One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 812 Qi Body Source Flow
In the Innate Demon Refining Tower, Nezha and his family were guests, so they naturally couldn't have the right to pass through the entire tower.

If Nezha wants to see Hu Xiuwu, he can only do so through Zi Zhu'er, as she has access to most areas of the tower and can directly report to Hu Xiuwu and contact him.

Hu Xiuwu had long anticipated that Nezha would come to see him soon.

Given Nezha's fiery temper, he would never be like the Four Dragon Kings, content to remain in a corner, ignoring the situation in Heaven, and drifting along like a clam in the water.

Nezha would only want to keep the initiative in his own hands, and he would never be willing to stay in Hu Xiuwu's Innate Demon Refining Tower with his mother and sister for long.

Inside the Innate Demon Refining Tower, the lives and safety of Nezha's family depended entirely on Hu Xiuwu's whims.

With a flick of her wrist, Zi Zhu'er cut a slit in mid-air.

Pull it to both sides again, and the gap becomes a round door.

The door hangs in mid-air, surrounded by azure blue, but the scenery inside is a paradise, with lush forests and playful spirits; beautiful mountains and babbling rivers.

Nezha was used to this scene; he used to be a frequent visitor to the Linglong Tower.

Nezha has extensive experience in suppressing such pagoda-like magical artifacts.

Zi Zhu'er led the way, and Nezha followed with his head held high.

The place they arrived at was not Hu Xiuwu's residence, Pushui Tu, but the Three-Layer Peach Blossom Paradise.

When Nezha and Zi Zhu'er arrived, Hu Xiuwu was squatting on a small stove about half a person's height, watching the fire under the three-legged stove.

That fire was no ordinary fire, but the true fire of Samadhi; that furnace was no ordinary furnace, but the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace of Laozi, a furnace made of the same purple gold material.

The elixirs in the furnace were, of course, extraordinary as well.

Although Nezha didn't have the same sensitive nose as the Celestial Hound, he could still faintly smell the lingering medicinal fragrance on the small wooden table next to the alchemy furnace.

Although he couldn't distinguish the types of medicinal herbs like the Celestial Hound, he could sense their extraordinary qualities.

Hu Xiuwu fanned himself with a small palm-leaf fan, staring intently at the fire in the alchemy furnace. His spiritual eyes shone brightly as he peered through the furnace, observing the changes in the Qi within it.

Completely absorbed in his work, Hu Xiuwu didn't even notice Nezha and Zi Zhu'er approaching.

Zi Zhu'er certainly wouldn't dare to disturb her master, and although Nezha was arrogant, he wasn't the kind of person who lacked tact.

It's clear that Hu Xiuwu is trying out a key aspect of the new technology, and of course, he's also patiently waiting on the sidelines.

A muffled sound came from the purple-gold furnace, the sound of a gold and iron pellet hitting the iron wall.

It was as if marbles were bouncing in the alchemy furnace with a clever trick. There seemed to be a kind of energy in the furnace, forcing the pills to bounce faster and faster.

Against the backdrop of the bouncing, irritating pills, the furnace walls groaned mournfully.

The intense vibrations caused the three-legged alchemy furnace to tremble, and its heavy legs sank deeper and deeper into the muddy ground.

But Hu Xiuwu remained unmoved, still slowly fanning himself to increase the firepower.

As Nezha watched, he suddenly realized that Hu Xiuwu's actions looked familiar, and he racked his brains for a long time.

He suddenly realized that Hu Xiuwu's method was very similar to the alchemy method of Laozi that he had seen in the Tushita Palace.

Nezha was given the title of Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, and also had the nickname of the Third Prince. He held a high position in the Heavenly Court and was therefore qualified to request elixirs from the Tushita Palace.

Laozi rarely avoids people when refining elixirs; he welcomes all who come. If you truly have a talent for alchemy, he is willing to teach you a thing or two.

However, very few people can master Laozi's unique skills.

