Ultimate Upgrading System

"We'll meet again after you've finished refining the medicinal pill." As Wang Mingxuan spoke, he took out a dozen or so paper cranes from his pocket and handed them to Yang Ying. "Senior Brother Yang, you have used up most of your paper cranes, right? You can take these with you."    

    

He pointed at a few of them and said, "These are specially for me!"    

    

Yang Ying also made a few paper cranes and handed them to Wang Mingxuan. He said, "Junior Brother Wang, if you need anything, use paper cranes to inform me! I'll be leaving now. Goodbye!"    

    

Yang Ying did not say anything more and turned around to run towards his cottage. Wang Mingxuan chased after him out of the cottage, but all he saw was Yang Ying's back.    

    

He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw Yang Ying walk away. He said, "I forgot to tell him that there are still two missing medicinal herbs. I think he will definitely find out when he goes back to check the medicinal herbs!"    

    

He did not think too much about it. He turned around and walked towards his own house.    

    

Yang Ying returned to his house and took out the medicinal herbs that Deacon Faang and Wang Mingxuan had obtained.    

    

First, he took out the medicinal herbs required by the Earth Core Pill. He counted and found that there were over 60 sets of medicinal herbs. He placed all of them in a corner of the Storage Bag.    

    

After that, he took out the medicinal herbs required by the Purple Heart Detoxification Pill, Dragon Tiger Pill, and Body Recovery Pill respectively. He took 10 sets of each of these medicinal herbs and placed them in another corner of the Storage Bag.    

    

Following that, he organized the remaining medicinal ingredients and discovered that the two medicinal ingredients that Wang Mingxuan gave him were missing the Snow Spirit Milk and Heavenly Horse Treasure Ganoderma. These two medicinal ingredients were necessary to refine the Pure Essence Pill. This meant that Yang Ying was temporarily unable to refine the Pure Essence Pill.    

    

Fortunately, this Pure Essence Pill was only used to purify the true essence. He only needed to consume the Pure Essence Pill before breaking through to the Golden Core Stage. He could only give up on the idea of refining this Pure Essence Pill.    

    

Finally, he organized the medicinal ingredients for the Dieting Pill and Heavenly Heart Pill. These two medicinal pills were the same as the Pure Essence Pill, they were both picked from the Chaos Pill Scripture.    

    

According to the description of the Chaos Pill Scripture, the effects of these four pills were as follows:    

    

Dieting Pill: After consuming this pill, low level cultivators won't need to eat for a period of time. The specific time will be determined by the quality of the pill.    

    

Heavenly Heart Pill: An advanced version of the Earth Core Pill. It can provide a large amount of pure Spirit energy to speed up cultivation. Only Golden Core Stage cultivators can use this pill.    

    

Pure Essence Pill: Purify the true essence in one's body and increase the degree of condensation of the true essence. It can obviously increase the chance of breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.    

    

There were a lot of herbs in the Dieting Pill, about 10 portions. The amount of herbs needed for the Heavenly Heart Pill was relatively small. After Yang Ying sorted them out, he found that there were only 7 portions in total.    

    

Yang Ying had recalled the refining method for the Dieting Pill and Heavenly Heart Pill according to the records of the Chaos Pill Scripture. In terms of the difficulty of refining the medicinal pill, to the current Yang Ying, the refinement of the Dieting Pill was much more difficult than the refinement of the Earth Core Pill. As for the refinement of the Heavenly Heart Pill, it was much more difficult than the refinement of the Dieting Pill.    

    

Yang Ying no longer hesitated. He decided to refine two portions of the Earth Core Pill first. If everything went smoothly, he would immediately continue refining the Dieting Pill.    

    

Yang Ying refined two portions of the Earth Core Pill according to the method from the last time. The refinement this time was the same as the last time. Finally, he obtained 10 High-grade Earth Core Pill and supreme grade Earth Core Pill each.    

