Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

A pair of gauntlets were covered in blood and bits of flesh.

Cao Yan swallowed the blood in his mouth, forcibly suppressing the surging blood in his chest.

His chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing was as heavy as a bull's.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his skin was red. His whole state of being, with his hair standing on end, made him look like an angry Vajra.

And before him was a huge corpse of a great demon, like a small mountain.

A second-order great demon, the Azure Scale Dragon Elephant!

At this time, the elephant-shaped great demon's head was smashed, and almost no piece of scale armor on its body was intact.

In comparison, Cao Yan looked more like a wild beast!

And in front of Cao Yan, there were three such corpses!

Cao Yan calmed his mind. Behind him, three spiritual rhyme rings were thick and incomparably burning with a ghostly blue flame, their patterns flashing non-stop!

His closed eyes slowly opened, and his bright eyes gained a bit more resilience.

But he still looked like that taciturn gourd, and there was never a smile on his face.

His sturdy body was full of wounds, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. After taking off his gauntlets, his hands were full of calluses, and his knuckles were slightly thicker than ordinary people's.

But it was such a guy with wheat-colored skin and a sturdy body.

After cleaning the blood from his body, he changed into a set of alchemist robes that symbolized his noble status!

The patterns of a second-grade alchemist shone brightly.

Walking out of the secret realm, an old man with white eyebrows and hair was drinking tea in the small courtyard.

And on this person's body, there were five golden shining stars!

Not only that, but on the chest of the old man's robe, in addition to the five golden stars, there was also a large '梵' (Fan) character!

The old man was hale and hearty, with a ruddy complexion, although he also had the vicissitudes of the years.

But between his eyebrows and eyes, he revealed excellent energy and spirit.

"Tsk, can you kid leave the time for practicing boxing to refining pills?"

"It's killing me..."

Cao Yan smiled upon hearing this, came behind the old man, and massaged the old man's shoulders.

"Master, isn't this because I want to cultivate the technique you painstakingly found for me."

"Besides, didn't you also say that my method of extracting with a fist-shaking pill furnace is feasible?"

Fan Beixuan immediately got up upon hearing this, not even letting him massage his shoulders.

The little old man glared and said.

"Yes, yes, feasible..."

After saying that, a flash of light flashed in the sky above the small courtyard, and with a dong sound, a four-foot pill furnace slammed on the ground.

The cyan pill furnace looked like scrap metal, and the furnace wall was full of pits...

Upon closer inspection, there were actually knuckle imprints in each pit.

Hundreds of dense fist prints had actually smashed a good second-grade pill furnace!

It looked like a sea urchin with spikes growing in reverse...

Opening the furnace lid, it was full of long pit marks.

And the old man had more than a dozen such pill furnaces in his hand!

As for the reason...

That was because Cao Yan wanted to practice boxing again, but he didn't dare to slack off in refining pills.

So he thought of using boxing to shake the pill furnace, and shake out the impurities in the spiritual liquid extracted from the immortal herbs!

At the beginning, it was extremely difficult to control, and a slight carelessness would cause the furnace to explode.

This also made Cao Yan a laughing stock in the Pill Hall for a long time.

It also caused Fan Beixuan to be frantically ridiculed by the other elders in the Pill Hall.

But Fan Beixuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, he thought Cao Yan's idea was feasible.

Gradually, with the support of the old man, when Cao Yan refined a furnace of perfect pills with 99% medicinal power, all the doubts disappeared.

And this kind of cultivation method also allowed Cao Yan to achieve a supreme level of control over his own power and immortal essence.

"Tsk, your divine sense storage is really growing faster and faster."

Cao Yan blurted out upon hearing this.

"My sixth brother's divine sense storage is even more powerful..."

The old man had heard the inadvertent words several times.

"Hey, I really don't believe that any cultivator in the same realm can surpass you in mental power?!"

Cao Yan shrugged his shoulders, and the scene of Gu Li manipulating the sea of ​​symbols alone flashed in his mind.

With a wry smile, Cao Yan admitted that he couldn't do that in the same realm. It was too incredible.

A few traces of longing appeared in his eyes.

The old man looked at Cao Yan, who was showing this look again, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He got up to attend the routine meeting, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Although that 'Blood Rage' technique is powerful, it also causes a lot of damage. You still have to be mindful of it."

Cao Yan bowed respectfully upon hearing this.

"Okay, Master, I will keep it in mind."

"Then you go and get busy, and I will do my homework."

Fan Beixuan rolled his eyes and handed over a storage ring.

"The pill furnace inside is a gift to you."

Cao Yan's eyes lit up, and with a flip of his wrist, he took out the pill furnace.

The pill furnace was not big, three feet and three inches in size, and the whole body was crimson, but it was not bright.

"This furnace is called 'Crimson Glow Furnace', a treasure among the third-grade, and it is made of..."

Dong!!!!

Cao Yan punched out, and a muffled sound came from the pill furnace, sliding more than ten feet on the ground!

The old man's face twitched.

"Um... it is... well, durable."

The old man turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

He patted his chest as he walked.

"I found my own disciple, I found my own..."

Cao Yan's eyes were bright, the furnace wall of this pill furnace was thick enough, and the conduction of power was also very good!

"I like it."

He put away the pill furnace and turned to walk towards the alchemy room.

Passing through the corridor, a rolling heat wave hit his face.

Turning his head, he saw many people surrounding a young man.

"Wow, Senior Brother Duan, is this the Heavenly Pattern Water Mirror bestowed by the Second Elder? This... is it a top-grade third-grade?!"

A female cultivator looked at the young man in the center with great admiration.

"Yes, the value of this water mirror is probably tens of millions of immortal crystals, right?"

"It must be. Isn't this the water mirror from the last auction?"

"I heard that the more immortal crystals are invested in this water mirror, the wider the range it can connect to."

"I just don't know if it can connect to the Ten Lands hahahaha."

A disciple of a first-grade alchemist said flatteringly.

The young man showed a proud look on his face and smiled.

He pretended to shake the exquisite water mirror in his hand indifferently.

"Oh, just a little gadget."

After speaking, the young man looked at Cao Yan triumphantly and said arrogantly.

"Senior Brother Cao's master is not a stingy person either, he will definitely buy him some good things."

"Hahahaha, maybe he bought him a more hammer-resistant pill furnace, it's not impossible, hahahaha."

Cao Yan stopped and looked at Duan Sixian with a calm gaze.

He approached the young man step by step, and this scene scared everyone to retreat.

Duan Sixian didn't actually have any bad intentions. The Duan family was also a famous family.

He was originally the Second Elder's most proud disciple, and now he is also a second-grade alchemist.

But since Cao Yan came, he has shown unparalleled talent in alchemy!

His limelight has also been stolen. This time, he got the water mirror and wanted to show off.

Duan Sixian looked slightly delicate. Compared with Cao Yan, who fought with great demons all day long, he looked like a weak chick.

Cao Yan suddenly stretched out his left hand, pinched his cheeks, covered his mouth, and said softly.

"Duan Sixian, I'm usually too lazy to pay attention to you, don't show off in front of me, understand?"

"I don't want to bother with you, I'm afraid that one day I will break all your bones."
