After refining all the Qi Induction Pills, Ye Qingxuan prepared to begin refining Spirit Enhancement Pills!
Among the Spirit Medicine used for the Spirit Enhancement Pill, the most crucial main ingredient was the earth spirit flower.
The earth spirit flower had twelve petals of different colors, and each of the twelve colored petals contained the essence of the twelve major elements of the Di Xuan World.
This was also the main reason why the Spirit Enhancement Pill could be used by everyone and amplify the efficiency of Spiritual Root conversion.
The earth spirit flower had a wide range of uses; earth spirit flowers of different ages could serve as the main or auxiliary ingredient for various Medicinal Pills.
For instance, the earth spirit flower used in the Spirit Enhancement Pill was the lowest, one-year-old earth spirit flower.
It wasn't that higher-aged ones weren't used, but rather, if higher-aged earth spirit flowers were used, a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm simply couldn't withstand the overly vast medicinal power.
The so-called one-year-old didn't necessarily mean it had grown for one year; it referred to the medicinal power it contained.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi varied, and the time required for Spirit Medicine to accumulate one year's worth of medicinal power also varied.
In the Xuantian Mountain Range, the growth rate of Spirit Medicine was astonishing, not to mention the Blessed Lands controlled by the Blessed Cultivators of the Xuantian Sect.
Even a First-Tier Blessed Land, with its Spiritual Qi concentration influenced by other high-tier Spiritual Veins and the assistance of a Blessed Cultivator, its effect could rival Second-Tier or even Third-Tier Spiritual Lands in the outside world.
This was also one of the reasons why the Xuantian Sect vigorously developed Blessed Cultivators.
Ye Qingxuan took out the Spirit Medicine required for the Spirit Enhancement Pill and mentally reviewed the refining process of the Spirit Enhancement Pill.
After confirming everything was correct, he began the first refining attempt of the Spirit Enhancement Pill.
One after another, Spirit Medicine was introduced into the Pill Furnace at different times, slowly refined by Dao Fire.
It had to be said, refining the Spirit Enhancement Pill was indeed much more complex, as it required as many as seven types of Spirit Medicine!
That was four more types of Spirit Medicine than what was used for the Qi Induction Pill.
Furthermore, refining the Spirit Enhancement Pill had strict requirements for the Spirit Medicine's entry time into the furnace, refining time, and even the Fusion order and time.
If not for Ye Qingxuan's astonishing memory, coupled with his Perfection-level Controlling Fire Technique, he might have failed long ago.
Time flowed by, and Ye Qingxuan proceeded methodically according to the Spirit Enhancement Pill Formula's process.
Half an hour quickly passed, and Ye Qingxuan had already reached the stage of Spirit Medicine essence Fusion.
Under Ye Qingxuan's control, the essence transformed from the Spirit Medicine began to fuse in sequence, with extremely precise Fusion time and order!
As the Spirit Medicine essence began to fuse, the Pill Furnace gathered Spiritual Qi!
The originally simple Pill Furnace began to glow faintly, drawing and absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi, continuously pouring it into the fusing Spirit Medicine essence.
Seeing this, the corner of Ye Qingxuan's mouth curled slightly.
But the next second, the gathered Spiritual Qi suddenly became chaotic and dispersed, and the Spirit Medicine essence within the Pill Furnace instantly evaporated as a result!
Seeing this scene, Ye Qingxuan said in disbelief:
"How is this possible? There were clearly no mistakes, how could the Spirit Enhancement Pill's pill-forming process fail?"
Ye Qingxuan was puzzled, but he had no teacher to enlighten him at this moment.
The Xuantian Sect naturally had its own Pill Hall, where specialized personnel were available to answer questions for the Sect's Alchemists.
However, that required the collection of contribution points.
Unless Ye Qingxuan could pass the Pill Hall's assessment and join the Pill Hall, he could then gain some opportunities for free guidance.
To continuously gain Alchemy knowledge for free, one could only display astonishing Alchemy talent and become an Elder's Disciple in the Pill Hall; then, one would naturally receive strong cultivation from the Elder.
However, this was not the path Ye Qingxuan wished to take.
If he became an Elder's Disciple in the Pill Hall, he would not be allowed to become a Blessed Cultivator!
As a long-lived individual with low cultivation talent, becoming a Blessed Cultivator was Ye Qingxuan's best disguise.
The long Lifespan of a Blessed Cultivator would allow him to continue living discreetly in the Xuantian Sect, without worrying about his apparent Lifespan.
A temporary setback was not enough to shake Ye Qingxuan's chosen path!
"Even if I rely only on myself, I refuse to believe that with my Comprehension Ability, I cannot walk this path of Alchemy Cultivation!" Ye Qingxuan thought to himself, then took out the Spirit Enhancement Pill Formula and carefully read it again.
After confirming he made no mistakes, Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes tightly and began to recall every detail of the Alchemy process he observed with his Divine Sense.
He immersed himself in the previous Alchemy process, deeply comprehending his refining techniques.
As he watched the refining process replay in his mind, a sudden realization dawned on Ye Qingxuan:
"Too mechanical!"
That's right, his technique for refining Medicinal Pills was too mechanical.
After his realization, Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "So that's it!"
