Chapter 436: Top-grade elixir, old friend comes

Gu Yunzhu, who had been wandering outside for six hundred years, brought back a large amount of medicinal herbs, materials and many rare treasures. She handed over most of her harvest to the sect, including many magical weapons and space treasures she had seized, which enriched the treasure house of Dengxianguan.

After wandering for so long and being on the verge of life and death many times, she doesn't want to go anywhere now.

Stay in the sect to read books and spend your days cultivating your mind in peace and tranquility.

She has reached the edge of a breakthrough, and has condensed the power of the three star rules of Ziwei, Taiyin, and Pojun. She is still one step away from cultivating the "Divine Way of the Stars of Heaven and Earth", also known as the "Tribulation of Heaven and Earth", a mental calamity that every powerful cultivator who wants to advance to the eighth level must go through.

At the beginning, Lao Li was suppressed and suffered for eight thousand years, experiencing "neither life nor death" before he was able to survive the calamity of life and death, and at the critical moment he completed the breakthrough of "entering the Tao" in one fell swoop. In this life, he is just restoring his cultivation, and the realm is still in his heart, so he was able to complete the leap from the sixth level to the eighth level in just two hundred years.

The path of cultivation after the eighth level is still full of ups and downs. One has to go through entering the Tao, transforming the Tao, obtaining the Tao, forgetting the Tao, and finally completing the integration of the Tao before reaching the twelfth level of perfection. There are many subdivisions within this.

Gu Yunzhu wanted to use external forces, such as a seventh-grade top-grade elixir, to catalyze his "entry into the Tao".

Zeng Wanglou promised to refine the seventh-grade top-grade elixir as soon as possible to contribute to Gu Yunzhu's breakthrough.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. The purple gold tripod used by Mr. Zeng was repaired to the upper limit of the sixth level by him using countless rare materials. However, if he wanted to refine the seventh-grade elixir, he would need at least a corresponding seventh-grade treasure furnace.

It is not easy to refine a seventh-level treasure, as it must conform to the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, with Yu Fengwu's face, he led a trip to Mu Xiaoxiao's force at Lintianmen, and found an eighth-level weapon refining master named Mo. He explained the requirements clearly, paid the materials and deposit, and then only had to wait ten years to get the upgraded purple gold tripod back.

No one was clamoring to go treasure hunting and exploring in Yuxu Territory.

As the sect leader, Xu Yuanchang has become more and more free and at ease. In addition to helping Mr. Zeng refine medicinal materials and natural treasures, he spends most of his time collecting various ethereal auras, sensing the heaven and earth, and comprehending the power of emptiness and tranquility.

Ten years passed in a flash. Zeng Wanglou and Yu Fengwu went to Lintianmen, paid the balance, and got back the brand new tripod.

After spending some time refining the purple gold cauldron, Mr. Zeng first used the cauldron to refine several furnaces of sixth-grade pills to familiarize himself with the feel. Each furnace produced nine pills, including at least five top-grade pills.

Yu Fengwu, Gu Yunzhu and other onlookers who were curious about the scene were simply stunned and thought he was a god.

Even in the upper realm, alchemists who can refine sixth-grade top-grade elixirs are extremely rare, and it is even more impossible to produce more than five top-grade pills in each furnace.

"Oh my goodness, Master Zeng, are you the reincarnation of the great alchemist of the Ninth Floor?"

Zhao Jun shouted exaggeratedly, gently pinching a red pill with an attractive halo, and carefully looking at it in the soft light. A top-grade pill like this can be exchanged for five pieces of seventh-level materials, and other sects and forces are scrambling to get it.

Because top-grade elixirs require luck to be refined, ordinary seventh-grade materials are relatively easy to obtain.

Yu Fengwu smiled and said, "An old man in the family is like a treasure. You deserve the title of deputy sect leader. Who dares to compete with you?"

She was indeed shocked. When had she ever seen such a wide variety of sixth-grade top-grade elixirs?

It’s so luxurious that it’s dazzling.

