Chapter 1655 Only Advance, Not Retreat
Chapter 1655: Only Advance, Not Retreat Chapter 1655: Only Advance, Not Retreat Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Next, the gap between Braydon and the pill banished immortal was revealed. A tribulation body was a tribulation body! It originated from the original body.
In front of Braydon Neal, there was a pill cauldron as tall as a person. The flames inside were extremely strange—gray true fire! Primordial chaos fire. If Braydon hadn’t carved 13 primordial chaos runes on the cauldron, the entire thing would have been burned to ashes. The pill cauldron almost collapsed, not to mention the spirit herbs! Braydon had burned seven portions of spirit herbs in a row with the primordial chaos fire. All the spirit herbs, including the main ingredient, the six-petal heart-connecting flower, were completely burned by the primordial chaos fire and turned into a wisp of smoke.
Braydon was silent for a long time. He kept experimenting and instinctively felt that the primordial chaos fire was the most suitable flame for refining pills. As expected! The ten-thousand-year-old heart-connecting flower was suspended above the pill cauldron, and the entire spirit herb quickly decomposed. The roots, branches, and leaves were all discarded. The essence that was used was the essence of the six-petal flower. Six drops of essence were extracted!
Braydon carefully suppressed the primordial chaos fire. There was only one cluster of primordial chaos fire in the entire cauldron.
It was like a small flame! Even so, he didn’t dare to let the spirit herb essence get too close. Primordial chaos had the power to suppress all paths. This included spirit herbs. If they got too close, they would be quickly decomposed. It was precisely this characteristic, especially when it was used to decompose spirit herbs, true fire could be used to extract them.
Braydon’s left hand moved slightly, and 19 types of spirit herbs were thrown into the cauldron. They were hung high above the cauldron, and the essence was extracted one by one.
A total of twenty balls of essence hung above the pill cauldron. It was not difficult for Braydon to divide his mind into twenty tasks. Each ball of essence started to spin automatically, and the spinning speed increased rapidly. It could rotate ten times or even a hundred times in a second, forming small vortices. As black dots flew out, each ball of essence became even more alluring. These were all impurities. Every spirit herb would inevitably produce impurities when absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This was just like the human body!
In order to improve the quality of the medicinal pill, the first step, extraction, was extremely important. If the impurities were not completely removed, not only would the quality of the medicinal pill not improve, but seventy to eighty percent of the pills would be useless, or even all of them. Braydon looked at the twenty small vortices.
It seemed that all the impurities had been removed. Then, it was time to fuse!
He could not make a single mistake in fusing twenty lumps of spirit herbs, much less fuse them randomly! The order was crucial. The essence of the six-petal flower was the foundation. The essence of all the spirit herbs would ultimately have to revolve around the six-petal heart-connecting flower to fuse. Braydon was not worried about these basic skills. What he was really concerned about was the quality of the Spirit Opening Pill if he continued to refine it like this.
If it was refined at this level, the quality of the Spirit Opening Pill would be low-grade. If that was the case, Braydon would only be able to concoct a superior-grade Spirit Opening Pill even if he tried his best. As for supreme-grade, he was probably not destined to achieve it! Because of the changes in the space battlefield, Braydon couldn’t afford to spend decades here. That would not be worth it!
After entering the space battlefield, any breathing time was especially precious! The demon army could make a comeback at any moment. By then, the person who came would definitely have a cultivation level far higher than Borhati Kadeye’s. The long-awaited pressure once again pushed Braydon not to relax. This was how the battlefield should be.
Whoever dared to slack off would have less hope of surviving when facing the enemy’s butcher knife in the future. At this moment, Braydon was staring at the pill cauldron. The spirit herb essences had already been fused. This step was extremely time-consuming and could not be rushed.
Braydon looked at the lump of spirit liquid essence. It was originally emitting a medicinal fragrance that was refreshing to the heart, but the medicinal fragrance gradually disappeared. The fragrance was restrained, and the medicinal effects were also being summoned. The spirit liquid essence showed signs of solidifying.
Swoosh! Braydon’s mental power enveloped him, and with a thought, he split it into ten small pills. The medicinal effects of the ten small pills were very stable. This meant that ten small pills were not a problem. Once it was produced, the lowest quality would be low-grade. Braydon pressed ten small pills in his palm and placed them near a flame at the bottom of the cauldron. Ten small pills quickly formed.
A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out of the pill cauldron. The ten scalding medicinal pills were wrapped in brown pill shells on the outside, making it impossible to see through the quality of the medicinal pills inside. Even mental power couldn’t penetrate it. The pills were out! A total of ten pills floated in Braydon’s palm. Every single one of them was boiling hot.
“Let me take a look!” The pill banished immortal walked over with a hopeful look in his eyes.
Braydon nodded lightly. In the next moment, the pill banished immortal crushed a pill, and it emitted a strong medicinal fragrance. The medicinal fragrance assailed his nostrils, and it was shockingly rich!
“Quality, medium!” The pill banished immortal had not consumed it, so he could see the quality of the medicinal pill at a glance. Above average!
Bang! Braydon turned his hand and shattered the remaining nine pills. All the pill shells were torn apart. Nine round pills were revealed. Two of the pills were round and white. Braydon stared at them and could feel the strong medicinal power contained in them.
These two Spirit Opening Pills were high-grade! Quality, up! They consisted of two superior-grade Spirit Opening Pills, three medium-grade Spirit Opening Pills, and five low-grade Spirit Opening Pills.
“A low-grade Spirit Opening Pill is sold for hundreds of battle merits in the military warehouse,” Braydon said softly.
“A middle-grade Spirit Opening Pill is sold for 300 battle merits, and a superior-grade Spirit Opening Pill is sold for 500 battle merits at the very least!” The price of Spirit Opening Pills of different grades could differ by three to five times. It all depended on the alchemist. However, a set of refining materials only cost 10 battle merits. They could earn ten or even a hundred times the profits.
Braydon finally understood why so many cultivators in the universe would rack their brains to become alchemists. An alchemist could earn a great deal of money! A high-level alchemist was enough to support the consumption of a large force. They could even become the honored guests of any major faction, with experts following and escorting them!
Braydon was not excited at all because his ultimate goal was the supreme-grade Spirit Opening Pill. Only the supreme-grade pill could allow the men of the Northern Army to quickly surpass the holy master realm and reach the saint heart realm. Once they reached the saint heart realm, he would sell supreme-grade Spirit Opening Pills and summon treasures like the Universe Spiritual Spring, once again boosting the cultivation of all the soldiers.
In this universe, all races and all living beings faced the same path. It was a path that kept going upwards. This path could only be advanced, not retreated! Those who entered were born. Those who retreated would die! There was no other reason. When the myriad races fought, they only respected the strong. The weak would even be deprived of their right to live.
Therefore, the Northern Army followed their commander and entered the endless starry sky. The first stop was the starry sky battlefield. They needed strength to survive. Braydon took out another set of materials. He opened the cauldron to refine pills. Twenty types of spirit herbs were suspended above the pill cauldron. Braydon suppressed it for a quarter of an hour before proceeding with the most basic extraction.
The second step was still to purify and extract, turning it into a small vortex that continued to spin. Then, in the third step, the viscous spirit liquid turned into threads that circled around Braydon’s fingertips. They were like cotton candy threads in the pill cauldron.
