Chapter 16 Danxia Peak

Back in the quiet room, Lin Mu was restless.

Sitting in the quiet room, all kinds of thoughts rushed into his mind.

The decision to fight Ma Huayuan to death was a bit rash, which Lin Mu had not expected. Ma Huayuan's insidiousness was far beyond his expectation.

This time, Lin Mu could beat Ma Huayuan, half by strength and half by luck.

But if he fought a life-and-death battle, Lin Mu was not sure at all under the watch of thousands of outer disciples. At least, it would be difficult for Lin Mu to resist Ma Huayuan's "Fireball Technique".

Low spiritual power cultivation is his weakness. At Lin Mu's current level, he can only use "Green Water Technique" at most three times with all his strength, and his spiritual power will be exhausted. Then he needs time to meditate and recover slowly. But in a life-and-death fight, if you are not careful, you will die, so where is the time to recover spiritual power.

But Lin Mu is not without a chance of winning.

Lin Mu has learned three of the five elements of magic, and he is flexible and changeable when facing the enemy, making it hard to defend against.

The spiritual energy in the Xuanyue Space is abundant. Lin Mu should be able to improve his cultivation by practicing hard in the past three months.

But these advantages cannot make Lin Mu feel at ease.

A life-and-death fight is no small matter. Once you fail, you will die.

Lin Mu hopes that his chances of winning can be greater, at least more than 70%. If he wants to do so, it is inevitable to work hard to improve his cultivation.

But Lin Mu also hesitated. If his cultivation improves too quickly, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others.

Lin Mu is a five-element spiritual root, which is known to everyone in Qianyu Sword Sect. His cultivation progress has always been slow, otherwise, Ma Huayuan would not be so confident.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mu decided to save his life first. If possible, try not to expose the existence of the Xuanyue Pendant.

Lin Mu no longer hesitated and decided to implement his original plan.

It is imperative to refine the Juling Pill. This is a shortcut to quickly improve cultivation, and it is also a good excuse to cover up the existence of the Xuanyue Pendant.

Lin Mu's figure flashed and entered the Xuanyue Space.

The hut was already half full of spiritual herbs, which had been sorted and placed by Lin Mu when they were collected.

Lin Mu took out the seven first-grade spiritual herbs for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, as well as the second-grade spiritual herb Yunlin Flower. These were the materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill.

According to the recipe recorded in the "Lihuo Pill Essentials", Lin Mu prepared a total of 70 portions of materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, plus the ten portions purchased from the Baiwu Pavilion, a total of 80 portions.

80 portions of alchemy materials were enough for Lin Mu to squander for a while.

Even at the beginning, the success rate of alchemy was very low, but as long as it could reach 40%, at least more than 30 bottles of Gathering Spirit Pill could be refined.

The "Lihuo Pill Essentials" also recorded the recipe for the Bigu Pill.

Bigu Pill was made from seven first-grade spiritual herbs, and Lin Mu prepared 65 portions of materials for refining Bigu Pill in the hut.

If these Bigu Pills were refined, they would be enough for Lin Mu to eat for two years.

After sorting out the materials for the two kinds of elixirs, Lin Mu started planting again without stopping.

But this time he was no longer as blind as before. Lin Mu already had the recipe, so he could plant more precisely.

Among the second-grade spiritual herbs, the planting scale of Hanyan Tobacco and Xingkonglan remained the same as before. Lin Mu planted 300 Yunlin Flowers, the main medicine for refining Juling Pills.

Among the first-grade spiritual herbs, the seven first-grade spiritual herbs for refining Juling Pills were planted with more than 300 plants each, which was about the same as Yunlin Flowers.

Lin Mu did not plant the rest of the first-grade spiritual herbs because they were not needed now. He only planted more than 100 plants of each spiritual herb symbolically.

This process took Lin Mu a day.

After finishing all this, Lin Mu began to calm down and carefully study "Lihuo Dan Yao".

In terms of alchemy, Lin Mu was a complete novice and had no experience. He could only rely on "Lihuo Dan Yao" to learn some basic knowledge, which was better than a blind man touching an elephant.

There are many ways to make alchemy. There are water refining methods and fire refining methods. But most alchemists use fire refining methods. "Lihuo Dan Yao" clearly records some precautions for fire refining methods and the techniques usually used in alchemy.

This is a brand new world for Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was eager and deeply immersed in it.

For three consecutive days, Lin Mu had no appetite and sat in the quiet room, studying the way of alchemy. After three days, he had a preliminary understanding of alchemy.

