Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 149

A large number of monks sat on the ground around the square, and there were people everywhere on the roof.

There were also streams of escaping light roaring from all around, all of them were disciples of Yuqing Palace who had received the news and came to see the excitement.

There are many old men with white beards among them, each of them looks like a fairy, but they are blocked by the restriction that has been activated above the alchemy hall, so they can only stand outside and watch from a distance.

Han Qing lit the fire, and after waiting for the spiritual fire to burn stably, he threw in the first elixir with his spiritual sense.

There was another slight commotion among the onlookers, and soon calm again.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes fell on the two people in the field.

But Xu Chen still looked at the prescription without moving, and occasionally opened his eyes to fiddle with the messy elixir again, so naturally it also caused a slight commotion, but most of them were ridicules.

Soon after a stick of incense passed, Han Qing began to refine the second elixir.

Xu Chen was still looking at the alchemy formula, and the alchemy furnace was empty in front of him.

After another stick of incense passed, Han Qing began to refine the third elixir.

Xu Chen was still unmoved, with Yu Jian pressed to the center of his eyebrows with a serious expression on his face.

Although the atmosphere was quiet, it became extremely relaxed.

All the disciples of Yuqing Palace breathed a sigh of relief, and even a row of elders and deacons who were impartial supervisors began to show smiles on their faces.

In the main hall, Biyunzi's spiritual consciousness was like a torch, piercing through the audience, and his ruddy face gradually showed a trace of relaxation and a smile.

It's not that he looks down on Xu Chen, it's that he really looks down on this fledgling little monk from another faction.

Although True Monarch Baiyun has spoken orders, he is the elder of Dantang after all. Not weak enough to reach the Great Consummation of the Alchemy Academy. Apart from their different identities, he has not yet reached the point of submissive to True Monarch Baiyun. After all, the Alchemy Realm is already the top strength in the fairy world, and every monk has his own pride.

Through such a competition, he can not only win back six bottles of Taiyuan Entering Soul Pill, but also save face for Yuqing Palace.

As for whether Xu Chen would help True Monarch Baiyun in alchemy from now on, that was none of his business. If he could get six bottles of pills for Yuqing Palace, even the other elders could not blame him.

The scene was very quiet, and occasionally a cough was heard, but the atmosphere was rather lively. Many monks were secretly communicating with each other through sound transmission.

Xu Chen didn't care about the changes in the outside world.

He is now using his experience in refining equipment to concentrate on repeatedly simulating and refining the formula of the Seven Gods Pill in his mind, and at the same time splitting and reorganizing it according to the medicine and the five elements.

It was not until Han Qing started to refine the seventh elixir that an hour had passed before Xu Chen had a clear breakdown of the formula of the Seven God Pill in his mind, and felt that there was basically nothing wrong with it. Only then did he take out the alchemy furnace.

With a bang, a huge bronze-colored alchemy furnace hit the ground, shaking Han Qing, who was not far away, who was concentrating on practicing alchemy, and the spiritual fire almost lost control.

"Shameless!" There were voices one after another from the crowd of onlookers.

Without sadness or joy, Xu Chen threw three spirit stones into the furnace, put his hands on the vitality channel and began to input vitality.

Soon as the spiritual fire was ignited, the various formations inside the pill furnace also began to flash colorful lights.

After about half a stick of incense, Xu Chen's spiritual consciousness was attracted, and at the same time, the three elixir fell into the pill furnace.

"Wow, this guy is crazy!" There was a sudden commotion at the scene.

Han Qing couldn't help turning his head to glance at Xu Chen, but Biyunzi's old and thick voice sounded in his ears: "What are you looking at, concentrate on alchemy!"

So Han Qing had to forcefully control his mind to take care of the alchemy furnace, but his mood was in a mess, both excited and surprised, but also a little frightened.

The second-grade top-level elixir, the elixir used is naturally the second-level top-level spiritual material, and there are even a few of them that only need enough years to reach the third-level elixir.

With the strength of a monk in the True Yuan Realm, generally speaking, he can only refine one medicine at a time. Of course, it is not impossible for those with strong spiritual consciousness in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm to refine two and three flavors at once.

But because the second-order top-level elixir is already relatively cherished and has a high value, so in the alchemy hall, except for the second elder, almost all the disciples and grandchildren of the true yuan realm can only practice slowly and honestly. Refining several things at the same time, you will definitely be scolded bloody in the end.

This is not a question of strength, but a question of attitude.

As long as Han Qing follows the alchemy formula under the secret command of the second elder, and succeeds in refining the elixir step by step in strict accordance with the alchemy formula, he will basically win the bet, and the subsequent links of combining pills, dividing pills and raising pills will all be difficult. It's not too difficult, and it's not much different from other second-grade panacea.

However, Xu Chen seemed to be trying to catch up with his progress by refining the three-flavored elixir at once. Although Han Qing thought he could do it, there was a high chance of making mistakes in his busy schedule. There were only three ingredients in total, and there were still a few Flavor is very difficult to refine, so if the speed is increased regardless of the consequences, the chance of refining failure will also double.

