“I apologize for the poor showing, Fourth Grandfather; I could only manage to refine six!” Ye Jingcheng carefully stored the pills in a bottle, quite satisfied, though he knew satisfaction was relative.

Compared to Ye Haiyun's alchemy skills, Ye Jingcheng was far behind.

“That’s already quite good!” Ye Haiyun rarely spoke much. Ye Jingcheng expected some commentary, but instead, Ye Haiyun took the pill furnace and, reopening the earth fire, began to refine pills using Ye Jingcheng’s furnace!

He also took out the spiritual herbs needed for the Ice Cleansing Pill, holding them all in front of him.

He completed the preheating of the furnace in one go, placing the spiritual herbs into the furnace one by one.

The earth fire was controlled just right, making the spiritual patterns on the furnace seem to dance in the flames.

The spiritual herbs inside were quickly melted down, a sight that left Ye Jingcheng somewhat stunned!

But it had to be said that Ye Haiyun’s method was far better than simply telling Ye Jingcheng where his problems lay!

Ye Jingcheng quickly took out a jade slip, watching and recording everything.

Buzz!

With a slight tremor from the pill furnace, the lid flew off, revealing ten Ice Cleansing Pills inside!

A rich medicinal fragrance once again filled the air!

To Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, two of them even had pill patterns!

Ye Haiyun gave the pill furnace and the pills to Ye Jingcheng together:

“Practice more when you return. Alchemy is tedious, and overcoming that tedium is a form of cultivation, as is cultivating immortality!” Ye Haiyun said, subtly hinting that it was time for Ye Jingcheng to leave.

Ye Jingcheng had been studying for nearly six days and needed time to digest what he had learned.

“Oh, right, if you have the chance, get a better pill furnace. As a Tier 1 Superior-Grade alchemist, using a damaged furnace greatly affects your pill refinement!” Ye Haiyun added as he was leaving.

Ye Jingcheng nodded in acknowledgment. Before leaving, he brewed a pot of spiritual tea and placed it on the stone table in the fire room.

Then, he bowed and withdrew from the earth fire room.

Outside, Ye Haitian was still sitting on the stool, studying the jade slip, the bell placed in front of him, as if ready to ring it at any moment to urge the clansmen in the earth fire room to come out.

“Ninth Grandfather!” Ye Jingcheng respectfully greeted.

At the same time, he took out the remaining spiritual tea and brewed another pot for Ye Haitian.

Ye Haitian looked at Ye Jingcheng, a smile on his face.

After chatting with Ye Haitian for a while, Ye Jingcheng bid farewell again. He needed to focus on switching cultivation methods, raising his Four-Phase Celestial Origin Sutra to the sixth level of Qi training.

Then, he could begin to refine the Crimson Flame Fox’s advancement pill, preparing for the latter’s bloodline advancement.

Back in his own courtyard, Ye Jingcheng took out the jade slip again, reviewing what he had learned in the past few days.

After reviewing it, he released several spirit beasts, feeding them spiritual food one by one and sending them to Baoguang.

The first was still the Crimson Flame Fox, which made the Goldscale Beast very anxious. In its golden eyes, there seemed to be a surge of energy, and it growled softly.

But it didn’t dare to really step forward, especially after being glared at by the Crimson Flame Fox, only daring to growl at the Jade Ring Rat a couple of times.

The Jade Ring Rat squeaked twice and leaned to the side.

The spiritual food was still distributed in the same way as before. The Crimson Flame Fox mainly needed to improve its fire-attribute spiritual power, so it received two Azure Spirit Pills and two Feeding Spirit Pills.

The Goldscale Beast needed to improve the strength of its gold scales, so it received one Body Tempering Pill and one Azure Spirit Pill, plus two Feeding Spirit Pills. Finally, the Jade Ring Rat only received two simple Feeding Spirit Pills.

Of course, Baoguang would not neglect the latter. The latter twitched its nose, quite satisfied. Compared to the days in the spirit beast pouch, gnawing on Feeding Spirit Pills in the corner, with Baoguang, was undoubtedly an exciting thing for a rat.

