Chapter 43 Alchemy

"Having Su Hu as a shield has both advantages and disadvantages. If Su Xueyuan focuses entirely on him, she will think that I am no longer useful, and may even take my life herself. With my current cultivation, I have no chance of winning."

Back in the house, Ye Chunyang frowned and thought about his future plans.

"I have just broken through the eighth level of Qi Refining, and I cannot break through the lower level in a short period of time. If I want to strengthen my strength, I am afraid I will have to rely on some external forces."

Ye Chunyang tapped the table with his fingers. Realm does not represent strength. Magical weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. are also the key to defeating the enemy. Even if the external force is strong enough, it is not impossible to fight against the enemy at a higher level.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and walked to the backyard.

When he saw that the spiritual herbs in the yard had grown to more than half a person's height, he smiled with satisfaction.

These spiritual herbs were all extorted from Tianbao Pavilion. Not only are there auxiliary medicinal materials needed to refine the foundation-building pill, but there are also many other spiritual herbs with other properties. They were irrigated with a spiritual spoon before, and they have medicinal properties of hundreds of years in just a few days.

"The spiritual herbs are ready, and now is the best time to refine the medicine."

After picking the spiritual herbs, Ye Chunyang put out the cold iron pill furnace.

"This furnace is a cold iron pill furnace. Now I have not reached the foundation-building stage, so I can only use the five elements of fire to open the furnace." Closing his eyes and recalling the method of refining the foundation-building pill, Ye Chunyang immediately took back the invisible talisman on Ye Xiaobao's body, and the two bodies sat cross-legged in front of the pill furnace.

From the spiritual medicine map, it is known that the ancient foundation-building pill is far more effective than the one made by the current alchemist. Now he is going to refine it according to the ancient recipe of the spiritual medicine map.

Condensing the five elements of fire consumes a lot of spiritual power, so before opening the furnace, he first absorbs the spiritual stone to adjust his own state, and finally communicates with Ye Xiaobao with the origin of the heavenly scripture, so that the spiritual roots of the two bodies merge together.

He urged the spiritual power, and the light suddenly gathered on the main body. At the same time, Ye Xiaobao also pinched his hands.

A ball of colorful spiritual fire with different attributes slowly rose up. Under the control of Ye Chunyang's consciousness, this exquisite flame suddenly fell into the cold iron furnace with a swoosh.

Instantly, the flame in the furnace rose, emitting dazzling waves, but surprisingly, after the fire was ignited, no heat could be felt on the surface, as if the high temperature of the five elements of fire was isolated.

"The cold iron furnace is really amazing, it can actually isolate the fire temperature."

Ye Chunyang secretly praised it. It is common for the medicinal power to leak out during alchemy, causing the furnace to explode. Some people even lost their lives because of this. However, this cold iron furnace isolates the fire temperature and avoids the danger of explosion.

Staring at the fire, he selected a few ordinary spiritual herbs and put them into the furnace.

Although he had mastered many ancient recipes from the spiritual medicine map of the Holy Pattern Cauldron, this cold iron pill furnace was rare in the world after all, and the foundation-building pill was a top-grade pill, and the refining process was extremely complicated. In order to be cautious, Ye Chunyang decided to try the effect of this pill furnace with an ordinary low-grade pill first.

The Five Elements Fire was stronger than a single fire spiritual root in terms of purity and temperature. Coupled with the special effect of the cold iron pill furnace to keep the temperature constant, the spiritual herbs in the furnace melted quickly, and the medicinal juice was extracted to form a young pill.

However, the next step of warming up the young pill was a long tug-of-war. Even for low-grade pills, it took at least three to five days, or even ten days and a half months to warm up.

There were also experienced alchemists who refined high-grade pills, and it took several months, even half a year, or a year.

Fortunately, Ye Chunyang had also been practicing the art of fasting in recent days, and it would not be affected if he did not eat for several consecutive days, so he waited patiently.

And ten days passed in such a boring refining.

Ten days later, when the medicinal fragrance began to spread in the furnace, Ye Chunyang opened his eyes and saw a green pill slowly rotating. If he had not set up a forbidden method in the house before, the medicinal fragrance would have spread out by now.

"Is this the Qinggu Pill taken by the ancient immortal cultivators?"

In today's immortal cultivation world, "Qinggu Spiritual Liquid" is highly sought after by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and this Qinggu Pill is the complete version of Qinggu Spiritual Liquid, with more medicinal properties, but the pill formula has long been lost. If Ye Chunyang had not comprehended the ancient spiritual medicine map of the Holy Pattern Cauldron, this pill would have disappeared from the world.

After looking at the pill for a while, Ye Chunyang asked Ye Xiaobao to take it.

Although he was confident that the pill he refined would not go wrong, it was an ancient pill formula that had been lost for thousands of years. No one had refined it for thousands of years, and Ye Xiaobao was immune to any impact of the medicinal power, making him the best test subject.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Just after taking the pill, Ye Chunyang saw light patterns bursting out of Ye Xiaobao's body, and streams of pure spiritual energy emanated from his dantian. His body also grew a lot taller. In a blink of an eye, he turned from a little fat boy into a clear and slightly fat boy of about 17 or 18 years old.

"I didn't expect the ancient pill recipe to have such a miraculous effect. The medicinal power is not only ten times stronger than the Qinggu Lingye, but it can also change a person's physique and shape Ye Xiaobao so perfectly!" Ye Chunyang couldn't help but marveled when he detected Ye Xiaobao with his spiritual sense.

Before, Ye Xiaobao swallowed too many waste pills and then continuously advanced. While improving his cultivation, he also accumulated too many obscure impurities. Now that he took the "Qinggu Pill", all the impurities were removed.

