The First Venerable of All Paths

"puff!"

These words almost made Su Yang so angry that he vomited blood.

He was injured by Fang Xuan, lost all face, and his blood and qi were churning inside his body.

Now, being humiliated by Lan Meier like this is adding insult to injury, even more unbearable than being slapped a few times.

"Very well, I'll remember this humiliation!"

Su Yang took a deep breath and realized that Tianbaolou was more powerful than he had imagined, and was not something the Su family could afford to offend.

But if we can't afford to offend Tianbaolou, can't we at least afford to offend a mere brat?

Su Yang glared at Fang Xuan with a sinister look and said hatefully, "Kid, you just wait, this isn't over!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Su Yang dragged his heavy body and limped out of the alchemy hall.

"thank you."

As soon as Su Yang left, the maid in green immediately expressed her gratitude to Fang Xuan.

"No need, I think that guy is pretty annoying too."

Fang Xuan smiled calmly.

He was telling the truth.

The grudges between him and Su Qingyao cannot be explained in just a few words.

Su Yang had bullied and humiliated him before, so today he would collect some interest first.

If Fang Xuan is given the opportunity, he will take Su Yang's life immediately!

But to those who were paying attention, it seemed that Fang Xuan was deliberately saying it for Lan Meier to hear.

The purpose, of course, was to obtain a spot in alchemy.

"Let's give this third spot to this young man."

Master Ming, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, looked at Fang Xuan and said, "I hope no one has any objections?"

"No objection, no objection."

Everyone waved their hands repeatedly.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Fang Xuan dared to attack Su Yang shows that his courage far surpasses theirs.

But some people looked on with pity.

Today, he seemed to have gotten his revenge, but he angered Su Yang because of it.

Offending the Su family won't end well.

From now on, it will be difficult to move an inch in Qingyang County.

It's obvious to anyone that Fang Xuan will face endless revenge from Su Yang.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Ming and everyone else."

Fang Xuan said, "I am not here today to ask for pills."

Ok?

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Fang Xuan.

Master Ming's gaze suddenly became meaningful.

"I wonder what your request is, little brother?"

Lan Meier smiled and said, "Considering you just defended my Tianbao Tower maid, as long as it's not too excessive, I can agree to your request."

Hearing these tantalizing and seductive words, many people felt as if their bones had lightened and their legs had gone weak.

This beautiful manager of Tianbao Tower is truly a rare beauty.

You've misunderstood.

Fang Xuan said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I just want to use your alchemy room for a moment, I have no other requests."

Borrowing the alchemy room of Tianbao Tower?

What does that mean?

"You're going to refine the pills yourself?"

Master Ming, however, realized something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He said, "Could it be that you are also an alchemist?"

Alchemist?

How is that possible!

Everyone was shocked.

They were well aware of just how rare and precious alchemists were.

In the entire Qingyang County, the number of alchemists is less than a handful.

Even a first-grade alchemist is a guest of honor in countless families and powerful forces.

How old does Fang Xuan look?

Fifteen years old?

Still sixteen?

This was the first time they had ever seen such a young alchemist.

For a moment, everyone looked at Fang Xuan with an ambiguous expression.

This includes Master Ming and Lan Meier.

"Master Ming thinks too highly of me."

Fang Xuan waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm just borrowing the Earth Core Fire Vein from the alchemist's alchemy to concoct some ordinary medicinal liquids."

That's it!

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked enlightened.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Some special medicinal solutions do indeed require the use of the Earth's core fire veins for preparation to achieve their maximum effect.

This medicinal liquid is naturally not as effective as elixirs, but it still requires a special prescription.

"I wonder what kind of medicinal liquid you wish to prepare, young friend?"

Master Ming said, "If you don't mind, how about I personally prepare the elixir for you after I finish refining it?"

"I thank Master Ming in advance."

Fang Xuan feigned fear and said, "It's just a simple healing potion; how could I dare trouble Master Ming to do it?"

"If that's the case, then so be it."

Master Ming nodded, no longer taking the matter to heart, and with the three selected spots, turned and walked into an alchemy room.

"Alright, the three of you wait here. The rest of you can come back tomorrow."

Lan Meier waved her hand, sending away those who hadn't been chosen.

She looked at Fang Xuan and said, "Since little brother wants to prepare medicinal liquid, then this alchemy room is the perfect place. It has everything you need."

Thank you.

Fang Xuan thanked her and followed Lan Meier's finger to the alchemy room, then went inside.

After the stone door to the alchemy room was closed, Lan Meier looked at the maid in green.

"Tell me what this guest said and did today."

Lan Meier said indifferently, "Remember, don't overlook any detail."

"yes!"

The maid in green looked nervous and quickly told Lan Meier about her encounter with Fang Xuan in detail, not daring to hide anything.

"The Qi and Blood Pill is a medicine that strengthens Qi and blood, and is suitable for martial artists in the Blood Creation Realm."

After the maid in green finished speaking, Lan Meier frowned and said, "The Yuanxin Pill is mild in nature and has the effect of regulating the body and mind and repairing the meridians. It is a good healing pill."

"As for this Dragon Bone Pill..."

Lan Meier looked at the tightly closed door of the alchemy room, and the corners of her mouth curled up again: "Either this kid is talking nonsense, or it really is just an ordinary medicinal liquid."

