Chapter 174: Refining the Mysterious Weaving Pill
c_t;No alchemist can guarantee that there will not be a single failure in his alchemy career. Download the full episode at: .
In Luo Xiu's memory as a ninth-level imperial alchemist, there are nearly tens of thousands of failures, especially when he first started learning to make alchemy. Every success was actually gained by accumulating experience from failures.
Although he failed once, Luo Xiu's expression did not change at all. Moreover, because he failed this time and summed up the reasons, he became more skilled in making alchemy the second time.
First, he re-analyzed the combination of spiritual medicines, and the steps of alchemy began to proceed in an orderly manner. Everything became smoother than before.
The green cauldron was suspended and rotating in the air, and the reddish-brown swallowing spirit fire was rolling in the furnace, constantly condensing. Under the burning of the spirit fire, visible space waves spread around the cauldron.
Luo Xiu's consciousness was closely watching the situation in the cauldron. A emerald green pill had already taken shape. As long as the medicinal power was completely condensed and solidified, the pill could be taken out of the furnace.
At the same time, a strong medicinal fragrance spread from the cauldron, which was a sign that the pill was about to succeed.
Then, at the moment when the pill was about to take shape, two green auras fell on the prototype of the pill, turning into two dragon patterns, which made the speed of the pill forming suddenly increase a lot.
"It's done!"
At the moment when the emerald green pill solidified, a vast energy wave spread from the cauldron, shaking the fifth-level formation that Luo Xiu had arranged around it.
This violent wave lasted for a long time before it gradually calmed down, and Luo Xiu took this opportunity to reach out and grab it, opened the lid, and pinched the emerald green sixth-grade Xuanzhi Pill between two fingers.
Looking at the Xuanzhi Pill in his hand, Luo Xiu finally showed a satisfied smile on his face. Since the Xuanzhi Pill can be refined, it means that he can also refine the Yinyang Soul Pill of the same sixth grade.
Because it is a pill refining across two levels, the quality of the pill cannot reach the purity without impurities. Counting the 10% increase in the quality of the pill by the Shuanglong Shengtian Ding, this pill is only an 80% pill.
However, as far as Luo Xiu knows, there are not many people in Tianwu Country who can refine 80% pills, and there are almost no people who can refine 90% pills. It is enough to use this Xuanzhi Pill to make a deal.
Then Luo Xiu took a jade bottle, put the Xuanzhi Pill in it, and put it in the storage ring.
The Shuanglong Shengtian Ding also spun and shrunk under the control of the true essence, and directly sank into the body, suspended in the Dantian Qi Sea.
This cauldron was made by a foundry master in ancient times. It is a top-grade magic weapon that can be stored in the body for warming. In addition to the effect of refining pills, it also has the ability to attack the enemy.
Even in today's world, there are many alchemists who can control the cauldron to fight against the enemy. In addition to the alchemist's magical fire control skills, the combat effectiveness is also extremely strong among the martial artists of the same level.
Then, Luo Xiu removed the formation and put away the small universal flag.
The golden fire spirit lion ran over and crawled in front of him, shaking its tail, showing a flattering look.
And Long Ming, this guy, still looked arrogant. He glared at the golden fire spirit lion with contempt, and his figure slowly disappeared, merging with the nearby space, and turned a blind eye.
Luo Xiu reached out and patted the golden fire spirit lion's head, then jumped up and landed on his back.
Using his spiritual sense to guide the direction, letting the Golden Fire Spirit Lion carry him on his way, Luo Xiu took out the sound transmission box and sent a message to the ancestor of the Xu family.
Half a month later, Luo Xiu returned to Tianwu City from the northern wilderness.
Long Ming followed quietly in the space as always, and the Golden Fire Spirit Lion changed into the size of a wolfhound and followed him.
Tamed monsters help martial artists fight or serve as mounts, which is a very common thing in the world of martial artists.
In the Hunter Guild, the ancestor of the Xu family came in person to meet Luo Xiu.
This is a quiet secret room. When Luo Xiu took out a "jade" bottle and placed it on the table, even though the ancestor of the Xu family had lived for hundreds of years, his body was slightly stiff and his eyes were extremely solemn.
"My friend, this is..." Xu Jingnian asked impatiently.
"Xuanzhi Dan is exactly what you need." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "After Master made it, I rushed over from afar and brought the elixir to you."
Xu Jingnian grabbed the jade bottle and opened it carefully. He stared at the green elixir quietly placed in the bottle. His old face showed ecstasy and excitement.
At the beginning, entrusting the mysterious master behind Luo Xiu to make the elixir was a gamble. If he won, he could restore his cultivation and save the Xu family. If he lost, within ten years, the entire Xu family would be eaten up by the Fan family and removed from the top ten families.
Fortunately, he made the right bet and got the Xuanzhi Dan. Then he had a great chance to restore his martial king level cultivation.
Looking at the old ancestor of the Xu family who was staring at the pill in the bottle with excitement on his face, Luo Xiu smiled gently and said, "The pill has been handed over to you, senior. The remaining half of the reward..."
In fact, Luo Xiu also thought about whether the ancestor of the Xu family would turn against him after getting the pill. After all, even if it was the remaining half of the reward, each spiritual medicine was priceless and could cause great damage to the Xu family.
Xu Jingnian was a martial king-level warrior. Because his dantian was damaged and his cultivation level dropped, he would definitely be able to sweep and crush most of the martial kings. If the other party really turned against him, Luo Xiu would not be his opponent. At most, he could protect himself.
