In other words, after this battle, Luo Ming had unknowingly made a breakthrough while he was recovering!
Although this situation wasn't unprecedented, it was still extremely rare. In order for a martial practitioner to break through a higher realm, they had to make many preparations. When they reached a bottleneck, they had to comprehend, experience, and even prepare a lot of resources.
For a battle like this one between Luo Ming and a severe injury, it was rare to see a person breaking through automatically while recovering. Even if he had only broken through to the Spirit Point realm, it was still quite rare.
This was a manifestation of his extraordinary talent. Bai Yu Zhe was confident that under his guidance, Luo Ming would definitely become one of the top geniuses on the Maze Chuan Continent.
Of course, he believed that the other eighteen Blood Guards wouldn't be lacking too much.
Luo Ming's treatment only took about half an hour. His injuries were lighter than Tie Ta's, and when he broke through, his injuries were healed faster because of the constant source energy.
As the two's injuries stabilized, Bai Yu Zhe could be considered relieved. In this situation, as long as he recuperated for a few more days, he would be able to fully recover.
At this moment, the sky was gradually brightening. It was just as Bai Yusheng had speculated. This col was definitely safe for now. After so long, no berserk beasts had come to disturb them.
At this moment, many people had already woken up. Although their injuries had yet to heal, their complexions were much better than yesterday. Although this battle had been tough, it had made a lot of progress for them.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before the eighteen blood guards would be able to break through to the Spirit Point realm. When that time came, their source energy would be much more abundant than those at the Heart's Gate.
After Bai Yu Zhe gave the order, everyone who woke up began to train in the morning. As they trained in the Desolate Mountain Ranges, they felt their minds become particularly clear. Every breath he took felt extremely fresh and refreshing.
Bai Yu Zhe waited until everyone woke up, then he asked everyone to protect him and began to refine the beast cores.
Refining a Vicious Beast Pill was much more troublesome than using ordinary medicinal herbs. Furthermore, as long as it was a Vicious Beast Pill, it would at least be a Tier 3 pill. In other words, there had to be the essence of a third level ferocious beast. The entire process would be a bit more troublesome.
All the ingredients were already in the furnace. Bai Yu Zhe sat cross-legged in front of the furnace. Fifteen of the eighteen blood guards formed a circle around him. The remaining three searched outside, so as to not disturb Bai Yu Zhe.
Both of Bai Yu Zhe's hands began to form a seal, the shape of the seal was like a mass of flame, source energy was surging, and the scorching atmosphere started to rise, following Bai Yu Zhe's movements, that mass of flame actually formed, and then separated from his hands, merging into the place where the furnace was burning.
Boom …
The pill fire instantly rose up, and the purplish-red flames began to burn. Bai Yu Zhe's hand seals continued to change nonstop, controlling the Pill Fire to burn according to his needs.
Afterwards, he used a special method to isolate the various beast essences in the furnace. With his current cultivation, it was obviously impossible for him to concoct a Vicious Beast Pill and stew all of its essence in one go!
The reason why Zhang Xuan placed all of the ingredients into the cauldron beforehand was so that it wouldn't drain away from him. The first step he refined was the Earth Spirit Bear's heart. This was the main ingredient of the pill, and also the core.
That enormous heart was suspended within the pill furnace. Through the transparent metal in the middle of the pill furnace, one could see that the heart was currently like a ball of blood that was rolling and constantly condensing. The impurities within it were continuously being expelled through the vent …
This process alone lasted for over half an hour. In the end, the heart was only the size of a baby's fist. Under Bai Yu Zhe's control, it instantly shattered into more than twenty pieces, slightly smaller than the little finger.
Soon after, a pool of blood rose from the pill furnace, soaking the fragments within. This blood came from the Wind Monkey. The most precious part of the Wind Monkey was its bloodline.
The process of concocting the pills continued. Bai Yu Zhe's mental energy was highly concentrated, and he didn't dare to neglect it in the slightest. This batch of pills was at least equivalent to normal Tier 4 pills, and it would take even longer.
With Bai Yu Zhe's current cultivation, it was quite difficult. The most important thing was that he currently did not have any mystical fire or divine fire as his own. Mysterious fire, or even divine fire, was the dream of every alchemist. It was extremely useful in refining pills.
The reason why he was able to become a Grade Nine Alchemist in his previous life was because he had obtained a divine flame. Otherwise, it would have been impossible!