"what?"

The maid in green looked on in surprise.

Nonsense?

No wonder she'd never heard of it.

Fang Xuan, one of the alchemists, had a solemn expression.

"The lineage of the Dan Ding Empress is ancient, profound, and unfathomable; much of it has even been lost."

Fang Xuan said in a deep voice, "It seems that we must be extra careful when buying pills or medicinal herbs in the future, otherwise we may get into trouble if someone notices something amiss."

He had assumed that the Dragon Bone Pill was just a first-grade pill and should be readily available everywhere.

However, even the Tianbao Tower does not have this kind of pill, which proves that the Dragon Bone Pill is not common, and may even be an extremely rare and top-grade pill.

Even if someone has heard of this elixir, no one can refine it because the recipe has been lost.

That's why he just changed his story and said that he was preparing medicinal liquids, not refining elixirs.

Of course, in some respects, Dragon Bone Pill is indeed a special medicinal liquid.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Fang Xuan began to examine the alchemy room.

The alchemy room wasn't large, with an ordinary stove against the wall.

In the center of the stove is a boiler, designed to resemble an alchemy furnace.

There is a groove next to it. As long as you put in the elemental stone, you can activate the underground fire vein. After being transformed by a special magic array, it will form a controllable flame for alchemy.

After all, an alchemist cannot refine pills independently before condensing their own alchemical fire.

It is necessary to rely on the fire veins in the earth's core.

However, if one subdues the Heavenly Fire Seed, one can refine pills on their own without condensing the Pill Fire.

Of course, these things are too far away for Fang Xuan right now.

Let's refine the Dragon Bone Pill first.

Fang Xuan took out a Yuan Stone from his pocket, put it into the groove on the stove, and infused it with Qi and blood.

"Click click click!"

The sound of mechanisms rang out from inside the stove.

A faint trace of elemental energy emanated from the elemental stone.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xuan sensed that the air in the entire alchemy room had become scorching hot, and the heat was getting stronger and stronger.

"puff!"

Before long, a pale yellow flame emerged from the alchemy furnace.

The flames were not initially very hot, but they continued to burn, preheating the alchemy furnace.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Xuan closed his eyes and focused his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness, where golden characters flowed continuously.

Countless alchemy techniques, formulas, control of heat, and proportions of medicinal liquids flashed through his mind.

Fang Xuan focused his mind and instantly eliminated all irrelevant information, leaving only the complete refining method of the Dragon Bone Pill, which is also known as the Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid.

"Dragon Bone Pill, also known as Dragon Bone Elixir, is a superior body-refining elixir. It uses Dragon Bone Grass as the main ingredient, supplemented by Earth Dragon Root and Thorn Heart, and is tempered by the Earth Core Fire Vein through eighty-one cycles to remove impurities and extract its essence, condensing it into a liquid..."

A complete refining method was deeply imprinted in Fang Xuan's mind, as if he had practiced it thousands of times and knew it by heart.

Just then, the alchemy furnace finished preheating, and the temperature inside the furnace reached its optimal level.

Fang Xuan opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and no longer hesitated.

With a flick of his wrist, a pale blue herb with leaves resembling dragon scales appeared in his palm.

Dragon bone grass.

With a flick of his finger, the dragon bone grass fell precisely into the alchemy furnace.

Fang Xuan focused his mind and carefully controlled a wisp of his blood energy to envelop the dragon bone grass, slowly nurturing and refining it with the earth's core fire, removing impurities and dregs.

Masterful skill, unhurried and composed.

Once the impurities in the dragon bone grass had been mostly refined and the medicinal liquid had gradually concentrated, Fang Xuan raised his hand again and threw the prepared earth dragon root into the furnace.

Next comes the Heart of Thorns.

The three main ingredients are placed into the furnace in sequence, and refined layer by layer and purified step by step according to the order and temperature recorded in the "Nine Revolutions Elixir Record".

Time passes little by little.

Inside the alchemy furnace, the medicinal herbs were continuously fused and refined, and the impurities were burned away little by little, leaving only a ball of incomparably pure medicinal liquid, which slowly rotated in the furnace fire.

About half an hour later.

The flames inside the alchemy furnace gradually subsided, leaving only a ball of viscous, black liquid, about the size of an infant's fist, quietly suspended at the bottom of the furnace.

The liquid looked unremarkable and even emitted a faint, pungent, and bitter smell.

It lacked the delicate fragrance that elixirs should have, and was no different from ordinary herbal dregs found on the street.

But the moment Fang Xuan saw the liquid, his eyes suddenly flashed with an intensely hot light, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

Become!

This is Dragon Bone Elixir!

This seemingly insignificant, even somewhat ugly, dark liquid is a treasure for body refinement that countless cultivators dream of!

With it, Fang Xuan was able to save a lot of time and improve his cultivation level.

The Dragon Bone Elixir was carefully poured into a medicine bottle, leaving not a drop.

Looking at the smooth alchemy furnace, Fang Xuan was still not at ease, so he casually took out three kinds of medicinal herbs, refined them into medicinal liquid, and applied it to the inside of the furnace.

Fortunately, when buying medicinal herbs earlier, Fang Xuan had been careful and deliberately bought several unrelated herbs.

This comes in handy right now.

After doing all this, Fang Xuan left the alchemy room satisfied.
