The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Cao Rui watched Ye Yunyin leave, and his mind returned to the research and development of the Fire Lotus Pill.

Cao Rui analyzed his current progress.

"Huh..." Cao Rui exhaled lightly, looking at the unresponsive experience beads in his mind.

Cao Rui frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "The experience beads have no reaction, which means that the pill formula is not established yet. It seems that my current pill formula needs to be further improved."

Cao Rui comforted himself: "However, it is now possible to do it without exploding the furnace, which at least proves that my direction is correct."

Cao Rui's face showed a trace of relief.

"As long as I keep going, even if the refining process continues to fail, I only need to successfully condense the experience pill of the Fire Lotus Pill to increase experience and upgrade, so as to obtain the next step of refining experience and steps through the feedback of the experience beads. In this way, I can continue to accumulate experience and improve my alchemy skills."

It has only been a few days, and there has been progress. Cao Rui is still quite confident.

"Keep working hard!" After saying that, Cao Rui started to develop the pill formula again, devoting himself to the process of refining the pill.

Cao Rui continued to open the furnace to refine the pill, and at the same time, he kept an eye on the corresponding experience beads in his mind.

Once the experience beads were condensed, Cao Rui would repeat the failed but condensed experience beads.

Repeating the failed alchemy method to accumulate experience points, until the Fire Lotus Pill was introduced.

This can also be regarded as a bug in the experience beads.

Experience beads are also the confidence of Cao Rui to develop a new pill formula with 70% to 80% success.

Five hours later, Cao Rui took a short rest, refined a few furnaces of perfect Huanglong Pills to earn spirits, and by the way, restored the tired soul when developing a new pill formula.

A day passed quickly.

The next day.

Cao Rui did not open the furnace to refine the pill.

Instead, he had to temporarily stop refining the new pill and rush back to the sect.

Elder Feng Yunfan, who died in the sect battlefield, will soon be buried in the sect mausoleum of the Spirit Beast Sect.

His name will be engraved in the sect mausoleum.

The Spirit Beast Sect held a farewell ceremony for Feng Yunfan.

As a high-ranking member of the sect, Cao Rui is only in the Qi Refining Stage and cannot guard the market and the spiritual mines alone, so he naturally needs to go to the sect to see him off.

Ye Yunyin, as an elder in the Foundation Establishment Stage, stayed in the market and missed the chance to see Feng Yunfan off for the last time.

"Master Cao, burn a stick of incense for Feng Yunfan for me." Ye Yunyin said softly in front of the training tower, his voice was a little low and hoarse.

Ye Yunyin stood quietly and stared into the distance, but his thoughts had already drifted to the familiar figure-Feng Yunfan.

They were of similar age, both the 100th generation disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect, and belonged to the same generation.

In the Spirit Beast Sect, they are the only two elders who are not on duty, so their relationship is very close on weekdays.

They often discuss the way of cultivation together and share each other's experience and insights.

However, now, Feng Yunfan has died in battle first.

At this moment, Ye Yunyin's mood is heavy as lead, and he is not feeling well.

Cao Rui looked at the faint melancholy expression on Ye Yunyin's face, and his heart was slightly lost.

The sect gave the sect disciples protection, and at critical moments, the sect disciples also need to pay strength and even life to surround the sect building.

This is inevitable.

Cao Rui nodded, "I will."

Cao Rui took out the small array plate and handed it to Ye Yunyin.

"I will trouble Elder Ye for a while in the market."

"No problem." Ye Yunyin reached out to take the array plate and nodded.

Cao Rui summoned Hei Yu from the beast bag.

Ye Yunyin watched Cao Rui jump onto Hei Yu's back and soon disappeared into the mist.

......

After Hei Yu advanced to the second-level demon beast, its flying speed soared again!

Now Hei Yu's speed is so fast that it is beyond imagination. The strong wind that hit Cao Rui's face like a knife, even making him feel some pain from shaving his face.

Fortunately, Hei Yu quickly realized this problem. It immediately raised a demon power shield to protect Cao Rui tightly in it, so that Cao Rui was not attacked by the wind.

Hei Yu cried happily, as if showing Cao Rui his new ability. With this cry, Hei Yu's wings began to tremble slightly, and wisps of black wind flowed around.

These wind flows surrounded Hei Yu's body like black ribbons, which further increased its speed.

At this time, Hei Yu's daily speed had reached an astonishing 5,000 miles! Such a speed was enough for them to cross the long distance of thousands of miles between the market and the Spirit Beast Sect in a short time.

Only two days later.

In the morning, Cao Rui rushed to the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect in advance.

Elder Feng Yunfan's memorial service was held the day after tomorrow.

Cao Rui rushed to the Alchemy Institute to check the completion of the daily alchemy tasks.

The ironic point is that some of the Qi Refining disciples died in this war.

So the demand for elixirs in the Alchemy Institute has decreased, especially the Huanglong Pills required for the late Qi Refining period.

Because the participants in the sect war are basically the inner disciples in the late Qi Refining period.

Cao Rui refined several furnaces of Huanglong Pills by himself and gave some advice to Sun Haoran, Jin Mu and the two deacons.

The two deacons, Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi, have reached the level of primary alchemists.

But their talents are not high, and it is difficult to improve their alchemy skills.

Currently, he is only under Cao Rui's guidance, barely improving his understanding of the Yellow Dragon Pill. Perhaps in another four or five years, he can completely replace Cao Rui in refining the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Sun Haoran made rapid progress, and his skill in refining Lingyuan Dan began to improve. He also began to refine Huanglong Dan.

His level of green flame alchemy improved rapidly, and within ten years he could surpass the two deacons and become the successor of the head of the alchemy academy.

Although Jinmu had good spiritual roots, he was still a child, and currently he was still focusing on cultivation to improve his realm.

Alchemy knowledge was just the beginning of enlightenment.

It would take decades of practice to become an alchemist.

Cao Rui stayed in the alchemy academy for a day.

The next day, Cao Rui went to the internal affairs hall.

After seeing his own weakness in the sect war.

Prepare to use his contribution points to exchange for some things that can be used as a trump card.

Previously, Cao Rui was rewarded with 50,000 contribution points because he single-handedly captured the Qingling Xiuxian Market.

The sect directly rewarded Cao Rui with 50,000 contribution points.

50,000 contribution points should be able to exchange for some good things.

Internal Affairs Hall.

Cao Rui met the hall master Xu Qingzhi and explained his purpose.

"Fifty thousand contribution points is not a small amount. It can indeed be exchanged for the explosive things in the treasure house. Come on, I will take you to the sect treasure house and take a good look."

Xu Qingzhi took Cao Rui to the back mountain.

The first floor of the cultivation pagoda is where the sect treasure house is located.

After the treasure house is built, it is completely closed.

You need to pass through the careful teleportation array in front of the treasure house before you can enter the treasure house.

Cao Rui followed Xu Qingzhi to step into the teleportation array.

Xu Qingzhi started the teleportation.

Cao Rui only felt his body twisted slightly, and then he appeared in a ground space of hundreds of square meters that was as bright as daylight.
