Chapter 181 The mysterious old man refines the soul-restoring pill

The extremely dense Yin energy quickly spread throughout the Yin Qi Valley.

An illusory shadow of an old man also emerged from the cave.

The old man's face was very blurry and his body was very thin.

But he had silver hair that almost reached his waist.

He moved his feet in the air with difficulty.

The sound of iron chains rattling was also heard.

If someone were here, they would definitely notice that this illusory old man had several chains as thick as bowls on his limbs.

One end of the chain firmly bound his body, and the other end extended deep into the cave.

"After so many years, can this old man finally reach this point?"

The old man sighed softly, his tone full of vicissitudes and anger.

At this moment, the old man took another step forward.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound was heard from the iron chain that locked him.

Golden lightning bolts as thick as bowls lashed the old man's illusory body like long whips.

Snapped!

Boom!

Snapped!

Boom!

……

Every time a thunder and lightning attack comes, my illusory figure disappears a little.

After dozens of lightning attacks, the old man's illusory figure finally showed signs of being unable to hold on, as if it could disappear into thin air at any time.

Seeing this, the old man suddenly burst into laughter.

“Haha… This Soul-Locking Thunder Whip has whipped me fifty times, but it still hasn’t killed me.”

"It seems that the seal placed by True Lord Yuling back then will not last long."

"The day I leave here will be the day to destroy the Yuling Sect."

The old man cursed angrily, dragged the iron chain unwillingly, and slowly walked towards the cave.

At this moment, the lightning attacks that kept appearing on the chains finally disappeared completely.

Chen Xuan didn't know all this.

When the turmoil occurred in the Yin Qi Valley, he had already been taken away by Purple Lightning Golden Peng and had long since left the Yin Qi Valley.

……

In the Ziyun Mountains, in an unknown valley.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered in the valley, forming a thick fog.

Chen Xuan’s divine sense swept around.

When he saw that there were only dozens of Iron-toothed Silver Wolves in the valley, he immediately looked delighted.

"The Iron-Tooth Silver Wolf is only a second-level demon beast, and its highest realm is only the initial stage of foundation building."

"This valley is rich in spiritual energy, and it should be the lair of the Iron-toothed Silver Wolf."

"However, the spiritual energy here is rich, and it is deep in the Ziyun Mountains. It is a good place for retreat and cultivation."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, and with a thought he contacted his group of monsters.

"Go, kill these iron-toothed silver wolves."

At Chen Xuan's command, the four monsters rushed out frantically.

Soon, there were lightning and thunder in the valley, and screams could be heard.

With the realm and combat effectiveness of the four great monster beasts, a pack of four iron-toothed silver wolves in the early stage of foundation building could not hold on for long.

In just one meal's time, all of Chen Xuan's four great monsters were killed.

"Chirp!"

The purple golden roc appeared in front of Chen Xuan and chirped softly at him.

It seemed like they were saying that they had completed the task assigned by Chen Xuan.

"Well done!"

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction and returned to the valley with Purple Lightning Golden Peng.

hum!

His spiritual thoughts scattered, and Chen Xuan carefully examined the valley.

Make sure there are no potential threats in the valley.

And after finding out that there were no signs of other monsters or beasts within a radius of more than 20 miles, he felt very satisfied.

"The Iron-toothed Silver Wolf is vulnerable in my eyes, but it is still very powerful to other monsters."

"Also, demon beasts have a strong sense of territory. Since this place is occupied by the Iron-toothed Silver Wolf, ordinary demon beasts will naturally not come here."

"In this way, I can open a cave here to retreat, which is quite comfortable."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and chose a cliff in the valley.

After activating a top-grade spiritual flying sword, he personally opened up a cave and then moved in with the four monsters.

"Next, I need to practice in seclusion. You four guys will protect me in the cave."

"Remember, no matter what the situation is, don't let the outside world disturb me."

Chen Xuan ordered.

Seeing the four monsters nodding one after another, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good, if that's the case, I'm relieved."

This time, Chen Xuan came to Ziyun Mountains in a hurry.

The preparation is not sufficient.

Although the temporary cave is nice, it has no protective formation.

Helplessly, Chen Xuan could only let the four monsters guard the cave.

This is actually a helpless move.

"After I come out of seclusion this time, I will definitely make a set of protective formations to carry with me."

"From now on, no matter where you open a temporary cave, it can be used."

Chen Xuan muttered softly and soon arrived at the space of the Beast Taming Tower.

hum!

In the cold pool, extremely pure spiritual energy rapidly gathered towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan ignored all this and his mind quickly fell into the depths of the cold pool.

I saw that the group of wild phantom flame moths also became quiet.

They all lay at the bottom of the cold pool, like a huge ball, and fell into a deep sleep.

A long time ago, the golden sparrow swallow eggs that Chen Xuan placed in the cold pool to hatch showed no signs of hatching, except that the vitality had become a little stronger.

"Could it be that, like the Purple Lightning Golden Roc, it is also a creature that is difficult to hatch?"

Chen Xuan sighed lightly, but did not interfere with the hatching of the golden sparrow swallow eggs.

The Golden Sparrow Spirit Swallow is only a third-level demon beast.

Although in the eyes of many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is already considered a very powerful monster.

To Chen Xuan, who possesses the fourth-level demon beast Purple Lightning Golden Peng, it is nothing.

"After the Golden Sparrow Spirit Swallow's egg hatches, why not give it to Senior Brother Liu."

"He is currently only at the tenth level of Qi Refining. With this golden sparrow, no one in the Yuling Sect dares to provoke him easily."

Chen Xuan said softly.

When the battle in Qianmai Canyon was at its most intense, Liu Lan was also sent to the front by the Yuling Sect to serve as low-level cannon fodder.

