In order to confirm whether there was any problem in his refining process, Yang Qi even observed the records on the wall again. After confirming that there was no problem in his refining process, Yang Qi couldn't help but recall the unstable medicinal power when he was condensing the pill.
“Try again!”
After recovering some of his energy, Yang Qi focused his eyes and immediately began to try to refine the pill once again. This time was almost no different from the previous two times, and the pill refining process went very smoothly.
However, the pill was still forming. When it was finally forming, the medicinal power became unstable again and the pill failed to form!
"Failed again!" Yang Qi sighed softly.
During the refining process, he had been very careful and had carefully sensed that there was no problem with the refining process, but the final pill formation still failed like the previous two times. For a moment, he had no idea what went wrong in the refining process.
"Only two chances left!"
Yang Qi did not rush into refining the elixir, but instead carefully recalled the entire refining process, thinking about what omissions there were in the refining process, and then deduced it based on the records on the wall.
After some deduction, Yang Qi discovered that there seemed to be no problem with the refining process.
"What exactly is the problem?"
Yang Qi frowned slightly. The refining failed. There must be something wrong in the process, otherwise how could the medicinal power be unstable when the pill was finally condensed.
"We must change our thinking. If we continue to follow this line of thought, we will never find the problem."
Yang Qi took a deep breath, knowing that if he continued to follow the method on the wall and the previous refining method, he would only be confined within the framework and would not be able to find the problem at all.
This time, Yang Qi abandoned the refining method recorded on the wall and no longer thought about the previous refining process. Instead, he began to deduce it according to the properties of the medicinal materials and their respective medicinal properties.
This kind of deduction is equivalent to knowing the elixir and its medicinal properties to deduce the elixir refining process. Of course, it would not work under normal circumstances, but because this is a test, the medicinal materials and medicinal properties of the elixir given are absolutely fine, otherwise it would be impossible to succeed, so the refining method can be reversed.
As time passed, Yang Qi was completely immersed in the deduction. Countless simulations allowed him to deduce nine refining methods. However, he only had the chance to refine the pill twice, and it was impossible for him to try them one by one.
"There are nine methods of refining. The one you tried before can be discarded."
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he directly abandoned the method that had failed three times before. The previous refining method obviously had problems. Although he didn't know where the problem was, it was still okay to abandon this method.
"There are eight left!"
Although one refining method was abandoned, there are still eight left, and it is impossible to try every one of them.
"wall!"
Yang Qi's gaze fell on the wall not far away. Now he had deduced eight refining methods, but he still needed to continue to eliminate them, otherwise he would never be able to pass this test.
Looking at the records on the wall, Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that the test of refining a martial king-level elixir would be so difficult!"
In fact, Yang Qi rarely encountered bottlenecks in his cultivation. Even in the Shadow Path, which he was not very good at, his speed of comprehension was not slow due to his powerful soul. But facing the Alchemy Path, which he was not good at, Yang Qi could only smile bitterly. Just a test was enough to give him such a headache.
"This is… "
When Yang Qi carefully observed the records on the wall again, his expression suddenly changed, and then a look of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry appeared on his face.
"So that's how it is!" Yang Qi said with a wry smile.
He finally knew where his problem lay. The method of refining Qingxin Pill was recorded on the wall, but the method was just a simple record. Many of the operations were perfected by Yang Qi during the refining process, but in fact they were not recorded on the wall.
Simply put, Yang Qi made a common sense mistake. He used his common sense to judge the process of alchemy, but in fact, alchemy itself is a process of fusion of medicinal power with millimeter precision. Yang Qi used his experience in alchemy to judge, and the result was a wrong refining method. This wrong refining method happened to be the fusion of medicinal power, which caused him to fail three times in a row.
In the final analysis, Yang Qi was wrong in the source of alchemy, but he had been ignoring this problem, which resulted in him not finding the problem no matter how he reflected on it. Fortunately, Yang Qi finally worked back, because he tried many aspects of deduction, and combined with the records on the wall, he immediately found the key to the previous problem.
"In this case, of the remaining eight refining methods, only this one is correct!"
After realizing his mistake, Yang Qi looked back at the eight methods he had deduced and instantly eliminated seven of them, leaving only the last one!
"Was this done on purpose by the owner of the cave, or did I go in the wrong direction?" Looking at the wall in front of him, a thought flashed through Yang Qi's mind.
There is nothing wrong with the records on the wall itself, but they are somewhat misleading. This is why he was unable to find the problem when he first combined the records on the wall. In addition to his own reasons, it was also related to the fact that the records on the wall were somewhat misleading.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi stopped thinking about it, and started refining the medicine once again by activating the medicine cauldron. With the experience of the three previous failures and his own deductions, the whole process was extremely smooth even when he was trying a new refining method.
"Ningdan!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he urged his energy to begin condensing the liquid medicine in the medicine cauldron.
Buzz~
All of a sudden, the medicine cauldron trembled, and then a strange fragrance emanated from the cauldron, and six grass-green pills lay quietly in the cauldron.
“Finally succeeded!”
Looking at the Qingxin Pill that he had refined, Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
It took him nearly six days to finally refine the Qingxin Pill. If he had delayed any further, he would have failed the test.
"Congratulations on successfully refining the Qingxin Pill. These six Qingxin Pills are your reward for this test."
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded in Yang Qi's ears. In addition to the six Qingxin Pills, the last batch of refining materials in Yang Qi's hand were not taken back. These were all considered rewards for passing the test.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
As the sudden voice fell, six Qingxin Pills fell into Yang Qi's hands.
Buzz~
After the Qingxin Pill fell into Yang Qi's hands, a strange wave instantly enveloped Yang Qi, followed by an irresistible force. The scenery in front of Yang Qi changed, and then he appeared in the void.
"Failed?"
Looking at the cave not far away, Yang Qi's mouth twitched fiercely. Obviously, although he passed the test, he ultimately failed to meet the requirements of the cave owner. He only got some opportunities and was moved out. (To be continued)
