Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Unexpectedly, it happened!

Lu Yu carefully examined the spirit beast pill, which had lost even its name, with its dual attributes of gold and fire.

The spirit beast pill was hot and heavy in his hand, occasionally splashing out a few sparks.

Its surface was incredibly smooth, even as transparent as a mirror. The overall color was a brownish-yellow, with concentric circles of deep red flame patterns constantly flickering.

A young female cultivator stood still beside him, her face showing an expression of disbelief.

Some frivolous people had unexpectedly succeeded in the first evaluation test, which they would usually lose eight or nine out of ten times. And those who could participate in the evaluation were all exceptional disciples of the Qingyun Shangmen.

To become a disciple of the Qingyun Shangmen was already a one-in-a-million chance.

Only through layers of selection could one become a rare guest disciple of the Tianji.

And becoming a guest disciple of the Tianji meant that the sect would invest a large amount of resources, even using elixirs to forcefully reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the adjacent room next to the quiet room, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators responsible for the evaluation were equally dumbfounded.

They had originally thought that this was just a fluke.

But after seeing Lu Yu successfully refine the spirit beast pill multiple times, they finally confirmed that he had mastered the method of refining this pill.

"Good! Very good!"

"Although the method is a bit clever, to come up with such a method to repair the pill formula is truly shocking!"

"It seems that in terms of refining spirit beast pills, his methods, understanding, and abilities far surpass those of cultivators of the same level."

In addition to their expressions of astonishment, the three cultivators also showed some excitement.

However, one of them hesitated and said, "Being able to refine the pill doesn't necessarily mean that it will have the corresponding effects."

Upon hearing this, the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators, who were excited, fell silent.

They had also experienced the process of repairing ancient pill formulas. There were many different methods to repair a severely damaged pill formula, but not every method could achieve the effects described in the formula.

If Lu Yu's direction in repairing the pill formula was wrong from the beginning, then even if his technique was exquisite, the final result would still be far from satisfactory.

It seems that everything is still unknown!

In the quiet room.

Lu Yu converted all the remaining materials into spirit beast pills.

Although he had succeeded once, there were still many failures in the subsequent refining.

He could have refined all the remaining materials at once.

But after some thought, he felt that it was not safe to do so.

In the hundreds of experiments before, Lu Yu had also discovered other feasible methods of refining.

So, he tried each of his ideas one by one.

Fortunately, he succeeded in many methods in the end.

In addition to using the principle of tempering from his previous life to make the golden attribute spiritual energy harder, he also tried to divide a spirit beast pill into two parts and refine them separately.

By changing the ratio of different gold and fire attribute spiritual energies, he could create spirit beast pills with sharp or explosive characteristics.

In the end, although there were only five materials, he obtained fifty spirit beast pills.

Lu Yu flipped his hand and took out a jade slip to record his insights. He closed his eyes and focused, then handed the recorded jade slip to the young female cultivator.

The female cultivator took the jade slip, turned around, and left the quiet room.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the adjacent room, after observing Lu Yu's performance through the peeping mirror, showed a sense of urgency and waited at the door.

Before the young female cultivator could open the door, one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators took the recorded jade slip.

...

In the room where the shopkeeper of the third floor was located.

Upon hearing the commotion in the adjacent room used for evaluation trials, he immediately walked out and looked over.

After receiving the jade slip from the young female cultivator and returning to his room, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered around the jade slip, all eager to be the first to read it.

After a long time, they all looked at each other with astonishment after reading it.

They all looked at the prepared answers in advance.

As for the answer provided by Lu Yu, it cannot be said to be very different, but rather completely different.

There is even the addition of water attribute spiritual energy in the Ling Beast Pill that only requires gold and fire attributes.

Isn't this nonsense?

Looking at the nonsensical insights recorded by Lu Yu, the three of them were disappointed.

The young female cultivator standing by hesitated and said, "Senior, should we continue the evaluation?"

Upon hearing this, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at each other.

One of them frowned and said, "Let's continue testing him with the second question."

...

The young female cultivator received the order and returned to the quiet room where Lu Yu was.

After tidying up a bit, she placed three sets of materials on the table.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, here is the second test question."

Lu Yu nodded upon hearing this, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

This meditation session lasted for five days.

It was only after five days that he finally reached out to take the jade slip.

The young female cultivator saw that Lu Yu finally made a move and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"This time, Fellow Daoist needs to refine a special pill formula."

"These three sets of materials are just temporary."

"If all three sets fail to be refined, you can continue to request more until you succeed."

Lu Yu was slightly stunned upon hearing this and asked, "Are you saying that even if I keep failing, it doesn't matter as long as I eventually succeed?"

...

The ability of a pill refiner to refine Ling Beast Pills is mainly influenced by three factors.

The first is the level of spiritual power. From the basic Dashi Pill to the Baosheng Pill, this is the case.

By infusing the materials with the cultivator's abundant spiritual power, the Ling Beast can borrow the cultivator's spiritual power when consuming the Ling Beast Pill.

This is also why many cultivators are unwilling to become pill refiners. If all their spiritual power is used to infuse Ling Beast Pills, how can they improve their cultivation?

The second factor is the control of divine sense, as refining Ling Beast Pills requires mass production of materials at once.

This is why Lu Yu only uses the method of splitting and refining materials when repairing pill formulas.

Most materials are sold in quantities of one hundred Ling Beast Pills.

The third factor is the understanding of the pill formula. Even if the steps are the same, there are various descriptions.

Even with insights, it is impossible to reproduce the refining process exactly as it is, and the differences can be imagined.

This third point is particularly difficult. Those with slightly better talent can quickly grasp it through their comprehension, while those with poor talent can only rely on refining more Ling Beast Pills and making slight adjustments each time to improve the quality of the output.

Upon hearing about this special assessment condition, Lu Yu understood that the other party was testing his understanding of refining Ling Beast Pills.

He infused his divine sense into the jade slip.

This was another pill formula without a name.

It seemed that the pill formulas used in the assessment process intentionally had their names erased.

Just with a quick glance, Lu Yu's face showed a troubled expression.

This pill formula was not like the previous one, as it had many missing parts.

Even at the end of the jade slip, there were additional insights on refining.

However, this pill formula was several times more complex than any other pill formula Lu Yu had encountered before.

Not only did it involve three different attributes, but it also required the use of hundreds of materials.

Not only did he have to repeatedly refine various spiritual energy attributes in the materials, but he also had to blend them together through hundreds of refining steps.

Lu Yu, who was initially relaxed, now felt a heavy heart.

Truly worthy of being a guest pill refiner of Qingyun Commercial Alliance, this kind of assessment question was almost as difficult as reaching the heavens.
