"Why did you choose so many prescriptions?"
Seeing Lu Xiaotian pick up so many Jade Slips from the ground, the old man was stunned. There were many practitioners in the Divine Cloud Palace who practiced alchemy, but he had never seen a practitioner choose more than a hundred prescriptions at once. The saying "biting off more than one can chew" applied not only to practice, but also to alchemy. More than a hundred kinds of elixirs? Did this guy think he was an intermediate or advanced alchemist? Even in the entire Divine Cloud Palace, there was only one advanced alchemist. The number of intermediate alchemists was less than one hand. And there were more than 20 practitioners in the Divine Cloud Palace in Jin Dan.
"I just came out of the Forbidden Scarlet Area, so I still have some Spirit Stones. I'll make a copy of all the prescriptions I want at once, so that I won't have to come here all the time."
Lu Xiaotian explained. He wanted to know what secrets were hidden in those black scales, but a man's wealth was his own ruin. Even if they were from the same sect, he would not let this stooped old man know that he had several black scales on him. A treasure that could make a Foundation Establishment cultivator so ecstatic was definitely not simple.
"I see." The old man nodded. Since he came out of the Forbidden Scarlet Area, he could be considered a survivor of a disaster, so it was normal for him to have a lot of Spirit Stones. Although this kid was a bit of a spendthrift, it did not get in his way.
After paying the Spirit Stones and making a copy of all the prescriptions, Lu Xiaotian returned to Wu Wenbin's Shi Yun Peak. At the foot of Shi Yun Peak, he met a middle-aged couple who looked very defeated. The woman was crying. The middle-aged man was muttering Ze 'er. He looked very similar to Cheng Ze, who was defeated by Luo Qian more than a year ago in the Gladiator Arena.
With just a cursory glance, Lu Xiaotian roughly understood what was going on. Oh Yeon had a cousin who had fought with Luo Qian on the martial arts arena. It seemed that he was trying to win Su Qing's favor. In the end, Cheng Ze was slightly inferior and was defeated by Luo Qian and fell off the martial arts arena. Because Lu Xiaotian didn't pick up Cheng Ze, Oh Yeon, who had rushed over after hearing the news, bore a grudge against him. This couple was obviously Cheng Ze's parents. However, when he came to Shi Yun Feng with Oh Yeon, he learned that Cheng Ze had also entered the Bloody Forbidden Area, but he did not make it out alive. The pain in the hearts of the couple was unavoidable.
Lu Xiaotian shook his head. This couple was not the only ones who had lost their loved ones. If they, who were rogue cultivators, died, who would grieve for them? Those family members who were far away in the secular world might not even be able to hear from them.
After returning to the cave, Lu Xiaotian took out the copied pill recipes and roughly looked through them. He suddenly slapped his forehead. "I forgot that refining higher grade pills requires a better alchemy furnace."
Lu Xiaotian took out the original alchemy furnace and smiled bitterly. Although there was still some time before he could receive the Foundation Establishment Pill, it was obviously not appropriate to deal with some trivial matters at this time. It was almost there, so he just had to make do with it. If he couldn't refine higher grade pills, then he would refine lower grade pills. Anyway, there were a lot of spiritual herbs in the barrier that could be used to refine pills for Qi Condensation cultivators. He couldn't just throw these spiritual herbs away. If he sold them directly, people would suspect where these spiritual herbs came from.
There were still some Purple Spiritual Herbs, so he would refine Qi Gathering Pills first. Lu Xiaotian threw the Purple Spiritual Herbs and the other spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace in order. During this time, he remembered that he had read about the experiences of other alchemists in the Library Hall. Most alchemists could only follow the steps in the alchemy recipe. But a skilled alchemist could increase the power of the fire to accelerate the melting of the spiritual herbs in the alchemy furnace, which could save a lot of time in refining pills.
Of course, this method of refining pills was undoubtedly several times more difficult than refining pills step by step, or even more than ten times. It required the alchemist to control the power of the fire to an extremely demanding degree. The slightest carelessness could result in a useless pill due to the excessive power of the fire. Because the power of the fire was too great, the time needed to operate the spiritual herbs would also become shorter, so there was no room for mistakes.
Lu Xiaotian had long been familiar with the refining of Qi Gathering Pills. After making a decision, he took out a large amount of bamboo charcoal. He began to refine the pills.
Due to the increase in the amount of bamboo charcoal, the power of the fire was twice as strong as before, and the time it took for the Purple Spiritual Herbs to melt in the alchemy furnace was greatly shortened.
Puff — —
Not long after, a thick black smoke emerged from the alchemy furnace.
He cleaned the alchemy furnace and reignited the fire.
