Nine Turns of Nirvana

People from both sides soon gathered in the square in front of the real person's palace.

At this time, two brand-new alchemy furnaces have been moved to the square and placed in the central area of ​​the square. The two alchemy furnaces are about thirty feet apart. This distance can basically ensure that the two parties will not interfere with each other during refining. .

Lu Yu pointed at the two pill furnaces and said to the elders and deacons: "Everyone, please take a look at these two pill furnaces first to see if there are any problems."

So Elder Li came out and walked around the two alchemy furnaces.

"The black square tripod made by Qi Yunxuan is so-so in style, texture, and workmanship. Fortunately, at least it has no leaks and is barely usable. I don't think you can find anything better on Jade Butterfly Peak, so I will just use it." Bar!"

Lu Yu said: "Since there is no problem, let's start choosing the materials to make the elixir!"

Elder Li glanced at him: "Are you planning to start like this?"

Lu Yuqi asked: "Elder Li, do you have any questions?"

Elder Li smiled softly, with a proud look in his eyes.

"Ye Luzi is Ye Luzi. I said you would mislead others, and you are indeed right! You don't even understand how to make an elixir! Do you think that alchemy is just about mastering the skills of operating an alchemy furnace?"

"Did you know that the wind direction, temperature, humidity, light, and other environmental factors around the alchemy furnace will directly affect the effect of the elixir? Some top elixirs and even Feng Shui have extremely strict requirements..."

"What you do can't be called alchemy at all. It can only be called burning fire!"

"Forget it, I'm here to give you a good lesson today and let you know what real alchemy is!"

After speaking, Elder Li took out the Qiankun bag he carried with him and took out more than a dozen oval spheres. These spherical objects shone with a hazy halo, like giant night pearls.

"This is... a runic stone used to build top-level formations?" Immediately, some sharp-eyed disciples saw the clues and shouted in surprise.

Elder Li held the Talisman Stone in his hand and glanced in the direction of the sound. He found that the speaker was a fat man with an extremely large stature. He couldn't help but nodded slightly in approval.

"Yes, this is the Stone of Fu Neng. It seems that not all the disciples of Jade Butterfly Peak are frogs in the well! Occasionally, there are still one or two who have seen the world."

Elder Li did not know that this person was Dong Tiande who had just joined Jade Butterfly Peak today.

Fatty Dong's face could not help but turn blue and white for a while. He had just joined Jade Butterfly Peak, but Elder Li used him as an example and praised Jade Butterfly Peak but actually criticized it, which made him feel very embarrassed.

Elder Li threw the Talisman Stone high and waved his hands repeatedly, drawing bright lines on his fingertips.

The runic stones in the air moved according to the trajectories of these lines, rearranged in a wonderful way, and then dispersed to the ground around one of the alchemy furnaces, forming an array of green light and shadow.

Everyone around was amazed. They didn't expect Elder Li to set up a formation to assist in alchemy so quickly, and they were full of praise.

"This is the Jade Spirit Gathering Array, which can gather the surrounding spiritual energy to keep away evil spirits and water and fire. The pure air will rise and the turbid air will sink, making the array reach the most suitable state for alchemy."

Elder Li looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and showed a sarcastic smile to Lu Yu beside him.

"I think you are also a promising disciple of our Dali Sword Sect. As long as you are willing to kneel down and admit your mistakes with me, and promise to obey the orders of the Elders in the future and never act recklessly again, I will pass this array on to you. how?"

Lu Yu smiled and said: "Elder Li, please save it! My disciple has not made any mistakes. How do you ask me to admit my mistakes? Besides, in my opinion, this formation is flashy, big and useless. It doesn't matter whether you learn it or not!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding elders and deacons couldn't help but change color.

Elder Li's face turned livid with anger: "You arrogant boy, you will never repent! This formation has been completed, and the difference between the inside and outside can be seen at a glance. You actually said that this formation is useless. You are obviously telling lies!"

