Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2033 1485: Accident_2

Ultimately, should it succeed completely, the clan would secure at least three Creation Heavenly Pills.

"Alright, I understand. I will do my best." Noticing the anticipation in Li Debo's gaze, Li Zhirui lacked strong confidence and thus avoided making any promises.

Without delaying further, Li Debo delivered the spiritual materials and promptly departed.

"Phew—"

Gripping the hefty spiritual materials, Li Zhirui entered the Alchemy Room. He settled cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, arranged the items beside him, and refrained from beginning alchemy right away. Instead, he steadied his mind and prepared himself mentally.

Several hours later, he finally commenced the process.

Rather than adding Heavenly Immortal Rank Spirit Water first into the Pill Furnace, he cast Purification Light to cleanse every bit of built-up impurities from it!

This marked the initial occasion Li Zhirui had performed such a task since starting his alchemy practice.

Despite having crafted numerous Heavenly Immortal Rank Pills before, he had never approached it with such gravity, not even purifying the Pill Furnace to this extent.

With the Pill Furnace now utterly devoid of any impurity or foul smell, Li Zhirui added the Heavenly Immortal Rank Spirit Water. Next, he retrieved the primary Heavenly Immortal Rank material—Armor Essence Cyan Yuan Wood—along with five Earth Immortal Rank Wood Element Spiritual Objects, tossing them into the Pill Furnace while invoking spells to initiate refining.

Instantly, vast impurities were driven out, causing the spiritual objects—which had filled almost half the furnace—to contract dramatically, becoming fully compliant and shimmering with a subtle cyan glow, evidently purified to perfection.

Such meticulous details revealed the exceptional caliber of Li Zhirui's alchemy prowess.

Yet he harbored no complacency or joy, staying composed as he proceeded to extract Water-attribute Spiritual Objects—a pristine Mystic Lotus—plus Earth Immortal Rank ones.

Once refined, the Mystic Lotus alongside the other items vanished entirely, condensing into a profound blue water droplet suspended within the furnace.

Following the water attribute materials came the gold attribute, earth attribute, fire attribute, yang attribute, and finally yin attribute.

In the refining phase, Li Zhirui began with his strongest suit, the wood attribute, then adhered to the generative sequence of Yin Yang and Five Elements, performing impeccably without a single error.

Meanwhile, his internal mana barely diminished, eliminating the need to hastily consume the pills kept in his mouth.

Having refined all spiritual objects, seven unique essences appeared inside the Pill Furnace. Guided by Li Zhirui, they aligned with Yin Yang at the core, Five Elements surrounding, shaping into a gently spinning orb.

As rotation continued, the essences gradually merged.

Li Zhirui recognized this as a pivotal alchemy stage; of the five key steps—tempering, fusion, nourishing, dividing, condensing—the fusion of medicinal essences stood as the paramount one!

Any mishap here could mean that even a formed pill might lack reliable potency.

Therefore, he executed the incantation with resolute precision, though his face remained gravely focused, shunning any laxity.

However, as fusion advanced with more essences combining, challenges intensified, leaving Li Zhirui's brow slick with perspiration by the conclusion.

Gazing upon the pill embryo, which had integrated multiple essences yet turned volatile, his eyebrows knit together instinctively.

"I've failed…"

Though the blended essence persisted without total collapse, its instability had spiraled into disorder; pressing on wouldn't yield a Creation Heavenly Pill.

Nevertheless, Li Zhirui persisted undeterred, given the immense value of the spiritual materials. Despite the inevitable failure, the endeavor offered valuable insights.

A mere thought sufficed to dissolve the pill in his mouth into mana, which streamed into his dantian to fuel subsequent actions.

Under Li Zhirui's persistent control, the turbulent essence coalesced into a jet-black pill embryo, far from the ideal vivid seven-colored splendor.

He disregarded this—since it was doomed to fail anyway, it served merely as practice refuse.

Moments later, his ten fingers danced to alter the spell; spirit water essence within the furnace commenced nurturing the pill. Surprisingly, this imbued the dark pill with a faint sheen, as if stirring its innate spiritual nature.

"Could it be that I've stumbled upon a novel pill by chance?"

This idea prompted Li Zhirui to shed his indifference, sharpen his focus, and adopt a solemn demeanor.

Upon nurturing's end, the incantation shifted once more, conjuring an unseen blade inside the Pill Furnace to divide the pill into three segments.

Without pause, he unleashed the ultimate Condensing Pill Technique, leaving three glossy black pills floating amid the spirit water.

Li Zhirui collected the pills, curiosity flickering across his features. "I wonder what effects this unforeseen pill possesses."

While saying so, he delicately chipped off a fragment and tasted it, intent on assessing its properties.

Naturally, precautions were in place; should toxicity arise, Li Zhirui could swiftly dispel it via Spirit Light.

A considerable time passed before Li Zhirui's eyes fluttered open, his visage etched with an indescribable blend of remorse and dismay.

The cause lay herein: this serendipitous pill's effects clashed violently!

The Black Pill restored mana at astonishing speed—indeed, surpassing every pill Li Zhirui knew as the swiftest, with substantial total recovery unmatched by peers.

Merely a speck ingested had replenished half his mana in moments!

Swallowing a whole one, Li Zhirui figured, would refill his mana instantly, complete with excess.

Initially thrilled, he believed he'd forged an innovative Heavenly Immortal Rank pill—costly materials notwithstanding for mere mana replenishment.

Yet joy proved fleeting before calamity struck!

His dantian abruptly flooded with enormous volumes of tainted spirit aura!

To clarify, the Black Pill granted swift mana renewal, trailed closely by an overwhelming influx of contaminated spirit aura.

Precise reckoning shocked him: the tainted aura nearly matched the mana gained!

Mastery of purification laws defined Li Zhirui; for typical cultivators, unchecked tainted aura overwhelming the dantian spelled doom for cultivation base and foundations.

Destroying the trio of Black Pills never crossed Li Zhirui's mind. While others might shun them, he faced no such issue—Purification Light let him claim the boon while nullifying the bane.

Besides, he aimed to test purifying the pill's flaw outright.

Success here would arm Li Zhirui and the Li clan with a fresh Heavenly Immortal Rank pill formula, plus three remarkable pills.

Come future crises, boundless mana would stand ready for counteraction.

Li Zhirui probed the Black Pill with divine sense, tracing the tainted aura's source. It didn't take long to pinpoint.

Yet fixing it proved impossible!

For the offending element formed the pill's core efficacy; purging the flaw would erase its distinctive virtues simultaneously.

"Forget it—these three Black Pills serve as the surprise yield from this alchemy session."

With a flick of his hand, he stored the Black Pills away; their utility might arise someday.

Task complete, Li Zhirui banished distracting musings and reviewed the insights and pitfalls from his debut Creation Heavenly Pill refinement, determined to avoid recurrence.

Above all, the fusion of Yin Yang Five Elements spiritual essences seized his deepest focus and worry!

Preventing chaos in these essences during fusion posed Li Zhirui's paramount challenge—unresolved, no advancement was feasible.
