Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 394 Are you out of confinement?

"Give these pills to Senior Sister Yeyu."

Zhong Lin pointed at the six gourds in front of him that were half the height of a man and gave an order.

"Yes, senior brother."

Jin Yi, who had been promoted to a fourth-grade alchemist, nodded respectfully and waved his right hand, putting all six tall gourds into his storage bracelet.

Zhong Lin glanced at the female disciple standing beside him, frowning slightly and said, "Still can't refine the Dingyan Pill?"

You Shulan's face turned pale, she lowered her head in shame, and dared not speak.

Zhong Lin sighed, took out a blank jade book, probed his spiritual sense into it and wrote and drew something, then handed it to You Shulan after a while.

"This contains some of the key points in refining the Dingyan Pill. I will study it more in the future."

You Shulan was so excited that her eyes were red. She said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Senior Brother. I will never let you down."

"Go back and prepare. Tomorrow I will start refining the Jiazi Pill."

"Yes."

Jin Yi and You Shulan bowed respectfully and then slowly left the hall.

"Junior Sister You, congratulations in advance on your promotion to a fourth-grade alchemist." Jin Yi said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense when the fate is still unfinished."

You Shulan quickly signaled Jin Yi not to talk nonsense, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Jin Yi glanced at the jade book in You Shulan's hand and said enviously, "With the secret of Dingyan Pill written down by Senior Brother Zhong, you can refine the pill as long as you follow the steps. Becoming a fourth-grade alchemist is just a piece of cake for you."

"Senior Brother Zhong only gave me a hand because he saw that I was stupid. I am not as talented as you, Senior Brother Jin, who was able to make a fourth-grade barrier-breaking pill on your own. By the way, Senior Sister Yeyu said that as long as you are promoted to a fourth-grade alchemist, you will be eligible to rent a room on Ziyuan Street and become an alchemist in the Dan Pavilion. Senior Brother Jin, you said before that you don't like restrictions. Are you leaving this time?" You Shulan said.

Jin Yi was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He looked towards the door behind him, fearing that his words would be heard by others. Then he pulled You Shulan and flew out of Liuxuan Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Jin, what's wrong?" You Shulan asked in confusion.

"Junior Sister You, if we hadn't known each other for many years, I would have suspected that you did it on purpose."

Jin Yi glanced at You Shulan with dissatisfaction. "I was young and naive before, and I had never met a master of alchemy like Senior Brother Zhong Lin. However, after just one year of following Senior Brother Zhong Lin, I was promoted to a fourth-grade alchemist. How could I give up such an opportunity? As long as Senior Brother doesn't drive me away, I will stay here forever. Isn't that what you think, Junior Sister?"

You Shulan blurted out: "Of course I don't want to leave either."

"That's good, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll go deliver the medicine, and Junior Sister, go prepare the materials for refining the Jiazi Pill. Don't delay Senior Brother Zhong's alchemy plan."

"Ah."

The two stopped talking and went about their own business.

In the hall, Zhong Lin slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, looked at the large number of pills lying in the storage bracelet, and a smile appeared on his face.

It has been a year since he returned from the Earth Rift Canyon. During this year, he basically has not left the Liuxuan Pavilion on Juying Peak. Apart from completing the tasks assigned by the Juying Club, he has been refining all the resources obtained from the medicine garden in the Earth Rift Canyon into pills.

Of course, spiritual practice was not neglected.

Alchemy is actually a process of cultivation. After all, the delicate manipulation of flames requires extremely strict strength, and every time of alchemy is an extremely serious practice.

However, cultivation in the Xuandan realm is extremely difficult. Although Zhong Lin's cultivation has improved in a year, he is still stuck in the middle stage of the Xuandan realm and shows no signs of a breakthrough.

"Now I understand why the lifespan of those in the Xuandan realm is thousands of years. It's because they are afraid that there won't be enough time to practice and break through!" Zhong Lin complained helplessly.

He took out a Dragon-Tiger Pill and swallowed it. The pill melted in his mouth, and the surging medicinal power was like a dragon and a tiger meeting, dispersing into the Xuandan, becoming the foundation of his strength. What is the so-called dragon and tiger?
It is not a real dragon or tiger, but the opposition of yin and yang, and the mutual restraint of water and fire.

The Xuandan is made up of the three treasures of the human body, namely, essence, qi and spirit. The so-called nourishing essence, practicing qi, and preserving spirit are to capture Kan and fill Li.

Harmonize the dragon and the tiger, operate yin and yang, and even promote and assist each other, polish the Xuandan to the limit, enough to bear the limit of the power of Yin Sha.

Feeling the Xuandan growing stronger again, Zhong Lin's face showed a hint of joy.

The second-grade Xuandan has its own advantages, that is, its potential is long-lasting. Although the growth of cultivation is slow, its power is indeed increasing day by day.

No one at the same level can defeat him. Even a strong man in the late Xuandan stage or even a perfect one can defeat him.

On the second day, You Shulan brought the elixir that had been prepared long ago.

Making elixirs has always been a profound subject. It does not mean throwing all the medicinal materials into the cauldron at once. That is boiling medicine, not refining elixirs.

There are thousands of kinds of magical medicines, either in pairs of two, combinations of three, or groups of five.

Some need to be boiled into paste, some need to be refined into liquid, and some need to be ground into powder...

Some of these things can be the main ingredients for alchemy, while some are just auxiliary agents to promote the fusion of two medicinal properties.

The higher the quality of the elixir, the more complicated it is, just like stacking a tall building with playing cards. If one step goes wrong, the entire alchemy process will fail. At the very least, the elixir will fail and turn into slag. At the worst, a strange elixir will be produced that is of no use.

The so-called "Gui Dan" is a pill whose specific use is unknown. It may be more effective, or it may be less effective, or it may even turn into a poison pill.

In this way, the role of "Dan Nu" was extended in some evil sects, whose role was to test the elixir.

Zhong Lin trained You Shulan and Jin Yi for the purpose of helping them handle some of the preliminary preparations for alchemy, such as refining some elixirs into liquids, powders, pastes, etc., just to save Zhong Lin some time when refining the elixir.

The Jiazi Pill is a seventh-grade pill. One pill can extend one's lifespan by sixty years. It is not very useful for cultivation, but it is enough to drive warriors who are nearing the end of their lifespan crazy. It can be said to be one of the best-selling pills.

The purpose of Zhong Lin refining the Jiazi Pill is to get spirit stones and make money, which is not shameful!

In just three days, a furnace of Jiazi elixir was freshly produced under the admiring eyes of You Shulan and Jin Yi.

There were no surprises in the middle, it was quite ordinary, but it was also because of this that we can see the high level of Zhong Lin's alchemy skills.

Zhong Lin took out one and kept it, and put the other two into a jade bottle.

"Send it to Senior Sister Yeyu."

"Yes."

Jin Yi respectfully extended his hand to take it, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The more he interacted with Senior Brother Zhong, the more he felt how humble his talent in alchemy was. Now Jin Yi just wanted to serve him for a few more years.

"Zhong Lin, Zhong Lin."

Suddenly, shouts were heard from the void.

"This is……"

Zhong Lin moved his body, took a step, and left the palace directly into the void.

"Yu Shu, are you out of seclusion?"
