I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Soul!

For Chu Ning now, it is still too illusory.

But this time, through the soul-cleansing liquid, he gained a deeper understanding of the soul.

The soul is not just as simple as the growth of the soul as the monks think.

As for the soul, he still couldn't fully explain it, but he had an intuition that the fusion of the two souls at this moment would be of great help to his future path to the Nascent Soul.

Perhaps, only those powerful Nascent Souls can truly understand what the soul represents.

The original soul finally chose to merge with him in order to thank him for what he had done by occupying this body.

Thanks to him for taking care of my old aunt.

From the moment the two souls merged, he was not just a time traveler, but truly integrated into the world.

He is still Chu Ning.

But he is not the original Chu Ning.

Chu Ning opened her eyes, her eyes calm.

"Why do I feel like you have suddenly had an epiphany? The look in your eyes just now looked a bit like that of the old Taoist from Sanqingshan."

Lao Hei's voice sounded in Chu Ning's mind. As early as half a month ago, when Chu Ning's two souls merged, he felt relieved.

"Yeah?"

"It doesn't look like that anymore."

Chu Ning:......

"I didn't expect that a soul fusion would actually take a month. We need to hurry up. First separate the soul into a strand, and then refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Stepping out of the cave, Chu Ning arrived in front of a small mountain peak, or a small mound of soil to be precise.

Compared with a month ago, the small mound of soil at this moment has grown by a fingernail's height.

This height is not low compared to the growth rate of normal mountain peaks, but the key point is that normal mountain peaks are not this short. If the mountain peaks continue to grow at this speed, I can't afford to wait even if I have tens of thousands of years of life.

In the chapter on raising mountains, there is a method for separating the soul. Chu Ning followed this method and sat cross-legged with his legs, constantly changing mudra with his hands, and concentrated his spiritual consciousness in this small mound.

"Use the soul to nourish the mountain, and use the mountain to shape the soul."

The moment the handprint was formed, Chu Ning let out a soft drink. His skin turned blood red, and the veins on his face stood out, as if something was about to be peeled off from his body.

Lao Hei was holding the jade bottle aside. Seeing Chu Ning's expression, he quickly turned the mouth of the jade bottle downwards and three drops of soul-cleansing liquid fell on Chu Ning's head.

After the soul-cleansing liquid entered the body, Chu Ning's skin slowly returned to normal. The next moment, his whole body trembled slightly and his face instantly turned pale.

But there was light in Chu Ning's eyes, because his soul was successfully separated.

A wisp of soul entered the small mountain peak in front of him.

He could clearly feel that the small mountain peak was absorbing the energy of the earth's veins, and he could feel the small mountain peak's breathing.

Mountain peaks are no longer dead objects.

You can even feel the excitement of the mountain.

The first step in raising the mountain was finally successful.

Chu Ning also had joy on his face, and with the successful separation of souls, the green mountain in his Dantian trembled.

The green mountains trembled, and there was another technique in Chu Ning's mind.

Move the mountain seal.

This seal requires mountain maintenance.

And Chu Ning just succeeded in raising the mountain.

Moving Mountain Seal: Move a mountain to attack the enemy. The stronger the mountain, the stronger the power.

Chu Ning glanced at the fist-sized mound in front of him.

The road is long and long.

Carrying this small mound of soil to fight the enemy, isn't this the same as hitting someone on the small hearted with a small fist?

The good thing is that in addition to moving his own mountain, this moving mountain seal can also move other mountains.

If you just move another mountain, there will be no mountain power bonus.

"Old Hei, I'll leave this mountain to you, I'm going to make alchemy."

It takes a month to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Chu Ning promised Qu Zhongshu to deliver the pill in three months. Now it is already a bit tight.

There were several alchemy furnaces for alchemy in his storage bag. When he came down from Wenjin Mountain, he packed up all the alchemy furnaces in his master's cave and took them away.

The only pity is that even though he wanted to take away the second-level earth fire, he was unable to do so due to his strength.

ignition.

Warming furnace.

Put in the medicinal materials and start making elixirs.

…

Qu Zhongshu, who was refining alchemy in Chu Ning's heart without any distractions, and who was sitting at Hongri Peak, looked at the flying boat flying overhead, his eyes narrowed.

This is Junior Sister Yang's flying boat. Could it be that the alchemist that Junior Sister Yang sent for has arrived?

