Smelling the fragrant aroma of the pills, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately identified what kind of pills were being refined in each cauldron—a result of his years of experience.
At the center of this largest red medicine cauldron, ten black medicine cauldrons, twice the size of the red ones, stood in the center.
Each of the ten large black medicine cauldrons is carved with a Taotie, exuding a primordial aura that seems capable of devouring the surrounding space and captivating the mind.
Just as his mind was captivated, Xiao Xuanyuan's powerful soul perception immediately reacted and decisively severed the connection. He regained his senses, but that wisp of soul perception was sucked into the mouth of the gluttonous beast with its mouth wide open on the surface of the large black cauldron nearby!
"What kind of furnace is this? It actually has such soul-snatching power?!" Xiao Xuanyuan was somewhat surprised. This time, he focused his mind and looked at the mouth of the gluttonous beast that seemed to be constantly devouring the world. Although he could still feel the suction force that kept rushing towards him, it was difficult to pull his mind away.
Immovable, as steady as a rock.
"Hmm, is this the Great Rejuvenation Pill?!" Suddenly, Xiao Xuanyuan exclaimed in surprise, following the fragrance of the pill, his gaze fixed on a large black medicine cauldron.
The Great Rejuvenation Pill, as its name suggests, is a pill that repairs the soul and spiritual power. It is a top-tier pill of the fifth grade. Ordinary alchemists, even veteran alchemists with extremely rich experience, find it extremely difficult to refine, and the success rate is very low. Even veteran alchemists of the sixth grade have a high failure rate when they try to refine this pill.
Therefore, it is usually a rare sight to see one, but unexpectedly, he saw it right here on the first floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion. Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed and gradually approached the large black medicine cauldron. He carefully released his soul perception to contact the large black medicine cauldron and tried to control the top lid to open.
"Successful attempt?!" Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed and quickly gave a command to the black medicine cauldron. With a "boom" sound, the lid of the cauldron flew open automatically, and a crystal clear, bright oval pill that looked like a pearl flew out of the cauldron, about to shoot out into the black corner of the sky.
Xiao Xuanyuan was startled and became extremely anxious. A streak of soul perception quickly chased after it, grabbed the bright and shiny pill, and a white jade bottle flew out. With a snap, the Great Rejuvenation Pill was put into the bottle.
"Although there's only one, it's not bad. In addition, there are nine black cauldrons here. Since they even have the Great Rejuvenation Pill, they must all be quite good." Xiao Xuanyuan's face showed joy, and he was about to continue to subdue the other nine medicine cauldrons.
"Of the ten Medicine King Cauldrons, only one can be used to collect pills; otherwise, it's a violation of the rules, and you'll be expelled from the Divine Medicine Pavilion!"
Suddenly, a faint voice entered his ears, forcing Xiao Xuanyuan to stop what he was doing.
"Who are you? What right do you have to stop me?" Xiao Xuanyuan was very puzzled. His eyes scanned the dark sky above the main hall, which was like a deep starry sky, searching for the direction from which the voice came. However, the voice was elusive, sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west. He couldn't tell its exact direction at all.
"I am the guardian spirit of the Divine Medicine Pavilion, responsible for watching over and protecting everything in the Divine Medicine Pavilion. You may call me the Tower Venerable!" That ancient and weathered voice rang out again, echoing in Xiao Xuanyuan's ears.
"Why should I believe you?" Xiao Xuanyuan retorted.
"You can try!" The ethereal and ancient voice of the Tower Venerable rang out again. Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately reached for the second black cauldron without saying a word. His soul perception quickly took control of it, but no matter how hard he tried, the lid of the black cauldron remained unmoved.
This large black medicine cauldron contains a top-tier fifth-grade advancement pill, comparable to the Great Rejuvenation Pill, with exceptionally good effects. It's rarely seen, and it would be a real pity not to get your hands on it! But despite thinking this, no matter how hard Xiao Xuanyuan tried to control it with his soul perception, it was as if an invisible hand was pressing down firmly on the lid, not moving an inch.
After trying for a long time, the top cover remained unchanged. This time, Xiao Xuanyuan completely gave up and abandoned his attempt to seize the remaining nine black medicine cauldrons and pills.
"Can we take the pills from those large red medicine cauldrons?" Seeing that he couldn't get the pills from the large black medicine cauldron, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes darted around and he set his sights on the numerous rows of large red medicine cauldrons.
"Ten at most! You won't be able to take any more than that!" Venerable Tower said in a cold, emotionless voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed and quickly darted to the area where the red medicine cauldrons were located, releasing his powerful soul perception to search for the pills refined in these red medicine cauldrons.
"The Earthly Spirit Azure Nether Pill is a third-grade product, specifically designed to feed magical beasts for growth. I don't want this..."