When seeking the elixir, I only thought Laozi was amazing; it was only after learning alchemy that I realized...
Laozi's skills surpass even those of Heaven.

Only when you have cultivated a golden elixir can you comprehend it.
Lao Jun is Heaven, Lao Jun is the Dao of Alchemy.

If Laozi's methods contradict the Dao of Alchemy, then the Dao of Alchemy is wrong and must be changed!

Nezha was secretly alarmed. He had also learned about Hu Xiuwu's background: When did Hu Xiuwu meet Laozi? He had even learned Laozi's alchemy.

Boom!
The alchemy furnace exploded, shattering into pieces that scattered like fireworks.

Nezha and Zi Zhu'er were also affected.

When the fragments of the alchemy furnace flew to Nezha's front, a red shadow flashed before him, and the sound of a dragon's roar came. Then, it quickly turned red, softened from hard, and turned into a pool of molten copper, as if it had crashed into a wall.

It flowed slowly down from the invisible wall.

The molten copper splashed onto the ground, creating craters.

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover spontaneously protected its master, helping Nezha block all the fragments of the alchemy furnace without Nezha needing to activate it.

As for Zi Zhu'er, it was even simpler. Inside the Innate Demon Refining Tower, she was protected by the tower and was not harmed in any way.

The fragments of the Purple Gold Pill Furnace that were spraying towards the Purple Spider at high speed came to an abrupt stop a foot in front of her, as if they had been forcibly pulled from behind, losing speed and unwilling to fall.

At the center of the explosion in the alchemy furnace, Hu Xiuwu was, of course, completely unharmed.

He is both the master of the Innate Demon Refining Tower and an immortal at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

How could he possibly be accidentally injured by the alchemy furnace?

Surprisingly, the pills that Hu Xiuwu was refining in the alchemy furnace were also completely unharmed.

The round pills swayed and spun at the bottom of the furnace, eventually colliding with each other and coming to a stop.

The elixir had taken shape, smooth as a pearl, with a layer of shimmering light on its surface, making it as beautiful as a gemstone.

Although the furnace exploded, it seems that Hu Xiuwu has successfully refined the elixir?
Following the teachings she received in the Kunlun Mountains, Zi Zhu'er did not approach to disturb them, and waited for Hu Xiuwu's summons.

But Nezha didn't care about any of that. Curious, he stepped forward and carefully examined the seven pills. He was surprised to find that the other fragments of the purple-gold alchemy furnace embedded in the ground had deep scratches, like the marks left by a spear shaft that was an inch thick without a spearhead.

Nezha noticed that these pills could leave marks on the Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace, and said with amusement, "These pills are so hard, are you preparing them for Sun Wukong?"

Everyone knows that when Sun Wukong was under the Five Fingers Mountain, he could only eat iron pellets and drink molten copper.

Hu Xiuwu laughed and said, "Of course you can eat it, but you can also use it like this..."

He flicked his finger at the pill, and the pill flew away from the force.

It slid directly a thousand miles away, pierced through a two-meter-thick thousand-year-old iron tree, passed through bluestone, went deep into the mountain's belly, drew a delicate arc in the air, and returned to Hu Xiuwu's hand.

Nezha then discovered the truth: "Those aren't pills, they're sword pellets! You actually used a pill furnace to refine sword pellets?"

A sword is a sword, and elixir is elixir.

Swords are forged in a forge, and elixirs are refined in a cauldron.

Hu Xiuwu actually used the alchemy furnace to refine a sword pellet with unparalleled power.

Moreover, if Nezha's nose is not mistaken, these sword pellets were made from medicinal herbs.

Using thousand-year-old ginseng, lingzhi, and jujubes, one can refine a deadly and sharp diamond sword pellet.

Plants and trees were used to forge metal and gold artifacts.

Hu Xiuwu happily picked up the seven sword pellets and said to Nezha:

"This is the source and flow of Qi."

"Concentrate your vital energy to achieve gentleness; can you become like an infant?"
