Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 70
For the next two days, Xu Chen concentrated on continuing alchemy, and succeeded in two consecutive batches of Xiaoyuan pills without any failure.

There are not many medicinal materials collected at this time, and at most two furnaces can be refined. Xu Chen is going to incorporate the white gas released from the vase into the Xiaoyuan Dan.

After everything was ready, he started another attempt.

Of course, this attempt requires a lot of caution.

After all, the medicinal materials used in Xiao Yuan Pill are already quite precious, so it will still hurt for a long time to waste it.

Taiyuanmen's meager family background cannot withstand waste and toss.

Soon nearly an hour passed, and all the medicinal materials were refined and entered the stage of raising pills.

Xu Chen took a small Yuan pill, stabilized his vitality, touched the blue jade bead with his spiritual sense, and guided the white energy into the pill furnace.

Because he was afraid that the medicinal mud that had been so hard to refine would be burned by the spiritual energy again, Xu Chen was very careful this time, and did not directly integrate the wisp of white air into it, but carefully divided the medicinal mud into two balls, and then blended into one ball separately among.

With the incorporation of the white gas, the spiritual fire in the pill furnace seemed to be activated suddenly, and the flames suddenly surged to envelop the lump of medicinal mud.

Xu Chen was startled, and hurriedly mobilized his vitality, activated the formation and tried his best to suppress the restless spirit fire. After a few breaths, the spirit fire quickly calmed down, and Xu Chen was also slightly relieved. The ointment was not burned, but A lot of mud ash fell down one after another, and the lump of medicinal mud shrunk by one-third.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not all burned!"

Xu Chen couldn't help but wiped the sweat off his forehead, concentrated his mind and concentrated his attention on baking two balls of warming paste.

Zhao Xuan didn't know the internal changes of the alchemy furnace, but thought that Xu Chen was still lacking in vitality, so she hurriedly reminded her in a low voice: "Junior brother, don't be impatient, the previous three furnaces have been successful, even if this process fails, the chance of success is very high. , Ninth Senior Brother has practiced alchemy for many years, and it takes two or three furnaces to succeed in one."

Xu Chen didn't dare to speak at this time, because he found that the spirit fire was particularly agitated by the medicinal mud mixed with white air, and would burn violently if he didn't pay attention, so he could only continuously release vitality to suppress the spirit fire, which led to the consumption of vitality Not to mention soon, the soul is also particularly prone to fatigue, which leads to unstable consciousness, so after sticking to it for a stick of incense, I had to take out a soul bead and stick it between the eyebrows.

With the support of the soul power released by the soul orb, Xu Chen felt much better.

But soon he found that the vitality replenished by Xiaoyuan Dan could hardly keep up with the consumption of alchemy, and the vitality stored in the dantian was being consumed at a speed almost visible to the naked eye in the consciousness, so he had to take out another pill Da Yuan Dan stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhao Xuan: ...

She doesn't know what's going on.

But the price of refining Xiaoyuan pills and eating Dayuan pills is too high, and the pay and harvest are completely out of proportion.

One Great Yuan Pill can be exchanged for at least five Small Yuan Pills.

And this has just started to cultivate the pill, and it will take at least half an hour to produce the pill. If he can't hold on and eat another Great Yuan pill, even if this furnace of pill is refined, he may suffer from vomiting blood.

But Xu Chen had nothing to do at this time.

Although this experiment was a whim, there is now hope of success.

He really wanted to know what kind of effect this elixir with white gas would have after it was successfully refined.

Therefore, even if he had to take another two or three Great Yuan Pills, he would never give up.

So the alchemy atmosphere instantly became weird.

Xu Chen used all his strength to absorb the Great Yuan Pill, and continuously sent the vitality into the pill furnace to maintain the stability of the spirit fire.

At the same time, it is necessary to constantly rely on absorbing the soul power of the soul orb to maintain the stability of the spiritual consciousness.

And you have to concentrate on observing the situation in the pill furnace.

With such a single mind and three uses, even if Xu Chen's spiritual consciousness is as strong as the real yuan realm, he still feels more and more powerless. Finally, after persisting for two sticks of incense, his mental consciousness is in a trance for a moment, causing the aura to be restless and the formation to shake. The lump of medicinal mud that hadn't melted into the white air finally lost control and was instantly burned by the spiritual fire.

Accompanied by a puff of thick smoke billowing from the alchemy furnace, the scorched atmosphere filled the mountainside.

Zhao Xuan exclaimed and stood up, but found that Xu Chen quickly regained his composure after only a moment of shaking, despite the sweat rolling down his forehead, he still concentrated on continuing to make alchemy.

Zhao Xuan was completely confused.

But he didn't dare to bother, this situation should be the failure of alchemy, but Xu Chen never gave up, which means that it seems that he has not completely failed, so he took out a handkerchief and went forward to help Xu Chen wipe off the sweat on his face, and then sat quietly. Continue to wait on the side.

In silence, another two moments passed quickly, and Xu Chen took out a Great Yuan Pill and stuffed it into his mouth again.

