Chapter 443 Taiwei Dan

Zhang Zhixuan holds the recipe for Taiwei Dan, which he has obtained for three years. Over the past three years, Zhang Zhixuan has copied the recipe into books and written down a lot of his experiences. These experiences can also be converted into family merits and stored in the family's Sutra Pavilion.

This kind of thing is originally a win-win situation. Zhang Zhixuan gets family merits, low-level cultivators get precious inheritance, and the family's foundation is also strengthened.

In recent years, a large number of martial arts books exchanged from Qingxuan Sect have been stored in the Sutra Pavilion, accumulating a large amount of family merits for the Zhang family's three purple mansions. Counting their gains from refining pills, making talismans, and hunting monsters, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan have accumulated 230,000 family merits. Together with the 50,000 family merits in Hanyan's hands, the three have accumulated 280,000 family merits.

Unfortunately, these 280,000 family merits cannot be turned into resources of the same value in a short time.

Although the family's treasury has accumulated a lot of spirit stones in the past few decades, the total is only 50,000. If the three purple mansions of the Zhang family want to exchange these 280,000 good deeds, I am afraid that the good deeds system of the Zhang family will soon go bankrupt.

Even if the more than 300 cultivators in the family do not eat or drink and do not consume any resources, it will take at least 30 years to make up for the good deeds of the three purple mansion ancestors.

There is no doubt that Zhang Zhixuan will definitely not squeeze the subordinates like this. He can only let the family slowly accumulate the foundation and rely on a longer time to redeem it.

After three years of continuous speculation, Zhang Zhixuan has already had some confidence in refining Taiwei Dan. Now that the auxiliary spiritual medicines are fully collected, he is ready to start refining the furnace.

Zhang Zhixuan first sent a spiritual talisman to notify Liang Hanyang to borrow the Blue Bird Bagua Furnace and coordinate the use time of the alchemy furnace.

This alchemy furnace is of very high grade, second to none in the entire Qingxuan Sect. Even the magic weapon that Luo Ziyan usually uses for alchemy is slightly lower in quality.

It is precisely because the ancestor Liang has put a lot of effort in these external objects and consumed too many resources that he did not take a key step on the road.

To refine high-level elixirs, not only does the alchemist need to have excellent alchemy skills, but also the furnace, furnace fire, and the treatment of spiritual medicines.

Zhang Zhixuan checked all the auxiliary spiritual medicines, then tested the temperature of the ground fire, and made all the preparations before starting to refine the elixir.

With a move of his consciousness, he cast the spell of controlling objects and put the various kinds of auxiliary spiritual medicines into the elixir furnace in order. Zhang Zhixuan used these auxiliary spiritual medicines exactly, neither more nor less.

If there is any omission in the amount of spiritual medicines, it will be difficult to refine a qualified elixir. Therefore, it is difficult for a cultivator who is careless in character to make progress in alchemy.

Zhang Zhixuan had already memorized the recipe of Taiwei Dan. He even analyzed the principles of the medicines used in the recipe many times and wrote down his experience of more than 100,000 words. When he got the alchemy furnace, he chose to start refining the elixir without hesitation.

The underground fire burned fiercely, slowly turning all the auxiliary spiritual medicines into spiritual liquid. Zhang Zhixuan cast a series of prohibitions to discharge the residue in the elixir. This process alone took forty-three days.

"It seems that the mana consumed by refining the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual pill far exceeds that of the fourth-level low-grade. It will take at least three months to refine the elixir completely. Three months of sleepless refining, even for a cultivator in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, does not have such powerful mana and consciousness."

Zhang Zhixuan suppressed his thoughts and saw that the elixir had been completely purified. He immediately put the main medicine Qingling Flower into it.

Then he quickly entered a series of magic formulas. These prohibitions were to protect the alchemy furnace, to isolate the heat, and even to stir the alchemy furnace to rotate. In order to speed up the refining of the Qingling Flower, he also released his Samadhi True Fire to strengthen the power of the underground fire.

In this way, another twenty-eight days passed. Just when Zhang Zhixuan's mana was more than half consumed, the Qingling Flower finally turned into elixir.

The main medicine was dissolved, and the alchemy was half done. The next month was to warm it up and wait for the liquid to cool down slowly.

As the temperature of the alchemy furnace gradually dropped, a wisp of rich medicinal fragrance gradually drifted out of the furnace. Zhang Zhixuan was relieved when he smelled the fragrance.

This time, because of the premium purchase of Qingling Flower, the investment in spiritual medicine alone reached 22,000, not counting the manpower cost. If the alchemy failed, although it would not be a serious injury to Zhang Zhixuan, it would also make him feel painful for a long time.

However, even if the probability of success was as high as 70%, Zhang Zhixuan did not dare to take it lightly. He still carefully controlled the alchemy furnace and gradually condensed the liquid into ten spiritual pills.

After more than ten days, a wisp of green smoke came out of the dragon mouth of the Blue Bird Bagua furnace.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Zhixuan immediately poured the prepared fourth-level spiritual water into the pill furnace. As soon as the spiritual water came into contact with the pill, it quickly wrapped the ten spiritual pills and then merged into the middle of the spiritual pill.

This step was very dangerous. In a short moment, seven spiritual pills were not completely fused, revealing a few black lines, and became waste pills that could not be taken.

Zhang Zhixuan quickly put away the remaining three spiritual pills. As for the seven waste spiritual pills, he also put them away and put them in a jade bottle, preparing to study them after a while and summarize the characteristics of these waste pills.

After refining three spiritual pills, he was able to recover half of his capital. Although he lost more than 10,000 spiritual stones in this pill refining, he finally became a fourth-level middle-grade alchemist, and he could be more confident in the competition with Luo Ziyan.

At least in the three southeastern counties where the Zhang family has a strong influence, Zhang Zhixuan will take up most of the third-level elixir market. In the four northern counties, relying on the large number of Zhang family stores, he can also occupy a part of the market and earn more resources.

Taiwei Dan is an elixir that can increase the power of eight years. The medicinal power of this elixir is very overbearing. A cultivator can only take one pill in his lifetime. If he wants to take this elixir, he will not be able to take any other elixir for ten years before and after taking the elixir.

Zhang Zhixuan had taken Xuanyang Dan two years ago. If he wants to take Taiwei Dan, he needs to wait for eight years, and this elixir can only be preserved for three years.

So Zhang Zhixuan exchanged the remaining two elixirs for the Qingxuan Sect's General Affairs Hall in exchange for 7,000 good deeds.

Hanyan has not taken any elixir for more than ten years. After getting Taiwei Dan, he immediately chose to retreat for a long time. She has been practicing to the fifth level of the Purple Mansion for several years. With the help of the power of Taiwei Dan, she successfully broke through the realm after seclusion and caught up with Zhang Zhixuan in terms of cultivation.

After entering the Purple Mansion period, although Qingchan's progress in cultivation far surpassed the two, compared with other Purple Mansion cultivators in the sect, their cultivation speed is still in the first gear. Even Hu Peiyu, who is also a cultivator with different spiritual roots, was entangled by obsessions in the early stage, and his cultivation speed was far slower than Hanyan at this stage of the Purple Mansion period.

Because of his self-created skills, Zhang Zhixuan's understanding of the Tao far exceeds his peers. He entered enlightenment twice and improved his realm by two levels.

If he followed the normal progress of cultivation, even if he did not encounter any bottlenecks, his current cultivation should still be at the fourth level of the Purple Mansion, far inferior to Hanyan with different spiritual roots.
