The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Looking at the irregularly shaped oval pill in his hand, and smelling its faint fragrance, Xiao Xuanyuan's mind flashed back to the fairy-like woman in his memory, and the pill she had refined. Instantly, his expression became a wonderful mix of laughter and tears...

"Sigh, after all this time, it still ended up in my own hands. I guess this is fate!" Xiao Xuanyuan helplessly put away the Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill in his hand, stuffed it back into the jade bottle, and threw it back into his storage ring.

The most important thing now is to refine a Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill to replace the pill I took before. Otherwise, I won't be able to pass through the first level and reach the second level. That's the rule of the first level.

After meditating for a long time to restore his mental state and fighting spirit to their best, Xiao Xuanyuan did not hesitate. He carefully immersed himself in the memory images and watched the strange fairy woman's alchemy records several times. After making sure he was fully confident, he began to prepare to refine the pills.

"I'm going to start the first round of pill refining!" As soon as Xiao Xuanyuan finished speaking, dozens of rare and precious spiritual herbs appeared out of thin air on the alchemy platform in front of him, along with dozens of other spiritual herbs that were rarely seen in ordinary times. These spiritual herbs were of excellent quality and clearly grew very well, with abundant spiritual energy.

"What a pity! Such a rare and precious spiritual herb is being used to refine this useless, third-grade pill. What a waste, what a real waste..."

With a few soft sighs, Xiao Xuanyuan stopped talking and slowly stretched out his palm, striking the large red medicine cauldron. Fiery battle qi surged out, directly enveloping the red medicine cauldron in its initial warming-up process, allowing him to familiarize himself with the cauldron.

The medicine cauldron is also crucial for successful medicine refining. A high-quality, top-grade medicine cauldron can greatly improve the success rate of medicine refining. At the same time, if the alchemist is not familiar with the medicine cauldron, it will also lead to a certain failure rate in medicine refining.

After a series of operations, Xiao Xuanyuan felt quite familiar with the large red medicine cauldron, such as its medicine inlet, the flame inlet, and the filter.

After familiarizing himself with the medicine cauldron, Xiao Xuanyuan meticulously broke down the ingredients of this Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill, arranging them in the correct order.

call…

After gradually adjusting and relaxing his mindset, Xiao Xuanyuan was in peak condition. He reached out and picked up the first spiritual herb, "Chang Suqing," and threw it into the large red medicine cauldron. Black flames immediately and slowly emerged from his palm and entered the cauldron.

"Brother Xuanyuan," came the affectionate, cute, and extremely lazy voice from the black veil. The black Six Paths Reincarnation Flame that Xiao Xuanyuan unleashed transformed into her charming appearance, stretching her soft, lazy waist.

“Yes, my darling Sha’er,” Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly, then deliberately instructed, “After you go in, be careful to control the flames. Keep the temperature below 300 degrees Celsius to prevent burning the medicinal herbs.”

"You stinky brother, why do you call me out only to make me do things? You usually take me out to play," Hei Sha rolled her eyes as soon as she came out, her delicate little face showing her anger.

"We'll talk about it next time. This time, you have to do something good for your brother first. If you mess things up this time, I won't let you out again." Xiao Xuanyuan affectionately touched her delicate little face, and then ruthlessly pushed her into the red medicine cauldron.

"You brat, don't go back on your word, or Black Veil will cause trouble for you and never talk to you again." Black Veil's angry and coquettish voice came from inside the red medicine cauldron, full of resentment, making Xiao Xuanyuan sweat profusely.

"Don't worry, Brother Xuanyuan will definitely do it!" Xiao Xuanyuan wiped his sweat with one hand, feeling ashamed. This little girl must have been cooped up for too long and really wanted to come out and play.

"Sigh, I've been so focused on cultivation lately that I've forgotten about this little girl. I really feel bad for her." Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little ashamed. After all, he had too many things to do. He not only had to cultivate, but also had a lot of other things to deal with, which kept him busy. He didn't have much time for romance. Besides, he had quite a few women, so it was normal for him to forget Hei Sha. Moreover, he had always regarded Hei Sha as his own sister.

Having summoned the Black Veil Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, Xiao Xuanyuan felt much more at ease. After all, among the various strange flames he had refined, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Dragon Flame lacked their own sentience and consciousness. Only the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame had developed Black Veil's self-awareness. Driving the other two strange flames required Xiao Xuanyuan to expend a huge amount of soul perception to refine the spiritual herbs, and it had to be extremely precise and meticulous. If Black Veil, being a naturally born strange flame, could be used as the driving force for refining, it would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Although Xiao Xuanyuan was quite confident in the process of Hei Sha refining the spiritual medicine, he still used a portion of his soul perception to observe and direct it just in case, lest the little girl cause any trouble.

