Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 228 It’s all here
Above the sky, the clouds move slowly.

On the huge jade platform, for a moment, only Wei Xingyou was talking.

"Two- and three-patterned pills aren't much better. While they have some efficacy, they also contain a lot of impurities that can't be removed... Generally speaking, these kinds of pills aren't traded, but many independent cultivators are financially limited, so they can only settle for second best."

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded slowly, feeling quite touched.

For most casual cultivators, having something useful is good enough. Who would bother to think about the consequences and consider the possibility of elixir poison...

Wei Xingyou continued, "Four-, five-, and even six-patterned pills can already be considered normal elixirs. There are also some fine products among them that are very effective and very expensive, which really tests the ability of the alchemist."

"As for the Seven-Veined and Eight-Veined Pills, their difficulty in refining has skyrocketed, but their efficacy has also greatly increased, often giving people unexpected surprises... Pills like these are rarely found in ordinary markets, and only occasionally appear at large-scale auctions."

After saying that, Wei Xingyou's eyes flashed, and he turned to Chen Mu and chuckled, "Master Chu, the number one alchemist in our sect, has mastered an eight-patterned level of a first-level cultivation elixir."

"I once came into close contact with it... The spiritual charm was natural and the effect was extremely strong. Just one pill allowed a disciple at the eighth level of Qi Condensation to break through to the ninth level..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head gently, and a hint of longing flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Eight-patterned level?" Chen Mu's heart moved, and he asked, "Master Chu is a second-level alchemist who has studied alchemy for nearly a hundred years. Can even he only master the eight-patterned level of a first-level elixir?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Xingyou came back to his senses and immediately laughed bitterly a few times and said, "Junior Brother Chen, don't underestimate the difficulty. A pill with eight patterns is already a realm that many alchemists cannot reach in their entire lives."

"Even I, who always pride myself on my prowess, can only deduce my best Qi-boosting pills, which barely reach the lower-grade first level, to the eighth-level..."

"Oh?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "So, Senior Brother Wei is truly gifted!"

Asking such questions also shows that Chen Mu knows very little about alchemy.

But this is nothing to say. After all, God has mercy on him. He is usually busy with cultivation and has no time to practice alchemy. How could he easily practice the art of alchemy?

"Brother Wei, what about the last nine levels?"

After the two sighed for a moment, Chen Mu found the right time to ask softly.

Wei Xingyou shook his head and chuckled, his gaze reaching out into the distance as he sighed, "Nine-Patterned Pill... I know very little about it. I only know it's a realm of alchemy that transcends the constraints of traditional elixirs... Anyway, I've never seen one."

"I see..." Chen Mu nodded slightly, his mind gradually becoming distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.

In fact, if one considers this Nine-Patterned Pill from his perspective, the shock he feels is not that great, far less than the reaction of Wei Xingyou, who already has some understanding of the Dao of Alchemy...

After a long time, a breeze blew in his face, bringing Wei Xingyou back to his senses.

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face became more and more joyful. He looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him as if he had some feeling.

The next moment, he suddenly took a light step forward, as if he couldn't help but use all his magic power to hit a bulge in the center of it.

"Click..."

An extremely slight sound broke the tranquility of this world.

"Brother Wei..."

Chen Mu noticed the change and quickly reminded him softly.

But Wei Xingyou didn't know whether he turned a deaf ear or didn't notice it at all, and continued to send his magic power towards the bulge as usual.

Seeing this, Chen Mu frowned slightly, his heart suddenly alert. After a pause, he was about to ask Wei Xingyou again, but was stopped by a voice in his sea of ​​consciousness. "At noon, the auspicious hour, the assessment begins. If the inner elixir has seven lines in thirty days, you can become a Dan Ding Tianmen disciple. If it has eight lines, you can become a True Disciple... If it has nine lines, you can become a Succession Disciple..."

The sound of vicissitudes of life lingered for a long time, causing Chen Mu to look at a furnace not far ahead as if he had some feeling, as if that was the place where he would be tested.

"The test from thousands of years ago has been passed down to this day... but I don't know anything..."

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mu shook his head and laughed, feeling a little regretful and melancholy in his heart.

Perhaps noticing his predicament, Wei Xingyou, who was already preparing to try, suddenly came over and said as he walked, "Junior Brother Chen, this opportunity may be the most precious... Since we are both destined to be here, why not give it a try."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Xingyou lightly patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a jade disc and handed it to Chen Mu.

"Junior Brother Chen, this is the recipe for a first-grade, low-grade Qi-boosting pill. It also contains my insights and many details. Please study it first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"

With the opportunity in front of him, he was able to act this way, and he was also grateful for Chen Mu's help...

"A thirty-day period, that is, one month..."

Chen Mu took the jade disc, pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and smiled, "In that case, Junior Brother, I would like to thank you very much!"

Wei Xingyou was right. Now that he was here, how could he just turn around and leave without trying it?

Moreover, the Qi-boosting pills could be said to be the simplest entry-level elixir, not to mention that he had the experience of reaching the eighth level...

Under such conditions, anyone would make the same choice.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Wei Xingyou smiled and turned away impatiently.

Now that he had made up his mind, Chen Mu did not waste any more time. He immediately placed the jade disc between his eyebrows and began to comprehend the mystery within.

In an instant, thousands of neatly arranged characters appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, and he carefully comprehended them.

"It's just a first-level Qi-boosting pill, but it has so many tricks..."

Often, one herb has dozens of variations, and if you make a mistake at one step, all will be lost.

Fortunately, these things are just the basics. With his current memory ability, it is more than enough to sort out these dozens of changes.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mu's tired eyes turned slightly, and he immediately put the jade disc away.

"The first step in alchemy is to cleanse the herbs..."

After careful reflection, he had a preliminary understanding of the steps for refining Qi-replenishing pills.

It goes without saying that lighting the fire and warming the furnace is the first real step, which is to wash and purify all the herbs needed!

After thinking it through, Chen Mu frowned slightly, used his magic power to lightly tap the alchemy furnace in front of him, and suddenly with a "whoosh" sound, the alchemy furnace underneath began to burn without fire.

At the same time, he followed the instructions given by Vicissitudes of Life and engraved the names of the required herbs on the magic circle next to him.

After just two breaths, several herbs of various shapes appeared out of thin air on the magic circle, and the fragrance was overwhelming...

　The second update will be a little later, please don't wait~
　　Also, I just saw that Chapter 225 was typed as Chapter 255 by me... I just tried to modify it, but it seems that I can't change it back for a while, so I'm going to tell everyone here that it doesn't look good, sorry...
