Chapter 178 The Commission for Refining Elixirs

After leaving Dianyuan Mountain, Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng both seemed to be somewhat affected.

Xu Ning noticed this and offered to let the two of them accompany him to another place.

Afterwards, they visited several places in Yunying City, and it wasn't until evening that the three of them returned to the Wei residence.

at night.

Inside the villa, Xu Ning lay on a recliner, leisurely gazing up at the night sky.

Next to the recliner was a small wooden table, which was covered with fruit.

Xu Ning originally had maids serving him, but he sent them away.

"Young friend Xu Ning!"

Just then, the voice of Wei Xingfeng, the head of the Wei family, came.

Xu Ning quickly stood up, and then Wei Xingfeng strode in.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night."

Wei Xingfeng first expressed his apologies.

"It's alright."

Xu Ning waved his hand: "What business does Patriarch Wei have with me?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xingfeng smiled and said, "We'll talk about that later. Before that, I need to thank you properly."

"My family's patriarch used his own blood to break the seal."

Wei Xingfeng's expression was beaming: "After observing that seal, he gained great insights and has now entered seclusion. It may not be long before he breaks through to the eighth level of the Void Realm True Intent Realm."

"That's great news, congratulations!"

Xu Ning also clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't given the Dao Seal to my Wei family, we might not have produced a single True Intent Realm Martial Master even after several decades."

Wei Xingfeng's tone was full of relief.

"By the way, young friend Xu Ning, I've come here on someone else's behalf."

Wei Xingfeng paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"Oh? Who entrusted you with this? And what is it for?"

Xu Ning tucked his sleeves in and asked.

"I've been asked by Zhou Weichen to help me refine a kind of elixir."

Wei Xingfeng explained, "This Zhou Weichen is an elder of the Zhou family in Yunying City. He is a True Intent Realm Martial Master and I have a good personal relationship with him."

"Just today, he approached me and asked if the Wei family had contacted a skilled alchemist. It's because the pills you entrusted to us to sell recently, young friend Xu Ning, are of excellent quality and efficacy. After Zhou Weichen discovered this, he contacted me."

"Because we know each other well, we didn't hide anything and told him that we had indeed met a powerful alchemist. After he found out, he wanted to entrust you with the task of refining a kind of elixir for him."

As Wei Xingfeng spoke, he observed Xu Ning's expression, afraid that Xu Ning would show any dissatisfaction.

However, Xu Ning's expression remained unchanged.

"What kind of elixir does he want to refine?"

Xu Ning asked.

He didn't mind his identity as an alchemist being exposed; with his current strength, there was no need for him to deliberately hide anything.

"He wanted to refine a kind of elixir called Tongyi Dan."

Wei Xingfeng replied.

"The Mind-Clearing Pill..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning nodded silently.

This Tongyi Pill is a kind of pill that helps with advancement. It is mainly used to break through the Tongyin Realm, and it also has some effect on breaking through the Zhenyi Realm.

All pills that aid in advancement are extremely difficult to refine, and the raw materials are also relatively hard to obtain.

Take the Tongyi Pill as an example. An average alchemist is not qualified to refine it, and even a high-level alchemist has a success rate of less than 30%.

Even for Xu Ning, whose Life-Giving Elixir Scripture has now been upgraded to the seventh level, the success rate of refining it with the help of the Dao Soldier Elixir Furnace is only about 50%.

"So, young friend Xu Ning, could you help refine this Tongyi Pill?"

Wei Xingfeng asked tentatively.

"It can be refined, but how many portions of raw materials can he provide?"

Xu Ning thought for a moment, then asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xingfeng frowned slightly: "Zhou Weichen didn't tell me this. He said that if you're willing, he'll bring the raw materials to see you in person."

"I see..."

Xu Ning responded, "Then let him come to see me tomorrow."

This week, Wei Chen is Wei Xingfeng's friend, so Xu Ning naturally doesn't mind helping him out.

"Then thank you very much, young friend Xu Ning!"

Wei Xingfeng smiled when he saw Xu Ning agree.

Wei Xingfeng knew very well that Xu Ning only agreed to help Zhou Weichen refine pills because of him.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now. I'll bring Zhou Weichen over tomorrow."

After saying this, Wei Xingfeng left Xu Ning's villa.

……

the next morning.

Wei Xingfeng brought Zhou Weichen with him.

Zhou Weichen is a middle-aged man nearing fifty, and he looks very refined.

"Brother Zhou, this is Xu Ning, the alchemist who refined those high-quality pills before."

Wei Xingfeng first introduced Xu Ning, and then introduced Zhou Weichen to Xu Ning.

"Such a young alchemist?"

Zhou Weichen was clearly surprised when he saw Xu Ning.

Although Void Realm Martial Masters can slow down the aging process, someone like Xu Ning certainly can't be older than thirty.

He had assumed that alchemists capable of refining extremely high-quality pills would be quite old, but he was surprised to find that they were still young.

It wasn't that Zhou Weichen didn't trust young people, but rather that refining pills required not only comprehension but also a great deal of experience.

Such experience requires time and years to accumulate and mature.

"Senior Zhou."

