Chapter 962: Refining the Nurturing Pill

The spiritual medicines were collected, the sixth-level earth fire room was built, and all preparations were made. Zhang Zhixuan immediately started to refine the pill.

Because his injuries had not healed, if there was an accident during the alchemy, such as a furnace explosion or fire surge, it would likely cause his injuries to worsen. In order to be foolproof, Liu Lingjun, who had the highest cultivation, ended his retreat early and came to Huohu Mountain to protect him and assist him in refining the infant-cultivating pill.

Zhang Zhixuan's consciousness moved, and a wisp of consciousness rushed directly into the alchemy furnace.

Zhang Zhixuan was already very familiar with the sixth-level superior purple gold Qianyang Ding, and had used this alchemy furnace many times.

Besides, he had already had the experience of refining the infant-cultivating pill once.

Of course, Zhao Dengyun was mainly responsible for refining the infant-cultivating pill that time, and Zhang Zhixuan just helped out as an assistant.

Because his dantian was damaged, Zhang Zhixuan did not dare to activate the pure yang true fire to refine the elixir. This time, he was focused on stability and carefully controlled the alchemy furnace. It took him six years to refine the Bu Tian Zhi.

Slowly using the earth fire to refine the elixir, Zhang Zhixuan's understanding of alchemy increased a little.

Although he successfully broke through to the sixth-level middle-grade alchemist, his experience in refining sixth-level elixir was not as good as Zhao Dengyun.

It took only two furnaces of the sixth-level middle-grade elixir, including the assistance.

Comprehending the different medicinal properties of the three sixth-level elixir, Zhang Zhixuan gradually showed a smile on his face.

The elixir turned into a fist-sized elixir liquid, which gradually condensed into a round shape, but the core of the elixir still contained an indescribable temperature.

Because of his injuries, Zhang Zhixuan could only slow down the process of refining the elixir.

Originally, he could refine a furnace of infant cultivation elixir in three years, but it took him six years.

Anyway, he needed to recover from his injuries and could not practice for a decade. He could only use it to refine pills and tools. He could make the best use of it and did not care about wasting time.

At the critical moment of condensing the pill, Zhang Zhixuan became more cautious.

He released his spiritual consciousness and stared at the purple gold Qianyang Ding carefully. Suddenly, he shouted: "Open the top cover."

Because Zhang Zhixuan was injured and his mana was not strong enough, he could only ask Liu Lingjun to open the furnace.

A wave of mana rushed into the alchemy furnace frantically, and the originally stable flame immediately surged.

The fire of the earth lung suddenly lost control and suddenly surged, turning into a gray-blue color, trying to rush into the alchemy furnace.

Once the fire poison was contaminated with the elixir, this furnace of elixir would become a waste elixir and could not be used. Zhang Zhixuan was unwilling to accept such a situation.

The alchemy furnace trembled slightly, the breath in the furnace surged, and the hot energy burned Zhang Zhixuan's skin red. If a low-level cultivator was nearby, this powerful energy would be enough to evaporate the moisture on his body and burn him into a mummy.

Therefore, when high-level alchemists are refining pills, cultivators with insufficient cultivation must stay away from them to avoid suffering from unwarranted disasters and losing their lives in vain.

Not only in refining pills, but also in daily practice, low-level cultivators should try to stay away from high-level cultivators.

As a Yuanying master, sometimes when practicing magic to break through the realm, it may emit energy aftermath, killing nearby Qi training, foundation building and purple mansion.

When the cultivation reaches the Yuanshen, the body will emit powerful mana fluctuations, which have strong energy radiation and are of no benefit to low-level cultivators.

Unless the Yuanshen cultivator consumes energy to restrain his breath, even the purple mansion cultivator cannot get close.

Therefore, the Yuanshen ancestors of a sect often stay away from the secular world, practice in seclusion, and do not contact low-level cultivators, so as not to cause unclear killings.

Zhang Zhixuan transformed into a flaming hand and fiercely suppressed the violent earth fire.

Liu Lingjun quickly played a pill collection method and put the refined Peiying pill into the jade bottle.

Although her alchemy skills were not very advanced, she had practiced for 1,400 years. Even if she had invested less time in this area and had no talent, she had improved her alchemy skills to the fifth-grade upper grade, which was better than most Jindan cultivators.

