Chapter 182 Grasp

Everyone present was silent for a moment after hearing Du Longfeng's words. Shan Qin looked at his father, hoping that he would make up his mind.

Shan Gu signaled to stay calm and looked back at Du Longfeng:

"Brother Du, how confident are you that you can make a pill?"

The latter held out three fingers, and then felt something was wrong, so he took one back and kept only two:

"No more than 20%."

Such a low success rate obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, and Shan Gu frowned even more.

Du Longfeng continued to add:

"As the top elixir among the fourth-level elixirs, the difficulty of refining the Fengyuan Pill is more than one level higher than that of ordinary fourth-level elixirs.

"With my ability, I am really stretched to the limit. If Brother Jie was still here, I would have a much better chance. What a pity. "

Du Longfeng shook his head.

Shan Gu also understood what he meant, but Jie Yuanrui left too fast, and before Yu Tianze could return with the elixir, the deadline was approaching.

Now he had no choice but to choose Du Longfeng to refine this pill, but such a low success rate forced Shan Gu to consider it carefully.

"What if there are other fourth-level alchemists to assist?"

Du Longfeng still shook his head:

"The Phoenix Yuan Pill is not like ordinary fourth-level pills, and the pill formula is unfamiliar, so it is not meaningful for multiple people to jointly refine the pill. On the contrary, it will increase the possibility of failure in refining the pill because of unfamiliarity with each other..."

Seeing that Shan Gu and the others were silent, Du Longfeng said:

"The leader can try to find other alchemists."

The latter smiled bitterly:

"The level of the fourth-level alchemists in the other three Yuanying forces in Yunzhou City is not much different from Brother Du.

"If we want to go further, we have to ask those few gods for help," Shan Gu shook his head. "How can such a spiritual pill convince a dignified god-transforming cultivator to start?"

The spiritual pill refining seemed to be stuck in a dead end. Shan Gu said helplessly:

"In this case, the matter of refining Fengyuan Pill will be put on hold for the time being. Please do not leak the news of Tianfeng Fruit."

Several people nodded.

After leaving the Dan Palace, Miaoli Shan said:

"Master, if this Fengyuan Pill fails, what should Qin'er do to condense the infant?"

Shan Gu looked at his daughter and sighed:

"There is not only one chance to condense the infant. Since there is no Fengyuan Pill, let's choose the spiritual pill.

"Use Dingling Pill to resist the heart demon calamity, and then use a few top-grade spirit stones to replenish the pure spiritual energy.

"Although the effect is a little worse than Fengyuan Pill, it is also a helpless method."

"But in this case, Qin'er's practice is not in vain."

The practice that Shan Qin practices is the "Ku Rong Zhen Jing" inherited from the upper realm, which has the power of life and death cycle.

The tenacious vitality of the Phoenix is ​​just right for this kind of practice, and the Phoenix Yuan Dan made from the Phoenix Fruit is also a treasure that shapes the foundation of this practice.

With the help of the Phoenix Yuan Dan, Shan Qin will have no obstacles in her practice after she is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as there is enough time, she will definitely be able to practice to the late Nascent Soul stage. Even if she is a spirit, the probability of promotion is several times higher than that of other ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Giving up the Phoenix Yuan Dan at this moment is equivalent to giving up the future after the Nascent Soul stage.

"Qin'er, what do you think?"

The latter concentrated his mind. Years of Chamber of Commerce affairs made him much more stable. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Maybe there is no need to rush. At present, my Yunji Chamber of Commerce is still the dominant position in Yunzhou City, on par with the Shadow Moon Sect.

"No one can threaten us, even the two demon tribes in the gutter, and they don't dare to offend.

"It is not very meaningful for Qin'er to enter the Nascent Soul stage at this time. It is better to put the matter of Nascent Soul aside and wait for other opportunities.

"During this period, it is just right to take over the mundane affairs of the Chamber of Commerce from Aunt Miao, and let her retreat for a while to impact the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and strengthen the strength of our Chamber of Commerce."

Shan Gu nodded after hearing this:

"I am very pleased that you can think this way."

He patted Shan Qin's shoulder:

"Don't worry, in at most 20 years, I will definitely get you a Fengyuan Pill."

Turning to Miaoli Shan:

"How is Shan'er's current cultivation? Are you sure to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"

The latter pondered for a moment:

"Too much time was wasted before. Even if you retreat wholeheartedly, it will take more than 10 to 20 years."

Shan Gu clapped his hands:

"In that case, then retreat with all your strength. My Yunji Chamber of Commerce has a stable position and does not need this little time. In addition, Peiying Pills can be withdrawn regularly. Anyway, there is a new alchemist in my Chamber of Commerce, and now there is no shortage of these pills. "

Both women nodded.

The affairs of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce were quickly handed over between the two.

