Another two years.
Inside the Alchemy Room of the Fenghua Pill Alliance.
Chen Sheng, dressed in a moon-white Alchemy Robe, had beads of sweat seeping from his forehead as he focused intently on controlling the Pill Furnace.
Inside the furnace, the Cyan Abyss Cauldron was currently enveloped in Spirit Light, with its body covered in Flame Runes that flashed madly, emitting far more heat than usual.
After finding inspiration with Fang Lingxiao, he had repeatedly overturned the Pill Formula seven times, adjusting the ratios of over thirty Spiritual Medicines.
Continuing to deduce and perfect, they finally arrived at the final version of the "Realm-Breaking Pill."
Both of them felt there was no further room for alteration, having a great deal of confidence.
The only problem was that refining this pill was extremely challenging.
Through Chen Sheng's pursuit of perfection in his deductions, this pill stably reached Quasi-Tier Three.
At this moment, Fang Lingxiao stood by the side, his hands tightly clenched into fists, eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Chen Sheng held a "Spirit Gathering Array Disc" in his hand.
The Runes on the Array Disc were connected to the Pill Furnace, continuously channeling external Spiritual Qi into the furnace, providing spiritual support for the elixir.
Quasi-Tier Three Elixir Pills require the condensation of a 'Pseudo Pill Spirit,' which thankfully doesn't demand nearly as much as a true 'Pill Spirit,' akin to the difference between a Fake Pill and a Golden Core.
Chen Sheng, with Divine Sense aiding the Spirit Gathering Array, barely managed to complete it.
His Divine Sense finely sensed the changes in the medicinal liquid within the furnace.
The nurturing power of Warm Jade Marrow was no longer sufficient to counteract the intense Yang power of the Purple Crystal Flower. Without immediate adjustment, the medicinal liquid might explode again.
His heart stirred, and he flicked his fingers in Spell Movement, precisely sending three coins worth of Fire Lotus Seed into the furnace with a light red Spirit Fire.
Simultaneously, he immersed his Divine Sense into the furnace, enveloping the medicinal liquid like a fine net.
Since breaking through the fourth layer of the Divine Inference Array half a month ago, his control over his Divine Sense increased by two-tenths.
Now, not only could he clearly perceive every trace of medicinal property in the liquid, but he could also precisely guide the temperature of the Spirit Fire.
This was the foundation for his daring attempt at refining a Quasi-Tier Three Elixir!
"Condense Liquids!"
Chen Sheng gave a low shout in his heart, forming hand seals of the "Nine Revolutions Liquid Condensation Technique."
This was a Tier Three alchemical technique method recorded in the core inheritance, requiring the use of Divine Sense to layer by layer peel away impurities from the medicinal liquid, eventually condensing into a pure pill liquid.
Under his control, the light purple medicinal liquid within the furnace gradually shed its impurities, turning into a translucent light golden color, with fine Pill Patterns appearing on its surface, flowing like a living thing.
Fang Lingxiao held his breath, staring unblinkingly at the Pill Furnace.
He knew the next step of Condensing Pill would be the most difficult—'Condensing the Pseudo Pill Spirit.'
This required channeling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the pill. This step demanded extremely high control over Divine Sense and Spirit Fire; any slight mistake would spell disaster.
"Spirit Induction!"
With a flash of severity in his eyes, Chen Sheng pushed the power of the Divine Inference Array to the utmost, continuously weaving countless complex hand seals.
He extended his Divine Sense, directing the Spiritual Qi outside the Alchemy Room to transform into a light cyan Spirit Pillar, slowly infusing it into the Pill Furnace.
Simultaneously, he controlled the furnace fire, minutely adjusting it to the optimal temperature for Condensing Pill, to inspire the Pill Spirit without damaging the pill's properties.
Time ticked away second by second.
The Spiritual Qi within the Alchemy Room became increasingly rich, with light golden Spirit Light spilling from the crevices of the Pill Furnace, forming mysterious Runes in the air.
Sweat also dotted Chen Sheng's forehead.
He constantly adjusted the Array Disc, ensuring the speed of Spiritual Qi infusion matched the absorption rate of the elixir inside the furnace, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Suddenly, there was a slight tremor from within the furnace, as the light golden medicinal liquid began to rotate, creating a tiny vortex.
In the center of the vortex, a golden light point slowly condensed, the nascent form of the "Pseudo Pill Spirit."
"It's done!"
Fang Lingxiao couldn't help but exclaim softly in his heart, eyes full of ecstatic joy.
Chen Sheng didn't dare relax, continuing to guide Spiritual Qi infusion, while casting dozens of solidification and spirit-locking spells.
Half an hour later, when the Pill Spirit finally took full form, he breathed a sigh of relief and formed a seal to open the furnace lid:
"Expel the Pill!"
Three streaks of light golden brilliance flew out from the furnace, circled in the air once, carrying a rich Pill Fragrance, and gently landed on a jade disc covered with brocade.
The surface of the elixir pills was covered with fine Spirit Patterns, faintly revealing the flowing spirituality inside.
"It's done! It's done!"
Fang Lingxiao excitedly rushed forward, grabbing Chen Sheng's shoulders in a trembling voice:
"Junior Brother, we've succeeded! A Quasi-Tier Three Elixir, and you actually refined it!"
Chen Sheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, a faint smile appearing on his face.
