……

In the basement fire room of Jiading, the air was dry and hot, the heat wave was billowing, and the indoor temperature was extremely high.

Zhao Sheng concentrated on it, and under the precise control of his spiritual consciousness, the blue ground fire sprayed out from the mouth of the eight-way clam changed from thick to thin to finger-thick, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron also slowly floated up, shrinking in size from the size of the water tank. It was as big as a wine jar, and slowly rotated under the fire of the ground.

As time passed, Zhao Sheng carefully added all kinds of elixir, including dead wood like roots, processed green jade powder and transparent slurry, etc.

The step of smelting medicinal properties is the most likely step in alchemy to get out of control, because the alchemy reaction is the most violent, and he cannot be careless.

This is the fourth time he has refined the second-order elixir, the Handove Spirit Pill. The first three times he has failed, but this time it seems that there is hope for success.

Half an hour later, a trace of medicinal fragrance emanated from the Nine Dragon Cauldron, which lifted people's spirits.

But Zhao Sheng knew that before adding the main medicine, it was still too early to produce the pill.

At least the main medicine and the elixir can be fused successfully, and only when the elixir is condensed can there be any hope of success.

The refining of second-order spirit pills is more difficult than first-order spirit pills, on average, it is more than ten times more difficult, except for a few special spirit pills.

Even a genius like Zhao Sheng with extraordinary understanding and talent failed many times in a row when refining the second-order panacea.

Of course, this may be the reason for his own groping and experimentation.

It is very difficult to refine a second-order panacea, but no matter how difficult it is, is it as difficult as building a foundation?
Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng cheered up, and the aura of the Nine Dragon Cauldron under the control of his spiritual consciousness flickered, which seemed a little dazzling.

Gradually, the ground fire began to change from thin to thick, and finally even reached the point where the mouth of the bowl was thick. The ground fire wrapped the entire Jiulong Ding in the flames,
At first glance, the Nine Dragon Cauldron seemed to be a ball of fire, and the fragrance of the medicine was roasted with the flames, becoming more and more intense.

Another hour passed, and the strong medicinal fragrance gathered on the top of the stone chamber, lingering for a long time, and finally formed a small off-white pill cloud.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his right hand, a fist-sized, blue crystal gelatinous dove brain, dehydrated, flew out and fell into the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

boom!
The Jiulong Cauldron trembled for a while, a large cloud of blue smoke spewed out from the edge of the furnace cover, and the medicinal fragrance of the stone chamber became stronger, but a bit of bone-chilling chill suddenly surged in the hot and dry air.

Zhao Sheng's spiritual consciousness exploded with all his strength, and the afterimages of the alchemy in his hand were shot out. A series of bright lights flashed into the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and he controlled the alchemy to complete the final alchemy.

At this time, even a fool would know that this alchemy has reached the most critical moment.

"For me, Ning!"

After a while, Zhao Sheng shouted loudly, the light in his eyes soared, and his hands almost became an afterimage.

Bang bang bang!
Amidst a burst of crackling sound, as the scorched smell came out, a joyful smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Sheng's face.

Snapped!
A light blue elixir suddenly jumped out of the cauldron, and under the control of spiritual consciousness, it flew in front of Zhao Sheng in a whirl, and fell into the prepared elixir bottle with a ding.

The second-order cold dove marrow elixir is ready!
With a thought in Zhao Sheng's mind, all eight vents were closed immediately, and the ground fire dissipated.

He stretched out his hand, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron flew to him from the alchemy platform.

Zhao Sheng looked down at the cauldron, and saw a piece of charred black medicine dregs at the bottom of the cauldron. Inside the medicine dregs, there were two pieces of burnt pills mixed with black and blue. It looked like a waste pill that hadn't been condensed yet!

Alas, after all, it was only a little bit close!
Zhao Sheng shook his head, secretly thinking it's a pity.

After thinking about it, he took out the two waste pills from the tripod and put them in a jade box.

Even if it is a waste pill, it is also of great research value, and Zhao Sheng is reluctant to throw it away for nothing.

After finishing these, Zhao Sheng sat up in meditation on the futon, while slowly recovering his mind, while secretly summing up his alchemy experience.

It was not until half an hour later that he opened his eyes that he started alchemy again.

The same steps, the same raw material powder, and the same method of fire control, but unfortunately, this time the problem lies in the second step, and the refinement of Danji failed.

The reason for the failure was that the elixir hadn't been processed properly, and some impurities still remained.

This time Zhao Sheng had no expression on his face, and after he adjusted his mind and spiritual power, he silently started the sixth furnace.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Sheng came out of the tunnel under the Wanxia Peak with a calm expression. If someone who is observant sees him like this, he will definitely see a trace of joy and heartache under Zhao Sheng's seemingly calm expression.

I am delighted because the success rate of the second-order cold dove marrow elixir has exceeded [-]%, and the average number of elixir is more than three.

As for heartache.

The nearly fifty alchemy medicinal materials he prepared were all burned up, costing more than [-] spirit stones.

In the end, I got only 25 dove pulp pills, worth about [-] spirit stones.

At this time, the armored man guarding the passage saw Zhao Sheng coming out of the passage, his expression was startled at first, but then he became excited in a blink of an eye.

"Congratulations, senior, for improving his alchemy!" The big man said congratulatoryly with courage.

Zhao Sheng stopped, and popped out a spirit stone with his fingers, and it fell into the big man's hand precisely.

"San Chong, the alchemist will send you here to guard the gate, it's a bit of a shame! Why don't you come here with me?"

Two years, neither short nor long.

It was enough to make Zhao Sheng aware of the extraordinaryness of the armored man.

The armored man's real name is Li Sanchong. Although he has a huge body and a fierce face, his head is not very bright, but his eyesight is extremely amazing, and he can be called a master of micro-expressions.

Zhao Sheng even knew that this person was a master of martial arts, so he should be in the half-step supernatural state, which is almost the same as his third life.

Even if such an outstanding martial arts master is not a cultivator, he should not be reduced to guarding the gate.

Zhao Sheng cherishes talent, so he opened his mouth to solicit the other party.

Li Sanzhong clasped his fists together and said seriously: "Thanks to senior, Sanzhong is very grateful. But I can go with you. I was raised by my master since I was a child. I will go wherever the old man goes. I will do whatever he asks me to do. I listen to my master."

Zhao Sheng looked at the other party's serious expression, shook his head, and gave up the idea of ​​recruiting this person.

Li Sanzhong's master is a relative of a second-rank alchemist in the Alchemy Association.

In other words, Li Sanzhong was probably sent here specially, and the purpose may not be pure, and he should have some kind of heavy responsibility.
