However, although Remarkable Secret Techniques were powerful, they were not easy to master. It was just like martial artists who practiced martial arts. Not only did they need to comprehend the principles contained within, but they also needed to practice persistently in order to truly unleash the great power of Remarkable Secret Techniques.
After memorizing the Golden Blaze Technique, Lu Xuan began to mobilize the two elemental essences of metal and fire in his body according to the instructions. The two powers intertwined and instantly passed through his meridians to his hands.
However, Lu Xuan could not do this step alone. Every time the power of the two great Divine Glyphs of metal and fire converged, it was because he did not control the power well and the two sides collided. Not only did he not manage to expel the power, but the power was also neutralized within.
Lu Xuan had already expected his first failure. He shook his head and began another round of attempts. He had never thought that he would be able to master it in a short period of time …
Lu Xuan's days in the Heavenly Emperor Palace were spent in cultivation, and his strength was also growing steadily. The so-called strength did not refer to Lu Xuan's realm as a martial artist, but to his overall strength, which included the three meridians of Spirit Refinement, Body Refinement, and Soul Refinement.
It took Lu Xuan two months to master the Golden Blaze Technique. Although it was not complete, its power was already very impressive. It was not inferior to the attack of a martial artist at the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
Of course, during these two months, Lu Xuan did not just practice the Golden Blaze Technique. He continued to practice the Talisman Technique and did not neglect the Taiyi Regression Technique. Now that his realm of the seventh tier of the Body Refinement Realm was completely stable, he began to break through to the eighth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. What Ye Tian said about the three methods complementing each other was indeed true. Whether it was practicing the path of the Soul Refinement Realm or the path of the Body Refinement Realm, it seemed to promote the path of the Spirit Refinement Realm. In particular, the improvement of the strength of the soul and the power of the bloodline made Lu Xuan feel that the speed at which he absorbed the Yuan Power seemed to be getting faster and faster.
After he successfully cultivated the Golden Blaze Explosion, under Little Tanuki's strong request, Lu Xuan finally began to learn the art of alchemy. Naturally, what he learned was the Firmament Pill Canon that Ye Tian had passed on to him.
The records of the Pill Dao in the Firmament Pill Book could be said to be extensive and profound. One could tell that it was compiled by the Pill Emperor with his blood, sweat, and tears. Not only did it teach various pill refining techniques, it also included countless pill formulas from low to high grade. Every formula was marked in great detail, including the type and content of the spiritual materials needed, the sequence of the spiritual materials entering the furnace, the time needed to refine the pill, whether to use a gentle fire or a martial fire, and so on.
The records were so detailed that Lu Xuan almost gasped in amazement. Ordinary alchemy techniques would at most record some alchemy techniques, and then some pill recipes. However, they would never be as detailed as this. As for how to refine a perfect pill, that was something that one would have to figure out on their own.
Of course, Lu Xuan was happy to see such detailed records in the Firmament Pill Canon. This would save him a lot of time to learn pill refining. After all, it had not even been a year. How could he have so much time to spend on continuous attempts? With the records in the Firmament Pill Canon, he only needed to follow them.
Furthermore, the pill formulas recorded in the Firmament Pill Canon contained many ancient secret formulas. Many of them had long been lost in the Sky Sword Continent, so their value was simply indescribable.
In reality, what Lu Xuan did not know was that the original Firmament Pill Canon was actually very simple. It was no different from ordinary pill refining techniques. The only exception was that there were more pill formulas.
However, when Ye Tian had asked the Pill Emperor for the formula, he had shamelessly asked the Pill Emperor to help him clearly mark down the formula on how to refine the pill faster. This was the reason why the Firmament Pill Canon in Lu Xuan's hands was so detailed.
It was fortunate that Ye Tian had made such a request. Otherwise, the Pill Emperor would not have bothered with such a rude request. However, for the sake of the Sky Emperor, the Pill Emperor had still dutifully marked down the formula clearly. Now, it had benefited Lu Xuan.
However, even so, pill refining was still a technical job and not just a physical one. Just the problem of controlling the temperature of the fire was enough to make Lu Xuan very anxious.
He still remembered the first time he had refined a pill. To be on the safe side, Lu Xuan had not refined a pill that was of a high grade. He had only refined a low-grade Human Tier Three pill. After he had collected the medicinal ingredients and thrown them into the Taiyi Cauldron, he had controlled the Taiyi Cauldron to emit flames. Then, a huge flame had erupted from the Taiyi Cauldron, burning all the spiritual materials into ashes in an instant.
As the witnesses of this sacred moment, Ruo Xiangyi and Little Tanuki were both speechless. Little Tanuki had directly covered her eyes with her little claws, indicating that she could not bear to look at it. For ordinary people, even though they would usually fail the first time, they would at least be able to refine two useless pills. However, Lu Xuan had done it so well that not even ashes were left.
This could not be entirely blamed on Lu Xuan. He just did not expect the temperature of the Taiyi Cauldron's flame to be so high that it had turned the spiritual materials into ashes in an instant.
