Chapter 957: Alchemy to Become a Spirit
"Oh? Five Elements Guiyuan Pill?"

The voice coming from inside suddenly became interesting, and soon a figure floated out from inside. This person was standing on a broken medicine cauldron with his feet, his hair tied to his waist, and he was a handsome young man.

Li Qing was slightly stunned to find out that the chief imperial alchemist in the palace looked so young. But he was an alchemist after all, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to refine some anti-aging pills.

Ye Qingchen jumped down from the suspended broken medicine cauldron with an interested look on his face.

"I wonder what kind of five-element main medicines you have in your hand, why don't you tell me about them?"

Li Qing answered truthfully: "Five yuan of dates!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qingchen's eyes showed even more interest. He crossed his hands and looked thoughtful.

"I originally envisioned the best main ingredient for refining the Five Elements Guiyuan Pill, and the Five Element Dates were one of the top ones."

"It's a pity that this spiritual date is extremely hard to find. Looking at the entire Yujing City, it has only appeared a few times, and they are only scattered here and there."

"Since you have five kinds of five-element dates, it doesn't mean you can't use them once."

As he spoke, Ye Qingchen revealed an extremely satisfied look, and then pointed to another alchemy cauldron that looked very similar to the Chaos Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron.

"Go in and lie down. Although the five-yuan date is worth a lot, you still have to draw your life span. A full thousand years, not a year less!"

Li Qing frowned at this. Before coming here, he really didn't know that asking the great alchemist Ye to make the elixir would actually cost him a thousand years of his life.

Although he had an extremely long life, he did not dare to rashly enter this medicine cauldron which looked very much like the Chaos Cauldron of Ten Thousand Beasts. God knew what would happen afterwards.

After all, according to the legend, the Chaos Treasure ranked sixteenth is an extremely terrifying cauldron that is passed down from mouth to mouth. Once someone is trapped in it, it will be a situation of death. The person will be refined alive by the true form of all beasts until not even ashes are left.

Even though the cauldron in front of him couldn't possibly be the legendary Chaos Treasure, Li Qing was not willing to rashly go in and be refined by it.

As if he could see Li Qing's worry, Ye Qingchen yawned and said, "Make a decision quickly. It's rare that I'm willing to take action. Don't disturb my interest."

"Why didn't you ask me about the rules here before you came? Didn't the emperor change the palace and explain these rules to you?"

"For a cultivator like you who is in the Void Refining Stage, a mere 1,000 years of lifespan shouldn't mean anything, right?"

In the end, Li Qing decided to go out and find out whether there was such a rule.

Not long after, Li Qing returned to the Yudan Pavilion again. He had confirmed that Master Ye would indeed take away a thousand years of his life to make the elixir.

It is said that it has a certain connection with the laws that this person has practiced and comprehended, but so far no one knows what laws this Master Ye Dan has comprehended.

Some people speculate that it is related to longevity, some people speculate that it may be the law of life-devouring, which specifically devours the lifespan of others.

Various speculations emerged one after another, but Ye Qingchen was still the chief alchemist in the Dayu Palace. Countless people wanted to ask him to help them refine an elixir, even if it would cost them a thousand years of their lifespan.

Just like that, Li Qing sat into the cauldron which was somewhat similar to the Chaos Cauldron of Ten Thousand Beasts.

boom!
Ye Qingchen outside snapped his fingers, and rays of spiritual light were sent into the medicine cauldron.

The next moment, the animal-shaped patterns carved on the surface began to glow with colorful light, as if they had come alive.

Li Qing, who was in the medicine cauldron, was even more frightened. At this moment, phantom beast spirits rushed out of the cauldron and ran around him.

"It is indeed a replica. The beast pattern on this tripod was imprinted with demon spirits, while the beast pattern on the surface of the Chaos Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod was formed naturally when it was first created."

As an equipment refiner, Li Qing saw the mystery of the cauldron at a glance, but what surprised him was that he could not tell the grade of the cauldron.

It is far from being as powerful as a heavenly spiritual treasure, but it contains mysteries.

"Good eyesight." Ye Qingchen outside praised generously, and then his hands moved more quickly.

Li Qing didn't have time to think, as the illusory spirits of the monsters had already begun to tear at his body. Although he didn't feel the pain, Li Qing could see with his own eyes that his life was rapidly passing away.

After a long time, after losing a full thousand years of their lifespan, these monsters finally satisfied their appetite and stopped biting.