What made Chen Xuan feel fortunate was that when the Yinshi Demon Sect attacked the three headquarters of the Yuling Sect, Liu Lan escorted a batch of supplies and returned to the Yuling Sect.

Fortunately, he managed to save his life.

Although Chen Xuan had not heard from Liu Lan for such a long time, Chen Xuan asked himself that Liu Lan, who was in the Yuling Sect, should not have any major safety issues.

"Let me think about myself. Now, I have gathered all the spiritual medicines for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill."

"Next, I should also study the recipe of the Soul-Restoring Pill and refine it."

Chen Xuan whispered softly.

After finding a place to sit down, he calmed his mind and activated the Secret of Controlling Spirits.

Chen Xuan stopped only after the spiritual power in his dantian had fully recovered to its peak state.

With a flip of his hand, Chen Xuan took out a jade slip and studied it carefully.

The content in the jade slip is the recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill.

Chen Xuan's success rate in alchemy has now reached 100%.

Moreover, the rate of refining top-quality elixirs is also quite high.

But the refining of the soul-restoring pill is related to his life, so Chen Xuan dare not be careless.

Three full years passed in the Beast Taming Tower. Chen Xuan, who had just comprehended the recipe of the Soul-Restoring Pill, finally opened his eyes.

A look of understanding emerged on his face.

"The difficulty of refining the Soul-Restoring Pill is indeed greater than any other pill I have refined before."

"Fortunately, I have accumulated a lot of experience in alchemy over the years. I am quite confident in refining the Soul-Restoring Pill."

"Next, I should also refine the Soul-Restoring Pill."

Wow!

Chen Xuan waved his hand, and all the spiritual medicines needed to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill appeared in front of him.

Chen Xuan meticulously selected all the spiritual herbs such as the Soul-Returning Grass and Millennium Camphor Frost, and arranged them neatly in the order required for alchemy, and then activated the Fiery Black Cauldron.

hum!

A red flame emerged from under the Fiery Cauldron.

The terrifying flames caused the temperature in the Fiery Cauldron to surge in an instant.

In just a moment, the temperature in the Fiery Black Cauldron reached the optimal temperature for refining the elixir.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan, whose mind was completely attached to the Fiery Black Cauldron, cast a spell without hesitation.

He was the first to throw the Millennium Ice Frost and Soul-Returning Grass into the Fiery Black Cauldron.

boom!

The moment the two spiritual herbs were thrown into the Fiery Cauldron, they were burned to ashes by the raging flames.

Inside, the rich medicinal essence quickly condensed into crystal clear droplets and fell to the bottom of the Fiery Cauldron.

It kept spinning while making a puffing sound.

Chen Xuan's face was as calm as a lake, and he threw the elixirs needed for alchemy into the Fiery Black Cauldron one after another.

After only half an hour, all the medicines were purified by Chen Xuan.

The entire process of Chen Xuan refining the elixir was extremely smooth.

Nothing went wrong.

The medicinal essence in the Fiery Black Cauldron was also perfectly integrated under his control.

"If you want to refine a top-grade elixir, purification is the key. Although the essence of the medicinal power at this moment can also be used to refine a top-grade soul-restoring pill, it is not much."

"In order to refine more top-grade soul-restoring pills, I must purify the essence of the medicinal power again."

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

He continued to activate the Fiery Black Cauldron and purified the essence of the medicine several times. After making sure that there was not even a trace of impurities in the essence of the medicine, Chen Xuan was satisfied and continued to the next step of condensing the pill.

Just waiting in the Beast Taming Tower, another three hours passed.

There was a hint of fatigue in the eyes of Chen Xuan, who was controlling the Fiery Black Cauldron.

At this moment, a strange medicinal fragrance emanated from the Fiery Cauldron.

A five-colored glow quickly emerged from the Fiery Black Cauldron.

The originally quiet Fiery Black Cauldron was shaking violently.

"Done?"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

He fired several spells at the Fiery Black Cauldron.

After a moment, the lid of the tripod, which was tightly fitted, popped open.

Twelve soul-restoring pills as white as jade swam out from the fish.

Chen Xuan, who was well prepared, successfully put it into the jade bottle.

hum!

Chen Xuan's divine sense fell on the Soul-Restoring Pills. When he saw the furnace full of twelve Soul-Restoring Pills, each with full shapes and four pill patterns, indicating that they were all top-grade Soul-Restoring Pills, an expression of joy that was hard to conceal suddenly emerged on his face.

"Top-grade soul-restoring pill? Hard work pays off. Not a quarter of an hour of the time I spent was wasted."

Chen Xuan was extremely excited.

With his cultivation level at the middle stage of foundation building, Chen Xuan would not show the slightest sign of fatigue even if he just refined a furnace of top-grade soul-restoring pills.

The reason why this batch of soul-restoring pills made Chen Xuan particularly tired was that he had spent too much effort in purifying the essence of the medicinal power.

"Every time the medicinal essence is purified, the energy consumed will increase exponentially."

"This time, I purified the essence of the medicine for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill four times, which consumed too much energy."

"If it weren't for the Soul Controlling Technique that I practiced, which made my Dantian world much larger than that of an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."

Chen Xuan was filled with emotion.

This time, when refining the Soul-Restoring Pill, there were still many experiences in alchemy that he needed to summarize carefully.

Chen Xuan did not rush to take the soul-restoring pill. Instead, he took the opportunity to record the process of his pill refining in a blank jade slip for future reference.

After finishing all these, Chen Xuan practiced the Spirit Controlling Technique for a while.

After allowing his energy and spirit to fully recover to their peak state, he took out the top-grade soul-restoring pills and quickly threw one of them into his mouth.
