Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2289 - 2245: Attempting Alchemy

Left standing there with a face full of confusion, Chen Yang was at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"This Chen Jing, her personality is really... sigh." Chen Yang found it hard to put into words, but said nothing more.

Anyway, she said it’s not urgent now.

Since that’s the case, it can be done in the future when he has the ability to refine it.

After all, he believes in himself.

If his martial cultivation can improve so quickly, then the speed of the Alchemy Dao shouldn’t be too slow either.

"Since I’ve already delved into it, I might as well find a place to give it a try, especially since Elder Gu also gave me three alchemy recipes."

Chen Yang didn’t look at the alchemy recipes given by Chen Jing and chose to put them away directly.

Because he knew that he had zero alchemy experience at the moment, looking at those third-grade recipes would be of no use.

It would only make him aim too high.

Anyway, he had the recipes in his hands, it wouldn’t be too late to look at them once he gained more strength.

With a swoosh, he disappeared from the spot and found a natural cave nearby.

He sealed the cave entrance with a boulder, then sat down cross-legged, took out the recipes Elder Gu had given him and began to study them seriously.

After some deep study, Chen Yang found that the three recipes given by Elder Gu were quite challenging.

Although they were all first-grade recipes.

But he could tell that these formulas were definitely top-tier within the first grade.

Crafting them would definitely not be an easy task.

"Let’s start with the Nurturing Spirit Pill; this elixir’s effect is to generate Spiritual Energy, similar to Spirit Qi Liquid; it’s worth trying first." Having thoroughly understood the three recipes, Chen Yang decided to begin with the elixir named Nurturing Spirit Pill.

Because the effect of this elixir is similar to Spirit Qi Liquid.

The formula is almost identical, with only a few dozen herbs differing.

Chen Yang had refined Spirit Qi Liquid before, so naturally felt that starting with this was most suitable.

"Moreover, coincidentally, I have most of the materials."

Chen Yang made his decision, then punched away the rocks blocking the cave entrance.

By now, it was already daytime.

As for the three recipes, he didn’t know how long he studied them.

Once immersed in them, he paid no attention to the passage of time.

But none of this mattered; a few days meant nothing to a cultivator.

Having opened the cave, Chen Yang immediately went out to gather materials nearby.

He was deep in the mountains and the materials for first-grade elixirs weren’t very rare.

He spent a day searching for many materials.

Not just for the Nurturing Spirit Pill, but also for other recipes.

Once all the materials were gathered.

He returned to the cave from before and once again piled stones up to prevent any disturbances.

During alchemy, it’s crucial to maintain concentration; otherwise, problems can easily arise.

Having made all preparations, he began, regulating his own breath.

Quietly activating Flame Decision, he summoned the Earth Rock Fire within himself.

The Earth Rock Fire was considered a treasure for attack.

It belonged to the category of special flames.

While Spiritual Fire was a treasure nurtured by nature, there was still some difference between them.

Most alchemists in the Mystic Realm possessed special flames like Earth Rock Fire.

Only a few possessed Beast Spirit Fire.

As for Heavenly Spirit Fire, it was even more rare.

Anyone possessing Heavenly Spirit Fire would become one of the most powerful individuals on the Mystic Realm continent.

Chen Yang didn’t even dare think of such a thing as Heavenly Spirit Fire, as acquiring this Earth Rock Fire was enough to satisfy him.

With the summoning of Earth Rock Fire, Chen Yang spread his hand, and a scorching flame immediately burned in his palm.

The flame appeared yellow-red, a typical lava color.

The temperature of the flame was extremely high.

A casual toss could penetrate a large stone, even reducing it to ashes leaving nothing behind.

Such a powerful flame was beneficial for alchemy.

It aids the alchemist in extracting the essence from objects more quickly and speeds up pill formation.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the alchemist can skillfully control the flame’s temperature and manage the fire.

Alchemy is a meticulous art, if not mastered, precious materials will directly turn to ash.

"Let’s give it a try; I’m experienced in controlling the fire."

Chen Yang shot out a burst of flame from his hand that flew into the sky.

And halted mid-air.

The flames paused but continued to burn fiercely.

"Time to start alchemy!"

Chen Yang’s mind focused, and he immediately began alchemizing according to the recipe’s instructions.

Step by step, he carefully tossed materials into the flame.

Meanwhile, his left hand delicately controlled the fire.

Burning materials to extract their essence, without allowing the fire to be too fierce, lest the essence be reduced to ash before extraction.

The crafting of the Nurturing Spirit Pill wasn’t overly complex.

He only needed to add over thirty ingredients.

All that’s required is to extract the essence from over thirty ingredients and blend them together to form a pill.

This process appears simple but the actual difficulty is something only Chen Yang understood.

Despite being able to cultivate for days normally, he was already sweating profusely after adding just ten ingredients.

The repeated operations and precise fire control greatly taxed him.

An average beginner wouldn’t be able to endure to this point.

The first herb thrown into the flames would have been incinerated immediately.

Chen Yang managed to persevere, which was already a remarkable feat.

His first attempt eventually failed at the nineteenth herb’s critical moment.

Due to nervousness and excessive repetition, the flame’s power increased slightly, causing all extracted essence to either evaporate or burn away.

Leaving nothing behind.

Phew, phew...

Chen Yang took two deep breaths and adjusted his mindset slightly.

"Let’s try again."

With renewed determination, he tried once more.

Constantly controlling the fire, adding herbs... repeating the process back and forth.

After dozens of attempts and failures.

Finally, on the seventeenth attempt, he succeeded.

As the final herb was added, it slowly transformed into essence and began blending...

Ultimately, under a gentle flame’s baking, an elixir formed.

A cyan elixir!

It worked!

As he looked at the pill, Chen Yang was immensely elated.

At the moment of success, he immediately extinguished the flames and caught the pill in his hand.

The subtle aroma emanating from the pill and the residual heat thrilled Chen Yang.

This was the first pill he crafted.

This marked his official transition into an alchemist.

"Let’s see if there are any discrepancies with the recipe."

After a burst of excitement, Chen Yang quickly took out the recipe to check the pill’s appearance and color for any issues.

After confirming it all thoroughly, he finally relaxed knowing he truly succeeded.

"Wonderful, hard work pays off."

Chen Yang was extremely enthusiastic and excited.

However, he didn’t stop alchemizing just because he had crafted the Nurturing Spirit Pill.

After being joyful for a moment, his mindset quickly calmed down.

And he took out the second recipe.