Not more, not less, just one thousand years!
Li Qing narrowed his eyes, shocked by the other party's precise control of lifespan. He concluded that the law practiced by this person was definitely related to lifespan. Otherwise, even if it was a cultivator who practiced those magic techniques that would shorten lifespan, it would be impossible to control the extracted lifespan so precisely.

"Okay, you can come out now." Ye Qingchen chuckled outside the cauldron.

After coming out, Li Qing found that the medicine cauldron seemed to have become more condensed, but he didn't know if it was his illusion.

"I wonder when Master Ye plans to start refining the elixir?"

"Now!"

"You can take out the pills now!"

As he spoke, Ye Qingchen walked towards the depths of the Yudan Pavilion, where he made elixirs.

There was a dark purple medicine cauldron that looked like a small hill standing in front of him. The ancient and dull cauldron faintly exuded the fragrance of elixir. Just smelling it made Li Qing feel much more relaxed.

Li Qing took out five five-yuan dates of different colors, each of them was plump and round. When they were put together, they seemed to form a five-element cycle, very much like the five-element spirit beads in the underworld.

After seeing this scene, Ye Qingchen hurriedly took the five-yuan dates in his hand and squinted his eyes to look at them carefully.

"Yes, it really is the legendary five-yuan date. You actually have it."

“Although the biggest function of this jujube is to improve the cultivation of the Void Refining Stage, its rarity is no less than that of a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Treasure.”

"What a pity. If I had been able to obtain this date when I was advancing to the Void Refining Stage, my foundation would have been a little more solid."

After Ye Qingchen sighed, he grabbed the five-yuan dates in his hand.

boom!
As a top-level alchemist, how could he not know the method of refining Wuyuan Dates? He simply used the method of the five elements' mutual restraint to let the five Wuyuan Dates dissolve on their own.

Li Qing couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when watching this scene. The other party's bold refining method simply didn't treat the hard-earned five-yuan dates as precious elixirs.

But there is absolutely no problem in refining it in this way, or it should be the most suitable one.

If there is only one Five Yuan Date, it may have to be broken by the opposing spiritual power, but if there are five, there will be no problem in refining the Five Yuan Dates.

The Five Yuan Jujube medicinal liquid, which had already turned into a circle of five-colored halo, was directly thrown into the giant purple cauldron in front. Ye Qingchen's expression became much more serious, and he snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped!
A circle of dark green flames suddenly burned beneath the giant purple cauldron.

From the moment the flame appeared, a vigorous vitality seemed to be injected into the medicine cauldron, and the color of the five-yuan dates that were mixed together became deeper and deeper.

Li Qing on the side couldn't help but exclaimed: "Senluo Spirit Fire?!" Yes, that's right, this is the Senluo Spirit Fire!

This is the precious spiritual fire of heaven and earth that Li Qing had been searching for in the lower world for many years but could not find. This is definitely the spiritual fire of heaven and earth that all alchemists dream of!

This fire has average killing power and is only suitable for fighting.

But it can be used to catalyze the growth of spiritual medicines. The Senluo Spiritual Fire can endow the earth with rich vitality, which can save the growth of spiritual medicines by up to half the time.

Moreover, if this fire is used as the source for refining medicine, it can give the refined medicine a hint of vitality, increasing the probability of the medicine becoming a high-quality product.

For a moment, he couldn't help but have some evil thoughts in his heart, but he quickly suppressed them.

Not to mention the consequences of attacking a chief imperial alchemist in the palace, the man in front of him was at the initial stage of fusion, and was probably already on the path of comprehending the laws. Even if Li Qing used all his means, he might not be his opponent.

Ye Qingchen memorized the recipe of the Five Elements Guiyuan Pill. He only took the main ingredients from Li Qing, and he had his own auxiliary ingredients.

As medicinal herbs were thrown into the giant purple cauldron one by one, the fragrance of the elixir that was originally smelt gradually dissipated.

This is a complete fusion of the cauldrons, locking up all the medicinal power. Even the medicinal fragrance will not be wasted and will all be refined into the pill.

boom!
The momentum of the Senluo Spirit Fire became increasingly fierce, and even gradually began to surround the lower half of the purple giant cauldron.

But Li Qing, who was so close, could not feel the slightest heat, because all the firepower was used to refine the medicine.

