A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

At this moment, Su Qingyuan bit her lip slightly, her feet ten inches off the ground, leaning against the wall.

They locked eyes.

The air condensed.

Holy crap!

Luo Fan was startled and quickly jumped away!

"Senior sister! I didn't mean to! I really didn't mean to!"

Luo Fan quickly explained, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The stone statues didn't care about their embarrassment; the giant sword slashed down again.

The two disregarded everything else and dodged to the left and right!

boom!!!

The giant sword slammed into the wall, creating a huge crater!

"Use the Phoenix Cry Seven-Stringed Zither!"

Su Qingyuan shouted.

Luo Fan realized what was happening and quickly took out the Phoenix Cry Seven-Stringed Zither, then sat down cross-legged.

Fingers pluck the strings.

Clang—!!

The sound of the zither rang out, but the stone statue did not react at all, and continued to swing its sword!

Luo Fan dodged in a sorry state.

He then realized that this thing had no ears and no self-awareness, and the music had no effect on it!

The two were chased all over the hall by the stone statue, looking utterly disheveled.

The stone statues are too hard to break, and their attacks are too fierce, making it difficult to dodge.

Luo Fan dodged while pondering.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. This stone statue belongs to the element of earth! Wood overcomes earth!

"Senior sister, use wood-attribute spiritual power to control its movements!"

Su Qingyuan realized what was happening.

She made a mark with her fingertips, and several thick green vines sprouted from the ground!

In an instant, it wrapped around the statue's legs, waist, and arms!

The stone statue froze, its power terrifying, causing the green vines to tremble violently, threatening to shatter at any moment!

"Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer!"

Su Qingyuan's face flushed red; trapping such a large creature was far too much for her!

"Just a moment, I'm coming!"

Luo Fan took a deep breath, and the five elements of spiritual energy within his body circulated wildly!

Gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow light flowed around him!

He gripped the sword with both hands, pouring all his strength, all his will, and all his resolve into this single strike!

"The five elements revolve, the sharpness of wood, slash!"

Sword drawn!

The five-colored sword light transformed into a streak of light!

This sword strike uses wood to overcome earth as its core, supplemented by metal, water, and fire, maximizing the power of restraint!

The sword light struck the stone statue!

laugh--! ! !

This time, it won't be a matter of sparks flying!

Instead, the stone statue's hard body was cleaved open by a single sword strike, and cracks spread from the sword mark!

Click!

Click, click!

boom!!!

The stone statue collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of rubble!

Dust flew everywhere.

Luo Fan knelt on one knee, panting heavily, until a small, fair hand reached out to him.

He looked up, and the two exchanged a glance.

all laughed.

After taking a short break, Luo Fan walked to the pile of rubble, where there was a clear square mark.

He cleared away the rubble and found the entrance to a downward passage with stone steps leading into the darkness.

"Is there something else down there?"

Su Qingyuan walked over.

"Let's go take a look."

Luo Fan went down the stone steps first, followed closely by Su Qingyuan.

The passage wasn't long; it ended quickly.

Below is a stone chamber, slightly smaller than the treasure vault above, but even more rustic.

There were no spirit stones, no elixirs, and no weapons in the stone chamber.

There are only rows of ancient stone frames.

The stone shelf was covered with countless jade slips, animal skin scrolls, and bronze books.

"Is this the cultivation manual room?"

Luo Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, picked up a jade slip, and probed it with his divine sense.

"A high-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique, the Azure Wave Technique."

He picked up another one.

"Low-grade Earth-rank sword technique, Splitting Light and Shadow Sword."

"Mid-grade Earth-rank secret technique, Blood Burning Escape."

A dazzling array of goods, with a wide variety of types.

The cultivation methods, techniques, secret arts, elixirs, and formations from the Qi Refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage...

It covers almost all aspects of cultivation and immortality.

Although most of them are between the Profound and Earth ranks, with very few at the Heaven rank, their quantity and quality are enough to support the heritage of a medium-sized sect!

Luo Fan's heart suddenly raced; he loved the feeling of making a fortune quietly.

These things may not be as directly beneficial to personal cultivation as top-tier pills and spiritual weapons.

But for a sect, it is a true priceless treasure, the foundation of its inheritance!

He quickly browsed through it.

On a separate jade platform at the deepest part of the stone chamber, a purple-gold jade slip was found.

The jade slip was enveloped in a faint halo, making it stand out from the crowd.

Luo Fan carefully picked it up and probed it with his divine sense.

boom!

A flood of information rushed into my mind.

Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning Technique

—A top-grade Heavenly Rank Thunder Technique!

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple, transformed into divine thunder, its majestic heavenly power drawn forth by the sword!"

The opening sixteen characters exude a vast and incomparably powerful divine might!

This is an extremely domineering lightning-attribute sword technique.

Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, one can draw upon the thunder of the heavens for their own use, unleashing earth-shattering power.

Luo Fan was breathing rapidly; this was the highest-grade cultivation technique he had ever obtained!

Although the Five Elements Alchemy Classic is profound and infinitely mysterious, it leans more towards gentleness and lacks offensive methods.

Other offensive spells are either limited by rank or cannot be used easily.

This Nine Heavens Lightning Technique perfectly compensates for his weakness in direct offensive and killing techniques!

It's nothing more than consuming spiritual energy, and that's what he's least afraid of.

Anyway, the Great Furnace acts as his power bank, replenishing his energy whenever he needs it.

