416: Yang Zheng's Alchemy

The dangers of the outside world did not affect where Yang Zheng was; it remained as peaceful as ever.

Besides the faint sounds of crushing Spiritual Plants, the Pill Furnace would occasionally emit the sounds of successful or failed Medicinal Pill production.

In this quiet environment, Yang Zheng focused on his Cultivation, his mind as calm as a tranquil lake, undisturbed.

Neither the crushing sound of Spiritual Plants nor the sounds from the Pill Furnace could break his inner peace.

This focus allowed him to better immerse himself in Cultivation, continuously improving his strength.

At the same time, his understanding of Alchemy gradually deepened.

Every success and failure in Alchemy was a valuable accumulation of experience; he learned many techniques regarding heat control, medicinal material combinations, and mental adjustment.

These experiences not only helped him improve his Alchemy level but also helped him remain calm and adaptable when facing various difficulties.

As time passed, Yang Zheng's Cultivation continuously improved, and his Alchemy skills became increasingly refined.

He silently toiled in this peaceful world, looking forward to the day he could Breakthrough himself and become a true strong Martial Artist.

And all of these efforts were now being rewarded.

“I made it… I made it…”

“The Refining Qi breakthrough pills, they’re done, haha…”

“I, who was stuck at the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage, can finally Breakthrough this time. This is great.”

After speaking, Yang Zheng carefully took out the Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

The Medicinal Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth; he felt a warmth spread through his body, and he felt full of power.

With this surge of power, Yang Zheng felt a powerful energy erupt within his body.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged to the side and began to guide this energy to circulate through his meridians, impacting the Bottleneck.

Sweat soaked his clothes, but his eyes grew increasingly firm.

Finally, a crisp cracking sound resonated within his body, as if a heavenly gate had been broken through.

Yang Zheng opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body; he knew he had successfully broken through to the next Realm.

He stood up, filled with confidence and joy.

“It’s done, I’ve finally reached Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, haha…”

At this moment, Yang Zheng was incredibly excited.

After several days of unremitting effort and focused Cultivation, he finally successfully achieved the Soul Transformation Realm advancement.

One must know that with the full recovery of Spiritual Qi, although he had already reached the Refining Qi Cultivation, facing the invasions of those invaders and the various evil deeds they committed, a small Refining Qi Martial Artist could do very little.

To put it bluntly, he could hardly guarantee his own safety, let alone save others or stop the invaders!

However, fortunately, the Legacy Yang Zheng inherited was Alchemy, which made him different from other Cultivators.

Others could only improve their Realm through regular Cultivation methods and with the help of some external forces.

But Yang Zheng was different; as long as he started Alchemy, it was a form of Cultivation, although the speed of Realm improvement was relatively slow.

Of course, he could also, like other Cultivators, improve his strength through various trials.

“So this is what Soul Transformation feels like. My whole body is full of power. I haven’t slept for days refining breakthrough pills, but at this moment, I don’t feel tired at all; I even feel extremely energetic.”

He clenched his fists hard, feeling the surging powerful energy from within his body, his heart overflowing with joy.

“The breakthrough pills are successful. Next, I need to refine many more; this way, I can give a proper account to the Grand Elder!”

The higher the grade of the Medicinal Pill, the harder it is to refine. He can currently only refine second and third-grade Medicinal Pills.

When refining third-grade Medicinal Pills, the success rate is still very low, and Spiritual Plants are even harder to find. Previously, due to various reasons, he failed Alchemy dozens of times.

This resulted in the loss of many Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Herbs. Fortunately, after the Grand Elder learned of this, he immediately had Lan Kun arrange for everything needed.

Although he had been refining Medicinal Pills in the room and hadn't gone out, this didn't mean he didn't know how serious the situation outside was.

The greatest help he could give them was to refine all the Medicinal Pills they needed.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and began to continue refining Medicinal Pills.

Fortunately, this successful Breakthrough raised his Mental Energy by a small Realm.

This made refining Medicinal Pills no longer as difficult as before; every operation seemed effortless.

Time passed imperceptibly during the Alchemy process. The table next to the Pill Furnace was already filled with various bottled Medicinal Pills, so much so that there was no more space on the table, and the ground was also covered with many Medicinal Pills.

“Bang.”

With the last sound from the Pill Furnace, Yang Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This time, he refined more Medicinal Pills than last time, but the quality was not as good.

This was because he had been continuously refining for many days, and his body and mind were somewhat tired.

Although he possessed powerful Mental Energy and exquisite Alchemy skills, long hours of Alchemy still made him feel strained.

Refining so many Medicinal Pills made his brain ache a little, and his face was pale.

He quickly ate a Medicinal Pill, then closed his eyes to rest for a moment.

Fortunately, after a short while, his breathing gradually stabilized, and his complexion slowly returned to normal.

He knew he needed a good rest before he could continue Alchemy, but now was not the time.

He still had many things to do and could not waste time.

So he took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and began Alchemy again.

Previously, there were some Medicinal Pills of inferior quality, which Yang Zheng later compensated for by refining Medicinal Pills multiple times to make up the previous quantity.

As the number of Medicinal Pills refined increased, his face became pale, and his Mental Energy throbbed faintly.

Forget it, I’ll just refine this much for now!

Otherwise, refining more inferior products would waste a lot of Spirit Medicine.

He placed the inferior and failed Medicinal Pills aside, and the good finished Medicinal Pills on the other side.

These Medicinal Pills were of various types: breakthrough pills that could help Martial Artists Breakthrough their Bottleneck, healing Medicinal Pills that could quickly recover from injuries, and other Medicinal Pills with various effects…

Each bottle of Medicinal Pill emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, making one feel refreshed upon smelling it.

“I didn’t expect to overdo it; my Mental Energy and Spiritual Qi almost depleted on the spot.”

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

“Big Brother Yang, I’m here for the Medicinal Pills.”

“Come in.”

Wan Musi opened the door and saw the pale and weak Yang Zheng sitting to the side. She rushed over to feed Yang Zheng a Medicinal Pill.

Yang Zheng waved his hand: “No need, I just ate one.” He paused, then pointed to the Medicinal Pills neatly arranged on one side and continued: “These are the Medicinal Pills the Grand Elder requested. Take them out quickly!”

Wan Musi: !!!

How much?!

The table and the ground were covered with bottled Medicinal Pills of various sizes, not to mention the loose, inferior Medicinal Pills.

Seeing this scene, Wan Musi was stunned.

It was her first time seeing such a large quantity of Medicinal Pills so directly.

They were everywhere, as if they were free on the street, and she froze on the spot.