Under the careful control of the master and servant, half an hour later, the first relatively precious spiritual herb was completely cleansed of impurities and refined into a fine, light green powder.

After successfully refining the first spiritual herb, Xiao Xuanyuan continued to refine the second spiritual herb in the same way, and after some time, the spiritual herb also turned into a wisp of essence.

Then the third plant, the fourth plant...

Finally, when it came to the thirteenth plant, it was time to refine an extremely rare and precious spiritual herb. This time, Xiao Xuanyuan repeatedly instructed Hei Sha to be extra careful and not to be careless in the slightest. Such a rare spiritual herb was extremely difficult to find in the outside world, not to mention that there was a limit to the number of times this refining process could be done, with only ten chances. If a chance was wasted, then the chance of success would be reduced by one. Xiao Xuanyuan did not want to be careless and miss even one chance.

Under Xiao Xuanyuan's close surveillance, Hei Sha naturally felt a pressure, and her nerves tightened. She was no longer as relaxed as before. In this tense atmosphere, the refining process proceeded slowly until it ended. A pink essence liquid that emitted a faint and special floral fragrance floated and flowed in the air above the inner room of the red medicine cauldron, and was lightly and transparently enveloped by Xiao Xuanyuan's soul perception.

"Phew, it's a success. Come on, Sister Sha'er, let's continue..." Xiao Xuanyuan revealed a faint smile, then turned back to keep a close eye on the alchemy process.

"Brother Xuanyuan, you scared me to death." Hei Sha gently patted her proud little chest to release her nervousness, and then returned to continuing to refine her product.

This time, she didn't want to mess up the refining of the spiritual medicine, as it concerned whether she would have the chance to go out and play with Brother Xuanyuan in the future. If she messed it up, she would be too ashamed to talk to Brother Xuanyuan again.

Chapter 89, Second Floor

"Little Sha'er, don't get distracted!"

Xiao Xuanyuan quickly gave a word of advice.

……

The long refining process continued cautiously, one herb after another. As more and more spiritual herbs were refined into their essence, Xiao Xuanyuan's confidence grew stronger, and a look of self-assurance appeared on his bright face.

"This is a rare spiritual herb, Sister Sha'er, you must be careful." After throwing a rare spiritual herb, which was almost extinct in the outside world, into the red medicine cauldron, Xiao Xuanyuan unconsciously gave this advice.

"Don't worry, Brother Xuanyuan, Sister Sha'er is already very skilled at this!" Sister Hei Sha patted her proud, plump little chest, her face full of arrogant confidence, and she had long since lost the anxious and cautious look she had when she first started refining the spiritual medicine.

Xiao Xuanyuan said no more and continued to watch from the side. His expression was no longer as tense as before, because the black-veiled sister had never disappointed him and had always successfully refined the essence of the spiritual medicine.

Sizzle... sizzle...

A pure, eerie black flame, radiating a cold, deep black light, swirled and burned within the large red cauldron, hovering around the slender, jade-like hand draped in black gauze. A strange fruit, its color a molten lava red, was tightly enveloped by the floating, swirling black flame. The cold, dark flame, seemingly from the underworld, emitted an eerie glow, constantly scorching the red fruit's skin with a soft sizzling sound, gradually penetrating and burning the flesh inside…

As the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame was refined, wisps of strange smoke continuously drifted out from the red fruit, only to be instantly burned into nothingness by the black flames. These were the impurities of the red fruit.

Staring at one thing for so long, even though Xiao Xuanyuan's soul perception was incredibly profound, he was getting a little bored and relaxed a bit. Just as he was about to take a nap, a somewhat piercing hissing sound entered his ears. Then he looked up and saw that the red fruit that was being refined into a pure liquid had turned into a wisp of black smoke in the eerie black flames and vanished with a hiss!

"..."

Xiao Xuanyuan was dumbfounded, his expression silent as he stared blankly at the black veil. At that moment, the black veil, which was formed from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Flame, opened its small mouth slightly. It looked at the red fruit in its hand that had turned to ashes and disappeared, and then at its brother Xuanyuan who was staring at it in a daze. Its pretty face quickly turned red, and it turned its face away in shame, not daring to look Xiao Xuanyuan in the eye.

Xiao Xuanyuan just stared at the girl in black veil without saying a word or making a move. He just stared blankly, which made the girl in black veil feel an invisible pressure, pressing down on her from nowhere, making her feel like she couldn't breathe.

