There was a muffled sound, and the alchemy furnace shook, and then it calmed down. When the lid of the furnace was opened, nine full pills came into view.
A strong fragrance of red pepper rushed to his face, refreshing his heart and mind, and a proud smile appeared on Long Chen's face.
He reached out and took one of the elixirs in his hand. The elixir was round and had a faint luster, and there was a layer of faint lines on it.
"Although the elixir pattern is light and the color is not bright enough, the elixir has lost some spirituality, but it can barely be regarded as a middle-grade elixir."
This is the first middle-grade elixir refined by Long Chen. You must know that the improvement of the elixir involves many aspects such as the elixir furnace, elixir fire, and soul power. All of them are indispensable.
Now there is no problem with Long Chen's soul power, but the alchemy furnace is too poor, and the alchemy fire... not to mention.
Using an ordinary first-grade alchemy furnace and the most rubbish pill fire to extract a middle-grade elixir, looking at the entire alchemy world, I am afraid that only Long Chen, a monster who has merged with the soul of the Alchemy Emperor, can do it.
After refining more than twenty furnace pills in one breath, more than a hundred low-grade Fengfu pills were lying quietly in Long Chen's ring.
Long Chen secretly inquired about the situation in the outside world along the way. Li Hao was killed, so naturally Long Chen's head could not be found.
The imperial capital also posted a reward notice to catch the murderer of Li Hao, but the thunder was loud and the raindrops were small, and the sound soon disappeared.
Long Chen sneered in his heart, even if it's just a show, he should do it all. Do you think I'm a fool?
It's too blatant for a prince to be killed without any explanation, and then let it go unnoticed!
Although he understood in his heart, Long Chen did not dare to act rashly now. Before he had absolute strength, he must protect himself.
Now my father is guarding the wilderness and has no idea what is going on there. According to the Fengming Empire's practice, all generals and their families who are outside are not allowed to leave the imperial capital. To put it bluntly, it is to make them worry.
Long Chen knew nothing about his father's situation. He only knew that his father was no longer around since he became sensible.
As he grew up, the originally noisy Hou Mansion gradually became deserted, and fewer and fewer people came to visit during the holidays.
Since a few years ago, the Long family has been in decline, and its status in the imperial capital has been getting lower and lower. Long Chen has become the target of attack by the princes of the same age.
However, the Marquis of Zhenyuan still had no news about this. Long Chen couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied with his father, but he was severely scolded by his mother.
After waking up this time, Long Chen finally realized that something was wrong. He had thought too simply before.
My father must have had his own reasons for refusing to be summoned several times, and it was unlikely to be just because of the intense war effort among the barbarians.
It doesn't matter once or twice, but over the years, many princes in the imperial capital have become dissatisfied with Long Tianxiao after refusing to call him several times.
There were rumors secretly that Long Tianxiao wanted to rebel, but no matter how wildly these words spread, there was never any response from Long Tianxiao.
Until three years ago, the royal family never summoned Long Tianxiao, but the Long family's life became even worse.
First, the Long family's salary was deducted, and the Long family, which had no source of income, suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation, and then the princes provoked Long Chen in various ways.
Especially this time when Long Chen was injured and the old man defrauded the Long family of so much money, Long Chen finally became alert.
This was slowly forcing the mother and son into a desperate situation, with the purpose of making Long Tianxiao surrender, but Long Chen had no idea what the secret was.
But one thing is certain, there is a person behind this, who is wrestling with his father, and the other person is very strong.
"Ignore it for now, the hungry wolf will show its fangs sooner or later. What I need is to improve my strength."
Long Chen gave Bao'er a few words and then started to retreat. Now that the prototype of Fengfu Star has been condensed, it will be simple. He only needs to keep absorbing the power of the medicine.
Fengfu Star, under Long Chen's feet, began to grow rapidly and become larger as it continued to absorb the power of Fengfu Pill.
Seven days later, Long Chen frantically ate pills as if eating. The Fengfu Star under his feet, which was originally the size of a soybean, became the size of a longan, as if a brand new space had been opened up under Long Chen's feet.
