ch more powerful to take charge." 。The man with wrinkles, Zhao Tongshan, nodded in agreement. 。“It seems these few people have already become aware and are protecting Zhao Li tightly.” 。It's not a goo..."How did you choose so many medicinal formulas" The hunchbacked old man saw the numerous jade slips that Lu Xia Tian picked up from the ground, and he couldn't help but be startled. There were quite a few cultivators in Lingxiao Palace who were involved in alchemy, but he had never seen any cultivator choose hundreds of medicinal formulas at once. The saying "too much to chew" is not only applicable to cultivation, but also to alchemy... 。Hundreds of kinds of medicinal herbs, does this fellow think he's a mid-level or high-level alchemist Even in the entire Lingxiao Palace, there's only one high-level alchemist. 。Even a mid-level alchemist wouldn't exceed the width of one palm. 。And there were dozens of Jindan cultivators in Lingxiao Palace. 。"The junior disciple just came out of the blood forbidden zone, and still has some spirit stones in hand. I copied all the wanted alchemical formulas at once to save myself from running back and forth here later." 。Lu Xia Tian explained that he was actually curious about the secrets hidden within those black scales. However, "the innocent are often punished for their possessions." Even amongst fellow disciples, he wouldn't let this hunchbacked old man know about the several black scales on his body. A treasure capable of causing such excitement in a Foundation Establishment cultivator must surely be extraordinary. 。"So that's how it is." 。The hunched old man nodded. Since he came out of the Blood Forbidden Land, he was considered a survivor of a catastrophe. It's normal for him to have some spirit stones on him. 。Although this kid spends his money lavishly and has gone through a fortune, it doesn't seem to bother him. 。After handing over the spirit stones and making a copy of the pill recipe, Lu Xiaoteng returned to Shiyun Peak where Wu Wenbin resided. At the foot of Shiyun Peak, he encountered a middle-aged couple whose complexions were ashen and pale. 。The woman wept bitterly. 。Mumbling "Ze'er," the middle-aged man bore a striking resemblance to Cheng Ze, whom he had encountered at the martial arts arena over a year ago and who had been defeated by Luo Qian. 。At a cursory glance, Lu Xia Tian understood the general situation. Wu Yan had a cousin who had fought Luo Qian on the Fighting Platform. It seemed to be a fight for Su Qing's affection. As a result, Cheng Ze was slightly inferior and was defeated by Luo Qian, falling from the Fighting Platform. Because Lu Xia Tian didn't take in Cheng Ze, he was resented by Wu Yan, who came rushing upon hearing the news. 。This couple are obviously Cheng Ze's parents. It was when he arrived at Shiyunfeng with Wu Yan before that he learned Cheng Ze had also entered the Blood Forbidden Land, but wasn't able to come out of it. 。It is inevitable that this couple would be heartbroken. 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head. The loss of loved ones wasn't limited to this couple alone. If those of them who came from scattered cultivation backgrounds died, who would grieve for them The families they had far away in the mundane kingdoms probably wouldn't even hear a whisper about their passing. 。Back in the cave, Lu Xia Tian took out all the copied prescriptions and skimmed through them. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, "I forgot that refining higher-tier pills requires a better alchemy furnace." 。Lu Xia Tian took out his original alchemy furnace and couldn't help but smile wryly. Although there was still some time before he could collect the Qi-Condensing Pill, it was obviously inappropriate to deal with some trivial matters at this time. 。It's just barely enough, so we'll have to make do. 。If you can't refine higher-level elixirs, then refine lower-level ones. 。Anyway, inside the barrier, there are quite a few spiritual herbs used for refining pills that cultivators in the Qi Refining period use. 。He couldn't possibly just throw away all these spirit herbs; taking them to sell directly would raise suspicion about the origin of such a large quantity. 。There is still some purple spirit grass, let's refine qi gathering pills first. 。Lu Xia Tian put several spiritual herbs, such as Zilingcao, into the alchemy furnace in order. 。During that time, he recalled having seen the experiences and insights of other alchemists on alchemy in the library hall before. 。Most alchemists can only follow the steps in the recipe mechanically. 。While skilled alchemists can increase the heat and make the spirit herbs melt faster in the cauldron, saving a lot of time during the alchemy process. 。Of course, this alchemy method is undoubtedly several times, even dozens of times more difficult than the step-by-step alchemy. 。A refiner needs to have extreme control over the flames. 。 。Due to the overwhelming firepower, the time allotted for spirit manipulation became increasingly shorter and any mistakes were unacceptable. 。As for the refining of Ju Qi Dan, Lu Xia Tian was already well-versed in it. After making a decision, he took out a large amount of bamboo charcoal 。 。

Due to the increased amount of bamboo charcoal, the firepower is much greater than before, and the time it takes for the spiritual herbs to fully activate in the cauldron is greatly shortened.

Not long after, a thick plume of black smoke billowed out from the cauldron. 。

Clean the dan furnace and light a fire again.