"Petrification Pill, a fourth-grade pill. After consumption, it can temporarily enhance one's resistance to attacks and resist physical damage. However, the reaction is relatively slow, leaving one passively taking hits, making it practically useless. I don't want this one either..."
As Xiao Xuanyuan walked past each of the large red medicine cauldrons, he kept reciting the names of the pills inside each cauldron and their effects, shaking his head repeatedly in dissatisfaction.
To be honest, many of the pills refined in the large red cauldrons here are useless or of little use to him. Even if they are taken out, they just take up space and waste the storage space in the white jade bottle.
Xiao Xuanyuan was initially quite happy, but now he was increasingly disappointed. With this mindset, Xiao Xuanyuan walked faster and faster, his soul perception constantly scanning the pills in the many red medicine cauldrons that passed by.
"Storing Qi Pill..."
"Qi-regulating pill..."
"Minor Rejuvenation Pill..."
As Xiao Xuanyuan's expression gradually darkened, suddenly, an extremely fragrant and rich aroma of medicinal pills wafted into his nostrils.
"A bone and tendon regeneration pill! This is good!" Xiao Xuanyuan's face lit up with joy.
The error-free chapters of "The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo" will continue to be updated.
Chapter 86 Falling into a Pit
Bone and Tendon Regeneration Pill, Potential Activation Pill, Blood and Flesh Regeneration Pill... After quickly browsing through numerous large red medicine cauldrons, Xiao Xuanyuan finally selected ten different types of pills. All of these pills were below the fourth grade, and there were even two top-tier third-grade pills, all of which were relatively rare.
There were also several ancient elixirs made from recipes that had been lost in the Dou Qi Continent and were difficult to refine. Xiao Xuanyuan was quite satisfied with these gains.
"I've made my choice. Now, please tell me how to reach the second floor." Xiao Xuanyuan's expression returned to its usual calm as he scanned his surroundings, searching for the source of the mysterious and unpredictable voice of the Tower Venerable.
"First rule: Anyone who takes the pills from the cauldron must refine new pills in order to have a chance to ascend to the second level of the Divine Medicine Pavilion." The Tower Venerable's cold and indifferent voice, like that of a robot, drifted from an unknown place, but when it reached Xiao Xuanyuan's ears, it left him stunned.
"What?! We have to refine the pills that were taken away again?! How is that even possible?!" Xiao Xuanyuan was immediately overwhelmed and felt an unbearable headache.
Xiao Xuanyuan has been diligently practicing alchemy recently, especially with the guidance of the old alchemist. His alchemy skills have rapidly improved to the level of a fourth-grade alchemist. Even if he can't say that he has a 100% success rate, he can at least produce ordinary fourth-grade pills without much trouble.
Moreover, that's not all. Xiao Xuanyuan has already gained considerable experience in making fifth-grade pills, and his failure rate is not too low. So, if we really evaluate him according to the level of a pharmacist, Xiao Xuanyuan can now be considered a fifth-grade pharmacist.
But now…
Thinking about it, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a headache coming on. A fourth-grade pill, although made from a rare and long-lost formula, he was confident it still had a certain success rate. If it didn't work the first time, he could try twice, even three or four times; there was bound to be a chance of success, right? The problem was, he didn't have any of those precious spiritual herbs stored in his storage ring!
Not only that, but if this is the case for fourth-grade pills, what about fifth-grade pills? With the success rate of pill refining constantly decreasing, and the necessary raw materials and medicinal herbs also unavailable, how can they be refined? Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice!
Without the raw materials and elixirs, everything is in vain!
Xiao Xuanyuan's face darkened. He asked with a gloomy expression, "Can I return all these pills? I don't want them anymore!"
"No." The only answer he received was a cold refusal from the Tower Venerable. "The pills that have already been taken out have lost their treasured properties. The Divine Medicine Pavilion no longer needs them. You must refine them again."
"But I don't have any medicinal materials either, how am I supposed to refine it?! Do you expect me to conjure it up out of thin air for you?!" At this point, Xiao Xuanyuan was extremely angry. What kind of ridiculous rules does the Divine Medicine Pavilion have? They didn't even write them down clearly, and they just tricked him into falling into their trap.
"Don't worry, the Divine Medicine Pavilion will naturally provide you with plenty of spiritual herbs and pill formulas!" As he spoke, a powerful figure with white hair, a solemn face, and an extremely serious and rigid appearance appeared in front of Xiao Xuanyuan.
"Wow, you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, are you trying to scare me to death?" Looking at the Tower Venerable who was floating in the air like a ghost, just like Yao Lao, Xiao Xuanyuan pretended to be frightened and patted his chest lightly.
