It is winter, a special season when the old year turns to the new year. The entire Xuanhe world is surging with a special aura. Heavy snow covers the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and the new year is about to come.
As agreed, Lin Xuan came to a big mountain within a hundred miles of the Inner Gate Dan Peak. A grand event was being held on the mountain. Disciples from the Yongquan Stage to the Zifu Stage, as well as a group of elders, appeared. Here he met some familiar people.
After searching for a while, he found the target and walked straight towards it. There was an open space there and no inner disciples approached there because there were already two beautiful figures occupying it.
"Two fairies, I'm here." Lin Xuan stepped forward and greeted them. He was surprised that it was Zhao Xuexian, not Su Shuai, who contacted him first. She was obviously more aloof than Su Shuai.
"Hi, junior brother." Zhao Xuexian didn't move. Su Shuai responded to him and walked closer. Lin Xuan was stunned. From his perception, the aura of these two people was much stronger than the last time they met.
Did they break through? The last time they met, they were stuck at the top of the Yongquan Stage. If they had another big breakthrough, would it be to the Zifu Stage?
Well, including Sister Xiang'er and that woman Xia Nuanqiu, these two fairies, he knows quite a lot of female cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage.
I don’t know what realm the fox fairy I had a brief romance with many years ago was in. It seemed that she was a woman in the Purple Mansion or Jindan stage at that time?
Today, Zhao Xuexian's appointment with him was obviously related to an important event in the alchemy. He had an impression of this mountain, as he had been here more than ten years ago. One of his aunts, an elder in charge of the alchemy, invited him to observe a special alchemy performance.
It was here that he first met two fairies who had been famous in the inner sect for a long time, the Fairy of Medicine and the Fairy of Alchemy.
This mountain has gathered more than a dozen elders, ranging from the Jindan to Yuanshen realms. Only the elders of these realms can work together to refine the elixir.
This special elixir is made of the special luck of the new and old years as the main material, and is supplemented by a variety of luck spiritual materials to be refined into a pill. The Fanjin Pill, after swallowing and refining, can strengthen the foundation and significantly improve the luck. Even if the foundation is unusually strong, swallowing this pill will also be beneficial.
Lin Xuan came here to observe more than ten years ago, and at the end he received a Fanjin Pill, which he gave to Zhang Miaotong. He had considered swallowing the pill, but he had a hunch that his foundation was extremely strong and beyond a certain threshold, so the effect of swallowing the pill would be minimal.
He simply gave the pill to his good sister to swallow. This girl's aptitude was a little poor, and she needed this special pill to improve her foundation.
At this time, magic array lights and shadows were flickering in the sky, and extremely complicated array patterns could be faintly seen. The last time he was here, he received several pharmacopoeias from Aunt Xu Zhiya. He often comprehended the contents of the pharmacopoeias and enriched the soil for alchemy. When he learned to refine Qi-refining pills, it really helped.
Both the Qi Refining Pill and the Qi Gathering Powder are auxiliary cultivation pills that span the Qi Refining stage and the Yongquan stage. The former is taken internally while the latter is used externally. Now that he is in the late second level of the Yongquan stage, the effect of the spiritual-grade Qi Gathering Powder has declined, but the Qi Refining Pill is still strong, and he has touched the door to the Qi Refining Spirit Pill realm.
The difficulty of refining Qi Refining Pill is greater than that of Gathering Qi Powder, but he still quickly approached the level of spiritual pill. This was due to the help of those pharmacopoeias and the guidance of Zhao Xuexian.
He refined the Fanjin Pill again this year. He had refined the Fanjin Pill twice in the gap between the two more than ten years ago. He did not participate in both times. This year, with the invitation of Zhao Xuexian, he decisively participated in the alchemy meeting.
After the alchemy is finished, the inner disciples on site will have the opportunity to ask the elders for guidance without having to pay inner disciples points, so it is called the alchemy meeting.
Lin Xuan talked with the two fairies while staring at the great formation in the sky. It had already entered the refining stage. The elders put medicinal materials into the center one after another. The power of the great formation was used to refine the essence of the elixir, which was then stimulated by the magic power of the cultivators to condense into a finished pill.
After asking the Dan Fairy some small questions about alchemy, Lin Xuan fell into deep thought and digested his gains in an instant. Then he remembered that he had received a basic pharmacopoeia from an aunt here more than ten years ago. The pharmacopoeia allowed him to learn about the life of many elixirs and increase his chances of success in alchemy.
