Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 137 In this case, I will just call you Beast Meatball! ( more monthly tickets requested)

"Ow—!"

Deep in the forest.

Suddenly there was a shrill scream.

A huge blue cloud leopard, which was two meters long, fell to the ground with a loud bang.

There were countless wounds all over his body.

The wound on the right side of the abdomen was the most fatal.

The membrane, which was as strong as black iron, was suddenly penetrated by a terrifying external force.

The internal organs were crushed into a ball.

Like minced meat, it flowed out of the wound and soon spread out into a large area.

Seeing the Blue Cloud Leopard, who was comparable to the peak of Qi Condensation, die on the spot, the surrounding warriors all cheered:

"As expected of you, Senior Brother Wen! You dealt this leopard a fatal blow!"

"Yes, if Senior Brother Wen hadn't been here, we would have been unable to stop it. The mad Cangyun Leopard is truly terrifying!"

"Except for Senior Brother Wen, there may not be anyone in the entire Qingcang who is at the peak of Qi Condensation and can knock down this Cangyun Leopard with one punch!"

"That's right! Among the four heroes of our Mighty Academy, Tang Junwen has achieved a level of rage that is beyond the scope of the four heroes, Ling Fengju has fallen to the point of shaking his butt on the stage, and Su He's injuries are not a big deal. It's not an exaggeration to say that our Senior Brother Wen is the leader of the four heroes. And the leader of the four heroes of the Mighty Academy is also the top one in the entire Qingcang in terms of Qi gathering!"

"But the Xiaoyuan Sect genius who is said to have killed many violent monsters should be able to kill this Cangyun Leopard easily, right?"

……

The warriors around were talking about it.

Wen Botao was initially smug, but when he heard someone praising Ning Yan, he suddenly became unhappy.

Kill many violent monsters at the peak of Qi gathering?
I am also at the peak of Qi Gathering. How could I not know the strength of that peak Qi Gathering?

Even An Gongsheng, who had survived the five roars of Xiong Wen, could only run for his life when facing a violent monster in its prime!

“You can brag, but don’t go too far, okay? You can only talk about killing violent monsters with peak Qi concentration here. If you spread it outside Qingcang, you will be laughed at.”

The people around looked at each other in confusion.

Then a warrior said weakly:

"But Ning Yan has attended Baoqi's meeting. People outside say that he was allowed to attend because he has Baoqi's strength."

"The strength of the rage?"

Wen Botao sneered:
“Isn’t it because he is going to attend the meeting in place of Zhu Kexin from Xiaoyuanmen?”

When the people around heard this, they thought it made sense for a moment, and then they began to discuss the strength of the genius from Xiao Yuanmen.

Seeing that he had successfully corrected the discussion, Wen Botao nodded in satisfaction and gave the order:

"Two people come and take this blue cloud leopard back to the processing point for handover. We will continue to go deeper."

Everyone started to take action.

Ever since the violent men formulated a plan to deal with the insect swarm, the entire Qingcang City has been put into action.

The warriors in the city were assigned various tasks, such as digging underground shelters, arranging insect repellents, transporting supplies, etc.

One of them is responsible for hunting and dealing with various monsters.

Dozens of processing points have been built around the city, with a large number of Yuanqi warriors deployed at the processing points to receive the hunted monsters. They will also pre-process these monsters, cut off and recycle some of the more important parts, and transport the rest to designated locations to serve as bait to lure insect swarms.

There are also some powerful Qi Gathering people who form hunting teams, go deep into the dense forests, hunt all kinds of monsters, and return to the processing point to rest when they are exhausted.

Because many of their relatives also live in the city, the warriors who hunt the most monsters will have their designated targets evacuated to the underground shelters first. There is also similar competition for other tasks.

Although theoretically, the giant underground shelters built in the city are deep, wide, and numerous enough to accommodate the evacuation of all citizens, those who go in first may be able to hide deeper and better, so that even if the swarm of insects really breaks into the underground shelter, they may be able to survive longer.

So everyone worked extra hard.

The same is true for digging pits and hunting monsters.

Wen Botao continued to move forward with several fellow apprentices.

They are all extremely powerful, and the weakest is only a senior Qi Gathering expert. Therefore, their level of strength is far beyond the reach of ordinary hunting teams. But because of this, they can hunt more and more powerful monsters. These powerful monsters can be exchanged for higher permissions, allowing them to designate more people to enter the basement first.

In addition, the prey of each hunting team and even each individual will be included in the statistics and ranked publicly.

Wen Botao may not care about authority, and may not care about how many people are designated to enter the shelter, but he cannot ignore the ranking.

