In the early morning two days later, there were whining sounds in the Biling Cauldron, and the strong spiritual energy lifted the lid of the cauldron from time to time, releasing bursts of rich medicinal fragrance. In a corner of the stone room, Xiao Xin had already fallen asleep lying there.
Big bubbles appeared from time to time in the breath, and snoring could be heard.
Hanfeng stared at the blood-red eyes and carefully watched the changes in the alchemy furnace. At the same time, he scanned it several times with his spiritual consciousness, and finally nodded: "Tianjiu, the elixir shape has begun to condense. It seems to be much faster!"
"Really, it's all in the form of pills? Second Senior Brother, how much longer do we need?"
"It should be soon, about five or six hours. How is your Dantian? Can it still hold up?"
"No problem, five or six hours is enough!" Tianjiu was overjoyed.
He has been continuously outputting red fluid for more than two days, but it has only consumed less than one-third of the red fluid in the Dantian. Let alone three days, it will not dry up even if it takes nine days.
"Okay! It seems that your spiritual power and kindheartedness are extraordinary, and my senior brother is far behind you. Tianjiu, don't be distracted, and strictly follow the key points I told you."
The cold wind could not suppress the joy in my heart, and my voice was trembling, but my eyes were shining brightly.

In the transfer hall, Situ Hao sat dejectedly on top of the lecture hall. Under the stage, there were hundreds of people lying around, almost all of them were sleepy and exhausted.
"Gui Xiaoxiao, are you sure that guy is not in Tianxing Pavilion?" Situ Hao asked weakly.
"Yes, Master, I went back and checked inside and out, but I didn't see any sign of Brother Ten."
“Have you asked Xiaomi?”
"I asked, but I didn't see any. I'm also looking for millet all over the mountain."
"Where is Hanfeng Hall? Didn't he always go to Lao Er's place to make elixirs?"
"I've gone, but there's no one in Hanfeng Hall! I even asked the head master, but he didn't find it."
"Hey, where else have you not looked for?" Situ Hao asked with a sigh, glaring at the exhausted disciples in the hall.
"I've searched them all, Master!" Several disciples replied scatteredly.
In the corner, Lei Ming suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "Master, I think there are two places that I haven't asked, and they are most likely there!"
"Where? Tell me quickly!" Situ Hao's energy suddenly trembled.
"The Fifth Elder's Cave and the Guard's Ancestral Cave."
"Fifth Elder? Uncle Wei?" Situ Hao trembled all over.
Situ Hao has learned that the fifth elder Dong Hexiang has indeed been released from prison. If the fifth elder had captured him, it would be troublesome, and he might have been tortured to death long ago.
"Impossible!" Gui Xiaoxiao shook her head firmly.
Situ Hao was stunned and looked at Gui Xiaoxiao: "Are you so sure?"
"Yes, Master. He will not be captured by the Fifth Elder!"
"Hey~!" Situ Hao frowned, took a breath, and said to himself: "If that's the case, it's only Uncle Wei who didn't look for it."
"Weida Core!!" Everyone in the hall was trembling, and then they all lowered their heads.
"Who's going to go for a run?" Situ Hao asked through gritted teeth.
"..." No one said anything, and the Chuan Gong Hall was eerily quiet.
"Is the first core so scary?" After Situ Hao finished speaking, he looked at Lei Ming with a dark face.
Old Lei Ming's face turned black and he burst into tears: "Master, don't look at this disciple! It's all disciples who have such bad mouths and like to meddle in other people's business. That guy's life and death is beyond the control of a fool like me! He is the God of Plague.
!Woooo~~! Master Wei’s place is not scary, but very scary. I heard that eight out of ten people who entered his cave came out with missing arms and legs. It seems that everyone owes him a few thousand crystals.
It's like stone. Oh, it's too terrible! Master, please don't instruct me!"
"Huh! Stupid!" Situ Hao was filled with smoke and suddenly burst into laughter. He immediately called out: "Xin'er, go to Master Wei's place. You are still young. Master Wei will not make things difficult for you. Xiao Xin?"