At the same time, the medicinal fragrance began to emit from the alchemy furnace.

Zhao Xuan was speechless and surprised, and continued to wipe Xu Chen's sweat with a strange face.

The fragrance of the medicine became stronger and stronger, and a faint bluish-white cloud began to condense above the alchemy furnace.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan couldn't control her emotions anymore, she stood up and stared at the cloud, a legend about alchemy flashed across her mind like lightning.

It is heard that when the spirit pills of the fourth grade and above are successfully refined, some phenomena of heaven and earth will appear.

Because the fourth-grade pill is a real panacea, it already has a trace of spirituality, and it is created by the heaven and earth, so there will be a pill calamity.

But this is only a first-grade alchemy furnace, and this elixir is just a small Yuan Dan that has not yet entered the elixir, how could such a phenomenon occur?
At this time, the aura emanating from Xu Chen's body became more and more intense, and the vitality poured into the alchemy furnace like a tide.

The flaming fire splashed in the pill furnace, like thunder and lightning, releasing fluctuations that made the soul tremble and shake
The pill furnace began to vibrate continuously, and there seemed to be a faint roar coming from the pill furnace.

Then the vibration became more and more intense, and the two-foot-high alchemy furnace visibly began to vibrate.

Beads of sweat rolled down Xu Chen's forehead like beans, and his face began to turn pale.

At this time, the formations inside the alchemy furnace began to shake violently, and the spirit fire was so restless that he could hardly suppress it.

The fragrance of the medicine became stronger and stronger, and the bluish-white cloud above the alchemy furnace gathered more and more, and gradually turned into an air mass more than ten feet in size.

Zhao Xuan was puzzled, but also knew that Xu Chen would not be able to hold on any longer, so she raised her hand and released a sound transmission jade slip, which turned into a stream of light and went towards Chaoyang Peak.

In the alchemy courtyard, the third elder was meditating in seclusion. Suddenly, he opened his eyes with a sudden movement, and saw a stream of light coming through the air and falling in front of him. Letting go of his consciousness and looking towards the mountainside where Xu Chen lived, his face changed drastically in an instant, he stepped out of the room, turned into a ray of light, flew out of the alchemy courtyard, and went straight to the direction of the medicine garden.

"Xuan'er, what happened!"

Before the third elder arrived, the sound transmission of spiritual consciousness had already landed in Zhao Xuan's ears.

But before she could answer, she saw a ray of light approaching quickly, falling in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"Three elders..."

Zhao Xuan spoke anxiously, but the third elder turned around and pressed on the crazily vibrating alchemy furnace, and at the same time poured vitality into the furnace. Under the suppression of the powerful vitality in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, the alchemy furnace quickly stabilized.

There was no need for Zhao Xuan to explain at this time.

The mind of the third elder, who has been as stable as an old dog for a hundred years, is also like a landslide at this time.

Because the clouds and mist accumulated above the alchemy furnace have already revealed everything.

This batch of pills is no small matter.

But he was full of doubts.

He also heard that Xu Chen has been practicing refining Xiaoyuan Pill these days.

Because the refining of Xiaoyuan Dan is simple, and there are no advanced skills, the disciples in the middle and late stages of the Taiyuan Gate's Kaiyuan Realm can basically refine it as long as they learn it briefly, it just depends on the success rate.

So Xu Chen didn't come to ask him, and he didn't care at all.

He even thought that if Xu Chen could refine Xiaoyuan Dan without guidance, it would indeed be worthy of his careful cultivation in the alchemy academy.

But when refining Xiaoyuan Dan, there will never be such a vision of Dan Qi gathering into clouds.

Even if it is a third-grade panacea, except for some top-level pills, this situation will never happen.

But no matter how surprised and puzzled he was, he would have to wait until Xu Chen refined the potion of medicine before he had the chance to explain his doubts.

At this time, Xu Chen was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after receiving the help of the three elders' strong vitality to stabilize the pill furnace, slow down the input of vitality, and then concentrate on controlling the formation and spirit fire.

Time passed by breath by breath.

The fragrance of the medicine in the pill furnace became more and more intense, and the tumbling clouds almost enveloped all three of them, but no one spoke, and there was no other movement.

The third elder didn't even dare to probe into the alchemy furnace to check the situation, because he was afraid that his own consciousness would break in and disrupt Xu Chen's control of the formation.

Perhaps it was the action of the third elder that alarmed the mountain gate, and soon there were two escaping lights whistling over, it was the bearded senior brother and the second senior sister, but seeing the situation in front of them, they didn't even dare to land, The edge of the cliff hangs in the air more than ten feet away, and the face is so surprised that a big duck egg can be stuffed in.

Not long after the two of them arrived, several escaping lights followed one after another, but they were all stopped far away by the senior brother's spiritual sense sound transmission.

"What kind of heaven-defying elixir is this little brother refining?"

Ninth senior brother was stunned, and stood on the flying sword and sent a voice to ask senior senior brother.

