Reincarnated into World of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

He first started to refine the Energy Recovery Liquid so he placed wood below the cauldron to heat it up along with the tiny sparkle of his Pill Flame looking at which initially, Long Chen fell embarrassed at himself but focused on bugger picture. In addition he used his precious Spiritual Strength just in order to increase the flame, treating it like firewood. Any alchemist would definitely rage and curse at him for doing so. Even if someone was a reckless and frivolous spender, no one would actually spend it like this.

Placing the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron, he refined them one by one. However he had used his Pill Flame unlike in original story because he wanted to train his pill flame to be stronger from begining to be stronger and wanted to be more experienced in handling it.

When all the medicinal ingredients had been refined he placed them into a jug of water to form Energy Recovery Liquid, and after resting for a short period of time, Long Chen took a deep breath and prepared himself to officially begin refining the FengFu Star Pill.

Long Chen then placed the ingredients fir Fengfu Star Pill one by one:

1. Azure Grass

2. Moon Dew

3. Phoenix Feather Fern

4. Dragon Root

5. Celestial Leaf

6. Turtle Shell Powder

7. Golden Flower Pollen

8. Silver Berry

9. Vermillion Fruit

10. Sky Leaf

11. Shadow Flower

12. Clear Spring Water

13. Ten-Year Ginseng

14. Jade Leaf Extract

15. Bamboo Sap

16. Tiger Grass Powder

17. Orchid Root

18. Storm Vine

19. Tortoise Shell Dust

20. Flame Shard

21. Star Blossom Petal

22. Lunar Mushroom

23. Spirit Vine

24. Dusk Petal

25. Sun Dew

26. Mystic Herb

27. Twilight Berry

28. Wind Grass

29. Earth Moss

30. Fire Root

Then he placed the cauldron and arranged the medicinal ingredients in batch to refine pills while using wood as a firewood along with his spiritual strength which was far more stronger than a normal pill refiner/cultivator.

According to his memory, Pill Cultivator ranks were Pill Apprentice, Pill Adept, Pill Master, Pill King, Pill Emperor, Pill Ancestor, Pill Venerate, Pill Saint, and Pill God.

And with the information fromm memory of the Pill God that he has, he got to know his spiritual strength was equal to that of a Pill Adept while purity equivalent to that of a Pill Master which is why he was far more confident as those memory and techniques of refinement, though bizzare and unbelievably wrong way to other Pill Cultivators, was the most tested and refined technique. 

Refining pills was not the same as simply decocting medicine. Every single medicinal herb's essence had to be extracted while simultaneously removing the impurities, forming a powder.

However, the flame in Long Chen's hand was far too low in quality, and the refined powder still retained many impurities to be ideal. Still, this was the only method that he had.

First of all, Long Chen's cultivation base was insufficient, and thus he didn't have the necessary strength to sustain the Pill Flame, making its strength weak.

Second of all, currently, Long Chen didn't have the opportunity or capability to subdue a different flame, so he could only settle for what he had.

But wanting to train in alchemy methods required not only a strong Pill Flame, but also a forceful spiritual energy, and the most important requirement was exceedingly powerful Spiritual Strength.

The other two requirements were not that difficult. As for the Pill Flame, as long as you obtained all the proper preparations, you could seize a flame-type Magical Beast and gradually tame it into a house pet. Drawing on the Magical Beast's flame, you could cultivate your own flame to match its formidable power.

Over ninety-nine percent of capable alchemists used Beast Flames. Only a few people who possessed extremely ancient inheritances of powerful strength could control an extremely mysterious and mystical Spirit Flame found within heaven and earth.

Spirit Flames were flames that possessed their own soul, and according to Long Chen's memories, he had previously controlled an extremely formidable heaven and earth Spirit Flame.

But no matter how formidable it was in the past, right now, he could only use this trash flame for his pill refining. After all, the things in his memories were not things he could take out.

After resting enough, Long Chen took a deep breath. He placed a candle in his hand, and a yellow flame appeared.

"Not bad, after going through the refinements, the flame's strength has increased by a slight amount. Whatever, it's better than nothing, I guess."

After consecutively refining the essences of seven different medicines, he threw them into the furnace. His Spiritual Strength erupted, and the flame in Long Chen's hand suddenly fluctuated. Compared to before, it was now several times stronger.

Spiritual Strength was the foundation of any pill refinement. At the time of refining, a large amount of Spiritual Strength was needed to control the temperature. If even a slight deviation occurred, it would waste all your previous efforts, and you would end up refining a pile of pill ashes. And if the medicinal pill had a very large medicinal strength, you might even cause a furnace explosion.

Most alchemists wouldn't start using their Spiritual Strength right at the beginning of the refinement. They would only use it towards the latter stages when the pill was about to take form in order to carefully control the flame's strength.

After all, that was the critical time in the formation of the pill. At that time, the flame's temperature had to constantly change, sometimes high and sometimes low, and doing so required a large consumption of Spiritual Strength.

If, at that time, the alchemist's Spiritual Strength was already exhausted, then the furnace of pills could basically be considered scrapped. However, Long Chen actually started using his Spiritual Strength right at the beginning of the refinement.

The Fengfu Pill was a first-tier medicinal pill, and generally, only Pill Cultivators who had reached the Pill Apprentice stage could refine a first-tier medicinal pill.

