Chapter 494: Chapter 178: The Spirit Pill Contains Spirit! The Heavenly Pulse Undergoes Metamorphosis!_3

“`

“Indeed.” After checking everything once more and confirming there were no errors, Su Changkong nodded, packed the jade boxes containing the spiritual medicine into his bag, and left.

“Brother Blade, if you need anything next time, feel free to come to Feiyun Pavilion!”

Tang Ming stood up to see him off and gave Su Changkong a reminder. A wealthy and generous repeat customer like this had to be retained.

Carrying his bag, Su Changkong left Feiyun Pavilion and paid close attention to his surroundings as he went, ensuring that no one was secretly following him.

Feiyun Pavilion, being a large and well-established business, was certainly not about to do anything that would destroy their reputation!

With the spiritual medicine he had purchased, Su Changkong made his way back to Spirit Taoist Sect.

In the residence where Su Changkong lived, he had already set up a dedicated Pill Refining Room.

“Spirit Containment Pill, take the roots of the Three-Leaf Spirit Flower, the flesh of the Three-Flower Spirit Fruit, mix and grind… Soak in Rootless Spirit Water for one day.”

Su Changkong immediately began the preparation of the Spirit Containment Pill, first processing the herbs according to the steps on the pill recipe.

Before refining, Su Changkong also refined a few furnaces of Dragon Blood Pills to get a feel for alchemy, which he hadn’t practiced in a long while.

Su Changkong currently had nine crystal cores from demon monsters, as well as the pill recipe for the Monster Life Pill that extended life.

However, this sort of life-extending pill medicine was extraordinary; aside from requiring crystal cores from demon monsters, the other medicinal ingredients were also exceptionally rare and hard to come by.

Additionally, the difficulty of refinement was extremely high. Even if he could gather enough materials, Su Changkong wasn’t certain he would succeed within ten attempts. Therefore, Su Changkong decided to first increase his strength! As he did so, his alchemy skills would gradually improve, and his confidence in successfully refining the life-extending Monster Life Pill in the future would also increase!

“Start the Pill Furnace!”

After prepation, Su Changkong immediately began refining the Spirit Containment Pill. The Star Pattern Gold Alchemy Furnace sparkled with a silvery light amidst the flames, casting a magnificent sight. Su Changkong added in the various processed spiritual medicines, focusing intently on every step.

“Crack!”

Many hours later, a crisp explosive sound echoed from within the pill furnace, and the spiritual energy in the room became chaotically disrupted. Su Changkong knew he had failed!

But this was within his expectations. The Spirit Containment Pill was categorized as a Spirit Pill, which was extremely difficult. Even though Su Changkong’s alchemy skill had reached the eighth realm, failure in the first attempt was too common.

Adding one portion of herbs after another, Su Changkong failed time and again, constantly gathering experience and lessons, improving upon his shortcomings, striving for perfection.

Finally, after using up the sixth portion of herbs, he succeeded on the seventh furnace!

“Humming!”

The Star Pattern Gold Alchemy Furnace vibrated gently, and a rich but not overpowering medicinal fragrance filled the room, turning the Pill Refining Room into an ethereal realm shrouded in misty clouds.

“It’s done!”

Su Changkong was delighted, took a deep breath, and opened the lid of the pill furnace. Inside lay a pill the size of a fingertip.

This pill was a light green, resembling a carved piece of jade. On closer inspection, faint white clouds could be seen on it, and even the movement of cloud-like spiritual energy inside was visible. Smelling its fragrance gave Su Changkong a sense of salivation, and all his cells conveyed a longing desire!

This was the Spirit Containment Pill meant for Innate Martial Artists to consume!

In reality, ordinary Innate Martial Artists couldn’t afford it at all, and only some top sect-born Innate Martial Artists had the chance to receive a little.

Although only one Spirit Containment Pill was refined in this batch, having successfully produced the first pill, Su Changkong felt confident about refining the second furnace.

“`

Su Changkong took out a jade bottle and placed the refined Spirit Containment Pills inside, then continued to start the Pill Furnace for alchemy, using up the ten portions of medicinal materials he had on hand.

And the results greatly satisfied Su Changkong.

On the tenth portion of medicinal materials, Su Changkong once again successfully produced pills, and it was a furnace that yielded two pills!

“Three Spirit Containment Pills…”

Cradling the jade bottle in his hand, Su Changkong also reflected inwardly. These three Spirit Containment Pills were what he obtained by spending all of his savings, a total of 1,000 Spirit Stones.

“Let’s see how effective they are.”

In the Cultivation Room, Su Changkong directly took out a jade-like Spirit Containment Pill and swallowed it.

Whoosh!

As the Pill Medicine was refined and dissipated, a pure medicinal power spread throughout his body, absorbed by Su Changkong’s body. He could clearly feel as if countless gentle Spiritual Energies were flowing inside him, strengthening his muscles and bones and making him more powerful!

“This effect… indeed, it’s good! It directly saves the most time-consuming and laborious process of refining nature’s spiritual energy through the Heavenly Pulse. This pure medicinal power is like gentle Spiritual Energy, which can be directly absorbed by the body!”

Su Changkong couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

The practice of an Innate Martial Artist relies on refining nature’s spiritual energy through the Heavenly Pulse. Su Changkong’s single Heavenly Pulse did not refine Spiritual Energy faster than other martial artists. Even if he gathered more Spiritual Energy, the efficiency was still the same; it could not be sped up.

But these Spirit Containment Pills were equivalent to refined Spiritual Energy, which could be directly absorbed by the body, saving the process of refining through the Heavenly Pulse and greatly saving time. Thus, they could make the progress of an Innate Martial Artist increase exponentially!

“Three Spirit Containment Pills, they should be able to help me open the second Heavenly Pulse, right?”

Su Changkong thought to himself as he focused on refining the medicinal power.

Above Su Changkong’s head, an azure Human Flower phantom bloomed, becoming more solid. A shadow of one of Su Changkong’s Heavenly Pulses also faintly emerged, penetrating his body throughout.

As the Spiritual Energy flowed within his body, every inch of his flesh appeared crystal clear and translucent, like a flawless piece of jade.

Having refined the first Spirit Containment Pill, which took Su Changkong nearly half a month, he could clearly sense that his physical body had absorbed a great amount of Spiritual Energy. Whether it was speed or strength, the toughness of his meridians had improved significantly from a month ago.

Without hesitation, Su Changkong consecutively refined the second and third pills.

Two months swiftly passed by!

In the Cultivation Room, Su Changkong sat peacefully in meditation. His skin seemed to be encompassed by an invisible layer of Spiritual Energy, and each inch of his muscles and bones emitted a faint glow, as if a deity had descended to earth.

Within Su Changkong, a second main meridian vibrated, emitting a dazzling spiritual light as though a great dragon was awakening. A sensation filled with power spread throughout his body!

Su Changkong could clearly feel that his ‘Essence’ was more abundant, able to go without sleep or rest indefinitely without feeling the slightest bit of fatigue.

“The second Heavenly Pulse has been opened.”

Su Changkong let out a breath and sighed with satisfaction.

In two months, by refining three Spirit Containment Pills, Su Changkong successfully transformed the second main meridian, opening the second Heavenly Pulse!

Once the twelve main meridians of the human body are completely transformed into Heavenly Pulses, one can reach the peak state of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. Essence Qi Spirit will be at its pinnacle. Advancing one step further is the realm of Five Qi towards the Yuan, achieving the Master Realm where one can dominate the Innate Realm and establish one’s own sect!
