Best Ascension

Chapter 205
Five days later,
boom!
Suddenly there was a muffled sound in the alchemy room, and then the spiritual flame under the Nine Dragon Cauldron quickly subsided, turning into a bright yellow fire dragon and swimming back inside the alchemy cauldron.

When the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, a burnt smell came out from inside. The first alchemy failed, and the failure was in the essence resonance of the penultimate step.

With a wave of Zhao Sheng's hand, a transparent water dragon with thick arms emerged out of thin air. With a swing of the dragon's body, it nimbly got into the cauldron furnace, and slowly washed the inside of the Nine Dragon Cauldron under the control of spiritual consciousness.

Hiss!

A large amount of white steam kept coming out of the alchemy furnace, filling the entire alchemy room in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Sheng was not in a hurry to start refining the second furnace.

He closed his eyes and meditated, while practicing exercises to recover his spiritual power and mental power, he repeatedly recalled the situation of the last alchemy, and secretly summed up his experience in alchemy.

Two days later, Zhao Sheng returned to his peak condition.

Start a fire, warm the furnace, and throw in the thousand grain star algae fruit...

Although it was only the second time to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, his series of movements seemed to be done countless times, extremely proficient.

As time passed, the elixir in front of him gradually decreased, and he also emptied several bottles of spirit pills such as Sui Ling Dan.

Seven days later in a blink of an eye.

The alchemy room was hazy with clouds and smoke, and a faint apple-like aroma wafted in the air.

Zhao Sheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was very excited.The movements of the hands are extremely steady, and the Dan Jue is not chaotic at all.

As streaks of white light sank into the cauldron, the burning golden flame slowly retracted into the cauldron, turning into a fire dragon about a foot long, surrounding a small ball of orange-red elixir that was only the size of a grape in the center of the cauldron, carefully swimming up and down Move it, so as to remove the last bit of "disharmonious" medicinal essence.

Seeing that the foundation building pill had reached the most critical stage of congealing the pill, Zhao Sheng mustered up his remaining mental power, and activated his bullet time talent and absolute rationality for the last time.

"Ning Dan."

Time is suddenly stretched countless times,
At the same time, Zhao Sheng's expression instantly became extremely calm, and his eyes were full of extreme indifference, as if he had lost all human emotions and desires such as tension, fatigue, excitement, etc., like a perfect humanoid machine.

In an instant, his thoughts were like electricity, his mind was unified, and his consciousness climbed to an unprecedented extreme.

"Ningdan, come out!"

Snapped!
The furnace cover of the Nine Dragon Cauldron was blown out suddenly, and a red light burst out from the furnace, drew a curved arc, and fell into Zhao Sheng's hand like lightning.

"It's done?!"

Looking at the wine-red "shrunk" Foundation Establishment Pill lying in the palm of his hand, which was only the size of soybeans, a thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Sheng's mind.

Time then returned to normal!

"Hehe, it's really done."

His eyes slowly recovered, and a bright and warm smile appeared on his face.

boom!
At this time, his eyes went dark, and a sharp pain suddenly hit his mind like a storm.

In an instant, Zhao Sheng had a severe headache, and the veins on his face popped up.

Seven days and seven nights of alchemy, using the two talents alternately for many times, has already excessively consumed his mental power.

At this time, the Foundation Establishment Pill was released, and as soon as he relaxed, the sequelae broke out.

He only had time to swallow a bottle of God Returning Pill before he suddenly passed out.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Sheng slowly regained consciousness.

He covered his head and sat up from the ground. Although his head was still humming and hurting, it was much better than before.

At this time, Zhao Shenghou was terrified.

When I was concentrating on alchemy before, I didn't feel it because I was concentrating on alchemy, but afterwards I didn't expect that the sequelae would be so severe.

This time he almost caused irreparable damage to his soul.

"We can't work so hard in the future!"

While admonishing himself secretly, Zhao Sheng took out a bottle of Yangshen Pill, and went in without even counting the whole bottle.

Closing his eyes and concentrating on it, he exercised his energy and adjusted his energy to regulate his mind. After three days of rest and recuperation, Zhao Sheng fully recovered.

Two days later, Zhao Sheng went through the previous two alchemy processes several times, found out the mistakes, summed up the previous experience and lessons, and fine-tuned the weight of some elixir, and then began to build alchemy. Kidan's third refinement.

In fact, the second alchemy was not a success in the strict sense.The quality of that soybean-sized Foundation Establishment Pill is not even considered low-grade, it can barely be regarded as the embryonic form of Foundation Establishment Pill.

A normal Zhuji Dan is as big as a grape, the lower grade is pure red, the better the quality, the lighter the color.

The color of the top-grade Qianwen Zhuji Pill is light pink, and the fragrance and potency of the pill are completely restrained.

Fortunately, this time, Zhao Sheng has already touched the threshold of success, he almost made the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he is determined to win the third furnace.