The title of No. 1 in Qingcang was so tempting that he simply couldn't resist it.

Presumably, the hunting teams in other places are also competing secretly at this moment.

We must not lose to them!
Thinking of this, Wen Botao prepared to loudly call out to his companions to move forward.

But at this moment, a faint vibration suddenly came from the distance.

"what?!"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from.

In the dark and dense forest, trees suddenly fell down, causing dense noises and countless flying dust and leaves.

Amidst the dead leaves and dust, a huge shadow rushed towards them quickly.

"Treehorn!"

"Raging level treehorn bull!"

A sharp scream came from the crowd, the pitch was so high that it almost broke the voice.

When the warriors around heard this, they were instantly shocked, and their faces were filled with panic and horror.

The tree-horn cattle have a ferocious temperament, thick skin and flesh, and are extremely powerful.

In addition, they have broad and sharp horns on their heads that are comparable to bronze swords.

Any attack can easily kill an opponent of the same level.

If it was a tree-horned bull that had gathered energy, it would be fine. With so many people, they might be able to surround and kill it.

But how can they deal with the Treehorn Bull in the Violent Realm? !

"Everyone calm down! This treehorn is injured! We can win!!"

Wen Botao, who had sharp eyes, saw at a glance that one of the horns on the treehorn bull's head was broken off, and the other one was also broken in half. It looked like the treehorn bull had lost the fight for a mate, and even its most ferocious weapon was broken on the spot.

This is simply the best gift God has given them!
"Net up!"

At Wen Botao's command, more than a dozen warriors immediately dispersed.

When the tree-horned bull rushed close, the dark copper silk net used to hunt powerful monsters suddenly popped up and opened.

In an instant, the extremely ferocious tree-horned bull was completely blocked by the dark bronze silk net.

Due to the huge force of the impact, several senior Qi Gathering practitioners were blown away.

If there weren't other people holding it back, it would have been completely overturned on the spot.

This brute force is so fucking powerful!
"Die to me!!"

Wen Botao roared, his vital energy circulated rapidly, his face turned red, and his right fist suddenly became extremely large, smashing hard at the huge egg sack of the tree-horned bull.

A shrill and painful roar of "Ah".

The treehorn bull kicked back violently with its hind legs.

Even though he had been prepared in advance, Wen Botao was still kicked hard and flew away, knocking down a bush. His blood rushed to his head and he was about to vomit blood on the spot.

"Damn it, it's just a pill that got knocked off, why are you so angry?"

The tree-horn bull pulled through the wire mesh and turned its head to look at him, its eyes bloodshot.

It didn't even try to run. It snorted, held its broken horn, and charged towards Wen Botao with great hatred, with its muscles bulging.

The Qi gathering around them couldn't even hold on and were all carried away, dragging on the ground. Some even had their pants pulled off by the surrounding bushes, and their lower bodies rubbed violently against the rough ground.

"Violent Flame Fist!"

Wen Botao barely dodged the attack and punched the sturdy bull's body hard.

With a dull "bang", the ferocious punch that was powerful enough to penetrate the Cang Yun Leopard landed on the tree-horned bull, but only created an extremely shallow dent, just like a baby punching an adult's belly.

Wen Botao's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

The tree-horned bull shook its head violently, and its huge head was like a hammer, smashing him away on the spot, breaking five or six trees and falling to the ground.

Wen Botao finally couldn't bear it any longer and spurted out a mouthful of blood on the spot. His vital energy was also dispersed and his vision went black for a moment.

When he recovered, he saw two huge cow hooves raised high and about to fall.

Wen Botao's face turned pale with horror, and he froze in place:
"My life is over!"

At this moment, a faint light flashed out like lightning and hit the tree-horned bull violently.

The terrifying and sturdy tree-horned bull suddenly let out a painful roar, and its huge body almost fell to the ground.

When it finally stabilized itself, a figure suddenly rushed out from the woods, and punched the tree-horned bull's head like thunder and lightning!

"Don't--!"

"boom!"

With a thunderous explosion, the huge bull's head exploded on the spot, and countless pieces of flesh and blood mixed with bones splattered in all directions, instantly soaking the faces and bodies of the surrounding Weiwu Academy warriors.

The sharp broken horn just pierced a man's crotch, causing his face to turn green.
"If it's off by two inches...what will happen to my little Cui..."

The headless body of the treehorn bull lay motionless like a mountain of flesh.

Then it shook twice and fell to the ground with a loud bang, shaking the earth with a dull sound.

Ning Yan stepped forward and pulled out the dark bronze knife that was pierced into the right shoulder blade of the tree-horned bull.

