Research-Style Cultivation, Starting by Refusing to Be a Furnace – Chapter 25

Ch 25: Qi and Blood Pill

“Qi and Blood Pill, Qi and Blood Pill,” Wei Xing rubbed the Pill Dao Annotations in his hand, and fell into memories: “The man in black I met that day threw me a Qi and Blood Pill at the time. This pill is in the first chapter of this annotation. Now it seems that it should be a basic pill, just right to try my hand at it.”

“It’s just that the Motherwort needed for this Qi and Blood Pill must be available in Dan Peak, but it must not be taken. Once discovered, the senior brothers will know that I have condensed Pill Fire and entered Dao Breath. Entering Dao Breath in two months is too fast, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not attract the attention of others. I have already been targeted by that woman in purple, and if she has her eyeliner, and she knows that I have superior talent, I don’t know what will happen. This matter still needs to be concealed for four months, pretending to be medium talent,” Wei Xing thought.

“Also, Fifth Senior Brother, it seems that he wants to know what attribute my Pill Fire is, which is a bit strange.”

“Now that I have cultivation, I should go and see if there are any ways to exchange for things within the Monastery.”

Foot of Central Peak Mountain.

“Xiao Jiu, what’s the matter with you looking for Old Man?” The White-Clothed Child stroked his bald chin and said pretentiously.

“Senior Bai, Xiao Jiu wants to ask, is there a place in the Monastery where I can exchange for some supplies? These days, I have been busy with cultivation, and I haven’t had a good understanding of the Monastery. I think Senior Bai knows all about it,” Wei Xing hurriedly ran behind the child, kneading his shoulders and back.

“Comfortable, Xiao Jiu, use a little more strength. Among these disciples, you are the most filial,” the White-Clothed Child said, shaking his head.

“If you want to exchange for supplies, you can go directly to the Trading Pavilion at the mountainside of this peak to receive tasks, get some Spirit Stones or Contribution Points, and then exchange for the supplies and cultivation methods you want,” the White-Clothed Child said leisurely.

“Xiao Jiu, this, this side, use a little more strength.”

“Oh, oh, okay,” Wei Xing said, his hands moving non-stop, “Senior Bai, can cultivation methods also be exchanged?”

“Yes, most of them are cultivation methods from other peaks, just for mutual exchange. The Monastery doesn’t want its disciples to lose their lives when they travel outside without any other skills.”

“Yes, yes, Xiao Jiu will definitely learn more skills in the future and get more Spirit Fruits to show filial piety to you, old man,” Wei Xing said flatteringly.

“Okay, okay, you kid have a heart. You can come to me if you have anything else later,” the White-Clothed Child said, turning around and leaving.

Central Peak, Trading Pavilion.

Wei Xing stood in the hall of the Trading Pavilion, looking at the dazzling array of supplies on the left, and various cultivation methods on the right, but they were all Dao Breath Realm cultivation methods, marked with various required Contribution Points.

Coming to the Pill Task column, Wei Xing saw that the first one was about the Qi and Blood Pill.

“Refine one hundred Qi and Blood Pills, reward ten Contribution Points, no limit to requirements.”

Wei Xing looked at the task in front of him and sneered: “Presumably, these Qi and Blood Pills are prepared for those Outer Sect disciples who are used as cauldrons. When these Fairies from the Myriad Desires Sect come, they will need to replenish their Qi and Blood.”

“How do I accept this task?” Wei Xing asked the Official disciple.

The man looked Wei Xing up and down, and seeing Wei Xing’s Dan Peak attire, he was a little more polite: “New here, right?”

Wei Xing nodded, indicating his acquiescence.

“Just put your identity Jade Token behind the task.”

Inside Dan Peak, at the mountainside.

“It seems that the Monastery needs a large number of Qi and Blood Pills. Maybe this is my road to initial capital accumulation,” Wei Xing looked at the large amount of Motherwort and other raw materials in front of him, which were all received together when he received the task.

“I have never refined pills before, this is indeed a bit risky. If I fail, I estimate that I will have to pay compensation, which I can’t afford,” Wei Xing looked at the Pill Furnace in front of him, a little hesitant.

“In the end, I made up my mind and prepared to go all out. Without risk, there is no high return. If things continue like this, I will definitely die,” Wei Xing urgently needed to improve his strength to deal with the crisis he would face in the near future.

“To be cautious, I should try a small batch first.”

Wei Xing sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, trying to use the cyan flames in his hand to connect with the Earth Fire, so that the temperature of the Earth Fire could be controlled by him.

This trick was secretly learned by Wei Xing when he was learning to cultivate seeds with Dan Wu.