Although he strictly followed the Pill Formula for refining, his entire process was too mechanical, thus lacking a certain kind of variation.
If Medicinal Pills could be refined simply by strictly following the Pill Formula process, then how could the threshold for Alchemists be so high?
A Pill Formula could only provide an Alchemist with a general direction.
While following all the details of a Pill Formula could indeed produce Medicinal Pills, such details required identical environmental conditions.
Even differences in climate and weather would cause variations in the Alchemy details.
Therefore, to become a true Alchemist, one must comprehend these variations.
Only by gradually comprehending and mastering these variations can one become a true Alchemist!
After mastering these variations, using the Pill Formula as a blueprint, and adapting to external changes with flexibility, one can truly become an Alchemist.
This was also the key to refining High Grade Medicinal Pills!
The reason he was able to refine Qi Induction Pills before was simply because the Qi Induction Pill was of too Low Grade, with limited variations.
Therefore, Ye Qingxuan could successfully refine Qi Induction Pills using mechanical methods.
But the Spirit Enhancement Pill was different!
Although Medicinal Pills were divided into nine tiers, both the Qi Induction Pill and the Spirit Enhancement Pill were First-Tier Medicinal Pills.
However, Medicinal Pills of the same tier also had more detailed classifications, with each tier further subdivided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Supreme Grade, these four grades!
The Qi Induction Pill, when further subdivided, could only be considered a First-Tier Low Grade Medicinal Pill, whereas the Spirit Enhancement Pill was a First-Tier Supreme Grade Medicinal Pill.
This was also the reason why Ye Qingxuan found Qi Induction Pills to be rampant in the market.
Nothing else, it was simply because the refining difficulty of the First-Tier Low Grade Medicinal Pill, Qi Induction Pill, was too low.
Basically, as long as one memorized the Pill Formula and tried a few more times, refining Qi Induction Pills was not difficult for many Cultivators.
After all, after becoming a Cultivator, the body undergoes an all-round evolution, and everyone's memory is not bad.
And so-called Comprehension Ability Geniuses, like Ye Qingxuan, simply had a Soul Origin that was different from ordinary people, with a profound foundation, so the transformations brought about by Cultivation would also be much greater than ordinary people.
This was also the fundamental reason why Comprehension Ability Geniuses could always lead others in Comprehension Ability.
But if the Realm gap was too large, no matter how Heaven-Defying one's Comprehension Ability, a Low-Tier Cultivator could not compare to a Peak expert.
Did they really think that the Cultivation Realm others painstakingly Cultivated was for nothing? The qualitative change caused by quantitative change was equally extraordinary!
After Ye Qingxuan knew the reason for his failure in refining the Spirit Enhancement Pill, he did not choose to stop Alchemy.
Instead, after a period of meditation to recover his spiritual power, he started the furnace again to refine Medicinal Pills.
To truly comprehend and master these variations and make them his instinct, he needed to continuously gain insight through Alchemy.
It was impossible to master these variations by simply thinking hard on his own.
So, for the next few days, Ye Qingxuan kept trying to refine the Spirit Enhancement Pill.
Although each attempt ended in failure, Ye Qingxuan gained significant insights from each failure.
As his comprehension grew deeper and deeper.
Ye Qingxuan finally managed to refine the first batch of Spirit Enhancement Pills on the third day, albeit with some difficulty.
He still failed on the fourth day, but Ye Qingxuan was not discouraged; instead, the smile on his face gradually widened.
He succeeded in refining on the fifth day!
He succeeded in refining on the sixth day!
He failed in refining on the seventh day!
By the ninth day, as a batch of Spirit Enhancement Pills was successfully refined that day, yielding five pills, Ye Qingxuan finally completely mastered these variations.
From then on, Ye Qingxuan never failed again when refining Spirit Enhancement Pills.
Moreover, the number of pills formed also gradually increased as Ye Qingxuan's proficiency improved!
However, the Spirit Enhancement Pill was, after all, a First-Tier Supreme Grade Medicinal Pill, and the Spiritual Qi consumed by Ye Qingxuan at his current Realm to refine one batch was simply too much.
Therefore, in order not to affect his Cultivation, Ye Qingxuan would only refine one batch of Spirit Enhancement Pills per day in the future.
As the number of Spirit Enhancement Pills Ye Qingxuan refined increased, his Cultivation resources finally received ample supply.
From the previous thirty Spirit Enhancement Pills issued by the Sect per month, which averaged out to only one Spirit Enhancement Pill for Cultivation per day.
Now, Ye Qingxuan could consume three Spirit Enhancement Pills for Cultivation every day!
One Spirit Enhancement Pill could last for three hours, increasing Ye Qingxuan's Cultivation speed by two times within those three hours.
By consuming three Spirit Enhancement Pills daily, Ye Qingxuan's amplified Cultivation time increased from three hours to nine hours, which greatly boosted his Cultivation speed.
It wasn't that Ye Qingxuan didn't want to consume more Medicinal Pills, but rather that his body's Meridians couldn't withstand prolonged Spiritual Qi flushing.
However, during prolonged Cultivation, Ye Qingxuan's body's Meridians were not without gains; their endurance limit was also gradually increasing!