Finally, unable to withstand the pressure, Hei Sha hurriedly apologized: "Brother Xuanyuan, I'm sorry, I..."

Xiao Xuanyuan remained silent, staring blankly at her.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xuanyuan, I was wrong..." Black Veil had no choice but to steel herself, her pretty face flushed, and muster the courage to say it.

Xiao Xuanyuan stared blankly for a few seconds until Hei Sha apologized several times before he finally let out a soft breath and shook his head slightly. "I'll let it go this time, but don't make this mistake again next time, or your brother Xuanyuan won't forgive you!"

Xiao Xuanyuan pretended to be fierce, but in his heart he was also relieved and didn't really blame her. However, he still needed to give her a warning.

Having wasted a red spirit fruit, Xiao Xuanyuan needed another batch of spirit medicine to refine the Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill. Reluctantly, he summoned the Tower Venerable and communicated with it. The second batch of spirit medicine appeared on the table in ample quantity. According to the Tower Venerable's instructions, he would not question Xiao Xuanyuan's wasted spirit medicine, but he had already wasted one opportunity.

Moreover, when refining medicine, the first batch of spiritual herbs can be combined with the subsequent batches. As long as the pill can be successfully refined, everything else is not a problem!

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have to refine all the spiritual herbs he had already refined into essence again just because a single red spiritual fruit was ruined. That would be too exhausting and a waste of time, and extremely not worth it. As long as he didn't have to start all over again, that would be fine.

Having obtained the second batch of spiritual herbs and learned from this lesson, Hei Sha and Xiao Xuanyuan dared not be careless again. After some time, all the spiritual herbs used to refine the Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill were refined into a pure form, and the final stage of the pill was completed.

All of this requires not only superb and powerful soul perception, but also the alchemist's unparalleled patience and meticulousness, as well as control over their own flames. Sometimes it also tests the strength and quality of the alchemist's own flames. If there is any deviation in any of these, it is very easy to fail in the refining process. The time for Xiao Xuanyuan to be tested has come!

"Little Sha'er, cooperate with me!"

"Yes, Brother Xuanyuan!"

The master and servant then engaged in a long-term, tacit agreement in their alchemy practices.

……

"I wonder if this cheap disciple can enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion, and if he has the opportunity and good fortune..." In the vast medicine refining valley of the outer fairyland, in a certain flower valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a stunningly beautiful woman with a graceful demeanor and ethereal aura was gazing in the direction of the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

At this moment, two beautiful maids floated in from outside and landed in front of the stunning woman. They bowed deeply and left with utmost respect: "Reporting to the master, no one has yet come out of the Divine Medicine Pavilion!"

"Okay, you can go down now." The stunningly beautiful woman nodded slightly, her long sleeves fluttering in the breeze.

"Yes, Master!" The two beautiful maids turned and slowly retreated, leaving only the stunningly beautiful and graceful woman in the flower valley.

"It's been three days, and not a single person has emerged from the Divine Medicine Pavilion. It seems we've found some promising talents this time..." With a soft murmur, the elegant woman closed her beautiful eyes and entered a meditative state...

Meanwhile, in a secluded spot amidst flowing water and towering mountains, an elderly man with white hair and an air of serene detachment was fishing. Upon hearing this, he smiled slightly and stroked his long white beard: "This Xiao Yan has considerable talent. He possesses a powerful mutated flame comparable to a strange fire. As long as he can truly enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion, his future is boundless..."

"Congratulations to the Valley Master on taking on such a fine disciple. May he have a bright future ahead of him..." He laughed heartily, his old face beaming with joy.

……

Inside the Divine Medicine Pavilion, a brightly lit staircase descended from the sky, casting a golden sheen on the ground.

With a slightly tired look on his face, Xiao Xuanyuan slowly walked up the stairs leading to the second floor.

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter 90 Long Time No See

The bright, dazzling light swept away the darkness in the hall and gradually fell in front of Xiao Xuanyuan. An ancient wooden ladder appeared out of thin air and grew longer and longer until it reached Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Finally, it's all over!"

Xiao Xuanyuan exhaled a long breath that he had been holding back for so long, which turned into a long white wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air.

Inside this palace, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't know how long he had been there. Time seemed to pass by, as if centuries had gone by, or as if several years had passed. While he was focused and serious, concentrating all his attention and spiritual perception on refining medicine, he had long forgotten the existence of time. At the same time, each pill was condensed into a pill after countless failures, overcoming difficulties.

When refining the Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill for the first time, it failed three times before a mid-grade Fragrant Pill was successfully refined. This was already very rare. It was also thanks to the existence of the Strange Flame and the Burning Technique that Xiao Xuanyuan possessed. These two things greatly increased the chances of successfully refining the pill.