Even if she could not help Zhang Zhixuan a lot in refining Peiying Dan, she could still play a little role and complete the step of opening the alchemy furnace and collecting the elixir.

Although she did not fail in refining Peiying Dan this time, she was lucky enough to refine the elixir.

However, the success rate was very low, only 10%.

Such a low success rate was far less than the cooperation with Dongxuan Sect.

The resources invested were far more than last time, and the gap made Zhang Zhixuan secretly shake his head.

However, Bu Tianzhi lost a lot of medicinal power, and Zhang Zhixuan was also suffering from an old illness, so it was a great luck to refine the elixir. Eight out of ten things in the world are not as good as expected, and Zhang Zhixuan should not expect it.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan was a little unhappy, Liu Lingjun advised: "No matter what the success rate is, it is a spiritual pill after all. It is not a waste of time. Besides, the spiritual medicines invested this time, the Bu Tian Zhi and the sixth-level demon pill are all unexpected gains. It is not a big loss to exchange for a Peiying Pill. After all, there are some gains, and the master has also improved the alchemy skills."

Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "Lingjun is right, it is indeed not necessary to force it."

Looking at this Peiying Pill, Zhang Zhixuan thought to himself: "After the epidemic, there are still three ninth-level Jindan cultivators in the sect. Unfortunately, these three people have insufficient foundations. This Peiying Pill may not have an immediate effect and cannot cultivate a Yuanying master."

Among the three existing Jindan cultivators in Ziyang Sect, Lin Shaoyou is the oldest and his life span is about to run out. This person is Xia Youqing's disciple. He cultivated to the ninth level of Jindan a hundred years ago. In terms of seniority and merit, it should be his turn.

In addition to Lin Shaoyou, there are two other Jindan cultivators who have just advanced to the ninth level.

These two people are relatively inexperienced, and both succeeded in forming a golden elixir after the battle at Lingjing Mountain.

One of them is named Wei Jinwen, who is about the same age as Zhang Zhixuan. He is also a Jindan cultivator who has exhausted his potential. If he does not have a chance that goes against the will of heaven, it is difficult for him to refine into a Yuanying. At this age, a Jindan ninth-level cultivator can hardly see a way out.

The last one has a little more prospects, and his life span is about 600 years old. This person is Zhang Sidao's daughter Zhang Yunlan.

She is relatively smooth on the road of cultivation. Although she participated in the battle of Lingjing Mountain, she was unscathed. Over the years, she has smoothly cultivated to the ninth level of Jindan, and her chances are better than her father Zhang Sidao and uncle Zhang Sihong.

Among the three people, Wei Jinwen does not have a strong relationship with the upper echelons of the sect, and may not be able to collect the good deeds to exchange for Peiying Pills.

Whether the Peiying Pill is given to Lin Shaoyou or Zhang Yunlan, it is likely that it will not be able to refine into a Yuanying, and it is likely that this precious spiritual object will be wasted.

Among the ten Yuanying cultivators in Ziyang Sect, except for the two Dharmakaya Yuanying cultivators, only Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan achieved success in one go, and became Yuanying cultivators at the age of 200 to 300 years old. Even with Liu Lingjun's talent, he would have to be 400 years old to become a Yuanying cultivator.

Ziyang Sect now has more than 70 Jindan cultivators, and the one with the best spiritual root is Zhang Zhenlin. This person has a natural spiritual root. If resources are invested, the probability of refining a Yuanying is more than half.

The first three Tianling root cultivators in Ziyang Sect, Qingchan, Xia Youqing, and Li Yunxiu, all successfully formed infants. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhenlin's cultivation is still low. If he wants to impact the Yuanying realm, it may take about 200 years, and the Peiying Pill cannot be preserved for that long.

Peiying Pill cannot be preserved for a long time, and the sect must also maintain relative fairness. Lin Shaoyou, Wei Jinwen and other Jindan have been looking forward to this moment for many years.

For these people, the sect must provide some channels for advancement, especially Lin Shaoyou, who has participated in many tough battles of the sect. Even if he has not made any extraordinary achievements, he has made great contributions, which gives them some hope.