The little girl Meng Yiyi was in great luck. With so many top-grade elixirs piled up, she would surely be able to push her cultivation to the late stage of the sixth level. She was completely relieved.

Gu Yunzhu, who founded the "Tianxing Hall" of Dengxian Temple, was also full of praise: "Fellow Daoist Zeng's talent in alchemy is outstanding. Our Dengxian Temple will have another eighth-level alchemy grandmaster in the future."

When she was in the lower world, she had never dealt with Zeng Wanglou, and the two of them missed each other.

She had a wide range of interests in her previous life and understood formations, alchemy and refining. With the example of fellow Taoist Zeng, she did not dare to call herself an alchemist, as she was still far from being qualified.

Xu Shengtian followed suit. He stayed with his junior sister every day, leading a happy life like a god and didn't go anywhere else.

Zeng Wanglou laughed and said a few humble words. If it weren't for the help of the sect master using the God of Creation, how could he have refined the best pill so easily? But the lazy sect master told him not to spread the news, saying that he couldn't steal the limelight from him, the deputy sect master.

In fact, those who understand will understand.

After the sect leader performed a ritual and invited Mingyu to come, he put a batch of letters and pills into a sealed box and sent them away.

Zeng Wanglou also made full preparations for refining the seventh-level elixir. After careful consideration, he invited Xu Yuanchang to the alchemy room where a complex fire-gathering formation was set up, and said, "Master, please lend me your fire essence."

Xu Yuanchang had a more ethereal aura. He called out the fire spirit, which seldom went out and liked to stay on the platform of creation. He gave the fire spirit a few instructions, asking the chubby little creature with white fur that looked like flowing fiery threads to listen to Zeng Lao's instructions and cooperate in refining the elixir.

"Master, please stay. Help me keep an eye on the fire."

Zeng Wanglou attached great importance to the refining of his first batch of seventh-grade pills. Although the medicinal materials he bought were not rare, he had been deducing the alchemy process on his own for many years and had already mastered it by heart. He wanted to ask the sect leader to take charge in order to get some good luck and have a good start.

"Me? I won't disturb you from refining the elixir?"

Xu Yuanchang pointed at himself, and after getting an affirmative answer from Mr. Zeng, he stayed happily.

How could he refuse the opportunity to "assist" Mr. Zeng in refining pills and collect different fresh elixir energy?

Xu Yuanchang stood quietly in the corner, watching the alchemist busy at work in silence.

Old Zeng arranged the medicinal materials in an orderly manner, blended the spiritual liquid, started the fire in the three-eye furnace of the cauldron, and created three clones to sit cross-legged at three positions of the purple gold cauldron, each of them controlling the fire with hand gestures. He then dispatched fire spirits to use the yin and yang fire to maintain a certain high temperature, hovering at the bottom of the cauldron.

He sat cross-legged on top of the purple gold tripod, controlling the overall progress.

In the spacious alchemy room, it was so quiet that one could hear the subtle sound of the flames leaping.

The process of alchemy was very dull and tedious. Zeng Wanglou had to check the purple gold tripod from top to bottom and left to right every six hours, and command his three clones to change the fire control techniques and the fire temperature to refine the fused medicine.

Seven days constitutes one progress. When the second progress is about to end, a faint and pleasant medicinal fragrance wafts through the alchemy room.

Xu Yuanchang devoted 30% of his energy to comprehending the way of emptiness and tranquility. He silently collected the scent of the medicine.

On the twentieth day, the medicinal fragrance became faint, and Zeng Wang showed some caution on the surface of the building. The Purple Gold Cauldron entered the final stage of pill-making. He made hand gestures and led the three clones to control the fire to 30%, and ordered the fire spirit to reduce the Yin and Yang fire to only 10%.

When the third process was completed, Zeng Wanglou decisively extinguished the fire and let the fire spirit retreat.

About a quarter of an hour later, he pinched his fingers to open the cauldron and collect the elixir.