He then turned his head to look at Wen Botao who was looking dazed behind him and said curiously:

"What did you just say 'don't'?"

Wen Botao's face flushed red, and it took him a long time to utter a few words:
"...I told you not to break its broken horn. Its broken horn can be used to grind medicine, which is very valuable."

"Really? Is that so?"

Ning Yan's eyes suddenly widened, and he became heartbroken:
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have cut off the other horn."

"Wha, what?"

Wen Botao looked horrified:
"Did you cut off its other horn as well?"

"I can't help it. I can't control it during a fight."

Ning Yan sighed.

"That's a bull horn as hard as bronze!!"

Wen Botao screamed almost like a groan.

"It's just comparable, not the real Phantom Bronze."

Ning Yan asked curiously:

"The one in my hand is a genuine bronze sword, and it seems to have been melted with other metals. I think the greater the force, the sharper the sword becomes. So isn't it normal for me to chop off its horns?"

"You are right. All of it."

"Okay, seeing that you are all fine now, I suggest you don't go in anymore. There are violent monsters everywhere in there, it's very chaotic. If your team rushes in carelessly, you might be wiped out."

Faced with Ning Yan's reminder, everyone agreed with lingering fear.

Just a wounded treehorn bull almost caused them serious injuries. It seemed that the place was not suitable for them to enter.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Ning Yan call out:

"Brother Zhao, there is another one here. Can you please bring some people to take care of it and transport it over?"

Then I heard an angry shout from the forest:
"I fucking told you to kill slower. We don't have enough manpower! Not enough at all!!"

"You have fun killing people, but at least consider the logistics!!"

Following the shout, nearly twenty warriors from Xiao Yuan Sect walked out of the forest one after another.

What shocked Wen Botao and others to the point that their scalps tingled was that these nearly twenty warriors were all carrying the corpses of tree-horned cattle.

Each corpse looked extremely miserable, with huge bloody holes on most of the bodies, which were obviously caused by fists.

Wen Botao's brain went blank just thinking about how the punch almost broke his hand bones.

Ning Yan said helplessly:
"We just happened to run into a group of treehorns. What can I do? I can't just watch them run away."

"Damn it, I came here to earn merit, but now I'm just transporting monsters for you."

Zhao Ming said angrily, the fat on his belly trembling.

"Well, at worst I can give you a few when we go back to settle the bill."

"It's agreed, I want one, no, two!"

"Two ends means two ends, everyone gets a share!"

The warriors of Xiaoyuan Sect cheered loudly:

"Senior Brother Ning is so domineering!"

"Senior Brother Ning is so awesome!"

"Long live Senior Brother Ning!"

……

"Live a hundred years? If you keep scolding me!"

……

After defeating a group of tree-horned cattle, Ning Yan and his party went straight back.

Wen Botao was injured, and the team retreated to rest.

Many people freed up their hands to help Zhao Ming and others move the tree-horn cattle.

On the contrary, Wen Botao became silent after seeing those tree-horned cattle.

Ning Yan ate the beast meat to restore his strength while changing his shoes.

There were still a few pairs of shoes left in the package, but all the meat had been eaten.

After all, it would be extremely exhausting for one person to face an entire herd of tree-horned cattle.

Although Zhao Ming and others were useful, their usefulness was limited to waving flags and cheering, and they had to stand far away when waving flags and shouting to prevent accidental injuries in the battle.

Ning Yan didn't really care about this, but the only thing that bothered him was that it was too troublesome to carry the animal meat with him.

It’s better this time with a lot of logistics support following me.

If I ever travel far away alone in the future, I can't carry a big suitcase with me.

It would be better if the meat could be made smaller.

Ning Yan sighed, shook his head, and took out a piece of dark bronze armor.

Previously, when he was exploring in the forest, he accidentally discovered a den of a red-tailed rockheart wolf.

He found a lot of remains and relics of warriors in that nest.

Before they had finished searching, they ran into the group of red-tailed rockheart wolves returning.

Led by an alpha wolf that was almost at the peak of its fury, he was chased by the wolves and fled in panic, almost failing to escape.

Since then, he designated the southern area as a restricted area and reported the news.

It was not only to warn the rest of the hunting teams, but also to allow Qiao Zhanyue and others to deal with it in time.

Holding the bronze armor piece, Ning Yan now had time to examine it carefully.

The reason why he left this piece of armor was that there were a lot of tiny words engraved on it.

I originally thought it recorded some kind of martial arts technique, but after a careful look I discovered that it actually recorded some insights into spiritual practice.

"Why is it so serious to just practice enlightenment? Isn't enlightenment something you can have whenever you want?"