With a guess in his mind, Qu Zhongshu decided to see who the alchemist invited by Junior Sister Yang could make Junior Sister Yang so confident.

The next moment, Qu Zhongshu's figure disappeared on the spot.

Peach Blossom Peak.

Yang Qiaoying controlled the flying boat to land. Besides her, a young man came out of the flying boat.

"You Xing, this is my mountain peak."

"Riyue Mountain is worthy of being a paradise in the cave."

You Xing sincerely praised him. He came to Xiyue Sect this time because he was ordered by his master.

The master and Senior Yang were old acquaintances, and he didn't know what Senior Yang said to the master. It was just that the master asked him to follow Senior Yang to Xiyue Sect, and it was only on the flying boat that he knew what Senior Yang needed him to do.

Refining the Foundation Building Pill.

However, You Xing is still a little confused. With the strength of Senior Yang and the strength of Xiyue Sect, it is not difficult to find an alchemist to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Logically speaking, there is no need to go all the way to find a master.

"Junior sister Yang, is this the alchemist you found?"

Qu Zhongshu appeared on the top of the mountain almost as soon as You Xing finished speaking. He looked at You Xing with doubts in his eyes.

An alchemist in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Junior Sister Yang thinks this person can refine a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill?

Are you kidding me?

"Senior Brother Qu, You Xing's master is a third-grade alchemist, and You Xing's talent in alchemy is extremely extraordinary."

Yang Qiaoying knew what Qu Zhongshu was questioning, and she was also skeptical at the beginning.

At first, she hoped that Fellow Daoist Zhao could help refine a high-grade foundation-building pill.

However, Fellow Daoist Zhao directly recommended disciple You Xing to her.

Although You Xing was in the early stage of foundation building, he could actually have entered the middle stage of foundation building long ago, but You Xing deliberately suppressed his realm.

According to Fellow Daoist Zhao, the reason why You Xing suppressed his realm was because he wanted to be able to refine a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

This was a crazy move. Yang Qiaoying didn't know why You Xing was so persistent, but as a master, Daoyou Zhao expressed his support.

Fellow Daoist Zhao told him that You Xing had successfully refined a high-quality Foundation Building Pill as early as two years ago.

When it comes to refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, even fellow Daoist Zhao personally admitted that his disciple has a higher probability of refining a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill than his master.

Yang Qiaoying knew Zhao Yangming well and could not deliberately exaggerate in order to flatter his disciple.

If You Xing really succeeded in refining a high-grade foundation-building pill this time, she would also recommend You Xing to the sect master to participate in the competition with Dan Shengzi's disciples.

"Yeah?"

Qu Zhongshu still didn't believe it. The most important thing was that from Junior Sister Yang's tone, he seemed to trust this boy's master.

The most important thing is that the junior sister originally told me that she was a second-grade alchemist she met outside, but now it turned out that she was recommended by his master.

Why didn’t Junior Sister Yang say anything before?

What is the relationship between Junior Sister Yang and this boy’s master?

You Xing felt that the senior Jindan doubted him, but he did not explain it. As an alchemist, he did not need to explain in words, he just needed to bring out the refined elixir.

Pills are the best explanation for alchemists.

"Can you refine a top-grade foundation-building pill? How sure are you?"

You Xing didn't explain, but Qu Zhongshu asked directly.

If the person in front of him wasn't a powerful person with golden elixirs, You Xing would have wanted to put erysipelas on his face.

Who can be sure of the top-grade Foundation Building Pill?

"Senior, I'm afraid that I have some misunderstanding about alchemy. No alchemist can be sure of any high-grade elixir, let alone a pill like the Foundation Establishment Pill. Unless you are someone who boasts about it, let alone top-grade elixirs. Even good quality products are not guaranteed.”

In the end, You Xing couldn't hold it back and said that.

Listening to this answer, Qu Zhongshu's face was filled with a smile. He was now sure that the kid in front of him was not as good as Chu Ning in alchemy.

There is no guarantee of quality.

Looking at what Chu Ning said, it was a good quality foundation-building pill, and ordinary quality was not considered at all.

This is the gap.

"There is no guarantee of good quality, so where do you have the confidence to refine the top-grade foundation-building pill?" After saying that, Qu Zhongshu turned to Yang Qiaoying and said, "Junior sister Yang, don't be deceived."

"Senior Brother Qu!" Yang Qiaoying's face darkened: "Do you think Junior Sister is someone who is easily deceived?"

