Chapter 2271 Seclusion: Alchemy and Array Formation

"You're too kind, senior sister."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then gave Yang Lu the Flowing Flower Pill and the Golden Immortal Pill in his hand.

Yang Lu happily put it away and returned to her seat.

From then on, no one made any more deals with Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan knew that even if these old guys had something he needed, they probably wouldn't take it out right now.

Since that's the case, Chen Xuan smiled and exchanged a few polite words with everyone before returning to his seat.

Although, when it was Chen Xuan's turn, his transaction didn't seem to go very well.

But Chen Xuan's trip was still worthwhile.

Putting everything else aside, the mere presence of the Crimson Water Black Dragon Demon Soul and the Crimson Water Black Dragon Essence Blood at the early Golden Immortal stage was enough to surprise Chen Xuan.

"After this trade fair ends, I will also take some time to go into seclusion."

"I can come out after Chen Peng has repaired the Dragon Tiger Leopard Flag!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

Wait for the transaction to close.

About two hours later, the transaction finally came to an end.

Cai Lin, who hosted this trade fair, also reappeared before everyone.

"Haha, judging from your expressions, I know you are all very satisfied with this trade fair. However, since we've all come together, we can't skip the sharing of our experiences!"

"However, I don't intend to be the first to share my insights. Now, let's have Senior Brother Weng share his cultivation experiences first!"

As Cai Lin spoke, he immediately led the applause.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.

Weng Tian was a powerful cultivator at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Although the cultivation method he practiced was not the same as Chen Xuan's.

However, the great path leads to the same destination, even if the routes are different.

Weng Tian's cultivation insights also had a similar effect on Chen Xuan.

Weng Tian did not disappoint everyone.

He immediately delivered valuable insights right from the start.

It was very beneficial to everyone present.

Next, Yang Lu, Senior Brother Bai, Black Dragon, Xu Mo, Fairy Ziyu, and others shared their cultivation experiences.

When it was Chen Xuan's turn, Chen Xuan was not stingy either.

He then shared his understanding of the power of the Five Elements.

This impressed everyone present.

"Junior Brother Chen, I never imagined that you, who have only been at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm for a short time, would have such a profound understanding of the power of the Five Elements. Even I must admit defeat!"

Weng Tian looked at Chen Xuan with admiration on his face.

"Senior Brother Weng is too kind. I only have some of my own humble opinions," Chen Xuan said with a laugh.

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed.

Upon returning to Hidden Dragon Valley, Chen Xuan immediately entered the Immortal Beast Tower for seclusion.

At this moment, Wu Zhaomei was still consolidating her cultivation level, so Chen Xuan didn't want to disturb her.

After casually finding a place to sit cross-legged, Chen Xuan had an idea and took out all the spoils he had gained from this trip.

The items included Taixing Stone, the Nebula Grand Array Diagram, Mingluan Grass, Ten Thousand Year Cold Soul, the Ancient Imperial Spirit Pill Recipe, the Red Water Black Dragon Demon Soul, the Red Water Black Dragon Essence Blood of the Early Golden Immortal, as well as a large amount of immortal minerals and immortal medicines.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over these rare and precious materials.

They quickly singled out the items needed to repair the dragon flag.

"I wonder how far Chen Peng has finished repairing the dragon flag. I'll go take a look first!"

Chen Xuan muttered something to himself, and with a thought, he vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, Chen Xuan was already in the lightning-attribute mimicry space.

Wow!

Between heaven and earth, the immense power of lightning rules swept in rapidly.

Even though Chen Xuan is now able to control the power of lightning.

Standing here, I still feel incredibly oppressed.

Chen Peng, on the other hand, adapted very well to everything here.

When Chen Xuan arrived, he was constantly repairing the dragon flag.

"I've met the master!"

The moment Chen Peng saw Chen Xuan, he immediately stopped and greeted him.

"I've brought you some things with me this time."

Chen Xuan smiled and handed the storage bag in his hand to Chen Peng.

After taking a curious glance, Chen Peng's expression brightened with delight.