Ning Yan curled his lips and reached out to break off the nail plate.

When I peeled off a layer, I saw some small words written inside.

At first glance, it turned out to be just an ordinary alchemy book.

Opening up another layer, it turned out to be a detailed record of alchemy:

"When I first learned the art of alchemy, I was delighted and studied it with the ambition to save the common people."

"If you refine a hundred times, you will get one, and it will be square in shape. If you give it to a dog, it will die."

"After refining thirty, you get one, which is burnt black like charcoal. Give it to a monkey, and why does the monkey die?"

"I got one out of fifteen, and it was perfect. My alchemy skills improved greatly, and I seriously injured my second senior brother, who died suddenly."

"I got one out of nine. The medicine smells delicious. I gave it to my seriously injured senior brother, but he declined. I fed it to him while he was sleeping, and he never woke up."

"Practice seven and you will get one. The fragrance will be like clouds. The alchemy will definitely be perfect. I present it to my master. My master will take it during the war and die at the hands of the enemy. How hateful the enemy is!"

"I can get one out of five by refining. I have no chance to make the magic elixir. I can't make any more progress in my alchemy skills, so I went to collect herbs and refine them in large quantities to save the world. I happened to meet a wolf in the forest, hiding in a tree, and decided to fight it after taking the medicine!"

There is nothing below.

Ning Yan thought about it and thought that it was probably because the scales were too small to fit on the letter.

It is also possible that it accidentally fell during the battle and was taken away by the wolf.

I don’t know how that guy is doing now.

If I can find the person, I must return this armor plate to him.

He is determined to save the world, and he keeps fighting despite repeated failures and never gives up. He is truly an admirable man.

Ning Yan carefully wrapped up the bronze armor piece and put it away.

When they arrived at the processing point, the violent tree-horned bulls brought by the group instantly caused a widespread sensation.

Countless warriors flocked over and looked at the monsters they brought with shock on their faces.

The warrior who was taking notes had trembling fingers and stuttered for a long time before he could answer clearly.

Ning Yan gave several of them to Zhao Ming and other warriors in his group without hesitation, because his ranking had always been firmly in the first place, far exceeding the total of the top ten behind him. Even if he gave away all of this batch of tree-horn cattle, he would still be the undisputed first.

People around him only felt envy, jealousy and hatred for Ning Yan's actions.

Although everyone knew that it was impossible for Zhao Ming and others to hunt those tree-horned cattle, they were willing to give them to you, and there was nothing you could do.

Looking at Zhao Ming and others with smug looks on their faces, many casual cultivators even wanted to join Xiao Yuanmen on the spot.

Even if there are no similar activities after the swarm ends, with the leadership of Brother Ning, who is righteous and powerful, there is no need to worry about not having good things happen to them in the future.

After handing over the tree-horn cattle on site, Ning Yan left the gathering point without hesitation and prepared to return to the city to check on the progress of all parties.

When he left the field, Wen Botao, who had been half-dead, suddenly became full of energy again.

He turned his head to look at his depressed fellow apprentices and said loudly:

“Don’t be discouraged, everyone. Senior Brother Ning is considered to be hot-tempered. We definitely can’t compare to him. Even if we lose, it’s nothing.

Putting aside Senior Brother Ning's team, our team's harvest is definitely ranked first. If you don't believe me, ask the recorder."

Wen Botao asked the recorder confidently.

"Ranking?"

The recorder flipped through the volumes:

"Your [Team Heaven and Earth Only I Am The Only One] didn't even make it into the top ten."

"What? This is impossible!"

Wen Botao's face was full of disbelief.

The warriors behind him also raised their doubts.

The recorder said unhappily:
"I'm not the only one recording it, so there's no way I could have made a mistake."

"Then tell me which ones are in the top ten!"

Wen Botao asked angrily.

The recorder flipped through the volume and said:
"Second place, [Yao Lanxi Team of Yanyang Group], five violent monsters."

"Third place, [Yanyang Group Bian Conghu Team], four violent monsters."

"Fourth place, [Yanyang Group Gou Jingxian Team], three violent monsters, nine peak energy gathering monsters."

……

"The tenth place is [Yan Yang Group Zhu Jiu Gong Team], one violent monster, three peak Qi gathering monsters, and twelve ordinary Qi gathering monsters."

Wen Botao looked confused after hearing this.

Yan Yang Group, where the hell did this terrifying sect come from? !
How come everyone can hunt violent monsters? ? !

When did the Violent Monster become so cheap? !

Wen Botao was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Senior Brother Wen!"

“Senior Brother Wen!!”

