There was a big difference between the flame requirement for a Martial Vein Body Mold Pill and a Top Grade True Essence Pill.
The former required intense fire refining and a sudden extinguishing of the fire.
The flame intensity for refining a Martial Vein Body Mold Pill was jagged sinusoidal in nature, having ups and downs in sharp points and not a smooth curve.
The Top Grade True Essence Pill’s flame’s intensity required smooth curves. Regardless of whether the flame went up or down, it would be relatively stable.
It was truly not that easy to grasp two completely different methods, but this was really not a problem for Ling Xiao.
In the Enter Soul State, the flame was like an extension of his arm, no matter the size or temperature.
As for all other aspects besides the flame control aspect, they were very simple.
Now, Ling Xiao just needed to wait.
After about 15 minutes, he opened the lid of the pill furnace.
It would take at least an hour for someone else, so he had a true advantage.
But when all was said and done, this was still his first time refining Martial Vein Body Mold Pills; therefore, he was still a bit tense inwardly, revealed by the sweat on his forehead.
The moment the pill furnace was opened, ten golden lights shot towards the sky, and ten Martial Vein Body Mold Pills emitting a golden light appeared in front of him.
When every pill took shape, strange lines would appear above it.
Those lines were the best way to judge a pill.
This couldn’t be faked. Even outstanding alchemists couldn’t understand those lines, so they were regarded as a kind of juncture between heaven and earth.
Since this was the first time he had refined Martial Vein Body Mold Pills, although his success rate was still 100%, the perfection level was slightly worse than that of Top Grade True Essence Pills.
Among them, five were 100% perfect-leveled, four were 90% perfect-leveled, and the remaining one was 80% perfect-leveled.
If someone else were in his place, he or she would have already jumped and cheered.
However, Ling Xiao was not satisfied.
He sat there, carefully recalling the entire process, hoping to find his mistakes so that he could correct those problems when he refined them next time.
As a result, he discovered a crucial problem, his nervousness. When he had opened the furnace, his hand had trembled, which had caused the pill furnace to open a bit later.
That was just a small problem, but it had caused flaws in the originally 100% perfect-level pills.
Since he couldn’t refine perfect unqualified pills, could he still dare to think about high-grade pills?
Ling Xiao continuously reflected, beating himself. His requirements for himself were terrifyingly strict.
He knew very well that he was different from others. He was a person with the Landscape Martial Soul. He should do everything better than others.
If he were inferior to others in any aspect, it was a waste of the Landscape Martial Soul.
Thirty 100% perfect-leveled Top Grade True Essence Pills could be sold at a thousand low-grade spirit stones per pill! However, an ordinary Top Grade True Essence Pill could only be sold for a hundred low-grade spirit pills.
With better skills, one would earn more. This was the truth all alchemists understood very well.
The five 100% perfect-level Martial Vein Body Mold Pills could be sold for a thousand low-grade spirit stones each, the four 90% perfect-leveled for nine hundred low-grade spirit stones, and one 80% perfect-leveled for eight hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Calculating this way, he had truly made a big profit this time.
His cost was three hundred low-grade spirit stones and some silver that could be exchanged for less than a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
After refining these pills, they were worth close to 40,000 low-grade spirit stones!
It was too amazing. This amount was enough to purchase four low-gold-grade Transcendent Martial Arts in the market.
This was alchemy. As long as one’s skill were good enough, it was impossible to lack spirit stones.
After refining the two types of pills, he dismissed the clones.
<Eternal Divine Pill Scripture> had already integrated into his soul; moreover, he had already comprehended the simpler parts.
However, this book was too profound, and a lot of its contents were obscure. It was truly impossible for him to understand everything in a short time.
However, this kind of thing shouldn’t be rushed. He had to slowly understand and comprehend it.
Alchemy was a lifelong task.
In addition, he had also memorized all the books on basic magic arrays and formations. Since they were basic, it was relatively easy to understand them. He neither needed to read it a second time nor ask others questions.
When reading these books about magic arrays and formations, Ling Xiao had realized something.
He discovered that his understanding of <Bronze Sweep Sword Controlling Technique> had improved.
Although he had had no time to cultivate it, it had actually reached the ninth layer, the perfection realm.
The reason was simple.
The last three layers of <Bronze Sweep Sword Controlling Technique> were related to formations. He was unable to comprehend it before purely because he had known nothing about magic arrays and formations.
Now that he had read the books given to him by Venerable Yuan, it all became clear.
After <Bronze Sweep Sword Controlling Technique> reached the perfection realm, he automatically comprehended a sword formation, ‘Big Dipper Sword Formation.’
It required thirty-six flying swords, but his Breeze Sword had already been unusable. Now, he had one more goal: to get at least thirty-six rare-grade treasured-artifact flying swords.
If possible, he would forge them by himself.
However, he had not reached that level. The blacksmiths of the Landscape World could forge excellent-grade treasured-artifact martial items at most. They truly couldn’t forge higher-leveled martial items.
Therefore, his plan was to forge thirty-six excellent-grade treasured-artifact flying swords initially, and later, after he got the remaining rare-grade treasure artifacts, use smelting stones to smelt them into swords.
In any case, smelting stones could be purchased in the market. Priced at a slightly expensive 1,000 low-grade spirit stones per piece, they weren’t a big problem since he was an alchemist.
After making this plan, he made his Martial Soul Clone help him forge some flying swords. He estimated that it might take a period of time.
Ling Xiao looked to the sky. It was still early, so he calmed down his heart, took out ‘Sealed God Catalog,’ and began to comprehend it.
He had always felt that this Sealed God Catalog was very powerful since it was all-inclusive. It included alchemy, weapon refining, formations, refining arrays, martial arts, divine techniques, and so on.
Although he could only comprehend some low-level profound meanings because of his low cultivation base, even like that, he got a lot of benefits trying to comprehend it daily.
Some things might be useless today, but that didn’t necessarily mean that they would be useless in the future.
In the Sealed God Catalog, there were many profound meanings. In times immemorial, martial artists had escaped heaven’s shackles and been almost omnipotent.
Ling Xiao couldn’t comprehend those techniques, but when comprehending the profound meaning of those movement techniques, his Cloud Dragon Divine Walk, which had stagnated for a period of time, finally stepped into the ‘sublimity realm’.
Regardless of the speed and time he could float in the air, there was a substantial improvement.
In addition, the profound meanings of the sword controlling techniques were even more diverse in the Sealed God Catalog.
