A heaven-reaching treasure that would drive people crazy… Hua Shu felt her heart skip a beat. It was already dangerous enough to have the mysterious heavenly pearl. If anyone found out that she had a Spirit Spring, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It seemed that she had to be extremely careful in the future. She absolutely could not let anyone know her secret.
Taking a deep breath, Hua Shu quickly calmed down. She knew very well that ever since she obtained the mysterious heavenly pearl, her situation could not get any worse. As the saying went, one would not be afraid of being bitten if one had more lice. She had also accepted it.
The path of immortal cultivation was a path that defied the heavens. If one wanted to become a powerhouse and step onto the peak, the only way was to have a firm Dao Heart. Cowardice and fear were the greatest taboos in cultivation.
After reading so many books, Hua Shu had a deeper understanding of the immortal cultivation world. Now, it was as if there was an encyclopedia of the immortal cultivation world in her mind. She was no longer as ignorant as before.
Hua Shu calculated the time and found that about half an hour had passed outside. There was still plenty of time, so she decided to go to the pill refining room to learn alchemy.
The pill refining room was still the same as before. During the past two days, she had only been focused on cultivating. Although she had received the contents of alchemy, talisman-making, and artifact-making, she had only learned talisman-making techniques because she needed talismans. She had never really studied the other two. Now, it seemed that she had been a little too hasty in her cultivation. Such a state was not a good thing. Other than cultivating, she should also properly learn these skills that she needed to learn.
When it came to pill refining, other than the necessary pill formulas and medicinal ingredients, there were also pill refining techniques and flames that were indispensable. As long as one could control the fire well, ordinary pills could easily be refined.
However, it was impossible to refine spirit pills. The quality and temperature of the ordinary fire were not enough.
Because of the need to prepare pills, most alchemists had fire attribute spirit roots. In order to better understand the medicinal ingredients, the fire and wood attribute was the best attribute for alchemists.
Of course, it did not mean that one could not prepare pills without the fire attribute. After a cultivator formed the aurous core and reached the aurous core stage, they could cultivate the pill fire. Using the pill fire, they could also refine pills. Or they could find a fire vein and use the earth fire to refine pills. The effect of the pill refinement would even be better.
A good fire seed had a great impact on the success rate and medicinal efficacy of pill refinement. In order to improve the quality and success rate of pill refinement, most alchemists would look for a fire vein and use the earth fire to refine pills.
However, what alchemists, especially peak-level alchemists, desired the most was the heavenly flame that was formed between heaven and earth. However, the heavenly flame between heaven and earth was rarely seen. Some alchemists couldn’t find it even after spending their entire lives. Even if they were lucky enough to find the heavenly flame between heaven and earth, if they wanted to keep it for their own use, they had to bring the heavenly flame into their own body and refine it into their own fire seed.
However, the heavenly flame was extremely violent. In the end, they would often end up setting themselves on fire. Only a very few people were lucky enough to refine a heavenly flame and become one of the best in the alchemy world.
Hua Shu did not have a fire attribute spiritual root. If she wanted to refine pills, she could only use fire attribute talismans.
Therefore, before refining pills, she first made a few talismans like the fire talismans and explosive talismans.
However, talismans could only be used to refine low-grade spirit pills. If she wanted to refine mid-grade or high-grade spirit pills, she could only wait until she formed a golden core to refine the pill fire or until she found a fire vein. As for the heavenly flames, in this age of chaos, would there still be heavenly flames? In any case, Hua Shu had never even thought about it.
The space lacked ordinary medicinal ingredients, but there was no lack of precious medicinal ingredients like ginseng, lingzhi, snow lotus, and the like.
Moreover, they were available in all ages and could be taken at will.
Therefore, Hua Shu decided to refine some ginseng pills, lingzhi pills, and snow lotus pills to practice her skills.
These were all great tonics. After refining them into pills, they could dispel the dryness and make the medicinal properties mild.
Even if an ordinary person were to consume them, they would not have to worry about not being able to benefit from the tonics.