"Let's begin now. Start by refining the lowest-grade, third-rank pills you've taken." Without another word, the stern and solemn Tower Venerable waved his hand, and on the table next to a large red medicine cauldron where spiritual herbs were placed, appeared a series of bright, sparkling, and precious spiritual herbs, which looked full of spiritual energy.
"Damn, just that direct?" Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes, somewhat helpless.
"The refining time for each type of pill is unlimited, with only ten sets of raw medicinal materials as a standard. If ten sets of medicinal materials are used up before the pill is refined, it is considered a failure: the attempt to enter the pavilion fails, and the person is kicked out of the Divine Medicine Pavilion!" The Tower Venerable's expressionless and extremely serious expression remained completely calm.
"In addition, you also have the records and images left by previous challengers as a source of learning and reference! They are all stored in the Memory Moonstone, and all of them await the challengers to find!" As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful figure of the Tower Venerable disappeared from the hall.
"Hey, I have something to ask you! Why did you disappear so quickly?" Xiao Xuanyuan looked around and kept asking, but at this moment, there was only his figure in the empty hall. His voice kept echoing, which seemed particularly lonely and had a chilling feeling.
Xiao Xuanyuan shivered from the chill and stopped thinking about the Tower Venerable. He walked to the location of the large red medicine cauldron and gently pressed down on a protruding part of a stone slab. Instantly, a thin, transparent protective light screen, like a cicada's wing, rose up, forming a spherical light shield that firmly protected Xiao Xuanyuan inside.
Xiao Xuanyuan checked the alchemy equipment again and confirmed that there were no problems. Everything looked brand new, as if it had just been set up. Only then did he feel a little relieved.
He sat cross-legged on the spot, calmed himself down a bit, and then took out the floating light orb prescription that was recorded next to him. He reached out and touched it, and immediately, detailed prescription information flooded into his mind.
The Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill, a top-tier elixir among the third-grade pills, requires ten-thousand-year-old incense, a thousand-year-old pearl, and a thousand-year-old bewitching herb... It can only be produced after being simmered in the cauldron for eighty-one days. The success rate is only one percent, but highly skilled alchemists can increase the success rate by several percent...
The more Xiao Xuanyuan read the prescription, the more his brows furrowed. He was starting to regret choosing this kind of pill. It wasn't just that it was rare and the prescription was lost, not even available to the old medicine master. Rather, the pill made from this prescription was rather useless and didn't do much to improve his strength!
The Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill, as the name suggests, is a pill that can give a person a charming body fragrance and unique aroma. If a man takes it, he can emit a strong, unique masculine hormonal scent, which will vary depending on each man's constitution.
This special fragrance often attracts and captivates many women. As soon as they smell this male hormone-infused scent, women will involuntarily develop feelings for the man. Those with slightly weaker willpower will directly make vows of eternal love and fall deeply in love, vowing to marry no one but this man. This is the unique power of this elixir!
Back then, Xiao Xuanyuan chose this pill on a whim, finding its fragrance quite peculiar and wanting to study it himself. That's why he took it out. Now that he has truly seen the pill's true form, he is at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated!
Why did you choose this piece of junk?
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter 87 The Mysterious Fairy in the Memory Images
The Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill is the top-tier item among the third-grade pills. Even during the heyday of alchemy, the complexity and intricacy of its refining process meant that even the most skilled alchemists could not guarantee a 100% success rate in refining it!
Therefore, due to the peculiarity of this elixir, it was quite rare and precious at the time! Ordinary people could hardly ever see it, making it extremely scarce.
For men, taking it can enhance their masculinity and charm. For women, taking it can also significantly increase their feminine charm, attracting more and more men's attention. That's its power!
Therefore, this thousand-year-old body fragrance pill is also known as a "walking hormone"! Many men and women even went so far as to go bankrupt in their quest for it. At that time, the popularity of this pill was no less than that of high-grade pills of the fifth or sixth rank, which made cultivators flock to it and pursue it with madness!
However, nowadays, this ancient method of refining pills, along with the formula, has long been lost. Xiao Xuanyuan had only heard about it from the old medicine master before, but he never expected to encounter it in such a special way and with such a unique experience in the Divine Medicine Pavilion. It was truly both laughable and helpless.
Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Xuanyuan's mind, his face alternating between tears and laughter before finally settling into a look of dejection. He then slowly composed himself, his expression gradually returning to a solemn and serious one...
In order to refine the pills he had already taken and make up for it, Xiao Xuanyuan had no choice but to do his best. To be on the safe side, he could only first touch a special button on the alchemy stone platform with his palm and close his eyes tightly. His consciousness then entered a virtual space.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little dazed. Wasn't this the same environment he was in on the first floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion? How did his subconscious mind return to this place?
