After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 225 The 9th Floor of the Pill Tower

Outside the Dan Tower.

When Vice President Song Changsheng saw the visitors enter the eighth floor, he was greatly shocked. After so many years, finally a person with the right destiny has appeared who can enter the last two floors!

Song Changsheng could only silently pray that this person was from the Alchemist Alliance.

Inside the Danta Tower.

Observing the alchemy process of the senior alchemists in the illusion of the Pill Tower, Ye Xiaobai learned that he could achieve the refining of perfect-grade pills by using array formations to assist in alchemy.

Although Ye Xiaobai has not yet fully mastered the special formation setup, it is still possible for him to set up a simplified version.

To save time, Ye Xiaobai flew at full speed through the eighth floor.

He was thinking about searching everywhere for the entrance to the ninth floor!

It took Ye Xiaobai a full half hour to finally find the entrance to the ninth floor, despite encountering traces of other Pill Tower phantoms along the way.

Ye Xiaobai refrained from making any stop.

Directly release your divine sense to enter it.

The entrance formation also contains alchemy furnaces and spiritual herbs, awaiting alchemists to take on the challenge.

Ye Xiaobai had never refined an eighth-grade pill before.

Moreover, the refining requirements here are for top-grade pills.

Time was of the essence, so Ye Xiaobai first adjusted his mindset and calmed down before proceeding with the formation he had seen the alchemist set up.

They carefully set it up.

You only realize how little you know when you need to use it; when you need to set up a formation, you realize how lacking your knowledge of formations is.

Previously, Ye Xiaobai had only learned how to set up first-order formations, but that was far from enough.

This alchemy-aiding formation is clearly not simple; it uses several times more array flags than ordinary formations.

Fortunately, after consuming the spiritual fruit, Ye Xiaobai's comprehension improved significantly, making it easier for him to understand formations.

After a flurry of activity, the auxiliary formation was finally set up, albeit a simplified version.

Next, we began refining the elixir.

The pill to be refined this time is called the Transformation Pill, which can transform demonic beasts into human form, giving them human intelligence and appearance.

For many demonic beasts, it is not easy to successfully transform into human form by relying solely on their own cultivation. Moreover, there are requirements for cultivation level; they need to reach the eighth rank, which is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of human cultivators, in order to complete the transformation.

With this Transformation Pill, one can transform into human form sooner, and after transforming, one's cultivation speed will also be faster.

In short, the Transformation Pill is very helpful to demonic beasts.

Thinking of the extremely important opportunity on the ninth floor, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but tremble as he placed the spiritual herbs. He repeatedly told himself to calm down and refine the Transformation Pill before considering other things.

However, her heart was still pounding uncontrollably, and Ye Xiaobai could clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

What's above the ninth floor? Is there alchemy experience? Are there any other treasures?

Once the mind is opened up, it's always difficult to concentrate on alchemy.

Ye Xiaobai quickly recited the Heart-Clearing Mantra, and after a short while, he calmed his restless heart.

The refining of the Transformation Pill then proceeded in an orderly manner.

With the last of the spiritual herbs, the Thousand-Year Autumn Purple Flower, added to the alchemy furnace, all the spiritual herbs had been added.

The remaining task is to remove impurities from the spiritual herbs and condense the elixir.

Soon, the impurities in the Autumn Purple Flower were perfectly refined, and next came the gathering of spiritual energy from more than a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs.

Sure enough, refining an eighth-grade pill was no easy task. In just a short while, Ye Xiaobai was already drenched in sweat, with large beads of sweat rolling down his back like broken beads.

At this moment, the sheer amount of spiritual energy he was expending was beyond imagination. If it were an ordinary Core Formation stage alchemist, they would certainly not be able to withstand such a massive consumption.

They might be able to hold on for a while when they first start trying, but as time goes on, the pain of their consciousness being rapidly extracted will gradually erode their will, making it difficult for them to continue.

Ye Xiaobai, with his unwavering perseverance and persistent pursuit of alchemy, was able to grit his teeth and persevere under these extremely difficult circumstances, attempting to successfully refine the eighth-grade pill.

Every attempt was like dancing with death; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction. Yet, he remained fearless, throwing himself wholeheartedly into alchemy, as if the entire world consisted only of the pills in the furnace and himself…

Unfortunately, the first attempt to refine it failed.

The energy gathered within the alchemy furnace was like a surging, boundless ocean, its sheer size beyond imagination. The energy churned and surged within the furnace, threatening to burst it apart.

Meanwhile, the auxiliary formation beside them acted like a silent, mysterious guardian, continuously adding spiritual energy. These two forces intertwined and collided, forming an extremely complex and powerful aura.

This was the first time Ye Xiaobai had encountered such an unprecedented situation. Although he usually cultivated diligently and was quite proficient in various alchemy methods, he was clearly at a loss and lacked sufficient experience in dealing with such a huge energy impact and the extra spiritual power brought by the auxiliary formation.

He paced anxiously beside the alchemy furnace, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to handle this unexpected situation. However, despite his best efforts to control the situation, he ultimately couldn't withstand the overwhelming energy surge.

In the end, after this fierce competition, he only managed to refine one Transformation Pill, which was full of cracks. The cracks on the Transformation Pill were like the marks left by the vicissitudes of time, telling the story of the difficulties and helplessness in this refining process.

Closing his eyes, Ye Xiaobai recalled the alchemist's process in the illusion of the Pill Tower. He tried his best not to miss a single move or smile.

I wanted to learn as much as possible from the experience and discover my own shortcomings.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes, feeling as if he had grasped something, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Ye Xiaobai immediately adjusted the alchemy furnace and auxiliary formations, and began the next challenge.

The second alchemy process proceeded smoothly before the pill condensation, just like before, until the final, tense stage—the pill condensation.

Ye Xiaobai manipulated the fusion of spiritual energy within the alchemy furnace while carefully diverting his divine sense to guide the spiritual energy gathered in the auxiliary formation to slowly flow into the furnace.

The two spiritual energies seemed less mischievous and playful this time; they began to slowly merge together.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a loud "bang!" was heard, and the elixir was completed.

Ye Xiaobai was extremely excited. He had finally succeeded in refining the pills and excitedly opened the furnace.

Looking at the round, silvery pill, Ye Xiaobai was deeply disappointed—it was just a mid-grade Transformation Pill.

Ye Xiaobai guessed that it might be due to his own lack of skill, which caused a serious loss of spiritual energy from the spiritual herbs, resulting in their inability to condense into a higher-quality Transformation Pill.

After a brief moment of reflection and summarization, Ye Xiaobai was now full of confidence. This time, he was certain he could succeed!

Half an hour later, a top-grade Transformation Pill appeared in the alchemy furnace.

Ye Xiaobai still felt a little regretful that he had not been able to refine a perfect Transformation Pill.

As a yellow light surged into Ye Xiaobai's mind, his divine sense strengthened once again, approaching the level of a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

A moment later, Ye Xiaobai successfully arrived at the place that countless alchemists longed to visit—the ninth floor of the Pill Tower!
