No alchemist can guarantee that there will be no failure in his alchemy career.
In Luo Xiu's memory as a ninth-level emperor-level alchemy master, there are nearly tens of thousands of failed experiences. Especially when learning alchemy from the beginning, every success is actually a failure to accumulate experience and talent.
Obtained.
Although he failed once, Luo Xiu's expression did not change at all, and because he failed this time and figured out the reasons, he became much more proficient in refining alchemy for the second time.
First, he re-analyzed the combination of elixirs, and the steps of elixir refining began to proceed in an orderly manner, and everything became smoother than before.
The cyan cauldron was suspended and rotating in mid-air, and the reddish-brown void-devouring spiritual fire was rolling and condensing in the furnace. Under the burning of the spiritual fire, spatial fluctuations visible to the naked eye spread around the cauldron.
Luo Xiu's consciousness was closely focused on the situation in the cauldron. A green elixir had already taken shape. The elixir would be ready for use only after the medicinal power was completely solidified.
At the same time, the strong medicinal fragrance spread from the cauldron, which was a sign that the elixir was about to succeed.
Then, at the moment when the elixir was about to take shape, two cyan auras fell on the prototype of the elixir and turned into two dragon patterns, causing the elixir to take shape suddenly much faster.
"It's done!"
The moment the green elixir solidified, a vast energy wave spread from the cauldron, causing the fifth-level formations Luo Xiu had arranged around to tremble and sway.
This violent fluctuation lasted for a long time before gradually calming down, and Luo Xiu also took this opportunity to reach out and grab it, opened the lid, and pinched the green sixth-grade Xuanzhi Pill inside between his two fingers.
Looking at the Xuanzhi Pill in his hand, Luo Xiu finally showed a satisfied smile on his face. Since the Xuanzhi Pill can be refined, it means that he can also refine the Yin-Yang Soul Pill, which is also a sixth-grade pill.
Because the elixir is made across two levels, the quality of the elixir cannot be pure without impurities. Counting the 10% increase in the quality of the elixir by the Double Dragon Ascension Cauldron, this elixir is only an 80% elixir.
However, as far as Luo Xiu knew, there were not many people in the Tianwu Kingdom who could refine the 80% pill, and almost none who could refine the 90% pill. It was completely enough to use this Xuanzhi Pill for cross purposes.
Luo Xiu then took out a jade bottle, put the Xuanzhi Pill into it, and put it into the storage ring.
The Double Dragon Ascension Cauldron also rotated and became smaller under the control of Zhenyuan, directly submerged into the body, and suspended in the sea of Dantian Qi.
This cauldron was refined by forgers in ancient times. It is considered a high-grade magic weapon. It can be stored in the body for warmth and nourishment. In addition to its alchemy effect, it also has the ability to attack enemies.
Even in today's world, there are many alchemists who can control cauldrons to fight against enemies. Coupled with the alchemists' miraculous fire control techniques, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong among martial arts practitioners of the same level.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiu removed the formation and put away the Small Wanxiang Dharma Flag.
The Golden Fire Spirit Lion quickly ran over and knelt in front of him, wagging its tail in a flattering manner.
As for Long Ming, he still looked like a stinker and glared at the Golden Fire Spirit Lion with disdain. His figure slowly disappeared and merged with the nearby space, making him invisible.
Luo Xiu reached out and patted the Golden Fire Spirit Lion on the head, then jumped up and landed on his back.
Using his spiritual consciousness to guide him in the direction and letting the golden fire spirit lion carry him on his way, Luo Xiu took out the sound transmission box and sent a message to the ancestor of the Xu family.
Half a month later, Luo Xiu returned to Tianwu City from the northern wasteland.
Long Ming blended into the space and followed quietly as usual, while the golden fire spirit lion transformed into the size of a wolf dog and followed behind him.
Tamed monsters help martial cultivators fight or serve as mounts. This is a very common thing in the martial arts world.
At the Hunters Guild, the ancestors of the Xu family came in person to meet with Luo Xiu.
This was a quiet secret room. When Luo Xiu took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table, even though this ancestor of the Xu family had lived for hundreds of years, his body was slightly stiff and his eyes were solemn.
"Little friend, this is..." Xu Jingnian asked impatiently.
"The Xuanzhi Pill is exactly what senior needs." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "After Master refined it, I rushed over all the way and brought the elixir to you, senior."
Xu Jingnian grabbed the jade bottle, opened it carefully, and stared intently at the green pill quietly placed in the bottle, with ecstasy and excitement on his old face.
Entrusting the mysterious master behind Luo Xiu to make alchemy was a huge gamble. If he won the bet, he could restore his cultivation and save the Xu family. If he lost the bet, the entire Xu family would be destroyed by the Fan family royal family in less than ten years.
Eat away everything and be removed from the top ten aristocratic families.
Fortunately, he finally made the right bet and obtained the Xuanzhi Pill, which gave him great confidence in restoring his cultivation to the Martial Lord level.
Looking at the excited ancestor of the Xu family who was staring at the elixir in the bottle, Luo Xiu smiled softly and said: "The elixir has been given to senior, and the remaining half of the reward..."
In fact, Luo Xiu had also thought about whether the ancestor of the Xu family would turn against him after receiving the elixir. After all, even if it was the remaining half of the reward, each elixir was priceless, which was enough to make the Xu family
Injury to muscles and bones.
Xu Jingnian is a strong warrior at the level of a Martial Lord. Due to his damaged Dantian, his cultivation level has dropped. He will definitely be able to sweep away and crush most of the Martial Lords. If the other party really turns against him, Luo Xiu is really no match for him. He can at most be able to protect himself.
All pretty good.
Of course, Luo Xiu is not afraid that the other party will really fall out. The Xuanzhi Pill has his own imprint on it. With just a thought, the pill will instantly decompose and turn into powder and dregs.