The hardships of the past two years had not been in vain. From the initial repeated failures to now achieving success in pill refinement, every step was filled with difficulties.
"Not bad, the two of us have painstakingly deduced the Realm-Breaking Pill Formula for decades, and finally, it has achieved perfection."
He picked up a Realm-Breaking Pill, his Divine Sense sweeping over the inside of the pill – the Pill Spirit was stable, and the efficacy of the medicine had reached nearly eighty percent, which could be considered an extraordinary performance.
Fang Lingxiao eagerly said:
"I'll immediately go to the Pill Hall to find someone to test the pill!"
He knew that within the sect, there were many Elders stuck at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Early-stage, most of whom were practicing powerful Cultivation Techniques, making it extremely difficult to break through bottlenecks.
The success rate of Tier Two Realm-Breaking Pills on the market was very low, often requiring dozens of years and a large amount of elixir pills to barely break through.
Some people were even stuck for a lifetime.
Now that their Quasi-Tier Three Realm-Breaking Pill has come out, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation.
Chen Sheng nodded in agreement:
"Go ahead, remember to record the reactions of the cultivators who test the pill. If there are any problems, we need to make adjustments."
Fang Lingxiao took a Realm-Breaking Pill and transformed into a rainbow light, flying towards the Qinghua Sect, the joy on his face almost overflowing.
Chen Sheng, meanwhile, placed the remaining two pills into a jade bottle, carefully storing them away.
…
A month had passed in the blink of an eye.
The entire Fenghua Immortal City and even the entire Qinghua Sect were ignited by a piece of news.
Chen Sheng, the Alliance Leader of the Dan League, successfully refined a Quasi-Tier Three "Realm-Breaking Pill."
This pill could enhance the success rate of breaking through for cultivators at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Early-stage to fifty percent, and at worst, it could steadily loosen bottlenecks!
The source of the news was the twenty-three Elders of the Pill Hall.
Most of these Elders had been stuck at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Early-stage for decades, some even reaching the brink of their lifespan, almost giving up hope of a breakthrough.
Yet after taking the Realm-Breaking Pill, within just a month, twenty-three of them successfully broke through to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Among them, ten broke through immediately after consumption, and thirteen broke through within ten days by leveraging the residual medicinal power of the pill to break the bottleneck.
Such effects far exceeded everyone's expectations.
"The Realm-Breaking Pill from a true transmission is truly miraculous!"
"After I took it, my previously stagnant Spiritual Power instantly became active, and my bottleneck was shattered as if it were paper, allowing me to step into Mid-stage Foundation Establishment in just half an hour!"
"No wonder he is the true disciple of the Old Hall Master."
"Indeed! I've been stuck at the bottleneck for thirty years, having consumed countless Tier Two Realm-Breaking Pills with no effect, yet Alliance Leader Chen's Realm-Breaking Pill has such miraculous efficacy!"
The personal experiences of these Elders spread throughout the entire Qinghua Sect as if given wings.
Foundation Establishment cultivators from various peaks flocked to the Dan League, eager to purchase Realm-Breaking Pills.
Even the Foundation Establishment Families from the surrounding areas sent envoys bearing lavish gifts, hoping to order a batch of Realm-Breaking Pills from the Dan League.
Even the Elders stationed in Fenghua Immortal City from other two sects expressed their desire for cooperation to Chen Sheng.
The threshold of the Dan League was virtually worn out, with cultivators coming to seek pills in an endless stream every day.
Chen Sheng and Fang Lingxiao had no choice but to establish a strict purchase restriction policy.
Each Foundation Establishment Cultivator is limited to one pill and must provide a bottleneck certificate issued by their sect, prioritizing internal sect cultivators, followed by Noble Families and external sect cultivators.
Even with these measures, orders for Realm-Breaking Pills from the Dan League were scheduled six months in advance.
As the Realm-Breaking Pills became more widespread, Chen Sheng's identity as a "Quasi-Tier Three Alchemy Master" was also known for hundreds of miles.
Prior to this, the only Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster in the Qinghua Sect was Dragon Void Daoist.
Now, with Chen Sheng's sudden rise to prominence, refining Quasi-Tier Three Pills with Foundation Establishment Early-stage Cultivation, this talent shocked the entire Chu Country Cultivation Realm.
"Alliance Leader Chen of the Dan League, at just seventy years old, has become a Quasi-Tier Three Alchemist, this talent is probably even more formidable than Dragon Void Daoist of that time!"
"More than formidable!"
"The Realm-Breaking Pill he refined has even won high praise from the Master Fake Pill of the Li Xiao Sect, who even sent special requests to order a batch to help the family's Foundation Establishment cultivators break through!"
"If only I could apprentice under Alliance Leader Chen, even just to learn a smattering of alchemy, it would be enough to benefit me for a lifetime!"
Discussions about this spread through every corner of the Qinghua Sect, Chen Sheng's reputation reached an unprecedented height.
Master Sect Leader summoned Chen Sheng several times to lavishly praise him, even promising that when he attempts to break through to become a Master Fake Pill, he will provide a Tier Three Demon Pill to assist him.
In the study of the Dan League, Chen Sheng looked at the order jade scroll in his hand, a faint smile on his face.
The success of the Realm-Breaking Pill not only enhanced his reputation but also solidified his position within the sect.
He was no longer the True Disciple of the past who needed to rely on his master, but a central figure capable of handling things independently and influencing the structure of the sect.
