Chapter 656: Alchemy, Xue Jingyao's kindness

A familiar aura emanated from the jade slip.

Chen Xuan thought for a long time but couldn't remember who this familiar breath belonged to.

"Interesting, the aura this person left in this jade slip is somewhat familiar to me. However, perhaps it has been too long, and I can't remember who this person is."

Chen Xuan smiled secretly.

Soon, he put away the jade slip in his hand.

"This reward is very much to my liking. If so, I'll take it." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Xue Jingyao was overjoyed.

He chatted with Chen Xuan about some other things, agreed on a time to pick up the elixir, and then sent Chen Xuan away.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to leave.

He went to other places and inquired about the recent battle between the immortal cultivation world in Linhe Province and Master Hulan. Only then did he find a cave dwelling for himself in Qingyun Market to stay temporarily.

hum!

Chen Xuan waved his hand, and the protective formation in the cave was fully activated.

After releasing the golden sparrow and spirit swallow to protect himself, Chen Xuan had an idea and released the fox directly.

"I've met the master!"

Hu'er stood in front of Chen Xuan with a respectful look.

Chen Xuan glanced at Hu'er and said, "Hu'er, I need to retreat to make pills recently. You go out for a while and find out about the affairs of Fairy Tianyin and her group at the Xianle Palace."

"Yes!"

After the fox agreed, he left quickly.

After Chen Xuan walked into the secret training room, he had a thought and came directly to the space of the Beast Taming Tower.

After finding a place to sit down casually, Chen Xuan waved his hand and all the things he had obtained in Qingyun Market appeared in front of him.

The recipe for Xutian Pill, Earth Armor Scorpion King Demon Pill, Liuhe Formation, and Starlight Shield.

After Chen Xuan's eyes swept over these things one by one, he immediately picked up the Earth Armor Scorpion King Demon Pill.

"Among these things, this Earth Armor Scorpion King Demon Pill is the most cost-effective to buy."

Chen Xuan smiled faintly.

His divine sense fell on it and he examined it carefully.

After making sure that there was really no problem with the Earth-Armored Scorpion King's demon pill, Chen Xuan summoned the Red-Tailed Scorpion King over.

"Squeak!"

The Red-tailed Scorpion King joyfully rushed to Chen Xuan and rubbed the corner of Chen Xuan's clothes with his little head.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xuan played around with the Red-tailed Scorpion King for a while, and then threw the Earth-armored Scorpion King's demon pill to the Red-tailed Scorpion King.

"Here, this thing is a reward for you. It is a genuine Nascent Soul stage Earth-Armored Scorpion King Demon Pill. After you swallow it, you should have a good chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

The Red-tailed Scorpion King looked overjoyed.

Squeaking with joy.

Soon, it opened its mouth and swallowed the Earth-Armored Scorpion King's demon pill directly into its stomach.

After a while, the aura of the Red-tailed Scorpion King gradually rose.

The Red-tailed Scorpion King himself also began to feel drowsy.

Chen Xuan released his divine sense and checked carefully, confirming that there was nothing wrong with the Red-tailed Scorpion King itself.

However, after being temporarily unable to digest the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Earth Armor Scorpion King's demon pill, he smiled and sent the Red Tailed Scorpion King to the wood-attributed mimicry space, allowing it to seize the time to practice in seclusion.

“I hope that this time, after the Red-tailed Scorpion King devours the Earth Armor Hope Demon Pill, he can successfully advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

"If it is the Ice and Fire Dragon, it can also successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage. This also means that I have two Nascent Soul stage natal demon beasts."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's heart was full of anticipation.

Having two Nascent Soul stage monsters also means that Chen Xuan's combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

It was of great help to Chen Xuan in the battle.

At that time, even if it was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Chen Xuan would not be afraid at all.

After a moment, Chen Xuan's gaze continued to focus on the gains from his outing.

Xutian Pill is a pill used to improve the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Unfortunately, Chen Xuan did not have the materials to refine the Xutian Pill, and could not refine the Xutian Pill immediately.

I can only put the recipe of Xutian Pill aside for the time being.

As for the Liuhe Formation, it is a very powerful protective formation.

Chen Xuan planned to study it carefully later so that he could use it at any time when he encountered a strong enemy next time.

Only the Starlight Shield was left behind by Chen Xuan alone.

"I never thought that I would find a defensive magic treasure in Qingyun Market."

"In that case, I have to take one out as well and try to get familiar with the Starlight Shield as soon as possible."

After playing with it for a while, Chen Xuan tried to activate the universal Tongbao Jue to control the Starlight Shield.

After a moment, the spiritual power in Chen Xuan's body was rapidly injected into the Starlight Shield.

On the Starlight Shield, an extremely rich starlight continuously emanated.

A shield over ten feet in size, emitting rich starlight, suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the Starlight Shield, Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

"It is indeed a defensive magic treasure. The protective ability of the Starlight Shield is indeed extraordinary."

"However, in the next period of time, I still need to set aside some time every day to familiarize myself with the Starlight Shield."

After playing with it for a while, Chen Xuan put away the Starlight Shield.

After finishing all these, Chen Xuan took out the storage bag that Xue Jingyao gave him.

What is contained in it are the pill recipes and elixirs that Chen Xuan needs to refine.

