Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Qi Cultivation Layer 7
The crimson flames burned bright red, making the entire blue-brick-tiled house appear scorching, even with the support of an array, the temperature soared dramatically.
The Cyan Elephant Furnace continuously emitted elephant cries.
As the Pill Furnace rotated violently, the fragrance of pills became more intense, and the next moment, as he pressed his hand down.
The flames began to lower, the lid gradually flew up, revealing a full nine Cyan Spirit Pills inside.
Among them was one Cyan Spirit Pill, shining with a pill pattern, making Ye Jingcheng incredibly excited.
A Spirit Nourishing Pill with spirit patterns and a Cyan Spirit Pill with spirit patterns are completely different concepts, indicating his alchemy skill has further improved.
Moreover, the effect of Cyan Spirit Pills with spirit patterns far surpasses ordinary Cyan Spirit Pills, which can be reserved for the Golden Scale Beast’s breakthrough.
Ye Jingcheng carefully stored the Cyan Spirit Pills and took out two of them, placing them into the Red Flame Fox’s mouth.
The latter crunched them all and swallowed them whole, its whole body stretched slightly, as if lazily stretching.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t care about the Red Flame Fox but started to summarize this alchemy session.
Especially since spirit patterns appeared this time, he needed to summarize more, as pills with spirit patterns can be sold at auction for double the price of regular pills—and often, they are scarce.
Even Tier Two Alchemists cannot guarantee spirit patterns every time they refine Tier One elixirs.
For Ye Jingcheng, there were two extra points in this alchemy session; the Red Flame Fox’s flame control ability became stronger, and its spirituality increased.
Now he can command with a thought, and the Red Flame Fox can respond in an instant, rather than taking time as it did before, needing to consider the cause and effect.
Even at various nodes of pill refining, the Red Flame Fox can react in advance.
This point is too important, making future alchemy much easier.
After summarizing, Ye Jingcheng started researching the Lotus Yellow Pill, although he wouldn’t refine it in the short term.
He prefers to fully grasp the pill formula before starting.
This can minimize the waste of spiritual medicine materials.
The main ingredient of the Lotus Yellow Pill is the Lotus Yellow Fruit, complemented by Earth Spirit Ganoderma, Three-leaf Flower, and several other auxiliary medicines.
Ye Jingcheng researched them one by one, while during his research intervals, the two spirit beasts were not idle, arranged by him in a clearing to practice Fireball Skill and Earth Spike Skill.
On the contrary, the Jade Ring Rat, in the corner, seemed particularly leisurely, holding a Spirit Nourishing Pill between its paws, cautiously nibbling.
The following days of cultivation were even more fulfilling.
Ye Jingcheng set his goal to reach the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer within two years, so he used his days for alchemy and nights for cultivation.
Since the elixir mainly boosts the Golden Scale Beast, it was especially diligent, particularly when the Red Flame Fox was nearby; Ye Jingcheng didn’t need to motivate it.
It was like it was injected with adrenaline, practicing Earth Spike Skill meticulously every day.
Three months later, Ye Jingcheng succeeded in refining the Lotus Yellow Pill after failing three times.
This time, only three pills were formed, but they excited Ye Jingcheng’s spirit.
At this moment, the Golden Scale Beast entered the room from the side.
The giant golden scale armor shone brilliantly in the firelight, now; the Golden Scale Beast’s size has exceeded the Red Flame Fox, its forepaws sharp and sturdy.
Every step it took emitted a dull sound.
The spiritual light of its entire body had already reached the limit of a Tier One Mid-stage Demon Beast.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng first took out a large amount of spirit beast meat, letting the Golden Scale Beast have a feast, then took out the Cyan Spirit Pill with spirit patterns.
As the Cyan Spirit Pill entered its body, the Golden Scale Beast’s physique clearly changed with spiritual light!
To maximize utilization, Ye Jingcheng infused it with treasure light and then had it consume two Lotus Yellow Pills.
The room was saturated with rich earth attribute spiritual energy, and the Golden Scale Beast started breathing rhythmically.