Of course, Luo Xiu was not afraid that the other party would really turn against him. There was a mark left by him in the Xuanzhi Pill. With just a thought, the pill would decompose instantly and turn into powder and slag.
If it were not for his insufficient cultivation, Luo Xiu would even do some tricks in the pill, but his cultivation was too low after all. When he crossed two levels to refine the Xuanzhi Pill, he went all out and had no time or opportunity to leave a hidden hand in the pill.
The hidden hand is almost an unwritten rule among alchemists, array masters, and casting masters.
It is mainly to prevent the things they refine from falling into the hands of their enemies. There are even many masters who are proud of breaking other people's hidden hands.
Xu Jingnian was able to create such a large martial arts family. He is not a man who does not keep his word. He has the mind and courage of a martial arts master.
Without saying a word, he took out a storage ring and put it on the table, smiling: "This is the remaining half of the reward."
"Senior, don't you want to verify the authenticity of the pill first?" The other party's generous attitude surprised Luo Xiu. It seems that he is a little too cautious?
Xu Jingnian laughed and said, "If it were someone else, I would naturally be worried and suspicious, but I have taught such an outstanding genius like you, so I am not living in vain. My intuition tells me that there is nothing wrong with this pill."
As he spoke, Xu Jingnian took out the Xuanzhi Pill and said, "Can I borrow this Hunter Guild to heal my wounds?"
Luo Xiu was not surprised that Xu Jingnian chose to take the pill here to heal his wounds, because the safest place in the world is the Hunter Guild, even safer than his Xu family's mansion.
"Senior, you can rest assured to heal here, and no one will come to disturb you." Luo Xiu said with a smile.
Xu Jingnian was not particular about details. He raised his hand and put the Xuanzhi Pill into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Please help me protect the law."
After the voice fell, Xu Jingnian closed his eyes and began to enter the state of cultivation.
To establish a martial arts family, who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted, Xu Jingnian, who has lived for hundreds of years, is naturally much more experienced than Luo Xiu, who is a young man.
His move has invisibly won Luo Xiu's trust, because trust is mutual. The other party is so open-minded and courageous that he does not shy away from healing himself, which makes Luo Xiu admire him very much.
After all, the longer you live, the more cautious you are. There are not many people like Xu Jingnian.
After a while, Xu Jingnian's body was shrouded in a layer of brilliant light. The healing process lasted for more than an hour. A vast and unpredictable wave of true essence spread from Xu Jingnian's body.
In the past, most of his cultivation was used to suppress the injury of Dantian. As the injury of Dantian recovered and healed, the majestic power dormant in his body burst out fiercely like a flood.
Energy ripples shattered the tables and chairs in the room into dust, and this energy wave has a tendency to continue to spread. If it is not controlled, the room will be destroyed and cause a huge commotion.
Luo Xiu immediately took out the small universal flag and arranged several defensive formations in the room to control the spread of energy ripples.
After a long time, Xu Jingnian's closed eyes slowly opened, and two rays of light like substance flew out, piercing the space with two dark traces.
This is the power of a martial king-level strongman. A glance can penetrate the space!
And Luo Xiu's current strength is comparable to that of an ordinary martial king. At most, he can only distort the space.
The gap between them seems small, but in fact it is the difference between heaven and earth.
"Haha... my cultivation has finally recovered!"
Xu Jingnian was full of vigor and he laughed loudly. His laughter shook the whole room violently, and the fifth-level defense formation set up by Luo Xiu was shaking continuously, as if it was about to break and annihilate.
This made Luo Xiu frown. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Jingnian had already restrained his momentum. He was calm and composed, like an ordinary old man without any martial arts aura.
"Haha, I'm sorry. I can't help myself after recovering from my injuries." Xu Jingnian said apologetically.
"I can understand your feelings, senior." Luo Xiu also responded with a smile, and waved his hand to put away the small Wanxiang flag.
Luo Xiu's action made Xu Jingnian's eyelids jump slightly, because he noticed that there was a fifth-level defense formation set up here before. Obviously, this formation was set up by Luo Xiu.
"He is not a fourth-level formation master, but a fifth-level formation master?" Xu Jingnian had to re-evaluate the black-robed boy in front of him. The more he met him, the more he could feel the mystery of this boy.
Luo Xiu was already so mysterious, so the master behind him would be even more unfathomable.
"My friend is not only the best in his generation in terms of cultivation, but also proficient in alchemy and formations. It is hard for me to imagine what realm the master has reached to teach a disciple like you." Xu Jingnian asked without leaving a trace.
"Thank you for your praise, senior. The master is at a very high level. I have only learned a little bit in these years." Luo Xiu said with a smile.
Xu Jingnian's mouth twitched twice. He has become a fourth-level alchemist and a fifth-level formation master with only a little bit of knowledge. He has reached the eighth level of spiritual cultivation at the age of seventeen?
This made Xu Jingnian almost conclude that the mysterious master behind Luo Xiu must have surpassed the level of Wu Jun. Perhaps he is a powerful martial saint, martial master, or even the legendary... martial emperor?
Thinking of this, Xu Jingnian did not continue to inquire about the master behind Luo Xiu, because many powerful people in the secluded world have strange tempers. If they violated some taboos, they would only cause trouble for themselves because of curiosity.
"In addition to the reward for the elixir, I also promised that after I recover from my injuries, I will owe you a favor. As long as it is within my ability, you only need to say a word, and I will definitely not refuse." Xu Jingnian said politely.
"Thank you, senior." Luo Xiu smiled.
