Chapter 214: Improving the ‘Blood Rage Pill’

The next day.

Song Wen came to the alchemy room early.

After receiving five sets of medicinal materials for the Qi Gathering Pill from Su Huayue, he entered the alchemy room.

He first spent several hours refining three furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills to deal with Su Huayue.

Then, he set up the "Qi Condensing and Spirit Isolating Array" and began to try to refine the improved "Blood Rage Pill".

He took out his alchemy furnace and put in various spiritual medicines one by one according to the method of refining the Blood Rage Pill recorded in Rong Jingyun's experience jade slip.

The Huangjingzhi he chose to refine the "Blood Rage Pill" were three fifty-year-old plants obtained from Su Liu, who had a mustache.

Song Wen always felt that the vitality of the many Huangjingzhi obtained from the Su family's spiritual field was a bit weird, and he did not move in vain.

After he put in the main medicine Huangjingzhi, he extracted the Huangjingzhi to get the medicine liquid. When he was merging the Huangjingzhi medicine liquid with other auxiliary medicine liquids, the furnace suddenly exploded.

A puff of black smoke suddenly rose from the furnace, filling the alchemy room.

Song Wen took out a jade bottle, collected the black smoke in the room, and took out the jade slip of experience again, and began to examine it carefully.

He understood that the reason why the furnace exploded just now was due to the conflict between the medicinal properties of Huangjingzhi and other auxiliary medicines.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to find a suitable auxiliary medicine to reconcile the medicinal properties of Huangjingzhi.

Huangjingzhi is a commonly used second-level spiritual medicine. There are five pill recipes in the jade slip of experience, all of which use Huangjingzhi.

These five pill recipes have a common feature, that is, they all have an auxiliary medicine called Tuguhua, which is obviously used to reconcile the medicinal properties of Huangjingzhi.

Coincidentally, Song Wen happened to have Tuguhua in his hand.

He opened the furnace again to try.

Song Wen chose a ratio that he thought was appropriate according to the records of the five pill recipes, and put in Huangjingzhi and Tuguhua.

After fusing the Tuguhua liquid with the Huangjingzhi liquid in advance, and then fusing it with other spiritual medicine liquids, the furnace finally did not explode again.

The next steps of refining the pill went smoothly, so smoothly that Song Wen couldn't believe it.

Until he started to condense the pill, the liquid in the pill furnace suddenly lost control, and the medicinal power quickly lost. In a blink of an eye, there was only a pool of sticky black liquid in the pill furnace, and the spiritual energy was almost dissipated.

Song Wen did not get discouraged after failing to condense the pill, but was very excited.

The failure of condensing the pill just now was due to the wrong ratio of Huangjingzhi and other auxiliary medicines. As long as the right ratio was found, the pill could be condensed successfully.

He did not try to refine the pill again. Two days had passed. Staying in the alchemy room for a long time would easily attract attention.

Putting away the pill furnace and the "Qi Condensing and Isolating Spirits Array", Song Wen turned and left the alchemy room.

When he walked to the main hall of the alchemy room and handed the Qi Condensing Pill to Su Huayue, he found that many alchemists had gathered in the main hall.

Today is the last day of the month, the day to distribute monthly salaries.

These alchemists are here to collect their monthly salaries.

Song Wen also went to collect his monthly salary.

He has been in the Su family for half a month.

Before receiving the monthly salary, he must first count the number of Qi Gathering Pills he handed in during this half month.

Song Wen handed in a total of 50 Qi Gathering Pills. According to the task volume of 80 pills per month, he did complete the task, but later Su Huayue forcibly increased the task volume by 50%, and the number of Qi Gathering Pills handed in was insufficient.

Perhaps influenced by the fact that many alchemists were leaving the Su family, Su Huayue did not deduct Song Wen's monthly salary and gave Song Wen 15 spirit stones.

After receiving the monthly salary, Song Wen walked out of the alchemy room.