After repeating this process for more than ten days, an explosion echoed in the cave. The leopard, who had been guarding the cave entrance, was startled. The leopard stuck his head out and looked inside. A young man with a face full of soot rushed out from inside.
The young man coughed violently a few times and laughed with his hands on his waist.
"Lu, you are Brother Lu?" The forest on the small mountain where Lu Xiaotian had built his cave residence was quite dense, and the trees provided shade. Oh Yeon turned a few corners and arrived not far from the cave residence. When she saw the black-faced Lu Xiaotian, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"What's the matter? Is something the matter?" Lu Xiaotian composed himself and looked at Oh Yeon in astonishment. They hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. Oh Yeon shouldn't have been unable to recognize him.
"Brother Lu, your face." Oh Yeon covered her mouth and laughed. She looked at Lu Xiaotian with a curious expression.
"What's wrong with my face?" Lu Xiaotian was a little puzzled.
Oh Yeon pursed her lips and took out a mirror to look at Lu Xiaotian. Lu Xiaotian looked at himself in the mirror and saw that his face was full of soot. If one wasn't familiar with him, it would be difficult to recognize him.
"There was a bit of trouble in the alchemy. Sorry for making a fool of myself." Lu Xiaotian understood at this time and was embarrassed.
"What's there to laugh at? Brother Lu is difficult to find a match among cultivators of the same level. However, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to know everything. Moreover, alchemy can't be rushed. If you want to improve it, it is more troublesome than improving your cultivation. You also need a huge amount of financial support. However, I believe that if Brother Lu perseveres, your alchemy skills will definitely improve. "Oh Yeon saw that Lu Xiaotian had failed and was afraid that he would be in a bad mood, so she comforted him.
"Uh, this … okay." Lu Xiaotian didn't know how to say it. The actual situation was naturally not as simple as it looked. However, he didn't need to tell Oh Yeon too much about his attainments in alchemy.
"By the way, Brother Lu, half a month has passed. Today is the day to go to the main hall of the Spirit Firmament Palace to receive the Foundation-Building Elixir. You didn't forget, did you?" Oh Yeon thought of the main purpose of this trip.
"Yes, I almost missed the time. Wait for me for a while. I need to change my clothes." Lu Xiaotian suddenly realized.
After 30 minutes, Lu Xiaotian and Oh Yeon, who had changed into a blue cultivator's robe, each got on a spiritual bird and rushed to the main hall of the Spirit Firmament Palace.
Lu Xiaotian felt refreshed as the wind filled with World Energy blew against him. With his Alchemy skills, it was naturally impossible for his Alchemy Furnace to explode for no reason. His thoughts drifted. The scene of alchemy a few days ago was still vivid in his mind. In fact, when he increased the power of the alchemy furnace, hundreds of furnaces of Qi-gathering Elixirs had been ruined.
If it had been in the past, with so many failures in a row, no matter how determined he was, he would inevitably have some fluctuations and a little frustration in his heart. However, the purpose of alchemy this time was completely to calm his mind. He didn't care about the rate of producing elixirs.
Even Lu Xiaotian didn't realize that this was the first time he was refining elixirs with a normal heart, without any joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. He repeatedly threw in spiritual herbs, refined elixirs, and cleaned the furnace. There were no emotional fluctuations.
In this case, he actually entered a very empty state, similar to the epiphany that occurred during cultivation. Lu Xiaotian didn't remember when he had successfully produced elixirs, and it was a furnace of the best Qi-gathering Elixir. Since the first furnace of the best Qi-gathering Elixir, the next several furnaces of Qi-gathering Elixir were all of the best quality. In the past, if he wanted to refine the best quality elixirs, luck also played a large role. He had never had a situation like this where he could refine the best quality elixirs in several furnaces.
If he had been refining elixirs with the purpose of refining elixirs, he would have been happy. However, after entering this empty state, Lu Xiaotian's mood did not fluctuate much at this time, and he began to refine the mysterious dew pill for the middle stage of the Qi Refining stage. He still used several times the firepower in the past. This time, the process was much smoother than with the Qi-gathering Elixir. He only ruined a few furnaces, and the elixirs were smoothly produced, and it was the best quality mysterious dew pill. The situation was somewhat similar to the last time. After refining several furnaces of the best quality mysterious dew pill, he began to refine the black flower pill. This time, it was even smoother than refining the mysterious dew pill. It seemed that the longer he entered this empty state, the more he felt refining elixirs.
However, because the quality of the alchemy furnace was not enough to support the refining of higher level elixirs, he refined several kinds of elixirs used in the Qi Refining Great Perfection stage. Most of them were the black flower pill, and almost all the elixirs produced were the best quality.
