Chapter 32: First Pill
It was a parting gift from the Sage of Slaughter to his 'disciple.' Without it, the storm of information was enough to run a Nascent Soul realm cultivator mad. Not to talk of a puny Foundation Establishment realm cultivator.
Even with that stream of energy, it was still dangerous. That was why most of the information was sealed in his sea of consciousness, waiting for him to access it when he was strong enough.
However, they weren't entirely useless for him currently. The strain they place on his sea of consciousness slowly tempers it, making it stronger over time.
His current spirit power could probably rival someone at the initial stage of the Golden Core formation realm. However, his method of alchemy consumed twice as much spirit energy as normal.
Even with all these advantages, he wasn't able to complete the pill refinement.
This should be enough to highlight the difficulty of the ancient alchemy method. Of course, this was also because he was a novice.
After resting for another three hours, he began another attempt. This time, he was able to reduce the amount of spirit energy he used in the refinement process.
After the medicinal essence of all the herbs had been extracted, the vortex started to congeal the extracted medicinal essence.
Adrian was excited and tried to fuse them together. This was the most important part of the pill refinement. He increased the output of his spirit energy and forced the pill creation.
