This time, the four gathered enough materials for fifteen furnaces, sufficient for Li Yunjing to refine pills for three days. This greatly improved his mood. As Li Yunjing began his second round of alchemy, the war between the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and other major sects, including the "Yin Mountain Sect," broke out in full force. The Black Tortoise Guardian Army of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was fully mobilized, and the sect’s "Shenxiao Battleship" appeared one after another in the "Transverse Mountain Range". Above the high skies, numerous Nascent Soul Realm elites from various factions had repeatedly engaged in decisive battles. Between the high and low skies, Golden Core Realm elders often took part in chaotic battles, with each faction’s flying devices moving and clashing at this altitude. In the lower skies, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators fought each other fiercely. In summary, the chaos had completely erupted. The previous ambushes by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had resulted in overwhelming victories. Besides "Yellow Dragon Ridge," sixteen other strongholds of various sects, including Demon Dao, Demon Race, Buddhist Sect, even other Profound Sect and Confucian Sect forces, were seized by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". Only three attack targets remained unconquered by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect." These minor setbacks did not affect the overall situation. With the arrival of the main army, it wouldn’t take long to capture these three strongholds. This time, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" suddenly struck, targeting all forces except its allies. Powerful forces from all directions were caught off guard in the first month of the New Year. Almost eighty percent of the "Transverse Mountain Range" fell into the hands of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". In the days that Li Yunjing helped refine pills, the Imperial Guard of the "City of Glory," the Black Tortoise Army of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and various sects and clan armies of the Great Ming Dynasty, all dispersed into squads, continuously clearing forces. Almost every moment, small conflicts erupted in various parts of the "Transverse Mountain Range". The plan of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" proceeded exceptionally smoothly, and the actions against hostile forces achieved brilliant results. Cultivators from other forces were relentlessly pursued, with no place to escape to. Some cultivators from smaller sects directly surrendered and were integrated into a separate army to assist the main force in fully occupying the "Transverse Mountain Range". However, the current good situation was uncertain how long it could be maintained. Among the major sects that suffered losses, there were some gigantic sects capable of directly confronting the "Shenxiao Dao Sect." These forces would surely not give up easily. Outside the "Transverse Mountain Range," gigantic sects from other countries were probably already organizing armies and, once ready, would launch a counterattack. In the face of the benefits of an ancestral vein, the prestige of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" held no deterring power; large-scale war was inevitable. The external turmoil did not affect Li Yunjing’s alchemy; he still refined the "True Essence Pill" for Senior Brother Wang and the other three, as usual. Among these elixirs, there were some Eighth Grade "True Essence Pills," and Li Yunjing kept a few for himself, while Senior Brother Wang and the other three each received three Eighth Grade "True Essence Pills," the rest being Ninth Grade pills. Seven days later, when Li Yunjing’s patrolling duty ended, Senior Brother Wang and the others came to receive the pills from him again. When the four received the elixirs, each getting three Eighth Grade "True Essence Pills," the entire "Yellow Dragon Ridge" was shaken. The fact that Li Yunjing could refine twelve Eighth Grade "True Essence Pills" was already considered highly skillful. Such an adept alchemy master was incredibly rare! Moreover, the fact that Li Yunjing handed them over suggested that he probably kept far more than twelve Eighth Grade "True Essence Pills" for himself! With dozens of furnaces, he produced twenty to thirty Eighth Grade pills! Such a level drew widespread admiration and discussion. Soon, all fellow sect members came to him. Some of them were not short of "True Essence Pills," but the Eighth Grade quality still tempted them to ask Li Yunjing for some help in refining. As a result, Li Yunjing’s threshold was almost worn out from the constant visitors. That day, he did nothing but receive these fellow sect members. After sending everyone off, Li Yunjing poured himself a cup of tea to soothe his throat. He had received more than a hundred and twelve furnaces of materials for "True Essence Pills" from his fellow sect members. With so many materials, Li Yunjing could refine for half a month. Hence, Li Yunjing could rest for a month without having to patrol. Fınd the newest release on novel※fire.net Even Yu Yuanhua was alarmed by the situation. However, with Li Yunjing’s alchemy tasks fully booked, Yu Yuanhua did not seek him out. If Yu Yuanhua had stopped Li Yunjing from helping fellow disciples refine "True Essence Pills," the complaints would have been endless, and Yu Yuanhua did not want to attract such trouble. As long as someone else helped Li Yunjing with patrolling, Yu Yuanhua chose to turn a blind eye. This time, Li Yunjing did not rush into alchemy. He had made it clear to his fellow members that he needed six days to rest after extensive alchemy. Whether Li Yunjing was exhausted or simply managing his time, using patrol time to refine pills for them, no one questioned deeply. Only a fool would ask Li Yunjing if that was what he intended. Without external interruptions or tasks, Li Yunjing could finally have some peace. In his exchanges with some fellow members, he traded for three Tier Two pill formulas. These were treasures! Li Yunjing genuinely wanted to comprehend and learn how to refine elixirs that could enhance divine sense. Given his current cultivation level, bodily refinement through ordinary techniques or without top-level body refining techniques meant he primarily relied on Five Elements Techniques and Thunder Power to temper his body. Although he possessed a Divine Body, it was not developed to its fullest and had many flaws. As for orthodox magical cultivation, Li Yunjing had no shortage of cultivation methods, whether the "Five Thunders True Method," "Celestial Fire Divine Flame Seal," "Reversed Innate Five Elements Skill," or "Five Elements Withering and Flourishing Skill," all were suitable for his current level. Some of these techniques were even applicable up to the Golden Core Realm. These aspects were not major problems for Li Yunjing. What he currently lacked was cultivation techniques for spiritual enhancement. Li Yunjing knew that upon returning to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," he could complete the assessment tasks and obtain the spiritual cultivation method distributed by the sect. Aside from this spiritual cultivation method, he could also enhance his spiritual power through the consumption of "Nourishing Spirit Pills". In the coming days, Li Yunjing planned to study the refining of "Nourishing Spirit Pills". The refining of "Nourishing Spirit Pills" had to be meticulous, as the materials in his hand were only enough to refine one furnace. If he failed, it would be a complete loss. Due to this, Li Yunjing spent three full days simulating the refining process of "Nourishing Spirit Pills" in his mind before starting the furnace. A month later, Li Yunjing had already completed the elixirs for the sect members. During this alchemy process, Li Yunjing even surprisingly refined three Seventh Grade "True Essence Pills". His alchemy skills improved once again. The refining of "Nourishing Spirit Pills" brought mixed results. The good news was that Li Yunjing successfully refined Ninth Grade "Nourishing Spirit Pills," but the downside was his alchemy success rate dropped to a new low, yielding only three "Nourishing Spirit Pills". A success rate of thirty percent pushed Li Yunjing to his limits! It almost threw him into a state of self-doubt, making him question why refining "Nourishing Spirit Pills" was so difficult.
