Mortal Alchemy

Ten days later, Chen Ping improved rapidly and finally didn't blow up the furnace!

Instead, he completely melted the medicinal materials into a liquid essence.

The improvement was quite obvious.

"As expected, it's a matter of the strength of the alchemic fire!"

Chen Ping found the direction and perked up: "But even after the liquid essence turned to slag, it didn't condense into Qi Condensation Pills. Another batch of failed pills."

"The control of the fire and the refining time are related."

"Let's keep trying, there are still sixty-plus portions of medicinal materials left."

A month later.

"Finally!"

Chen Ping looked at the furnace with a slightly pale face, his eyes filled with joy.

After months of unremitting effort, he finally refined Qi Condensation Pills!

"Let's test the effect and taste!"

Opening the furnace, in the pill trough, were ten warm Qi Condensation Pills emitting faint white smoke.

He took a Qi Condensation Pill and put it in his mouth, sitting cross-legged to refine it.

That familiar feeling surged into his heart, making Chen Ping feel lighthearted: "The quality of this pill is good, the same as the ones sold in Myriad Treasures Pavilion."

The first Qi Condensation Pill Chen Ping took was from Li Erniu. The quality of that pill was relatively poor, and it was completely refined in less than three days.

The Qi Condensation Pills sold in Myriad Treasures Pavilion, on the other hand, took about five or six days.

Now, the Qi Condensation Pill Chen Ping refined himself took a full six days to digest, making him inevitably excited:

"My cultivation speed can finally keep up!"

After entering the fifth level of Qi training, his five-element mixed spiritual root cultivation speed had become as slow as a snail.

He hadn't tasted the flavor of Qi Condensation Pills for half a year.

When he had been refining for two or three days, he was already starving. Even though there were dozens of portions of Qi Condensation Pill materials behind him, he was unwilling to waste the medicinal power of the Qi Condensation Pills.

He stubbornly refined the pill, not eating or drinking anything for six days.

Chen Ping got up, but his vision almost blacked out, and he nearly fainted and fell to the ground, his body sending waves of weakness.

"Hungry... too hungry..."

Chen Ping's body was weak, and he could barely walk. Only then did he realize that he had almost forgotten to eat and sleep in the past few months to refine pills, and now he hadn't eaten or drunk for several days, his body was too weak to bear it.

He could only use his identity token to call a handyman disciple to help him out and take him to the Spirit Cuisine Hall to eat.

"Comfortable, I'm alive again." After Chen Ping had his fill, he returned to his own field for the third time and had a comfortable sleep.

"Continue!"

After a comfortable sleep, Chen Ping returned to the pill refining room without stopping.

He now understood why there was a bed and piles of garbage in Xu Fengshan's pill refining room.

Three or four hours later, Chen Ping successfully refined another furnace of Qi Condensation Pills.

But his face was pale, and he couldn't be happy at all, and he was even a little pessimistic.

"Refining one furnace of pills exhausts my spiritual sense and spiritual power..."

Even if he completes the task every day, and submits thirty furnaces of pills every month, and takes two days off at the end of the month...

Even if he could refine spiritual sense pills to make money, he would have no time to cultivate, let alone cultivate to the eighteenth level of Qi training before the age of forty to prepare for foundation building.

In the end, he would end up like Xu Fengshan, being bled dry by the Mu family for the rest of his life.

And this point, I'm afraid, was calculated by the Mu family long ago.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping felt a little despair.

At home, he was exploited as a cowherd, and here he is exploited to refine pills for a lifetime, without a carefree future.

Then his fate has not changed since he entered the Mu family.

"No!"