If you want to become a qualified alchemist, you still need a lot of practice.

In these three days, he read the most about the refining of Juling Dan. In total, he read the content of refining Juling Dan no less than ten times and could remember it by heart.

As for the refining method of Bigu Dan, he also read it many times.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. After completing these preparations, Lin Mu began to take action.

Wrap the ten alchemy materials purchased in Baiwu Pavilion last time in a green cloth bag. Lin Mu first went to the Lingshan Hall to have a full meal, and then walked towards Danxia Peak with a cloth bag.

Danxia Peak is not far from Xifeng. There are many alchemy rooms inside Danxia Peak.

When he arrived at Danxia Peak, before entering, someone came forward and asked, "Please stay, what are you doing?"

Tai Ning is the deacon disciple of Danxia Peak, responsible for guarding the alchemy room here.

Lin Mu bowed and smiled, "I want to rent an alchemy room."

Tai Ning looked at Lin Mu and said, "Come with me."

Lin Mu followed Tai Ning into the belly of the mountain.

The interior of Danxia Peak has been hollowed out and transformed into large and small alchemy rooms. There are alchemy rooms, waste alchemy rooms, herbal medicine rooms, alchemy storage rooms, etc.

After walking for a long time, passing through the nine-curve corridor, Tai Ning brought Lin Mu to a row of alchemy rooms.

Tai Ning smiled and said, "This is the alchemy room, which is specially used for Qi Refining cultivators to practice. The rental fee is two low-grade spirit stones per day. If the spirit stones are not enough, they can be replaced with an equal amount of elixir. Each bottle of Juling Dan costs four low-grade spirit stones, and each bottle of Bigu Dan costs two low-grade spirit stones."

Lin Mu nodded in agreement and randomly chose an alchemy room and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes were attracted by an object in the room.

There was a stone platform in the middle of the room, on which stood an antique brass furnace, and red flames were spewing out from the stone platform below from time to time.

Tai Ning followed beside him and explained to Lin Mu: "This is a mid-grade magic weapon, the brass furnace. Although it is not the best, it is more than enough to refine the first-grade elixir, the Bigu Pill."

Lin Mu looked at the brass furnace and asked: "Then how to control the flame in this stone platform?"

Tai Ning smiled and said: "In order to facilitate the low-level cultivators to refine the elixir, the elders of the sect used their powerful strength to open up the earth veins, lead the earth lung fire, and seal it in this stone platform. When refining the elixir, as long as the spiritual power is used to control the strength of the flame, low-level cultivators can also refine the elixir." He looked at the dancing flames and said, "Although this alchemy is not difficult, it is extremely challenging to one's patience. If you are not careful, a furnace of elixirs will be burned."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, senior brother. I am very grateful."

Tai Ning said kindly, "In that case, you can make the elixir here." After saying that, he turned and left. Before leaving, he reminded Lin Mu, "There is a mechanism on this stone door. Just press it lightly, and the stone door will close tightly, and outsiders cannot come in to disturb."

After saying that, he turned and left. Lin Mu sent him to the door, then came back and gently pressed the mechanism on the stone door. The stone door weighing a thousand pounds slowly closed, blocking the alchemy room tightly, and outsiders could not peek into the situation inside the alchemy room at all.

After the stone door was closed, Lin Mu began to look around the alchemy room.

The entire alchemy room is tall and spacious, with excellent ventilation. There is only a stone platform in the middle of the alchemy room, and no other external objects.

Lin Mu walked forward and carefully observed the structure of the stone platform and the brass furnace.

The more Lin Mu looked at it, the more he was amazed. This stone platform was a work of art. The round base sealed the fire of the earth lung. A golden round handle protruded from the side of the stone platform. Lin Mu held the round handle and input spiritual power slightly. The originally sealed flame in the stone platform suddenly jumped up, swallowing and spitting out flames and burning the bottom of the brass furnace.

This golden round handle is the key to controlling the flame.

Lin Mu learned from "Lihuo Dan Yao" that if you want to refine pills, you need to be able to control the strength of the flame at will.

Controlling fire is the most critical part of the alchemy process.

If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.

Lin Mu began to try to practice how to control fire. Holding the golden round handle, he adjusted the size of the spiritual power input from time to time, and the strength of the flame in the stone platform also changed accordingly.

After half a day, Lin Mu was able to control the strength of the flames with ease.

Lin Mu couldn't help but get excited. Next, the first time in his life to make an elixir was about to begin.