"It takes at least forty-nine days to refine the Five Elements Guiyuan Pill, but based on my previous experience of failure, this time should not be accurate."

"Using spiritual medicine to evolve the five elements into one can speed up the process of pill formation. We can try to condense the pill in thirty days at most."

"Just wait for now."

Hearing this, Li Qing quietly retreated, and then randomly found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate with his eyes closed.

It has been a peaceful period of time. Li Qing was once again surprised by the desertedness of the Imperial Pill Pavilion. It was clearly a place to serve the entire royal family, so why had no one come to ask the alchemist to help him make pills?

Later, Li Qing finally found out after asking. It turned out that the chief alchemist was too arrogant and sent away all the other alchemists in the Yudan Pavilion.

From then on, the Yudan Pavilion became his place alone, and he also set up strange rules for alchemy.

In other words, the Dayu royal family was impressed by his superb alchemy skills, otherwise they would have abandoned him long ago.

As for the other alchemists who were sent away, they were invited by the royal family to another place to set up an alchemy pavilion, thus separating themselves from Ye Qingchen.

Until now, unless there is a need to refine some rare elixirs, the chief alchemist would generally not be asked to take action.

Thirty days passed in the blink of an eye, and suddenly a roar was heard in the Yudan Pavilion.

hum!
Immediately afterwards, all the buildings in the Yudan Pavilion began to shake, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

Sensing the noise, Li Qing rushed in quickly.

I saw that huge purple cauldron was constantly shaking, and the momentum of the Senluo Spirit Fire below became much weaker, which meant that it was ready to collect the elixir.

Ye Qingchen struck out with one palm, and the Senluo Spirit Fire was completely extinguished.

Open the tripod!
boom!
A five-colored mist actually emanated from the medicine cauldron and formed a cloud of elixir in the air.

Rumble!
There was actually a roar of thunder in this cloud of Dan, which was simply incredible!

"Is this a pill tribulation?!" Li Qing's eyes widened. He had seen many heavenly tribulations and spiritual treasure tribulations were even more commonplace, but this was the first time he had seen a so-called pill tribulation.

From the moment the pill tribulation appeared, Li Qing knew that this batch of pills should have been refined.

The Five Elements Guiyuan Pill, which had stumped so many alchemists in the palace and the Imperial Academy, was actually refined, and it even caused a pill disaster.

However, we cannot be happy too soon, because if the pill tribulation is too severe, it might destroy all the pills in the furnace.

"What kind of peerless elixir is this that can even trigger a thunder tribulation!" Li Qing muttered to himself in disbelief, feeling that he had gained some new knowledge.

The next moment, a fierce roar came from the medicine cauldron:

"Roar!"

I saw a palm-sized leopard jumping out, its body was colorful and covered with layers of mist.

Refining the elixir to become a spirit, this furnace of elixir gave birth to a spiritual elixir!

Li Qing opened his eyes again. One of the pills inside actually came to life. No wonder it could trigger the pill calamity.

There was a thunderbolt striking from the Dan cloud. The colorful little leopard was extremely ferocious and actually took the initiative to respond to the disaster without avoiding it at all.

With bursts of thunder falling, the red clouds above finally became much thinner, and it was coming to an end.

After all, it is still no match for the real heavenly tribulation that cultivators have to endure. If the power of heaven is so strong, I am afraid that all elixirs will be destroyed in an instant.

The pill tribulation ended, and the little leopard nestled in the cauldron, panting. It protected all the pills in the cauldron, and from time to time it grinned at Li Qing and Ye Qingchen outside the cauldron.

"Roar~!"

Looking at the way it was protecting its food, Li Qing couldn't help feeling speechless for a moment.

"I have sealed off this palace. You can take all the pills away. Don't worry about the pill spirits escaping." Ye Qingchen said casually.

Hearing this, Li Qing grabbed all the pills in the cauldron and took away the colorful little leopard as well.

"Ah!" The little leopard bit Li Qing's finger tightly and refused to let go. In response, Li Qing mercilessly put it into a jade bottle.

The little leopard gradually turned into a round pill, but there was a leopard pattern imprinted on the pill.

A total of twelve pills were made this time, a number so large that Li Qing couldn't believe it. He had thought that having seven or eight would be good enough.

Including the spiritual elixir, he felt that he could cultivate to the late stage of refining emptiness with the help of these elixirs.

Thinking of this, Li Qing took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Ye Dan!"