The surrounding disciples were instantly thrown into chaos.

……

Ten miles outside the city gate.

Countless warriors were piling up various kinds of hay and firewood to form huge stacks of hay and firewood.

From time to time, warriors would stuff some small wooden boxes in it.

Ning Yan knew without even opening it that the wooden box must contain various kinds of insect repellent powders. These insect repellent powders were collected desperately by Wanfa Pavilion and major drug stores. Almost all the insect repellent powders in the city were concentrated here.

But if they wanted to cover the entire circular area ten miles outside the city, it would definitely not be enough to rely solely on insect repellent powder, so later on they added a lot of miscellaneous things, anything that could repel insects or even be harmful to insects, they were all added in.

For example, various spicy medicines, smelly agents, poisons, etc.

Once they were all set on fire, the scene would be so beautiful that Ning Yan couldn't even imagine it.

Anyway, no one knows whether the black-winged borer that flies in will die, but ordinary people who approach recklessly will definitely be suffocated to death.

However, at that time, ordinary people were hiding in the underground shelters in the city, so I guess nothing would happen.

Going all the way inside the city gate, the Eagle Square, which had experienced war, now seemed even more chaotic.

The doors of each household were closed, and inside were people of all ages, women and children, packing their things. As for the adult men in the homes, they were basically all called up to dig shelters.

Although there are many warriors in the city, they are still no match for ordinary people.

Heavy work such as digging can be left to warriors, but simpler tasks such as transporting soil, replenishing food, and maintaining logistics can be left entirely to ordinary people, thereby greatly improving digging efficiency.

Ning Yan walked through the huge construction site, bypassed the crowd that was as busy as ants, and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

At first glance, I saw Wu Xuantian walking out with a frown and a bitter look on his face.

"Brother Wu, what are you going to do?" "Brother Ning."

Wu Xuantian smiled bitterly and said:

"They asked me to come out and find some materials."

"Why, is your practice of Corpse Soul Powder not going well?"

Ning Yan asked with a frown.

Corpse Soul Powder is exactly the poison that Yue Letang mentioned.

This poison is different from ordinary poisons and is extremely contagious.

It is made from resentful souls, corpse poison, the remains of violent monsters, and many auxiliary medicines.

After being released, it will directly act on the mind. The soul of any organism that dies from this poison will be absorbed by the corpse soul powder, further strengthening the medicinal properties.

Therefore, a small dose is enough to destroy an entire insect swarm.

But I heard that this poison is difficult to make.

Another thing is that some of the auxiliary medicines are very scarce and difficult to get together.

Fortunately, Jin Chaoliang and Qiao Zhanyue managed to solve the second problem.

As for the first question, four people who had learned alchemy were working on refining it at the same time.

But at the moment, it seems that the progress is quite slow.

"It just so happens that I have some free time now. What materials are you still missing? I can help you find them."

"Here, they're all on the list."

Wu Xuantian handed over the prescription. Among the thirty-six raw materials, five were circled in red.

"These materials are more troublesome. They either have to be used within an hour of being picked, or they have to be grown in a certain period of time, so it is difficult to accumulate them in advance. In addition, the alchemy consumption of the four of you is relatively large, and the main materials and other materials are a bit insufficient. We also need to get some more."

"Okay, let's split up and look for it. If we work together, the time can be shortened by at least half."

"Well, you go east and I go west, and we'll meet up here later."

Ning Yan agreed immediately and turned and left.

It is not difficult to collect materials. Many nearby pharmacies have them. The so-called collection is just to bring them over.
In just half an hour, Ning Yan came back with a large pile of materials.

I took a quick glance and saw a message written on the doorpost:

"Junior Brother Ning, I'll send the materials in first. You can send them in later to prevent the medicine from expiring."

"Ah, you're just leaving a message now that I've brought it back?"

Ning Yan took the herbs and walked inside with a pained look on his face.

The city lord's mansion was filled with the aroma of medicine, occasionally mixed with a hint of burnt and stinky tofu smell.

I don’t know which little genius managed to make poison taste like stinky tofu.

Not to mention, the smell was quite authentic, and it made him feel very hungry.

"Wake up, that's poison."

Ning Yan slapped himself, then thought again:
"Maybe the poison that was wasted in the refining process wasn't poison at all, but stinky tofu?"

When I thought of this, my saliva almost started to water.

"No, slurp, we have to do something else, slurp."

Ning Yan turned around and prepared to leave the City Lord's Mansion.

At least plant the seedlings that have just been picked back and pick them again when they are needed.

As he was thinking, before he took a few steps, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a medicine cauldron out of the corner of his eye.

