.
But Ye Qingxuan overlooked his control over the Controlling Fire Technique and Spiritual Qi!
The Controlling Fire Technique is a Spell from the Alchemy Legacy; Ye Qingxuan had only practiced it a few times, and after getting a basic grasp of it, he hastily went out to purchase a Pill Furnace, preparing for Alchemy.
And Ye Qingxuan's control over Spiritual Qi was also very crude.
Ye Qingxuan spent five years in seclusion, mostly on meditating to improve his cultivation, and barely polished his Spiritual Qi or strengthened his control over his own Spiritual Qi.
This was also the main reason for this Alchemy failure:
Incorrect Spiritual Qi transmission led to an anomaly in the Dao Fire, causing it to gradually riot and escape Ye Qingxuan's control.
And the introductory Controlling Fire Technique could not control the rioting Dao Fire, causing him to be unable to salvage the out-of-control situation!
After realizing his problem, Ye Qingxuan reflected:
"Sharpening the axe does not delay chopping wood. It seems that in the future, I need to plan before acting! I should proceed slowly!"
A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. Although the problem exposed this time was small, it needed to be taken as a warning.
Otherwise, this time it was the loss of a furnace of Spirit Medicine; next time, who knows what will be lost.
Putting the Pill Furnace into his storage ring, Ye Qingxuan did not attempt to refine a second batch of Medicinal Pills.
Since he knew the reason for his failure, what he needed to do now was naturally to make up for his shortcomings!
Thus, for the next month, Ye Qingxuan did not attempt Alchemy again.
Apart from daily meditation and Cultivation, Ye Qingxuan spent the rest of his time practicing the Controlling Fire Technique, Sword Control Technique, and Spring Breeze Rain Transformation Technique!
The Controlling Fire Technique and Sword Control Technique were Spells that Ye Qingxuan needed to use immediately, so their practice time was prioritized.
As for the Spring Breeze Rain Transformation Technique, Ye Qingxuan was preparing it for the future development of his Blessed Cultivator; he didn't need it for now, so Ye Qingxuan only performed it a few times each day and didn't spend much time practicing it!
While practicing Spells, Ye Qingxuan's control over Spiritual Qi also continuously improved.
Just like that, for the next month, Ye Qingxuan was either meditating and cultivating in his room or practicing the Controlling Fire Technique!
Or he would practice the Sword Control Technique and Spring Breeze Rain Transformation Technique on the mountains around the Fu Xiu Institute!
The Xuantian Mountain Range is vast, and there were no Immortal Caves built by people around the Fu Xiu Institute, so Ye Qingxuan was not worried about disturbing others.
In just one month, the proficiency Rank of the three low-level Spells Ye Qingxuan had mastered advanced by leaps and bounds.
The Sword Control Technique and Controlling Fire Technique had already reached the Perfection Realm, and the Spring Breeze Rain Transformation Technique had also achieved Minor Achievement.
It must be said that although Ye Qingxuan was constrained by his Spiritual Root, leading to very slow Cultivation speed, his Comprehension Ability was indeed astonishing!
One month later!
Ye Qingxuan started the Pill Furnace again for Alchemy.
This time, the refining of the Qi Induction Pill went very smoothly; under Ye Qingxuan's Perfection-level Controlling Fire Technique, it was almost a natural success.
In the first furnace of Medicinal Pills, Ye Qingxuan produced five Medicinal Pills!
In the second furnace of Medicinal Pills, Ye Qing Qingxuan produced six Medicinal Pills!
In the third furnace of Medicinal Pills, Ye Qingxuan produced six Medicinal Pills!
However, Alchemy is extremely taxing on Spiritual Qi.
To avoid affecting his Cultivation, Ye Qingxuan would only refine three furnaces of Qi Induction Pills a day.
After ten days, Ye Qingxuan finally refined all twenty-nine portions of Qi Induction Pill Spirit Medicine into Medicinal Pills.
He refined a total of 230 Qi Induction Pills!
The reason he refined so many Qi Induction Pills was that as Ye Qingxuan's Alchemy proficiency continuously improved, in the later days, he had stabilized the yield of Qi Induction Pills per furnace to ten Medicinal Pills!
Thus, Ye Qingxuan's grand Alchemy undertaking finally stepped through its first threshold!