This repeated for ten days or so, until one day an explosion sounded within the cave. The leopard guarding the entrance was startled as well. 。The leopard peeked inside cautiously, and a young man with a face covered in soot dashed out. 。The young man coughed violently for a few times, then burst into laughter with his hands on his hips. 。

“Lu, are you Lu Shidi” Lu Xiaoxiao's mountain grove where he built his cave was quite dense with trees and shade. After turning several bends, Wu Yan arrived near the cave and saw Lu Xiaotian, whose face was blackened, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong Is something the matter" Lu Xia Tian composed himself and looked at Wu Yan in surprise. After not seeing each other for over ten days, Wu Yan shouldn't have failed to recognize him, right 。Senior Brother Lu, your face... 。Wu Yan covered her mouth and smiled, looking at Lu Xiaoteng's appearance with great novelty. 。“What’s wrong with my face” Lu Xia Tian was a little puzzled. 。Wu Yan pursed her lips, took out a mirror and showed it to Lu Xiaoteng. Lu Xiaoteng took a look, and in the mirror, his face was covered in soot and ash. If he wasn't someone familiar with him, it would be hard to recognize him at all. 。"Something went wrong with the alchemy, I apologize for that." 。At this moment, Lu Xia Tian understood and felt a blush creep onto his face. 。"There's nothing to laugh about. Lu Senior Brother is unmatched among cultivators of the same level, but even the most talented person can't be perfect at everything. Moreover, alchemy takes time and effort, and it's more difficult to improve than cultivation. It also requires a huge amount of financial support." 。But I believe that if Senior Brother Lu persists, his alchemy skills will definitely improve. 。Wu Yan saw Lu Xiaotian's failed alchemy, fearing he might be in low spirits, so she spoke to comfort him. 。"Uh, this... well..." 。Lu Xia Tian didn't know how to explain, the actual situation was naturally not as simple as it appeared before him. 。However, his skill in alchemy doesn't need to be explained to Wu Yan. 。"By the way, Lu senior brother, half a month has passed, today is the day to go to Lingxiao Palace main hall to receive the foundation-building pill, you won't forget it, will you" 。Wu Yan thought about the biggest purpose of this trip. 。"Yes, almost missed the appointed time. Wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes. " 。Lu XiaTian suddenly came to his senses. 。After a stick of incense, Lu Xia Tian, who had changed into a new set of green robes, and Wu Yan each rode on a spirit bird towards the main hall of Lingxiao Palace. 。Bathed in the wind that carried a palpable spiritual energy, Lu Xia Tian felt refreshed and invigorated. With his alchemy skills, it was naturally impossible for him to randomly blow up his alchemy furnace. 。My thoughts drifted, and the scene of refining alchemy a few days ago was still vivid in my mind. 。In fact, when he increased the firepower for refining pills, over a hundred furnaces of Gathering Qi Pills were ruined. 。

If this had happened in the past, even with his resolute nature, he couldn't help but feel some fluctuation and a slight sense of frustration after so many consecutive failures.

