Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Lu Yuan took the secret book and was determined to complete the challenge.

He felt that his alchemy skills were about to be elevated, and he was also full of anticipation for the bottle of red pill.

In the following days, Lu Yuan searched Yaoling City for materials needed to refine the Burning Spirit. Each material is an indispensable and important part of the alchemy process.

At the market, he met a man who was suspected to be a poison cultivator. The man was wearing a black robe, hiding in the crowd, and watching him all the time.

"Looks like he's here to cause trouble."

Lu Yuan was secretly alert in his heart. He didn't want to be disturbed at this critical moment.

The poison cultivator did not attack directly, but continued to keep his distance, trying to secretly follow Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuan was already alert. He used mental interference techniques to extend his consciousness and search for the trace of the poison cultivator among the crowd.

Finally, he found the location of the poison cultivator. At the entrance of an alley, the man was secretly observing him.

Lu Yuan walked towards that direction without hesitation. The poison cultivator sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape immediately.

However, Lu Yuan had anticipated his move. He quickly displayed his skills and a flash of golden light intercepted the poison cultivator on the spot.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Lu Yuan stared at the poison cultivator coldly, with a hint of warning in his voice.

The poison cultivator was overwhelmed by his aura and could only grit his teeth and whisper, "I am Hong Lietian from the Ghost Sect who sent me to monitor you. He knows that you are looking for a special elixir and want to get that method."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. He didn't want to get entangled with Hong Lietian. After all, the grudge between him and the Nether Soul Sect was long-standing.

He snorted coldly and used mental interference to erase all of the poison cultivator's memories, causing him to lose any knowledge of him.

"Tell Hong Lietian that I won't let him succeed."

Lu Yuan gave the order coldly, then turned and left the alley.

The poison cultivator stood there, looking blankly at the empty alley in front of him, completely unremembering why he was here.

He just felt a splitting headache, as if he had lost important memories.

The next morning, Lu Yuan arrived at the shop early and waited. He stood on the corner of the street, observing the monks coming in and out.

The sunlight shone on him, reflecting a calm look.

Soon, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage wearing a gray robe hurried into the shop. Lu Yuan quickly followed him and stepped into the quaint wooden door.

Seeing this, the clerk asked in horror: "Who are you?"

"This is private territory, no trespassing!"

Lu Yuan ignored the clerk's words and just glanced at him indifferently, with a cold look in his eyes.

He walked straight into the store, his steps steady, as if he was standing on solid ground, without any fear.

The cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage noticed that someone was following him, and immediately became alert, turning around and wanting to take action.

However, at this moment his spiritual power was attacked by some hidden poison and was quickly consumed, making it difficult for him to perform any moves.

Seeing this, the clerk turned pale, realizing that something unexpected had happened. He had no choice but to yield to Lu Yuan and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, please spare my life. I am willing to hand over the pills you need."

Lu Yuan smiled indifferently, took out the bottle of red pill, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew that this elixir would become the key to his journey to alchemy.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Yuan sat in the hotel room, holding the bottle of red pill in his hand, examining it carefully. His eyes revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation, because he knew that this kind of pill was of extraordinary significance to the path of alchemy.

"Is this the improved version of the Qi Tian Dan?"

Su Liyan came over curiously and asked softly.

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, although this kind of elixir can help cultivators in the Void Refining Stage to overcome tribulations, it will not greatly improve their strength."

Su Liyan frowned slightly and thought: "Then the usefulness of this kind of elixir is still quite limited."

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes: "Although the improvement in strength is limited, in some special circumstances, this kind of elixir is still very useful."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Lu Yuan walked to the door, opened it, and saw Zi Xier standing outside.

"How did you come?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and asked.

Zi Xier walked into the room with a smile on her face and tenderness in her eyes: "I heard that you got a bottle of important medicine today, so I came to see it specially."

Lu Yuan handed the pill in his hand to Zi Xier and said with a smile: "This bottle of pill is an improved version of the Qi Tian Pill. It is helpful for overcoming tribulations, but it is not the kind of pill we need most."

Zi Xier took the pill, examined it carefully, and frowned slightly: "Yes, although such a pill is good, it is not very helpful for our cultivation."

Seeing this, Su Liyan suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't we try to improve this elixir to make it more powerful and more beneficial to our cultivation."

Lu Yuan and Zi Xier were both stunned for a moment, and then a look of approval appeared in their eyes.

"That's a good idea!"

Lu Yuan smiled and patted Su Liyan's shoulder, "We can give it a try and see if we can improve the effect of this medicine."

The three of them hit it off and began researching the improved version of the Qi Tian Dan.

They racked their brains, kept experimenting, and constantly adjusted the formula, and gradually, a new elixir appeared before their eyes.

Lu Yuan decided to use these improved versions of the Qi Tian Pills to attract more attention.

He began to spread rumors about the medicine in Qiwu City to attract members from other sects to come and investigate.

He cleverly spread the rumor that this elixir could not only help overcome tribulations, but could also help break through bottlenecks and improve realms.

The rumor spread quickly in Qiwu City, attracting the interest and curiosity of other monks, and they all talked about it.

Some people doubted the authenticity of the rumor, but more people became very interested in the news and planned to go to Leihuo Dan Pavilion to find out.

Just when everything was bustling, Lu Yuan received a secret letter, which said that a familiar person was about to arrive in Qiwu City.

This news made Lu Yuan's heart move. He knew that this acquaintance must be related to his alchemy skills.

"It seems that this visitor is not simple."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, his expression becoming serious.

At this critical moment, he decided to keep the formula of the improved version of Qi Tian Dan secret for the time being, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious visitor to see what changes and challenges he would bring.

Just after meeting the middle-aged monk, Lu Yuan took them to a place called Lingshi Restaurant in Qiwu City.

This restaurant is located in a bustling area of ​​the city. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma, which makes you salivate.

In the private room of the restaurant, Lu Yuan and the middle-aged monk sat opposite each other and smiled at each other. This cooperation seemed to be a good start. (End of this chapter)