There are more than 40 herbs in total, and it will take at least one day and night to completely refine them. It requires an extremely powerful soul and vitality to support them to the end. Stability is the most important thing.

Therefore, Han Qing was very worried that Xu Chen would hurt himself by setting up a fryer.

As the elixir was put into the furnace, Xu Chen's whole mind sank into the furnace in an instant without distraction.

This three-flavor elixir is a combination of mild medicinal properties carefully selected by him. The furnace temperature required is relatively similar, and the formations used for refining are not conflicting, so they can be controlled without consuming too much extra consciousness and vitality.

He thought to himself that his stable soul and powerful consciousness could handle this situation.

The most important thing was that it was the first time he came into contact with such a complicated high-level elixir, and he didn't have any experience to learn from. It all depended on his boldness. If he didn't combine and refine it in this way, he would have no chance of catching up with Han Qing's progress.

Since it is a betting game, he naturally needs to be more of a gambler mentality.

The three-flavored elixir rolled gently in the light and shadow of the formation, and the spiritual fire released a temperature that throbbed the soul, roasting the elixir in the formation.

As the refining progressed, the three-flavored elixir began to slowly disintegrate from the outside to the inside, most of which were burned to ashes by the spiritual fire, fluttering and falling to the bottom of the furnace, and the remaining essence and aura became clearer, and gradually there was a wave of The medicinal fragrance is emitted from the flue of the furnace hole through the Dan Qi.

Seeing that Xu Chen's refinement seemed to have begun to succeed, the onlookers gradually began to have some commotion again, and many of them showed expressions of disbelief.

Yun Xi tightly grasped Lan You's arm, and whispered next to Lan You's ear: "I'm scared to death, I didn't expect him to survive the refinement!"

Lan You also showed a relaxed expression on her icy face.

She felt her palms sweating nervously.

Trust belongs to trust, but the second-grade top-level elixir is different from the first-grade spirit pills that have been refined before, and it is effortless to refine.

There are more than forty kinds of elixir densely packed, and any one of them needs to be refined with the strength of spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of the real yuan state. If the spirit is not strong enough, it will be useless if it is not careful.

"Look, Senior Brother Han has the eighth medicine."

At this time, Han Qing had finished refining the seventh medicine, and put in the eighth medicine.

And Xu Chen's three-flavored medicine has just begun to exude a medicinal fragrance, and it will take at least one stick of incense before it is fully refined.

Although Xu Chen was concentrating, he was still very clear about the movements of the outside world, but he was not in a hurry.

Alchemy is an extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming job. Don't be in a hurry. It doesn't mean that it will be smooth in the beginning. As more and more medicines are refined, more and more formations are activated in it. The higher the requirements, not only the quantity, but also the precision.

Han Qing's strength in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm was several orders of magnitude worse than Yi Zhen's. Xu Chen believed that the last ten or so elixir would be the biggest test for Han Qing.

He believes that it is not easy for the three elders to successfully refine the Qishen Dan.

Han Qing, a young monk who has only practiced for more than ten years, is under even greater pressure.

Soon a stick of incense passed by, and the refining of the three elixir in the pill furnace had been completed one after another. As soon as Xu Chen's spiritual consciousness was drawn, the three groups of elixir were drawn by the formation to the area above the pill furnace and imprisoned by the formation, and then The three-flavored elixir appeared in the alchemy furnace out of thin air, a new formation was activated, and it began to be refined under the burning and roasting of the spiritual fire.

At this time, there were nearly a thousand monks watching, regardless of inner or outer disciples of Yuqing Hall, as long as they were still at the mountain gate, almost all of them came, and the square in front of the alchemy hall was completely surrounded by water.

Seeing Xu Chen's second attack with the three-flavored elixir, the onlookers were once again in a commotion, but this time everyone's emotions were more solemn, and the sarcasm was much less.

Time kept passing, and another moment passed in the blink of an eye. Han Qing had already started refining the ninth elixir, but Xu Chen had refined a third of the three herbs.

Although Xu Chen's carefully selected combination method will indeed speed up the refining speed, and his spiritual sense and vitality can also support it, the difficulty of refining the three medicines together is not as simple as three times, but double the difficulty. The requirements for consciousness and the consumption of vitality also doubled in the same proportion, and the time consumed was much longer than that of refining a blind medicine.

It took more than one stick of incense to refine the three medicines at the same time for the first time, and Xu Chen estimated that it would take two sticks of incense to refine the second time.

And as time goes on, with the difference of the elixir, the time required for refining each medicine will gradually become longer.

The same is true for Han Qing. The time to refine the tenth medicine has also been significantly extended, and it took a full stick of incense to complete it.

At this time, Xu Chen was only halfway through refining.

Seeing Han Qing injecting the tenth elixir, Xu Chen hadn't made any movement yet, and the mood of the onlookers relaxed a little, and they began to whisper and communicate with each other through sound transmission.
