第二十三章 中品洗髓丹

However, after refining the Flexible Spirit Period cultivation technique to its fourth layer, Lin Xuan encountered a problem: the effectiveness of the Essence Cleansing Pills had significantly decreased, making his cultivation journey more challenging and slowing down his progress.

The path of cultivation became increasingly difficult as one progressed. Clearly, with his improved power, even lower-grade Essence Cleansing Pills were no longer sufficient to meet his needs.

According to common sense, if a pill's quality was poor, one could take it in larger quantities to make up for the difference. However, The Annotation on Pills clearly stated that the maximum number of pills one should consume daily was nine.

This posed a dilemma.

After careful consideration, Lin Xuan had no choice but to decide on another attempt at purifying middle-grade Essence Cleansing Pills. According to the annotation, while the upper limit for Essence Cleansing Pills consumed daily was nine, there was no specific mention of which grade they should be. In other words, lower-grade pills could be taken up to nine a day, and better middle-grade pills could also be taken up to nine.

Since lower-grade pills were already insufficient, he naturally turned his attention to middle-grade ones. Although Lin Xuan had attempted using the Blue Star Sea to purify middle-grade pills when he first discovered its uses, it was a laborious process that ultimately failed.

Now, however, circumstances were different; at the time, his cultivation level was only the second layer of the Flexible Spirit Period, whereas now he was at the peak of the fourth layer. Moreover, the Blue Star Sea grew in tandem with his spiritual energy, and as his power increased, its volume had expanded significantly. Although Lin Xuan did not dare to say it would be a hundred percent successful, given that lower-grade pills were becoming less effective, purifying middle-grade ones was his only option.

After making this decision, Lin Xuan began the process. First, he rested for a while until his spirit, spiritual energy, and the Star Sea within his dantian were all in their best state.

Then, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and took out a lower-grade Essence Cleansing Pill from an jade bottle, holding it in his hand as he released his divine sense. With his current cultivation level at the fourth layer of the Flexible Spirit Period, his spiritual energy had greatly increased, along with his divine sense. When fully extended, it could cover a ten-meter radius, revealing even the slightest details—such as ants crawling or the sound of a needle falling—to his keen perception.

Of course, this was not all. It was said that high-level cultivators could scan a hundred miles with their divine senses, and元婴期 cultivators could even travel through the void. However, these were merely legends, and Lin Xuan's current strength made it impossible for him to meet such people.

The immediate priority now was to purify middle-grade pills.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan began调动体内的蓝色光点。无数的蓝光聚集在一起,形成了一条美丽的蓝色丝带,沿着经脉移动。以前这个过程非常艰难,可以说吃力无比,现在则轻松了许多。怎么说林轩已经提纯过数千颗废丹,熟能生巧,而且随着他功力的提高,经脉比以前更加强壮,承受力更强,所以这个过程再也没有了那种生涩的感觉。

很快,光点顺着经脉移动到了右手的手腕,林轩将神识集中起来,全部作用在丹药上。顿时,奇妙的情况发生了,洗髓丹在脑海中被放大了数倍,林轩的神识轻易就进入了丹药内部,将精华和杂质部分看得一清二楚。

小心控制着光点的流速,让它们按顺序缓缓地进入到丹药之中,然后提纯开始了。在雪白的丹药内部,分布着一些黑色的东西,这些就是影响药效的杂质,所谓提纯,就是将它们弄出去。

这个过程十分艰难,因为这些杂质都与精华部分纠缠得十分紧密。不过蓝色光点却能够做到,当它流动遇到白色的精华时,就直接毫无阻隔地穿过去;遇到黑色的杂质,则将它们向外推一定的距离。

但与将废丹提纯成下品时不同,那时的杂质是粉末状固体,所以光点推动起来容易一些。可现在这些杂质却是浓稠的、半液态的东西,光点想要将它们与精华分离十分吃力。

同样体积大小的杂质,以前只需要一个光点就可以推动,现在则至少需要三个光点,甚至五个。上次提纯失败就是因为林轩体内的蓝色星海能量不够,那么现在星海的体积能否支持到提纯结束呢?

要知道,提纯过程是不能中断的,也就是说不能今天提纯一半,明天再接着来,要么一次成功,要么彻底报废。要知道在这种情况下报废的丹药,林轩也没有办法再次提纯,真正变成了垃圾。

不过,在尝试之前,林轩也考虑过,以现在星海的能量,成功的几率还是有七成以上的,但这指的是没有意外的情况。

到目前为止,林轩已经提纯了许多下品丹,但中品丹才仅仅第二次尝试,第一次还以失败告终。所以会不会出现突发情况,他也不敢肯定。

即使出现了这种情况也没有什么大不了的。反正自己的下品洗髓丹足够多,就算提纯失败也不可惜,继续总结经验再试验就行了。慢慢总会成功的,就像自己将废丹提纯成下品丹时,开始还是不很生涩,成功率也低,现在则觉得轻松惬意。这是一个熟悉掌握的过程。

有了这样的心理准备,林轩不怕失败,放心大胆地进行提纯。

一开始还算顺利,虽然推动半液态的杂质需要消耗更多的光点能量,但以现在星海的体积应该够用。

然而当杂质逐渐与精华部分分离,并且被光点推动到丹药边缘时,却怎么也动不了,也就是说无法排出体外。

怎么会这样呢?

以前提纯下品丹的时候从来没有遇到这种情况。林轩皱了皱眉,但并不慌张,着急解决不了问题,遇见状况就要冷静分析。

他将神识集中起来,查看丹药的边缘,只见与丹药内部不同,丹药的边缘部分似乎也是半液态。

“原来如此。”林轩一边维持着蓝光流动,一边开始分析。将废丹提纯成下品丹时杂质是粉末状固体,所以穿出去要容易一些;而提纯成中品丹时,杂质是半液态,粘性较大,所以不容易排出体外。

应该是这样!