Lu Yu shook his head and said seriously: "I didn't say that this array has no effect, and the effect of this array on changing the alchemy environment can be said to be immediate..."

"However, no matter how obvious its effect is, its purpose is to solve the problem of the loss of alchemy energy in the furnace. If this is the case, why not solve it inside the furnace, but ask everyone outside the furnace?"

"Why not strengthen the operating techniques to ensure that the elixir energy is condensed and not dispersed, but instead use external formations to influence the inside of the furnace? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Elder Li couldn't help but laughed out loud with anger.

"What a strengthened operation technique to ensure that the elixir energy is condensed and not dispersed! What a shameless statement!"

"The moon waxes and wanes, the water overflows when it is full, and the energy gathers and disperses. This is the eternal normal state of heaven and earth. The loss of alchemy energy is a natural process. Could it be that your alchemy technique can be so strong that it can resist the power of heaven and earth? ?”

"Even the red-topped grandmaster of Shenhuo Xuanzong, one of the eight great immortal sects, probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing, but you, a small disciple, are talking nonsense here. Fortunately, this is within our Dali Sword Sect, otherwise this If the words spread outside, people will laugh out loud!"

"It's useless to talk more. It's better to see the real deal! You're so loud, let me see how much your alchemy level is!"

After speaking, Elder Li suddenly flicked his sleeves and walked towards the area where materials were placed in the center of the square.

Lu Yu smiled softly and did not explain anything anymore, but silently thought in his heart, maybe his red lotus power is really strong enough to resist the power of heaven and earth...

The two of them walked to the center of the square together.

A group of elders and deacons were worthy of being masters of alchemy. A dozen of them carried hundreds of materials, all of which were suspended in the temporary magic circle. It looked like a dazzling array.

Elder Li glanced at Lu Yu from the corner of his eye, with a slightly mocking look on his face.

"According to your request, we have collected a total of 408 kinds of materials. Do you think it is enough? If not, I will send a message and ask people to send more from Wulao Peak. It will not waste much time!"

Lu Yu shook his head and said in a leisurely manner: "No need, it's just a gambling fight anyway, and we're not trying to refine some unique elixir, so just use it!"

When Elder Li saw this look on his face, he became very angry. He snorted heavily and asked, "Should you choose first, or should I choose first?"

"Please go ahead!"

Elder Li did not refuse, flicked his sleeves, and strode into the material array.

After he entered, Lu Yu found a different direction and walked in.

Under the operation of the formation, pieces of materials are constantly flowing around.

With so much material and no written explanation, ordinary disciples might not be able to tell the difference between these materials, let alone accurately find out what they need, even if they look at the formation for three days and three nights. Material.

It can be said that this Dan Dan battle started from the moment.

As the elder in charge of alchemy, Elder Li has rich experience and extraordinary eyesight. This process of selecting ingredients may be extremely difficult for ordinary disciples, but for him, it is just a daily experience.

About a quarter of an hour later, Elder Li selected the materials and walked out of the formation.

He thought that he had gained the upper hand. Lu Yu must still be trapped in the formation and confused, but when he turned around, he realized that there were only pieces of materials circulating in the formation. How could there be any trace of Lu Yu?

Elder Li couldn't help but be stunned.

what's the situation?

Why does this guy choose a material and choose no shadow?

He couldn't help but look at Elder Zhu beside him, and was about to ask him what was going on.

Suddenly, there was a bang.

This voice was very familiar to Elder Li. It was the sound of lava crystals being ignited in the alchemy furnace.

Elder Li was startled and immediately looked at the alchemy furnace on the side, only to see Lu Yu, who had disappeared from the material array, had already lit the fire in front of the alchemy furnace.

Not only did he select the materials, he also finished loading them!

And the time it took him to do all this was actually shorter than himself, an elder who was in charge of alchemy and had to deal with the alchemy furnace every day?

Elder Li couldn't help but be stunned.