"Master, the Crimson Water Black Dragon Demon Soul you found is of good quality. Integrate it into the Dragon Banner and refine it properly, and it will definitely restore the Dragon Banner's power to its full potential!"

"However, it will take some time before the dragon flag is repaired. I will contact you, Master, when necessary!"

"Also, I have another little idea!"

Chen Peng looked at Chen Xuan with a smile on his face.

"Oh? If you have any ideas, feel free to say them, and I'll give you some advice!" Chen Xuan said.

"Hehe, the Dragon-Tiger-Leopard Banner now needs to have its three main banners repaired. How about I modify this set of main banners and reforge them? In the end, I can forge a Dragon-Tiger-Leopard Banner that is not quite the same as the original. However, its power should still be greater than the original Dragon-Tiger-Leopard Banner. What do you think, Master?"

"I'm really surprised you have this idea. But we'll do everything as you wish. Just tell me what you need!"

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Peng agreed.

After a pause, Chen Peng continued, "Master, if we want to modify the Dragon-Tiger-Leopard Flag, it will probably take longer than originally planned. Please be prepared for this!"

"Good things come to those who wait. Just go ahead and do it!"

"Yes!"

After agreeing, Chen Peng got back to work.

Chen Xuan stood next to Chen Peng, watched him intently for a while, and then left immediately.

Returning to the side of the cold pool, Chen Xuan sorted out his belongings before considering his next cultivation path.

"In the coming period, I need to carefully prepare to deal with the inspectors from Yaoguang Cave. Therefore, improving my cultivation level is secondary. The key is to further enhance my combat strength!"

"If that's the case, then the cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique and the forging of the Nebula Array must be carried out simultaneously!"

"But in the meantime, I need to spend more time refining a batch of pills. Especially the Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill, I must refine it as soon as possible!"

Having arranged his upcoming cultivation plan, Chen Xuan flipped his hand, taking out the ancient formulas for the Spirit Control Pill and the Ice Soul Cold Spirit Pill, and began to study them diligently.

As for helping Wengtian refine the Golden Immortal Pill, it was not difficult for Chen Xuan at all.

He had long since mastered the steps of refining the Golden Immortal Pill.

He planned to refine the Golden Immortal Pill at the same time as refining the Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill.

An hour later, Chen Xuan had completely mastered the contents of the two pill formulas.

Soon, with a thought, he directly activated the Seven-Colored Cauldron to refine pills.

Wow!

The moment Chen Li appeared beneath the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron, the temperature inside the cauldron instantly rose.

Soon, the optimal temperature for refining the Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill was reached.

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry at all. He methodically threw the selected elixirs into the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

More than an hour later, Chen Xuan successfully refined the first batch of Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pills.

Soon, a terrifying calamity enveloped all the pills.

Another half hour passed, and the calamity finally dissipated.

Twelve ancient spirit-controlling pills appeared before Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan casually grabbed a handful of the twelve ancient spirit-controlling pills, and upon seeing that they were all of superior Dao-grade quality, he frowned slightly.

"My alchemy skills have indeed reached a bottleneck. I'm afraid that simply refining a large number of pills won't be enough to break through."

Chen Xuan sighed softly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he began to refine pills again.

A day later, Chen Xuan was surrounded by a pile of various pills.

Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill, Ice Soul Cold Spirit Pill, Golden Immortal Pill.

There were a total of twenty-four Golden Immortal Pills. Chen Xuan took out ten and planned to give them to Weng Tian.

He planned to keep the rest for himself.

As for the Ice Soul Cold Spirit Pill and the Ancient Imperial Spirit Pill, there are sixty of each.

Moreover, each one is a top-grade Dao-level item.

"Hehe, with so many pills, I can finally focus on my cultivation for a while!"

"As for the Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill, I plan to give ten to the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm. The rest will all be used to enhance the cultivation of the Iron-Tailed Scorpion Army."

Having said this, Chen Xuan immediately got up and left.

When he appeared again, he was already in the metallic mimicry space.