If it weren't for his insufficient cultivation, Luo Xiu would even do some tricks in the elixir, but after all, his cultivation was too low. When he went all out to refine Xuan Zhi Dan across two levels, there was no way at all.
Time and chance leave their secret hand in the elixir.
The secret hand is almost an unwritten rule among alchemists, formation masters, and casters.
The main reason is to prevent the things you refine from falling into the hands of your enemies. There are even many master-level figures who enjoy cracking other people's secret tricks and are proud of them.
Xu Jingnian was able to create such a large martial arts family, and he was not a person who broke his promises. He had the vision and courage of a strong martial artist.
Without saying a word, he took out a storage ring and put it on the table, smiling: "Here is the remaining half of the reward."
"Senior, why don't you verify the authenticity of the elixir first?" Luo Xiu was a little surprised by the other party's generous gesture. It seemed that he was a little too careful?
In response to this, Xu Jingnian laughed and didn't take it seriously, and said: "If it were someone else, I would naturally be worried and suspicious, but to be able to teach such an outstanding genius like you, my age is not in vain. My intuition tells me.
, there is nothing wrong with this elixir."
While speaking, Xu Jingnian took out the Xuanzhi Pill and said, "Can I borrow this Hunter's Guild for healing?"
Luo Xiu was not surprised that Xu Jingnian chose to take elixirs here to heal his injuries, because the safest place in the world was the Hunters' Guild, even safer than his home in the Xu family's mansion.
"Senior, you can rest assured to heal your injuries here, no one will come to disturb you." Luo Xiu said with a smile.
Xu Jingnian did not stick to trivial matters, raised his hand and put the Xuanzhi Pill into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Please help me protect the law, little friend."
After the words fell, Xu Jingnian closed his eyes directly and began to enter a state of cultivation.
Who can be trusted and who can't be trusted when creating the inheritance of a martial arts family? For Xu Jingnian, who has lived for hundreds of years, he is naturally countless times more powerful than Luo Xiu.
This move of his has invisibly gained Luo Xiu's trust, because trust is mutual. Luo Xiu admires the other party for not shying away from healing his own wounds. His magnanimity and courage also make Luo Xiu admire him.
After all, the longer you live, the more cautious you become. There are not many people like Xu Jingnian.
A moment later, Xu Jingnian's body was covered with a layer of bright light. The healing process lasted for more than an hour, and a vast and unpredictable true energy fluctuation spread from Xu Jingnian's body.
In the past, most of his cultivation was used to suppress the Dantian's injuries, but as the Dantian's injuries recovered and healed, the majestic power dormant in his body burst out fiercely like a flood.
Ripples of energy shattered the tables and chairs in the room into powder, and this energy wave had a tendency to continue to spread. If it was not controlled, the room would be destroyed, causing a huge commotion.
Luo Xiu immediately took out the Small Vientiane Dharma Flag and arranged several defensive formations in the room to control the spread of energy ripples.
After a long time, Xu Jingnian's closed eyes slowly opened, and two rays of light that seemed to be substantial flew out, piercing the space with two dark traces.
This is the power of a strong warrior at the level of a Martial Lord. The energy emitted by his gaze can penetrate space!
Luo Xiu's current strength is comparable to that of an ordinary Martial King, and at most he can only distort space.
The difference may seem small, but in fact it is the difference between heaven and earth.
"Haha... I've finally recovered my cultivation!"
Xu Jingnian was full of majestic energy. He raised his head and laughed. His laughter shook the whole room violently, and the fifth-level defensive formation set up by Luo Xiu trembled endlessly, as if it was about to be shattered and annihilated.
This made Luo Xiu frown, and just as he was about to say something, Xu Jingnian had already restrained his aura, and his whole body was calm, like an ordinary old man without any martial arts aura.
"Haha, I'm sorry. It took a long time to recover from my injuries, so I couldn't help myself." Xu Jingnian said a little apologetically.
"Senior's feelings can be understood by this junior." Luo Xiu also responded with a smile, while waving his hand to put away the small Wanxiang Dharma flag.
This action of Luo Xiu made Xu Jingnian's eyelids twitch slightly, because he noticed that there was a fifth-level defensive formation here before. Obviously, this formation was arranged by Luo Xiu.
"He is not a fourth-level formation master, but a fifth-level formation master?" Xu Jingnian had to look at the black-robed young man in front of him again. The more he came into contact with him, the more mysterious he became.
Luo Xiu is already so mysterious, so the master behind him will probably be even more unfathomable.
"My little friend is not only the strongest in cultivation among his contemporaries, but he is also proficient in alchemy and formations. To be able to teach a disciple like you, I really can't imagine what kind of state my respected master has reached." Xu Jingnian inquired without leaving any trace.
"Senior, you are so complimentary. Master, he has a lofty realm. I, the junior, have only learned a little bit over the years." Luo Xiu said with a smile.
The corner of Xu Jingnian's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice. He had only learned a little bit and was already a fourth-level alchemist and a fifth-level formation mage. He had reached the eighth level of god refining at the age of only seventeen?
This allowed Xu Jingnian to almost conclude that the mysterious master behind Luo Xiu must have surpassed the level of Martial Lord. Perhaps he was a powerful hidden Martial Saint, Martial Lord, or even the legendary... Martial Emperor?
Thinking of this, Xu Jingnian did not continue to inquire about the master behind Luo Xiu, because many hidden powerhouses have weird tempers. If they violate some taboos, they will only get into trouble for themselves out of curiosity.
"In addition to the reward of the elixir, I also promised that after I recover from my injury, I will owe you a favor. As long as it is something within my ability, I will definitely not refuse if you just say a word." Xu Jingnian said politely.