After the three spirit beasts had digested their food, Ye Jingcheng stopped cultivating and took out the materials for the Azure Spirit Pill, then took out the Three-Eared Pill Furnace and began to refine the Azure Spirit Pill.

After eating two Azure Spirit Pills and Feeding Spirit Pills, the flames spat out by the Crimson Flame Fox were particularly energetic.

Under the raging flames, the pill furnace glowed even more red and bright.

Ye Jingcheng was already quite skilled in refining the Azure Spirit Pill, so it was not too difficult at the moment.

Plus, his alchemy skills had improved a lot in the past few days.

He refined nine Azure Spirit Pills in the first batch, which made Ye Jingcheng quite happy, and he directly rewarded one of them to the Crimson Flame Fox.

For the next ten days, Ye Jingcheng was refining Azure Spirit Pills!

He refined a total of nine batches, but only failed one, with an extremely high success rate.

Moreover, the lowest output was seven pills.

This allowed Ye Jingcheng to obtain a full sixty-two Azure Spirit Pills.

With so many Azure Spirit Pills, Ye Jingcheng hung a sign on the door of his house, warning the other Ye clansmen that he was in secluded cultivation.

Then, he activated the formation and sat down on the stone bed.

In his mind, he consolidated all the key points of the Four-Phase Celestial Origin Sutra again.

After confirming that there were no doubts, Ye Jingcheng finally began to switch cultivation methods.

The warm Fire Leaving Skill slowly dissipated, replaced by a more abundant Four-Phase spiritual energy.

A completely different cultivation path slowly opened up in Ye Jingcheng’s body.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng’s aura instantly plummeted from the sixth level of Qi training to the first level of Qi training.

Unlike the Fire Leaving Skill, which only needed to pass through a dozen meridians in one cycle, the Four-Phase Celestial Origin Sutra passed through more meridians, not to mention many hidden meridians, making it more difficult to discover and expand.

Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng himself was a person who could endure loneliness, and he was not in a hurry. He slowly expanded step by step, forgetting about time.

Another month passed, and Ye Jingcheng exhaled a long breath, reaching the third level of Qi training again.

The initial switch was extremely smooth, and at the third level of Qi training, Ye Jingcheng could begin to take Azure Spirit Pills.

With an Azure Spirit Pill in his stomach, a large amount of spiritual energy appeared in Ye Jingcheng’s body, falling into the new cycle under the guidance.

However, Ye Jingcheng was not satisfied with the speed. He activated the Beast Communication Tattoo again, and with the arrival of the Crimson Flame Fox’s spiritual power, Ye Jingcheng found that his switching speed had greatly increased again!

It was not inferior to the effect of the Azure Spirit Pill!

Ye Jingcheng knew that this was because the gap between his cultivation and the Crimson Flame Fox’s was now greater!

Moreover, this time, Ye Jingcheng could connect to the Goldscale Beast’s Beast Communication Tattoo!

But thinking that it would be better to use the Beast Communication Tattoo after the Goldscale Beast advanced to the late stage of Qi training, which might help him break through to the seventh level of Qi training, Ye Jingcheng gave up that idea and continued to concentrate on switching cultivation methods.

Another Azure Spirit Pill appeared in his hand and was placed in his mouth!

As he cultivated in cycles, a spiritual light emerged on his body, but this spiritual light was sometimes red, sometimes green, sometimes yellow, and sometimes blue.

It was quite peculiar, with the red color lasting the longest!

It also corresponded to Ye Jingcheng’s strongest fire phase.

After another three months, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes, a trace of spiritual shadow flashing in his eyes.

He exhaled a long breath. Now, his cultivation was once again at the sixth level of Qi training!

Moreover, unlike the Fire Leaving Skill’s sixth level of Qi training, which seemed superficial, this time’s sixth level of Qi training was extremely condensed.

And when he condensed the Fireball Technique again, he found that he condensed it faster and closer to the Crimson Flame Fox’s fireball.