Miao Lishan went into seclusion with the elixir promised by Shan Gu, while Shan Qin appeared in front of everyone again to handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

Yu Tianze did not go out again, but chose to stay in the Chamber of Commerce and assist Shan Qin.

Wei Zhong was naturally not aware of all the power transfers in the Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, he was immersed in the study of the fourth-level puppet with more than a dozen other refiners.

"No, no, what is the difference between the divine box and the urn refined in this way? If you can't achieve perfect control of the puppet's body with the spirit, how can you fight against the Nascent Soul?"

"..."

After having the appropriate divine box spiritual materials, everyone followed the records in the inheritance and proposed a variety of refining plans, but none of them could achieve the effect described in the inheritance.

Therefore, the refining of the divine box has been delayed.

"Our consciousness of forming the elixir is too weak, and the divine box is not precise enough, so there will be a situation where a child dances with a big knife.

"If we want to solve this problem, we still have to start with refining the divine box."

Everyone present understood this truth, but due to their limited abilities, they only knew the reason but not the explanation.

Even though there is a detailed puppet refining process in the inheritance, no one has the ability to copy it.

Wei Zhong was depressed for a moment and looked at the spiritual materials piled aside:

"The quantity of the God-breaking Jade and Heavenly Fantasy Stone is enough to refining two or three divine boxes. I can't wait to lower the requirements to refine them first. Such blind talk on paper is not the answer."

Hearing Wei Zhong's words, Zhuge Zhao nodded:

"Fellow Taoist Wei Zhong is right. Our experience in refining weapons has been proven through many practice of refining weapons.

"It's just empty talk about how to become a master of weapon refining. The same goes for puppet refining.

"What Fellow Daoist Wei said, Pindao supports!"

The words lasted only five breaths, and five more weapon refiners raised their hands:

"We also support it."

Huang Yunqi thought about it:

"There is no problem in trying to refine the divine box, but the spiritual materials are rare, so don't mess around. Just refine them one by one from some of the parts. If there are any gaps, make them up in time to avoid more losses..."

After speaking, the fourth-level weapon refiner also raised his hand.

Seeing that the three fourth-level weapon refiners in the hall all expressed their opinions, the rest of the people had no reason to object and raised their hands one after another.

At this point, everyone agreed and began to work on the specific refining of the God Box under the leadership of Huang Yunqi.

When spring goes and autumn comes, it takes ten years.

The Wang family, whose family was invaded by demons, did not hold another banquet, and its disciples also kept a low profile, no longer as loud as before.

That Wang Boshang came to Yunji Chamber of Commerce many times, trying to get closer to Wei Zhong, but Wei Zhong was busy studying puppet refining and had no time to pay attention to him.

His request to meet was rejected several times. It was not until Wang Boshang was promoted to Dan Ji in the eighth year that Wei Zhong came out of seclusion, gave several Haoyuan Dan as a gift, and then hurried back to Yunduan Mountain.

Within ten years, everyone devoted almost all their time to refining the God Box.

"Almost!"

Wei Zhong looked at the pile of divine box parts in front of him, and then at the two small piles of God-breaking Jade and Heavenly Fantasy Stone on the side.

Compared with ten years ago, the number of both has shrunk by half.

At the same time, the results brought by the consumption of spiritual materials are also gratifying.

Now, with the combined efforts of everyone, we are 60% sure of refining the divine box.

I don’t know how much better it is compared to when I couldn’t figure out the way before.

Huang Yunqi looked at the tired-looking people and said:

"Everyone, take a good rest for a while. After one month, we will officially start refining the divine box."

Ten years of hard work and unremitting efforts consume a huge amount of everyone's energy.

Even though Wei Zhong had been able to maintain his mental state for such a long time, it was still too much for him now.

Not to mention, those weapon refiners whose cultivation and strength are not as good as Wei Zhong.

Huang Yunqi nodded in response, and everyone left one after another.

After coming out of seclusion, the sunlight falling overhead made Wei Zhong feel temporarily uncomfortable.

‘Refining this fourth-level puppet is really troublesome. ’

If Wei Zhong were to study alone, it would probably take nearly a hundred years to reach the current progress of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

There are resource limitations such as the God-breaking Jade and the Heavenly Fantasy Stone, as well as Wei Zhong's insufficient cultivation.

Just as he was about to leave, a man suddenly flew up to Wei Zhong.

Looking at the old face of the person in front of him, Wei Zhong considered and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yan?"

The latter smiled:

"Exactly, Fellow Daoist Wei has been in seclusion for a long time."

Wei Zhong didn't know what to say, but he hadn't seen Yan Wanhong for ten years, and his appearance had changed drastically, highlighting his old age.

‘Is this person approaching the end of his lifespan? ’

It seemed that he was aware of what Wei Zhong was thinking:

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei, there is no need to guess. Although I have aged a lot, I estimate that I still have at least fifty years to live, which is almost half of a mortal's life."

