Chapter 119: Attacking the Golden Pill

The environment on the top of the mountain is an ideal place for Shi Chen to form the elixir. The five elements of spiritual energy are abundant and full. Once he condenses his spiritual power and prepares the Jinyuan Pill, he can start to form the elixir.

During his four years of training on the mountaintop of Shenguang Island, Shi Chen also studied the Jinyuan Pill formula in depth during his free time. Although he had never formally refined it, he had already memorized the contents of the formula.

With Shi Chen's attainments in alchemy and after studying the recipe of Jinyuan Dan, he was confident that he could successfully refine a batch of pills within fifteen furnaces.

After taking out the alchemy furnace, cleaning it, and warming it up, Shi Chen began to develop the Jinyuan Pill.

The first furnace was to purify the spiritual medicine. The purification method for the second-level high-end spiritual medicine was more complicated, but as an experienced alchemist, Shi Chen purified the liquid medicine without any mistakes.

The step of mixing the medicinal liquid must be carried out in the order of the recipe, and it is crucial to control the amount of medicinal liquid and the temperature.

At this step, Shi Chen failed and removed seven portions of the elixir. It was not until the eighth portion of the elixir liquid that he succeeded in mixing it.

For the past eight days, after refining a furnace of pills every day, he would stop to summarize his experience, explore the root cause of his failure, and then practice to condense his spiritual power.

Extracting elixirs to produce liquid medicine and purifying the liquid medicine are the foundations of alchemy, followed by mixing the liquid medicine. Each recipe is different, and the slightest mistake will lead to a huge error.

After the medicinal liquid is properly mixed, it is sent into the alchemy furnace to boil the elixir.

Control the temperature and follow the alchemist's techniques to guide, form and collect the elixir.

He failed in refining ten batches of spiritual medicine, until the twelfth batch, he successfully refined the first batch of finished Jinyuan Dan.

The finished product from this furnace was five Golden Yuan Pills, all of which were low-grade and mediocre in quality. However, even so, in the cultivation world, their value was no less than 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

He put away the pills, sat cross-legged in front of the furnace, and began to summarize his experience in refining these twelve furnaces of pills.

The extraction of second-level spiritual medicine liquid has been mastered, and the purification can reach 80%. However, there is still room for improvement in this area, so that the quality of the pill can be better.

The coordination techniques, elixir secrets, elixir-forming methods, elixir-collecting techniques, etc. of the Jinyuan Pill still need to be more familiarized, as several furnaces went wrong in this link.

After successfully refining the first batch of Jinyuan Pills, the success rate of future pills will surely increase significantly.

For every batch of pills, Shi Chen adheres to the principle of summarizing the past and guiding the follow-up. On the basis of the existing foundation, he strives to be more precise and detailed, find the causes, and resolve the problems.

For the next forty batches of pills, he still only refined one batch every day.

The last batch of Jinyuan Pills was refined, the furnace was taken back, and the refined pills were taken out for total accounting.

Of the next forty batches of Jin Yuan Dan, five failed, leaving only thirty-six successful. The last three batches produced five top-grade Jin Yuan Dan.

There are 188 low-grade Jinyuan Pills, 53 mid-grade Jinyuan Pills, 25 high-grade Jinyuan Pills, and 5 top-grade Jinyuan Pills, totaling 271 pills.

According to the prices listed by the alchemy houses in major immortal cities, the starting price of low-grade Jinyuan Dan is 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, and they are often out of stock.

Only one or two Golden Yuan Pills flow out of each major sect every year, but once they enter the auction house, the transaction price is never less than 100,000 per pill.

The Jinyuan Pills refined by Shi Chen need to be distributed to his teammates, five low-grade and one medium-grade Jinyuan Pills per person.

After packaging the pills, Shi Chen looked at the stone platform on the top of the mountain. It was still guarded by thunder. Among the plasma grass on the periphery, some purple berries had already ripened. He walked around and collected eighteen ripe purple berries.

When he raised his foot to step onto the stone platform behind the thunder circle, the violent thunder curtain instantly blocked his way. Shi Chen hurriedly checked his toes that were scorched by the thunder curtain, and secretly thanked God that he withdrew his foot quickly, otherwise all five toes would have been disabled.

