"Try it? Do you know how dangerous it is to refine a ninth-grade pill? Is your cultivation sufficient?"
Ling Feng truly understood the gravity of the situation and couldn't help but scold Lin Shuainan.
This matter was originally meant to be a surprise.
But the thought of it sent shivers down his spine!
If Lin Shuainan had an accident due to his reckless pill refining and lost control, how would he explain it to Xiuxiu?
Therefore, the more Ling Feng thought about it, the more his expression soured.
Seeing Ling Feng's serious demeanor, Lin Shuainan couldn't help but tremble all over!
He then forced a smile.
"Heh, Big Brother, I didn't think that much at the time, and my cultivation is indeed a bit strained. However, I've developed a new pill refining method, so even for a tenth-grade pill, as long as the conditions of the alchemy furnace are met, I won't be in any danger."
By the end of his sentence, Lin Shuainan had become very serious.
He even pulled Ling Feng into his alchemy room.
Ling Feng immediately noticed some unusual changes within the alchemy room.
"Big Brother, look, how is my formation arrangement?"
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Lin Shuainan's proud and smug expression, and then carefully observed his surroundings!
Soon, Ling Feng saw the profoundness of the formation arrangements.
"You're actually using formations to assist in pill refining? This formation..."
Before Ling Feng could finish, Lin Shuainan jumped up.
"That's right, Big Brother, isn't this method amazing? This is a semi-automated pill refining method. This formation is also self-created. After so many pill refining attempts, I've already summarized my own experience. I've found that besides the alchemy furnace, true fire, and one's own cultivation and refining techniques, there are also some other secrets to pill refining!"
When it came to these things, Lin Shuainan became extremely excited.
He quickly paced around, pointing at the formations on the ground.
The formations also rapidly flashed with rings of spiritual light, and then Lin Shuainan continued to explain.
"Big Brother, look, my alchemy formation is arranged according to the five elements and the time of day. The secret to pill refining is the combination of the five elements, directions, and time. If you can calculate it precisely, then as long as this formation is set up in advance, your pill refining success rate will definitely increase. At that point, even a dog standing here could easily refine a pill!"
Ling Feng looked at Lin Shuainan's animated gestures and his eyes widened.
"You brat, you're truly a genius!"
Ling Feng subconsciously cursed.
He really didn't know what adjective to use to describe Lin Shuainan.
Ling Feng could also comprehend these things, and even had some inklings before.
But Ling Feng had never thought of using formations to assist in pill refining.
Because for Ling Feng, researching these things would inevitably consume a lot of time.
And then there was the practice.
By the time the formation was set up, he might have already refined the required pills.
Moreover, there were many chances of failure involved.
If he failed too many times, it would definitely affect a person's confidence, and perhaps ten days or eight days would pass in an instant.
To put it bluntly, if all attempts failed, it might cause a drastic change in one's state of mind for pill refining.
Ling Feng would not do such a thing.
But this kid Lin Shuainan, his mind was truly different, and he was indeed exceptionally talented, actually managing to figure out these extremely complicated things.
"Big Brother, Big Brother... how is my creation?"
Lin Shuainan had been speaking too excitedly and hadn't heard Ling Feng's praise.
Few people could achieve such praise from Ling Feng!
No, it should be said that currently, only Lin Shuainan had received this honor!
"Not bad, this formation is very stable and has indeed reduced the pressure on the alchemy furnace. However, this formation... how did you research it?"
Ling Feng walked around, observing everything carefully, increasingly feeling that what he saw before him was a miracle.
Perhaps many alchemists could think of this, but very few could actually create it.
Because an alchemist couldn't simultaneously be a very powerful formation master!
Lin Shuainan said proudly, "Heh heh, this matter is much simpler. Actually, I discovered that pill refining and formations are interconnected. Even those spell techniques are based on one's own communication with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, combined with some methods. It's like performing surgery on oneself; you just need to remember all the steps and execute them!"
Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile. Lin Shuainan made it sound simple, but in practice, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
It was only Lin Shuainan's focus that allowed him to achieve this level.
"This formation consumes spirit stones, right?"
Ling Feng looked around and noticed the spirit stones at the formation's core!
Lin Shuainan nodded, "That's right, it's spirit stones. This thing consumes spirit stones quite heavily. However, I've found a way to replenish the spirit stones with spiritual energy. Big Brother, look, there are some small spirit gathering formations around these spirit stones. When I broke through my cultivation earlier, a lot of the spiritual energy from heaven and earth was attracted here. Now these spirit stones have been replenished with spiritual energy and are in a saturated state."
As he spoke, Lin Shuainan picked one up.
*Crack!*
The next moment, the spirit stone actually shattered, and some violent spiritual energy spread outwards.
Lin Shuainan was impacted, feeling his blood and qi surge, and then awkwardly scratched the back of his head, saying with a wry smile.
"Big Brother, this is still in the experimental stage, and there are some issues with the materials. It's like charging a battery; this spirit stone is a battery, but its lifespan is currently too short!"
Ling Feng shook his head, "These are all mid-grade spirit stones, and a few are high-grade spirit stones, so it's naturally not enough. Perhaps there are ways to reinforce the material of these spirit stones and make them more durable!"
As Ling Feng spoke, he began placing some alternative materials around, complementing the formation. Soon, the spiritual energy within the spirit stones flowed towards some surrounding materials.
Indeed, formation spiritual script appeared around the spirit stones, looking quite sturdy!
Lin Shuainan's eyes widened, "Big Brother, you're so amazing! You've upgraded my battery so quickly!"
Battery?
Although the analogy was vivid and lively,
Ling Feng felt something was not quite right when he heard it.
"Shuainan, even if you've solved the pill refining method, this ninth-grade pill is still very damaging to oneself. You can't be reckless next time!"
Lin Shuainan obediently nodded this time, "Okay, Big Brother, I understand. I was just not thinking clearly before and thought this was reliable, so I just went ahead with it!"
Ling Feng shook his head and then saw a mountain of ashes piled up nearby.
"What are these things?"
Lin Shuainan directly grabbed a handful, "Oh, these are all my failed attempts at refining ninth-grade pills, just dregs, waste. But there should still be some usable materials in them."
Ling Feng's brows furrowed, "You mean these are all failures? Then your alchemy materials..."
This was the first time Ling Feng had seen Lin Shuainan fail so many times for a single pill!
