After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 223 Cultivation in the Pill Tower

Ye Xiaobai was utterly shocked. He had been refining pills for so long, even making sixth and seventh-grade pills. Let alone this beginner-level Bigu Pill!

Back then, Ye Xiaobai had tried to refine it countless times, but he had never managed to refine a batch of 10 top-grade Bigu Pills.

Who is this young man before me? Why does he possess such exquisite alchemy skills?

Ye Xiaobai couldn't figure it out for a moment, and could only guess that these phantoms were the alchemy experience passed down by the Pill Tower.

The alchemy process flashed by, but fortunately, Ye Xiaobai's divine sense was strong enough that he could watch the boy's alchemy process and then review it in his mind. Sure enough, he gained a lot.

Time was of the essence, so after digesting the alchemy experience here, Ye Xiaobai immediately set off to find new experience.

After some time, Ye Xiaobai discovered that he could find these alchemy experiences even using only his divine sense. Perhaps this was the correct way the Pill Tower's designers originally intended for cultivators to find alchemy experiences.

Ye Xiaobai is just an anomaly; he discovered the subtle scent and also found the location of the alchemy experience.

However, inside the Pill Tower, divine sense is restricted, but the sense of smell is not. In this way, Ye Xiaobai can use the scent to find the location of more pill refining afterimages, thereby gaining more pill refining experience.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, Ye Xiaobai found the locations of more than a dozen alchemy afterimages.

After observing others refine pills, Ye Xiaobai would carefully reflect on the experience and summarize it. Gradually, he could clearly feel that his own pill refining skills were also slowly improving.

While searching for the remnants of alchemy within the tower, Ye Xiaobai was also fortunate enough to find the teleportation array to the next level.

Ye Xiaobai felt he had gained enough insight from the first level, so he prepared to head to the second level.

At the entrance to the second floor, there is a spiral gray staircase leading upwards. At the entrance to the staircase, there is a white circular array, about two meters in diameter.

Ye Xiaobai was thinking, "Is there no restriction on this second level? Then I can just go straight up?"

Ye Xiaobai had heard before that the higher up the Pill Tower it was, the more difficult it became. It couldn't be that he could reach the second level so easily!

Ye Xiaobai controlled his divine sense to enter the formation, and sure enough, there was a world of wonders inside.

Before them appeared a bright space, as if they were high in the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Not far away, there was a pill furnace, a few materials, and nothing else.

It's obvious that the ability to refine elixirs needs to be tested.

Ye Xiaobai naturally checked the materials directly; they were all commonly used materials for refining first-tier pills.

With all the materials prepared, Ye Xiaobai immediately began refining the first-tier pill, the Bigu Pill.

Having previously observed the alchemy illusion within the pills, refining first-tier pills like the Bigu Pill was extremely easy for Ye Xiaobai.

A short while later, Ye Xiaobai finished refining the Bigu Pills, opened the furnace, and found nine top-grade Bigu Pills.

Ye Xiaobai was also slightly surprised, as this was the best batch of Bigu Pills he had ever refined.

As the alchemy furnace was opened, the quality of the pills was recognized by the Pill Tower. The pills transformed into a yellow beam of light and surged into Ye Xiaobai's brain.

Ye Xiaobai immediately felt his divine sense become even stronger.

So this is the secret to enhancing divine sense within the Pill Tower.

As the yellow beam of light completely entered Ye Xiaobai's mind, Ye Xiaobai arrived at the second level of space in the blink of an eye.

The second floor was no longer a gray space, but instead became a fiery red space.

The fire elemental power here is extremely strong. If it weren't for the lack of time, Ye Xiaobai would have liked to cultivate here.

My cultivation level will definitely improve significantly.

However, considering that there were still many alchemy inheritances on the Pill Tower, Ye Xiaobai could only choose to first search for the alchemy illusions on this level.

The old method still applies: trace the scent and see if there are any unusual medicinal smells.

Sure enough, a short while later, Ye Xiaobai detected a scent similar to Qi Gathering Powder. Following the direction of the scent, Ye Xiaobai quickly found the location of the second alchemy inheritance.

Before them appeared a crimson wall, about ten feet wide and three feet high.

Extending my divine sense, I noticed a difference from the first level. Here, the walls were sealed with a layer of divine sense, indicating that the second level was beginning to test the strength of the alchemist's divine sense.

Ye Xiaobai directly increased the intensity of his divine sense and easily broke through the restriction. After all, this was only the second level, and the restriction's strength shouldn't be that formidable yet.

As Ye Xiaobai probed the wall with his divine sense, sure enough, in the same familiar cave, a young man was refining Qi Gathering Powder.

The control of heat, technique, and handling of spiritual herbs undoubtedly demonstrate the skill level of a top-tier alchemist.

Watching these alchemy masters refine pills naturally benefited Ye Xiaobai greatly.

In the blink of an eye, the young man had finished refining the Qi Gathering Powder. Without any suspense, it was another ten top-grade Qi Gathering Powders.

As the phantom of the young alchemist disappeared, Ye Xiaobai closed his eyes, savoring the experience he had just witnessed. After a moment, Ye Xiaobai opened his eyes with satisfaction and continued searching for the next place to inherit the art of alchemy.

……

Meanwhile, outside the Pill Tower, Vice President Song Changsheng looked at the Pill Tower with a meaningful gaze, silently hoping that this time there would be some promising talents who could obtain opportunities from higher levels.

The array on the side already showed that five people had reached about the fourth floor, while the remaining fifteen people were basically on the first or second floor.

"These guys who aren't alchemists are quite well-prepared; they've reached the fourth level so quickly!" an elder from the Alchemist Alliance remarked.

"That's right, after all, they've spent a lot of money, so they have to do their best to reach the upper levels for cultivation!" Song Changsheng said calmly.

"However, it turns out that the Pill Tower actually allows one to enter the next level without passing the alchemy test!" The elder standing nearby only learned this inside information today.

"That's right. You just need to carry a few top-grade pills and throw them at the entrance to the next level. That way you can enter the next level!"

"However, the required grade of top-quality pills varies for each level, a discovery made by a certain alchemist of average skill!"

"Back then, when this alchemist participated in the seventh level assessment, he needed to refine a sixth-grade top-quality pill. However, he failed to refine it in the illusion. Coincidentally, he had a sixth-grade top-quality pill in his storage bag, so he took it out and wanted to try it in the entrance formation. Unexpectedly, he directly entered the next level!"

"This secret gradually came to the attention of disciples from other sects. And the fact that there are many opportunities on the seventh floor suitable for improving one's spiritual sense is why other sects are willing to spend a lot of money to cultivate in the Pill Tower!"

"Upon entering the seventh level, one can not only gain a divine sense far surpassing that of other cultivators of the same level, but may also comprehend some alchemy techniques, thus embarking on the path of an alchemist."

"So that's how it is. If I had known, I would have cultivated diligently to secure a cultivation spot!" After hearing the vice president's explanation, the elder standing to the side suddenly felt that he could do it too.

"Hahaha! Top-grade pills aren't so easy to refine. Even a seventh-grade alchemist might not be able to refine a sixth-grade top-grade pill!" Song Changsheng said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, the elder, who had been so enthusiastic just moments before, immediately lost interest. After all, he was a sixth-grade alchemist, but he rarely even managed to refine fifth-grade top-quality pills, let alone sixth-grade top-quality pills.
