Yun Jin stood in place without moving.
She was thinking about which pill formula to learn first.
She was now at Nascent Soul Stage, in theory, she could refine fourth-grade pills.
However.
Ye Liuqin and the others were already at Soul Transformation Stage, they were most likely already fifth-rank alchemists. The pills they brought out would definitely be among the more rare ones within fifth-grade pills.
To suppress them, she needed to think carefully.
A perfect-quality fourth-grade pill might win, but that would only be a narrow victory.
It would be best to learn a fifth-grade pill formula.
With her mental power level far exceeding Nascent Soul Stage, if she spent more Emotion Points, a fifth-grade pill formula shouldn't be difficult.
Yue Zhao knew she could analyze a pill and derive a single formula from it. During these days, he had been helping her search for pills on the market.
In the storage ring left behind by Cang Li, there were also some fifth-grade pills.
Considering all this, she still had quite a bit of room to choose.
Yun Jin studied for a while and finally chose one of extremely high difficulty among the fifth-grade pills, the "Divine Soul Pill".
This pill was extremely rare, it could increase soul power. It had very high requirements for an alchemist.
Most fifth-grade alchemists could theoretically refine this pill, but in reality, it was extremely difficult to learn.
This was because the pill's requirement for an alchemist's mental power was genuinely too high.
As for Yun Jin, it just so happened that in terms of mental power, she stood alone in the lead, far surpassing ordinary people. For her, these minor requirements were nothing.
According to the system's requirements, Yun Jin directly used Emotion Points to simplify and derive a perfect pill formula.
Looking at the final pill formula, Yun Jin frowned slightly.
The refining difficulty wasn't high. But the current problem was…
One medicinal ingredient seemed to be missing.
The storage ring Cang Li had given her had relatively large space. Yun Jin stored many medicinal herbs inside.
Yue Zhao had also been collecting them for her. This time when he came, Yue Zhao brought many newly collected medicinal materials.
All other materials for the Divine Soul Pill were complete. Only one was missing: Soul-Absorbing Grass.
That was somewhat regrettable.
Yun Jin was feeling regretful and was about to find another pill to refine.
Ye Liuqin's voice sounded, "Junior Sister Yun, have you encountered some difficulty?"
Yun Jin smiled slightly, "I originally wanted to refine the Divine Soul Pill. I just didn't expect to be missing one stalk of Soul-Absorbing Grass, so I cannot refine it."
Divine Soul Pill?
The few disciples of Xuandan Sect glanced at Yun Jin and couldn't help but sneer.
"Junior Sister Yun, the Divine Soul Pill's lowest grade is fifth-grade. Could it be that you want to refine a fifth-grade Divine Soul Pill? Even for Senior Sister Ye, out of ten attempts she only succeeds one or two times. You shouldn't waste medicinal materials."
"Junior Sister Yun shouldn't waste time. Take a pill to the stone house for verification, lest everyone's time be wasted."
Seeing Yun Jin's unusually calm appearance, Ye Liuqin's heart stirred. She said, "I happen to have one stalk of Soul-Absorbing Grass here. I can let Junior Sister Yun use it first."
As Ye Liuqin spoke, a box appeared in her palm. After opening it, a brightly colored spiritual plant was inside.
It was indeed Soul-Absorbing Grass!
"Senior Sister Ye, you have recently been focusing on researching the refinement of the Divine Soul Pill. You yourself do not have enough Soul-Absorbing Grass. How can you let her waste it like this?" Someone beside her was startled and couldn't help but stop her.
Ye Liuqin smiled, "It's nothing. It's just one stalk of Soul-Absorbing Grass, it's not worth much. Junior Sister Yun may try."
One stalk of Soul-Absorbing Grass wasn't particularly precious to Ye Liuqin. In comparison, she wanted to test whether Yun Jin was that genius alchemist.
Yun Jin thought for a moment and didn't decline. She said, "I will accept this medicinal herb. When the pill comes out of the furnace, I will give Senior Sister Ye one Divine Soul Pill."
The value of one Divine Soul Pill far exceeded one stalk of Soul-Absorbing Grass.
But the people of Xuandan Sect merely sneered.
