The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 249 - 153 New Effect of Alchemy Title_l



In his Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion, Lin Yi started to refine the Foundation Building Pill using the alchemy furnace. The furnace he used was not a typical one fueled by spiritual wood.

Instead, it was an inferior-grade spirit furnace that had been used for many years, which he had asked his senior brother Wu Tian Zhang from the Pill Hall to purchase on his behalf.

A spirit furnace, falling under the category of spiritual artifacts, is way more expensive than ordinary flying swords. Even though this spirit furnace had been used by the Pill Hall for many years, its price was still nearly over ten thousand spirit stones. Even so, this was a discounted price considering his status as a direct disciple.

A brand new inferior-grade spirit furnace would cost at least forty thousand spirit stones. This is because refining a pill from the furnace is far more challenging than from an ordinary flying sword as it requires the depiction of the Pill Fire Formation, and with the addition of spirit stones, it can ignite the fire pill, initiating alchemy.

Compared to those furnaces that have to ignite flames using spiritual wood for pill refining, the spirit furnace is extremely convenient. Furthermore, the flame formed by the Pill Fire Formation is superior to the effects of spiritual wood.

However, a spirit furnace is a spiritual artifact. Only those who have attained the spiritual power of the Foundation Building Realm can stimulate it; a cultivator in the Qi refining realm would be unable to use it even if they had one.

At that time, Wu Tian Zhang also felt somewhat puzzled and asked him why he wanted to buy an inferior spirit furnace that he could not use.

Lin Yi’s answer was simple; he said that he was very fond of cooking various delicacies. Therefore, he wanted to buy an inferior-grade spirit furnace to cook monster beast meat in order to familiarize himself with the properties of the spirit furnace. Once he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would be able to use it immediately.

Since an unusable alchemy furnace can only be used for cooking meat, his excuse was very reasonable. Moreover, he also told Wu Tian Zhang to keep his secret from Sister Qi, insisting that it was just a trivial matter.

Without asking any further questions, Wu Tian Zhang only reported to an elder in the Pill Hall and brought Lin Yi a spirit furnace. This furnace was quite worn and could be considered a long-standing relic of the Pill Hall.

Spiritual artifacts can wear out with use, affecting their performance, and requires the attention of an artifact refiner for repair. This also applies to flying swords.

Lin Yi had bought this spirit furnace one or two months ago, and after he received the spirit furnace, Wu Tian Zhang entered into seclusion, doing his utmost to breakthrough into foundation establishment.

Lin Yi did indeed use it to cook meat most of the time, partly to keep his secret and also because cooking with the spirit furnace does indeed produce a better flavor. However, after each use, he always cleaned it using the cleaning technique.

In alchemy, it is necessary to clean after each use, otherwise the residues would affect the success rate of the next pill refining.

Donning his alchemy title, Lin Yi placed several spirit stones into the spirit furnace, activated the formation on it, ignited the flame, put in the materials for the Foundation Building Pill, and began the refining process.

Besides the Pill Fire Formation, the spiritual alchemy furnace also has some auxiliary alchemy formations. These can better help alchemists to fuse materials. Although it has a certain level of spirituality, it still requires the operation of the alchemist.

This is the case even for magical weapons unless they are at the level of immortal artifacts and have a certain level of sapience for autonomous alchemy.

However, the fire triggered by the Pill Fire Formation could not compare with the earth fire in the Dan God Secret Realm. He failed two to three times before successfully refining the second inferior-grade Foundation Building Pill.

The moment the Foundation Building Pill flew out from the pill furnace, a pop-up window appeared before him.

“The host has successfully refined the Foundation Building Pill through diligent alchemy, and has made marked progress in Alchemy Dao. The title [Alchemy Novice] has been upgraded to [Skilled Alchemist].”

Looking at the pop-up window, Lin Yi showed a smile. It seemed that refining a pill again was indeed necessary to activate the next stage.

He focused his gaze on the title name, full of anticipation. When a novice title is upgraded to the next stage, new effects usually emerge. He wondered what kind of effect will the alchemy title have.

Previously, the Path of Survivor title gave him a virtual identity, while the Pet Keeper title made the Spirit Pet Column available. As for the Leveling Up title, it granted him the Flow State.

As he was observing, a line of small text appeared under the title: “Quality +20%, Success Rate +40%, Pill Refining Speed +40%, in refining supreme-grade pills, there is a 10% chance of obtaining a strand of [Fire Seeing the new effect that emerged later, Lin Yi couldn’t help showing a bewildered expression. If he refines a supreme-grade pill, there’s a chance of getting a strand of Fire Pill. He wondered what the difference would be with the Fire Pill brought about by the title.

A symbol appeared on the Fire Pill text, indicating that detailed information could be viewed. His gaze settled there, and another line of small text appeared.

“Using this Fire Pill allows you to refine any pill in the world. Incorporating this Fire Pill in the furnace can help with successful pill refining and accelerate the material fusion speed, thereby enhancing the quality and potency.”

After seeing the effect of the Fire Pill, Lin Yi shook his head; it was essentially a copy of the Flow State. The Flow State could double the effects of the title, and using the Fire Pill for pill refining seemed to add on the original effects of the alchemy title.

But, is it really that simple? His gaze once again fell on this line of small text, especially focusing on the part that stated ‘any pill in the world can be refined.’

At this moment, he couldn’t help but entertain a bold idea. The world’s pills not only included pill medicines but also the Golden Cores condensed by human cultivators.

During the Foundation Establishment Stage, spiritual energy is compressed into a liquid state, while a Golden Core requires the liquid spiritual energy to be condensed into a golden pill-like entity.

According to his knowledge, a cultivator’s Golden Core is formed through constant rotation and compression of the liquid spiritual energy until it finally condenses to form a solid Golden Core. No one has ever formed their own Golden Core using the method of refining..
