Chapter 223 Success with Difficulty

After Zhou Yiqiao left, Nan Feilong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His eyes wandered into the distance and he murmured.

"Elder Lucheng has been trying for more than a month, but there has been no progress yet. Now, we can only rely on Elder Yue to refine the elixir."

Nan Soqin, who had always been gentle and gentle and didn't talk much, now had a serious look on his face and spoke to everyone present.

"Father, dear uncles, the red-blooded python has been guarding the entrance of the Nan family since the founding of my Nan family. It can be said that he has witnessed the growth of our Nan family from a humble duckweed to the towering tree it is today."

"This rescue is not only to repay the loyalty of the red-blooded python, but also an opportunity to promote our Nan family to the outside world and promote our Nan family's strength."

"Based on Su Qin's suggestion, we cannot pin all our hopes on Elder Yue alone. If possible, our Nan family should spend a lot of money to hire fourth-level alchemy masters from other continents to try to refine it."

"In this way, even if it fails in the end, my Nan family can still gain fame from it."

Nan Shuqin's expression was calm, and there was not only a slight fluctuation in his words, but also like an ascetic monk who had escaped from worldly emotions.

As soon as she finished speaking, all the elders present echoed in unison.

"I think what niece Su Qin said is right. The red-blooded python can be regarded as the ancestor of my Nan family, so naturally we can't neglect it."

"Every effort should indeed be made."

Nan Feilong listened to everyone's words word for word, and then looked at Nan Shuqin admiringly.

"Suxin, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, it must be done in a big way so that everyone knows it, but at the same time, it can't be too public. Do you understand?"

Nan Feilong ordered.

Hearing this, Nan Shuqin took three steps in front of her father, bowed to him, and then solemnly agreed.

"The kid understands. Then the kid will leave and arrange a caravan to go to other continents to hire alchemy masters."

After seeing her take the order and leave, Nan Feilong spoke again.

"Okay, elders, please go away. Let's not mention this matter for now. Let's discuss it after the Danfang is confirmed to be correct."

"In addition, inform the head of the family to send several disciples to the Northeast Region to purchase a smaller batch of Deng Linghua to meet the needs of Elder Yue."

He murmured, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"I have an inexplicable hunch that this Yue Elder might give us a surprise..."

......

The breeze blows on the hills, the clear water reflects the clear sky, in the central pavilion in the backyard of Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Yiqiao was sitting leisurely on a stone bench, quietly admiring the fish swimming in the lake.

Several days have passed since he returned from the Treasure Pavilion.

Because of the need to try to refine ancient elixirs, all alchemy tasks in the alchemy hall have been suspended. Even the research on the Demonic Flame Beast Skin and the Seven Killing Techniques of Breaking the Cocoon has been postponed by Zhou Yiqiao.

But perhaps haste makes waste. In the past few days, whenever he wanted to mix the spiritual plant solution, he would always feel a blockage.

"Even the simplest mixing of spiritual liquid is difficult, let alone the most critical step of condensing the elixir."

Throwing out all the bait in his hand, Zhou Yiqiao murmured to himself as he watched the fish vying to jump out of the water.

"Oh, it's true that I am overestimating my abilities."

Zhou Yiqiao sighed, walked to the side and sat down on the wicker chair. He leaned back on the wicker chair and closed his eyes to rest.

After a long time, Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at Danfang on the table again.

"Since the step of mixing the liquid medicine cannot be carried out smoothly, we will use slow fire refining instead. Although the efficiency is a bit slower, it is better than being safe."

Zhou Yiqiao whispered, and immediately inspected Dan Fangzi carefully.

After a while, I reached out and picked up the pen and started writing and drawing on it.

The so-called slow-fire refining means that when refining the elixir, the liquid is not taken out as usual and used for later use. Instead, new spiritual plants are continuously added to the elixir furnace through a slow-fire elixir refining technique. Let’s break down the original step of mixing the spiritual liquid at once to increase the success rate.

However, the technique of slow fire requires that every time the alchemist adds a spiritual plant, he must separate a spiritual consciousness to constantly pay attention to the changes in the medicine, so as to avoid the slightest mistake and the failure of all previous efforts.

Therefore, this step is very cumbersome, has extremely high requirements for the alchemist, and is extremely risky for failure.

"My consciousness is far beyond that of ordinary people, maybe I can give it a try."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself and decided to take the risk.

After making up his mind, Zhou Yiqiao called the servants and gave a few instructions, then returned to the alchemy room again and immersed himself in the refining of the elixir.

Time flew by, and two more days passed. Zhou Yiqiao worked tirelessly and finally refined and successfully mixed the eighteen kinds of spiritual plants on the elixir.

"Success or failure depends on this!"

"Whoo~"

After carefully putting the mixed spiritual liquid back into the alchemy furnace, Zhou Yiqiao exhaled a breath of turbid air, with a look of determination in his eyes.

He held his breath and concentrated, circulating the spiritual power in his body. He shook his arms fiercely and slapped the cauldron of the Five Elements Gathering Furnace. In an instant, purple-gold flames spurted out from under the alchemy cauldron.

The spiritual fluid in the alchemy cauldron began to roll violently under the influence of the fire.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao narrowed his eyes slightly and made quick gestures with his hands.

As the handprints changed, the intensity of the cauldron fire gradually increased, and the temperature in the entire alchemy room rose rapidly.

"chichi"

The sound of boiling liquid medicine was heard endlessly, and as the alchemy fire rose, the entire alchemy cauldron vibrated slightly.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were sharp, his hands were dancing, and he didn't dare to slack off. He stared at the spiritual fluid in the alchemy cauldron, controlling the fire while waiting for it to gradually merge.

After a stick of incense, as the flames in the cauldron reached its peak, the lid of the cauldron suddenly opened.

"Shu~"

With a flash of cold light passing by, Zhou Yiqiao waved his right hand, and a dark red round pill that was as clear as a date stone was instantly suspended in the air.

"call......"

After the pill was suspended in the air, Zhou Yiqiao let out a long sigh of relief, and then removed the spiritual power from his hand. The pill fell into his hand, and the cauldron fire was extinguished instantly, and the entire Five Elements Gathering Furnace returned to its original appearance.

At this time, Zhou Yiqiao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, falling drop by drop.

"It finally succeeded. It seems that my guess was correct. The slow fire method can indeed solve this problem."

Wiping away the dense sweat stains on his forehead, Zhou Yiqiao muttered to himself.

Then put the elixir into the jade bottle and put it into the Qiankun bag.

Although the ancient elixir for treating red-blooded pythons has been prepared, Zhou Yiqiao is not in a hurry to go to the elixir hall to deliver the task.

"Most of the spiritual plants in this elixir are not included in my moon stone space. It is better to use the remaining time to ripen some in the moon stone space to add to my heritage."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself, then disappeared into the courtyard and escaped directly into the moon stone space.
