Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

When descending the mountain, the morning light was still faint, but after ascending the mountain, it was already dusk.

During this time, because Ji Boying had a brief exchange with Li Yueyao in the elegant room of the commercial firm, it delayed a lot of time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to the mountain until evening.

This time when descending the mountain, Ji Boying exchanged a lot of core resources, including the Supreme Harmonious Echo Pill and medicinal herbs, and also purchased fifty of them.

In addition, he also exchanged for a true treasure-level pill furnace.

If it weren't for the windfall he made over at Qiandao Lake, Ji Boying would at most just take a look at these things and wouldn't be able to obtain them at all.

After all...

Since the mission at Qiandao Lake, he hasn't made many talismans. Even if he did, he mostly integrated his own life talismans or used them directly.

So, he didn't accumulate many spirit stones.

At night...

After having a simple dinner with his two wives, Ji Boying didn't continue to bother them and instead entered the pill room alone to study the pill scriptures and alchemy techniques.

Until...

Half a month later.

After Ji Boying posted the soundproof and isolation prohibition talismans in the pill room...

He skillfully summoned a strand of true fire and preheated the pill furnace.

Then, he used this spare time to sort the medicinal herbs according to the order of their placement.

Afterwards, he began to meditate and adjust his breath.

Until...

The pill furnace was completely heated.

Ji Boying then summoned the Innate Fire Spirit he had contracted.

This was a treasure for pill refining and artifact forging!

With the assistance of the Fire Spirit, the efficiency of pill refining, as well as the success rate and quality of the pills, would greatly increase!

Moreover, once the Fire Spirit and oneself reached a certain level of compatibility, they could even refine pills of a higher level!

"The time has come for you to show your worth."

"If your performance satisfies me, I don't mind spending a huge amount of resources to cultivate you."

"But if your performance doesn't satisfy me, we will settle all accounts, old and new, together."

"Do you understand?"

Ji Boying looked at the Fire Spirit jumping in the palm of his hand and spoke with the gentlest tone while saying the most malicious words.

After sensing the faint killing intent, the Fire Spirit trembled slightly, then willingly jumped into the pill furnace and merged with Ji Boying's true fire.

Seeing this, Ji Boying just chuckled and took out the prepared medicinal herbs and threw them in.

The Fire Spirit was already a spiritual creature.

Although the Fire Spirit contracted by Ji Boying wasn't very intelligent, it had the intelligence of a child.

With a little training, it could completely act according to Ji Boying's will.

In addition...

As long as Ji Boying could understand and comprehend the pill formula, the Fire Spirit could autonomously refine the medicinal herbs according to Ji Boying's thoughts.

Of course...

The efficiency, quality, and accuracy of refining the medicinal herbs still needed to be personally controlled by the alchemist.

It was like driving a smart car. You could use it, but you couldn't relax at all.

When you were watching it, there might be no problem.

But once you didn't pay attention, it could lead to the disastrous outcome of a car crash.

A four-star pill, even the simplest one, was composed of at least dozens of medicinal herbs.

If it was slightly more complex, there might be hundreds of medicinal herbs.

The properties of these medicinal herbs complemented and conflicted with each other, and the process of integrating and handling the medicinal liquid was extremely complicated.

Just like a woman.

Clearly saying no with her mouth, but her body was very obedient.

Some even said no everywhere, not just with their bodies.

If it weren't for seeing her wide open door and hot tea welcoming me, I might have been deceived by appearances.

Like this...

As time passed bit by bit.

Ji Boying put in more and more medicinal herbs. Under his own and the spiritual fire's dual refining, the purity and refining degree of various medicinal liquids reached the level of high-quality or even top-quality.

However...

This was only the foundation.

The truly complex part is the Integrated Union potion that comes later.

And so it went...

After about seven or eight hours.

Ji Boying finally finished refining all these medicinal materials.

Within the entire pill furnace, a mixture of hundreds of medicinal liquids had also gathered.

However...

Just as Ji Boying was integrating and blending these medicinal liquids, before they could fully merge together, the pill furnace began to violently shake.

A restless surge of spiritual power fluctuations emanated from it.

Despite Ji Boying and the Fire Spirit's efforts to suppress it.

But...

This delicate balance could never be fully grasped and controlled.

In the end...

With a loud bang.

The medicinal liquid in the pill furnace exploded like liquid explosives, instantly unleashing a terrifying shockwave!

The power was so great that if it weren't for the isolation prohibition talisman prepared by Ji Boying in advance, the entire bamboo building would have been reduced to rubble.

Fortunately, Ji Boying had also prepared a silencing talisman in advance.

The loud noise did not spread, and it did not reach the ears of his two wives and Su Ling.

Looking at the charred pill furnace, Ji Boying couldn't help but sigh.

He had gone from a two-star alchemist to a four-star alchemist in one fell swoop, without any transition in between.

Although he had spent the previous half month studying the four-star alchemy classics and some alchemy techniques, it was all based on theory and had not been put into practice.

So...

This result was somewhat expected, and he couldn't say he was too disappointed or regretful.

And so it went...

After the first failed furnace.

Ji Boying immediately started the second furnace, the third furnace...

Until...

The tenth furnace!

After continuous exploration and adjustments, he finally succeeded in refining!

Nine pills in one furnace.

One low-grade, two medium-grade, and the remaining six were all high-grade.

Although there were no top-grade pills, this was already the best result.

Ji Boying took out a high-grade Supreme Harmonizing Pill and looked at the milky white halo emanating from it, murmuring softly:

"Although high-grade pills contain pill toxins, as long as they are not excessively consumed, cultivators can slowly refine those toxins themselves."

"However..."

"Even if these pill toxins are weak, they are still the pill toxins of a four-star pill. Ning'er and Qing'er are only in the Foundation Building stage. If they rashly consume them, there may be adverse effects."

"Better to leave it to Li Yueyao!"

"She is at least a Gold Core cultivator and half a sword cultivator. Even if there are any effects, it probably won't pose much danger to her."

"As for the medium-grade and low-grade pills... sell them if you can."

"After all, almost all the buyers of these things are demonic cultivators."

With this in mind, Ji Boying simply categorized the pills and put them in bottles.

Then he left the pill room and planned to have a daily conversation with his wives before starting the second round of refining!

And so it went...

Another half month passed.

After Ji Boying continuously made adjustments and improvements, as well as constant coordination with the Fire Spirit.

Finally...

The first furnace of Supreme Harmonizing Pills with top-grade quality was born!

One medium-grade, five high-grade, and...

Three top-grade!

Looking at the rich milky white halo.

Ji Boying felt pleasantly surprised.

Without any hesitation, after simply bottling the pills, he took out one top-grade Supreme Harmonizing Pill and walked towards the main hall where Xiao Ning'er was making talismans...