The elder brother shook his head solemnly, but did not speak.

Soon more and more people gathered, and in the end even the Second Elder Xuan and Zhenren, who were recuperating in seclusion, couldn't help rushing over, equally astonished.

At this time, except for the great elder Dan Chenzi who has not returned, everyone from the Taiyuan Sect has arrived.

"Chen'er, the heat is almost here!"

Smelling the shuddering medicinal fragrance, the third elder resisted the emotional reminder, but his voice trembled slightly.

He has been refining alchemy for decades, and he has successfully refined a third-grade elixir several times by chance, but this has never happened.

Xu Chen nodded slightly, his spiritual consciousness was drawn into the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy formation was activated, and a ball of medicinal mud suspended in the spiritual fire instantly turned into three finger-sized mud pellets, and then was quickly driven by the formation. Spinning, the light and shadow of the formation spun rapidly in the spiritual fire, and a thunderous sound erupted. A stick of incense passed by before the three elixirs condensed and formed.

"Don't worry, after distributing the pill, you need to warm up for a while, or you may lose the potency of the medicine!" The third elder's calm voice sounded again.

Xu Chen didn't have time to answer, so he could only nod his head and continue to control the spirit fire, baking the elixir carefully.

Everyone held their breath and waited.

A moment passed by slowly, and the fragrance of the medicine slowly began to subside, but the cloud of pills condensed above the pill furnace became more intense.

Xu Chen's vitality was exhausted again, so he could only raise his hand and stuff another Great Yuan Pill into his mouth.

At this time, Zhao Xuan also had no thoughts, and her mind was blank.

She was sure that the furnace was just a furnace of small Yuan Dan, because she helped arrange the medicinal materials with her own hands, and watched Xu Chen throw them in one by one.

The only thing she didn't understand was why the elixir that had been burned and refined turned out to be like this in the end.

But only Xu Chen knew about the changes.

"Attention everyone, the pill is about to come out!"

The third elder has practiced alchemy for decades, and the fragrance of the elixir has begun to shrink, which means that the elixir is about to be warmed and matured.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chen clapped his hands heavily on the pill furnace. The moment the furnace cover bounced off, a puff of pill mist rushed out of the pill furnace like thick smoke. Amidst the turbulent spirit fire, three cyan pills appeared come out.

"Third Elder, quickly collect the pill!"

Xu Chen's vitality was almost exhausted at this time, and his spirit couldn't hold on any longer. He didn't have time to collect the pills. Instead, he had to extinguish the restless spiritual fire as soon as possible, otherwise the whole pill furnace would explode.

Hearing the words, the third elder raised his hand and waved, and a strong vitality wrapped the three pills tightly in his palm.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and the elder brother and others scrambled to land next to the third elder.

Xu Chen closed the formation to extinguish the spirit fire, and then let out a long breath, wiping the sweat off his face vigorously with his sleeve.

"Wow, what kind of panacea is it?"

At this moment, everyone's spiritual consciousness eyes fell on the palm of the third elder, and there were constant exclamations.

The whole body of the three elixir is azure, round and lustrous, and there is a faint trace of white cloud patterns flowing and shining on the surface.

"Junior Brother, this looks like Xiao Yuan Pill." Xuan He said with surprise on his face.

The third elder looked solemn, nodded slightly and said: "It does look like Xiao Yuan Dan, but the breath is completely different, and the color is also weird."

All the disciples nodded together.

Xiao Yuan Pill is the most familiar pill for everyone. They have been taking it since they started at the Yuan Kaijing, at least they have taken it for several years.

Ordinary Xiaoyuan pills are blue-gray in color, with only a faint aura, which can only be distinguished with spiritual consciousness, but these three pills are not only green in color like sapphire, but also have a trace of white light cloud patterns, and the breath fluctuations released seem to be stronger than those of the big ones. Yuan Dan is more intense.

But that's all, everyone knows that this is definitely not a second-rank pill, let alone a third-rank pill.

So why did Danyun appear again?

At this time, although the pill cloud has slowly dissipated, a faint bluish-white mist can still be seen flowing.

Everyone looked at Xu Chen who stood up staggeringly with weird faces, each with question marks on their heads, wanting to get an answer.

Xu Chen was about to speak, but Xuanhe Daoist waved his hands and said, "Don't spread the word about it beforehand, just go to the Alchemy Academy with Pindao and the third elder!"

"Yes, disciple obeys!" Xu Chen cupped his hands.

The two elders looked at each other, and then the third elder rolled up his sleeves, wrapped around Xu Chen, and flew into the air, and the three figures went towards Chaoyang Peak.

"Ah~"

A group of senior brothers and sisters were all like eggplants beaten by frost in an instant, and collectively sighed.

Of course, they all knew that something miraculous must have happened in Xu Chen's alchemy process this time. Perhaps it was a secret of the mountain gate, and it was true that no one could casually know about it.

So depressed, he quickly surrounded Zhao Xuan and began to ask what happened.
