Chapter 148: Alchemy Breaks the Cocoon

When Shi Chen arrived in Linyang Immortal City, he did not need to report to the City Lord's Mansion. Here, with his status, he was not qualified to meet the City Lord.

Linyang Immortal City is the commander-in-chief of the human race's front. As far as Shi Chen knows, there are no less than five fusion cultivators in the immortal city, but they are in charge of their own duties and often hinder each other. Originally, the human race has more fusion cultivators than the sea monster clan, almost five times as many. As long as the human race can unite the front, the sea monster clan would not have been defeated until now. It's a pity that in such a good game of chess, each chess piece has its own ideas.

These are not things that Shi Chen can participate in now. He knows that every sect and clan that participates in this war wants to gain some benefits, so the deployment of the human race is like a pile of loose sand.

After renting a cave and arranging two Taoist companions, Shi Chen began to study the Infant Transformation Pill.

After studying the pill formula for ten days, he started to refine the pill. There were a total of fifty batches of Infant Transformation Pills. He refined one batch carefully every day, and then summarized his mistakes and improved the refining technique. After a month of repeated trials and refining, and practicing with thirty batches of pills, Shi Chen was confident that he could refine the Infant Transformation Pill.

The process of refining the thirty-first batch of Infant Transformation Pills was very cautious and took a full five hours. Every step and every detail was done to the best, but unfortunately the pill still failed to be made in the end.

Shi Chen stopped refining the elixir and began to analyze the development process and techniques.

Every step, every key point, and every time the medicine is mixed, the recipes are compared with each other.

Ten days later, Shi Chen discovered that all the steps and details were in accordance with the recipe. Even the improvements Shi Chen had made to the alchemy techniques were now back to the recipe. The thirty-second furnace, the thirty-third furnace...

Until the 35th furnace, Shi Chen still failed to successfully refine the Infant Transformation Pill.

Putting aside the alchemy, Shi Chen knew that the problem was not with his own technique or refining. The failure of the Infant Transformation Pill was not his fault.

Shi Chen really couldn't understand it. All the steps, techniques, and temperature were controlled perfectly, but when the pill was finally formed, the medicinal power suddenly dissipated, and the elixir that could be made into a pill suddenly mutated and turned into waste.

Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying both felt the same mood during the past ten days. Although Shi Chen was not furious, he was a little anxious and irritable, and looked uneasy.

"Husband, is there a problem with refining the elixir?" Liang Ruyan asked with concern.

"Hmm!" Shi Chen thought about the problem of refining the elixir and answered vaguely: "There were some problems with the development of the Infant Transformation Pill. Everything else was successful, but in the end, the elixir still couldn't be produced."

"Husband, take your time, don't rush, we still have plenty of time." Xu Qianying said while stroking Shi Chen's cheek with heartache.

"I am indeed anxious. In the past, when I was refining pills, I would feel the effect after ten batches at most, and the pills would be successful in less than twenty batches. Now, I have been refining pills for thirty-five batches, but the pills are still not successful." Shi Chen said a little discouraged.

"Don't worry, my husband. Let's stop refining the elixir first and take it easy. We can continue refining it when we calm down." Liang Ruyan took Shi Chen's hand and comforted him, "You look so sad right now."

Shi Chen looked at his two Taoist companions who were concerned about him, and a smile appeared on his originally worried face. "I was too anxious. Alas! I made the ladies worry. Okay, I won't study the elixir for the next few days. I will spend some time with you guys."

"As long as my husband is not worried, we can feel at ease." Liang Ruyan said with a smile.

"It's my fault for making you worry." Shi Chen hugged one person on each side, kissed them twice, and continued, "Don't worry, I won't continue like this, but you have to help me get rid of my anger."

Shi Chen stopped refining the pill, but he was often distracted, and was always worried about the reason why the infant pill could not be made.

That day, Shi Chen agreed to Xu Qianying's request and went out of the city for some fun.

It is early summer now, and the outside is full of green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming.

The beautiful scenery along the way made Shi Chen feel much more relaxed. When they arrived at a river, Shi Chen went fishing while Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying were responsible for making a fire and barbecuing.

Everyone was having a great time, feeling much more relaxed, and the anxiety in their hearts was reduced a lot. It was a rare opportunity to relax, so the three of them traveled for three days. There were green mountains and clear waters, lush trees, and many wild flowers blooming in the fields, red, yellow, purple, blue, in patches and clusters.

The vibrant scene was so captivating that one couldn't leave. Xu Qianying saw a butterfly that had just emerged from its cocoon and exclaimed in surprise, "My husband, look! The insect spins a cocoon, then emerges, finally soaring into the sky in another form of life."

Shi Chen, who was fishing and thinking about alchemy, heard Xu Qianying's cry. He stood up suddenly and asked Xu Qianying, "What did my wife say just now?"

"Soaring in the sky in another form of life? Is that it?" Xu Qianying said a little confusedly.

"No, the first sentence." Shi Chen asked impatiently.

"A worm spins a cocoon and then breaks out of it, is that the sentence?" Xu Qianying asked.

Xu Qianying and Liang Ruyan had already emerged from the flowers and stood in front of Shi Chen.

"Yes, that's the phrase, Cocooning, breaking out of the cocoon. Cocooning and breaking out of the cocoon, I get it, haha! My lucky star, I love you so much, I understand what the problem is with the Infant Transformation Pill." Shi Chen said happily, "When I refine the Infant Transformation Pill, I will reward my wife well, first give her a kiss."

Shi Chen hugged the two people in front of him, kissed each of them, then summoned the flying boat and returned to Linyang Fairy City with the two of them.

After returning to the cave, Shi Chen couldn't wait to enter the alchemy room, clean the alchemy furnace, start refining the medicine, purify the liquid medicine, mix the liquid medicine step by step, and finally roast the medicine into pills. He then used the pill-forming technique, and then used his spiritual consciousness to control the mixed spiritual medicine, broke through the pill-forming technique, started the furnace and drew the pill, all in one go.

Four pills full of spiritual energy were drawn out of the alchemy furnace. Shi Chen put them into a jade bottle and sealed it.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Finally succeeded!" Shi Chen laughed loudly. The depression and irritability of the past few days were swept away and he was extremely excited.

With this excitement, he rushed into Xu Qianying's room, and a passionate hand-to-hand fight took place.

Shi Chen was inexplicably excited and went all out. In less than an hour, Xu Qianying could no longer bear the pleasure. Before she passed out, she called Liang Ruyan. Shi Chen continued to work hard, using all his strength in the dark, and finally broke Liang Ruyan's silence, causing her to mutter for two moments before releasing all the pressure.

Feeling refreshed, he slept with a smile on his face, hugging the two sleeping ladies.

Shi Chen's alchemy skills were not inherited, but were acquired through his own research bit by bit. He first learned a basic alchemy technique from the Five Elements Sect which he had inherited ten thousand years ago.

Basic alchemy is just the basics. There is no specific alchemy formula to guide the inheritance. It is like learning calligraphy. There is no teacher to teach you. You can only explore it by yourself. You can write each word by tracing its shape, but you don’t know the writing order, which is left first, then right, top first, then bottom.

The art of breaking through the cocoon has been mentioned in the basic art of alchemy. There are instructions for alchemy, but it only briefly mentions what kind of elixir it is used for, and it is applicable to special elixirs.

Shi Chen had been refining pills for so many years, but he had never used this alchemy technique. It was Xu Qianying's unintentional words that reminded Shi Chen that the Infant Transformation Pill was ready.
