Chapter 907: Fourth Transformation Pill
"I heard that the Sanwei Medicine Master has a pair of disciples who are born twins. They are in tune with each other and can make medicine with their own hands."

"They have superb skills and a very high success rate. They are ninth-grade great pharmacists second only to spiritual pharmacists!"

The bitter soup pharmacist suddenly spoke up, "But even if we are brothers from the same mother, there are subtle differences between us. It is impossible for us to be 100% synchronized. But you and I are different."

"You and I are one, one thought with two bodies, and there is no loss or error in communication."

Zhou You nodded after listening to him. Well, from his tone he knew that the task was about to be accomplished.

In the alchemy furnace not far away, a large mass of medicinal liquid in the form of molten lava was rolling and floating, wriggling into various shapes.

It seemed as if it was about to transform into a dragon in the next moment, knock over the alchemy furnace, fly away into the air and disappear without a trace in an hour.

This strange scene is a strange scene that has never been seen in countless previous medicine refining processes. From this point of view, the reputation of Shenyuan Xumingdan as a miraculous pill is not false.

To be an expert in alchemy, one must be able to control the potency of the medicine and refine its properties. Natural materials and treasures are all the darlings of nature.
If you want to tame it into medicine, you must go through some training.

Zhou You was full of confidence. His alchemy skills were a combination of the Northern Medicine King School and the Dijing Alchemy School. Now with the help of this miraculous pill, he was finally going to blaze a new trail.

"The Shenyuan Life-Sustaining Pill will take four turns before it can be made into medicine."

One transformation becomes another, which implies the qualitative leap from raw materials to final medicinal materials. In the terminology of alchemy, there are many classifications, such as blossoming and bearing fruit, a natural outcome, a butterfly emerging from the cocoon, and light emerging from the ashes.

For example, the process of flowering and fruiting, this transformation into medicine is like the fruit hanging on the branch, first flowering and then fruiting.

The natural process is from liquid to solidification and formation, without any hassles or hastes.

Breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly is like hatching an egg. It needs to form an outer shell first, and then break it open to reveal the essence inside.

The most thrilling part is the process of creating light from the ashes. All the materials are burned to a gasified state, like ashes, and then rekindled in the ashes to condense into the final finished medicine.

All these are endless and are the strange changes in the process of making medicine, which are called "transformation".

The higher the level of the medicine, the more times you spin it, and the chance of failure doubles.

Once the medicinal materials exceed the fourth level, they have reached the level of spiritual medicine and cannot be made by anyone other than a spiritual pharmacist.

This rare elixir is stuck at the difficulty ceiling of the great pharmacist. If it is not beyond the system, the bitter soup pharmacist is not qualified to do it with his current professional level.

"here we go!"

A large mass of liquid in the alchemy furnace suddenly began to boil and evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The sudden and unusual changes made Zhou You and the bitter soup pharmacist very worried, fearing that it was an extreme sign of failure.

Within a few breaths, the medicinal liquid evaporated, the furnace was empty, and only the hot wind blew up large pieces of sparks and coal ash, as if foreshadowing failure.

"..."

Zhou You glanced at the bitter soup pharmacist, and the same thought arose in both of their minds at the same time.

They did not panic.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Martian coal ash swirled and gathered, as if being grasped by an invisible giant hand, and condensed out of nothing into a perfect spherical liquid ball, which was the liquid medicine that had just disappeared.

"The first turn, light emerges from the ashes."

The resurgence of the ashes and the birth of hope out of despair have completed the first transformation.

After the medicine ball underwent a transformation, although it was still changing, its overall outline had become more round and it was rotating back and forth in the alchemy furnace.

After a while, a layer of black shell appeared on the surface, with cracks like flowing lava.

In a moment, the medicine liquid condensed into a molten stone ball.

As the light of the lava continued to go out, the entire stone ball fell into silence and sank to the bottom of the furnace without any movement.

However, a subtle movement emerged, like a bird breaking through its shell, and a piece of stone ball shattered to the ground. A scent of medicine gushed out from the gap, and then the surging heat smashed the shell into pieces. When the medicine appeared again, it was more viscous than before, and it flowed with a glass color.

The second turn, breaking out of the shell and being reborn.

The third turn follows...

The sticky liquid then went through the process of seeds, sprouting, branching, greening and growth, and finally flowering, withering and bearing fruits, from green to large and mature.

At the moment of maturity, there is a slight snapping sound, as if breaking the ties of the knot.

After flowering and bearing fruit comes the crucial fourth turn, which is also the final stage.

Zhou You was a little nervous. He got through the first three turns without any major problems. He had to make sure that he didn't capsize in the last step, otherwise it would be too much of a blow.

“The fourth transformation is the emergence of a butterfly from a cocoon.”

This is metamorphosis, a leap and evolution of species.

At this stage, the outline of the pill has been formed, but the medicinal properties inside still need to undergo a transformation before they can be fully developed.

All the firepower of the alchemy furnace is concentrated on the surface of the pill, and under the manipulation of Zhou You and the others, the effect of external factors is stimulated to the maximum extent.

Inside the pill, a process of transformation and sublimation is taking place at a rapid pace.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou You's eyes turned red from being burned by the fire, his mental willpower had reached its limit, and he was on the verge of exploding from exhaustion.

Suddenly, I heard the bitter soup pharmacist remind me, "Watch it."

The next moment, with a snapping sound, the fist-sized pill split open and five balls of light of different sizes flew out.

Whoosh whoosh!
The iron door of the alchemy furnace was hit with a clanging sound, and the three-finger-thick iron door was hit with a dent as big as a billiard ball, accompanied by burn marks.

Two figures crossed in the air, their fingers intertwined to form a dragnet to catch the escaping pill.

"I got three, how about you?"

"Two!"

Zhou You and pharmacist Ku Tang were a pair, and this furnace produced a total of 5 Shenyuan Xuming Pills.

The lights of varying sizes seen in the alchemy furnace earlier were the concrete manifestation of the strength of the medicinal properties contained within.

That is to say...

There were five perfectly round pills lying in the palm of his hand. They were flawless in appearance, but the effects after taking them were mixed.

After inspection, the strongest one can extend life for two hundred and forty to fifty years, the weakest one can only extend life for one hundred and fifty years, and the remaining three are the most average, extending life by about two hundred years.

"The source of the Wulin Monument's golden body was dug out, and its foundation was damaged, shortening its lifespan by more than 200 years."

Zhou You estimated that the total amount of years of life gained from taking the five Shenyuan Life-Prolonging Pills was five times the amount he lost.

This business can be done, there is no loss, and you can make money.

Of course, it was Zhou You who earned the money, and only a small part of the Wulin Stele was finally in his hands.

At least Zhou You didn't plan to give the one with the strongest life-extending effect to the other party, but keep it for himself.

"I calculated that many days had passed. I guess he must have been getting anxious waiting."

Zhou You thought about it, hid the three ginseng life-extending pills, turned around and left the Tianzhu Mountain space and entered the circular world.

In the circular world, the Wulin Stele was still lying there, motionless, as if it was dead. But he was not dead after all, and he was holding on for his last breath, waiting for Zhou You to return.
