Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 311

Being able to control different runes to have different effects on a pill requires a very high talent and understanding of runes. As for w.a.n.g Wei, he has been studying divine runes ever since he was five years old because he wanted to create a physique for himself.


A few hours later, he opened the lid of the cauldron to look at the 9 floating pills. He used his Divine Sense to check the aura of the pill, then he frowned:


"2 Perfect Quality Pills, 5 Superior and 1 Average; it seems that I have indeed slacked off."


Alchemy Pills were not only divided based on tiers, but also quality. Every pill"s quality is divided into inferior, average, superior, and perfect. The quality is based on how much the herbs were purified, the heat control, the ratio of the herbs used, and whether the divine runes were perfectly inscribed.


After seeing the result, w.a.n.g Wei closed his eyes and reviewed the entire process of his previous refinement. With his perfect memory, he recreated the entire process in his mind without missing anything.


"I see. The fire was not controlled properly and burned a few medicinal energies. There was nothing wrong with the purification process, however, the runes were not as smooth as they should be when being engraved."


After finding the problem, he tried again. He placed the same material inside the cauldron and began refining. The purification process went well, and he paid great attention to his control of the flame.


Finally, when it was time to engrave the runes, w.a.n.g Wei"s concentration reached its peak as he used his spiritual power or spirit to make the complicated patterns of the runes.


The hard part about this process was the fact each rune was complicated and small–which meant that they required great concentration and precision. On top of that, the runes have to be made in one go without stopping, and they have to be connected.


The Blood Qi Pil is a Low-level Profound pill that only requires 3 runes. However, the higher tier pills require hundreds if not thousands of runes.


After engraving the last runes, the pill was finally refined. After checking it, w.a.n.g Wei discovered that 6 of them were of perfect quality, while the remaining 3 were only superior.


Not satisfied, he did the third attempt; this time, he finally achieved the level of all 9 perfect quality pills.


What"s more, all his attempts after that resulted in perfect quality pills. So, he tried other Low-level Profound Pills like Body Enhancing Pills, Vitality Regulating Pill, Muscle Strengthening Pill, etc.


In all his attempts, the quality of his pills was perfect, so he concluded that he was now used to Low-level Profound PIlls. However, he did not immediately refine Middle-level Profound Pills, but did a little experiment that he had planned for many years but never got to.


He placed the herbs for the Blood Qi Pill inside the cauldron again to begin the refinement. However, he did not use ordinary flame spells, he used his Cleansing-Purifying Flame instead.


The result surprised him a little. He previously thought that he had completely purified the materials, but he was proven wrong once he used the Heavenly Flame.


The purified materials increased the qualities of all the pills by one level. What that meant was that even if w.a.n.g Wei"s flame control and runes engraving could only allow him to make a superior quality pill, the purification level of the herbs immediately raised the pill to perfection.


The same goes for any average or inferior quality pills. As for a perfect quality pill, the effect of the pill would increase between 20 to 50%.


w.a.n.g Wei was surprised by this discovery and did a few more tests. The conclusion was that with the Cleansing-Purifying Flame, the lowest quality of pills that he could refine was average; it was impossible to create an inferior.


It"s either the pill concocting failed or he made an average quality pill.


After making this discovery, w.a.n.g Wei immediately tried his second Heavenly Flame: the Heavenly Destruction Flame.


Unfortunately, using the black flame for alchemy proved disastrous for him. This flame"s sole purpose was destruction, so it burned off all the herbs as soon as it came into contact with it.


It was only on the 7th trial that he managed to make an inferior quality pill, and it barely reached that standard as it was close to being labeled a poisonous pill.


Nevertheless, w.a.n.g Wei was satisfied with this discovery. He decided to continue using this flame for alchemy as a way to train his flame control. When he can make a perfect quality pill using the Heavenly Destruction Flame, his Alchemy will reach another level.


Finally, w.a.n.g Wei had one last test to make: his Chaos Flame that was located inside his heart.


A transparent flame that seemed both static and constantly changing color appeared in his hand, then he refined the herbs with it. To his surprise, he discovered that the chaos flame was not only as good if not better than the Cleansing-Purifying Flame, it could also nourish the herbs and improve their quality.


For example, the 500 years old Ginseng turned into a 1000 years old one, the root of the Blood Lotus became bright red instead of the dim red color, the red dates turned purple, and the blood of the demonic beast had a tinge of gold.


w.a.n.g Wei looked at the nine pills inside his cauldron that excited a mysterious and profound breath. He took one and swallowed it to feel the effect. And to his astonishment, the perfect pill was at least 5 times more powerful than a regular one.


This Low-level Profound Pill could be cla.s.sified as a Middle-Level Profound Pill. He immediately did some tests and realized that no matter how bad the rune engraving process was, the pill will turn into perfect quality ones.


And if the process is done correctly, the strength of the pill will increase between 5 to 10 times.


"No wonder the Flame Emperor was considered one of the greatest Alchemists that ever existed," muttered Qang Wei. "There were even rumors that he might have surpa.s.sed the Danyuan Emperor when it came to Pill Dao.


"It"s a shame such a powerful Emperor did not create his own lineage. However, he may have left his inheritance somewhere in the Myriad Emperor World."


After reigning in his thoughts, w.a.n.g Wei finally began to refine Middle-Level Profound Pills. He chose a simple pill called Origin Qi Pill, which is the upgraded version of Blood Qi Pill used by Divine Sea Realm cultivators.


Just like the name implies, it can increase the origin qi inside a cultivator"s body and help them in their cultivation.


With the right state of mind, he was able to perfectly control the heat and properly purify the material needed. When it came to rune engraving, he had to be more careful since the pill required 9 runes instead of 3.


Many of these runes involved how to stabilize the Divine Sea once the medicinal energy rushed inside, and also to help with the absorption process.


After refining the pills, two of them were of superior quality while the rest were perfect. So, he refined a few more cauldrons until he could only refine perfect quality. Then, he refined other Middle-Level Profound Pills like Divine Sea Expansion Pill which increase the size of the Divine Sea and allow cultivators to hold more origin qi.


Origin Qi Controlling Pill can help cultivators increase their control over their origin qi. Purifying Qi PIll which can purify origin qi and increase the quality.


Just like that, three months pa.s.sed and w.a.n.g Wei never left his cave; he spent all his time on Alchemy.


In front of him was still a cauldron with 9 pills inside, and he was in the process of engraving runes on the pill. After engraving the 81st rune, the process was completed.


So, he opened the lid of the cauldron and looked at the result with satisfaction.


"I"ve finally mastered making Low-level Earth Pills and caught up with Lou Cheng"s skill."


w.a.n.g Wei himself could only be considered a middle Tier 2 Alchemist as the highest level of pill he ever refined himself was a Middle-Level Earth Pills which are used by Divine Body Realm cultivators.


After all, he could ask for any pill he wanted, and once Yan Liling joined the team, he became a little lazy. However, he was now going to take advantage of his current predicament to fully develop his Alchemic talent.


"Alright, let"s refine the Middle-Level Earth Pill."


Unfortunately, he could not find any of the herbs necessary inside Lou Cheng"s s.p.a.ce ring. So, he took out a talisman to ask for herbs. However, he suddenly paused midway.


He realized that he was not in the Dao Opening Sect and could just ask for what he needed and someone would bring it to him. According to Lou Cheng"s memory, even as the disciple of the sect master, if he wanted herbs and materials, he needed to use Sect Points.


After realizing this, w.a.n.g Wei wondered if he should just use the material inside his s.p.a.ce ring. In the end, he decided otherwise and finally left his cave.