Like the stunningly beautiful fairy woman in the previous memory, she possessed a mutated flame of extraordinary quality, far superior to the medicinal flames of ordinary alchemists, yet still inferior to a rare flame. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. Therefore, the fact that the woman was able to successfully refine a low-grade Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill on the seventh or eighth attempt demonstrated her mastery of alchemy.

After sending the refined mid-grade Thousand-Year Fragrance Pill into the large red cauldron, Xiao Xuanyuan sat down to rest, restoring his fire battle qi and his own condition to their peak. He then immediately set off to refine the next pill.

Xiao Xuanyuan took ten of the red medicine cauldrons, each containing ten pills; from the black medicine cauldron, which was also one of the ten Medicine King Cauldrons, he only took one Great Rejuvenation Pill.

As for the pills taken from the ten large red medicine cauldrons, with Xiao Xuanyuan's superb skills, although there was a certain chance of failure, he still managed to refine them steadily without any major incidents. However, when it came to refining the last Great Rejuvenation Pill, he almost failed and was expelled from the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

This Great Rejuvenation Pill, despite being only a top-tier fifth-grade pill, has long been lost in the Dou Qi Continent. Even the Medicine Master doesn't have it; there's only a similar "Rejuvenation Pill" called "Rejuvenation Pill."

Although the names are almost identical and both are fifth-grade pills, Xiao Xuanyuan compared them with those he had successfully refined before, and the effects were almost worlds apart. The pills refined from the Rejuvenating Pill formula given by the old medicine master seemed to have less than one-tenth the effect of those taken from the black Medicine King Cauldron, even though the ingredients and refining process of that formula were different.

The lost formula for the Great Rejuvenation Pill is even more advanced and profound. In order to fully understand this formula, Xiao Xuanyuan had to go into seclusion for about ten days to explore it before he could completely understand it and master it.

Even so, knowledge is still knowledge, but practicing alchemy is a different story. After failing nine times and almost ruining everything, on the tenth attempt, Xiao Xuanyuan nearly failed to condense the last Great Rejuvenation Pill. The entire pill was emitting black smoke. At the last moment, Xiao Xuanyuan had to use the "Pill Ascension" technique taught by the old alchemist, and add a mouthful of blood essence and a wisp of soul perception to it. Only then could he barely save the almost failed Great Rejuvenation Pill and refine it into a perfect top-level pill!

Furthermore, thanks to this alchemy, Xiao Xuanyuan saved the Great Rejuvenation Pill from almost failing and emitting black smoke, and even upgraded it to a top-tier fifth-grade pill. The Tower Venerable made a special appearance to reward him by allowing him to take away any sufficient quantity of spiritual herbs for refining the pill as a sign of commendation!

Finally, Xiao Xuanyuan selected a sufficient amount of the spiritual herbs for one of the ten black medicine king cauldrons and put it into his storage ring.

"Alchemy knows no time, and time itself is meaningless. You've already wasted a year and a half on the first floor. Now that your mission is complete, you can proceed to the second floor. Let's part ways here!" From the void of darkness, the aged figure of the Tower Venerable slowly emerged, pointing Xiao Xuanyuan in the direction to go up. "The first floor is for alchemy, a trial conducted by the Divine Medicine Pavilion for its many alchemist disciples to improve their alchemy skills. Your performance was quite good; you can leave now!"

"Yes, Venerable Tower!" Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, the slight fatigue on his handsome face vanished, and he lifted his leg to walk towards the wooden staircase leading to the mysterious second floor!

Geda, geda…

After climbing several wooden steps, Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly turned around and looked at the void where the Tower Venerable was: "Tower Venerable, I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it?"

"What is it?" The ancient-looking Tower Venerable, whose face was devoid of any emotion, slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced indifferently at Xiao Xuanyuan.

"A woman entered the Divine Medicine Pavilion before me. Where is she now?" Xiao Xuanyuan voiced his doubts about Senior Sister Hua. It seemed that Senior Sister Hua had mysteriously disappeared without a trace from the moment she entered the first floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

"Although the Divine Medicine Pavilion is indeed a Divine Medicine Pavilion, with each floor distinct, there are countless overlapping spaces within it. It may be right in front of you, or it may be in a far corner. None of this will affect your choice, so why ask any more questions? Please go." After saying this, the Tower Venerable disappeared from Xiao Xuanyuan's sight in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a trace.

After listening to the Tower Venerable's words, Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to understand something. Without further hesitation, he took a decisive step and walked firmly up the seemingly endless wooden staircase of light!

One step after another, one step after another…
