During the fusion process, Xunuo gradually infused his magical power, slowly increasing its intensity. The process involved continuously stirring the purified medicinal materials, ensuring that the various properties were evenly combined until they became a single entity, inseparable from one another. As time went on, the difficulty of fusion increased. When the medicinal materials reached a certain level of fusion, they became so viscous that stirring became nearly impossible. At this moment, it was crucial to distribute the medicinal properties absolutely evenly while still having enough energy left to form the pill, making it increasingly challenging.
Thus, this step of fusion was a progressively slower process. However, Xunuo's approach to fusion was a uniformly accelerating process, gradually replacing Mind Power with magical energy in the labor of stirring. Although this acceleration was exceptionally slow—so slow that an outsider would hardly notice—it was evident to Zhou Laifu, a master of Alchemy.
Initially, Zhou Laifu did not realize that Xunuo was using magical power to replace Divine Sense for part of the labor. It wasn't until a day later, when he observed that Xunuo's speed of fusion continued to accelerate uniformly, that he suddenly understood that this young man was utilizing magical power.
Using magical power for some labor is not difficult. However, applying it with precision is something beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
What truly shocked Zhou Laifu was not just this fact but rather Xunuo's concept of mixing magical power with Divine Sense. This revelation opened up a new path in the realm of Chaotic Valley Alchemy, leading to significant changes in Alchemical techniques.
Gradually, more Alchemists and Refiners came to observe Xunuo at his Alchemical Platform. His method proved applicable in both Alchemy and refining techniques. Over time, Xunuo left all other Alchemists far behind in this step of fusion.
Two days later, the medicinal paste in Xunuo's cauldron had thickened to a point where stirring became exceedingly difficult. If he relied solely on Mind Power to stir the materials at this stage, the speed would slow down to a point where changes would be nearly imperceptible. However, with the assistance of magical power, although he could no longer accelerate the process, he could maintain a consistent speed. This consistency greatly benefited the fusion of medicinal properties.
Finally, at a certain moment, Xunuo urged his magical power, causing the furnace flames to surge suddenly. Instantly, the thick medicinal paste in the Alchemical Cauldron seemed on the verge of solidifying. Almost in the next instant, as the furnace temperature dropped sharply, Xunuo struck the Alchemical Cauldron. A series of crystal-clear and round Unity Pills flew out of the cauldron and landed with a crisp "clink" onto a jade plate on the Alchemical Platform.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted at the other nineteen Alchemical Platforms. The Earth Fire became tumultuous, causing fluctuations in furnace temperature. The Alchemists employed various techniques to stabilize the flames and ensure that fusion could continue. Yet two Alchemical Platforms still emitted loud explosions; their lids flew off as thick medicinal paste sprayed onto the top of the Blue Shield surrounding them.
Two Alchemists glanced at their disheveled platforms with frustration before stepping out of their formations to survey their surroundings, wondering who had caused such chaos by disturbing the Earth Fire so quickly.
Although Xunuo had successfully produced pills, he did not rush out of his formation. This session of Alchemy had consumed a significant amount of magical power and Divine Sense; while there was no immediate danger here, Xunuo's cautious nature led him to decide to restore most of his magical power and Divine Sense before exiting.
However, the two unfortunate Alchemists did not think so. It had only been two and a half days since they began their Alchemy. They absolutely did not believe that anyone could produce pills in such a short time. Thus, they suspected that someone was causing trouble: unable to refine pills themselves, they had prematurely ignited the Earth Fire to harm others.
Looking around, they noticed that only Xunuo's Alchemical Platform had extinguished its flames. They approached and saw that the jade plate on the Alchemical Platform contained thirteen Unity Pills, still gently rolling. It was evident that they had just been produced. The two exchanged glances for a moment before retreating back into the crowd, falling silent.
Xi Dao Jing, on the other hand, was overjoyed, knowing that his bet had paid off. He could obtain three Unity Pills at once, which would greatly enhance his side's strength. Although he had spent materials for sixty Unity Pills in total, in a place like Chaotic Valley where medicinal herbs and spiritual pills were extremely scarce, this cost was still quite advantageous.
Meanwhile, Zhou Laifu and the other Alchemists were anxious to assess the quality of the pills. Although Xunuo's method of Alchemy was innovative and significantly accelerated the process, the quality of the pills was also a standard by which an Alchemist and their refining formula were measured. If this method produced Unity Pills of too low a grade, it would not be worth promoting and might even be gradually phased out.
Even though they were all Unity Pills, there was a significant difference in the enhancement of magical power between high-grade and low-grade pills. This difference became even more pronounced for higher-level Cultivators, who could feel the variations in medicinal properties more acutely. In fact, when attempting to break through a Bottleneck, one might fail due to using pills of insufficient quality.
Xunuo remained calm and soon entered a meditative state, leaving the observing Alchemists with no choice but to wait anxiously for him to emerge.
Half a day later, Xunuo opened his eyes and stepped out of the formation. The Cultivator from Crimson Flame Hall then lifted the restrictions on the formation and retrieved the jade plate, handing it over to Zhou Laifu and several other Alchemists for evaluation.
Only Zhou Laifu and two other senior Alchemists were qualified to participate in assessing the pill quality. Each held a Unity Pill for an extended period before Zhou Laifu exclaimed in astonishment, "This is above average quality; it's considered a fine product in recent years."
The other two Alchemists nodded in agreement. With this assessment, Xunuo's batch of Unity Pills gained significant value and would greatly assist high-level Cultivators in breaking through their Bottlenecks.
Next, an envoy from the Foundation Stage Cultivator took out a jade bottle containing five Unity Pills. Qin Xiaotian and Ruan Jingtian each took one, while Xi Dao Jing happily took three. This made Qin Xiaotian and Ruan Jingtian seethe with envy.
Yet Xi Dao Jing continued to smile as he addressed Xunuo, "Congratulations, Xue Dao You! This time you have also obtained three Unity Pills. Do you have any plans for these three Unity Pills?"
Seeing Xi Dao Jing's greedy expression, Xunuo realized that as long as these three Unity Pills remained with him, he would always be under scrutiny. It would be better to relinquish them sooner rather than later.
Xunuo was unaware of the specific classification of Unity Pills. It seemed that during the last attempt to break through the Bottleneck, consuming three Unity Pills might have been due to the poor quality of the pills. Although Xunuo intended to check the quality of the Unity Pills he had, he decided to trade the lower-quality ones with Li Zai.
However, this batch of Unity Pills had already been appraised by Zhou Laifu and others. It would be difficult to deceive someone as cunning as Li Zai, and it could potentially bring trouble upon himself. With a smile, Xunuo tossed three Unity Pills to Li Zai and said, "Friend Li, our Death Contract Transaction is complete today. We will cancel my Divine Consciousness Mark shortly."