"what?"

Ning Yan walked closer and immediately found a medicine cauldron thrown casually in the corner of the yard. There was a piece missing from the mouth of the cauldron. It must have been thrown here because it was not perfect.

"It's not unusable just because it's missing a piece. Why do you despise it so much?"

He picked up the medicine cauldron, brushed off the dust on its surface, and glanced at the pile of materials he had brought with him.

After hesitating for a while, Ning Yan sat down cross-legged in a very simple manner:
"Forget it, I'll try to make the elixir myself. Anyway, those ingredients might not survive if sent back. Why not give it a try? I think this poison is pretty easy to make."

Thinking this in his mind, he unloaded the packages around him.

"Let me see how this poison is made."

Ning Yan opened the prescription.

"Add a resentful soul first."

Ning Yan threw in a piece of resentful soul wood, and the resentful soul sealed inside kept making shrill screams.

"Add two nettle mushrooms."

Ning Yan threw in two nettle mushrooms covered in mud, which looked particularly fresh.

"Then there was another purple star grass."

Ning Yan threw in the purple star grass that contained a small insect.

……

After throwing in eight or nine ingredients in succession, it was almost time to light the medicine cauldron.

There was no fire at hand.

"Forget it, use your energy."

"It's the same with using vitality."

Ning Yan directly activated his Burning Flame Energy and slapped the medicine cauldron, and the ingredients inside began to cook immediately.

"During the refining process, you need to constantly use the alchemy techniques to adjust the medicinal properties."

It just so happened that the piece of dark bronze armor that I got not long ago contained a book called “The Great Method of Alchemy in Broad Daylight”.

The spell was very simple and easy to understand, and Ning Yan learned it the first time he saw it.

Now that I need to make pills, it is just right to use them together, and I don’t have to go to Wanfa Pavilion to buy alchemy techniques.

While Ning Yan was practicing the "Daytime Alchemy Technique", he kept adding materials and continued to refine the medicine. Soon, bursts of medicinal fragrance emanated from the medicine cauldron.

Gradually drifting away.

Gradually drifting away.

……

"What is the taste?"

Wu Xuantian wrinkled his nose slightly as he walked in the corridor. He always felt that the fragrance was faintly sweet and made his mind slightly dizzy.

"Could it be that the Corpse Soul Powder has been successfully cultivated?"

Wu Xuantian was shocked, and then he was delighted.

"Let me see who has mastered it."

Following the sweet medicinal fragrance, he tracked it all the way and soon came to a small courtyard near the outskirts of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, all the medicinal fragrance was gathered in the yard, and it seemed that the medicinal powder was about to be successfully made.

"Strange, is there anyone else practicing Corpse Soul Powder?"

Turning the corner, Wu Xuantian was slightly startled when he saw Ning Yan sitting in front of the medicine cauldron.

At the same time, Ning Yan also saw Wu Xuantian, and immediately smiled and waved:
"Brother Wu, come here quickly, do you think I am practicing the Corpse Soul Powder?"

Wu Xuantian walked forward with a strange look on his face.

He remembered that during the previous meeting when alchemy was discussed, this junior fellow student said that he had never learned it.

How come you started practicing again in the blink of an eye?
When he arrived in the yard, Wu Xuantian's face twitched slightly when he saw the medicine cauldron with a broken corner.

He was the one who threw away this medicine cauldron. I heard from Yue Letang that this medicine cauldron was leaking and damaged and could not be used at all. Why was it given to Ning Yan to make medicine now?

Ning Yan walked over to him with great strides, and with a look of joy on his face, he opened the medicine cauldron and showed it to him:
"Look at what I'm doing, isn't it?"

Wu Xuantian looked at the medicinal powder inside.

The color is pure white, no problem.

No smell, no problem.

As long as the powder doesn't disperse, there's no problem.

……

After checking all the characteristics of the Soul Powder, all of them were found to be normal.

"You really made the Corpse Soul Powder?"

Wu Xuantian's face was filled with shock.

Ning Yan chuckled:
"I told you, this Corpse Soul Powder isn't that difficult to refine."

Wu Xuantian was confused:

"But I remember you said before that you didn't know how to make medicine? How come you can do it in the blink of an eye?"

"I accidentally found a book on alchemy in the woods. After reading it, I found that alchemy seemed to be quite simple. I happened to have a lot of materials on hand, so I decided to give it a try. I didn't expect that I succeeded at the first try!"

"It succeeded in one refining?"

"It succeeded after one refining."