With a muffled "bang" sound, a huge amount of hot air gushed out.

Several bright rays shot up into the sky, one of which emitted a bright and precious light, flew out about ten feet and then disappeared.

Zeng Wanglou couldn't suppress his joy and laughed: "Where are you running to, little thing?"

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the spiritual top-grade pill in front of him. The rising heat was dissipated, and five other real pills floated around him, and three useless pills were pushed aside.

The first time he refined a seventh-grade elixir, he was able to achieve such a high success rate, especially when it became a top-grade elixir, which made him very satisfied.

Xu Yuanchang used the breeze to quickly collect all the dispersed Dan Qi and said "Congratulations, congratulations" repeatedly.

"Congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha." Zeng Wanglou stretched out his finger and threw a pill to the round fire spirit squatting on the sect master's shoulder. He rewarded the little guy for his strength and put the pill into a few jade bottles. He still had to refine a few more furnaces of the same kind of seventh-level pills to increase his experience.

"This top-grade pill can be exchanged for materials for at least five furnaces of seventh-grade pills. I'll trouble Hall Master Yu to carefully sell the pills and exchange them for more alchemy materials."

"Seventh-grade top-grade pills are rare and hard to come by. We don't have an Eighth Floor Tower in charge of this at the moment, so we have to be on guard against other forces secretly targeting us. We can ask Feng Wu to run away and go to the East Travel Region, and then ask Old Ye to help sell the pills."

After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan came up with an idea. With Old Ye's ability, he would not be afraid of trouble.

Deep down in his heart, he had a natural guard against Mu Xiaoxiao, and he didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket, spanning several domains, making it difficult for other sects to trace the source of the seventh-grade premium pill.

That afternoon, several top masters of Dengxianguan met in the Dudengshan Hall.

Sect Leader Xu mysteriously took out a sealed jade bottle from his sleeve, peeled off the talisman, wiped off the mark, and poured the bottle into the air. A bright and precious light shot up into the sky and soon became invisible.

"Hiss, seventh-grade top-grade pill!"

"It's an eye-opener. Mr. Zeng is so impressive."

"Don't run, little thing, come here, let me take a good look at you."

Xu Shengtian reached out and took the invisible pill, but handed it to the junior sister sitting next to him.

Zhao Jun rolled his eyes in disdain and said, "Please don't show off your affection in front of everyone."

Old Zeng smiled and said a few humble words, then left the hall. He was going back to prepare the second batch of medicinal materials, think about the shortcomings in the fire temperature of the first batch of pills, and improve them.

Xu Yuanchang boasted leisurely: "This sect master played a great role in refining this top-grade pill and put in a lot of effort."

His fire essence participated in the whole process of alchemy, which was equivalent to his contribution.

Yu Fengwu agreed insincerely: "Yes, what the Sect Master said is right."

Zhao Jun smiled with a fake smile on his face and said, "Master, if you know how to make pills, I will eat this top-grade pill raw."

Xu Shengtian exposed him mercilessly: "Bajiao, don't have any bad ideas. Oh, by the way, you haven't advanced to the seventh floor yet, so you can only watch and drool over the seventh-level pill."

"Soon. In at most twenty years, I will be able to be on equal footing with you guys."

Zhao Juncai didn't care about the "ridicule" and attacks from his own people.

Several people took turns to appreciate the top-grade pill. When the pill returned to the sect leader, Xu Yuanchang sealed it up. He wanted to wait until he had a few top-grade pills on hand before asking Yu Fengwu to go to the East Travel Region.

In the following two years, Xu Yuanchang "assisted" Zeng Lao in refining three furnaces of elixirs and obtained a total of five top-grade pills.

Yu Fengwu collected four of the seventh-grade top-grade pills and seven of the sixth-grade top-grade pills and traveled across the border to the Jinhe Palace.

Half a year later, she brought back a large amount of medicinal herbs and rare treasures on the list.