Chen Xuan checked it carefully and confirmed that it was correct. Then he took out the pill formula and studied it seriously.

After more than ten days had passed in the Beast Taming Tower, Chen Xuan finally opened his eyes.

"Xuanlong Pill? This is also a kind of pill used to improve the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul stage."

"Since I am unable to refine the Xutian Pill for the time being, I can temporarily use the Xuanlong Pill instead for my next practice."

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

The pills he refined were made in batches of twelve pills per furnace.

In this way, each furnace will produce two more pills than those made by ordinary alchemists.

Moreover, Chen Xuan’s success rate in refining elixirs is extremely high.

At that time, Chen Xuan only needs to pay Xue Jingyao for the elixir based on the 60% success rate.

All the extra pills will fall into Chen Xuan's pocket.

This is also the hidden benefit of Chen Xuan refining pills for others.

Of course, if it were another alchemist, he would have to hand over all the pills he made.

hum!

With a thought, Chen Xuan directly activated the Soul-Cangling Cauldron.

The essence of Li Fire also appeared under the Soul Cauldron in an instant.

A pale golden flame kept burning beneath the Soul Cauldron.

The raging fire caused the temperature in the Soul Cauldron to continue to rise.

Chen Xuan, however, was doing two things at once at this moment.

While controlling the Soul-Cangding Cauldron, he was constantly selecting spiritual medicines.

After he had completed all the preparations, the temperature in the Soul Cauldron had just reached the optimal temperature for refining the elixir.

Chen Xuan was not polite.

He directly threw several spiritual herbs into the Soul Storage Cauldron.

Wow!

The terrifyingly high temperature burned the impurities in the elixir into ashes on the spot.

Only the essence of the medicine fell completely to the bottom of the Soul Storage Cauldron.

It condensed into a crystal clear liquid bead, spinning non-stop.

Chen Xuan did not stop, all his thoughts fell on the Soul Storage Cauldron.

At this moment, he could see every detail in the Soul Cauldron.

Especially the temperature changes in the Soul Storage Cauldron, Chen Xuan could sense it clearly.

After a while, Chen Xuan followed the procedures and threw the remaining elixirs into the Soul Storage Cauldron.

About half an hour later, a five-colored light emerged from the sky above the Cangling Cauldron.

Soon, an extremely pure medicinal fragrance began to emanate.

"It's done!"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

The magic gestures in his hands changed rapidly.

After a moment, the tightly closed Soul-Cavern suddenly popped open with a bang.

A furnace of twelve Xuanlong pills came out one after another from the Cangling Cauldron.

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

hum!

Chen Xuan's divine consciousness fell into the jade bottle again.

Seeing the newly refined Xuanlong Pills, each one was as white as jade and as big as a longan.

Moreover, each of them had four eye-catching elixir patterns on it, indicating that they were all top-grade elixirs. Only then did Chen Xuan smile with satisfaction.

"Go on. Try to refine the Xuanlong Pill as soon as possible so that I can focus on my own affairs."

Chen Xuan chuckled and hurried to continue refining the elixir.

It took two days in the Beast Taming Tower before Chen Xuan finished refining all the pills.

After Chen Xuan took out a portion of the pills belonging to Xue Jingyao, he placed all the remaining pills in front of his hand.

Then, Chen Xuan picked up a Xuanlong Pill, swallowed it, and quickly activated the Yuling Zhenjue to refine it.

After waiting in the Beast Taming Tower for half a year, Chen Xuan, who was meditating and practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.

Soon, Chen Xuan disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already outside the temporary cave where he lived.

Seeing Xue Jingyao waiting quietly outside, Chen Xuan showed a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect the fairy to be so powerful. She could find me easily in Qingyun Market." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Chen, don't think too much. Qingyun Market is not big. As long as I ask around carefully, I will definitely be able to find your whereabouts, Brother Chen."

"It's just that I came here this time to get the elixir. I wonder if you have succeeded in refining it, Brother Chen?"

Xue Jingyao's beautiful eyes moved around, full of anticipation.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "The elixir has been refined a long time ago. I was originally planning to deliver it to you personally. Unfortunately, I was delayed due to some things. I didn't expect that you, the fairy, would come here in person. Please come in!"

Xue Jingyao nodded and walked into the cave with Chen Xuan.

hum!

Chen Xuan waved his hand, and the protective formation in the cave was quickly activated.

After Xue Jingyao sat down, Chen Xuan handed a storage bag directly to Xue Jingyao.

"Fairy, this is your pill, please take a look!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Xue Jingyao's mind swept over the storage bag that Chen Xuan handed over, and when she saw that every pill inside was a top-grade pill, she immediately looked overjoyed.

"Brother Chen, your alchemy skills are really powerful. If I didn't know that you were from the immortal cultivation world of Linhe Province, I would probably think that Brother Chen, you are an alchemist from the Alchemist Association." Xue Jingyao said meaningfully.

Chen Xuan laughed it off, but quickly changed the subject.

After the two chatted for a while, Xue Jingyao took out a jade slip and handed it to Chen Xuan.

"Brother Chen, this is a little gift from me, please don't despise it!"

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned.

If Xue Jingyao gave him the spirit stones directly, he could understand it.

But at this time, Xue Jingyao handed him a jade slip, which made Chen Xuan quite curious.

"What does this mean, fairy?"
