Taking out the alchemical furnace, Zhao Shuo cast a spiritual seal with his hand, and immediately the furnace rose into the air. The mouth of the furnace faced downward, and a suction force emanated from within, drawing in various heavenly spirit herbs and earth essence fruits along with other spiritual medicines.

After the furnace had gathered enough spiritual medicines to refine a batch of spirit pills, Zhao Shuo cast another spiritual seal. As the alchemical fire entered the furnace, Zhao Shuo began to cast a series of spiritual seals into the furnace, and the surrounding elemental energies seemed to be drawn continuously into the furnace.

Sitting cross-legged, Zhao Shuo occasionally cast spiritual seals, carefully controlling the furnace.

Refining pills is an extremely mentally taxing task, and using it to train the primordial spirit is something many cultivators would never have thought of.

Each batch of Zhaoyuan Pills, if successful, can produce thirty-six spirit pills. Each pill can instantly replenish ten years of cultivation, far faster than absorbing elemental energies. It is a spirit pill commonly kept by Law Body and Divine Ability cultivators.

Due to the abundance of elemental energies, the Zhaoyuan Pills, which normally take three days to refine, only took one day in the Jiuhua Secret Realm.

Looking at the furnace before him, which was emitting a faint green light, Zhao Shuo felt a slight excitement. This was his first batch of spirit pills, and he didn't know if it would be successful.

As the opening of the furnace approached, Bai Jianjia, who had been cultivating nearby, stopped and stood beside him, her bright eyes focused on the furnace.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo cast a spiritual seal, which entered the furnace. The furnace began to spin rapidly, forcibly drawing in the surrounding elemental energies.

Seeing this, neither Bai Jianjia nor Zhao Shuo were surprised. They knew this was the final and most crucial step in condensing the spirit pills.

Zhao Shuo carefully controlled the speed at which the furnace absorbed the elemental energies, neither too fast nor too slow, as any mistake would turn the entire batch of spirit pills into waste.

Suddenly, Zhao Shuo frowned as a black mist shot out of the furnace. Seeing this, he sighed; this batch of spirit pills had completely failed.

Seeing Zhao Shuo's failure, Bai Jianjia's face showed a hint of regret. However, she walked over and said, "Zhao Shuo, it's okay. For your first attempt to be this good is already very impressive. With more practice, you might succeed."

Knowing that Bai Jianjia was trying to comfort him, Zhao Shuo chuckled and said, "I'm fine, but it's a pity about this batch of pills. If it had been successful, it would have been thirty-six Zhaoyuan Pills, which many Law Body and Divine Ability cultivators only have a few of."

Bai Jianjia smiled and said, "You focus on refining the pills, and you'll have as many as you want. I might even need some from you."

Zhao Shuo grinned and said, "Sure, I'll take care of your spirit pills, even for a lifetime if needed."

Seeing Zhao Shuo taking advantage of her, Bai Jianjia blushed and huffed, "Hmph, you just keep refining your pills here. I'm going to cultivate."

Watching Bai Jianjia leave hurriedly, Zhao Shuo reluctantly tore his gaze away from her shapely buttocks and looked at the furnace, starting to refine pills again.

For some reason, several batches of pills failed at the last moment, which was a significant blow to Zhao Shuo's confidence.

Bai Jianjia was very worried, fearing that Zhao Shuo couldn't handle such a blow. However, it was clear that she was overthinking it. Zhao Shuo was not someone who couldn't withstand setbacks; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a graduate student in astronomy from an orphan, which required immense perseverance.

After several failures, Zhao Shuo didn't rush to refine more pills. Instead, he accompanied Bai Jianjia for a walk around the area, waiting until his mind was completely calm before starting again.

A day passed, and Zhao Shuo watched calmly as the furnace absorbed the surrounding elemental energies, while Bai Jianjia stood nearby, looking even more nervous than Zhao Shuo.

Finally, a faint medicinal fragrance began to emanate from the furnace, and the rapidly spinning furnace slowly landed on the ground.