    

Yang Ying did not hesitate any longer. After adjusting his breathing for a period of time and adjusting his condition to the best state, he took out the medicinal ingredients of the Dieting Pill and began refining the Dieting Pill. The refinement of this Dieting Pill was the first obstacle to him.    

    

Yang Ying carefully recalled the refinement of the Dieting Pill in his mind. The entire process of the refinement was clearly displayed in his mind.    

    

Only then did Yang Ying open his eyes. With a move of his hand, the first medicinal ingredient of the Dieting Pill in the Storage Bag appeared in his hand. He calmly processed the medicinal ingredients. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest bit of delay. It was as if he had already processed the medicinal ingredients of the Dieting Pill many times.    

    

After a quarter of an hour, all the medicinal ingredients had already been processed.    

    

Yang Ying activated the true essence and activated the Formation at the bottom level of the Pill Furnace. The flame rose from the Pill Furnace, and soon, the color of the flame stabilized at yellow.    

    

He sensed the changes in the temperature of the Pill Furnace. At a certain point in time, his right hand began to move. He took a medicinal herb and threw it into the Pill Furnace. The medicinal herb rolled within the Pill Furnace.    

    

As time passed, the surface of the medicinal herb became shriveled while the essence of the medicinal herb slowly overflowed.    

    

When the essence of the medicinal herb separated from the surface of the medicinal herb, the medicinal herb could not withstand the roasting of the fire. Yang Ying sent the medicinal herb waste to the isolation layer of the Pill Furnace.    

    

Yang Ying's face did not change at all. He saw that the essence of the medicinal herbs had already been extracted and condensed into a ball within the Pill Furnace. He took a herb Vitality Fruit from the side and threw it into the alchemy furnace. His left hand did not stop, and continued to inject the true essence into the Pill Furnace.    

    

After a moment, several medicinal herbs were thrown into the furnace and spat out their essence. The essence slowly merged together. Yang Ying took a good look at the time and threw the last medicinal herb into the Pill Furnace. As the medicinal herb was thrown in, the Pill Furnace seemed to boil.    

    

After a long while, the impurities in the medicinal liquid became lesser and lesser as it rolled. When the impurities in the medicinal liquid were no longer produced, Yang Ying's Hand Spell changed.    

    

With the transformation of the Hand Spell, the medicinal liquid slowly began to fuse under the influence of the true essence and the surrounding Spirit. In the process of fusing, the medicinal liquid slowly became pure. Vaguely, this medicinal liquid seemed to emit a reddish-brown light.    

    

The instant the medicinal liquid stopped changing, Yang Ying seemed to have seen the changes in the medicinal liquid through the Pill Furnace. His Hand Spell changed once again, and he used the Pill Forming Hand Technique.    

    

As this Hand Spell was used, the various parts of the medicinal liquid seemed to be attracted by something, and they were naturally divided into ten parts, flowing in different directions. The flames within the Pill Furnace also gradually became smaller, and the medicinal liquid began to solidify as the temperature of the Pill Furnace lowered.    

    

Yang Ying saw that the time was right, so he opened the lid with his left hand and used the Pill Gathering Hand Technique with his right hand. The ten medicinal pills seemed to have been drawn in, and they all rushed towards the medicinal bottles.    

    

Yang Ying couldn't help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. This time, his pill refinement could be considered to have succeeded. Although he did not know the quality of the medicinal pill, at least he successfully refined 10 Dieting Pill in his first attempt to refine the Dieting Pill.    

    

He opened the medicinal bottle and poured these 10 medicinal pills into his palm. After that, he impatiently looked at the medicinal pills in his palm. With a glance, he saw ten reddish-brown Dieting Pill rushing towards his palm.    

    

Facing the light, he carefully observed these Dieting Pill. Among them, three of them had a faint pill lingering on their surface. They should be supreme grade Dieting Pill. As for the remaining seven Dieting Pill, he compared them to the Chaos Pill Scripture's description and confirmed that they should be top grade Dieting Pill.
