Chapter 122: Continuous refining of rank 1 pills
122 Continuous refining of rank 1 pills
Ajax came to one corner of the room and carefully took out the three ingredients, namely Ruby grass, Lake moss, and the Elephant clary.
These ingredients are fundamental ingredients and can be found anywhere much less in the Five elemental world, which was known for its rich essence of nature.
That was the reason, Kraiww quickly found so many of them just by searching the Hawk tribe's ingredients storage and easily given away without any hesitation.
Soon, Ajax took ten of each ingredient and placed them in front of him separately in order.
He quickly arranged the 10 sets of herbs and started his refining.
For the refining this time he didn't use the low-level mortal grade cauldron but a new technique he got from a system mission.
That's right; when using the Basic Fire Refining technique, there was no need for any cauldron.
Ajax got puzzled when he read the description of the refining technique, like how can anyone refine pills without a cauldron.
However, after the knowledge of the refining technique was injected into his mind by the system, he found some uniques theories in his head.
'Fire is not only an element but a weapon.
Fire is not only a weapon but also a medium.
Fire is not only a medium but a light in the darkness.
Fire is not only light in the darkness but a mystery itself.
Uncovering the mystery makes you unfold yourselves.'
These lines made him think a lot about the mystery of the fire.
With the newly gained profound knowledge about the fire, Ajax thought that he could improve his success rate from 50 percent to more than that.
Ajax repeated the lines he got from the basic fire refining technique and created fire from his universal essence of nature in the shape of a cauldron which was not very stable.
After some time, he was finally able to make the fire in the shape of the cauldron.
He shifted the control of the fire cauldron to one hand and managed to free the other hand.
He did not stop there, and slowly he managed to grab one set of ingredients with his free hand.
Just as he was about to throw the ingredient into the fire cauldron, the stable fire became unstable, and the cauldron shape changed.
As he shifted his attention to the unstable fire in one of his hand, the ingredients in his other hands were charred and destroyed thoroughly.
"Shit," Ajax scolded himself before continuing again.
This time he managed to stabilize the fire quicker than before and managed to free one hand.
With a free hand, he managed to refine one set of ingredients by producing another fire from his universal essence of nature.
As though he thought everything went smoothly, the refining of the Elephant clary failed, which made the stable fire in his other hand, unstable.
"Damn it", Ajax shouted but didn't lose his confidence and continued the process.
Every time he refined a set of ingredient, he failed.
Still, he managed to learn a discovery from his every failure in the refinement.
Ting,
"Please heavens, let this batch of pills be refined successfully", when he heard the sound from the fire cauldron, he prayed heavens before opening the fire cauldron with a thought.
"Hahahhaah"
After refining for 11th time, he finally refined his first set of the ingredients making him heave a sigh of relief and laughed for some time to express his happiness at the successful refining.
He took rest for a short while, before continuing his refining of the rank 1 level breaking pills.
Although Level breaking pills were not that useful for Ajax, he can consume it to gain some essence of nature from each pill.
That's right; he can not only gain the essence of nature from killing others but also by consuming a specific type of pills that were focused on cultivation.
When he started refining 12th time, he failed at the critical junction of the refinement, but that didn't stop him from making another round of refining.
To his surprise, he failed for the 13th time, making him somewhat sorrow.
He took a short break to relax before starting the next round of refining.
When he failed two times back to back, Ajax was downcasted when he refined for the 14th time.
But soon, his dejected mood turned happy, when that refinement was successful.
With the same flow, he continued his refinement until his essence of nature was completely exhausted.
'Ding,
The host's spirit consciousness is below 50 units of the essence of nature.
'Ding,
The system suggests the host to take some rest before starting his refinement.
'Ding,
The host can consume the pills he refined to increase the number of units of the essence of nature.
'Ding,
Still, the host needs some rest before the next refinement of the pills.
When he heard the continuous system notifications in his head, Ajax quickly checked his spirit consciousness.
'Ding,
Spirit consciousness:- 20 units/ 6200 units (200 units capacity is currently locked )
The host needs to contract his first official spirit to unlock the locked spirit consciousness capacity and to increase the passive increment from the spirit cultivation technique.
Ajax was shocked when he saw his current units of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness as he didn't expect the refining of rank 1 pills was too consuming when compared to the regular procedure of using a real cauldron to refine.
But Ajax didn't mind that consumption as he can increase his number of units of the essence of nature by consuming the level-breaking pills he refined.
"System, how much time has passed since I started refining the pills?", Ajax was immersed in the refining of pills, which caused him to forget the flow of time.
So, he asked the system about the time.
'Ding,
The host refined for a total of eight hours, refining a total of 152 times.
"What? I was?immersed in the refining for a total of eight hours?" Ajax didn't believe that, because he didn't felt like eight hours have passed.
But, soon he became happy when he read the latter part of the system notification which said he refined for a total of 152 times.
'I wonder how many times I have successfully refined?' Ajax expectantly asked the system, "System, please separate the successful refinements and failures from the total number of refinement of pills."
