Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 625

Chapter 625: Chapter 267 Finally Entering the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, The Refinement of Heart Completed! (10,000 words, double chapter)_3

Su Xing felt a bit surprised. Even a sect like the Qingyun Sect would lack Huanxin Xuandan?

But after some thought, it made sense.

“After all, the Qingyun Sect has many disciples, and Huanxin Xuandan is difficult to refine, yet extremely important for Tribulation Stage disciples… I guess everyone wants to exchange for it to increase their chances of breaking through the Heart Refinement Barrier…”

Su Xing pondered a moment, then muttered:

“Given the scale of the Qingyun Sect, the number of cultivators crossing the tribulation each year must be no fewer than eight hundred or a thousand… naturally, there would be a wait.”

“But it’s better to refine it myself!”

“If it was the old me, I might find it difficult to refine ninth-tier elixirs. But now that I have the support of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, I might be able to create top-tier ninth-tier elixirs…”

Su Xing thought to himself, looking at the simulation panel.

[After obtaining Huanxin Grass, you now have all the herbs needed to refine Huanxin Xuandan.]

[With more than twenty years of accumulation, your Great Wisdom State can last about a year.]

[You decided to spend four hours each day meticulously refining a batch of Huanxin Xuandan…]

[In the first month, you refined eighteen batches of Huanxin Xuandan, and they all failed without exception.]

[But you became greatly familiar with the properties and refining steps of Huanxin Xuandan, feeling your Alchemy Skills improve rapidly.]

[In the second month, you continued to refine fifteen batches of Huanxin Xuandan, all failed, and you summarized your experience.]

[In the third month, you refined ten batches of Huanxin Xuandan, successfully refining one batch, feeling that you were gradually getting the hang of it.]

[In the fourth month, you refined seven batches of Huanxin Xuandan, successfully refining two batches, finally getting started on refining Huanxin Xuandan.]

[After four consecutive months of refining elixirs, you felt your Alchemy Skills had improved significantly, so you decided to fully digest those refining insights before continuing.]

[Thus, a year passed.]

[On the twenty-second year, you purchased a lot of new Huanxin Grass and Snow Lotus, preparing to continue refining.]

[You spent three months refining over twenty batches of Huanxin Xuandan, feeling your progress quicken, nearly reaching the minor achievement level.]

[In the twenty-third year, you refined forty batches of Huanxin Xuandan, finally attaining a minor achievement level in understanding it.]

[By now, you were able to refine standard-quality Huanxin Xuandan, but you were still not satisfied. If you could obtain top-tier Huanxin Xuandan,]

[It could increase your chances by one and a half times when crossing the Heart Refinement Barrier!]

Su Xing sighed and said:

“Ah, one and a half chances aren’t low!”

“Even ordinary cultivators would risk life and limb for this half-percent chance…”

Su Xing pondered for a moment.

The Heart Refinement Barrier, among the six barriers of Divinity Transformation, was considered one of the more difficult ones.

For ordinary cultivators, the success rate of Heart Refinement was about forty or fifty percent.

If they failed, even after a hundred years, the chances of succeeding in a second attempt would be halved.

But Su Xing, having passed the “Five Boundaries of Divinity Transformation” during the Divinity Transformation Stage, had a steadfast mind and an eighty percent success rate.

Considering a top-tier Huanxin Xuandan, the success rate would be about ninety-five percent.

“Even a ninety-five percent success rate… still brings the risk of failure!”

Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered:

“If it doesn’t work, preparing a few more top-tier Huanxin Xuandan should give me a ninety-nine percent chance, right?”

Su Xing cautiously thought five or six top-tier Huanxin Xuandan would be safer.

Of course, ordinary cultivators would not waste them like this, as the effect of Huanxin Xuandan was best with the first pill, with the second pill being only ten percent as effective, and so on diminishing progressively…

“If it doesn’t work out, I will have to waste this simulation opportunity…”

Su Xing felt that a ninety-nine percent chance was worth risking!

Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.

[In the twenty-fourth year, you continued to refine Huanxin Xuandan, forming eleven pills, none of which were top-tier.]

[Your proficiency with Huanxin Xuandan increased slightly…]

[In the twenty-fifth year, you formed thirteen pills, none of which were top-tier, and your Alchemy Skills improved slightly…]

[Thus, five more years passed.]

[By the thirtieth year, your success rate for refining Huanxin Xuandan had reached over ninety percent, nearing a great achievement level.]

[In the thirty-third year, you refined thirty-seven batches of Huanxin Xuandan, successfully making eleven top-tier pills!]

[You reached a great achievement level in the skill of refining Huanxin Xuandan!]

[By now, you were ready to undergo the Heart Refinement Tribulation.]

[But for safety, you consulted Immortal Ziling for her experience in crossing the Heart Refinement Tribulation.]

[Immortal Ziling told you that her special physique made her free from Heart Demons during Heart Refinement, so she had no experience to share…]

In the real world, Su Xing rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said:

“Damn, such an absurd thing exists?”

“A special physique… skipping one of the five Boundaries of Divinity Transformation? The advantage of this special physique is too great!”

Su Xing shook his head, feeling a bit helpless.

“Well, let’s take a chance!”

He looked at the simulation panel.

[After bidding farewell to Immortal Ziling, you announced your seclusion.]

[You returned to your cave dwelling, nurturing flowers and plants daily, cultivating yourself…]

[In the thirty-fourth year, one day you performed a divination, and seeing an auspicious omen, you decisively prepared for the Heart Refinement Trial!]

[You sat in your cave, with a mind as clear as a mirror, your entire mental state serene.]

[You took out a handful of top-tier Huanxin Xuandan and swallowed them.]

[Your mind gradually stabilized, your spiritual senses expanded infinitely… your thoughts drifted far away.]

[Your consciousness gradually faded…]

[When you opened your eyes again, you had lost all your memories.]