When he returned to his residence, he noticed that more than half of the foreign alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman masters, and formation masters began to leave the Su family in groups of three or five after receiving the monthly salary.

In response, the Su family did not make any radical moves and let these people leave.

This made Song Wen realize again that something was wrong. The Su family's behavior was too abnormal.

That day, noon.

When Song Wen came to the dining hall, he met Qi Xiong.

In the past two days, Qi Xiong should have taken the Broken Mirror Pill and practiced in seclusion to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.

At this time, he has reached the seventh level of Qi training.

Qi Xiong was also quite surprised to see Song Wen.

"Master Yuan Dan, didn't you leave with them?"

"Deacon Su raised my monthly salary by five spirit stones, and I decided to stay in the Su family temporarily. I am almost sixty years old, and I am lucky to be able to live in the Su family. I dare not ask for too much." Song Wen replied with a lie.

In fact, he did not go to Su Huayue to resign.

As for the monthly salary increase, Su Huayue promised that all the alchemists who stayed would have their monthly salary increased by five spirit stones.

Qi Xiong nodded in agreement.

"The Su family is an old Jindan family that dominates one side. It is powerful and has a deep foundation. Except for those few righteous sects, who dares to provoke them easily? Duan Jie and others are just worrying too much and are short-sighted."

"It is the right thing for the two of us to choose to stay in the Su family. Duan Jie and others will regret it sooner or later."

Qi Xiong's words were more like what he said to himself than to Song Wen.

He seemed to be trying to convince himself that staying in the Su family was the best choice.

"Daoyou is right." Song Wen agreed.

After parting with Qi Xiong, Song Wen realized that the Su family was about to take action.

But so far, Song Wen knew nothing about why the Su family wanted to capture the "Changsheng Gong" cultivator.

"We must try to get information about this matter!"

Song Wen pondered carefully in his heart.

What the Su family planned must be extremely important to the Su family. If this matter is destroyed, it will definitely be a great blow to the Su family.

Based on his current understanding of the Su family, he can be sure that several elders in charge of the Su family must know the reason for this matter. Maybe some of the Su family's core foundation-building monks also knew about it, but Song Wen couldn't determine who they were, so he couldn't target these people.

Last time, Su Jingtong, the third elder of the Su family, failed to search for souls due to insufficient spiritual consciousness at the time.

Now, the intensity of his spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a monk at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and the success rate of soul-searching techniques against late-stage Foundation Establishment monks has been greatly improved.

After comparing the five remaining core elders of the Su family in his mind, Song Wen concluded that Su Xiuyong, the fifth elder stationed in Beidifang City, was the easiest to succeed.

However, this person acted too cautiously.

Last time, he used Su Xiaoliu as bait and planned to ambush Su Xiuyong, but he failed.

Beidifang City is only more than fifty miles away from Qingping Mountain. Moreover, most of the time, Su Xiuyong stayed in Su Jialing Pharmacy, protected by the formation.

Using force to break into the elixir store and kill Su Xiuyong was not the best idea.

Beidifang City is too close to Qingping Mountain, and people from the Su family may come to support at any time.

We must find a way to lead it out of the building with the formation in the backyard of the elixir store, or even out of the market, so that it can be easily succeeded.

Song Wen began to recall the information about Su Xiuyong in his mind.

Su Xiuyong, one hundred and fifty-three years old, once had a Taoist companion, but his Taoist companion failed to successfully build the foundation and died after exhausting his lifespan thirty years ago.

His parents had died long ago, and the Taoist monk had not given him a son or a daughter during his lifetime.

He acts cautiously, has no direct blood relatives, and spends most of his time practicing hard in the elixir store.

Looking at it this way, Su Xiuyong seemed to have no weaknesses, so Song Wen couldn't find a place to start.

"Maybe this time, I have to take a little risk."

Song Wen murmured in a low voice.