Wei Xing looked at the Pill Dao Annotations, which said to first put in Qingling Fruit and Flesh Ganoderma, and finally put in Motherwort, and also told the respective proportions, but did not say the specific fire control.

“This is a bit troublesome. Presumably, the senior brothers are all experienced and think these are basic common sense, so they didn’t explain it, but I have no common sense about this world!” Wei Xing was speechless in his heart and rolled his eyes.

“There is no other way, I can only try to figure it out. Fortunately, everyone knows that there is a certain failure rate in pill refining. Currently, I have been given one hundred and fifty portions of materials, and I only need to refine one hundred Qi and Blood Pills to complete the task.”

Wei Xing took out more than a dozen portions of materials and began to try different levels of fire.

He saw Wei Xing first use the cyan Pill Fire to draw out the Earth Fire below the Pill Furnace, so that the two were evenly mixed, and then use the Earth Fire to heat the Pill Furnace with a small fire, starting the first experiment.

“Boom!” The pill failed to form, the first failure!

Wei Xing had expected this and started the second experiment.

Then he increased the firepower, making the Earth Fire stronger and heating it with a medium fire.

“Boom!” The pill formation was unstable and exploded directly!

Continuing to increase the firepower, the Earth Fire “boom” shot out a fire snake-like flame, biting hard at the bottom of the Pill Furnace!

Wei Xing did not hear the sound of the pill exploding, and was slightly happy in his heart. He thought he had succeeded, but only after opening the Pill Furnace did he realize that the pill had become a black mass.

“Burnt,” it seems that the firepower was too strong.

Wei Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead. The continuous output of Spiritual Power three times was quite a burden on him, so he could only pause first. Wei Xing recorded the results of his three experiments.

“Small fire and medium fire cannot make the pill stable, but the pill with a large fire has formed, but it is burnt. It seems that we must first use a large fire, and then reduce the firepower at the end to try,” Wei Xing analyzed, looking at his results.

The next day, after adjusting his breath, Wei Xing continued to experiment, but this time he deliberately reduced the firepower output later.

First try a large fire followed by a small fire.

As soon as he opened the Pill Furnace, he saw a red pill lying quietly in the furnace.

Wei Xing was overjoyed and said excitedly: “It seems it’s done, it’s done, good, good, hahaha.”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the pill “crack” and many small cracks appeared on the pill. Wei Xing was instantly petrified in place.

“I don’t believe it!” Wei Xing started a new round of experiments, increasing the Earth Fire and then slightly weakening it, ending with a medium fire.

Opening the Pill Furnace, this time it was still a red pill, and after waiting for a long time, no cracks were seen in the pill.

Only then did he carefully pick it up and observe it in front of his eyes, looking at it against the sun, it was transparent!

“Not bad, not bad, it seems it’s done, it’s the Middle-Grade Qi and Blood Pill described in the Pill Dao Annotations,” Wei Xing proudly put the pill into the Jade Bottle.

“Got it, got it, it’s not that difficult! It seems that I have taken down this Qi and Blood Pill, and I will have a profitable business in the future,” Wei Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, with a constant smile on his lips, while his hand kept recording the results of this time.

Looking at the extra materials in front of him, Wei Xing suddenly thought that he also had a second attribute of Pill Fire, and wondered: “I wonder what the result will be if I use this Golden Pill Fire to refine pills?”

After speaking, he used the Golden Pill Fire to draw out the Earth Fire, and did it again according to the previous method.

It’s just that this time the result was not as expected, and the pill did not form.

He tried again, but it still didn’t form.

Looking at the unformed pill residue in front of him, Wei Xing thought: “Is it because my Golden Pill Fire is not compatible with the attributes of the Qi and Blood Pill?”

“Then what if I use cyan Pill Fire first, and then use Golden Pill Fire to assist at the end?”

Wei Xing tried the remaining Spiritual Power in himself, and could barely try one more time.

This time, there was no abnormal sound. When he successfully opened the furnace, Wei Xing saw a red pill mixed with gold lying in the Pill Furnace. This pill was faintly emitting a faint golden light, which looked very different from before.

Wei Xing picked up the Golden Pill in front of him and examined it carefully: “This looks much more delicate, and there is a small Golden Fire pattern on it,” Wei Xing realized that the Golden Light just now was emitted by this Fire pattern.

Looking at this pill, thinking that he could also replenish himself, he swallowed the pill in one gulp.

After a long time, Wei Xing opened his eyes, greatly surprised. The current Wei Xing only felt a fire-like heat in his body, and had endless strength.
