Chapter 171 Refining Water Spirit Pill
Dust-cleansing grass is the main spiritual medicine for refining foundation-building pills. With Xiao Lin's current status as a pill-refining boy, it is obviously impossible to get this dust-cleansing grass from the sect, so Xiao Lin has been thinking about how to get the seedlings or seeds of this dust-cleansing grass these days.
Unexpectedly, this trip to Xueling Immortal City gave him a rich harvest. Not only did he buy all the auxiliary spiritual medicines needed for refining the Five Elements Spirit Pill and the Foundation-Building Pill, he also accidentally got this small bag of dust-cleansing grass seeds, which can be said to be an unexpected surprise.
Moreover, when Xiao Lin entered the shop in Xueling Immortal City, those people saw his clothes as a disciple of Dancao Mountain, and they all rushed to introduce him to the good things sold in their shops.
There were indeed a few top-grade magic tools and primary talismans that Xiao Lin almost bought, but he gave up after thinking about it.
He has no shortage of magic weapons now, whether it is the Seven Blades Slash or the Blue Gold Shield, or the Seal of Life and Death, or the Black Scale Shuttle, at least they are high-level magic weapons, not to mention that he also has the Spirit Hidden Shield, a spiritual blank, and the Three Yuan Magic Flag, a genuine spiritual weapon.
For Xiao Lin now, the most important thing is to refine the Five Elements Spirit Pill to improve his cultivation realm as soon as possible.
This made him resist impulse consumption in the end, but buying a large number of auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining the Five Elements Spirit Pill and the Foundation Building Pill also cost him thousands of low-grade spiritual stones.
Xiao Lin felt a little distressed that the rich fortune he had just obtained was reduced by half at once, thanks to the many storage bags he got in the cave trial. Some of the owners of these storage bags were killed by him, and some were killed by others and happened to be picked up by him.
However, Xiao Lin also knew that the owner of the bag he picked up was most likely either killed by a group of monsters or killed by cultivators, otherwise it would not be possible for him to get a bargain.
But if it were not for the wealth obtained from the cave, just purchasing auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining the Five Elements Spirit Pill and the Foundation Building Pill would probably allow him to return to the time before he became an immortal.
In the next month, in addition to taking care of Uncle Tao's spiritual field every day, Xiao Lin hid in the stone room and entered the spiritual wood space to fiddle with his own spiritual field.
Xiao Lin first harvested most of the rejuvenation flowers and cleared a part of the field. There were still a lot of Da Hui Yuan Dan refined before, which was enough for the time being, and once he entered the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, Xiao Lin's demand for Da Hui Yuan Dan would also be reduced a lot.
So Xiao Lin only kept 20 to 30 plants of rejuvenation flowers, and harvested and preserved the rest.
Xiao Lin planted all the seeds of the Dust Cleansing Grass he bought from Xueling Fairy City. During this period, he harvested another batch of Five Elements Spiritual Grass and Ice Yin Grass. Since the Fire Scale Fruit was planted relatively late, this batch had just grown to a medicinal age of 70 to 80 years, so Xiao Lin did not harvest it for the time being.
He put the harvested Five Elements Spiritual Grass, Ice Yin Grass, and the previously harvested Fire Scale Fruit into a storage bag, and then Xiao Lin left the Spirit Wood Space.
Xiao Lin chose an alchemy room with a relatively new alchemy furnace, and spent half a day to tidy it up. The alchemy furnace in this alchemy room was a top-quality copper furnace, much better than Xiao Lin's purple silver furnace.
So Xiao Lin planned to use the alchemy furnace in the stone room to refine the Five Elements Spiritual Pill directly. Before Xiao Yishao "disappeared", he also gave Xiao Lin 20 sets of materials for refining the Soul-Enriching Pill and asked him to complete the refining within two months. The refining of the Soul-Enriching Pill was a task assigned to Master Tao by the sect.
As long as it is completed, although Xiao Lin does not know how much sect contribution Uncle Tao can get, he can receive the corresponding sect contribution according to the soul-enhancing pills he handed in, and he can get one point of sect contribution for every ten soul-enhancing pills.
According to the tasks assigned by the sect to Uncle Tao, Xiao Lin must refine at least thirty soul-enhancing pills every month, which means that he can get three points of sect contribution every month.
Three points of sect contribution is already a lot. You should know that ordinary tasks are only one point of sect contribution. When Xiao Lin saw the reward of this task, he was really amazed. In Dancao Mountain, the status of alchemists is indeed very high.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin sorted out the fire beads. These alchemy rooms did not use the ground fire, but used a fire source called fire beads. From the mouth of Senior Brother Xiao, Xiao Lin knew that the fire beads were a container for holding ground fire.
Usually, the sect will put the fire beads into the earth fire for nourishment, and will take them out again after a year. The fire beads nourished by the earth fire can provide a stable earth fire flame for about a month. Most of the first and second level elixirs in Dancao Mountain use the fire beads as the fire source.
Xiao Lin prepared a total of five fire beads for this elixir. In his opinion, five months should be enough time for him to refine the five elements elixir.
After completing the preparations before refining the elixir, Xiao Lin closed the stone door of the alchemy room and sat cross-legged in front of the copper furnace. He did not start refining immediately, but began to recite the formula of the Dry Water Sutra and practiced.
Two hours later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes from his meditation. His spirit had returned to its peak state. He gently patted the storage bag on his waist, and various spiritual herbs for refining the five elements elixir flew out and landed on the open space in front of him.