At this moment, Chen Chong is directing the demon beast army in training.

Upon seeing Chen Xuan approach, Chen Chong immediately stopped.

"Greetings, Master!" Chen Chong said happily.

"The training is good. However, the reason I came to see you this time is to offer the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm some benefits!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he gave Chen Chong ten ancient spirit-controlling pills.

"Take these pills and feed them to the Gold-Devouring Insect swarm. See if they can improve the swarm's cultivation level!"

"If it works, I can refine more to continue feeding the Gold-Eating Insect swarm!"

Chen Chong was overjoyed.

He quickly threw the ancient spirit-controlling pill that Chen Xuan had given him to the swarm of gold-devouring insects.

hum!

A swarm of gold-devouring insects rushed forward and quickly devoured all ten high-grade Dao-level Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pills.

To Chen Xuan's disappointment, the Gold-Eating Insects that had devoured the Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill did not see a significant increase in their cultivation levels.

Many of the Gold-Eating Insects are still stuck at the late-stage Great Perfection of Earth Immortal realm.

"I still can't break through to the Celestial Immortal realm. In that case, there's no need for me to use the Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill to feed the Gold-Devouring Insect swarm!"

Chen Xuan looked disappointed.

After instructing Chen Chong to train hard, he himself went to the earth-attribute mimicry space.

Wow!

Chen Xuan's arrival caused an instant sensation.

An army of 15,000 Iron-tailed Scorpions appeared beside Chen Xuan along with Chen Scorpion.

Each and every monster seemed incredibly friendly and joyful.

"Greetings, Master!" Chen Xie said with a smile.

"Well, I brought you some pills this time. Go find some Irontail Scorpions to feed them!"

"Yes!"

Chen Xie agreed and casually made a swipe.

One hundred Iron-tailed Scorpions swiftly flew from the Iron-tailed Scorpion army and automatically came to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over these iron-tailed scorpions.

Seeing that each of these Irontail Scorpions was extremely ferocious and that the cultivation level emanating from them was significantly stronger than that of other Irontail Scorpions, Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

“Very good. Distribute these ancient spirit-controlling pills to these iron-tailed scorpions.”

Chen Xuan took out ten ancient spirit-controlling pills and handed them to Chen Xie.

One hundred iron-tailed scorpions, ten for each.

Soon, the pills were distributed and devoured by a hundred iron-tailed scorpions.

Before long, Chen Xuan was pleasantly surprised to find that the aura emanating from these Iron-tailed Scorpions was rapidly increasing.

Compared to before, it's a significant improvement.

"I never imagined that the Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pill would be so effective in improving the Iron-Tailed Scorpion's cultivation."

"In that case, I will give all the remaining pills to Chen Xie."

Chen Xuan was secretly happy.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out the remaining forty Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pills and handed them to Chen Xie.

"Take these pills and feed them to these Iron-tailed Scorpions every now and then. I'll bring you some Ancient Spirit-Controlling Pills in a while!"

"Thank you, Master. With these ancient Spirit-Controlling Pills, my Iron-Tailed Scorpion army will be able to produce more Iron-Tailed Scorpions at the late-stage Great Perfection of Earth Immortal realm!"

"Haha, that's great! You all get back to work!"

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

With a thought, he returned to the side of the cold pool.

At this moment, he was still not busy cultivating.

Instead, he took out the Nebula Array formation diagram and studied it carefully.

After much deliberation, Chen Xuan decided to refine the Nebula Array first.

After all, the Nebula Formation is a formation that can withstand a full-force attack from an early-stage Golden Immortal without suffering any damage.

With this item, Chen Xuan would have the strength to rival even early-stage Golden Immortals when he went out.

hum!

With a thought, Chen Xuan's mind instantly conjured up the complete diagram of the Nebula Array.

Although the Nebula Array formation diagram is extremely difficult to comprehend.

The part about the power of the Great Dao was especially profound, leaving Chen Xuan feeling dizzy.

But Chen Xuan did not give up.

Through his perseverance, he gradually conquered the Nebula Array formation diagram.
