Inside the cave.

The patterns of the fire-controlling array lit up one after another, extracting the spiritual energy from the spirit stones and forming a green-blue second-level flame under the purple jade furnace.

A heat wave swept through the surrounding area, and the temperature continued to rise.

After feeling the gentleness and stability of the flame, Fang Xi nodded with satisfaction.

The magic circle he designed worked quite successfully and had no other shortcomings except for the magic stone.

Fang Xi took a deep breath, took out other medicinal materials, and refined a furnace of 'Qi-Building Pill'.

In the inheritance of alchemy, this has a scientific name called ‘warming furnace’!

An alchemy furnace that has not been used for a long time often performs poorly when refining the first batch of elixirs, which will slightly affect the subsequent elixirs.

Therefore, before refining important elixirs, alchemists often refine a batch of other types of elixirs.

With a solemn look on his face, he put the refined Qi-Building Pill aside and took out sixteen jade boxes from the storage bag.

After opening it, materials appeared one after another, among which a gray-white demon pill was the most eye-catching.

"let's start!"

Fang Xi murmured, first took out the jade-white 'Hualong Ginseng' and cut off a piece with a jade knife.

To refine the Foundation-Building Pill, you don't actually need a whole plant of 'Hualong Ginseng' in one ingredient. Cutting off a section is enough.

It's just that the efficacy of the 'Hualong Ginseng' is lost quickly after it is damaged, so it is often sold whole.

"These demon pills actually belong to demon beasts in the early stage of foundation building. I don't expect that one furnace can produce more than two pills. Naturally, they all follow the minimum configuration... small amounts and multiple times to accumulate experience..."

Fang Xi released her spiritual consciousness and entered the interior of the purple jade furnace.

The next moment, he put the cut dragon ginseng into the medicine furnace, controlled the flames to wrap it, and refined it into a transparent liquid medicine.

Then, there are other auxiliary materials...

During this process, Fang Xi's consciousness was carefully observing every change in the medicine furnace.

Anyway, he was not prepared to succeed in the first batch. He had a very good attitude and it was completely experimental.

After the gray-white demon pill entered the pill furnace, Fang Xi's expression suddenly became more solemn than ever before.

Hoho!

When the demon pill encounters the flame, it instantly bursts out with a force of resistance, and there is a faint roar of the demon beast.

"Using the inner elixir of monster beasts to refine elixirs is indeed not as gentle as elixirs..."

Fang Xi immediately dripped in the Biling liquid to combine the medicinal properties and stabilize the various medicinal materials.

However, the next moment!

Boom!

The purple jade furnace trembled, and the medicinal liquid inside clashed violently with the demonic beast's inner elixir, and they both turned into ashes!

In Fang Xi's first alchemy, she didn't even complete the step of condensing the elixir with liquid medicine!

"Well...the impact of the demonic beast's inner elixir is too strong, and the timing of the entry of the jade spirit liquid is a bit late..."

There was no sadness or joy on his face, and he didn't care at all that he accidentally destroyed a precious demonic beast's inner elixir. He was recalling the elixir refining experience just now.

After resting for a night and simulating it many times in her mind, Fang Xi started refining the pill again!

boom!

This time, he reluctantly combined the green spirit liquid into the demon pill and blended it with the medicine, but he failed at the last step...

…

Three months later.

"The sixth furnace!"

Fang Xi's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were sharp, as if he were passing through the clouds and flowing water, he was putting various materials into the alchemy furnace.

Then, there was an amethyst-like monster inner elixir and jade spirit fluid!

"In the fifth furnace, I was close to condensing the pill, but my magic power was not enough at the critical moment..."

This time, Fang Xi was well prepared, perfectly stimulating the demonic power of the demonic beast's inner elixir, blending it with the original liquid, and turning it into a ball of translucent liquid that was green and purple.

The fire is blazing, constantly warming and nourishing the liquid...

After seven days and seven nights, Fang Xi stuffed a Qi-Building Pill into her mouth, restored her mana first, and then calmly played the magic formula:

"Condensation!"

In the alchemy furnace, the blue-purple medicinal liquid is constantly concentrating, and its color is constantly changing among the seven colors...

Fang Xi had sweat on his forehead as he struggled to stabilize the various spiritual conflicts within the elixir.

Three days later.

"Turn on the stove!"

His magic power surged, and each magic formula was shot into the purple jade furnace.

The purple jade furnace roared, and a pale blue pill flew out and landed in Fang Xi's hand.

But before his face could light up with joy, the foundation-building pill quickly turned black in color, exploded... and turned into a ball of ash.

"The method of extracting pills needs to be improved... I was a little too hasty before."

…

March has passed again.

As the furnaces were opened more and more often, Fang Xi spent more and more time refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This is a good thing.

He failed at the beginning before, but now, he has been able to persist to the final step of obtaining the elixir.

"Eighth furnace!"

Fang Xi followed the steps step by step, overcoming the difficulties and obstacles ahead and reached the final step of obtaining the elixir.

This time, he improved his original method of collecting pills, and a seal fell into the pill furnace.

The purple jade stove opened with a roar, and the aroma of medicine filled the room.

A blue pill fell into Fang Xi's hand, it was the Foundation Establishment Pill!

It’s just that the surface of this elixir has a gray elixir pattern!

"Bad Foundation Building Pill?!"

Fang Xi frowned: "It seems that my previous method is still imperfect..."

This inferior foundation-building pill also has the miraculous effect of assisting monks in foundation-building transformation, but the erysipelas exceeds the standard, and the efficacy is a little worse than the genuine foundation-building pill, only about 60 to 70%.

"But enough is enough, enough is enough..."

"As long as the Foundation Establishment Pill protects the muscles and veins and can protect you from death if the Foundation Establishment Pill fails, it is enough to guarantee the bottom line..."

Fang Xi carefully put away this inferior foundation-building pill and went to have a long sleep.

He was also under a lot of pressure during this period, especially during the last few furnaces.

Although I have warned myself many times that if I fail, I will probably repeat the process of collecting materials before, but the Demon King of Great Liang is not unlimited.

Fortunately, the stress is gone now!

Overjoyed, Fang Xi went out to play for a few more months, and then came back feeling refreshed both physically and mentally and continued to cook!

In the ninth furnace of refining the foundation-building elixir, Fang Xi did whatever she wanted and used her imagination... she put several of her previous conjectures into practice, but the furnace exploded in the middle of refining the elixir.

He laughed and continued to wash the furnace and refine the last demonic beast inner elixir.

This time, as if with divine help, he refined a genuine Foundation-Building Pill in the last ditch effort!

…

On the bed in the cave, Fang Xi was half-lying with two jade bottles in his hands.

"Ten monster beast inner elixirs, placed in the hands of those alchemy masters, can produce at least ten genuine foundation-building elixirs..."

This does not mean that the opponent will definitely succeed every time he makes an elixir, but that some alchemy masters can make two foundation-building pills in one furnace!

When we arrived at Fang Xi's place, ten pills turned into two pills, and one of them was inferior. It was a complete loss!

But Fang Xi felt that it was quite profitable.

At least, he quietly obtained two Foundation Establishment Pills.

And... I also learned the art of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill!

With this skill, he dared to pretend to be a second-level alchemy master!

Although, Fang Xi was not prepared to do this.

He played with the jade bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pill and began to think about Foundation Establishment.
To be continued...
