Chapter 3480 — Refining the Qi-Gathering Pill
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Beep, beep..." The tablet gave two clear, drawn-out tones. Wei Zhao looked up and saw the screen display: "Refinement script generated. Based on automatic analysis of the weight inside the cauldron, five portions of ingredients have been added for this refinement. Estimated refining time: three hours and twenty-four minutes. Please build up physical strength and true qi in advance! Estimated pill output: seven pills!"
A refining time of just over three hours—not long. But when he saw the projected output, Wei Zhao was slightly stunned. It could actually refine seven Qi-Gathering Pills!
Still, that was only because this was Han Jingyi's work. Anyone else could only refine one pill at a time: success was success, failure was failure!
Wei Zhao, by contrast, was engaged in mass production—even the scraps and waste could be recombined into a new pill, and so the efficiency of pill formation was naturally superb!
"When you hear the beep, inject pure energy and true qi into the cauldron. The cauldron will automatically adjust the flame, the temperature, and the single-flame attribute!"
So all he had to do was input true qi? Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. Did that not mean this cauldron could be used without an alchemist at all? At the thought, he turned questioningly toward Han Jingyi at his side.
Han Jingyi seemed to read his confusion and said, "Brother Wei Zhao, Jingjing actually mastered this technique long ago! Since we could already convert the energy in energy stones into pill fire, turning a cultivator's physical strength and true qi into pill fire is no difficult matter either! It's just that, first, if this technique got out, alchemists would lose their value—with no restrictions, anyone could refine pills. It might make medicine cauldrons sell well for a time, but in the future I'm afraid these things would depreciate! Second, every cultivator's physical strength and true qi are different, and Jingjing has no way to analyze them one by one—but Jingjing knows Brother Wei Zhao's. So don't worry, Brother Wei Zhao: apart from you, only Jingjing herself can use this cauldron. No one else can!"
"So that's how it is!" Wei Zhao nodded. This way things were much simpler, and Wei Zhao set down the worry in his heart completely!
If he had no confidence in pill fire, had he no confidence in his physical strength and true qi? He had helped others level up several times already; Wei Zhao was quite sure of his own strength and true qi! And more than that, Wei Zhao had the great trump card of the jade pendant's space—he could directly use the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to draw the pure energy from the jade pendant's space and channel it into the cauldron. That way his body was like a conductor, purely serving to transmit, and he did not even need to expend his own physical strength and true qi!
Of course, Han Jingyi did not actually know this. She still assumed Wei Zhao had moments when his strength ran dry, which was why she had provided a place to put energy stones!
At that thought, Wei Zhao banished his stray ideas. No more talk—he set to work. Sitting cross-legged, he circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art and, following the prompt, swiftly poured the physical strength and true qi within his body into the Divine Farmer's Cauldron... (To be continued.)
