Recently, the Qihuang Sect's Patriarch Jin Dan, Cheng Xiangxu, had frequently mobilized a large amount of the sect's resources. He even took up some of the sect's original quotas. The Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect were suffering unspeakably. Many of them had to go out and find spiritual herbs to make up for the lack of resources. Even the Qihuang Sect's Sect Leader was alarmed and personally asked about this matter.
No one expected that after chatting with Cheng Xiangxu for a few hours, the Sect Leader would directly run to the Qihuang Sect's material warehouse and order that all supplies would be based on Cheng Xiangxu's request. Those who didn't know would think that the two Patriarchs were up to something big. In any case, Yi Tian and Zhu Chen understood that the Qihuang Sect couldn't afford to offend the Corpse School. The Sect Leader also wanted to settle this matter once and for all.
Instead, Cheng Xiangxu ordered the two of them to give all the Qiankun Pills they refined to the sect in the future to make up for the shortage of materials this time. Moreover, the two of them were only given a year to cooperate. If they couldn't settle it after a year, they would have to be prepared to face the wrath of Patriarch Jin Dan.
This time, the most innocent person was Zhu Xin. Her opinion was directly ignored in the conversation between the three of them. Moreover, she was forcefully dragged into this matter. When Zhu Chen brought his sister over, Yi Tian saw that she was extremely unwilling. Fortunately, Cheng Xiangxu reprimanded her from the side. Only then did Zhu Xin reluctantly respond, "I understand, Master. I will do my best to cooperate with him."
Half a month later, Cheng Xiangxu's cave residence was shrouded in tribulation clouds. The thunder tribulation in the sky didn't seem to be a pill tribulation. Instead, it seemed to be a spiritual weapon tribulation. Some busybodies kept asking if Patriarch Cheng had recently changed his profession to refining weapons. Since he could refine level-five spiritual weapons, his refining skills weren't much worse than his alchemy skills.
On the other hand, the Sect Master's face was filled with excitement. The Qihuang Sect did not have many level 5 pill furnaces to begin with. Once this thing was used up, it would belong to the sect. It would definitely be useful in the future. While he was feeling satisfied, he was also secretly grumbling about how his junior brother had recklessly agreed to Ke Manzi's request. In his heart, he cursed the two of them.
Two months later, more and more Qiankun Pills appeared in the Qihuang Sect's Elixir Storehouse. First, there were more than ten middle-grade Elixir Pills. Zhu Chen was the one who submitted all the Elixir Pills. Now, all the Elixir Pills were counted as his and Zhu Xin's contributions to the sect. In the following month, the quality of the Qiankun Pills produced became better and better. When the Upper Grade Pills appeared, the Sect Leader directly informed the Pill Room Deacon to take out all the Middle Grade Pills for auction. The Spirit Stones obtained from the auction were used to make up for the shortage of materials in the warehouse.
Inside Cheng Xiangxu's Immortal's Cave, there were herbs used to refine the Heaven and Earth Pill everywhere. Zhu Chen was called over as an assistant, and he was responsible for all the chores and sorting of the herbs. Yi Tian and Zhu Xin sat in front of the "Three Dragons Converging Head Furnace" and cooperated with each other to refine Elixir Pills day and night. Zhu Xin cultivated a kind of Fire Seed called the "Chilling Spirit Cold Fire", which was a good match for Yi Tian's half-baked "Scarlet Yang True Fire".
In fact, Yi Tian also had no other choice. His "Profound Yang True Fire" was too strong, and he couldn't always show it to others. Therefore, he took a step back and cultivated the "Scarlet Yang True Fire" to shut Cheng Xiangxu's mouth. He didn't expect the effect to be so good. The strength of the "Scarlet Yang True Fire" and Zhu Xin's Fire Seed matched well. Unfortunately, Zhu Xin was still a little worse than Liu Piaopao. The two of them continuously refined for a month before they could achieve the initial synchronization. Moreover, they still had to rely on Yi Tian to maintain the balance.
However, just this speed of progress made Cheng Xiangxu so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. At this rate, in just a few more months, the three of them could start refining at the same time. Looking at the "Three Dragons Converging Head Furnace", Cheng Xiangxu was also very happy. Although he also had a Tier 5 Alchemy Furnace, who would complain about having more good things?
After passing the Spirit Tool Tribulation, he touched the alchemy furnace. There were three handles on the body of the furnace, each in the shape of a dragon. There was a main fire channel left for him, and Yi Tian and Zhu Xin's Spiritual Fire entered the alchemy furnace from the two auxiliary channels. After opening the alchemy furnace, there was also a universe inside. The furnace was distributed in a spiral shape. The main fire channel could reach the core of the furnace, and the two auxiliary channels were intertwined in a spiral. The two flames could directly alternate along the spiral. This way, when controlling the fire, there was a lot less unnecessary trouble.
It wasn't until half a year later that Yi Tian and Zhu Xin could guarantee that every time they refined, and more than 80% of them would be High Grade Pills. The rest was basically caused by Zhu Xin's lack of spiritual power. Because of this, Cheng Xiangxu scolded her a lot. When the three of them refined, they had to at least ensure that the pills were High Grade Pills. It would be best if it was like the Best Grade Pill that appeared with Yi Tian. That way, after Ke Zhihao took it, it wouldn't be affected by the effects of the pill when he tried to break through to the Jin Dan.
Yi Tian took advantage of the refining process to stuff four or five Middle Grade Pills and two High Grade Pills into his storage bag. Cheng Xiangxu also pretended not to see it. In any case, these things were public goods. The pills that were auctioned off had already been paid back. As long as Yi Tian didn't go too far, it would be fine.