What she said sounded like a good deal, but that was only if she could refine it successfully!
Senior Sister's stalk of Soul-Absorbing Grass was wasted.
Ye Liuqin smiled, "It's fine. Junior Sister Yun may begin."
Yun Jin nodded and took out the medicinal materials to be used one by one.
When Ye Liuqin saw them, her pupils slightly contracted.
These medicinal materials were completely different from the Divine Soul Pill formula in her hands.
Some were reduced, some were increased. Overall, the required medicinal materials were reduced quite a lot.
According to rumors, that alchemy genius used self-created pill formulas every time she refined pills.
Could it be… Yun Jin really was…?
Ye Liuqin focused her attention, she even used mental power, wanting to see every trace of detail clearly.
However.
Yun Jin's pill refinement had no details to speak of.
In Ye Liuqin's observation, she merely casually extracted the spiritual power from the spiritual plants and then directly threw them all at once into the pill furnace.
After that, the pill furnace actually operated on its own, just as in the rumors.
Ye Liuqin's expression changed slightly.
Such a method was exactly the same as the genius her master had described.
This Yun Jin, could she really be that person?
No!
One still had to see whether the pill could finally be formed!
Ye Liuqin watched seriously, but the other disciples of Xuandan Sect couldn't hold back.
Such a pill-refining method was simply laughable.
If this could form a pill, then had their years of diligent study and hard practice been in vain?
It was nothing more than wasting some spiritual plants and some time.
"Forget it, there's nothing more to say. The pill furnace will probably explode soon from refining pills like this. It won't waste a lot of time." A disciple of Xuandan Sect said.
"It's just a pity for these materials," another echoed.
Yun Jin acted as if she didn't hear them, she sat cross-legged and leisurely took out a bag of sunflower seeds.
In the end, it's still Eldest Senior Brother who understood her best.
This time when coming over, Eldest Senior Brother directly gave her a pile of sunflower seeds. Did he already anticipate such a scene?
When refining pills, it was indeed rather boring.
Although the pill furnace would operate on its own, a strand of her mental power had to remain connected to the pill furnace at all times, and she couldn't leave a range of fifty meters from the pill furnace.
One could only say that although this pill furnace had evolved, it hadn't evolved thoroughly enough.
It made it so that she had no choice but to stay within this area. If she didn't crack some sunflower seeds, she really couldn't endure through this waiting period.
This furnace of Divine Soul Pills had three pills in total. If the refinement went smoothly, it would require a full twelve hours.
At the beginning, only a few people were watching.
After that, others successively completed the challenges in their respective rooms and also came outside.
Thus, more and more people gathered to watch.
Yun Jin had inscribed six rooms in one go. Up to now, she had only completed one beast-taming trial. There were still five rooms left. If she didn't participate in the trials, the people of those five rooms wouldn't be able to obtain the final rewards.
Jin Yu was currently ranked first in the stone house of artifact control, but because Yun Jin hadn't yet completed the trial, he also couldn't obtain the final reward.
But Jin Yu wasn't anxious. He was merely somewhat curious about Yun Jin refining pills.
Then he couldn't help asking Ye Liuqin, "Is this some new pill-refining method?"
Sunflower-seed eating pill-refining method?
Ye Liuqin didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"She's acting so recklessly, yet this pill furnace is still operating properly?" Cheng Su's gaze flickered.
She had never refined pills before, but she also knew the general process of an alchemist refining pills, it was extremely complicated.
With Yun Jin acting so recklessly, how could it possibly last until now?
The disciples of the Xuandan Sect also began to hesitate.
It had already been one hour. The pill furnace and pills were still fine. There was even a faint medicinal fragrance spreading out.
This… what's going on?
Jin Yu watched and couldn't help but feel somewhat gloating, "It seems refining pills isn't that difficult? Sure enough, practicing the sword is still harder."
As soon as Jin Yu finished speaking.
Yun Jin finished cracking a small bag of sunflower seeds and felt somewhat bored.
She slowly stood up and took out the Tai'a Sword.
A strand of mental power was still on the pill furnace, so she had no way to practice overly profound things.
Then let's just casually practice swordsmanship.
It wouldn't do if it's too difficult, but simple sword techniques were still fine.
