Chapter 333: Spirit Purple Pill, a Breakthrough in Potential Points
"During the refining process of the Spirit Purple Pill, you must pay attention to..."
Inside the Earth Fire Institute, Princess Lan Yue was demonstrating how to refine the Spirit Purple Pill for Yang Chan.
After the two reached an agreement, Yang Chan once again made arrangements for his alchemy.
He took out the Spiritual Materials collected from the Han Family, as well as some Spirit Medicine obtained from the Cyan Yuan Sect, to refine into Elixirs.
He kept most of the Spiritual Materials in reserve. These were primarily for creating Medicated Ointments and Medicinal Liquids. It wasn’t suitable to use them directly for refining, as their medicinal effects wouldn’t last as long. However, since Spiritual Materials had their own specific preservation methods, this wasn’t an issue.
If the Medicinal Properties of the Elixirs Yang Chan consumed were to weaken, it would ultimately affect his Daily Potential Point Collection. He had experimented with this before. Early on, when his refining techniques were still clumsy, the Elixirs he produced had rather ordinary effects. Therefore, he usually traded the Elixirs from his first attempts for Spirit Medicine from the Cyan Yuan Sect or handed them over to the Han Family to deal with. He would only consume the ones with better Medicinal Properties himself.
As for his Daily Potential Point Collection, not a single decimal point could be lost.
And now, he placed great importance on the new Spirit Purple Pill that Princess Lan Yue was refining. This was the key to breaking eight points in his Daily Potential Point Collection, so it naturally warranted his full attention.
Yang Chan watched Princess Lan Yue’s refining process. It wasn’t particularly complex, and the difficulty wasn’t high; the only issue was that the required materials were rather precious.
It wasn’t that Princess Lan Yue had no Pill Formulas. However, the Alchemy Materials required for the formulas she possessed were quite difficult to find. It was only thanks to the appearance of the Thousand Feather Secret Realm that Yang Chan had been able to gather everything needed for the Spirit Purple Pill.
"And that is the entire refining process."
Princess Lan Yue took the refined Spirit Purple Pills from the Alchemy Furnace. The yield was quite high—a full fifty pills.
The refining process for the Spirit Purple Pill had minimal losses, which was why the yield was so high. Of course, this was also related to the large quantity of materials Princess Lan Yue had used.
When confident of success, one would naturally increase the amount of ingredients in proportion, leading to a higher number of pills upon formation. Otherwise, for a first attempt, one would only use a small portion to test the waters.
"Good."
Yang Chan nodded. Princess Lan Yue’s explanation had been very detailed, so he now understood the entire process. He just needed to practice a few times to successfully refine the Spirit Purple Pill himself.
For now, he didn’t plan to refine many kinds of Elixirs. This was related to the Spiritual Materials he had on hand; if no new Secret Realms appeared, his supply would only dwindle.
However, Yang Chan wasn’t in a hurry. He had enough prepared to last a long time. Based on the pattern of Secret Realm appearances, he could expect to intermittently receive a decent amount of resources—at least far more than before. This was especially true now that he was an Intermediate Pharmacist, which naturally gave him the authority to obtain even more Spirit Medicine.
...
’The Spirit Purple Pill increased my Potential Points by 0.4. Based on its effect, it’s still a bit better than the Cyan Spirit Pill. It seems that even though the materials are different, the effects are still influenced by each other.’
’But my Potential Points have finally broken past 8. That’s good news.’
After midnight, Yang Chan looked at the refreshed values on his panel and calculated his Daily Potential Point Collection. Although it wasn’t as high as he’d expected, he had still reached his goal.
Yang Chan had personally tested the effects of the Spirit Purple Pill. It was stronger than the Ancient Spirit Pill, and although it couldn’t compare to the Three Revolutions Nourishing Viscera Pill, its Medicinal Properties were still excellent. When he practiced the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method, he could clearly feel the degree to which it tempered his lungs and spleens. It was an extremely Superior Elixir.
It was a pity that he didn’t gain as many Potential Points as he’d hoped. The only explanation was the overlapping effects between similar types of Elixirs.
Yang Chan had encountered this situation before, so he wasn’t surprised.
He had suspected that Elixirs could influence one another. He’d had this guess back when he was taking the Three Revolutions Nourishing Viscera Pill, but that Elixir’s Medicinal Properties were so potent and provided so many Potential Points that the effect wasn’t as obvious.