"I'm afraid that Junior Sister, you are eager to find a high-grade foundation-building pill, and in your haste, someone who is interested will find an opportunity to take advantage of you."

Someone with a heart?

You Xing heard it. This senior not only questioned himself, but also questioned his master.

If he was just questioning himself, then he would just tolerate it, but if he was questioning his master, a disciple would naturally not sit idly by.

"Senior, as a strong person in the golden elixir, if you don't know about alchemy, you might as well learn about it first. Otherwise, if your words are spread, it will only make others laugh."

"I don't understand?" Qu Zhongshu's pressure dissipated. The pressure of a strong man in the Jindan realm was a bit unbearable for You Xing, but You Xing still looked at Qu Zhongshu fearlessly.

"Senior Brother Qu!"

Yang Qiaoying on the side shouted softly, and Qu Zhongshu immediately put away his pressure and showed a smile on his face.

"Junior Sister Yang, this guy said that I don't know how to make alchemy. Senior Brother, although I don't know how to make alchemy, I also know how unreliable it is to refine a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill in the early stage of Foundation Establishment."

"Senior doesn't know, but it doesn't mean that others can't do it. I once saw someone who refined a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill in the early stage of foundation building. The reason why the junior suppressed his realm and didn't break through to the middle stage was because he wanted to catch up with that person. "

You Xing's voice was sonorous and powerful, but his words moved Yang Qiaoying.

No wonder Fellow Daoist Zhao allowed You Xing to suppress his realm and not break through. It turned out to be this reason.

No wonder Fellow Daoist Zhao has so much confidence in You Xing. You must know that even if you are an alchemist, the purpose of refining alchemy is to assist you in your cultivation.

Now he is willing to suppress his realm for the sake of alchemy, which shows that You Xing has an extremely pure heart when it comes to alchemy.

Qu Zhongshu also fell silent. He was sure that what the boy in front of him said was true.

This guy is a pure alchemist with dreams.

"When I was in the late stage of Qi Condensation, I suppressed my realm for ten years because I wanted to be the first alchemist in the Qi Condensation stage. Later, I thought I had achieved it, and then I broke through and established the foundation."

"The juniors at that time thought that even some second-grade alchemists were not as good as the juniors in terms of alchemy attainments except for being in a higher realm than the juniors. However, they did not expect that there is a world outside the sky and there are people outside the world."

There was a wry smile on You Xing's face. The alchemy competition in Wen Jinshan almost made him collapse in alchemy.

The art of alchemy that he had painstakingly studied for decades was actually inferior to that of a person who had only been involved in alchemy for a year.

Later, with the persuasion and comfort of his master, he came out of that failure, and secretly vowed that if he could not refine a top-grade foundation-building pill, he would never break through to the middle stage of foundation-building.

Back then, that person was able to refine high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and he could do the same.

"If someone promises to refine a top-grade foundation-building pill, then I can only tell my senior that you are likely to be deceived."

You Xing looked at Qu Zhongshu with bright eyes. Although Qu Zhongshu had a better impression of You Xing, he was still a little disgusted after hearing these words.

What do you mean, I was deceived?

"Don't make things so absolute. I actually found someone to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and there is a high possibility of refining a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."

Intuition told Qu Zhongshu that although Chu Ning had said that he would do his best but there was no guarantee, he could tell from his expression that Chu Ning was quite sure of refining a top-grade foundation-building pill.

"Senior brother, are you looking for someone to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Yang Qiaoying was a little confused. Senior brother had no disciples who needed the Foundation Establishment Pill, so what was the use of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill?

"Senior brother, the soul-cleansing liquid you withdrew from the sect master last time and the foundation-building materials you borrowed from other senior sisters were used to refine the foundation-building pill?"

"That's right, senior brother will give you two hundred drops of soul-cleansing liquid, and the other party will guarantee to refine a top-grade foundation-building pill."

Qu Zhongshu boasted, and Chu Ning's best efforts turned into a guarantee in his mouth.

"Senior, you are definitely deceived."

You Xing said with certainty at the side: "Not even my master can guarantee the top-grade foundation-building pill, unless the senior is looking for a fourth-grade alchemist."

A fourth-grade alchemist is guaranteed to be at the Nascent Soul realm, so how can he possibly refine a foundation-building pill.

"Senior brother, these are two hundred drops of soul-cleansing liquid. You are... too arbitrary."

