I have a forging furnace.

Chapter 176: Tang Mai is injured
Lin Yu’s focus now is on refining the golden elixir.

The production of this golden elixir not only requires expensive materials, but the refining process is also very complicated.

Even the Taoist Master Guangri, who claimed to be extremely talented, only had three golden elixirs left, only one of which was of top quality, and the other two were of inferior quality.

This shows the difficulty of refining the golden elixir.

Lin Yu was a little nervous before refining. After all, the materials were so precious that he didn't have many opportunities to practice.

He did not start refining immediately, but estimated it.

The result was a bit disappointing for him as the materials he got were only enough for him to refine it five times.

If he fails five times, he won't be able to refine even a failed golden elixir, let alone the perfect golden elixir he wants.

Lin Yu thought of the scene of refining second-level elixirs in the secret realm before. They were just some middle and lower-grade second-level elixirs, but they were enough for him to cope with.

Although Lin Yu has made a lot of progress now and has mastered several times more pill recipes, the difficulty of making pills has also increased several times.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Yu gave up.

Of course, it was just a temporary giving up of the main body. On the other side of Dongzhou, his sub-body was still making efforts.

Dongdao Sect, Danding Mountain.

A man with a weathered face and gray hair was following an old man and learning.

The weathered man who was listening attentively suddenly paused, with a conflicted look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.

The old man naturally noticed the expression of the weathered man and asked curiously, "Yishan, if you have anything to ask, just ask. There's no need to be so shy."

Chu Yishan nodded and asked, "Master Alchemist, I heard that our Dongdao Sect is the only sect in Dongzhou that can refine the Jindan, which is also a second-level elixir. I wonder if I can learn it in the future?"

Dan Chen stroked his graying beard and said with a smile, "I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be the Golden Pill. Don't worry, even if you don't tell us, the sect will let you help with the Golden Pill this year."

Chu Yishan seemed a little surprised: "I have only been in the sect for a short time, is this appropriate? Isn't the sect afraid that I will leak it?"

Dan Chen smiled faintly: "Many alchemists have obtained the recipe for the golden elixir. The most important thing about the golden elixir is actually its materials."

"There are three thousand-year-old main medicines. Only our Dongdao Sect in the entire Dongzhou has the ability to cultivate them over a long period of time. Other sects can't even gather the main medicines, let alone refine them."

"I see."

Chu Yishan suddenly realized: "Then I will wait and see."

"Don't worry, the refining of this year's Jindan will begin in three months, and you will be notified then."

"Jiejindan is a second-level peak elixir, and its difficulty in refining is comparable to that of a third-level elixir."

"It doesn't matter if you don't learn it this year. There are opportunities every year, and you will learn it sooner or later."

Dan Chen continued, "The reason why the sect can attract so many talents is because of the abundant resources and many opportunities."

"If you make more contributions, you can find a way to exchange for the Golden Core, and you may even be able to break through to the Golden Core True Person in the future. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Thank you, Mr. Dan, for clearing up my confusion."

"When you become rich, just don't forget me, an old man."

"I will never forget it!"

On the one hand, the furnace can be opened for refining every year, and even newcomers can practice their skills. On the other hand, it costs a lot to get a few materials, and people are reluctant to spend the money to refine them.

Through the eyes of the sub-body, Lin Yu realized for the first time the difference between sects.

That’s right, Chu Yishan is his split body.

He joined Dongdao Sect as a second-level alchemist of Yaowang Sect. After showing a strong talent for alchemy, he was trained by Dongdao Sect.

With the help of Chu Yishan, Lin Yu gained an in-depth understanding of the number one sect in Dongzhou without leaving his home.

Of course there is envy, but not too much yearning. While resources are abundant, competition within the host sect is also very fierce.

There are more than a dozen Jindan stage cultivators, each with their own faction, and open and covert fighting exists everywhere.

Chu Yishan was also forced to join a faction, otherwise no matter how talented you are, you will easily be oppressed and killed.

Lin Yu felt that this highly competitive and dangerous environment was not suitable for him.

It is enough to let a sub-body be there to obtain resources and knowledge. There is no need to go there in person.

Since he would start refining the golden elixir in three months, Lin Yu stopped practicing with his own materials.

When the time comes, find a way to transfer some materials or waste pills over to increase his experience in refining the Golden Pill. It won't be too late to use the Golden Pill to refine it then.

For a monk, three months is just a blink of an eye and will pass in a flash.

Lin Yu put down the golden elixir and turned his attention to magic.

Many of my current techniques are only at the stage of great success, and are still some distance away from perfection. I need to continue working hard.

The mastered magic is enough to deal with ordinary cultivators, but it is far from enough to deal with old demons like the Blood Demon and Jindan-stage cultivators.

Since he couldn't break through to the Golden Core stage in a short period of time, Lin Yu decided to continue to delve deeper into his magic.

Two days passed in this uneventful manner.

Two days later, Lin Yu, who had become familiar with the technique, returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, his brows furrowed slightly.

Tang Mai, who had always behaved very elegantly, sat in a corner with a bruised face and ragged clothes. Beside him were the Fang Wenzhen sisters who were helping him treat his wounds.

"Master!"

Seeing Lin Yu coming, the three of them stood up and greeted him.

"Who was beaten?"

Lin Yu looked at Tang Mai and asked expressionlessly.

Tang Mai shook his head: "Master, this should be my personal grudge, so I won't bother you."

“Personal vendetta.”

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and repeated, "Tell me, who did it?"

Seeing Lin Yu like this, Tang Mai no longer hid anything and told him what happened in the morning.

As Lin Yu's housekeeper, Tang Mai is responsible for purchasing. Every few days, he will go to Xiaozhu Peak to buy the ingredients needed for the courtyard during this period.

Although Lin Yu is low-key in the sect, because his master is Gan Yunhui and he is Gan Yunhui's last disciple, his name is still very famous in the sect.

As Lin Yu's housekeeper, the people of Xiaozhu Peak had been very polite to Tang Mai before, and often gave him preferential treatment.

But this time when Tang Mai went to Xiaozhu Peak to purchase supplies, the attitude of the people in Xiaozhu Peak changed 180 degrees.

Not only did Tang Mai not get any discount, but he was also beaten up for no reason by the people from Xiaozhu Peak.

"Unprovoked fighting is prohibited within the sect."

Lin Yu said calmly: "You didn't contact the law enforcement department?"

"found."

Tang Mai looked dejected: "But it's useless. When the people from the law enforcement department saw those people from Xiaozhu Peak, they all called us brothers. They even said that I was sparring with the people from Xiaozhu Peak. I was beaten like this because I didn't have good skills."