However, this time the purpose of refining pills was entirely to cultivate peace of mind. There wasn't much pursuit of the success rate. 。Even Lian Lu Xia Tian hadn't realized that this was the first time he was refining alchemy with an ordinary heart, without any joy, anger, or sorrow about whether the pill would be successful. 。Repeatedly input lingcao, refine the elixir, and clean the alchemy furnace. 。There are no emotional fluctuations. 。In this situation, he unexpectedly entered a state of extreme clarity, similar to the sudden enlightenment that occurs during cultivation. 。Lu Xia Tian couldn't remember which time he had successfully refined a pill, and this time it was even an exceptionally good batch of Ju Qi Dan. 。Since the first batch of top-grade Gathering Qi Pills was successfully refined, all subsequent batches have also been of the top grade. 。He wanted to refine top-grade pills, and luck played a big part in it. It was unheard of for him to get so many top-grade pills in a row like this. 。If he was holding the purpose of alchemy for immortality, he would surely be delighted with this form. 。However, after entering this ethereal state, Lu Xia Tian's mood didn't fluctuate much. He began to continue refining the Xuanlu Dan used for the middle stage of Qi training. 。The refinement process was much smoother this time, with firepower several times greater than before. Compared to the Qi Gathering Pill process, it was a lot easier. After only refining a few furnaces, he successfully produced another batch of pills. And as soon as they were out, they were all top-grade Xuanlu Pills. 。Similar to last time, after refining several furnaces of top-grade Xuanlu Dan, he began refining Wu Hua Dan. 。This time, the process was smoother than when I refined the Profound Dew Pill. It seems that the longer I stay in this ethereal state, the more natural and effortless the alchemy becomes. 。However, because the quality of his alchemy furnace was insufficient to support the refining of higher-level elixirs, he refined all the types of elixirs used in the Great Perfection of Qi Gathering over and over again. The most numerous among them was the Black Hua Dan, and almost all the elixirs produced were top-grade. 。Lu Xia Tian had forgotten how many days had passed. Until later, he vaguely remembered trying a Foundation Establishment stage pill. It was an upper-grade pill used for the early stages of Foundation Establishment, called "Pei Yuan Dan." 。Due to the quality of the furnace, he began using ordinary fire to refine it. After several failures, when the elixir was about to be formed, the alchemy furnace reached its limit and could no longer hold on. It exploded with a bang. The almost formed Peiyuan Dan naturally turned into scrap, but from the medicinal fragrance that had been released before, Lu Xia Tian could be sure that the elixir produced was at least of high grade. 。Even a junior alchemist, if they could refine one furnace of pills in several furnaces, it would definitely not be the worst level. As for the top-grade Peiyuan Dan, it would require very good luck. 。He now feels that his control over firepower has reached a level he could hardly have imagined before. Although he hasn't successfully refined a furnace of Peiyuan Dan yet, Lu Xia Tian is confident that as long as he is given a suitable alchemy furnace, he will be able to refine the elixir and the success rate will definitely not be low. 。It's a pity that the alchemy furnace exploded. If he had persisted for a while longer, he might have reached the level of a mid-level alchemist, or even a high-level alchemist. 。Lu XiaTian smacked his lips. 。He didn't know how rare it was for an alchemist to achieve that ethereal state of alchemy. 。Many cultivators who devote their lives to alchemy may not necessarily achieve this state. 。As for the large amount of spiritual artifacts and spirit pills accumulated within the barrier, even if they were only medicinal herbs used by Qi refining cultivators, it was a fortune that a foundation-building cultivator could hardly reach. 。It's a pleasant surprise, but I'm a little hesitant about getting involved afterwards. 。Alchemy has improved, and after entering the Qi Refining Stage, there's no issue with the supply of pills. The following cultivation should not be too slow either. 。Lu Xia Tian stretched languidly, it seemed that things wouldn't be too bad in the future. 。"Lu Shixiong, we've arrived" 。Beyond several paces, Wu Yan reminded Lu Xiaodao. She found it strange, as if today Lu Xiaodao had been zoning out more than usual. 。In the Crimson Forbidden Zone, he would be completely invisible. 。The ones who were still distributing the Foundation Building Pills were Lei Wantian and Huo Yuming, with the addition of another Jindan cultivator, which was Su Qing's grandfather. 。Wu Yan originally thought she arrived relatively early, but when they got there, almost all the other Qi refining cultivators were already present. Seeing so many people looking back at her, she felt a little embarrassed. 。Lu Xiaitian touched his nose, actually this matter wasn't Wu Yan's fault. If she hadn't come to find him and wasted some time, even if he had arrived a little later, he would have definitely been around average. 。However, it wasn't considered late yet. It could only be said that these Qi Refining cultivators' desire for the Foundation Establishment Pill had reached a certain level. Many were even so excited that they couldn't sleep at night. 。"Alright, now that everyone is here, we'll begin distributing the Foundation Building Pills." 。Of course, before distributing the Foundation-Building Pills, there are some things I must remind you of. Because of your hard work, our Lingxiao Palace has made a name for itself this time, even surpassing the spiritual objects obtained by the Ancient Sword Sect and Qingdan Palace. 。These elixirs you have acquired are of great benefit to the sect. 。It is precisely because some disciples obtained more spiritual objects, and thus received a larger amount of Foundation Establishment Pills. 。In addition to fulfilling my own foundation-building, there may be surplus. 。Foundation Pills are related to the rise and fall of a sect. 。Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to leak information to other sects. After you have established your foundation, any extra Foundation Establishment Pills you have must be reported to the Immortal Palace and can only be traded within this Immortal Palace. 。"But once it is found to have flowed into the hands of other sects, this Immortal Palace will directly abolish its cultivation and expel it from the Lingxiao Immortal Palace. You must keep this in mind!" "Disciples remember." 。All the Qi cultivators' hearts trembled, and they loudly replied. 。Facing the warning of the Golden Core ancestor, they didn't dare to be careless, even though they had already established their foundations. However, facing the Golden Core ancestor, they still had no possibility of resistance. 。On stage, Huo Yuming and Lei Wantian each said a few more words, then began to distribute the Zhuji Dan. 。Lu Xiaitian, being an anomaly, naturally received the news first. Su Hongchou took a fresh look at Lu Xiaitian, having recently heard this young man mentioned several times by his granddaughter. However, he seemed to be no different from the information he possessed. In fact, how powerful a disciple was during the Qi Refinement stage didn't matter much to these Jindan ancestors. They valued potential. 。Only those with the potential to reach the Golden Core stage would be given special attention. Otherwise, someone who peaked at the Foundation Establishment stage wouldn't be worth much fuss over. There were hundreds of such people in Lingxiao Palace. Compared to Qi Refinement disciples, they were naturally superior, but in the eyes of Golden Core ancestors, they held little value. 。In conclusion, Su Hongchou's conclusion is the same as Lei Wantian and Huo Yuming's. This life, Lu Xiaotien's foundation building has reached its limit. 。hes.After all, Zhao Ruhui also has his own considerations. Fighting against this Sang Yue battle formation himself consumes a lot of energy. He can only try his best to use the Jue Shen Taoist robe to...
