Chapter 153 Alchemy Talent
The flying beast of burden traveled smoothly in the sky, and the passengers admired the magnificent scenery under their feet through the transparent area of the cabin wall.
Under the clouds, the rolling mountains were like the back of a giant dragon, winding and twisting; the green forests and the blue lakes complemented each other, forming a beautiful picture.
Along the way, they encountered several first-level flying monsters, but these low-level monsters quickly avoided the huge second-level medium-grade beast of burden from a distance.
There were even several second-level flying monsters that seemed to be curious about the beast of burden, following and calling from a distance.
The foundation-building cultivator of the Ye family controlled the beast of burden to roar loudly, and those second-level monsters also wisely stayed away.
When the flying beast of burden landed at an intermediate station, the passengers were about to get off the ship, and suddenly a sharp hissing came from the horizon.
It seems that the beast of burden had discovered that there were humans hidden in the beast of burden.
The face of the foundation-building monk of the Ye family suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Quick! Everyone return to the cabin immediately!"
Before everyone could react, they saw two huge four-winged fire snakes flying in the distant sky, followed by dozens of smaller two-winged fire snakes.
The fire snakes emitted rolling heat waves, and the air was distorted wherever they passed.
"It's a second-level medium-grade four-winged fire snake!"
Someone exclaimed.
The foundation-building monk of the Ye family quickly commanded the passengers to return to the cabin, and at the same time issued a lift-off order to the pack beast.
The huge pack beast flapped its wings and flew high. As soon as it left the ground, the fire snakes arrived.
"Please don't panic, my Ye family is fully prepared to deal with such a situation."
The foundation-building monk calmly comforted everyone.
As soon as the voice fell, two cracks suddenly appeared on the back of the pack beast, revealing the second-level high-grade spirit cannon hidden in it.
The spirit cannon shone brightly, and instantly condensed into two thick energy beams, whistling towards the fire snakes.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud noise, more than a dozen first-level double-winged fire snakes were instantly hit by the energy beam and turned into sparks falling.
However, more double-winged fire snakes quickly filled the gap and launched a fierce attack on the pack beast.
The Ye family foundation-building cultivator immediately cast a spell and cast a protective shield around the pack beast.
At the same time, he commanded the Ye family cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining to control the spirit cannon and continuously fired energy beams at the group of fire snakes.
The pack beast was not to be outdone. It opened its huge mouth and spewed out a stream of scorching flames, burning the approaching double-winged fire snakes into ashes.
The strength of the second-level middle-grade pack beast was fully revealed at this moment, becoming the backbone of this battle.
Seeing this, the two four-winged fire snakes let out an angry hiss and rushed directly towards the pack beast.
Seeing this, the Ye family foundation-building cultivator immediately concentrated all his magic power and controlled the spirit cannon to aim at one of the four-winged fire snakes.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise that shook the earth, the energy beam shot by the spirit cannon hit the head of the four-winged fire snake.
The huge monster let out a shrill scream, and its body disintegrated in the air, turning into countless sparks and falling.
The other four-winged fire snake was furious when it saw its companion being killed. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a thick column of fire, hitting the beast of burden.
At the critical moment, the beast of burden suddenly turned sideways and barely avoided the fatal blow.
The Ye family foundation-building cultivator seized the opportunity and controlled the spirit cannon to attack again.
The two terrifying energies collided in the air, bursting out dazzling light.
The whole sky seemed to be torn apart, and the terrifying shock wave spread in all directions.
When the light dissipated, there was no trace of the four-winged fire snake in the sky.
Although the beast of burden was shaky, it finally survived.
"We won! We won!"
A cheer broke out in the cabin.
People stood up and hugged each other excitedly.
Some people were in tears, some laughed out loud, and more people looked at the Ye family foundation-building cultivator and the late-stage Qi-refining cultivator who controlled the spirit cannon with reverence.
"Thanks to the Ye family's careful preparation and strong strength, otherwise we would not be able to escape today!"
An elderly cultivator said with emotion.
"Yes, the Qingzhu Ye family is indeed a big family. Such strength and means are really amazing."
Another person echoed.
"You are too kind."
The Ye family foundation-building cultivator said modestly, "It is our duty to protect everyone's safety. This time, we were able to successfully resolve the crisis, thanks to your cooperation."
With the praises of the crowd, the flying beast continued to fly. This thrilling experience made everyone deeply appreciate the strength and responsibility of the Qingzhu Ye family.
In the following journey, the passengers would talk about this thrilling battle from time to time.
Some people began to discuss the power of the Ye family's spirit cannon, while others praised the strength of the foundation-building cultivator.
The foundation-building cultivator of the Ye family was particularly cautious. He was always alert to the surrounding environment, fearing that he would encounter danger again.
After all, in this vast world, you never know what will happen next.
...
On this day, Ye Changsheng had nothing to do, so he came to the Dan Pavilion of Qingzhu Peak.
The Dan Pavilion was filled with the fragrance of medicine and a faint mist, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Xu Hong, a second-level upper-grade alchemist, was standing on the high platform at this time, holding an alchemy furnace, teaching the Ye family disciples and some first-level alchemist guests the tricks of alchemy.
The audience was full of disciples who were listening to the lecture. They all looked focused and stared at Xu Hong's every move.
Ye Changsheng found a corner to sit down casually, looked around, and found that there were quite a few people listening to the lecture this time.
Several foundation-building cultivators with strong auras stood out. They were the elders in the early stage of foundation-building specially arranged by Ye Jiulong, the head of the Ye family, to learn alchemy.
The remaining dozens of Qi-refining disciples were the younger generation of the Ye family and the first-level alchemy guests hired by the Ye family.
The lectures of the second-level alchemy guests were a rare learning opportunity for them. They paid the contribution points of the Ye family to come here to audit and study.
In the Alchemy Pavilion, on the high platform, Xu Hong was refining a first-level top-grade elixir - the Condensing Qi Pill.
He held the jade bottle and put various medicinal materials into it in a specific order, while operating his internal force to make the liquid medicine slowly boil.
The fragrance of the elixir gradually spread in the air, attracting the students below the stage to concentrate their minds, fearing that they would miss any details.
While refining, Xu Hong said: "Qi Condensation Pill is a first-class high-grade pill, which is of great help to cultivators. In the refining process, the control of the temperature is the key..."
While refining, he also explained in detail the precautions of each step, "The key to Qi Condensation Pill is the control of the temperature. Too high a temperature will cause the medicinal effect to be lost, and too low a temperature will cause the medicinal materials to be unable to fully blend..."
As time passed, the furnace fire gradually became stable, and Xu Hong's forehead was slightly sweaty, but his hands were still as steady as Mount Tai.
Finally, with a crisp sound, a strong medicinal fragrance came from the pill furnace.
Xu Hong opened the pill furnace, and several pills emitting a faint glow lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace. He nodded with satisfaction, carefully took out the pills, and showed them to the disciples below the stage.
