Chapter 697: 0698 Double Spiritual Power! (Fourth Update)

He opened the cauldron, and five Detoxification Pills made from five herbs were lying peacefully inside, emitting a faint luster, like divine artifacts.

Ye Qiu casually took out one and observed it closely for a moment, it was exactly as described in the pill manual, matching perfectly in both color and fragrance.

He placed the five pills into a small bottle and, without rest, Ye Qiu continued to open the furnace for more alchemy.

With the success of this experience, making the five-herb Detoxification Pills again became much easier and smoother.

He had long since memorized each step by heart, and as Ye Qiu kept adding herbs, a pill formula was integrated with a few breaths, causing the herbs inside the cauldron to fully release their medicinal properties and gradually meld together.

Ye Qiu’s eyes could see right through the cauldron; it was precisely these eyes that enabled him to create the five-herb Detoxification Pills.

By maintaining constant attention to the cauldron’s interior, he could make adjustments at any time, and in his sight, the dissolution of the herbs’ medicinal properties and the intersection of various energies, were all clear as day.

In less than half an hour, another batch of pills was ready.

There were about one hundred portions of herbs left, which Ye Qiu threw into the cauldron, all to be made into pills.

Whew...

When small bottles could no longer contain the five-herb Detoxification Pills, Ye Qiu had run out of raw materials. He counted them carefully, and there were several hundred pills in total.

"To have expended half of the Black Flame Power and produced so many pills is definitely worth it!" Ye Qiu crushed a five-herb Detoxification Pill, and its medicinal power took instant effect. Although there was no toxin in his body, Ye Qiu could convert this medicinal power into his own strength to restore his Black Flame Power.

Although the five-herb Detoxification Pill is not mainly an auxiliary training-type pill, it still contains a large amount of Spiritual Energy. After all, it is made from special herbs that absorb Spiritual Energy as they grow. Now that they have been refined into pills, their Spiritual Power is fully utilized and even amplified, providing significant help to a Martial Artist.

Swallowing the pills hastily, he crushed about thirty and used the power consumed by his Perspicacity Eyes, replenishing one-tenth of it in an instant. Although it did not recover as fast as absorbing a first-grade Crystal Stone, for Ye Qiu, the ability to create them was already a pleasant surprise.

"If I practice making other pills, even if they don’t come out successful every time, I should be able to produce a batch," Ye Qiu’s eyes glittered. The success in alchemy was of great significance to him, as he had been contemplating his future path ever since he prepared to try alchemy.

Facing the covetous ancient tribes of the ancient lands, his survival depended on having something to rely on, and now alchemy was his greatest asset.

Once he had produced several Spirit Pills recorded in the pill manual, he would possess the power to change the entire dynamic of the ancient tribes in the ancient lands.

For instance, if he had a pill that could help someone break through to the realm of legends, who wouldn’t want it? Even the Ji Clan would flock to him.

But Ye Qiu also understood one thing: now was not the time to reveal his identity as an Alchemist. Next, it would be time to attempt the production of other kinds of pills.

Ye Qiu planned to have Jin Shanshun continue to collect herbs. Even if there were no ancient herbs in the ancient lands, as long as the produced pills retained one-tenth of their medicinal power, it would be enough.

Just as numerous excited thoughts flashed through Ye Qiu’s mind, a wave of mental exhaustion hit him, making his legendary physique feel fatigued.

Ye Qiu had no choice but to sit down. These days, he had been practicing alchemy day and night, constantly on edge mentally. Now that he had finally succeeded, he relaxed and realized just how depleted his spiritual power had become.

Ye Qiu immediately sat down to rest and recover his spiritual power.

As time slowly passed by, when Ye Qiu opened his eyes again, a sharp divine light shot forth.

Finally recovered!

Ye Qiu let out a slight sigh of relief and, to his surprise, he found that his spiritual power had actually increased. If his original spiritual power was like a trickling stream, then it had now doubled.

Could alchemy actually increase spiritual power?

Ye Qiu felt a surge of unexpected joy in his heart, and he discovered that, with his current spiritual power, he could explore a range twice as large as before, sensing everything within a hundred meters.

Even in the dim light of the cave, without opening his eyes, Ye Qiu could perceive the pattern on a mosquito’s wing a hundred meters away.

This unexpected increase in spiritual power exceeded Ye Qiu’s imagination.

In front of him, his spiritual power could sense everything in a wide range extensively, and if his spiritual power kept increasing, what would it become?

Would he be able to control everything within a thousand li?

Or could he turn spiritual power into substance, becoming a powerful attack?

Ye Qiu harbored a bold idea in his heart regarding the use of spiritual power. It could be said that he knew very little about harnessing spiritual power. With his current realm, he wasn’t at the stage of cultivating spiritual power. However, the boost in spiritual power after alchemy gave Ye Qiu the idea of transforming spiritual power into an attack.

Imagine, when the time comes, without moving a hand, just a strike of spiritual power, how overwhelming would that be? It might kill an opponent directly.

This was a bold direction for speculation and one that he needed to explore.

While Ye Qiu was immersed in the joy of his increased spiritual power, Jin Shanshun took large strides and entered the cave.

Without opening his eyes, Ye Qiu knew that the person who had just entered was Jin Shanshun—having strong spiritual power indeed had many advantages.

A single act of alchemy not only opened another great door on Ye Qiu’s martial path but also led him to realize another direction for cultivation, the cultivation of spiritual power.

As long as he kept performing alchemy in the future, his spiritual power would surely continue to grow and even undergo substantial changes.

"Brother Ye," Jin Shanshun, seeing Ye Qiu’s eyes shining at him like torches, was startled.

It felt as if Ye Qiu’s eyes were two flames flickering in the cave.

Ye Qiu retracted his spiritual power and cracked a slight smile, "You’ve arrived."

Jin Shanshun glanced at the cauldron behind Ye Qiu and smelled the lingering fragrance in the air, puzzlingly said, "Where is this fragrance coming from? It smells very comfortable."

While he was still puzzled, Jin Shanshun noticed several small bottles beside Ye Qiu.

Could it be... Jin Shanshun’s eyes lit up as he tentatively asked, "Has the pill been refined?"

Ye Qiu nodded slightly and threw one of the bottles filled with Five Grass Detoxification Pills to Jin Shanshun.

Jin Shanshun caught the bottle and almost threw his back out, standing up straight after a while.

He opened the bottle cap, and immediately a fragrant medicinal scent assaulted his nostrils, causing him to involuntarily take a deep breath. Just the act of vigorously smelling the pill’s fragrance made him feel refreshingly comfortable; the effect would be even stronger if ingested.

"This is the Five Grass Detoxification Pill—it’s mainly used for detoxification and has no side effects. Even if you’re afflicted with various poisons, consuming it can help martial artists accumulate strength. Of course, it’s better to eat less, as it’s not a pill meant for aiding in cultivation," Ye Qiu slowly explained, while Jin Shanshun stood there stunned, looking at the numerous bottles beside Ye Qiu, his eyes wide open: "Brother Ye, don’t tell me that all the herbs I collected for you... have been transformed into these pills..."

In Jin Shanshun’s shock, Ye Qiu nodded slightly.

"This..." Even though Jin Shanshun didn’t understand pills, seeing Ye Qiu had actually refined so many of them, he couldn’t help but be utterly astonished.