Xu Ning also took the initiative to greet him.

This week, Wei Chen and Wei Xingfeng are friends, and Wei Chen is much older than me, so it's reasonable for me to call him a senior.

"Greetings, young friend Xu Ning."

Although surprised by Xu Ning's age, Zhou Weichen still greeted her politely.

He did not look down on Xu Ning because of his youth; on the contrary, he valued Xu Ning even more.

At such a young age, she was able to refine extremely high-quality pills. With this ability, she could easily obtain the position of guest elder even if she entered the Yuansheng Sect.

"This young friend Xu Ning not only possesses extremely high skill in refining pills, but his martial arts cultivation also seems unfathomable..."

After vaguely sensing Xu Ning's strength, Zhou Weichen pondered to himself.

He was a martial artist at the Tongyin realm and could roughly sense that Xu Ning's strength was above the Tongyin realm.

"Even the Origin Sect couldn't cultivate a young person like this..."

Zhou Weichen muttered to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, he must come from one of those powerful states with a strong martial arts tradition. He traveled here and that's how he became acquainted with the Wei family..."

"Senior Zhou, I heard from Patriarch Wei that you intend to refine the Mind-Clearing Pill?"

Xu Ning took the initiative to ask.

"good."

Seeing that Xu Ning had readily stated his purpose, Zhou Weichen quickly said, "My son has quite a talent; at the age of thirty-two, he had already advanced to the sixth level of the Void Realm, the Attribute Form Realm..."

When he said this, Zhou Weichen's tone carried a hint of pride, which he himself didn't even realize.

His son is also a core elite in the Zhou family and has a very high probability of becoming the next head of the Zhou family.

"However, seven years have passed, and he is approaching forty, but there is still no sign of him breaking through to the Tongyin Realm..."

Zhou Weichen's tone was filled with concern for his son: "Recently, I've noticed that his inability to break through to the Tongyin Realm is starting to affect his state of mind, which worries me. So, I'm hoping to obtain a Tongyi Pill to help him break through to the Tongyin Realm."

"However, the Tongyi Pill is an extremely precious elixir. I have searched everywhere but have not been able to find it for sale. I have no choice but to gather the materials myself and find an alchemist to refine it."

"However, after searching for a large number of alchemists, I found that their refining skills were all relatively ordinary, and their success rate was generally less than 30%. I only have three sets of raw materials, which is really not enough to withstand the loss."

Zhou Weichen continued, "After searching for a while, I still couldn't find a suitable alchemist and was even considering giving up. Until a few days ago, I saw the pills you refined, young friend Xu Ning, and was amazed by their quality. That's why I kept searching and finally found you here."

"I would be grateful if you, young friend Xu Ning, could lend me your assistance. You may name your price; I have no objection."

Zhou Weichen's attitude was very sincere.

"You and Patriarch Wei are friends, so I will help you refine the pills without any payment."

Xu Ning waved his hand.

For others, refining elixirs is a time-consuming and laborious process.

But for Xu Ning, this was not a difficult task.

"That won't do."

Zhou Weichen quickly replied, "How could we not pay you?"

"Alright..."

Seeing this, Wei Xingfeng said, "Give the raw materials to young friend Xu Ning first, and let him finish refining the pills before you bring up the matter of payment."

"OK."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weichen stopped arguing and took out three portions of the materials for the Tongyi Pill, handing them to Xu Ning.

After receiving the item, Xu Ning did not immediately return to his room to refine it. Instead, he said, "Senior Zhou, there are some things I need to say beforehand."

"With my personal skill level, the success rate of refining the Tongyi Pill is around 50%. But even so, I can't guarantee that I can definitely refine one Tongyi Pill. After all, there are many uncontrollable details in refining pills."

"It's alright."

Zhou Weichen said, "Young friend Xu Ning, you don't need to worry. Even if we fail completely, it's still on my shoulders."

"it is good."

Seeing this, Xu Ning didn't linger any longer and turned to enter the room.

"Young friend Xu Ning, are you inside refining pills?"

Seeing Xu Ning return to his room, Zhou Weichen asked with some surprise, "Doesn't he need to go to the alchemy room or a quiet secret chamber?"

"Young friend Xu Ning's level is different from those of ordinary alchemists. He has long been able to achieve a clear mind and not be disturbed by the outside world."

Wei Xingfeng explained.

Previously, when Xu Ning was refining pills, Wei Xingfeng had prepared a secret room for him, but Xu Ning declined, telling Wei Xingfeng that he was refining pills and did not care about the surrounding situation.

"Truly impressive."

Zhou Weichen smiled, extremely confident that Xu Ning would be able to successfully refine the Tongyi Pill.

inside the room.

Xu Ning took out the Daoist alchemy furnace.

"Refining a Tongyi Pill from three ingredients is not difficult for me..."

Xu Ning was also quite relaxed.

He opened the alchemy furnace and threw in one of the ingredients for the Tongyi Pill.

In the past, Xu Ning would put several or even a dozen portions of materials into the alchemy furnace together to refine them, which would be more efficient.

However, in order to increase the success rate, Xu Ning decided to do it one at a time.
