Qin Feng continued refining pills. The raw materials delivered by the two guards this time were enough for him to be busy for a while.
He would not have to worry about a lack of refining materials for some time.
Thus, Qin Feng continued to refine pills, and continued to fail. Every time he placed the raw materials into the alchemy furnace, he would produce a batch of useless dregs, unable to form a single pill.
But with each failure, his pill refining skills became more mature.
Although he was not yet able to refine a Battle Power Pill, Qin Feng believed that he would succeed before long.
During this time, he was not just refining pills; he was also constantly summoning Red Alert soldiers to his side.
Qin Feng trained these Red Alert soldiers according to the methods in the Body Tempering Technique.
Qin Feng was now multitasking. He was refining pills, continuously farming money in the Red Alert domain, and transferring Red Alert soldiers from the Red Alert domain to his side.
In this manner, days passed. After 7 days, Qin Feng finally refined a Battle Power Pill. However, the quality of this Battle Power Pill was very low, and the medicinal effect contained within was only 1/10 of an ordinary Battle Power Pill. This meant that consuming his Battle Power Pill would only increase his combat power by a small amount, while the raw materials he wasted were an astronomical figure.
This trade was truly not cost-effective, but Qin Feng was very happy. In this world, he could obtain as many raw materials as he wanted, and every increase in his pill refining skill was an increase in his own strength. Although this Battle Power Pill only increased his combat power by a little, it brought infinite possibilities.
Qin Feng directly consumed the low-potency Battle Power Pill, and then immersed himself in his attribute panel.
[Name]: Qin Feng
[Level]: 166 (166/9999)
[Reputation]: 28
[Strength]: 15800
[Agility]: 22900
[Constitution]: 14300
[Spirit]: 14000
[Talent]: SSS-rank "Red Alert Domain"
[Skills]: None
[Combat Power]: 1601
[Gold]: 606000
Seeing that his combat power had increased by 1 point, he was very happy. He had finally succeeded.
His combat power was now 1601, but when he used the Peerless Good Sword and Sword Control Technique, his combat power could double.
Qin Feng was in a good mood. He looked at the Red Alert soldiers training in the wilderness.
These were the Red Alert soldiers he had continuously transported over the past few days. There were already over 10,000 of them, more than the number of Red Alert troops he had left in that world. This was already the limit of what his current strength could manage.
If the number of Red Alert soldiers increased further, his spiritual power consumption would be very rapid, and fatigue would quickly set in. With the current number, he could still manage.
When he fully focused on controlling these over 10,000 Red Alert soldiers, he could maintain it for 6 hours. After this period, his spiritual power would significantly decrease, leading to severe fatigue. However, he could always purchase energy-replenishing items from the shop to extend this time. But the items could only replenish half of his energy. When he was controlling these Red Alert soldiers, he could maintain it for a maximum of 12 hours. Even with more medicine, he could not extend this time further!
His body's load had a limit; it could not be infinitely increased with medicine.
Currently, his Red Alert army had reached 15,000 people. There were 10,000 in this world and 5,000 in that world. This was a massive number, one that he found somewhat difficult to control.
Summoning such a large number of troops without any battles was not a wise choice, as they were constantly consuming his spiritual power. However, Qin Feng did not think so. He had other plans. This number would not always remain at its current level; this number would decrease because the Body Tempering Technique was a very dangerous cultivation method with no room for survival.
It would be good if half of these 10,000 Red Alert soldiers practicing the Body Tempering Technique survived.
To prevent the large number of troops from affecting his body, Qin Feng decided to have these Red Alert armies enter the next stage of cultivation immediately.
The 10,000 Red Alert soldiers were divided into training groups of two.
Qin Feng instructed these Red Alert soldiers to attack each other according to the cultivation methods in the Body Tempering Technique. In each group, one Red Alert soldier would use their fists to attack the vital points and important acupoints on the other Red Alert soldier's body!
If the attacked Red Alert soldier did not die, they would retaliate in turn, and so on.
This act of self-harm was another way to stimulate the body's potential, making their bodies tougher and fully stimulating their physical limits.
When the fist and foot attacks were completed, Qin Feng would purchase blunt weapons like iron rods and swords, as well as sharp weapons from the shop, for these Red Alert soldiers to use and train their bodies.
If outsiders saw such a scene, they would be greatly shocked, because such behavior was clearly self-mutilation. However, Qin Feng understood very well that this was a superb cultivation method within the Body Tempering Technique. While it looked like self-harm, each attack was directed at important acupoints and sensitive areas of the body; it was not a random attack.
This seemingly self-harming behavior could greatly increase the strength of his Red Alert army, but the casualties also increased significantly.
Qin Feng controlled his Red Alert armies for an hour of training. Already, 2,000 people had died, but the remaining 8,000 people had their combat power increased by three points.
Although it was negligible compared to his overall combat power of 3,000, the increase of 3 points for each of the 8,000 people added up to a 24,000 combat power increase. His strength had increased by 24,000 in just one hour, which was a terrifying number.
If this combat power could be concentrated in one person, that person would possess the ability to slaughter gods and destroy Buddhas.
Qin Feng believed that as time passed and the Body Tempering Technique successfully transformed his Red Alert soldiers, he would eventually possess a terrifyingly powerful and numerous elite army.
In this world, he could act with impunity. Even in that crisis-ridden planet, he could walk with his head held high.
Qin Feng greatly anticipated this day. However, at the same time, he knew that building an elite army was not something that could be achieved overnight. The Body Tempering Technique became more difficult to cultivate as it progressed, and the increase in strength would become very slow. It was unlike his cultivation of the cultivation methods within the Wordless Heavenly Book, where he could quickly improve his strength and combat power by consuming some pills that increased power.
The Body Tempering Technique was different. They needed to temper their bodies through actual practice. There was no shortcut in this cultivation method. Red Alert soldiers had no souls; they acted entirely according to their will and could not cultivate the cultivation methods of the Wordless Heavenly Book because they could not sense the opportunities between heaven and earth or the mysteries of the universe.
They could only use the most cumbersome method of cultivation, forging their bodies into an indestructible golden body that could traverse the other shore and achieve the body of an immortal.
Another purpose of Qin Feng's diligent study of pill refining was to be able to refine high-grade Body Tempering Pills for the soldiers of his Red Alert army.
This would allow their cultivation progress to be faster.