Lu Xiaotian himself forgot how many days had passed, until later, he wanted to try the elixirs used in the Foundation Establishment stage, the top quality elixir used in the early Foundation Establishment stage, the "Peiyuan Dan".
Because of the quality of the alchemy furnace, he began to refine it with the usual firepower. After several failures, the elixir was about to be formed. Just when he was about to open the furnace and take out the elixir, the alchemy furnace reached its limit and could no longer hold it. It exploded, and the almost formed Peiyuan Dan naturally exploded into slag. However, from the medicinal fragrance before, Lu Xiaotian could be sure that the elixir produced was at least a top grade elixir.
Even if it was a primary alchemist, being able to refine one out of several furnaces of elixirs was definitely not the worst level. As for the top grade Peiyuan Dan, it required a lot of luck.
He now felt that his control of the firepower had reached a level that was difficult to achieve before. Although he had not successfully refined a furnace of Peiyuan Dan, Lu Xiaotian was confident that as long as he was given a suitable alchemy furnace, he would be able to refine the elixir, and the success rate would not be low.
Unfortunately, the alchemy furnace exploded. If he had persisted for a few more days, maybe he could have become an intermediate alchemist, or even a high-level alchemist. Lu Xiaotian smacked his lips. What he didn't know was that the empty state of alchemy was very rare for an alchemist. Many cultivators who engaged in alchemy might not be able to enter this state in their lifetime.
As for the large number of spirit grade elixirs piled up in the barrier, even if they were just elixirs used by Qi Refining cultivators, it was still a wealth that Foundation Establishment cultivators could not reach. It was an unexpected surprise, but it would be more troublesome if he wanted to make a move later. His alchemy skills had improved, and after he entered the Foundation Establishment realm, there would be no problem with the supply of elixirs, so his future cultivation would not be too slow. Lu Xiaotian stretched his body. It seemed that the future situation would not be too bad.
"Brother Lu, we're here." Several feet away, Oh Yeon reminded Lu Xiaotian. She felt that it was a bit strange. It seemed that Lu Xiaotian's mind had wandered off a lot today. This kind of situation was something that he would never see in the Bloody Forbidden Area.
The ones in charge of the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills were still Lei Wantian and Huo Yuming. There was also another Jin Dan cultivator, Su Qing's grandfather.
Oh Yeon originally thought that she had arrived early, but when she arrived, almost all the other Qi Refining cultivators had already arrived. With so many people looking back, she could not help but feel a bit embarrassed.
Lu Xiaotian touched his nose. In fact, he could not blame Oh Yeon for this. If she had not come to find him and delayed some time, even if they were not early, they would definitely be in the middle. However, they were still not late. It could only be said that these Qi Refining cultivators' desire for Foundation Establishment Pills had reached a certain level. Many of them were so excited that they could not sleep all night.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, we'll start distributing Foundation Establishment Pills. Of course, before we distribute the Foundation Establishment Pills, there are some things that I must warn you about. Because of your efforts, our Divine Firmament Palace has been in the limelight this time. Even the spiritual objects obtained by the Ancient Sword Sect and the Blue Pill Palace paled in comparison. The spiritual objects you obtained have contributed a lot to the school. It was precisely because some disciples obtained more spiritual objects that they obtained a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills. Apart from meeting their needs, there might be some extra. Foundation Establishment Pills are related to the rise and fall of a school. Therefore, they must not be allowed to flow to other schools. After you build your foundation, if you have extra Foundation Establishment Pills, you must report them to the Divine Firmament Palace. You are allowed to trade them in our Divine Firmament Palace. However, if we find that they have fallen into the hands of other schools, our Divine Firmament Palace will directly abolish their cultivation and expel them from the Divine Firmament Palace. You must bear this in mind! "
"Disciples will bear this in mind." All the Qi Refining disciples felt a chill in their hearts and responded loudly. Facing the warning of Great Ancestor Jin Dan, they did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. Even if they had already built their foundation, in front of Great Ancestor Jin Dan, they still did not have the slightest possibility of resistance.
On the stage, Huo Yuming and Lei Wantian said a few more words, then they began to distribute Foundation Establishment Pills. Lu Xiaotian, the outlier, was naturally the first to receive the pills. Su Hongchou looked at Lu Xiaotian again. In the past few days, his granddaughter had talked about this young man many times, but it seemed to be the same as the information he knew. In fact, the strength of a disciple in the Qi Refining stage was not important to these Great Ancestors of Jin Dan. What they valued was potential. If a disciple had the potential to enter the Jin Dan stage, they would pay special attention to him. Otherwise, a disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage would be the limit. There were hundreds of such disciples in the Divine Firmament Palace. Compared to the Qi Refining disciples, they were naturally superior, but in the eyes of Great Ancestor Jin Dan, they were not worth much.