Yang Qiaoying also feels that Senior Brother Qu's deal is a bit risky. In terms of value, two hundred drops of Soul Cleansing Liquid are higher than a high-grade Foundation-Building Pill. However, if there is a strong Jindan who needs to prepare a high-grade Foundation-Building Pill for his juniors, two hundred drops Soul cleansing liquid is also acceptable.

But the key problem is that no alchemist can guarantee that he can refine a high-grade foundation-building pill.

"The alchemist that senior brother is looking for is a third-grade alchemist?"

"No, he is in the foundation building stage just like this kid."

The corner of You Xing's mouth twitched, "A foundation-building alchemist, is this an inappropriate liar?"

Is this senior so easily deceived?

Yang Qiaoying also didn't know what to say. Senior Brother Qu also said that the You Xing he found was unreliable, and the one he found wasn't any better than him.

"Senior, has this alchemist left?" You Xing asked.

"Don't worry, he is still inside the mountain gate. He will not leave until he refines the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Senior, please be careful. I think this person will find an excuse to say that the alchemy failed, or find an excuse to delay the process."

You Xing knew that there were such scum in the circle of alchemists. His own alchemy skills were not enough, but he boasted all kinds of things to the outside world, and then found various excuses after accepting things from people who asked for alchemy.

However, generally speaking, these scum only dare to deceive those whose realm is equal to or inferior to theirs, but do not dare to deceive those whose realm is higher than theirs.

This liar dared to deceive the powerful Jin Dan, so he must have thought of a foolproof strategy.

"Senior Brother Qu, Junior Sister thinks You Xing's words are reasonable. You should still be on guard."

Qu Zhongshu shook his head. He was not a fool. He would believe Chu Ning because Chu Ning had no need to lie to him.

Not to mention Chu Ning’s alchemy record, he is also the future son-in-law of their Xiyue Sect.

"If the senior doesn't believe it, you might as well take the junior to see the alchemist. The junior can judge whether the alchemist is really capable."

You Xing felt that Senior Qu seemed to be hostile to his master, so as a disciple, he naturally had to side with his master.

Exposing the liar alchemist was a slap in the face for Senior Qu, indirectly venting his anger on the master.

"Don't disturb me during the alchemy period." Qu Zhongshu hesitated.

"Senior, I don't know. You don't need to keep an eye on the alchemy furnace when refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. After the medicinal materials are purified, all that's left is to wait until the elixir is about to take shape and then control the heat. If the elixir is really about to take shape, , there are only a few days, the junior can still wait."

"Senior Brother Qu, just as You Xing said, I will also go and have a look."

Qu Zhongshu would refuse You Xing, but he would never refuse Yang Qiaoying, saying: "Okay, then I will take Junior Sister Yang to have a look, and Junior Sister Yang will invite me to fly my sword."

"No need to go to such trouble, junior sister can just take You Xing on the flying boat."

Yang Qiaoying shook her head. Her flying boat stopped in front of her before she could put it away. Qu Zhongshu had no choice but to say, "Senior brother, lead the way from the front."

On the flying boat, Yang Qiaoying looked at You Xing with a serious expression: "You Xing, how confident are you that the other party deliberately deceived Senior Brother Qu?"

"Senior Yang, even my master can't guarantee that he can refine a high-grade foundation-building pill in one go. Don't you think this is a liar?" You Xing said with a smile.

"If even your master can't guarantee it, then this person is really suspected of being a liar." Yang Qiaoying nodded: "You can expose this person directly in a while, and I will take care of it for you, Senior Brother Qu."

"With Senior Yang's words, You Xing can rest assured. I guarantee that there will be no way for this liar to hide."

As an alchemist, You Xing extremely dislikes this kind of scum in the circle who have low attainments in alchemy but deceive people who seek alchemy.

Using the excuse that there is a risk of failure in refining the elixir, he unscrupulously deceives the alchemy rewards from those who seek the elixir.

There are also some alchemists who obviously are not good at refining elixirs, but when refining elixirs, they still say that it is normal to fail two or three times, and require the elixir master to prepare multiple copies of elixir materials.

The existence of these scum caused the reputation of the entire alchemy master to be ruined. Although many monks did not dare to offend their alchemy masters, they often scolded them behind their backs.

It is his responsibility as an alchemist to expose these scum and maintain the ethos of alchemists.