During this period of time, Cheng Xiangxu's mood was not good. The two disciples could only tuck their tails between their legs and let their master scold them, but they didn't dare to talk back. On the other hand, Yi Tian had a calm appearance. He had the 'Ten Thousand Spirit Medicines' and the Jin Dan's pill recipe in his pocket. Cheng Xiangxu didn't care. When the three of them refined, Yi Tian would definitely be able to see the process of refining the Jin Dan. This was a benefit that couldn't be stopped.
In the past half a year, Yi Tian hadn't been idle. He had read through the 'Ten Thousand Spirit Medicines' a few times and found clues about the seed. It was actually the seed of the 'Mysterious Sky Purple Gold Gourd'. Unfortunately, it would take two to three hundred years to grow this thing. If he wanted to carry it with him, in addition to finding special soil, he would have to use a special flower pot to store it in a spirit plant bracelet.
Now that Yi Tian didn't have any conditions, he could only give up. This matter had to be done slowly. However, there were a lot of materials left over from refining the pill furnace. Yi Tian also followed the method in the 'Ten Thousand Spirit Plants' to refine a spirit plant bracelet. He crushed a few mid grade spirit stones and mixed them with soil and placed them in a spirit plant flower pot.
After refining four or five high grade pills, Cheng Xiangxu also joined in the refining process. The three of them practiced for nearly half a month before they had a tacit understanding. After that, Cheng Xiangxu let the two of them have a good rest. Yi Tian knew that this was the final preparation. Everyone was ready. As long as everyone was ready, they would start refining the 'Universe Knot Jin Dan'.
After ten days of recuperation, Yi Tian and Zhu Xin woke up from their meditation when they heard Zhu Chen's call. When they looked up, they saw Cheng Xiangxu walking in from the entrance of the cave. Behind him was a burly middle-aged man with a fiendish expression. Behind him was a sickly young man who looked similar to Yi Tian.
They heard Zhu Chen whisper, "This is Ke Manzi and Ke Zhihao." Before the two of them could react, they saw Ke Manzi glance at Zhu Chen. It was clear that the sound transmission just now was no secret to him. Then, Ke Manzi didn't say much and directly found a place to sit down in the cave. Ke Zhihao also sat down behind him.
At this time, Cheng Xiangxu opened his mouth and said to Yi Tian and Zhu Xin, "Are you two ready?"
Yi Tian only nodded his head, and Zhu Xin also signaled that they were ready. Cheng Xiangxu waved his hand and asked Zhu Chen to first sort the herbs and then place them in the designated position. Then he directed Yi Tian and Zhu Xin to sit facing each other while he sat in the center of the pill furnace.
A spark flashed from his fingertips and Cheng Xiangxu took the lead. Although his success rate of refining the Jin Dan was only 70% to 80%, it was already the highest among the Qihuang Sect's Jin Dan stage pill refiners. Even the Qihuang Sect's Sect Master couldn't compare. It was because of this that Ke Manzi came to invite him. After the Universe Knot Jin Dan was formed, the best way to preserve its medicinal effect was to immediately take it. For Ke Zhihao, there were only benefits and no harm. Ke Manzi also spent a lot of money this time. He actually directly spent a huge amount of spirit stones and agreed to a condition to rent a Jin Dan level cave in the Medicine Valley for his grandson to use when he formed his core.
At the side, Yi Tian and Zhu Xin didn't dare to be negligent. According to the order they practiced before, they lit the fire and raised the furnace. Three balls of flame were poured into the pill furnace through the three openings, instantly illuminating the pill furnace with three colors: red, yellow, and white. Yi Tian and Zhu Xin's red and white flames revolved and merged around the pill furnace, layer by layer. Cheng Xiangxu's yellow flame stayed in the center area, and the temperature of the three people's flames also maintained a balance.
As Cheng Xiangxu pointed at the pill furnace, the lid flew into the air. The three of them immediately and accurately placed the materials in their hands into the designated position of the alchemical furnace. According to the previous arrangement, the alchemical materials were all in place within ten breaths of time. Finally, Cheng Xiangxu placed a Class 5 high-tier Demonic Beast's core into the center of the alchemical furnace. Then, the lid of the furnace slowly closed, sealing the alchemical furnace tightly.
Following that, the three of them started to refine the pills separately. Yi Tian had previous experience, so he was familiar with the process. Zhu Xin was in charge of refining the Universe Pill, while he was trying his best to maintain the balance between the Yin and Yang flames. Instead, it was Cheng Xiangxu's method of refining the Gold Forming Pills and the situation inside the cauldron that caught Yi Tian's attention. He also sent a part of his divine sense into the cauldron to observe the refining of the Gold Forming Pills.
On the side, Zhu Chen took this opportunity to observe his master Cheng Xiangxu's refining technique. This kind of opportunity was rare. He also wanted to practice the Jin Dan in the future. How could he let go of this rare opportunity to observe?
On the contrary, Ke Manzi was sitting with his eyes closed, looking very calm. Sitting next to him, Ke Zhihao's face was full of excitement and a bit of sadness. This was a big matter related to his Jin Dan path. Perhaps after this matter, he would be able to form the Jin Dan, or perhaps he would once again fall into the cycle of reincarnation.
If one stood outside Cheng Xiangxu's immortal cave, one could see several Qihuang Sect's Jin Dan cultivators, including the Sect Head, anxiously waiting for the result inside. If Cheng Xiangxu did not succeed, they were afraid that Ke Manzi would flip out on the spot. At that time, everyone would not have peace. Moreover, this time, Ke Manzi had brought a million Spirit Stones to the Sect Master. But when he touched that hot storage bracelet, the Sect Master's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. The feeling of being on tenterhooks all day was really unpleasant.