Although his foundation has been built perfectly, he still cannot withstand the thunder circle in front of him.

The spiritual power in the Dantian has been condensed for more than half. With the help of the purple thunder in the Dantian, condensing the spiritual power will be twice as effective with half the effort.

After another five months, the spiritual power in the dantian had become tangible, enough to advance to the golden elixir stage.

First achieve the Golden Elixir, and see if you can break through the thunder curtain with the Golden Elixir cultivation.

Shi Chen moved away from the thunder circle, sat cross-legged about five or six feet outside it, and took out a top-grade Jin Yuan Dan.

Now that his own magic weapon had been destroyed in battle, he only had a set of Qi Refining Stage instruments left. These were definitely not enough to withstand the thunder and the impact on his Golden Core. If the thunder tribulation came, he would have to withstand it with his physical body.

However, the stove with three legs, a round belly and a square lid might be useful. Take it out and put it aside first. If the thunder bombardment is difficult to withstand, hide under the stove.

Concentrate your mind and calm your heart, gathering your spiritual energy.

Half an hour later, his whole body was filled with spiritual power, and his dantian was full of spiritual power. He swallowed the top-grade Jinyuan Pill, condensed his spiritual power, and began to control the spiritual power to impact the barrier.

when!when!when!

In the divine consciousness, the golden elixir barrier is as solid as a rock. Every time it strikes, all the spiritual power and divine consciousness are intertwined together and rush towards the barrier.

The completion of foundation building and the impact of golden elixir, achieving golden elixir immortality, means that the qi sea in the dantian turns into golden elixir and the spiritual power is advanced.

Among the many quotations and miscellaneous stories of predecessors about advancing to the Golden Elixir stage, there are descriptions that after the foundation is built, one needs to compress the Dantian Qi Sea to materialize the spiritual power in the Dantian, and then impact the Golden Elixir barrier. Once the barrier is broken, the Golden Elixir will be formed.

Every person who achieves the Golden Elixir Immortal has a different path to advancement. Some achieve it overnight, while others undergo immense hardships. Those who successfully break through the barriers will condense the Golden Elixir.

Shi Chen belongs to the latter. It took him two hours to compress his spiritual power. His dantian is several times larger than that of ordinary cultivators.

Concentrate your mind, compress the spiritual power in your dantian, and finally infuse it with spiritual consciousness, and it will eventually become a fist-sized glowing sphere.

Shi Chen put all his mind and energy into his body, leaving only a trace of consciousness to the outside world.

Atop the mountain, a gray fog filled the air, obscuring the entire island. The sky was invisible, save for the occasional lightning strikes on the plasma grass. The mountaintop was obscured by a natural formation, making it impossible to observe the outside. Above the mountaintop, above the gray fog, a dense mass of dark clouds had gathered.

The patrolling demons outside Seven-Colored Divine Light Island noticed a large mass of dark clouds gathering within the pillar of mist and reported it to the commanding demon. Half an hour later, Lilong received the news. However, he was in Dongzhizhou, tens of thousands of miles away from Divine Light Island, and unable to return in a short time. He could only command a mid-stage Jindan sea demon stationed near Seven-Colored Divine Light Island to take charge.

Shi Chen had no idea what was happening outside Shenguan Island. He sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain and continued to sprint towards the Jindan barrier with all his strength.

The medicinal power of the Jinyuan Pill flowed through the body like a torrent, gathered in the dantian, and condensed into a fist-sized ball of light.

Each impact of the spiritual energy gathered within the ball of light was a severe test for Shi Chen. The Golden Core Barrier was invisible, formless, and intangible. Upon achieving perfection in the foundation-building process and impacting the Golden Core, an invisible barrier would form on the surface of the Dantian. Only by breaking through this barrier could spiritual energy be transformed into the Golden Core, achieving the status of a Golden Core cultivator.

The medicinal power of the top-grade Jinyuan Pill was extremely strong. After eight attacks, Shi Chen felt cracks on the golden elixir barrier and it was about to break. With one last effort, he gathered all his spiritual power for the ninth time and condensed it in his dantian, making it as solid as gold and stone.

Click! Click! Click!

During the ninth impact, Shi Chen seemed to hear the sound of jade shattering and glass breaking.