He looked around and saw no sign of Xiao Xin at all.
"Where's Xiao Xin? Who saw him? It's against him, it's against him! It's all terrible!" Situ Hao became angry.
"Hey~! Master, Xin'er is here!" At this moment, a long call came, and Xiao Xin's figure flashed and ran into the transfer hall.
"Where did you die?" Situ Hao gritted his teeth.
"Hall Master Situ, you lost your nickname! No one owes you spar. Xiao Xin came to find me and Tianjiu. What, do you have any objections?" Following a sarcastic sound, the cold wind walked in,
Behind him, Tianjiu smiled obscenely and followed him in with his waist bent.
"Hanfeng? Tianjiu?! Aren't you not in Hanfeng Hall?" Situ Hao stood up in shock.
Then, everyone in the hall stood up and looked at the two people who walked in in surprise. Lei Ming was excited again, his whole body collapsed, and he fell to the ground.
"Who said we are no longer in Hanfeng Hall? Tianjiu has been learning alchemy in my Hanfeng Hall, but you didn't see it. Master, please forgive me! When Tianjiu came, I was so happy that I forgot to report to you.
, coupled with our inattention and lack of skills in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, it has resulted in today's situation, oops! Master, are you waiting in a hurry?" Han Feng said half-sarcastically and half-sarcastically.
"Hmph! Report? When did Hanfeng report to me? Ten years ago, you no longer had me as a master in your eyes!" Situ Hao pointed at Hanfeng's nose and shouted.
"Master is in my heart, not in my mouth. Whether I have a master in my heart depends on whether the master can enter my heart. Master, remember we agreed ten years ago that if my alchemy method turns into a foundation-building pill, you will abdicate.
Let Xian. How about it? Does it still count?"
"You made the Foundation Building Pill?!" Situ Hao said in surprise.
"Almost, to be precise, it was my method that made the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
"Bring it to me!!" Situ Hao stretched out his hand.
"Hmph! You won't shed tears until you see the coffin, let me show you!" Hanfeng snorted coldly, waved his hand, and shot a mixed white longan-sized pill in front of Situ Hao.
Situ Hao caught it, glanced at it, and became furious: "Hanfeng, you madman! You don't use a bottle to store such a precious pill as the Foundation Establishment Pill. Do you have any knowledge about alchemy?"
"
"Alas! That is to say, you regard it as a treasure. In the other four sects of Dongling, this Foundation Building Pill is almost sold everywhere. As long as people enter the ninth level of Qi Refining, they usually only need to win the top 100 sects.
, you can be rewarded with a Foundation Building Pill, but as for us, the second place doesn’t have one. Sad, sad! I don’t use the elixir bottle to place it, just to despise it from the bottom of my heart. As long as I become the leader of this hall, in the first year
I can refine five pills, ten pills in the second year, and after three years, I can refine twenty pills every year." Hanfeng said proudly.
"Hehe, twenty pills, I think you are not crazy, but crazy! What is your pill-forming rate?" Situ Hao shook his head and sneered. With a shake of his hand, the slightly warm Foundation Establishment Pill slipped in instantly.
into the sleeves.
"Not talented, 30%!"
"Thirty percent? So you still have two in your hand?"
"Yes, I knew you would take away my Foundation Establishment Pill. It doesn't matter. I still have two pills in my hand anyway. I will take them to the head master for inspection. You can't trouble me! Hehe!
!Old Shi, there will be more of us in the future, right?"
"Um... um... um!" Tianjiu spoke vaguely, trying to get away with it.
Situ Hao's face turned pale and his eyes narrowed into a thin line: "Even if you have a 30% chance of forming a pill every time, it will take you half a year to prepare a set of materials. Including refining, there are only six pills in a year.
Three years later, how will you refine twenty pills? Is it still up to you to steal them? To be honest, this foundation-building pill should have been mine. How much of your material came from Yan Feng’s medicine garden?"
