Chapter 554: Monster Rebellion

Zhang Zhixuan actually felt a little bit of difficulty when refining the third furnace of the fourth-level spiritual pill, but his cultivation level had already reached the second level of the Golden Pill, and his mana and consciousness were also very extraordinary. He still gritted his teeth and overcame the difficulties, but the success rate of the pill was not very high, and he only refined two spiritual pills.

One Creation Spirit Cloud Pill costs 15,000 spiritual stones. After refining two spiritual pills, he lost more than 10,000 spiritual stones.

However, Zhang Zhixuan is now rich and powerful. Compared with Luo Ziyan who is preparing to form a pill, Zhang Zhixuan still has hundreds of thousands of good deeds in the sect.

After refining the Creation Spirit Cloud Pill, Zhang Zhixuan recovered his mana and immediately continued to refine the Green Cloud Pill while in good condition.

The Green Cloud Pill recipe is relatively simple among the fifth-level pill recipes. Zhang Zhixuan has mastered the recipe for many years and has a better understanding of the pharmacology of the recipe.

He threw the spiritual medicines into the Fire Stork Furnace one by one, and finally put in the fifth-level spiritual medicine Green Cloud Mushroom, and then continuously urged the Fire Stork Furnace to refine the pill liquid.

Zhang Zhixuan had been preparing for this day for many years. He carefully considered every step he took, and soon he turned the green cloud fungus into liquid elixir.

A strong fragrance instantly drifted out from the alchemy room. The nearby cultivators smelled the fragrance and felt refreshed in an instant.

"Qingchan, you are knowledgeable. Do you think Zhixuan can make the elixir?" Han Yan, who was protecting Zhang Zhixuan, looked at Qingchan who was calm and composed, and asked nervously.

"It seems that the probability of success is more than half. Brother Zhixuan has a good talent in alchemy. He makes full preparations every time he makes an alchemy and rarely wastes materials. However, even if the alchemy fails, it is also a valuable experience. As long as we can learn from the lessons, we will definitely wait for the day of success next time."

Just as the two chatted with each other, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy also reached the most critical moment. Although he had strong magic power and extraordinary spiritual awareness, the external conditions for refining the fifth-level elixir were ripe, but unfortunately, due to lack of experience, some problems were exposed in the process of refining the elixir, and finally only barely refined one Biyun Pill.

A Biyun Pill costs 20,000 spirit stones. Compared with the cost of alchemy, refining a Biyun Pill is equivalent to a loss of 40,000 spirit stones.

Although he successfully refined the fifth-level elixir this time and became a fifth-level lower-grade alchemist, the total loss of spirit stones exceeded 50,000.

Even if there was some profit from refining the fourth-level elixir twice before, it could not make up for this big hole.

Even if a fifth-level lower-grade alchemist can barely refine a fifth-level elixir, he will often lose a lot of capital. However, elixirs above the fifth level are very rare. Even at the Qi State Wanbao Conference, only a few will be released.

Jin Laozu, Lu Hongniang and other Jindan-stage cultivators have no conditions to take fifth-level elixirs for cultivation.

Zhang Zhixuan became a fifth-level lower-grade alchemist. He can also prepare to refine some fourth-level upper-grade elixirs, and the success rate can reach more than 30%. At least refining fourth-level upper-grade elixirs will not lose capital.

The most important thing is that his success rate in refining foundation-building pills in the future will be stable at more than 70%. If he is a little luckier, he can even refine eight elixirs. The cost of refining one foundation-building pill is less than 4,000.

In recent years, the Qingxuan Sect has also developed greatly, and the foundation of the sect is stronger. In particular, the investment in the spiritual medicine garden is huge. Basically, all the auxiliary spiritual medicines for the sect's collection of pills can be collected.

Although it is impossible to mature more chalcedony gold mushrooms due to the short time, under normal circumstances, at least 20 furnaces of foundation-building pills can be refined in a hundred years.

Compared with Luo Ziyan, Zhang Zhixuan can refine at least 30 more foundation-building pills.