But his heart is not as free and easy as his words. When has it been the turn of a dignified alchemy monk to compete with mortals to live longer?

Wei Zhong didn't say a word, but Yan Wanhong added:

"Miss Shan specially invited Taoist Fellow Wei to meet her, and also asked fellow Taoist Master to come with me."

Wei Zhong nodded and followed him slightly into the air.

…

"Fellow Daoist Wei has united with the weapon refiners to retreat for ten years. Does that fourth-level puppet have any eyebrows?"

Shan Qin poured tea for Wei Zhong and asked.

"It's almost there. It will probably take a few more years to successfully refine it."

When Wei Zhong touched the wall of the cup, it felt slightly cool. When he drank the tea, the taste was almost the same as in his previous life. It seemed that Shan Qin had imitated Wei Zhong's tea-making techniques very well.

"really?"

There was a bit of emotion in Shan Qin's words.

"The poor man will still be able to trick the young lady, but due to material limitations, the refining process may still fail, and there is no guarantee of 100% success."

"Is that so?"

Shan Qin's enthusiasm seemed to be extinguished by Wei Zhong's words.

"But it's good to have hope of success. Even if you fail, you can look for some more materials..."

After encouraging Wei Zhong, Shan Qin took out a piece of black cloth and pushed it in front of Wei Zhong:

"This is the inner demon cloak that my father successfully refined a few years ago. Because fellow Taoist was addicted to puppet refining, he has never been able to deliver it to fellow Taoist..."

After Wei Zhong took it, he looked curiously at this unattractive magical weapon.

At first glance, it doesn't look much different from ordinary cloth, and I don't know what kind of spiritual materials Shanjie added to it to make it look like this, which is quite disguised.

But when Wei Zhong touched it with his right hand, he found that it was not as rough as it looked to his eyes, but extremely smooth and delicate.

The Jindan spiritual power was input into it, and the cloak gradually grew larger, from the length and width of an arm to the size that could wrap a person.

Pointing at it, it floated up out of thin air, and then wrapped Wei Zhong inside, penetrated the clothes around him, and directly adhered to Wei Zhong's skin.

Shan Qin passed two fingers across, and a water mirror condensed in the air.

Wei Zhong looked and found that his skin was just slightly white, and there was not much change other than that.

But when Wei Zhong increased the output of spiritual power, a little fluorescence suddenly appeared on his fair skin, which looked quite weird.

"Such an image is not much different from the inner demon recorded in ancient books, enough to be mistaken for the real thing," Shan Qin said when he saw this.

'It turns out that people who are possessed by the inner demon look like this. '

The overly white skin made Wei Zhong feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but think of a sentence in his previous life: "... Not so white".

Not to mention the dots of fluorescence attached to the surface of the skin, representing the powerful spiritual power.

Wei Zhong's mind moved, and this time, in addition to the change in appearance, his aura also changed at the same time. Shan Qin stood in front of Wei Zhong, but it was difficult to detect his aura, even though they were less than five feet apart.

'In addition to changing the aura, can it also conceal the aura? It is somewhat similar to my own breath-retaining technique. '

Concentrating slightly, Wei Zhong felt that his spiritual power was extremely condensed.

'The effect of spiritual attack is achieved by greatly enhancing the cultivator's own spiritual consciousness, but the intensity is too exaggerated. It is more than one level stronger than the Shocking Soul Thorn. '

Wei Zhong couldn't help but be amazed.

'The defensive effect is not bad at all, but it's a pity that there is no experimental subject, otherwise I would like to try to use this thing to resist the spiritual attack of the Nascent Soul. '

Wei Zhong collected his mind, and the Heart Demon Cloak separated from his body and turned into an ordinary black cloth again.

"How is it, Daoist Fellow Wei Zhong, are you satisfied with this magic weapon?"

"Satisfied, satisfied! Master Shan is indeed a senior fourth-level refiner, and such a method can be called a heavenly gift."

Shan Qin covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Just don't know how much it costs to refine it?"

"Daoist Wei, you are too polite. Daoist Fellow has assisted our Chamber of Commerce in studying the fourth-level puppet technique, and has made great efforts.

"Father once said that if Daoist Fellow asks about the cost, the two things will be offset.

"Of course, the promise to share the secret opportunity behind the puppet is still valid."

Wei Zhong could only nod his head.

Putting away the Heart Demon Cloak, he quickly escaped into his own sea of ​​consciousness and floated beside the Time Treasure Record.

"By the way, why haven't you seen Senior Miao?"

"Aunt Miao has been in seclusion for many years, Daoist Fellow can't see her now."

'Is she going to attack the middle stage of the Nascent Soul? ’

Standing up:

“Then I will take my leave first to prepare for the puppet refining.

“If the Chamber of Commerce needs the Heart Demon Cloak, you can come to me.”

Wei Zhong bowed and left.