"Oh, yes, I admit that I took most of Lao Wu's medicinal materials, but what does it matter? My elixir has been refined. After all, our bet only depends on the results, not the process. As for the subsequent supply of medicinal materials
The problem is easy to solve. We can outsource it. We don’t have to be self-sufficient. The cost of purchasing medicinal materials is much smaller. Putting together a set of medicinal materials is less than one percent of the cost of purchasing a Foundation Establishment Pill. It is also extremely difficult.
Low. Alas, having said that, your thinking is still too backward! Abdicate!!"
"You...?!" Situ Hao raised his finger and pointed at the cold wind. He was speechless for a long time. After a while, he finally asked: "Did you really refine this Foundation Building Pill?"
"No, it's Lao Shi!"
"Tianjiu?!" Situ Hao's mind went blank and his mouth opened wide.
In the Chuan Gong Hall, it was like a huge boulder falling into a lake, and it boiled instantly.
Suddenly, Lei Ming shouted: "Salute to the God of Plague~!! I, Old Man Lei, will regard you as my god from now on~!!!"
Tianjiu was stunned at first, and then twitched: "Old man Lei, what's the ghost name! When did I become a god?!"
"No, although you are not a god, you are the god in my heart, Lei! God, please give me a foundation-building pill?" After Lei Ming finished speaking, he lay on the ground and did not get up for a long time.
Tianjiu looked at Situ Hao, who had a frustrated face, and then at Hanfeng, who had a smirk on his face. Then he looked around, and the whole room chuckled. Tianjiu has a toothache!
"Old man Lei, get up! If you don't get up, I'll deal with you! Hong Miao is even scared of me, are you more powerful than Hong Miao?" Tianjiu gritted his teeth and said.
"No, God, if you don't agree, I won't be able to bow down until you agree!" Old Lei also lowered his head and sent the message.
"You're cruel! Old man Lei, go to my Tianxing Pavilion to get the elixir in two days!" Tianjiu said with a helpless expression.
After hearing this, Lei Ming bowed down again and stood up, with indescribable excitement on his face.
At this time, Situ Hao suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Hanfeng, Hanfeng! You are really racking your brains to pull me down, but it's a pity that you made a mistake. I, Situ Hao, am not a snob, and I have no regard for power.
I’m not keen. In fact, I’ve wanted to abdicate for a long time. I’m just sorry, it’s not to you, but to him!”
Situ Hao said, pointing to Tianjiu.
"Tianjiu?" Hanfeng smiled.
"It's Tianjiu, what's wrong? He also refined this Foundation Establishment Pill. Although it is your alchemy method, your alchemy method is not from my method. It comes from Hua Chen's alchemy method. You are just
It's just a little improvement. Now, Tianjiu has fully accepted it, so give up! I've been waiting for him here for three days, just waiting for him to take over my position as the hall leader. Listen carefully, I will follow Zhang
Go to the door."
After Situ Hao finished speaking, he was about to throw the flying crane.
"Wait a minute! Master, this disciple will not be the hall master!" Tian Jiu shouted with a split mouth.
"Huh? Why? The hall master's seat is too small? It doesn't matter. To put it bluntly, your second core is a vacant position. The hall master can serve as both. Don't you think Elder Sikong is still working as the deacon of Tiandu Peak?!"
"No, no, no! Master, my ambition is not in alchemy, nor in power. What I am pursuing is the way of heaven..."
When Tianjiu talked about the way of heaven, he felt weak in his heart. Go to the way of heaven! What I am pursuing is the way to return, the way to go home. This ghost cultivation world is so damn perverted that I can't even sleep on a rug. I just lie down.
He would also open half of his eyes from time to time, and he might be struck by a knife.
Situ Hao was suddenly stunned and stayed for a long time: "Heaven's way? Heaven's way!! Okay, okay! I finally have a disciple in the alchemy hall who aspires to the way of heaven! I won't force you to say this to you. Hanfeng, you are not
Do you want my position as the Hall Master? If you have the guts, follow me to see the head master. If he nods, I won’t say anything, and the position of the Hall Master will be yours!"
Hanfeng's face was ever-changing, and he finally gritted his teeth: "Just go, whoever is afraid of whom!!"