However, not to mention Divine Flames, even Profound Flames were hard to find. The formation of this kind of flame required a special geographical location, and one had to use its essence for tens of millions of years before a single Profound Flame could be born. As for the divine flame, the harsh conditions were a hundred times more difficult!
From noon until the evening, the concocting process continued. Beads of sweat had already appeared on Bai Yu Zhe's forehead. His entire face was pale. If not for his draconic power's recovery speed, he would have died a long time ago.
At this moment, it was already at the final stage. The twenty-odd blood-red medicinal pills were spinning, emitting an incomparably rich fragrance. Bai Yu Zhe's hands constantly formed various hand seals. Although he was already very tired, his hands were still very stable without the slightest tremble.
With the completion of his last seal.
"Bang …"
The lid of the furnace opened by itself and the pills inside turned into a bloody thread that shot out. It fell into the jade bottle that Bai Yu Zhe had prepared long ago. He estimated that there should be around 25 of them.
"Boss, come take a look. What's this?" Just as Bai Yu Zhe put away the pill, he heard the sound of a mouse not too far away. He was responsible for keeping watch outside and seemed to have discovered something. Seeing that Bai Yu Zhe had finally succeeded, he immediately shouted.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu Zhe hurriedly walked over. In the Desolate Mountain Ranges, finding precious medicinal herbs wasn't anything strange. Moreover, this was still the territory of the Earthmoan Bear, and there was a chance that it was protecting something.
The area where the Gnomes were located was where the Earthmoan Bear had just appeared. There was a huge rock with no plants around it, and the gophers were right behind it.
Bai Yu Zhe quickly walked over and felt that there was a faint glow behind the rock. However, it was very secretive and one could not see it if they did not pay attention! As he approached, he saw that there was a small grass that was only 10 centimeters tall. The grass was a pale yellow, but it did not look withered at all. It had a lustrous luster!
It only had five leaves, and each leaf was shaped like a heart, but they were all different.
"Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass!" Bai Yu Zhe was slightly surprised, but soon after, his face revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
"Boss, what is the Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass?" The Earth Rat asked from the side. Everyone else looked at Bai Yu Zhe curiously, waiting for his answer. They didn't find it strange that Bai Yu Zhe would recognize this thing. In any case, ever since they were injured, their boss had said that it was a dream of a god.
"The Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass is an extremely precious herb that can be ranked in the ranks of rare treasures. Its purpose was to condense the power of the heart's bloodline. The blood of the heart was what ordinary people would call the blood of the heart! This blood is especially important to us martial artists. There were many benefits to working hard for! In addition, it also contained an enormous amount of heaven and earth origin energy. It could also directly increase one's cultivation. Even when one reaches the Stellar Accumulation Realm, having this stalk of Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass is enough! " Bai Yu Zhe roughly explained the uses of the Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass.
He was in a very good mood at the moment. With this Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass, then he would not be far from breaking through to the second stage of the《 Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens Secret Art》. In addition to the vicious beasts' spirit pills, as long as his luck was not too bad, he could find some valuable items or encounter some slightly stronger vicious beasts.
After thinking for a while, Bai Yu Zhe took out a few Source Stones and laid a simple formation around the Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass. It covered up all of its aura and even if other humans or Fierce Beasts passed by, they would not be able to discover it.
It was clear that he did not want to pick the Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass now, because he was not ready. A stalk of Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass combined with the vicious beast spirit pill that he had just refined might be enough for him to break through to the second stage of the Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens Art.
If he harvested this Five Heart Heavenly Yellow Grass now, some of the spirit energy would be lost. Moreover, the grass still wasn't fully grown, or else it would have probably been eaten by the Earthmoan Bear.
If it was allowed to grow freely, it would probably take another year or so.
As for the array formation that Bai Yuzhe had just set up, not only did it isolate and hide one's presence, but with the help of the array formation and primeval stones, it was able to quickly grow the Five Heart Heaven Yellow Grass. Bai Yuzhe estimated that it would only take a month before it fully matured.
Regardless of whether one was an apothecary or a blacksmith, one had to be proficient in formations. This was because formations were often used in pill forging and forging as well! Without the integration of formations, it would be difficult to fuse the essence of so many medicinal ingredients into one pill.
After all of this was done, Bai Yu Zhe gathered everyone together and then took out the newly refined Initial Stage Spiritual Pill.