This scene puzzled Ye Jingcheng.
Through the soul contract connection, Ye Jingcheng discovered that the Golden Scale Beast was exceptionally excited, a bit like when the Red Flame Fox broke through to the Late Stage of First Tier.
Ye Jingcheng decided to stay by its side, not cultivating that day, watching the orange spiritual light fill the room.
For a long time, a rooster crow sounded, and through the window, the sky turned fish-white.
The treetops outside were dauntingly quiet.
The Jade Ring Rat and the Red Flame Fox did not make a sound.
The next moment, the Golden Scale Beast stood up, shaking its head and body.
Golden scales rippled with layers of spirit patterns, spreading an aura unique to Tier One Late-stage Spirit Beasts.
It growled low, directly approaching the Red Flame Fox, as if having gained confidence after breaking through.
But as the Red Flame Fox screeched sharply, a more intense flame spread out, its spiritual might almost twice that of the Golden Scale Beast.
The Golden Scale Beast shrank its neck and retreated two steps, turning to the corner of the room where the Jade Ring Rat was and suddenly pounced!
Ye Jingcheng was speechless for a moment, glared at the latter, then took the Golden Scale Beast out of the room.
"Exert Earth Spike Skill with all your might!" Ye Jingcheng commanded!
As Ye Jingcheng’s words fell, the Golden Scale Beast slammed its forepaws down, suddenly raising three earth spikes, each two feet long, in the space ahead!
These earth spikes condensed bright yellow, shone with metallic gloss, their strength evidently far beyond that of ordinary Earth Spike Skill.
"Indeed!" Ye Jingcheng was extremely satisfied; after the Red Flame Fox broke through, it upgraded to the Fireball Technique, and the Golden Scale Beast, after its breakthrough, can be named the Golden Earth Spike Technique.
For cultivators with scale armor or equipped with magical artifacts, this would be a formidable deterrent.
Ye Jingcheng then tested the speed, strength, and close combat abilities of the Golden Scale Beast; all were without exception, to his satisfaction.
Though less than the Red Flame Fox, one must know the Red Flame Fox now has two tails!
Ye Jingcheng led the Golden Scale Beast back to the room.
The Golden Scale Beast broke through, so he began performing the Beast Communication Pattern.
With the Beast Communication Pattern’s enhancement, after several months of seclusion, he was confident to reach at least the Peak of Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, with a high probability of breakthrough after consuming two spirit pills!
Ye Jingcheng took the Golden Scale Beast back to the room, letting it feast, then have a rest, while he began to cultivate the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.
The Four-Phase Spiritual Energy still had the fire attribute as the most dominant, making Ye Jingcheng’s meridians feel warm, while the water attribute spiritual power, though scant, felt quite refreshing, the earth attribute heavy and solid, and the wood attribute vibrant, continuously flowing.
Each different ratio brought a different feeling, making Ye Jingcheng more esteemed towards the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.
The next day, as the sun rose, a beam of Ziyang pierced through the window, illuminating the face of man and beast.
The Beast Communication Pattern on Ye Jingcheng’s left hand activated again, crashing towards the Golden Scale Beast!
Just like connecting with the Red Flame Fox, this time was exceptionally smooth.
A Beast Communication Pattern burned onto the Golden Scale Beast’s left foreleg, quickly fading afterwards.
Pure earth attribute spiritual power began to flow towards Ye Jingcheng.
The Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture naturally began cultivating on its own.
One circulation.
Two circulations!
...
That day, Ye Jingcheng’s cultivation was unprecedentedly smooth; his Four-Phase Spiritual Energy, the earth yellow rapidly strengthened, starting to rival the crimson.
In the following month, Ye Jingcheng stayed in the room.
His breathing became increasingly robust, and when it reached a certain level, he consumed a Lotus Yellow Pill, followed by two Cyan Spirit Pills.
In the massive medicinal power of the pills, the spiritual power within Ye Jingcheng surged forward like rolling river water.
The next moment, a rippling of spiritual energy spread outward, as Ye Jingcheng’s cultivation level unexpectedly reached the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer!
