Immortal Path Evergreen

The recipe of Miao Zhen Dan has been in Zhang Zhixuan's hands for three years. During these three years, Zhang Zhixuan would carefully study this recipe when he had free time to practice. Now, he is familiar with all aspects of this recipe.

With confidence, Zhang Zhixuan asked Qingchan to close the door of the cave and prepare to start refining the elixir in seclusion.

This time, refining the elixir is very important to Zhang Zhixuan. If the refining fails, not only will he lose 1,200 spiritual stones for materials, but the time to break through the third-level middle-grade alchemist will also be delayed for a long time.

Xuanyin fruit is very rare. Except for Qingxuan Sect, other families may not grow this kind of spiritual medicine. It may take decades to gather a furnace of spiritual pills.

After refining dozens of furnaces of locust spirit powder, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy level has been greatly improved, and he has also gained more experience in refining third-level spiritual pills.

The only trouble with refining Miao Zhen Dan is that the refining time is very long, which takes a full twenty-four days.

For such a long time, without earth fire to refine the elixir, even if Zhang Zhixuan's mana is not less than that of the eighth or ninth level of the foundation building cultivator, he still feels a heavy pressure.

However, it is very troublesome to build an alchemy room. It is necessary to ask the purple mansion cultivator to open the fire vein. This project takes three or four years. If it is not an important purple mansion cultivator, he is not willing to delay precious time to help you.

Among the five major families, except the Wu family of Yanlai Peak, which has an alchemy room with three fire caves for alchemy and refining, other families do not have such conditions at all.

When the ancestor Zhang Chuyun was alive, the Zhang family did not entrust him to open the fire cave. If the opportunity is missed, there will be no more.

Perhaps it is necessary to wait for Qingchan, Hanyan, and Zhang Zhixuan to open the purple mansion before they can build the alchemy room and improve the conditions of the family.

Zhang Zhixuan prepared everything, and even entrusted Hanyan to do 300 good deeds, and bought a third-level middle-grade Qi-replenishing pill from the Qingxuan Sect to quickly replenish mana and restore vitality as a backup, and then began to refine the elixir.

Zhang Zhixuan opened the Xuanyang furnace, first refined a few furnaces of second-level elixirs, warmed up the alchemy furnace, and then put the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace to start warming the elixir.

The most difficult step of Miaozhendan is to warm up the elixir. This process takes twenty-one days. During these twenty-one days, the cultivator needs to input mana all the time without sleep, and cannot leave for a minute or a second.

Such a painful process, if it is not a cultivator with deep mana, it is impossible to persist. Moreover, Zhang Zhixuan does not have the earth fire to provide firepower, so he can only use the true fire of the foundation-building cultivator to refine the elixir, which increases the difficulty.

If Zhang Zhixuan is not a fire spirit root cultivator, he is good at using Samadhi true fire. Even with his strong mana, he dare not try this kind of thing.

As time passed, Zhang Zhixuan's strong mana gradually began to dry up. On the eleventh day, Zhang Zhixuan's mana had been consumed by more than half.

With less than 30% of his mana, every minute and every second was torture for Zhang Zhixuan. A third-level middle-grade Qi-replenishing pill could only restore 30% of his mana, but looking at the current situation, even if he took the third-level Qi-replenishing pill, Zhang Zhixuan could not last for 24 days of alchemy.

Faced with this difficult situation, Zhang Zhixuan could only rack his brains to think of ways to save mana, and began to slowly reduce the consumption of the true fire in his body, hoping to maintain it for a longer time.

If the intensity of the true fire in the body is reduced, the temperature of the alchemy furnace may not be enough, and there will be a trace of residue in the elixir liquid. When the elixir is condensed, it will condense into a very toxic waste elixir.

Zhang Zhixuan is very clear about this hidden danger, but now he has no way out. If he doesn't do this, this time the alchemy will fail completely, and the more than 1,000 spirit stones invested will be wasted.

With such a huge loss, even an old-fashioned foundation-building cultivator like Zhang Zhixuan will feel the pain for several years.

Although the family's finances have improved now, for long-term considerations, the salary given to Zhang Zhixuan and other foundation-building cultivators has not changed.

Their family salary is only 300 spirit stones a year, but Zhang Zhixuan has alchemy and Qingchan has talisman making. They have rich experience in alchemy and talisman making, and can earn a lot of family merits every year. The annual income adds up to more than 1,000 spirit stones, which has exceeded most foundation-building cultivators.

With the family's spiritual veins providing spiritual energy, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan do not need to consume extra spirit stones for cultivation. In addition to consuming some material resources, they can accumulate a large amount of resources every year.

Moreover, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan both have a top-grade spirit stone, although they have invested all of it in the family, they have not seen the return of money for the time being.

However, the family's finances have begun to improve, and a large amount of spirit stones will be used to pay off the accounts in one or two years.

With the intensity of the true fire reduced, Zhang Zhixuan can only be more careful, increasing his spiritual consciousness at all times and paying attention to the details in the alchemy furnace.

Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing Samadhi True Fire for thirty years. Although the Heavenly Fire Golden Knife Jue is incomplete, its power is indeed extraordinary, and is no less powerful than the skills taught by disciples of sects such as Qingxuan Sect.

Even though Zhang Zhixuan reduced the intensity of the true fire, there was still enough fire to warm the elixir.

In this way, relying on the weakening of the true fire, Zhang Zhixuan persisted for another six days.

Finally, on the night of the seventeenth day, when Zhang Zhixuan felt that his mana was about to run out, he took the long-prepared third-level Qi-replenishing pill.

The effect of the third-level middle-grade Qi-replenishing pill was indeed extraordinary. As soon as Zhang Zhixuan took the elixir, a trickle of mana was absorbed into his dantian.

Because Zhang Zhixuan's mana was no less than that of a cultivator at the eighth or ninth level of foundation building, the effect of this elixir was not as good as expected, and only restored 20% of his mana.

With these two percent of his mana, Zhang Zhixuan finally completed the most difficult step before his mana was almost exhausted, and warmed up the elixir.

After successfully warming up the elixir, Zhang Zhixuan no longer needed to continue to activate the true fire, and could rest for a day or two, waiting for the elixir in the alchemy furnace to slowly cool down, and prepare to condense the elixir after three days.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step, and although he had completed the most difficult step, Zhang Zhixuan would not be careless and carefully stared at the elixir in the alchemy furnace.

After the elixir slowly cooled down, Zhang Zhixuan began to activate his mana to let the elixir in the alchemy furnace slowly rotate, and the elixir would shrink a little bit with each rotation. Slowly, these elixir liquids gradually condensed into three solid small dots. Zhang Zhixuan knew at this time that the step of condensing the elixir had been completed for the most part.

Zhang Zhixuan suddenly made a spell and opened the top cover of the alchemy furnace. A strong fragrance rushed out of the alchemy furnace. After smelling this elixir, Zhang Zhixuan immediately felt refreshed and full of vitality.

He did not dare to delay for a moment, and took out three jade bottles containing elixirs. He immediately performed a magic spell to collect the elixirs. Three rays of spiritual light were absorbed into the alchemy furnace, collecting the three elixirs inside.
