Miracle of Alchemy
In the next two days, Xu Chen concentrated on continuing to refine elixirs, and succeeded in two successive batches of Xiaoyuan Dan without any failure.
At this time, some of the medicinal materials collected were running low, and they could be refined for at most two furnaces. Xu Chen prepared to incorporate the white air released from the vase into the Xiaoyuan Dan.
After everything was ready, he started to try again.
Of course, you have to be much more careful this time.
After all, the medicinal materials used in Xiaoyuan Dan are already relatively precious, and it will still feel distressing for a long time to waste it.
The Taiyuan Sect's meager financial resources cannot withstand waste and trouble.
Soon nearly an hour passed, all the medicinal materials were refined, and the elixir raising stage entered.
Xu Chen took a small Yuan Dan to stabilize his energy, and used his consciousness to touch the blue jade beads, guiding the white energy into the elixir furnace.
Because he was afraid that the medicinal mud that was finally refined would be burned by spiritual energy again, Xu Chen was particularly careful this time. He did not directly integrate the white air into it, but carefully divided the medicinal mud into two groups, and then merged into one of them separately.
among.
With the integration of the white air, the spiritual fire in the alchemy furnace seemed to be suddenly activated, and the flames suddenly swelled and enveloped the ball of medicinal mud.
Xu Chen was startled, and quickly mobilized his vitality, activating the formation and tried his best to suppress the restless spiritual fire. After a few breaths, the spiritual fire quickly stabilized. Xu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. The mud paste was not burned, but
A lot of mud fell from it, and the lump of medicinal mud shrank by one-third.
"Fortunately, fortunately, not everything was burned!"
Xu Chen couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and concentrated on baking two balls of warm and nourishing mud paste.
Zhao Xuan didn't know the internal changes in the alchemy furnace. She only thought that Xu Chen was still lacking in vitality, so she quickly reminded in a low voice: "Junior brother, don't be impatient. The first three furnaces were successful. Even if the refinement fails this way, the chance of success is very high.
, Ninth Senior Brother has been refining elixirs for many years, but it only takes two or three furnaces to successfully complete one furnace."
Xu Chen did not dare to speak at this time, because he found that the spiritual fire was particularly restless towards the medicine mud mixed with white gas, and would burn violently if he was not careful. Therefore, he could only continuously release his vitality to suppress the spiritual fire, which led to the consumption of vitality.
Needless to say, the soul is also particularly prone to fatigue, causing instability in consciousness, so after holding on to a stick of incense, I had to take out a soul bead and stick it between my eyebrows.
With the support of the soul power released by the soul bead, Xu Chen felt much better.
However, he soon discovered that the vitality replenished by the Xiaoyuan Dan could no longer keep up with the consumption of the alchemy. The vitality stored in the Dantian was being consumed at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, so he had to take out another pill.
Put the Dayuan Dan into your mouth.
Zhao Xuan:……
She didn't know what happened.
But the cost of refining the Xiao Yuan Dan and taking the Great Yuan Dan is too high, and the effort and reward are completely out of proportion.
One Great Yuan Dan can be exchanged for at least five Small Yuan Dan.
Moreover, this is just the beginning of raising the elixir, and it will take at least half an hour to produce the elixir. If you can't support it and take another Dayuan elixir, even if the elixir is refined, you will probably vomit blood.
But Xu Chen had no choice at this time.
Although this experiment was a sudden idea, there is now hope of success.
He really wanted to know what kind of effect this elixir with white gas would have after it was finally successfully refined.
Therefore, even if he has to take two or three more Dayuan Dan, he will never give up.
Then the atmosphere at the alchemy suddenly became weird.
Xu Chen used his full power to absorb the Great Yuan Dan, and continuously sent vitality into the alchemy furnace to maintain the stability of the spiritual fire.
At the same time, he must constantly rely on absorbing the soul power of soul beads to maintain the stability of his spiritual consciousness.
And you must also concentrate on observing the situation in the alchemy furnace.
Under such three-purpose focus, even though Xu Chen's spiritual consciousness was as strong as the True Yuan realm, he still felt more and more inadequate. Finally, after persisting for two sticks of incense, his spirit was in a trance and his consciousness was scattered for a moment, causing the aura to become agitated and the formation to shake.
The lump of medicinal mud that had not been incorporated into the white air finally lost control and was instantly burned by the spiritual fire.
Along with a thick smoke billowing from the alchemy furnace, a burnt smell filled the mountainside.
Zhao Xuan stood up in surprise, but found that Xu Chen's breath shook for a moment and then quickly returned to calm. Although the sweat on his forehead rolled down, he continued to concentrate on refining the elixir.
Zhao Xuan was completely confused.
But he didn't dare to disturb him. This situation should indicate that the alchemy had failed, but Xu Chen never gave up, which meant that it didn't seem to be a complete failure. So he took out his handkerchief and stepped forward to help Xu Chen dry the sweat on his face, and then sat quietly.
Keep waiting on the side.
In silence, another two moments passed quickly, and Xu Chen once again took out a Dayuan Dan and stuffed it into his mouth.
At the same time, the medicinal fragrance began to emit from the alchemy furnace.
