After closing the door, Ji Yuan's mood immediately calmed down and returned to a calm state again.
This kind of state of mind is often the most desired for those who practice Taoism, and they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money and even a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures for it.
If there are monks who have reached the third level at least and see Ji Yuan's current state, they will definitely sigh, "He is born with Taoism."
He took a few steps to the corner of the room, called out the white jade flying sword in the Purple Mansion, took out a brass alchemy furnace, and placed it on a simple clay furnace.
This brass alchemy furnace is about the size of a watermelon. The body of the furnace is simple and plain, without any carving embellishments. The surface even looks a little dull, and even under the illumination of the fire, it does not reflect a trace of luster.
The alchemy stove, which looks so ordinary that almost no one will buy it even if it is thrown into the market, is actually one of the legacies left by the founder of Xuantian Temple. Ji Yuan picked it up from the clutter in the corner of the kitchen.
get.
At this time, he used the Qiankun technique in his sleeves to take out a six-sided iron plate from his sleeve robe and placed it on the clay furnace. Then he took out a spiritual stone that consumed less than half of his spiritual energy, and then placed it on the iron plate.
center of.
After finishing all this, Ji Yuan silently recited a mantra in his heart, guided it with a little bit of essence, and poured it into the iron plate at the bottom of the clay furnace.
In an instant, a crimson flame rose from the corner of the iron plate. Using the spiritual energy in the spirit stone as fuel, the palm-sized flame could release unusually high temperatures.
While waiting for the alchemy furnace to preheat, Ji Yuan slowly took out the medicinal materials needed for alchemy later from the two large bags purchased from Mingxinxuan, and placed them one by one in order.
On a low table next to the clay oven.
After a while, he slowly sat in front of the alchemy furnace, his eyes falling on the ball in his palm that contained abundant water essence at that moment.
This was supposed to be the object of enlightenment for the catfish spirit. It was somewhat similar to the demon elixir cultivated by the great demon. However, compared with the former, this round bead was made by condensing the power of incense and fire.
Originally, Ji Yuan thought that this was just a spiritual object. Only when he got it in his hands could he truly understand its mystery.
If the guess is correct, more than half of the power of incense and incense that the catfish spirit has received for hundreds of years was used to condense it into this ball, and the remaining half was used to shape the golden body.
In other words, the fragment of the golden body obtained by the chief catcher Liu Hongsheng after smashing the statue of the god was only a small part of the power of a hundred years of incense.
As for why the monster did this, Ji Yuan guessed that the other party wanted to use it to completely get rid of the manipulation of the person behind the scenes one day in the future.
It's a pity that in the end, in order to survive, the catfish essence had to abandon this bead, using most of the incense and wish power, and the thick water essence accumulated for hundreds of years.
But now, all this is naturally cheaper for Ji Yuan.
He put aside the beads that were condensed with the power of incense and aspiration and contained rich water essence, took out rare medicinal herbs, and gradually threw them into the brass alchemy furnace in front of him.
Under the high temperature in the furnace, these medicinal herbs often last only a few breaths before being burned into powder. Large areas of impurities turned into ashes and fell to the bottom of the alchemy furnace, leaving only the dust containing pure medicinal power.
These medicinal powders are suspended in the alchemy furnace, and after a long period of baking, they eventually turn into balls of paste.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan immediately formed a seal with his hands, and the essence in his body poured out and merged into the alchemy furnace in front of him, causing the medicinal paste in it to blend together in an orderly manner according to his thoughts.
This process lasted for half an hour. At the cost of exhausting all the energy in his body, he finally mixed all the medicinal materials into a paste in precise proportions, and then turned it into eight mud pills the size of fingernails.
.
At this time, the elixir has not yet been refined, it only has a rough shape, and the medicinal power inside has not yet been fully activated and integrated.
Under normal circumstances, Ji Yuan would have lowered the lid of the furnace, sealed the pill furnace completely, and used civil and military fire to continuously refine the medicinal power in the pills to truly take shape.
However, at this time, he picked up the ball on the side and threw it directly into the alchemy furnace. Then he put the lid on the furnace and added a few special spells to completely seal the alchemy furnace.
"I hope it will succeed..."
Ji Yuan muttered, feeling unsure about refining alchemy at this time.
Sighing, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, took a pill, and began to meditate to refine the power of the medicine and restore his exhausted energy.
He has done everything he can do, and all that is left is to carefully control the civil and military fire, and use the skill of water grinding to completely stimulate and fuse the medicinal power in the furnace.
However, this step does not require much effort. It is enough to ensure that there are people next to the alchemy furnace and to change the magic formula and firepower at the critical moment.
When Ji Yuan was refining the pill, Qianyu City was already full of wind and rain.
What happened last night spread among the people at an extraordinary speed, and even the content has completely changed.
Just like the heart-gouging demon, from the beginning only a dozen people were killed, to dozens or hundreds of people having their hearts and livers gouged out overnight, most of them even the elderly and children.
There are also demons who attack multiple gangs. They are also rumored to commit crimes in the streets and kill everyone they see. They look like demons.
In just one morning, people could be seen talking about this matter everywhere in the entire county. Many people described it matter-of-factly, as if they had witnessed the bloody and horrific scene on the spot last night.
A famous detective traveled through the county town, trying his best to search for any clues about what happened last night. Several police officers even visited the gang club that was attacked in person.
In the entire Qianyu City, except for the garrison guarding the four city gates, all officers and soldiers were mobilized and walked out of their military camps to guard key places in the city.
