“Chen Shouyi waved his hand and said, ‘You all can disperse.’”

Immortal Maiden Bi Luo asked, “Are there any materials left?”

Chen Shouyi smiled bitterly and said, “There are none for now. This is the last batch. We need to continue collecting materials.”

Immortal Maiden Bi Luo turned around and left, saying, “I’ll go collect them. You think it through and find a way to condense the elixir as soon as possible!”

The crowd dispersed silently. Mi Xiaojing saw Hong Qing, who had a triumphant look on his face as if Chen Shouyi’s failure was his victory.

Mi Xiaojing didn’t go home but chose a pill room instead. He could now choose a relatively better pill room.

The pill rooms available for Foundation Establishment cultivators generally had better fire control, but the pill cauldrons were still average. They were only slightly better than those used by Qi Refining cultivators, which Mi Xiaojing naturally looked down upon.

Mi Xiaojing carefully selected this pill room. He didn’t care about the size or the quality of the pill cauldron inside the pill room. He only cared about the stability of the fire and the controllable temperature.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had looked at every pill room and then chose a suitable one. This pill room might seem average to others, but it was different for Mi Xiaojing. He had his own way of discerning.

He put aside the original pill cauldron and took out his own Blaze Cloud Cauldron, placing it directly on the fire hole.

This was how low-level alchemy worked. It relied on the fire. Once he advanced to the Elemental Infant stage and had a good pill cauldron, he wouldn’t need the help of the fire anymore. At that time, alchemy would consume spirit stones, and the pill cauldrons would come with their own flame formations. The higher the level of the pill cauldron, the better the fire formation it would have. Top-tier pill cauldrons might even have treasures like fire essence.

He used a technique, and the Blaze Cloud Cauldron expanded and quickly stabilized on the fire hole.

He activated the formations around the Blaze Cloud Cauldron and adjusted the fire control formation slightly according to Wang Weijun’s instructions. This was also very important. If he didn’t understand it and refined pills like this, the control of the fire would be slightly lacking. Although it was just a small difference, the results of alchemy would be vastly different.

Wang Weijun reminded him of these small details. As a former expert in the Unity stage, such things were easy for him.

Mi Xiaojing easily refined some Qi Refining Pills. It was really easy. No matter which pill he refined, most of them turned out to be high-grade pills. He also refined several Clear Tranquility Pills, which were extremely smooth. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the materials to refine Foundation Establishment Pills; otherwise, he would have wanted to refine several batches of them.

After two days of tinkering, Mi Xiaojing refined all the materials for Qi Refining Pills and Clear Tranquility Pills into pills. He felt much more proficient in his technique. He then took out the materials for Cultivating Essence Pills and prepared to refine them.

Cultivating Essence Pills were the oldest type of spirit pills. Due to their unique refining method, there were very few sects in the cultivation world that possessed them. Even if they did, it was difficult to refine them. Therefore, Cultivating Essence Pills were gradually disappearing, not because they were not good, but because the number of people who could refine them was too scarce.

These spirit pills belonged to the ancient pill formulas. Once they appeared on the market, they would be bought at a high price. However, in recent decades, these spirit pills had become increasingly rare, and many cultivators didn’t even know about them.

Wang Weijun obtained the ancient pill formula for this pill at a great cost of time and effort. It greatly helped his cultivation back then, so the inheritance Mi Xiaojing received was quite powerful. However, he was currently lacking practical experience.

As long as he succeeded in refining it once, he would be able to produce Cultivating Essence Pills continuously in the future. Of course, with the cultivation of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, the help of Cultivating Essence Pills would be relatively small. But even so, Cultivating Essence Pills were still excellent pills for cultivating.

Mi Xiaojing began to process the various materials. The materials for Cultivating Essence Pills were not complicated; there were only seven types, six of which could be artificially cultivated and obtained from the Grass-Benevolence Hall.

There was also a kind of spirit herb that was not a rare variety and could be purchased in the market. Therefore, Mi Xiaojing had accumulated enough materials for Cultivating Essence Pills.

He strictly followed the inherited experience to refine the pills. Mi Xiaojing had no other ideas; he just wanted to refine the pills step by step. He wouldn’t make any arbitrary actions. Wang Weijun was very satisfied with this. He firmly believed that as long as Mi Xiaojing followed the method of the inheritance to refine the pills, he would definitely succeed.

Mi Xiaojing carefully refined the Cultivating Essence Pills. It went smoothly all the way. After all, Wang Weijun’s experience was extraordinary. As time passed, he finally reached the step of condensing the elixir. Mi Xiaojing had the unique incantation and technique for condensing the elixir given by Wang Weijun. Moreover, there were special modifications for the Cultivating Essence Pills, which could increase the success rate of condensing the elixir.

Without any surprises, Mi Xiaojing succeeded in his first batch of pills. Although they were not high-grade pills, they were not low-grade either. They were three middle-grade pills.

Mi Xiaojing was already very exhausted at this point. He thought for a moment and decided to temporarily give up refining pills and instead focus on cultivation in the pill room.

He already had the power of the Starry Sky within his body. Even if Mi Xiaojing was in a pill room inside a cave, he could still draw in starlight into his body. The dominance of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was evident here. Once he had the power of the Starry Sky, he could absorb starlight no matter where he was, even if he was cultivating during the day or underground. It wouldn’t be affected.

Just by activating the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, Mi Xiaojing immediately sensed the starlight entering his body silently and seamlessly. This made Mi Xiaojing very happy. Originally, he didn’t fully believe in the records of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, but now he was completely convinced. It really worked. It should be noted that he was currently deep underground, cultivating inside the mountain.

During his second cultivation session, the speed at which starlight entered his body didn’t change at all. The starlight formed into Starry Qi, which, after a period of nourishment, would condense into Starry True Essence in his body. Currently, Mi Xiaojing only had a trace of Starry True Essence in his body. The rest was all Starry Qi. This transformation process was the process of Mi Xiaojing’s progress.

The cultivation speed was incredibly fast. In just half an hour, the starlight that had been consumed was completely replenished.

Mi Xiaojing was also greatly surprised. He didn’t expect the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art to cultivate at such a fast speed. This gave him time. It should be known that time was what cultivators lacked the most. Due to spending a lot of time on cultivation, it was difficult to learn other things. The key was that there wasn’t enough time.

Originally, Mi Xiaojing planned to cultivate for half a day, but the result was that it only took half an hour. He didn’t continue refining pills because he had another task, which was Evolutionary Immortality. He had already made up his mind not to give up on it in this lifetime.

Reciting the true incantation, the true incantation characters flew out from the Mantra Banner, accompanying Mi Xiaojing’s recitation. These true incantation characters quickly merged into the Starry Qi and turned into extremely tiny golden lights…
