143: Netherworld Alchemy Ceiling

After breaking through to the Tenth Grade Quasi-Immortal Pill Refiner realm, Long Aotian still didn't stop his in-depth study and research of the Dao of Alchemy.

His Alchemy Dao strength had improved, but the quality of the Medicinal Pills he refined had not yet improved.

Furthermore!

There are also many different refining techniques in the Dao of Alchemy.

Such as the Three-Part Alchemy Technique, Six-Part Alchemy Technique, Twelve-Part Alchemy Technique, Twenty-Four-Part Alchemy Technique, Forty-Eight-Part Alchemy Technique, and Ninety-Six-Part Alchemy Technique.

There are also the Eight-Part Alchemy Technique, Sixteen-Part Alchemy Technique, Thirty-Five-Part Alchemy Technique, Fifty-Six-Part Alchemy Technique, and Sixty-Four-Part Alchemy Technique.

Legend has it that the Dao of Alchemy has two pioneering ancestors.

One created the Three-Three Refining Method.

One created the Eight-Eight Refining Method.

The Grand Void Dragon Clan was fortunate enough to collect all the Alchemy Techniques from both refining methods of these two pioneering ancestors of the Dao of Alchemy.

Long Aotian also learned from Ao Zhan's memories that the Dao of Alchemy on the Sky Ruins Continent is now in decline, and Alchemy Techniques of Twenty-Four-Parts and above have been lost for millions of years.

Currently, the Alchemy Techniques used by Alchemists on the Sky Ruins Continent are mostly the Three-Part Alchemy Technique, Six-Part Alchemy Technique, Eight-Part Alchemy Technique, and Twelve-Part Alchemy Technique.

Among them, the Twelve-Part Alchemy Technique is also subtly on the verge of being lost. Most Alchemists on the Sky Ruins Continent use the Three-Part Alchemy Technique and Six-Part Alchemy Technique, and Alchemists who know the Eight-Part Alchemy Technique are extremely rare.

This undoubtedly greatly wasted a large number of Spirit Medicines, making the Cultivation resources of the Sky Ruins Continent even scarcer and the Immortal Martial Dao more decadent.

The so-called Three-Part Alchemy Technique means that when refining a furnace of Medicinal Pills, the number of successful Medicinal Pills reaches three.

The Ninety-Six-Part Alchemy Technique, on the other hand, means that when refining a furnace of Medicinal Pills, the number of successful Medicinal Pills reaches ninety-six, and the Medicinal Pill's efficacy can be the same as the Medicinal Pills refined with the Three-Part Alchemy Technique.

In other words, the same batch of Spirit Medicine, if refined using the Ninety-Six-Part Alchemy Technique, is equivalent to refining thirty-two furnaces using the Three-Part Alchemy Technique.

It's terrifying!

After Long Aotian's Alchemy Dao level broke through to the Tenth Grade Quasi-Immortal Pill Refiner realm, he began to continuously improve the quality of the successful Medicinal Pills.

In addition to having different grades, the refined Medicinal Pills also have different qualities.

That is, each grade of Medicinal Pill has Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Supreme Grade distinctions.

Long Aotian had just broken through to the Tenth Grade Quasi-Immortal Pill Refiner realm, and the Tenth Grade Medicinal Pills he refined were basically all Tenth Grade Low Grade.

However, as he continuously delved into learning, thinking, researching, summarizing, and experimenting, constantly progressing in a cycle, his Alchemy Dao level also rapidly improved.

From initially refining only Low Grade Medicinal Pills, to starting to produce Medium Grade Medicinal Pills, then High Grade Medicinal Pills, until all the refined Medicinal Pills became Supreme Grade Medicinal Pills, only then did Long Aotian stop.

In addition, he also had to go through various Alchemy Techniques, striving to reach what he felt was the best state.

All successful Medicinal Pills from the Three-Part Alchemy Technique were Supreme Grade.

All successful Medicinal Pills from the Six-Part Alchemy Technique were Supreme Grade.

Eight-Part, Twelve-Part, Sixteen-Part, Twenty-Four-Part... until all the successful Medicinal Pills refined with the Ninety-Six-Part Alchemy Technique reached Supreme Grade, only then did Long Aotian temporarily stop his continued research in the Dao of Alchemy.

At this time, his Alchemy Dao level had reached the true ceiling for Alchemists in the Lower Realm, becoming a true Quasi-Immortal Pill Refiner.

He could continue to research further and refine Immortal Pills, but refining Immortal Pills in the Lower Realm is different from refining Immortal Pills in the specific environment of the Immortal Realm. Refining Immortal Pills in the Lower Realm is an act against the rules and requires enduring an Immortal Pill Lightning Tribulation.

Who would want to refine a Medicinal Pill and get struck by lightning for no reason?

Long Aotian felt that if he wanted to delve deeper into the Dao of Alchemy, he should wait until he Ascends to the Immortal Realm.

Especially since, even if he wanted to refine Immortal Pills in the Lower Realm, he seemingly didn't have any Immortal Grade Spirit Medicine...