Just as he was wondering, the hazy light spots around him kept gathering in front of him. After a short while, they finally coalesced into a rather blurry human figure. As the light spots continued to gather, the human figure gradually became clearer and finally transformed into the delicate silhouette of a woman!
"Is this a woman?" Upon seeing this exquisitely beautiful and graceful figure, Xiao Xuanyuan's heart stirred slightly. This woman was extremely beautiful, with a tall and imposing figure, coupled with a devilishly charming face. She wore a long, flowing rainbow-pink dress, appearing ethereal and otherworldly. She seemed like a bewitching and arrogant witch, yet she exuded an approachable and refined fairy-like aura, which blended seamlessly with her devilishly voluptuous figure. There was no contradiction between them; the more one looked at her, the more pleasing she became, the more beautiful and otherworldly she seemed, leaving no room for criticism. There was also a faint sense of untouchable distance...
"Such a bewitching and alluring yet pure and lovely fairy, she is probably the goddess in the hearts of countless men, and I wonder how many people are crazy about her..."
Xiao Xuanyuan continued to scrutinize and admire the other woman's figure. He saw this unbelievably beautiful and alluring fairy first sit down cross-legged, and just like Xiao Xuanyuan had done earlier, her consciousness entered into the image memory. He didn't know how much time had passed, but Xiao Xuanyuan felt that a while had gone by. Then, this beautiful woman began the first round of refining the "Millennium Fragrance Pill"...
The beautiful woman was refining the medicine very slowly, deliberately slowing down her pace and being extremely careful in every aspect. Even so, after half a day, accompanied by a muffled roar from inside the red cauldron, a wisp of dark blue smoke drifted out from one of the small openings. A faint smell of burnt medicine wafted into Xiao Xuanyuan's nose, causing him to cough and have to fan his face with his hand to dispel the strange smell.
"Failed?" The beautiful fairy woman wrinkled her charming, upturned nose, drawing attention, and then released her soul perception to continuously observe the state of the dregs inside the large red alchemy cauldron, summarizing her experience of the failed alchemy attempt and various insights...
A full hour passed before the beautiful woman stopped observing her failed alchemy attempt. She then sat cross-legged again to analyze and dissect the memory images. A small notebook recording her experiences was filled with notes in her delicate hands.
Xiao Xuanyuan deliberately walked behind her to observe and found that although the handwriting was very messy, it was extremely delicate and elegant, with a girl's quiet handwriting style.
Hmm? The beauty-enhancing flower was placed half a breath too early, and the white lava fruit wasn't refined enough, containing a tiny impurity...
As he looked at her, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly. This incredibly beautiful fairy-like woman was quite meticulous, summarizing things very accurately, down to the smallest detail. Xiao Xuanyuan knew that with his alchemy skills, he might have missed some of the finer points, but this beautiful fairy-like woman had recorded everything flawlessly, which truly surprised him…
"Her handwriting is beautiful and elegant, and her summary of experience and insights is spot on. This beautiful woman's alchemy skills may not be inferior to mine." Xiao Xuanyuan secretly compared them in his heart and came to a conclusion.
Soon, the beautiful fairy-like woman finished recording her experiences and insights. She sat there, constantly flipping through the small notebook, until Xiao Xuanyuan felt he was getting impatient. At that moment, the second round of refining the "Millennium Fragrance Pill" began...
Three hours later, a much milder roar echoed again from within the large red cauldron. Just like the first time, the beautiful fairy woman began her meticulous observation and research, trying to figure out where she had gone wrong in her failed alchemy attempt.
The third round, the fourth round, the fifth round…
In the sixth round, a clear and resonant sound rang out, and a charming and delicate smile finally appeared on the beautiful fairy woman's face. She slapped the top of the large red cauldron with her palm, and the lid and a bright, irregularly shaped oval pill were simultaneously blown away and flew into the air. Then, a white light flashed past, and the beautiful fairy woman immediately put the irregularly shaped oval "Millennium Fragrance Pill" into a jade bottle.
A faint, ethereal voice suddenly rang out from nowhere: "A low-grade thousand-year fragrance pill has been successfully refined, barely passing the assessment..." Then the entire image world shattered, and Xiao Xuanyuan returned to his own body.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Xiao Xuanyuan showed a look of surprise and relief. Fortunately, the requirements here were not high, and low-grade pills could be used to get through the level, which greatly reduced the difficulty of passing the level for him!
Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, he took out a white jade bottle from his storage ring, uncorked it, and poured out an irregularly shaped oval pill. The pill lay quietly in his palm, emitting a unique medicinal aroma that, though faint and ethereal, lingered around his nose for a long time, refusing to dissipate...