Wu Xuantian always felt that something was wrong. Tang Junwen and the others were all experienced in alchemy. They had been refining pills for such a long time, and every time they refined a furnace, they would destroy it. It couldn't be that his junior brother's alchemy was so simple.

There must be something wrong!
Wu Xuantian looked at Ning Yan and said in a deep voice:
"Junior Brother Ning, I think you should know that I don't know much about elixirs. Maybe your medicine powder just looks like it, but it's not actually the Corpse Soul Powder. I think it would be better to ask the others to confirm it."

Ning Yan nodded and said:
"Senior Brother Wu's words make sense. Let's go together."

Ning Yan picked up the broken tripod and followed Wu Xuantian into the City Lord's Mansion.

Before entering the alchemy room, I saw Tang Junwen and Chen Hongyuan walking out of it, covered in dust.

Tang Junwen's steps were unsteady, his face was pale, and his vitality was severely depleted.

On the other hand, Chen Hongyuan was even more unlucky. His face was blue and his lips were purple. He looked like he was poisoned. At this moment, he was trembling as he took the detoxification pill.

After the detoxification pill entered his stomach and he spat out a large mouthful of dark blue liquid, Chen Hongyuan's complexion looked better.

"How is the progress of your corpse soul powder refining?"

Hearing Wu Xuantian's question, Tang Junwen and Chen Hongyuan looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time.

"I have discovered that this Corpse Soul Powder is not something we can make."

Tang Junwen shook his head, looking helpless.

“Brother Tang is right. With our alchemy skills, we can’t even complete the entire medicine preparation process.

The method of refining Corpse Soul Powder is too complicated and consumes too much energy. It is estimated that only a true alchemy master can refine it.

For laymen like us who have only studied the basics for a few years, it is really too much to ask us to practice this right away."

Chen Hongyuan smiled bitterly.

"Then help me check if the medicine in this cauldron contains the Corpse Soul Powder?"

As he spoke, Wu Xuantian took the broken medicine cauldron over.

As they examined the white medicine powder inside, the shock on their faces became more and more intense.

Tang Junwen said with surprise:

"May I ask which master created this achievement? Is it Master Yue or Master Jin?"

Chen Hongyuan also looked over hurriedly.

Wu Xuantian said with a strange look:

"This was made by my junior fellow apprentice."

"what?!"

The two looked at Ning Yan, their faces full of disbelief.

"Brother Ning, don't you know how to make medicine?"

Chen Hongyuan asked in confusion.

“No, but I learned it later.”

Ning Yan spread his hands:
"I thought this alchemy method wasn't that difficult to learn, so I tried it and succeeded."

Why not try practicing it?

Tang Junwen and Chen Hongyuan's faces twitched slightly as they listened.

Is it true that emotional corpse dispersion is something that can be achieved just by trying?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a shout from behind:
"Why are you all gathered here? Has the Soul Powder been refined?"

Looking back, I saw Yue Letang and Jin Chaoliang walking towards this side together.

"Master Yue, you are right. The Corpse Soul Powder has indeed been refined."

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Yue Letang could no longer control himself.

He practiced with Jin Chaoliang for a long time, but all ended in failure.

I was just asking casually, but I didn't expect that I could actually succeed.

He immediately hurriedly came forward with Jin Chaoliang.

Looking at the medicinal powder in the broken cauldron, Yue Letang couldn't help but said happily:

"It is indeed the Corpse Soul Powder."

"Not only that, it's also a top-grade corpse soul powder."

Jin Chaoliang smiled and asked:

"Which one of you made it?"

Tang Junwen and Chen Hongyuan couldn't help but look at Ning Yan at the same time.

"Don't you know how to make an alchemy?"

Yue Letang asked the same question again.

Ning Yan said helplessly:
"I think this medicinal powder is not difficult to make."

"wrong."

Jin Chaoliang was surprised:

"Do you know the order and precautions for refining medicinal powder?"

"Senior Brother Wu gave it to me."

Ning Yan replied honestly.

Wu Xuantian looked bewildered:
"All I gave you was a list of medicinal materials."

Ning Yan was confused:
"Isn't that the recipe written on it? I prepared the medicine according to that order."

"What about your heat and refining details?"

The more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong.

"Isn't this all about feeling?"

Ning Yan asked curiously:

"It's just like cooking. If you add too much rice, add some water. If you add too much water, add more rice. It's very easy."

"Practice it again and let me see."

Seeing that everyone had confused and unbelievable expressions on their faces, Ning Yan sat down on the ground neatly.

"You're not going to the alchemy room? You don't want to use the medicine furnace in the alchemy room?"

Yue Letang asked curiously.

"It's just refining a pill, why is it so troublesome?"