After Fengfu Star became the size of a dragon's eye, its appearance never changed. As it continued to absorb the power of the medicine, countless tiny lines appeared on Fengfu Star, and it actually began to move slowly.
"boom"
There was an explosion, and after the last middle-grade Fengfu Pill was absorbed, the originally lifeless Fengfu Star at Long Chen's feet finally moved for a while, frantically absorbing the spiritual power from the outside world.
"Yeah, it finally worked."
Long Chen roared, feeling the movement of the Fengfu Star under his feet, and his whole body was filled with power.
"However, now it is just a successful condensation. According to the memory, each star of the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique must go through the nine transformations of the stars before it can be considered complete.
My Fengfu Star has just been condensed. According to the outside world, I don’t know if it counts as the first level of Qi Gathering.”
"Hoo ho ho"
He punched out three times in a row, the howling wind was deafening, and the wall was so violent that it almost collapsed.
Without using any spiritual energy, he had such power just by relying on the power of his physical body.
Long Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although it was a bit hard and the progress was a bit slow, the power of this Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique was really too powerful.
He is only one level above, but his strength now is much greater than that day when he punched a stone and crushed it.
"Hehe, if this continues, I will be able to find my future wife soon." Long Chen chuckled, thinking about Meng Qi's face, his heart was filled with passion.
But thinking of that shitty brother, Long Chen snorted in his heart. Next time I see you, if I don't beat the shit out of you, you won't know why the flowers are so red.
Suddenly Long Chen slapped his forehead and went to practice. Today was the day to go to Taixue Palace.
Seeing that the sky was just getting bright, he hurriedly put on a new set of clothes and went straight to the Taixue Palace. The look of ecstasy on Long Chen's face did not stop all the way.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that his Fengfu Star could store a very large amount of spiritual energy. In the future, when making elixirs, he no longer had to worry about insufficient spiritual energy and taking medicine constantly.
The last time he had a duel with Li Hao, Long Chen had activated his combat skill Yanniu Jin, which was so powerful that he could kill Li Hao with just one punch.
But that punch almost drained all his spiritual energy, and now he no longer has to worry about this problem.
After sensing the spiritual energy in Fengfu Star, I conservatively estimated that it would be enough for him to activate Yanniu Jin more than a dozen times. This is the gap between truly stepping into Fengfu Star.
The most important thing is that as his cultivation level increases, his physical strength also increases rapidly. Although he has not tested it, he knows that it must be terrifying.
While I was excited, the gate of Taixue Palace was already in front of my eyes. After entering the gate, I followed the old rules and went straight to the Literature Hall.
Just entering the Literature Hall, the originally noisy Literature Hall suddenly became quiet due to Long Chen's arrival.
Li Hao's death left many people still afraid to accept it. Basically all the princes were present at the battle that day and witnessed Long Chen's domineering punch. Those princes who had often ridiculed Long Chen couldn't help but feel in their hearts.
After a while I was afraid.
"Haha, Brother Long"
When Fatty Yu and others saw Long Chen's arrival, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly gathered around.
"Brother Long, you are getting more and more energetic."
"Brother Long, please sit down."
"Brother Long, you have tea."
"Brother Long, let me give you a slap on the back."
Long Chen laughed and scolded: "Don't do this useless thing, help me get something to eat, I haven't had breakfast yet."
Long Chen found a corner to sit down, and Fatty Yu had already brought all the snacks over. Everyone looked at Long Chen eagerly.
Long Chen was indeed hungry. He basically ate pills these past few days and was about to vomit. He grabbed some snacks and ate a big meal.
Just after eating for a while, Shi Feng arrived, and Long Chen waved to Shi Feng.
Shi Feng walked up to Long Chen, and Long Chen handed Shi Feng a jade bottle and said: "Take it, it won't take long, and you will become a new generation of strong people in the blood coagulation realm."
Long Chen's voice was not loud, but Fatty Yu and others heard it clearly, and they were all shocked and could not say a word.
