AST 1717 - Constitution Nurturing Pill Refined From The Desolate Beast Pellet

Qing Shui stopped thinking after a while. He quickly came up with the plan: Just go with the flow!

Qing Shui looked at the ingredients that came from the Hell Tigon. They had been put aside for some time, based on the time in Realm of Violet Jade Immortal.

Qing Shui gazed at the enormous Desolate Beast Pellet. The Hell Tigon was about 500 meters big, whereas the Desolate Beast Pellet was as big as half a human’s size. It was rather small when compared to the body of a Hell Tigon. Still, it was gigantic for a Desolate Beast Pellet.

Qing Shui wanted to refine medicine immediately. He wanted to refine strengthened Constitution Nurturing Pill. At the moment, he and his family needed it. He, himself, wasn’t in dire need of but the Mistresses needed it. With the aid of the Constitution Nurturing Pill, they could take a great step forward.

Qing Shui knew how to refine the Constitution Nurturing Pill. He had already refined three types of it to date. Using different grades of ingredients, the effects would be different as well.

The Realm of Violet Jade Immortal had adequate landscape as of now. Enough to refine the Constitution Nurturing Pill. Most essentially, Qing Shui had ample supply of ingredients of excellent quality at the moment. He even had the Spring of Life and water immersed by the Buddha Stone.

Qing Shui spent a day to prepare the ingredients, including those which boosted the therapeutic effect and increased the success rate. He realized the large field of ingredients before him as he was done preparing.

It was dull throughout the refinement. Yet, it was full of anticipation and excitement. It had been a while since Qing Shui last refined a new medicine. Still, he would refine pellets at times despite the lessen frequency.

His alchemy experience had been increasing, albeit slowly. Qing Shui didn't bother about the gradual creep in the experience anymore. It was pointless to worry.

After seven days, Qing Shui had refined the first furnace. He had succeeded, though only two of them were created. Qing Shui stared blankly at the black pearl-like Constitution Nurturing Pill. It was easier for others to think of this as poison!

Constitution Nurturing Pill: Consolidation and Cultivation, strengthens 5% of existing strength. Each pill boosts 1% strength, enabling breakthrough of existing hindrance on the first usage, excluding barriers in between grades (eg. barrier of the breakthrough from False Gods to Divines). Each human or demonic beast can only take ten pills. Not to be taken excessively by any means. No effects if taken excessively. Recommended frequency: One pill per month.

Qing Shui smiled looking at the newly produced Constitution Nurturing Pill, it was absolutely great. Strengthening 5% of existing strength, that equaled consolidation of 5% strength. Ten pills would be 50%. By consolidating 50% of the foundation, one could stabilize their strength by half. Besides, that could mean a massive boost in strength from 1% cultivation. Hence, ten pills made more than 10%. After all, the sixth pill was 1% of the strength after taking the previous five pills.

Soon after, Qing Shui refined the pills again. The second time, three pills were produced with the same amount of ingredients. Four pills were produced for the third time. Eventually, it reached a plateau of five pills.

Five pills could be the maximum for each refinement, or it could be the limit of Qing Shui’s current strength. Regardless, Qing Shui was delighted. Although he met some troubles with Wavemoon Cavern this time, the reward was great.

Qing Shui had used a lot of ingredients from the Hell Tigon for this refinement, including the tiger bones, the tiger guts, and the tiger heart.

……

……

Two months went by in a flash. It remained peaceful and quiet. Qing Shui didn’t leave Sunset Sea King Palace even for once. Qing Xiu was three months old by now. He had learned to smile and spent less time sleeping.

Yiye Jiange focused her mind on this little kid these days. Qing Shui liked watching Yiye Jiange play with the little one. The warmth and beauty were beyond description.

As Qing Shui watched over warmly at the scene, he felt proud deep inside. This was his family!

Within two months, Qing Shui also went through huge changes. After all, the time was much longer in the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal than in the real world. Qing Shui was getting more familiar with the Nine Yang Dragon Soul and Dragon Claw. The realm was getting higher.

Yet, it was still a small success stage, just a much stronger small success stage compared to two months ago. It could be considered a massive increment.

There wasn’t much increment in strength alone, but the actual combating ability was very much higher. The surviving skill, as well as the technique damage, was much greater.

Qing Shui was looking forward to achieving large success stage or Great Perfection Stage. By then, his power would be more formidable and the strength would increase tremendously. Also, he could learn more techniques and battle skills in Dragon Form at the Great Perfection Stage.

Within these two months, the Mistresses learned formation with Qing Shui for four hours daily. Apart from that, they had also learned the Nine Palace Steps, the essence of it was to combine their motions.

Yiye Jiange had mastered the Nine Palace Steps basically but she never really practiced it. Qing Shui spent most of the time becoming her training partner, allowing her to break out with Nine Palace Steps, to chase after himself or to block out. Qing Shui also fought with Yiye Jiange using his own strength.

Qing Shui had used up the Constitution Nurturing Pills within two months. He felt his strength was more condensed than before. He used to think his strength was stable enough that he was complacent to stop its consolidation.

Because of this, he realized his narrowed mind and ignorance. Feeling the current condensation of strength, he noticed the frailty and weakness of his previous strength. There was no end to learning in the martial world.

After using ten pills, Qing Shui’s raw strength had risen from 150,000 Yang to 200,000 Yang. It was more than enough, much more than the normal increment of 20,000 Yang.

Nevertheless, Qing Shui came to a glitch, which was to break through the current hindrance. Qing Shui had probably reached the bottleneck and breached through it. Now, he felt the bottleneck was smaller.

It wasn’t relatively small considering he was different. Qing Shui was satisfied with the great boost in strength. Essentially, the explosive strength had increased immensely. It was similar to the pure strength. It was just that one impacted via melody acceleration, the other impacted via double melody acceleration. Speed indicated strength and formidable power.

Qing Shui’s body had formidable power. This explosive strength could be applied thoroughly and without restraint. Qing Shui was indeed pleased. Relatively, the Mistresses had only consumed two pills. Still, the first usage enabled breakthrough of a hindrance. Hence, their strengths improved remarkably and consolidated immensely. With the aid of Qing Shui, their strengths advanced swiftly.

Qing Shui was more contented with his demonic beasts in comparison to their strengths. The energy contained in the Core of Ancient Desolate Beast had a greater apparent effect on the demonic beasts.
