Chapter 95: 83: Mirror-Breaking Elixir, The Second Viscera Refinement of the Luo Family_3
Luo Changfeng covered the lid of the Furnace Cauldron.
What he needed to do next was to wait in silence.
Wait for the medicinal liquids to gradually dry up, to gradually solidify into thumb-sized shapes.
Then, the Elixir, would be considered complete.
…
In the courtyard,
Luo Changfeng was standing silently beside a Second-Hand Furnace Cauldron, waiting.
As time passed,
as wafts of elixir fragrance began to permeate the air,
this one-hundred-and-first attempt at Alchemy had finally succeeded.
“Success???”
Luo Changfeng looked at the Second-Hand Furnace Cauldron before him, a hint of surprise in his expression.
He was somewhat, unexpectedly, pleasantly surprised that this batch of Elixir had been successful.
Next, as he opened the tightly sealed lid of the Furnace Cauldron,
waves of medicinal fragrance immediately hit his nose.
At the bottom of the Furnace Cauldron, there lay eight mundane, medium-grade, darkly colored thumb-sized Realm Breaking Elixirs, lying there silently.
Yes, the Elixir was called the Realm Breaking Elixir.
This kind of Elixir was made specifically to break through bottlenecks and advance realms.
Consuming one could instantly grant you the qualifications to break through a realm.
And it could also increase your chances of successfully breaking through.
However, Elixirs such as these that could defy convention, defy logic, and rapidly assist in breaking through cultivation levels or shattering realm bottlenecks,
often came with significant side effects.
Luo Changfeng’s Alchemy skills, compared to those of ordinary Alchemists, were already very formidable.
Therefore, the side effects of these eight Realm Breaking Elixirs
were merely causing one to feel weak for about ten days or half a month after consumption.
“Mundane, medium-grade quality, should be fine for Luo Yong to use, right?”
Thinking this, Luo Changfeng waved his hand.
Soon after, a servant in grey clothes with cultivation at the Bone Refinement Perfection appeared suddenly in Luo Changfeng’s courtyard.
“Go and tell Luo Yong to come here…”
Luo Changfeng instructed softly.
Upon hearing these words,
the servant in grey nodded slightly and quickly disappeared from the courtyard.
…
“Patriarch Changfeng, you wanted to see me?”
Before long, Luo Yong arrived at Luo Changfeng’s residence.
“How long has your cultivation been stuck at the Bone Refinement Perfection?”
Under the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng glanced at Luo Yong beside him and asked in a low voice.
“About… over a decade?”
Luo Yong pondered for a moment and replied uncertainly.
“Do you want to break through your cultivation level?
“Do you want to reach the Viscera Refinement Realm above Bone Refinement?”
Hearing Patriarch Changfeng’s words, Luo Yong nodded eagerly, his eyes filled with longing as he said, “Of course, I do, I’ve dreamt of it.”
“Since you do, then take this Realm Breaking Elixir.
“Afterward, regulate your qi and blood.
“Whether you can break through to Viscera Refinement will depend on you…”
Luo Changfeng casually took out a thumb-sized Mirror-Breaking Elixir from a porcelain bottle.
He threw it directly in front of Luo Yong.
Luo Yong subconsciously caught the elixir.
He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed the thumb-sized Mirror-Breaking Elixir into his mouth.
The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, and a terrifying potency emerged within Luo Yong’s body.
Elixirs aren’t simply better because they are of a higher grade.
Even just a mediocre Mirror-Breaking Elixir from the mortal realm could bring Luo Yong a level of strength that was terrifying enough to be called formidable.
…
After taking the elixir, Luo Yong found an open space and sat down cross-legged.
In just an instant, his face turned a deep red.
Veins on his body became grotesquely visible in the air.
The velocity of his blood flow was accelerating with each passing moment.
His body temperature was also soaring.
Painful, very painful.
For a moment, Luo Yong felt like death would be preferable.
It was as if countless worms were inside him, ceaselessly gnawing on his flesh.
His consciousness, residing within his mind, kept telling him every moment.
“Give up, it won’t hurt anymore if you give up.”
“After giving up, everything will become wonderful again.”
“After all, you’ve been stuck at Bone Refinement Perfection for over a decade.”
“What’s the difference if you’re stuck for a few more years?”
Endless temptations continually rose in Luo Yong’s mind.
But no matter what temptations he faced,
Luo Yong just kept gritting his teeth.
Even if his teeth were creaking and a trace of blood slowly seeped from his mouth,
he never gave up this chance for a breakthrough in his cultivation.
…
Finally, after another half an hour had passed,
the effects of the elixir in Luo Yong’s body gradually transformed into his own strength.
The cultivation bottleneck that had been troubling him,
at this moment, finally shattered completely.
Luo Yong’s cultivation level, at this moment, underwent a transformation from Bone Refinement Perfection to the Initial Stage of Viscera Refinement.
“Did it work?”
Patriarch Changfeng looked at Luo Yong who lay on the ground with a faint smile on his lips but had already fainted.
He couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
This guy wasn’t bad.
Though he hadn’t stayed conscious till the end and passed out,
at least he had successfully made the breakthrough.
It was just uncertain how long he would be weakened after taking that Mirror-Breaking Elixir.
…
After people moved Luo Yong out of the courtyard,
Patriarch Changfeng began his 102nd attempt at refining the Mirror-Breaking Elixir.
However, it seemed as though his luck had run out,
as the 102nd attempt to refine the Mirror-Breaking Elixir… failed again.
This made Patriarch Changfeng doubt once again just how poor his talent in alchemy really was.
Of course, this was because Patriarch Changfeng wasn’t quite aware of certain aspects of alchemy.
If he knew that a contradiction like the Mirror-Breaking Elixir, which goes against common sense and shouldn’t exist, had an extremely low chance of successful refinement,
that one success in a hundred attempts was considered quite good,
Patriarch Changfeng’s mood would probably be much better.