Ning Yan waved his hands, looking as if you guys are seeing something strange.

Then he started to follow the original operation and added all kinds of medicinal materials. He accidentally added too much and picked the herbs back from the pot, which made everyone's eyes twitch.

However, in the end, when everyone saw the furnace of Corpse Soul Powder appearing in the medicine cauldron again, their minds froze.

Then it slowly twisted into a question mark.

what?

What did they see? !

How can this be accomplished?!
"I understand! His alchemy skills must be very special!"

Yue Letang suddenly realized:
"It is said that some special alchemy techniques can even ignore the order in which the medicinal materials are added, greatly improving the success rate of the pill!"

Everyone looked at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan did not keep it to himself and immediately taught the "Daytime Alchemy Method" to everyone.

The "Daytime Alchemy Method" was indeed simple and easy to understand, and everyone learned it quickly.

Soon after, they all followed suit, found the medicine furnace in the alchemy room, and started refining the medicine frantically.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Four explosion sounds were heard in succession.

Yue Letang and others walked out of the alchemy room covered in dust and dirt.

"Something's wrong. What's going on?"

"It's obviously the same alchemy technique, the same materials, why can he succeed but we can't?"

People simply couldn't understand it.

"Brother Ning, would you like to refine another furnace for us to see?"

Ning Yan sighed.

Faced with such a group of dull students, he had no choice but to take out the medicine cauldron again and demonstrate how to operate it in front of them, step by step and detail by detail.

Yue Letang and others stood by, staring at his movements without blinking.

After the refining was completed, he looked at the Corpse Soul Powder that had been successfully condensed in the medicine cauldron again.

Jin Chaoliang seemed to have discovered something crucial, and immediately said:
"According to the alchemy technique that Brother Ning just explained, when adding the evil soul sand, the medicinal properties seem to be immediately refined. But when we use the "Daytime Alchemy Technique", at this stage, there is no time to refine it at all, and it will explode immediately. Why is it so easy to refine the medicinal properties here?"

"You ask me this, I don't know."

Ning Yan looked confused:
“It’s like one plus one equals two, and I don’t know why, but it just equals two.

When you practice alchemy to that point, the medicinal properties will be refined. If you want to know why, it is written in the alchemy manual. "

Jin Chaoliang asked some other questions, such as why his vital energy suddenly split into three when he practiced alchemy at a certain step, and why certain waste materials would automatically burn. However, Ning Yan's explanation made them more and more confused, and in the end they even doubted whether they could make alchemy at all.

"Okay, okay, that's it."

Yue Letang rubbed his temple, looking exhausted:
"No matter what, it's a good thing that the Corpse Soul Powder has been refined. Let's try to refine more."

"Isn't one pair enough?"

"A saturation attack. If the swarm disperses, we won't just stand by and watch."

"Well, get me all the materials and watch him make a thousand of them!"

The plan was finalized and many raw materials were transported in like flowing water.

Ning Yan kept refining the pills, and he became more and more proficient at it. In the end, he could even refine the pills while eating.

Anyway, this thing is very simple to make, and it doesn’t interfere with eating vegetables.

It’s a pity that he was unable to make a thousand pairs.

It finally stopped at 123 pairs.

There's nothing we can do. We've run out of materials.

Finished refining the last set of Corpse Soul Powder.

After thinking about it, based on the principle of not wasting anything, he rinsed the medicine cauldron with the water from the hot pot, and then took out a large piece of dried animal meat.

"If you can refine medicinal powder, then it stands to reason that you can refine dried animal meat as well, just refine it in a smaller size."

Ning Yan threw in a dozen heavy fist-sized pieces of dried animal meat and frantically refined it using the "Daytime Alchemy Method".

Finally, the lid was opened, revealing three thumb-sized meatballs.

“The essence is concentrated.”

Ning Yan swallowed the meatball and his stomach instantly felt full.

Just this one is enough to complete a meal.

"In that case, I'll just call you Beast Meatball."

Ning Yan burped and devoted himself to refining the beast meat balls with a look of joy on his face.

……

Xiaocangshan Mountain.

Bacchus Peak.

In the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

A large group of red-tailed rockheart wolves were fleeing forward madly.

The leading one possesses a terrifying strength that is close to that of the peak of violent power.

However, a violent buzzing sound came rapidly approaching.

The wolves suddenly burst into sharp and short howls.

After a while, wait until the black clouds pass by.

Only dozens of huge skeletons of red-tailed rockheart wolves remained on the site.

The dense forest behind him was dead silent and desolate, as if no life had ever existed there.

The swarm of insects gradually approached Qingcang County.