Long Chen's current memories also included those of a Pill God, who was wife of Nine Star God his previous 1st-incarnation and he himself being merger of Nine Star God's 1000th Reincarnation and Shen Long's Reincarnation. When Long Chen had awoken, his Spiritual Strength had become abnormally strong compared to his previous self; therefore, Long Chen was qualified to use his Spiritual Strength in such a manner.

The pill furnace in front of Long Chen faintly trembled, emitting a slight buzzing noise.

"Hehe, by increasing the power of the flame, the speed has increased quite a bit."

He hastily threw three more medicinal ingredients into the furnace; however, at this moment, Long Chen's forehead was already perspiring.

Hurriedly taking out a straw, he placed one end into the medicine jar, which was filled with Energy Recovery Liquid, and quickly drank a mouthful.

When the Energy Recovery Liquid entered his stomach, the pores all over his body opened and began to crazily absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. His originally nearly exhausted spiritual energy rapidly recovered.

This was something that Long Chen had prepared earlier. Without it, there was no way for him to refine the FengFu Pill. At his current level, it would be a joke if he could actually refine a pill on his own without some kind of assistance.

With the straw in his mouth, every now and then he would draw in another mouthful of Energy Recovery Liquid to replenish his body's spiritual energy.

With Long Chen's spiritual energy being replenished, his Spiritual Strength could show off how extremely powerful it was. It was only two days later that Long Chen started to feel a bit exhausted. That was a sign that his Spiritual Strength had been largely used up.

But at this time, the medicinal ingredients had already been absorbed into the medicinal cauldron, so all that was left was finishing it up. The medicinal aroma was also starting to fill the air.

Although Long Chen's impression of a first-tier medicinal pill was that it was so easy to refine it could be done with his eyes closed, the current him was not similar to Pill God in those memories as he was not only was he a boy but also some with proper yet ideas and thoughts from past life. His destiny had already been completely changed, and saying that he wasn't nervous would be a lie.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the pill furnace's interior started to pulse, emitting a burst of buzzing noises. The energy within the pill furnace also started to become berserk.

Long Chen didn't panic in the slightest; on the contrary, he even started to smile. This was the indication of the pill's formation, and also the most critical time of the refinement.

His Spiritual Strength was completely activated with not even a trace held in reserve. The flame in his hand suddenly exploded out, and an incorporeal strength tightly sealed the entire pill furnace. This technique was called 'Heaven Seal Earth Lock' and was something that he had come up with from his memories. It was used to prevent pill explosions and thus furnace explosions.

Moreover, this technique was very practical and could in the shortest period seal the medicinal energy within the pill furnace, not letting too much leak out.

Normal alchemists would do this at the last step because when the medicinal pill went berserk, it was possible to stabilize it by taking a more gentle action.

Although doing so would decrease the danger by a lot, a large amount of the medicinal essence would be lost, and therefore the medicinal pill's quality would be just ordinary.

Bang!

Following the full suppression of Long Chen's Spiritual Strength, the pill furnace emitted a muffled noise, and then everything turned silent.

The pill furnace had already turned tranquil. Long Chen couldn't help but gasp for breath. His whole body was drenched in sweat, and he was so dizzy that he felt the sky was spinning.

When he felt a bit better, he excitedly opened up the furnace. His hand was even trembling as he picked out five extremely round pills. Holding them in his hand, a dense medicinal aroma completely filled the whole room.

"Two low-grade pills, three trash pills. Tch, saying it out loud really makes me lose enough face to die." Long Chen's face showed how excited he was, but he still sighed.

Staring blankly for a bit, he couldn't help but laugh; he had a mixture of a lifetime's worth of memories from a Pill God along with his memories of the current him. Long Chen couldn't help but sigh that, as stated in the novel, the Pill God, she was truly excessively arrogant.

Even the three trash pills in his hand were much better than the medicinal ball his mother had bought for him, especially since at least thirty percent of the medicinal essence had been sealed into the pill.

A medicinal essence that took up fifty percent of the pill would be termed low grade, and over eighty percent of all medicinal pills were only low grade.

If the medicinal essence reached sixty percent, it would be middle grade; seventy percent would make it high grade; eighty percent would make it top grade; ninety percent would make it peerless grade; and as for one hundred percent… hehe. Right now, Long Chen didn't think too much about it as it was simply too far for the current him.

Consuming one trash pill, he used his Spiritual Strength to guide the medicinal pill's energy to enter the YongQuan point on the bottom of his foot. That was the location of the first Star of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art—the position of the condensed FengFu Star.

Bang!

Long Chen's right foot shook. An intense energy came from the bottom of his foot, and the ground under it became covered in cracks.

"Excellent, I've already found the meridian channel as well as the exact position. Now I can genuinely attack it."

Long Chen faintly smiled, and he took out a low-tier FengFu Pill and directly consumed it. A pure and perfect energy erupted, and under Long Chen's pull, it went straight to the Yong Quan point on the bottom of his foot.

The Yong Quan point trembled; following the rushing medicinal energy, it was just like a dry riverbed receiving water, and it crazily convulsed.

Boom!

A booming noise reverberated, and the frightening energy filled Long Chen's whole body. A tyrannical energy exploded of its own accord, shaking the room into smoke and dust, with waves of energy surging about.
