Immortal Path Evergreen

Zhongyuan ginseng is the only fourth-level spiritual medicine in the Zhang family's spiritual medicine garden. Since the family found this spiritual medicine, it has been cultivated for nearly three hundred years.

Over the years, the cost of spiritual stones alone has exceeded three hundred spiritual stones on this spiritual medicine. And the value of this spiritual medicine has exceeded ten ordinary third-level spiritual medicines, reaching one thousand five hundred spiritual stones.

Zhongyuan ginseng, a fourth-level spiritual medicine, has a wide range of uses. It can be used as the main medicine to refine fourth-level spiritual pills, and can also be used as an auxiliary medicine to refine pills with other spiritual objects. Once Zhongyuan ginseng matures, it will soon bloom and bear fruit. As soon as its seeds fall to the ground, this precious spiritual medicine will turn into a pure spiritual energy to nourish the soil where it has grown for many years.

In the last battle of Taihong Mountain, the Zhang family seized six third-level pill recipes from the battle of Fengchengbao on the periphery. Combined with the five third-level pill recipes preserved in the family, Zhang Zhixuan is ready to compile an alchemy book to train alchemists for the family.

Among these eleven third-level pill recipes, there are eight third-level lower-grade elixirs, two middle-grade ones, and only one top-grade one.

This top-grade pill recipe is called Zhongyuan Pill, and its main ingredient is a mature Zhongyuan ginseng.

As a fourth-level spiritual medicine, Zhongyuan ginseng can already refine some fourth-level spiritual pills. Using it to refine pills for foundation-building cultivators is a bit of a waste of talent.

The maximum value of this spiritual medicine is to take this fourth-level spiritual medicine to Qingxuan Sect to exchange for treasures suitable for foundation-building cultivators.

Unfortunately, the Zhang family only has one third-level top-grade pill recipe. If they want to get this level of inheritance again, they don’t know when they will have to wait.

If Zhang Zhixuan wants to become a third-level top-grade alchemist as soon as possible, he has only one choice to refine Zhongyuan Pill.

In addition to the fourth-level Zhongyuan ginseng, Zhongyuan Pill also requires seven or eight first- and second-level spiritual medicines. These spiritual medicines are some common things and can be fully collected in the Zhang family’s alchemy room.

Another benefit of refining Zhongyuan Pills is that it can quickly increase the mana of cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.

This third-grade high-quality elixir has a very good effect because it uses fourth-grade spiritual medicine. Even if a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building takes one elixir, he can increase his mana for three years. Its side effects are also relatively small. It only takes three years to take any spiritual objects that increase mana.

Any cultivator can only take three Zhongyuan Pills in his lifetime. The first one has the best effect and increases mana for three years. The second one can only increase mana for two years, and the third one increases mana for one year. After taking three elixirs, the side effects will be superimposed, and the cultivator will not be able to take any spiritual objects that increase mana during the foundation building period.

Once a spiritual object that increases mana is taken by mistake, it will conflict with the efficacy of the Zhongyuan Pill taken. At the least, the cultivation will regress, and at the worst, the tendons and veins will be damaged, which will hurt the foundation and affect the future of breaking through the purple mansion.

In the nearly fifty years since Zhang Zhixuan established his foundation, he has taken no more than a palm of spiritual pills. There is no poison in his body now. Once he refines the Zhongyuan Pill, he can save three years of hard work.

Since the trip to Song State, Zhang Zhixuan felt that his cultivation was insufficient. Refining the elixir would be of great benefit to him, Qingchan and Hanyan.

Zhang Zhixuan flew all the way into the spiritual medicine garden. He did not greet Zhang Tonghuai and others who were waiting on the side, but went directly to the Zhongyuan Ginseng. Looking at the three white flowers shining with spiritual light on the Zhongyuan Ginseng, Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said, "Tonghuai is very accurate. The Zhongyuan Ginseng will mature today."

Zhongyuan Ginseng, a fourth-level spiritual medicine, is different from ordinary third-level spiritual medicines. Its roots go deep into the ground for dozens of feet. Cultivators with insufficient spiritual awareness cannot find the spiritual ginseng hidden deep underground in a short time. Once the time is missed, this precious spiritual medicine will be wasted, and the family's hundreds of years of hard work will be ruined.

It is for this reason that Zhang Tonghuai made a prompt decision and immediately notified Zhang Zhixuan to go down the mountain.

Zhang Zhixuan waited in the spiritual medicine garden for only an hour, and the three spiritual flowers began to wither instantly. Before the three Zhongyuan ginseng seeds were buried in the soil, Zhang Zhixuan's spiritual consciousness moved and easily found this spiritual medicine. His spiritual consciousness was equivalent to half of a purple mansion cultivator. Even if the spiritual ginseng was hidden dozens of feet deep underground, it was still visible to Zhang Zhixuan.

After taking out the Zhongyuan ginseng, Zhang Zhixuan gave the three seeds to Zhang Tonghuai and asked him to plant them in the family spiritual field, and then took the Zhongyuan ginseng to the family treasury.

Zhang Zhixuan used 1,500 good deeds to exchange for this spiritual medicine, and then spent some good deeds to exchange for auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining Zhongyuan Dan from Xihefang, and then hurried back to his cave.

It took longer to refine Zhongyuan Dan, as long as 37 days, but Zhang Zhixuan was no longer the same as before, and his magic power was already very strong.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process of refining the elixir, Zhang Zhixuan, with his rich experience, still succeeded in refining this furnace of elixir without any danger and became a third-level top-grade alchemist.

This time, the elixir refining went very smoothly. Not only did he successfully refine the elixir, but the success rate was also very good, reaching 30%.

The price of Zhongyuan Dan is relatively expensive, about 400 spiritual stones per pill.

According to this success rate, Zhang Zhixuan only lost less than 800 spiritual stones.

However, Zhongyuan Dan is very rare, and there is no such elixir on the market.

After all, when using fourth-level spiritual medicine to refine third-level spiritual medicine, unless it is absolutely necessary, most cultivators will try their best to exert the full effect of the spiritual medicine, and will not refine such spiritual objects that are difficult to make a profit.

After refining three Zhongyuan pills, Zhang Zhixuan took one on the spot. When the pill went down his throat, it instantly brought a violent mana. Zhang Zhixuan spent three months in seclusion to refine the pill before he completely refined it. Then it took another half a month to integrate the trickles of mana into his dantian.

Because his mana was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, this pill did not increase his mana by three years, but only increased it by about two years, which reduced his cultivation time by two years for him to break through the purple mansion.

Zhang Zhixuan personally tested the effect of the pill and immediately gave one to Qingchan to take.

Qingchan was also a cultivator who did not take the foundation pill to build the foundation. Now she has built the foundation to the ninth level and her mana is stronger than Zhang Zhixuan. The effect of her taking the pill was worse, and she only increased her mana by one and a half years.

After Qingchan came out of seclusion, Zhang Zhixuan immediately asked someone to send a letter to Hanyan, asking her to return to the family.

By the time Hanyan received the reply and returned to the family, three months had passed.

Although Han Yan was also at the ninth level of foundation building, her mana was far inferior to Zhang Zhixuan and the others. She took the elixir and it worked best, and her mana did increase for three years.

However, not long after coming out of retreat, Han Yan reached the peak of foundation building. Unless she opened the Niwan Palace and opened up the Purple Palace, connecting the two Dantians, her mana would not increase at all.

After practicing to this level, she could already take the risk of breaking through the Purple Palace.