Start the fire and heat the stove, add the thousand-grain star algae...

This is exactly the same as last time, the only difference is that his technique seems to be getting more and more proficient, and his movements are more precise and stable than last time.

Generally speaking, the achievement of an alchemist is directly proportional to the level of his cultivation.

It is difficult for alchemists in the Qi-refining realm to be promoted to Tier-[-] alchemists. This is not only because their cultivation and energy are not up to the standard for refining Tier-[-] spirit pills, but more importantly, immortal cultivators in the Qi-refining realm have not developed divine consciousness and cannot Seeing all kinds of alchemy reactions in the alchemy furnace intuitively, of course, you can't react in time.

Of course, Zhao Sheng is already at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

After taking Qionglingyuye, his mental power is much stronger than that of monks of the same rank.Not to mention the scope, strength and control precision of the spiritual consciousness, it is not much worse than the later stage of foundation establishment.

With the experience accumulated in the previous two times, Zhao Sheng's refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill was smoother than the previous one, and the risk of loss of control and barriers during the alchemy period were also less.

Another seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and the alchemy room was filled with alchemy again.

Seeing the last moment, Zhao Sheng couldn't help becoming nervous, so that he activated the two major talents twice in a row.

With the blessing of talent, the final link of congealing the pill was extremely smooth.

boom!
Finally, the Nine Dragon Cauldron made a buzzing sound, and the burning golden flame retracted into the fire hole on the wall of the cauldron.

Then the furnace cover flew up, and a stream of refreshing apple-flavored danxiang could not stop emanating from the furnace.

"It's done, this time it's really done!"

Zhao Sheng couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and stretched out his hand to make a move. Two grape-sized wine-red panacea suddenly jumped out of the pill furnace, and flew into his palm at a very fast speed.

Although these two panaceas are only the lowest grade foundation building pills, they are of great significance.It represents that Zhao Sheng has become a very rare true second-order foundation-building alchemist.

From this day on, his status in the Spring and Autumn League will inevitably rise in a straight line, and he will definitely become the most sought after alchemy "quasi-master" on Jiuzhen Island.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Sheng's mood completely recovered.

When he put away the elixir, he was exhausted all over his body.

After nearly 20 days of hard alchemy, Zhao Sheng was so mentally exhausted that he simply fell asleep in the alchemy room.

This sleep lasted for two full days and one night.

After waking up again, his spirit had already recovered to a point where Zhao Sheng counted the time, and it was just one day away, and it was a month.

Now that the Foundation Establishment Pill has been refined, he doesn't waste his time here.

Zhao Sheng got up and left the alchemy room, and then went to the Lingtian to release a few spiritual rain techniques. Seeing that the elixir in the ground was growing vigorously and in good condition, he tidied up his appearance, changed into a brand new robe, and left Beifu. Dongtian left.

……

Two days later, Zhao Sheng returned to the Precious Medicine Pavilion and had a secret talk with Jin Dancheng for half an hour.

After he left, Jin Dancheng smiled happily, but he completely lost the sadness that the store was about to close down.

Seeing this situation, his subordinates asked him what made him so happy, Jin Dancheng just smiled mysteriously, but didn't say a word.

On the other side, the Hongguang Building on Bairi Island also welcomed a certain mysterious guest again.

In the private room where we met last time, Hong Yuanliang, the shopkeeper of Hongguanglou, saw Zhao Sheng's "unhappy" expression, and subconsciously concluded that his alchemy must have failed this time.

Judge according to the thinking of normal people.If an alchemist wants to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, if he does not fail ten or eight times, then it is not a failure.

Is there any true Foundation Establishment Alchemist who was not piled up from Lingshi Mountain.

However, Hong Yuanliang never thought that the person in front of him was a "chosen man".People just lied to him.

"Fellow Daoist Longli, don't be discouraged. It's not so easy to refine the foundation building pill." After Hong Yuanliang dryly comforted Zhao Sheng, he suddenly changed the topic,

"By the way, I don't know why you came to me today?"

Zhao Sheng restrained his "frustrated" expression, and said in a firm tone: "I want to try a few more times. I don't know if what Hong Daoyou said last time is true."

Hong Yuanliang said confidently: "Seriously, Hong never lies. Not only do I have Qianwen Xingzao fruit here, but I also have all other auxiliary medicines. How many copies do you want? Are they prepared or raw? "

"Three thousand-grain star algae fruits, and three other elixir. I can't believe other people's concocted ones, as long as they are original. How many spirit stones are there?" Zhao Sheng said immediately.

"A total of [-] spirit stones! You can give [-] spirit stones, and you don't need a fraction." Hong Yuanliang said without hesitation.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Hong has made a note of this situation. Allow me to report it later."

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng took out a small pile of spirit stones from the storage bag and poured them on the table.