Shi Feng was also shocked and hurriedly opened the jade bottle. A strong fragrance of elixir came to his nose, and there was a round elixir lying inside.
"What's this?"
Long Chen smiled slightly and said three words lightly: "Condensing Pill"
Others may not know what the Condensing Pill is, but Shi Feng, who is in the eighth level of Qi Gathering, knows that it is a coveted treasure for those who are strong in the ninth level of Qi Gathering.
The Condensation Pill is a pill aimed at the Qi Gathering Period and promoting the Blood Coagulation Realm. It contains a large amount of energy and can help people break through quickly.
The most important thing is that the Condensation Pill only targets Qi gathering and has no impact on future practice.
However, the Condensation Pill is very difficult to refine, and the failure rate is too high. Especially at the final moment when the pill is gathered, the failure rate is simply a nightmare for alchemists.
An ordinary condensed elixir costs more than one million gold coins, and it is still expensive but not marketable.
One million gold coins was simply out of reach for Shi Feng, who did not have much money on hand. He had never dared to think about it.
"Long Chen, this..."
"Whatever this or that, just take it if it's given to you. When I take your things, I never hesitate. Don't act like a woman." Long Chen interrupted with a wave of his hand.
Shi Feng nodded. Whatever he said at this time was all pretentious. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Okay, I will take it as soon as I advance to the ninth level of Qi Gathering."
"No, don't you see the lines on it? If you take it immediately after you go back, you will definitely be able to advance to the blood coagulation realm quickly," Long Chen said with a smile.
Only then did Shi Feng realize that there was a faint line on the elixir, and he almost screamed in fright. This was actually a middle-grade elixir, but the price was many times higher.
"Hurry up and put it away. It's useless among us brothers." Long Chen said.
Shi Feng's eyes turned red and he put the elixir close to his body. Compared to Long Chen's brotherhood, he was more moved than the elixir.
"Brother Long"
"Uncle Long"
"Grandpa Dragon"
"..."
Although Fatty Yu and the others didn't know what the Condensation Pill was, they knew about the pill. It was a treasure. For a moment, they stared at Long Chen like hungry wolves, and their eyes turned blue.
Long Chen got goosebumps from being yelled at by several people, and hurriedly told them to stop: "Don't worry, I told you that I will take care of you."
In fact, the reason why some of them cannot practice cultivation is because their spiritual roots are too poor to sense the true energy.
Others may not be able to do anything about it, but who is Long Chen? He has integrated the memories of a generation of Alchemy Emperors. If you can't even do this, how can you be called Alchemy Emperor.
"Hey, one bottle for each person, three drops a day, abstain from meat, alcohol, and sex. It will take effect in seven days. You can enter the Qi sense within half a month. As for how long it takes to enter the Qi gathering, it depends on the individual's efforts."
Long Chen threw a bottle to each of them, filled with a bottle of medicinal liquid, which was prepared by Long Chen himself.
The medicinal liquid is not precious. For those who have useless spiritual roots, they can barely improve their spiritual roots. However, Long Chen is not a god, and the degree of improvement is limited.
There is no problem in getting them to enter the Qi Gathering Realm. If they are lucky, they may be able to enter the Blood Coagulation Realm, but it is absolutely impossible to go above that.
However, for Fatty and others, it was already a treasure that they could not imagine. They looked at the bottle nervously, wishing they could drink a drop now.
"Brother Long, if we can practice cultivation, will it be detrimental to you?" Although Fatty Yu is fat and has a big head, his brain capacity is not small. He was the first to think of the problem.
If Long Chen really has a way to improve these waste materials, I am afraid it will have a negative impact on Long Chen, and it will be troublesome if he is targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
What Fatty Yu meant was whether he wanted to help Long Chen hide it, but Long Chen laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, these medicines are all made by Master Yunqi. Whoever wants them can just go and please Master Yunqi."
"Master Yunqi?"
Several people were shocked and were about to ask Long Chen if he was joking. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps. Looking back, several people looked panicked.