Looking at it again at this moment, although Ye Xiaobao looked different from him, he exuded a sharp aura all over his body.

Ye Chunyang couldn't help but think that after refining the second level of the Origin Heavenly Sutra, he could appear in either body and surprise people in any occasion.

Although using the invisibility talisman can temporarily hide Ye Xiaobao, it is only the power of the talisman after all. Anyone with great magical powers can see through it at a glance. Therefore, before practicing the second level of the Origin Heavenly Scripture, Ye Chunyang did not dare to bring Ye Xiaobao with him rashly.

The successful completion of the Green Bone Pill made him more confident in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. He immediately lit the fire again and began the long refining process.

…

Since he was promoted to a senior handyman, Su Hu rarely came back to the outer gate. Every time he came back, he was so arrogant and powerful that the lower-level servants would clasp their fists in greeting.

But today he was uncharacteristically pacing back and forth outside a cabin, looking very anxious.

It has been a month since Ye Chunyang poisoned him, and today the poison has begun to take effect, making him suffer from the pain of being poisoned by thousands of poisons. He had no choice but to come here to seek an antidote.

He took out a communication talisman, forced himself to smile and said something to the talisman, and offered sacrifices to Ye Chunyang's wooden house.

At this time, Ye Chunyang was sitting in the courtyard, with his bloodshot eyes open, staring blankly at the extinguished Cold Iron Pill Furnace in front of him.

Around the alchemy furnace, there are more than a dozen blue elixirs floating, each emitting pure spiritual energy. If any immortal cultivator is present, these elixirs will be familiar to them. They are all in the Qi refining period. The foundation building pill that monks dream of.

It's just that it is extremely difficult for ordinary Qi Refining monks to obtain a Foundation Building Pill. Now it is placed like garbage in front of Ye Chunyang. If this scene were placed outside, I don't know how many people would go crazy.

Speaking of which, Ye Chunyang was also very puzzled. It was rumored that the Foundation Establishment Pill was extremely difficult to refine. Even if an alchemist had enough materials, it would take at least several months or even a year to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, in this month, he Thirteen pieces were refined out of it, which made him wonder whether he had made a mistake in any step?

More than once, he took out the Foundation Establishment Pill given by Su Xueyuan for comparison, and found that the thirteen pills he refined were far superior to the former in terms of quality and medicinal properties, which made him even more surprised!

"Although the quality of these foundation-building pills is far above ordinary, they are ancient prescriptions after all. I don't know if there will be some unpredictable side effects. I will have to find an opportunity to test them after I get out."

Ye Chunyang secretly thought that although Ye Xiaobao was immune to the impact of the pill, the Foundation Establishment Pill must be taken at the tenth level of Qi Refining to be effective. Although taking it in advance can increase spiritual power, the effect will be halved later, which is not worth the gain.

After thinking about the plan, he immediately put the pills into the Qiankun bag, including the one given by Su Xueyuan. Now he had fourteen foundation-building pills, and he was more confident about future foundation-building pills.

At this time, a talisman flew in.

Hearing Su Hu's bitter pleading, Ye Chunyang's expression did not change, he opened the door and walked out calmly.

"Ancestor! You figured it out!" Su Hu burst into tears when he saw Ye Chunyang coming out.

"Don't worry, I will remember it when the day comes to give you the antidote." Ye Chunyang glanced at Su Hu lightly and threw a bottle of antidote into his hand.

During this period of time, he has been feeding the poisonous insects with essence and blood, and his understanding of poisonous poisons has deepened a lot, and he can easily prepare the monthly antidote.

"How are you doing in the inner sect these days, Commander Su?" Seeing Su Hu eagerly take the antidote, Ye Chunyang smiled meaningfully.

Su Hu was stunned, not quite understanding what Ye Chunyang said, but he was suddenly shocked and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay! Very good! And I have entered the inner magic pavilion several times and changed from it. A lot of good things have come, and I came here to honor you, senior brother!"

"Oh? What good thing is it?"

Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows. Both the outer door and the inner door had independent spell pavilions, but the inner door obviously had a richer collection and could only be entered after reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Su Hu grinned, took out two scrolls from his arms, and presented them to Ye Chunyang respectfully.

As soon as his consciousness swept away, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but be surprised.

Among the two scrolls, there was an intermediate spell "Fire Light Slash", but what surprised him was that the other scroll was a method for refining talismans.

Ye Chunyang was deeply surprised. There were many alchemists and weapon refiners in the world, but very few of them were proficient in the art of making talismans, let alone those who could carve high-level talismans. Su Hu could actually acquire this method. It was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Now he is eager to improve his strength, not only refining elixirs, but also making talismans is the key. Su Hu presented this technique, which is exactly what he wants.

"They are two good techniques. I will borrow them for a few days, and I will return them to you when I finish practicing them." Ye Chunyang smiled brightly and put the scrolls in his bag without ceremony.

Su Hu showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He had just copied these two scrolls from the inner magic pavilion. Before he could practice them, the poisonous poison broke out. He had to come to Ye Chunyang for help. Now, The two scrolls also gave him an advantage. How could he spit out the food he had eaten?

Although he was secretly resentful in his heart, Su Hu could only shrug his head and leave. But then he heard Ye Chunyang's laughing voice, telling him to walk more to the inner magic pavilion in the future. Suddenly his eyes darkened and he almost wanted to Fell to the ground.

After Su Hu left, Ye Chunyang touched the two scrolls in his hand, felt slightly satisfied, and went into the house to practice.

But at this time, bursts of rapid bells suddenly sounded inside the mountain gate.

Ye Chunyang's mind condensed.

This bell sound is not common, but it is a signal for the sect to announce a big event and summon the disciples.
