Li Shiming sat in his cultivation room, holding a jade box in his hands.
He carefully opened the jade box, revealing a Fourth Grade Uncertain Soil Ganoderma inside. He also took out a jade scroll, which recorded the elixir recipe for the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill using the Uncertain Soil Ganoderma as the main ingredient.
The reason Li Shiming paid such attention to this alchemy session was that, like Ancestor Lou, he also needed the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill.
In his laboratory space, there was also a venerable present. Although Venerable Huijing still retained the level of a venerable, due to his injuries, he could not fight, making it impossible for Li Shiming to rely on his strength.
Although Li Shiming possessed such a magical artifact as the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan, it did not contain the Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine needed to refine the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill.
He originally planned to find a way to obtain the Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine needed for the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill. Unexpectedly, just as he advanced to the late-stage Golden Core, Ancestor Lou delivered the Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine directly to him.
He stored the Uncertain Soil Ganoderma in his laboratory space and sent his spirit into the laboratory space.
Although the elixir recipe in the jade scroll was unfamiliar, with his life-bound treasure IBMz15, he quickly established a simulation environment and simulated the alchemy process ten times in a short period.
When he was preparing to refine this batch of Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, he not only had control over the 10nm environment of the laboratory space, had the assistance of his life-bound treasure IBMz15, but also had the experience of ten simulations.
Under such conditions, it would be difficult to make a mistake in refining this Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill.
However, refining the Fourth-grade Spirit Pill required nine days, so he could only patiently wait.
The news of Li Shiming advancing to the late-stage Golden Core spread throughout the entire Beishu Continent immediately after he visited the Thousand Illusion Sect.
All cultivators who should know, knew about it, and besides the excitement of the Nascent Soul Ancestors, all the alchemy masters were also pleased.
Li Shiming’s presence was like an insurmountable peak to other alchemy masters.
If it weren’t for Li Shiming reducing the refining of spirit pills of the previous stage’s level after each advancement, giving alchemy masters opportunities, perhaps the alchemy masters on the Beishu Continent would have nothing to do.
This was not exaggerated; Li Shiming had not yet revealed his true alchemy capabilities.
If he were to refine several Third-grade Elixir Furnace Treasures, he could open as many furnaces to refine pills as he had Third-grade Elixir Furnace Treasures.
As long as the number of Third-grade Elixir Furnace Treasures did not exceed the number of brains he could utilize, he could mass-produce spirit pills.
This was true even for Fourth-grade Spirit Pills, because he had refined IBMz15 into his life-bound treasure, giving him one hundred ninety additional brains.
Nine days later, Li Shiming sensed the changes in the pill furnace within the laboratory space. His divine thought transformed into a large hand, gently patting the pill furnace.
The ’Hundred One-point Pill Technique’ activated, and the spiritual energy condensed from the Nascent Soul Stage spiritual veins over ten days in the laboratory space was all absorbed into the pill furnace. The three spirit pills first appeared illusory, but with the entrance of spiritual energy and absorption of the medicinal qi in the furnace, they gradually turned from illusory to solid.
"Pills out!" he softly commanded, and six Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pills flew out from the pill furnace.
Among them, four Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pills were stored in a separate jade bottle, and the remaining two Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pills were collected into the jade bottle prepared for Ancestor Lou.
Because the time he took the pills out was a day earlier than the time known by the Nascent Soul Ancestors outside, he had one day to stay in the cultivation room.
He took out a Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, and without any accident, the quality of this Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill reached a high level, which was the highest quality achievable under normal alchemy procedures.
He tossed the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill to Venerable Huijing. Venerable Huijing no longer looked like a monk; not only had he grown hair, but his appearance was also different.
Unfortunately, no matter how Venerable Huijing changed, he couldn’t change his own aura.
Li Shiming’s method of concealment was of no use; at most, it could deceive Golden Core cultivators, but upon encountering a Nascent Soul Ancestor on the Beishu Continent, they could recognize Venerable Huijing by his aura.
Venerable Huijing put the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill into his mouth, sat down cross-legged, and began to refine the spirit pill.
Li Shiming sent his focus into his own body, sensing the effects of the spirit pill’s medicinal power.
This Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, upon entering Venerable Huijing’s body, immediately transformed into a surge of fourth-grade healing medicinal power, repairing the injuries of his Nascent Soul and body.
The reason Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pills were so precious was that they could not only heal the body but also the Nascent Soul.
The Uncertain Soil Ganoderma brought by Ancestor Lou was a treasured stock of the Earth Evil Sect; without Ancestor Lou’s injuries, the Uncertain Soil Ganoderma would not have been used.
Of course, this also acknowledged Li Shiming’s alchemy skills, as transforming the Uncertain Soil Ganoderma into Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pills served a greater purpose.
Venerable Huijing’s injuries were originally extremely troublesome, barely maintained due to a lack of treatment.
However, after ingesting the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, the injuries quickly began to recover, especially the damage to the Nascent Soul, visibly repairing at an impressive speed.
After three two-hours, Venerable Huijing absorbed the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, his injuries significantly improved from serious to minor, and he could barely make a move now.
Yet, Li Shiming was not satisfied; with his wealth, he generously handed out another Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill to Venerable Huijing.
Venerable Huijing took the Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill again, and another three two-hours later, as he reopened his eyes, they shone with a brilliant light, his aura restored to eighty percent.
