Chapter 72

With a strange look in his eyes, Bai Jianjia glanced at Zhao Shuo. That clear gaze made Zhao Shuo feel a bit uneasy, and he cleared his throat and said, "Oh, Jianjia, it turns out you're here. I thought you had gone somewhere else."

Having long understood Zhao Shuo's shamelessness, Bai Jianjia replied indifferently, "I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk and took a bath."

Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "Is that so? I wonder if I disturbed you. How about I go back, and you continue?"

Rolling her eyes, Bai Jianjia said, "No need for that. I'm already done. But didn't you go into seclusion to refine the furnace? How did you come out so quickly?"

Hearing Bai Jianjia's words, Zhao Shuo's face lit up with excitement. A flash of green light appeared in his hand, and the furnace he had just refined was held up. With a hint of pride, Zhao Shuo said, "What do you think of this furnace?"

When Bai Jianjia saw the furnace in Zhao Shuo's hand, a look of surprise involuntarily appeared in her eyes. She had thought it would take Zhao Shuo at least half a month to refine the furnace. After all, it was his first attempt at refining, and he would likely fail several times before succeeding. However, Zhao Shuo had managed to refine the furnace in just two days, which was beyond her expectations.

"An advanced magical artifact, I didn't expect you to have such talent in refining!"

Zhao Shuo chuckled and said, "Isn't it just refining? Now I realize it's not that difficult."

Bai Jianjia smiled faintly. What Zhao Shuo said was relatively speaking. If refining were truly that easy, magical artifacts would be rampant in the world, and there wouldn't be so many cultivators fighting to the death over a single artifact.

Magical artifacts and spirit artifacts are the easiest to refine. As for innate spirit treasures, they have already reached the level of spirit treasures, and unless one's cultivation is extremely profound, it's almost impossible to refine them successfully without great fortune.

Of course, Zhao Shuo wasn't unaware of these facts. However, succeeding on his first attempt naturally gave him a lot of confidence. If he had failed several times, he probably wouldn't have said that.

After Bai Jianjia left, Zhao Shuo took a bath in the lake before returning to rest.

When it was bright the next morning, Zhao Shuo came out of his room and saw Bai Jianjia, dressed in white, sitting cross-legged facing the sunrise, quietly cultivating.

Seeming to notice Zhao Shuo, Bai Jianjia opened her eyes, glanced at him, and then continued her cultivation.

Zhao Shuo didn't disturb Bai Jianjia's cultivation. Influenced by her, he soon found a place to start refining the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill.

First, he had to master the pill formula for the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill. This formula was the method for refining the pill, and any mistake would result in a failed batch of what could have been a successful spirit pill.

For several days, Zhao Shuo practiced controlling the pill formula for the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill. He knew that the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill was a high-level spirit pill, and its formula was bound to be very complex. However, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to practice.

After a full month, Zhao Shuo's hands moved the spirit seals with such speed that, to an ordinary person, it would look like he had a thousand hands.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo's face showed joy, and he smiled, turning to Bai Jianjia and saying, "Jianjia, see? I finally succeeded. I have completely mastered the pill formula for the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill."

Bai Jianjia was also happy for Zhao Shuo. In the Qingye Secret Record, the pill formula for the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill was considered extremely complex and advanced. Even a cultivator well-versed in refining would need several months to master it. However, Zhao Shuo, after practicing day and night, managed to master it in just one month. While he might not be proficient, it was still beyond what most people would expect.

Seeing Zhao Shuo's eager expression, Bai Jianjia said, "Now that you've learned the pill formula for the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill, refining some lower-quality spirit pills shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Zhao Shuo smiled lightly and said, "Of course. Since I've mastered the complex and advanced formula for the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill, refining lower-quality spirit pills should be easy after just a couple of practices."

Looking at Bai Jianjia with a puzzled expression, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you need me to refine some spirit pills?"

Bai Jianjia smiled and shook her head. "Not really. However, I want to say that you're not very familiar with the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill's formula yet. Even the most advanced formulas are made up of countless basic techniques. You might as well refine some lower-level spirit pills to gain more experience."

Zhao Shuo thought for a moment and said, "You have a point, but what kind of spirit pill should I refine?"

Bai Jianjia said, "If possible, you should refine some Yuan Strengthening Pills. We might leave the Jiuhua Secret Realm and return to Death Island at any time. If we have some Yuan Strengthening Pills, we can replenish our mana at any time."

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up. "Yes, you're right. Although we have many spirit veins and don't have to worry about absorbing elemental energy, we can't just go cultivate when we're in a fight. If we have Yuan Strengthening Pills to restore our mana, we won't have to worry so much."

Seeing that Zhao Shuo seemed to accept her suggestion, Bai Jianjia chuckled and waved her hand. Instantly, a small mountain of herbs appeared in front of Zhao Shuo, the various ingredients needed to refine the Yuan Strengthening Pills.

Zhao Shuo was momentarily stunned by the mountain of herbs. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but stare at Bai Jianjia and say, "Did you plan this all along? Why so many herbs?"

Bai Jianjia laughed and said, "In the past month, I've gathered all the herbs within a few hundred miles. If it weren't for the presence of powerful beasts in many areas, I could have found even more."

Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly. "This is enough. If I can use up all these herbs, I'm sure I'll be able to skillfully use various spirit seals."

Looking at the mountain of herbs, which was enough for dozens of refining sessions, others might complain about not having enough herbs, but Zhao Shuo was now complaining about having too many.

However, Zhao Shuo knew that Bai Jianjia was doing this for his own good. Refining pills is a form of cultivation. Focusing while using spirit seals is also a form of cultivation for the spirit soul. In the past month, his intense practice of the Seven-Colored Crystal Pill's formula had boosted his cultivation from the early stage of the Spirit Consolidation period to the middle stage, a speed that even Bai Jianjia found incredible.

The pill formula for the Yuan Strengthening Pill wasn't too difficult. Zhao Shuo spent an hour mastering it, and the proficiency would increase gradually during the refining process.

The main ingredients for the Yuan Strengthening Pill were Heavenly Spirit Grass, Earth Essence Fruit, and several other auxiliary herbs.

Summoning the pill furnace, Zhao Shuo cast a spirit seal with his hand. The furnace rose into the air, its mouth facing down, and a suction force emerged from within. One by one, the Heavenly Spirit Grass and Earth Essence Fruit, along with other herbs, flew into the furnace.
