Chapter 10 Refining the Foundation Building Pill
Chapter 10 Refining the Foundation Building Pill
On an inconspicuous hillock, Xiao Wuji controlled the top-level flying sword in his hand and continued to carve on the mountain.
The top-level magic weapon can easily cut gold and jade, and there is a storage bag to collect gravel. Digging the mountain is also an easy task. After a while, a ten-meter-long deep cave was dug out, which is large enough for one person to pass through.
Then Xiao Wuji came to the entrance of the cave again, dumped the excavated rubble on the ground to block the entrance, and used the earth wall technique to add a layer of earth wall behind the rubble before stopping.
Xiao Wuji walked back to the deepest part of the cave, then sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
He certainly didn't dig such a simple cave for living, not to mention that this is a forbidden area, it's impossible to live here. He just wanted to find a quiet place to make pills!
After killing the female cultivator from the Yanyue Sect, Xiao Wuji not only collected the main ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also had a lot left over.
After deducting the three main herbs needed for his own alchemy, there were still thirteen spiritual herbs left, which were still enough for Xiao Wuji to exchange for an obvious and unsuspected source of foundation-building pills from the sect.
So Xiao Wuji stopped decisively and did not search for any more spiritual medicines. He was just a worker, why did he work so hard? After all, all the benefits would go to the sect.
Half an hour later, Xiao Wuji's magic power was completely restored to perfection.
He raised his hand and inlaid a moonstone on the top of the cave, then took out a gray two-mouthed tripod and placed it on the ground.
This cauldron was not some magical alchemy furnace, but a medicine cauldron that he had personally refined based on the medicine cauldron in his memory.
The refining of the medicine cauldron is extremely simple. There is no need to engrave array patterns or anything like that. All you need to do is melt a piece of metal and then shape it into the shape you remember.
For any cultivator, this can be done with just the right hand.
Xiao Wuji's medicine cauldron was made of the most common black iron, and cost less than two spirit stones.
Flames rose in the medicine cauldron, licking every space inside the cauldron evenly, and one spiritual medicine after another was put into the cauldron in an orderly manner.
The temperature of the flame gradually increased, and the elixir in the cauldron began to wither and eventually turned black. With a slight vibration of his spiritual thoughts, the blackened shell instantly shattered, leaving behind balls of crystal clear medicinal liquid.
As time went by, the medicinal liquid in the medicine cauldron began to blend and gradually became viscous. The color also changed from the initial translucent to lavender, and the volume was about the size of a baby's fist.
Xiao Wuji took a deep breath and then became even more focused. Under his control, the flames were sometimes fierce and sometimes gentle, as if they had life. Under the tempering of the flames, the liquid medicine in the medicine cauldron gradually became crystal clear and exuded a dense spiritual energy.
Although Xiao Wuji had the memory of refining magic medicine for several years in the simulation, fighting spirit was different from spiritual energy after all, and his cultivation was only that of Qi refining rather than fighting king. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be as proficient in refining it as he was in refining ordinary second-grade elixirs.
But with the experience of a fifth-grade alchemist, he was able to go smoothly through the process of refining the elixir, with only some medicinal power wasted in the process of blending the liquid medicine.
But the next step is a huge test for Xiao Wuji.
Ning Dan!
Different from the alchemy method in this world, the alchemists in Douqi Continent only produce one pill per furnace, allowing all the medicinal power to burst out at once, thus breaking through the realm and breaking the bottleneck.
But Xiao Wuji didn't dare to refine this kind of elixir, because his small body couldn't take it at all, so he had to use the elixir-dividing technique of this world to divide the fist-sized liquid medicine into many parts, and then condense the elixir. The elixir-dividing technique was extremely unfamiliar to Xiao Wuji, and this step was the most likely step for Xiao Wuji to fail.
He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of him, and the medicine liquid began to spin in the center of the medicine cauldron under the control of Xiao Wuji's seals.
The speed of rotation was getting faster and faster, and the surrounding flames were pulled by the liquid medicine to rotate. Then at a certain moment, it stopped abruptly.
The ball of medicinal liquid suddenly broke into pieces due to the centrifugal force, and separated into nine balls of medicinal liquid in the medicine cauldron, five large and four small.
puff! puff! puff! puff!
Four consecutive puffing sounds were heard from the alchemy furnace. Four smaller balls of medicine liquid were directly turned into ashes in the flames, while the other five balls gradually stabilized.
Seeing this, Xiao Wuji smiled. It seemed that refining the elixir was not as difficult as he thought.
……
Five days passed in a flash, and the passage to the forbidden area was opened again. Xiao Wuji, who had already made plans to leave, was naturally the first to rush out of the forbidden area.
Before leaving the forbidden area, Xiao Wuji deliberately left the Cold Dragon Flag and the Foundation Establishment Pills he had searched from the ice sculptures in the cave where he used to make pills.
That female cultivator is not so bad. At most, she is just the descendant of a Jindan cultivator. As long as she doesn't reveal her magic weapon, she doesn't have to worry about her life safety.
The Frost Dragon Flag was clearly not something a Qi Refining cultivator should have, and judging by the man's blood sacrifice of his fellow disciples, it must have been instructed by someone, and its owner might be waiting outside the forbidden area for him to carry the flag out. After all, it was very easy for a Jindan cultivator to leave a tracking method that could not be discovered by a Qi Refining cultivator.
He came and stood behind Li Huayuan, then pretended to be nothing and stared at the passage intently, but in fact he was always secretly observing the reaction of the monk leading the Spirit Beast Mountain out of the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, as more and more people came out and the time for the forbidden area to close was getting closer, the brows of the Jindan cultivator from Lingshou Mountain became deeper and deeper.
After realizing this, Xiao Wuji immediately looked away, fearing that someone would discover his little action.
After half a day, the passage was closed again. After several Jindan cultivators exchanged a few polite words, they turned back.
Halfway through, at the request of the five deacons of the sect, Xiao Wuji honestly handed over all the elixirs in his hand without any fraud in the matter. He had already taken what he should have taken in the forbidden area, so he was very generous at this moment.
On the fourth day after returning to the sect, Xiao Wuji got the foundation-building pill that he deserved, and then he went into seclusion with the pill "joyfully".
As for the retreat location, Xiao Wuji had already made thorough preparations. He looked down upon the retreat location prepared by the sect.
After seeing off the two deacons who brought the elixirs, Xiao Wuji also flew towards the northwest of Taiyue Mountains on the Qingye magic weapon.
Although he didn't want to gamble his life on the Heavenly Bottle, it didn't mean that Xiao Wuji would give up other opportunities that were within his reach. He still had to take what he should take!