At the same time, he took out a jade box from a shelf nearby, opened it, and took out a fist-sized bead that emitted a faint burning red glow. Xiao Lin carefully placed the fire bead at the bottom of the copper furnace.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin chanted a spell. After a cup of tea, he shot a stream of magic power at the fire bead at the bottom of the copper furnace. After the magic power was injected into the fire bead, the surface of the fire bead suddenly flashed red light, and then with a "puff", a dark red flame about a foot high burst out from it.
The burning breath immediately spread in the alchemy room.
Xiao Lin stared at the copper furnace, but in his mind he was recalling the process of refining the five elements elixir. After half an hour, Xiao Lin lightly touched a plant of ice yin grass and fire scale fruit beside him, and the two spiritual herbs immediately floated into the air and fell into the alchemy furnace.
At the same time, Xiao Lin pinched a water control spell and poured some water into the furnace. Soon, the ice grass and fire scale fruit melted, and the water in the furnace also flashed a green halo.
Xiao Lin pointed at the lid of the copper furnace, and the lid flew up and covered the copper furnace.
Then Xiao Lin closed his eyes again, as if he was in a state of meditation.
Half an hour later, two streams of air, one cold and one hot, emanated from the copper furnace, and a fragrance drifted out at the same time.
Xiao Lin, who had closed his eyes, opened his eyes and lightly touched the copper furnace. The lid flew out and landed beside Xiao Lin.
Then Xiao Lin began to take out several auxiliary spiritual herbs and put them into the alchemy furnace one by one. And every time he put in an auxiliary spiritual herb, Xiao Lin would pinch the spell and inject a stream of mana into the alchemy furnace.
With the infusion of mana, the liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace began to rotate slowly, and the fragrance became more and more intense. Xiao Lin's face suddenly showed a nervous look, and his mind began to concentrate highly. Every half an hour or so, he would put a material into the alchemy furnace.
It was unknown how long it had been, but most of the auxiliary spiritual herbs in front of Xiao Lin had been put in by him, and the liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace had turned transparent, and this transparent color was also a little emerald green.
Xiao Lin's hand gestures kept changing, and layers of phantoms had been formed. From these layers of phantoms, pure mana shot out and injected into the alchemy furnace.
And with the continuous infusion of mana, the speed of the liquid medicine rotation became faster and faster.
As the liquid medicine rotated faster and faster, Xiao Lin's face also showed a solemn look, and sweat oozed from his nose. He took a deep breath, and the hand gestures suddenly changed, and then several pure mana was injected into the fire beads under the alchemy furnace.
The dark red flame spewing from the fire beads suddenly grew several times larger, and the color also changed from dark red to a hint of green.
As the flames spewed from the fire beads grew larger, the liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace began to make a "gurgling" sound, and the liquid medicine rotated faster. In the center of the liquid medicine, the liquid medicine gradually turned emerald green, and the fragrance of the medicine became more and more intense.
Just smelling it makes people feel refreshed.
But Xiao Lin was not in the mood to indulge at this moment. His face was full of tension and solemnity. The spell in his hand changed again, and he injected a stream of light green mana into the liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace to speed up the fusion of various spiritual herbs.
This lasted for half an hour. Xiao Lin looked at the liquid medicine that had gradually condensed in the center of the alchemy furnace, and then pointed to the water-attributed five-element spiritual herb in the jade box beside him. The five-element spiritual herb immediately flew up and fell into the alchemy furnace.
The five elements spiritual herbs fell into the liquid in the alchemy furnace and melted immediately. The color of the entire liquid suddenly turned emerald green, and at the same time, a pure spiritual energy emanated from the alchemy furnace.
A touch of joy flashed across Xiao Lin's face, but he did not dare to be careless. The mana in his body rolled and flowed, and the magic formulas shot out a stream of mana and injected it into the alchemy furnace.
As the liquid rotated, a bunch of emerald green pills the size of soybeans squeezed out from the vortex in the center of the liquid, forming a string. At the same time, the whole alchemy room was filled with the rich aroma of spiritual pills.
Xiao Lin also showed a happy expression on his face. The five elements spiritual pill is a general term for five kinds of spiritual pills. Although they have different properties, for cultivators, they can actually be taken to improve their cultivation. However, if the spiritual pill swallowed is in line with the properties of their own skills, the effect will naturally be better.
Therefore, the one that Xiao Lin refined was the Water Spirit Pill among the Five Elements Spirit Pills. In fact, the Five Elements Spirit Herbs he harvested took into account the five attributes. However, he refined the Five Elements Spirit Pill mainly for himself to take and improve his cultivation. Therefore, the Water Spirit Pill was naturally the most compatible with his Dry Water Sutra.
Several Spirit Pills in the liquid medicine had begun to condense. As long as they finally condensed into shape and absorbed all the spiritual energy in the liquid medicine, they could be made into pills and taken out of the furnace.
Xiao Lin also showed excitement. As long as he could refine this Water Spirit Pill, his realm, which had been stagnant for a long time, would be expected to improve rapidly again. This made him unable to restrain his inner excitement, which was all shown on his face.
Just as Xiao Lin was about to enter the last spell and condense the pill out of the furnace, it was accompanied by a series of "puff" sounds. The condensed pills burst one after another in Xiao Lin's surprised eyes, and the medicine residue flew everywhere.
The refining of this batch of Water Spirit Pills actually failed at the most critical moment.