Gu Yunzhu actively participated in alchemy. She proposed a plan for the star elixir she needed and discussed it with Zeng Wanglou. The two of them discussed and deduced the changes in the medicinal properties or consulted classics. It took them three years to slowly perfect the elixir recipe.

There was nothing else for Sect Leader Xu to do after that. He continued to comprehend emptiness and tranquility, collecting and condensing the ethereal energy.

Ten years later, Zeng Wanglou wasted a lot of medicinal materials and refined a top-grade pill needed for the Ancient Cloud Pearl.

Gu Yunzhu put away the pills and went into seclusion from then on, never to go out again.

Xu Yuanchang also felt the bottleneck, and on a rainy spring afternoon, he went out. The sect was being managed by everyone and was thriving. He could go to the "Congzong Mountain" overseas of Fanghu Continent with peace of mind to condense the necessary Yin Sha Qi.

If you want to achieve immortal energy, just like condensing the pure energy of the mortal world, you need to collect different yin and yang spiritual auras.

The two energies of yin and yang are the beginning of wind.

On the third day after the sect leader went out, two monks, a man and a woman, came to Dengxian Temple.

"Please report to Sect Master Xu that old friends Wen Yining and Yu She are here to visit."

"Please wait a moment, my two distinguished guests."

The leading monk on duty did not tell the guests that the sect master was not there, and hurried back to the mountain gate to send a message to Abbot Xu Shengtian who was in charge of the sect's reception.

After a moment, Xu Shengtian walked out of the mountain gate with a laugh, and bowed to the two acquaintances who had ascended from the lower realm of Dingzhou: "Rare guests, congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha, come with me in and talk, Fairy Yu, Lao Zhao and the others are all on the mountain."

Wen Yining and Yu She, the former head of Daqiling in the Xiyuan Holy Land, bowed in return with happy smiles on their faces.

"Very good, very good!"

Finally, I have found a force that belongs to me.

They ascended to the upper realm at the same time and landed in the chaotic Great Desolate Mountain Region.

Fortunately, the two of them took care of each other and survived the initial discomfort and the trouble of being robbed. They flew to the city to inquire about Xu Yuanchang's news. They spent some crystal stones and without much trouble, they found out from the big trading company that Xu Yuanchang had actually founded a sect in Fangcun Mountain and established the Dengxian Temple.

The two of them hurriedly transferred several times and rushed to Fanghu Island in Fangcun Mountain to seek refuge.

They had witnessed the chaos in the Great Wilderness Mountain Area, and felt somewhat disappointed and wary of the upper realm. They knew that life was not easy for independent cultivators, and wanted to find a stable backer.

"Is Sect Master Xu here?"

"My uncle is out, don't worry about him. We can make the decision on the mountain."

Xu Shengtian has a wide range of friends in the lower realm. He has contacts with almost all people of the same level in the Seven Continents. He is an old acquaintance of Yu She and Wen Yining. However, compared with the people on the mountain, he is still not as close. He asked in a voice transmission: "How are the other people in Xiyuan? A few days ago, we were still discussing it. Why didn't any acquaintances come to watch?"

At the beginning, his uncle spent money to build up the reputation of Dengxiguan in various regions, with the idea of ​​recruiting ascended monks.

Wen Yining's eyes showed a mixture of sadness and relief, and he also changed to voice transmission and said, "It is difficult to ascend to the sky, and it is difficult to survive the thunderbolt. Before us, Xie Yunchuan from Qianfu Mountain failed to survive the thunderbolt, as did Wei Xiandeng and Xu Jingcen from Juzhou, and Ling Shiyue from Hezhou. They all ended up in failure, and their souls were destroyed."

The rough and sturdy man Yu She hurriedly added in a voice transmission: "There are still two who succeeded, such as Bai Yi from Xiyuezhou and Wu Yao, the goddess of Qingli Mountain. However, the further we go, the less optimistic the situation may be."

Xu Shengtian patted Yu She on the shoulder and said, "It's all fate."

The three of them flew towards the main peak of Dudeng Mountain together.
