Chapter 85
Time slipped away unnoticed amid hurried pill refining.
Outside the Mystic Jade Cave, numerous spirit herbs grew lush and verdant, thriving vigorously.
The cave residence doors had remained closed for a long while, gathering a layer of dust that lent them an air of age and neglect.
Yet inside, protected by arrays, every corner remained spotlessly clean and bright as new.
In the pill-refining chamber, Fang Qing gazed at the three azure-blue great pills arrayed neatly before him. His expression showed neither joy nor sorrow; he merely let out a soft sigh. "Only three?"
During this period he had ceaselessly studied pill scriptures from both worlds, experimenting by incorporating various Ancient Shu-specific [Ji Water] Qi Ingestion-grade spiritual materials into the process of refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
Failures had been plentiful. In the end, of the eight Foundation Establishment Pills he attempted to refine evenly, only these three had succeeded!
"Through various appraisal methods, they should possess a portion of the effects of a Dao Foundation Pill, and they lean toward [Ji Water] and [Zhen Water]..."
"As for their actual efficacy, one can only know after consuming them. The one thing I can confirm is that even if they prove ineffective, they are at least harmless and carry the additional benefit of protecting the meridians of Qi Ingestion cultivators."