Zhao Xuan was speechless and surprised, and continued to wipe Xu Chen's sweat with a weird look on her face.
The aroma of the medicine became stronger and stronger, and a faint blue-white cloud began to condense above the alchemy furnace.
Zhao Xuan could no longer control her emotions at this time. She stood up and stared at the cloud. A legend about alchemy flashed through her mind like lightning.
I heard that when the fourth-grade elixir is successfully refined, some strange phenomena will occur in the world.
Because the fourth-grade elixir is a real spiritual elixir, it already has a trace of spirituality, and it is the elixir created by the creation of heaven and earth, so there will be elixir tribulation.
But this is only a first-grade elixir furnace, and the elixir is only a small Yuan Dan that has not yet been graded. How could such a strange phenomenon occur?
At this time, the aura exuding from Xu Chen's body became stronger and stronger, and vitality continued to pour into the alchemy furnace like a tide.
The blazing fire splashed in the alchemy furnace, like thunder and lightning, releasing waves that made the soul throb and shake.
The alchemy furnace began to vibrate continuously, and there seemed to be a faint roar coming from the alchemy furnace.
Then the vibrations became stronger and stronger, and the two-foot-tall alchemy furnace began to visibly shake and beat.
The sweat on Xu Chen's forehead rolled down like peas, and his face began to turn pale.
At this time, the formations in the alchemy furnace began to shake violently, and the spiritual fire was so restless that he could hardly suppress it.
The aroma of the medicine became stronger and stronger, and the bluish-white cloud above the alchemy furnace gathered larger and larger, slowly turning into a ball of air more than ten feet in size.
Zhao Xuan was shocked and confused, but she also knew that Xu Chen could no longer hold on any longer, so she raised her hand and released a sound-transmitting jade slip, which turned into a stream of light and headed towards Chaoyang Peak.
In the alchemy courtyard, the third elder was meditating in seclusion. Suddenly his mind moved and he opened his eyes. He saw a stream of light coming through the air and falling in front of him. He raised his hand in surprise and swept it with his spiritual consciousness. He suddenly stood up with a strange expression on his face, and at the same time
He let go of his consciousness and looked at the mountainside where Xu Chen lived. His face suddenly changed. He stepped out of the room, turned into a ray of light and flew out of the alchemy courtyard, heading straight for the medicine garden.
"Xuan'er, what happened!"
Before the third elder arrived, the message from the divine consciousness had already fallen into Zhao Xuan's ears.
But before she could reply, she saw a ray of light coming quickly and landed in front of her in the blink of an eye.
"Third Elder..."
Zhao Xuan spoke anxiously, but the third elder turned around and pressed down on the wildly shaking alchemy furnace. At the same time, the energy was flowing into the furnace. Under the suppression of the powerful energy in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, the alchemy furnace quickly stabilized.
There is no need for Zhao Xuan to explain at this time.
The mind of the third elder, who has been as steady as an old dog for hundreds of years, is now like a mountain falling apart.
Because the clouds and mist gathering above the alchemy furnace have revealed everything.
This furnace of elixir is no small matter.
But he was full of questions.
He also heard that Xu Chen was practicing refining Xiao Yuan Dan these days.
Because the refining of Xiaoyuan Dan is simple and does not require any advanced skills, disciples in the middle and late stages of Kaiyuan Realm of Taiyuan Sect can basically practice it with simple learning. It just depends on the success rate.
So Xu Chen didn't come to ask him, and he didn't care at all.
He was even thinking that if Xu Chen could refine Xiao Yuan Dan without any guidance, it would indeed be worthy of his careful cultivation in the Dan Academy.
But when refining Xiaoyuan Dan, there has never been such a strange phenomenon of the Dan Qi gathering into a cloud.
Even for third-grade elixirs, except for some top-level elixirs, this will never happen.
However, no matter how surprised or confused he was, he would have to wait until Xu Chen refined the elixir before he could have a chance to answer his questions.
At this time, after Xu Chen stabilized the alchemy furnace with the help of the third elder's strong vitality, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, slow down the input of vitality, and then concentrate on controlling the formation and spiritual fire.
Time keeps passing by breath by breath.
The aroma of medicine emitted from the alchemy furnace became stronger and stronger, and the tumbling cloud of alchemy almost enveloped all three of them. However, no one spoke or made any other movements. They were almost completely still, as if they had been hit by a immobilization spell.
The third elder did not even dare to put his spiritual consciousness into the alchemy furnace to check the situation, because he was afraid that his spiritual consciousness would break in and disrupt Xu Chen's control of the formation.
Perhaps the actions of the third elder alarmed the mountain gate, and soon two more escaping lights roared towards them. It was the unshaven senior brother and second senior sister. However, looking at the situation in front of them, the two did not even dare to land, but stood on the ground.
More than ten feet away from the cliff, it was hanging in the air, with a face full of surprise that a big duck egg could be stuffed into it.
Not long after the two arrived, several more rays of light came one after another, but they were all stopped at a distance by the senior brother using his spiritual consciousness to transmit sounds.
"What kind of heaven-defying elixir is this that my junior brother is refining?"