With the increase in the number of foundation-building pills, it is easier for the sect to train younger cultivators.

After Zhang Zhixuan broke through the fifth-level alchemist, the sect's spiritual pills above the fourth level were almost monopolized by him.

There are not many opportunities to refine fourth-level spiritual pills, and the furnace will only be opened once every three to five years.

In addition to refining foundation pills, which is about a ten-year cycle, Zhang Zhixuan can earn 20,000 good deeds, and the total time invested is less than one year. In addition to his annual salary of 5,000 and some miscellaneous income, Zhang Zhixuan's annual income is about less than 10,000 under normal circumstances.

Qing Chan's talisman making skills are more advanced. Not only does he monopolize the high-level spiritual talisman market within the Qingxuan Sect, but he can also sell spiritual talismans to Song and Yu, and his annual income is more than Zhang Zhixuan.

After refining the fifth-level elixir, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Qingchan's cultivation level broke through again, and she actually surpassed Lu Hongniang in cultivating to the fourth level of the golden elixir, breaking through the middle stage of the golden elixir.

As her cultivation level increased, some memories of her previous life were recalled.

Even without considering the Purple Sun Sky Fire, her current magical power is not weaker than that of the masters of the eighth and ninth levels of the golden elixir, which is already quite difficult to deal with.

Since the two of them practiced together, the last layer of relationship was broken, and they became closer.

Qingchan gently leaned on Zhang Zhixuan's shoulder, feeling the warmth of his broad shoulders. The two had just whispered for a while, and a sound transmission note was suddenly sent to the cave.

Being interrupted, Qingchan's face suddenly became a little unhappy.

Zhang Zhixuan patted her shoulder and opened the sound transmission note.

Hearing the news from the sound transmission note, the faces of the two suddenly became a little ugly.

The sound transmission note was sent by the old ancestor Jin. Just one day ago, the monsters of the Southern Wilderness appeared in the Southern Wilderness on a large scale.

The monster first appeared in Yunling Mountain, which is a fourth-level middle-grade spiritual vein, located south of Guiyuan Mountain.

The monks of Nanlu Pavilion occupied this spiritual mountain. After their defeat, they were arranged by Qingxuan Sect to live in the Southern Wilderness and became vassals of the sect. In recent decades, they have been relatively obedient and never complained.

During this sixty years, the monks of Nanlu Pavilion recovered a little. Not only did Huo Kaicheng cultivate to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, but Chen Yuanyou and Yu Yunzhong also made progress in their cultivation. They even cultivated a Purple Mansion and more than a dozen foundation-building monks.

Unexpectedly, the intensity of the monster invasion this time was far greater than the last time. In a very short time, the monks of Nanlu Pavilion could not support it and sent a sound transmission note to Lu Hongniang in a panic for help.

At the critical moment when Lu Hongniang led people to reinforce, she was ambushed by three fifth-level monsters. If Lu Hongniang had not seen the opportunity quickly and fled desperately on the spirit boat, I am afraid that she, the Jindan ancestor, would have been killed by the monsters.

Even so, in this battle, the sect also lost two spirit boats and seventeen foundation-building monks. Even the purple mansion monks Zhao Xinlian and Wei Zongxun were not spared.

Zhang Tongcheng, the formation master of the Zhang family, was also killed in this battle because he followed his master Wei Zongxun.

After the destruction of Hongshan Sect, Qingxuan Sect enjoyed peace for sixty years.

During these sixty years, the sect's power was growing day by day, and it had never lost a Purple Mansion cultivator. Even in the eighty-year-long war with Hongshan Sect, no two Purple Mansion cultivators were killed at once.

This blow immediately made Jin Laozu feel pain in his bones, but Jin Laozu was a mature and prudent person. Although Lu Hongniang was seriously injured and trapped in Guiyuan Mountain, he still had to make full preparations before going to reinforce.

He used the spiritual jade book to immediately inform Zhang Zhixuan of the news, wanting to ask Zhang Zhixuan's opinion before making the next plan.