Seeing this, a smile slowly spread across Zhao Shuo's lips, and Bai Jianjia excitedly said, "Success! Zhao Shuo, you've finally refined the spirit pills!"

With a wave of his hand, thirty-six dragon-eye-sized, crystal-clear Zhaoyuan Pills flew to Zhao Shuo's face. He gently pushed most of them into Bai Jianjia's hands, took one himself, and immediately a pure and gentle elemental energy flowed into his dantian, replenishing the consumed energy and significantly boosting his cultivation.

Feeling the effects of the Zhaoyuan Pills, which were as described in the formula, Zhao Shuo sighed in relief, finally having successfully refined the Zhaoyuan Pills.

In the following days, Zhao Shuo appeared calm and collected, like a transcendent alchemist, focusing solely on refining pills with a clear mind and peaceful heart. As a result, the success rate of the Zhaoyuan Pills increased significantly.

When Zhao Shuo had exhausted a mountain of spiritual medicines, Bai Jianjia helped him tally the results. They had opened the furnace forty-three times, with twenty-eight successful batches of Zhaoyuan Pills, a success rate that rivaled even the alchemists supported by major sects.

Nearly a thousand Zhaoyuan Pills were laid out before them, a sight so impressive that even Zhao Shuo found it hard to believe. Looking at the dozens of bottles of Zhaoyuan Pills, he took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect to refine so many spirit pills."

Bai Jianjia said, "You're a freak. Not only are you good at refining pills, but your primordial spirit's refinement speed is also incredibly fast. How long has it been? You're already on the verge of breaking through to the advanced stage of the Solid Spirit period. How are those who have been stuck at the Solid Spirit period for decades or even centuries supposed to live?"

Zhao Shuo said smugly, "What can I do? I'm just naturally gifted. Being too excellent isn't always good."

Bai Jianjia rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, let's divide the Zhaoyuan Pills. Next, you'll start refining the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills. If you succeed, it won't be long before you reach the Law Body period. I really want to see what miracles you can create then."

Zhao Shuo grinned and waved his hand, taking out the various spiritual medicines needed to refine the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills, the most important of which was the Crystal Lotus Seed.

Although the Crystal Lotus Seeds could be obtained continuously in the treasure tower, Zhao Shuo didn't want to fail repeatedly, so he maintained the same detached and desireless state of mind he had when refining the Zhaoyuan Pills.

In that state of mind, Zhao Shuo could perfectly cast various control seals, which was the reason for his high success rate in refining the Zhaoyuan Pills.

The first batch of Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills failed, both unexpectedly and as expected. However, Zhao Shuo didn't take it to heart. After all, the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills were high-grade spirit pills, and if they were as easy to refine as the Zhaoyuan Pills, he would have doubted whether he was possessed by a master alchemist.

In the following days, Zhao Shuo continuously refined pills. After two failures, he finally succeeded in refining a batch of Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills on the third attempt.

When Zhao Shuo looked at the pills in his hand, which emitted a seven-colored glow like crystal, he understood why they were called Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills. The appearance of these spirit pills was so beautiful that no other name would fit.

The refreshing fragrance emanating from the spirit pills was so invigorating that just a whiff made one feel as if they were about to ascend to immortality.

Looking at the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills in his hand, Bai Jianjia exclaimed in surprise, "These are the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills? They are so beautiful!"

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but pout and said, "These are the miraculous Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills. If they were only beautiful, they wouldn't be so precious. Didn't you have your Law Body destroyed and your divine spirit injured? It would take who knows how long to restore your Law Body True Body on your own. Now, with just one Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pill, you can nourish your divine spirit and restore your Law Body True Body."

Although Bai Jianjia had heard Zhao Shuo describe the miraculous effects of the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pills before, she still found it hard to believe. However, seeing Zhao Shuo's confident demeanor and the complex and profound nature of the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pill formula, she realized that as a high-grade spirit pill, it might indeed be as miraculous as Zhao Shuo said.