Sensing the pure yin aura emanating from the spirit stone, Hong Yuanliang's eyes widened sharply, and he said in surprise, "Pure yin spirit stone? Good stuff! Would you like it, fellow daoist?"

"After all, it's just a spirit stone. There's no reason to be reluctant." Zhao Sheng said lightly.

Spiritual stones have attributes, which are divided into five elements of yin and yang, especially the yin and yang attribute of spiritual stones are the most rare, and the price of the same level is generally three to eight times higher than that of ordinary five-element spiritual stones.

The high price is second, the key is that there is no market for the price.

Zhao Sheng paid the bill with pure yin stones, not only to show financial strength, but also to repay favors.

With this hand alone, Hong Yuanliang couldn't help but look at him with admiration, raised his evaluation again, and truly included him in the list of key customers.

After Hong Yuanliang put away the spirit stone, he suddenly slapped his forehead, and suddenly said: "I almost forgot. Fellow Daoist, don't you want to buy heavy water for one yuan. This building just brought some from the mountain gate. I don't know how many drops you want?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately responded, "The more the better!"

"One yuan of heavy water is very precious. A drop of spiritual water with a weight of [-].

Hong Yuanliang spoke very seriously, but after Zhao Sheng took out a stack of second-order hemolytic talismans from the storage bag, his expression was immediately moved and he was unbearably excited.

"Fellow Daoist Longli, you said you have this thing. I might be able to get more one-yuan heavy water."

In the Blood Demon Sect, the second-order hemolysis talisman is hard currency.

Because there are too many immortal cultivators who have practiced the "Blood Soul Sutra", the supply of hemolysis talismans that can speed up the melting of blood essence is always in short supply, and there are even fewer second-order hemolysis talismans.

Despite his previous life experience, Zhao Sheng still felt a little surprised when he saw Hong Yuanliang was so excited.

Seeing this situation, he felt relieved, and said proudly: "First, five drops of spiritual water. The latter are exchanged with blood-dissolving talismans, how many drops are exchanged for one drop?
Hong Yuanliang asked cleverly: "I have eighteen drops of one-yuan heavy water in total. At least [-] drops are exchanged for one drop. How many blood-lysis talismans do you have in your hands?"

"One drop for fifteen cards, three drops for three. If the transaction is made, there will be more in the future."

"make a deal!"

"..."

After two cups of tea, the red-faced Hong Yuanliang graciously sent Zhao Sheng to the door, and after watching him leave, he returned to Hongguang Tower with a happy face.

Two days later, a news suddenly spread throughout Danhuofang that the Precious Medicine Pavilion will be temporarily closed for a period of time. As for when it will open, the time is uncertain.

Hearing this news, the thoughtful and quick-witted people immediately ran to Ge Chen to "report the good news".

After learning that Zhenyao Pavilion was closed, Ge Chen was not only unhappy, but frowned even tighter.

At this time, he seemed to have a sense of emptiness as if he had punched nothing, and felt that his opponent had fallen down before he had exerted any force, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

Not reconciled, Ge Chen immediately ordered his left and right, "Go find out what that Zhao is doing in the past few days. Be sure to find out."

The subordinates led away, and Ge Chen showed jealousy.

However, a month passed, and Zhao Sheng's cave was tightly closed and never opened.

He may be in retreat and penance, or he may be traveling, or he may deliberately disguise himself to avoid Ge Chen's sight.

But not daring to be any possibility, they all expressed the same meaning, Zhao Sheng temporarily "disappeared" from everyone's sight. .

……

Half a year later, the Spring and Autumn Alliance Merit Hall.

"This spiritual island is Fengwei Island. The island is only sixty to seventy miles in size, and the population on the island is no more than ten thousand, all of whom are miners and their families. There is a phoenix blood stone mine near Fengyou Island, so we sent ten A qi refiner is in charge, and there must be a foundation cultivator guarding it. Zhao Keqing, what do you think of this place?"

On the second floor of the Merit Hall, a middle-aged elder who established the foundation said in a gentle tone.

Zhao Sheng didn't say a word, he knew that since the other party dared to introduce this place to him, it must have been carefully considered.

He is very familiar with spiritual materials like Phoenix Blood Stone.The phoenix blood stone is of a very high grade, and its output in the Broken Star Sea is very low. It is usually used to make high-level spirit ink.

Zhao Sheng is very satisfied with this task.

Being a guest minister in the Spring and Autumn League is not only about taking the spiritual salary and not doing anything, but also having to do a guest minister mission for the league every year.

You can choose the type and difficulty of the task, but most of the rewards are generous.

Due to Zhao Sheng's request, the middle-aged Foundation Establishment deliberately selected such a "leisure" task.

It's okay to guard the Phoenix Blood Mine, he "smiled" a few Phoenix Blood Stones by the way.Anyway, as long as you don't do it too much.Mengli usually turns a blind eye.