As long as his meridians can hold up, he can unleash his full power indefinitely before reaching his limit.

"Senior sister, I've found something great!"

Luo Fan said excitedly.

"A top-grade Heavenly Rank lightning technique, you certainly have a good opportunity."

Su Qingyuan walked over, took the jade slip, and sensed it briefly. She was also slightly moved.

This technique is powerful and domineering, just right for you. This place is relatively safe, so you can start studying it first.

Luo Fan immediately sat down cross-legged, holding the jade slip in his hand, and focused his mind.

Time passed little by little.

As he comprehended the mystery, tiny electric snakes faintly slithered around his body, and his hair moved on its own even without wind.

A low rumble of thunder echoed within him.

Su Qingyuan stood guard by his side, while also browsing other ancient texts.

I am trying to select some cultivation methods suitable for the reconstruction of the Five Elements Alchemy School.

I don't know how much time passed.

Luo Fan opened his eyes, and a flash of purple lightning appeared in them.

He stood up, pointed his fingers like a sword, and casually pointed to the side.

Stab it!

A purple arc of electricity, as thick as a hair, shot out from his fingertips.

Instantly, a small, charred hole was left in the stone wall.

"It's done! Although it's only a preliminary step, managing to ignite a tiny spark of lightning, I've at least entered the gate!"

Luo Fan was overjoyed; with this technique, his combat power would reach a new level.

"And these too, put them all away."

Su Qingyuan smiled and then pointed to the room full of books.

Looking at the astonished Luo Fan, she smiled and said, "Rebuilding the sect requires them."

You will be the sect leader in the future.

"Why can't such rough work as fighting be done by delicate women like me?"

"..."

That sounds like a lot of sense.

But who is the true sect leader? This woman clearly intends to be a hands-off manager.

We promised him that we would only let him hold the title of sect leader, and he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.

Ugh!

You really can't trust what women say, especially beautiful women.

If Su Qingyuan could hear his voice, she would definitely step on the spiritual herbs and refine them into pills.

They stuffed every single grain into his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Fan stored all the books on the stone shelf into his storage ring.

At this moment, Su Qingyuan saw Luo Fan sitting cross-legged, having taken off his upper body clothes.

"What...do you want to do?!"

Su Qingyuan's pretty face flushed slightly, her eyes reflecting the contours of Luo Fan's muscles.

"Alchemy."

"Alchemy?"

Su Qingyuan was slightly taken aback.

Luo Fan had taken out all the spiritual herbs for refining the Rejuvenation Pill and laid them out in front of him one by one.

After all, there are countless powerful enemies waiting for them to go out.

Why not refine the Rejuvenation Pill before leaving?

Perhaps those people will eventually lose patience and leave on their own.

"The Rejuvenation Pill is a top-grade Earth-rank pill, extremely difficult to refine, with a very high failure rate."

She added, "With your current cultivation level, are you sure... you can do it?"

Full of doubts.

Luo Fan only rolled his eyes at her.

With a thought, an ancient furnace flew out from between his eyebrows.

The Great Dao Furnace radiated a sacred light before him, seemingly carrying the aura of the Great Dao's origin.

Su Qingyuan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. With her keen eye, she could naturally tell that this furnace was extraordinary.

However, Luo Fan took out and used this fundamental treasure right in front of her without any hesitation.

He truly regarded me as the person he trusted most.

A faint, captivating smile unconsciously curved the corners of Su Qingyuan's lips beneath her veil.

Luo Fan opened the furnace, concentrating intently throughout the entire process, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The main ingredient is precious; each pill is obtained through great effort.

The five elements' spiritual power fueled the furnace, causing flames to rise and the aroma of medicine to fill the air.

The first time, four pills were successfully formed, each of the middle grade of the Earth rank.

The second time, two pills were formed, both of medium-grade Earth rank.

The third time, three pills were formed, each of the middle grade of the Earth rank.

The fourth time, only one left, a mid-grade Earth rank.

Su Qingyuan watched the whole thing without saying a word; this outcome was within her expectations.

The fact that Luo Fan could refine the Rejuvenation Pill into a mid-grade Earth-level pill already demonstrates his extraordinary talent.

At least, it's not a useless pill; it's a high-grade Earth-rank spiritual pill.

"That's fine."

She said softly, "Although a mid-grade Earth Rank is not as good as a top-grade one, given time, we can still wake that girl up."

Luo Fan stared at the ten pills in silence for a moment, then did something that left Su Qingyuan speechless.

He threw all those pills into the Great Dao Furnace and refined them once more!

Su Qingyuan held her breath, unable to believe that Luo Fan would dare to do such a thing!

This is absolutely insane!

Time slipped away amidst the torment.

A stick of incense.

Two incense sticks.

Three sticks of incense.

Then the furnace shook, and two golden beams flew out from it!

Luo Fan reached out and caught two pills the size of longan fruits, which lay in his palm.

Mysterious patterns flowed across the surface of the pill, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

Earth-rank top-grade item!

Rejuvenating Elixir!

Su Qingyuan was dumbfounded, staring at Luo Fan in disbelief.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Ten mid-grade pills, fused and refined, actually produced two top-grade pills?!

What kind of operation is this?!

What kind of monster is this?!

Luo Fan put away the pills, grinned, and said, "It proves that a man can't say no."

"..."

Luo Fan's words silenced Su Qingyuan.