Near noon, Zhao Yuansong came to the Taoist temple with his junior brothers and sisters. This gentle and elegant disciple of the Jiuxuan Sect's outer sect had a sad look on his brows, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Although it was known that Ji Yuan was refining alchemy behind closed doors at this time and could not go out to meet with guests, he did not leave directly. Instead, he came to the main hall where the statues were enshrined and sat cross-legged on a table.
On the futon, he just closed his eyes and fell into concentration.
A few hours later, Ji Yuan stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him with a solemn expression. His hands quickly formed a series of seals, and the energy that had just been recovered was surging out like a stream.
At the end, he ended the action of burning incense with a complicated seal.
Taking a deep breath, the little Taoist flicked his finger, and the lid of the alchemy furnace immediately opened and then floated in the air.
In an instant, a fragrance filled the air, and the whole room was filled with this medicinal fragrance. Just one smell made him feel that all the fatigue in his body had receded, and his sleepy spirit became energetic.
Although he hadn't seen the scene in the alchemy furnace yet, Ji Yuan was already determined. He knew that the elixir in the furnace was finally finished.
He stretched out his hand, and the ball in the alchemy furnace flew to his palm. After several hours of refining, the incense and wish power on it, as well as the thick water essence inside, did not decrease much.
Ji Yuan nodded slightly, put the ball aside, and then began the scene in the alchemy furnace.
In the red-glow elixir furnace, eight round aqua-blue elixirs were slowly rotating in the air. While exuding a delicate fragrance, there was also a layer of brilliance flowing on the round surface.
After looking at it for a moment, Ji Yuan put the seven elixirs into the jade box, leaving one in the palm of his hand.
"Let me call you...Water God Pill."
He whispered to himself softly, with unconcealable joy in his eyes.
I haven't taken this elixir yet, but I can already feel the medicinal power contained in it, which is blended with part of the incense and aspiration power and the pure water essence.
Such a pill would be of extraordinary benefit to water monsters, spiritual beasts, and even water gods in the world, not to mention monks who were good at water magic.
Ji Yuan's physique happened to be born with the water attribute. Although he has not developed the magic power that contains the water attribute, if he takes this pill, he can still get unexpected benefits.
Even improving one's own cultivation is secondary. The most important thing is to be able to cultivate the body and make it closer to the water attribute, so that the subsequent cultivation will be smoother.
Without any hesitation, Ji Yuan immediately swallowed the Water God Pill in his hand, then immediately closed his eyes and picked up a magic formula in his hand.
As soon as the newly refined Water God Pill entered his stomach, it released an endless stream of extremely pure medicinal power, filling his limbs and bones.
A feeling of being enveloped by water flowed leisurely, not only in his body, but also in his soul.
Ji Yuan was almost about to sink, letting himself fall into this wonderful feeling. Fortunately, he still maintained a little clarity, and at this moment he started to activate the core mental method of Xuantian Dao Jing.
At this moment, the pure medicinal power thickened his essence, and the rich water essence blended into this body, making it closer to the water attribute. As for the incense and wish power, it turned into a warm current and poured into his soul.
.
Ji Yuan's soul is like a long-dried sand, hungry for the power of incense and wish, in order to strengthen his fundamental soul light.
His cultivation level came naturally, quietly rising to a small level, and in a very short period of time, his foundation was already several points more solid than that of a monk who had practiced for several years.
It is hard to imagine that the realm that originally required constant reading of Tao Zang in order to warm the soul and strengthen the soul light could be achieved with almost no side effects under the influence of a pill.
It wasn't until the bright moon was in the sky that Ji Yuan woke up from his cultivation state. Not only was he refreshed, but his own cultivation level had silently improved to a small level.
As for the pill that he swallowed, only half of it was refined by him at this moment, and most of it remained in his body, constantly releasing the pure power of the medicine, warming his body and soul bit by bit.
He estimated that it would take him a day or two to completely refine the elixir. The further you go, the purer the medicinal power contained in the ammunition will become, and the refining speed will become extremely slow.
.
However, even though he had expected it, after checking his current state, Ji Yuan still secretly sighed, not only sighing at the power of the water god pill, but also sighing at the effect of the incense, willpower and water essence contained in the round bead.
.
Half a moment later, Ji Yuan stood up with satisfaction. The flames under the alchemy furnace had been extinguished by him, but the remaining medicinal materials and the alchemy furnace were not confiscated in the white jade flying sword.
In the next few days, while refining the Water God Pill, he will try to refine a few more furnaces.
"It is indeed a good thing to improve your cultivation level, but you can't just expose it to outsiders like this."
Feeling the abundant energy in his body and his current state, Ji Yuan whispered to himself, and quickly formed complex seals with his hands.
When the last seal was pinched out, he was originally the aura of the late stage of enlightenment, but immediately fell down a small level, so that no matter how hard outsiders tried, they could only see that he only had the cultivation level of the middle stage of enlightenment.
This is a small blind trick included in the Xuantian Dao Jing, which can conceal one's true cultivation and create an illusion to outsiders.
But when facing monks who are one or two realms higher than himself, the effect of this blinding method is gone. However, after he develops his own magic power, he can make up for this shortcoming.
After a little tidying up, Ji Yuan planned to go out to find some food. However, as soon as he arrived in front of the door, he heard that many people had already gathered in the small courtyard outside.
Confused, he immediately opened the door in front of him, and immediately saw Xu Qiqi and Jiang He standing in the small courtyard confronting others, and those people were none other than his senior brothers. This chapter has been completed!