After burning more than ten furnaces of spiritual materials in a row, Lu Xuan was barely able to control the temperature of the fire. Of course, it was just barely because the black pill that he had refined not only did not have the slightest medicinal fragrance, but also had a burning smell. Although Lu Xuan had insisted that this was definitely a successful pill, Ruo Xiangyi and Little Tanuki did not believe him. Little Tanuki would rather eat those astringent spiritual materials than take the risk of eating the pill that Lu Xuan had refined. Who knew if this thing had any side effects? Besides, it did not smell fragrant at all, and Little Tanuki was very picky about food.
However, Lu Xuan became courageous after knowing his shame. Being an alchemist required money to burn, and what he was going through right now was precisely the process of burning money. Moreover, Ye Tian had left so many spiritual materials for him to burn, hadn't he? If he did not practice now, when would he practice? Thus, recently, there was always a slightly burnt smell lingering around the pill room.
On this day, Lu Xuan was still refining medicine, but the medicinal pill that he was refining had been replaced with a Human Level Fifth Grade Medicinal Pill, the Spirit Gathering Pill. Although the Spirit Gathering Pill was only a Human Level Fifth Grade Medicinal Pill, for a martial artist in the Body Refinement Stage, it was comparable to a Divine Pill. This was because a Spirit Gathering Pill was enough for them to break through the Body Refinement Stage and achieve the Spirit Refinement Stage.
Carefully controlling the fire, Lu Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and his soul force completely penetrated into the Taiyi Cauldron, carefully observing the changes of the spiritual materials inside. Soul force was also extremely important for an alchemist, because only by using soul force could one perceive the situation of the medicinal pill, and at the same time control the pill furnace to ensure that the medicinal pill could be successfully refined.
A few days ago, Lu Xuan had successfully refined a cauldron of pills of the third and fourth grade of the Human Level. Today, he was going to try the Spirit Concentration Pill of the fifth grade of the Human Level in one go.
In the perception of Lu Xuan's divine sense, a group of spiritual materials that were thrown into the Taiyi Cauldron began to turn into powder under the burning of the flame. Then, he used his soul force to control the powder, and the pile of powder began to gradually gather together. The flame continued to burn and roll, and the pile of powder also continued to condense. Under the effect of the hot flame, it gradually melted into the shape of four medicinal pills.
Lu Xuan revealed a slight joy in his heart. He did not expect that he would actually slowly find the feeling and the method to successfully refine a Human Level Fifth Grade Medicinal Pill on his first try. Although the detailed notes in the Firmament Pill Book helped him a lot, if he wanted to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, he did not know how many times he would fail before he could find the knack.
But at this moment, a golden figure ran in quickly, and A 'Li shouted excitedly, "Xuan, Xuan, I will bring you to a good place."
Lu Xuan's guarded mind could not help but be slightly shaken because of the arrival of A 'Li, and a flaw appeared in his control of the flame. He only heard a bang from the Taiyi Cauldron, and when Lu Xuan looked again, the strong flame had instantly turned the four Spirit Gathering Pills that were about to be formed into ashes …
"A 'Li! I said don't disturb me when I'm refining pills! " Lu Xuan aggressively looked for trouble with A 'Li. This was a batch of Human Level Fifth Grade Medicinal Pills that he had successfully refined, and it was actually destroyed just like that!
"Uh, uh, I didn't mean to. Besides, you can't refine anything good anyway." A 'Li's eyes kept turning, and she looked at Lu Xuan guiltily.
Lu Xuan smiled coldly and stared at A 'Li, "If I can't refine anything good, then who was the one who secretly ate those two batches of medicinal pills previously?"
That's right, the only two batches of medicinal pills that Lu Xuan had successfully refined were all eaten by the gluttonous fellow, A 'Li.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me? If you don't have a suitable reason, I will punish you by not eating meat for three days." Lu Xuan felt that he had to punish A 'Li, or else he would be letting down this batch of medicinal pills.
Hearing that she was not allowed to eat meat for three days, A 'Li suddenly became anxious, and she quickly said, "Xuan, this is really a good thing. Hehe, I found a good place, come with me."
Lu Xuan was a little curious when he heard this. Could it be that there was a good place in this Heavenly Emperor Palace that he didn't know about? He immediately closed the Taiyi Cauldron and followed A 'Li out.
A 'Li lay on Lu Xuan's shoulder and constantly gave him directions. Turn left, turn right, go straight …
Not long after, Lu Xuan arrived in front of a room. The door was not closed tightly, and he didn't know if it was A 'Li who opened it.
"I remember that this is an ordinary room. Why is it so fragrant?" Lu Xuan was puzzled.
A 'Li didn't answer and just urged, "Let's go in quickly. You will know when you go in."
Lu Xuan was not worried about Little Tanuki, so he pushed open the door and walked in. However, to his surprise, the room was shrouded in misty water vapor, making it extremely blurry. He could even faintly hear the sound of rushing water. However, Lu Xuan's eyesight was far better than that of ordinary people, so he was able to see a bit of what was going on.
At this moment, a familiar voice with vigilance came over, "Who is it?"
It turned out that Ruo Xiangyi was inside. Lu Xuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He walked towards her and said, "It's me."
But then, Lu Xuan discovered that something was wrong. Because through the mist, he actually saw Ruo Xiangyi lying naked in a bathtub!
"Lu Xuan! You stinking rogue! "Ruo Xiangyi's scream resounded throughout the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