But now, after taking the Spirit Purple Pill, the overlap was clear to see.
’If I want to increase my Potential, I should focus on Elixirs with different uses. I especially need to try some Longevity Elixirs.’
The effect from the Longevity Two Body Pill he took last time was excellent, so he certainly hadn’t forgotten its benefits. However, the materials for Longevity Elixirs were all quite rare. He had several Pill Formulas for them in his mind, but he lacked the corresponding ingredients.
However, Princess Lan Yue was an excellent person to turn to. Yang Chan naturally placed his hopes on her.
When a suitable opportunity arose, he would have to get a few Longevity Pill Formulas from her.
Young people didn’t care much about extending their lives, but the elderly were desperate for it. If it weren’t for the time restrictions on both refining and consuming the Longevity Two Body Pill, people would have already been begging Yang Chan to refine it for them.
Back in the Cyan Yuan Sect, an Elder had asked him about Longevity Elixirs, but he had directly refused, claiming he didn’t know how to refine them.
A Lifespan Extension Pill was a huge source of trouble. Last time, when he had successfully refined two pills, he had deliberately created the illusion that only one had been formed. As soon as he got his hands on the Elixir, he consumed it himself, leaving no room for such problems.
He knew exactly how much trouble such an Elixir could cause. For the sake of Cultivation, people might exercise some restraint. But when a person was on the brink of death, they would become utterly frenzied—especially the rich and powerful. They wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice hundreds of their own clansmen.
For Yang Chan, this was the root of all trouble. That was why even if he were to refine a Longevity Elixir, he would only do it in secret and consume it alone, never letting the matter be exposed.
Unless his strength was great enough to suppress all opposition—then it would be a different story.
Yang Chan looked at the Potential Points on his panel and allocated them according to his original plan. This accelerated his progress in the Inner Refining of the Six Viscera and Marrow. In less than two months, he would be able to finish tempering the remaining two viscera. This progress could be described as extremely rapid.
Previously, it had taken him more than two months to temper a single viscus, but now he was getting faster and faster. Yang Chan was very satisfied with this pace.
He had always felt that his Cultivation in the Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens was still insufficient to protect himself. This feeling became even more pronounced after his last encounter with Divine Constable Jin Feihua of the Six Gates. Back then, if Jin Feihua had discovered something was amiss with him, he would very likely have been captured.
Even with his many preparations, such as Hidden Weapons and Poison, they wouldn’t be very effective against an expert at the Peak of Internal Refining of the Five Viscera. This was the pressure an expert of that level exuded, especially one at the Peak Level.
Yang Chan naturally didn’t want such a thing to happen. That was why he had been rapidly increasing his Martial Arts Cultivation, to gain the power to protect himself. The next time he faced a similar situation, he wanted to be able to suppress his opponent with a backhand strike. That was the best choice.
Danger was something that had to be nipped in the bud. Otherwise, you never knew when you might find yourself powerless to resist.
’The feeling of allocating points is so satisfying!’
A satisfied smile appeared on Yang Chan’s face after he used up all eight Potential Points.
Nothing made him feel better than this.
The improvement from consuming Potential Points was far more tangible than that from diligent Cultivation.
On his panel, the Sword Master class was approaching promotion faster and faster, filling Yang Chan’s heart with anticipation. He eagerly awaited the promotion of his Sword Master class, as it would bring about a new transformation and make his life-saving methods even stronger.
He was especially hopeful that after the Sword Master class was promoted, it might allow him to comprehend the existence of Sword Momentum.
Yang Chan glanced at the sky outside. There was no moon; it was pitch black. A night like this was not suitable for staying up late. He stood up and walked directly to his bedroom. Why stay up all night cultivating when he could be enjoying the soft, warm embrace of a woman? True effort didn’t mean pulling all-nighters.
Although, in truth, Yang Chan’s decision not to stay up late had little to do with the lack of moonlight.
As Yang Chan left with a lantern in hand, returned to his bedroom, and extinguished the candlelight, the Yuanqing Courtyard slowly sank into darkness.
Yang Chan went to bed relatively late, but of course, someone was up even later than him. Just then, Han Bingyu, who was in his room, tried to turn the tables and become the master. Unfortunately, she lacked the ability and was promptly overthrown by Yang Chan.
Her bid for mastery was quashed before it could even begin, leaving her to passively accept her fate. And yet, this passivity was a form of enjoyment in itself.