That aunt's name was Xu Zhiya, and she was the biological mother of this Saint Son. At that time, she suggested that I step into the field of Dan Zhen, but I had forgotten about it in the past ten years, mainly because I had no time to step into Dan Zhen to practice.
------------
() There are some minor errors in the realm of the protagonist, and the time doesn't match. I corrected it and took these two chapters as the standard. As for alchemy, those pharmacopoeias are also based on this chapter. Those pharmacopoeias were not given by Zhao Hesu. There are some minor errors in the previous chapters.
In addition, the timeline is blurred and not so accurate. If it is too accurate, problems may easily occur.
Chapter 103 Goodbye Xu Zhiya
Elegant, dignified, and charmingly mature, female cultivators who are wives and mothers usually cultivate such an attitude. The beautiful woman in front of him is Xu Zhiya, the mother of the Holy Son Quan Tianxing, and an aunt of Lin Xuan.
This aunt was not introduced to him directly by his stepmother or mother, but she knew the relationship between his stepmother and mother and came to meet him directly.
When he entered the mountain, Xu Zhiya, who was still in the stage of adjusting his formation, noticed the beautiful woman at a glance. His eyes flickered and he instantly felt familiar with her. Then he immediately remembered that he had some interaction with this young man more than ten years ago.
Her original intention was to act on behalf of her son and help this younger generation so that it would be easier for her son to make friends with others in the future.
At this time, the magic circle has entered a state of being ready to go with the concerted efforts of all the masters. They have successively invested in refining auxiliary spiritual materials and gradually absorbed the invisible energy coming from all directions.
The most important ingredient in refining Fanjin Dan is the elusive Qi of Heaven. This Qi of Heaven is different from the Heaven that dominates the Xuanhe Realm. It is more like the Qi of humanity, and more essentially the Qi of the Way of Living Things.
The territory of Xuannv Palace is more than 20,000 miles. After eliminating those bloodthirsty monks or monsters, most of the remaining ones are pure. At most, the killing is caused by conflicts of interest. The killing caused by this motive usually does not touch the bottom line of Xuannv Palace. Xuannv Palace takes a laissez-faire attitude towards such creatures.
The territory of more than 20,000 miles is so vast that even if a cultivator in the Yongquan stage uses his maximum speed, it will take a long time to cross it. On this land, no matter whether there is intelligence or not, whether it is human, demon, beast, or even spiritual plants that have no intelligence at all, as long as they are living beings, they always have spiritual existence. The special energy required for refining the main ingredient of the Fanjin Pill comes from the spirituality of all living things.
Every few years, through the root spirituality of all the spirits on this land, the special qi is cultivated.
The method of refining Fanjin Dan is no secret in Xuanhe Realm. Not only does Xuannv Palace regularly absorb the energy of all living things to refine Fanjin Dan, but the larger forces in the world also refine Fanjin Dan on a regular basis.
I have seen the refining process of Fanjin Pill once, but it has been more than ten years since then. Today I saw it again. After briefly asking Zhao Xuexian, such a cold and aloof pill fairy, some questions about alchemy, my attention was focused on the formation on the top of the mountain.
Alchemy with formations, Xu Zhiya, the aunt who took the initiative to get to know him, originally intended to lead him into this field. The cold and beautiful fairy next to him was this kind of demon, but he really didn't have much time.
His current knowledge of alchemy in the alchemy furnace is indeed enough for him to digest for a long time, and he may be able to step into this new field in the future.
There was a terrifying light shining in the sky, and the slight power leaking from the formation frightened Lin Xuan. It was near the end of the year and the area was covered with snow. Under the light of the formation, the snow on the top of the nearby mountain showed signs of melting.
It is worthy of being a large formation activated by more than a dozen elders. Even if it is only used for alchemy, it is likely to contain incredible power. If these young cultivators in the Yongquan period are slightly affected, it will be a disaster.
He looked around. Some of the tall trees still had branches and leaves, while others had lost all their leaves in the autumn, but without exception they were all covered with deep snow. Most of the alchemy disciples who had gathered there stood on the trees, using their magic power to clear out a simple place to stay.
He couldn't understand the formation in the sky, but his fellow disciples who had practiced the art of alchemy formation were already immersed in their understanding, and there was no need to wait for the elders to finish refining the alchemy before asking for advice.
Beside her, Zhao Xuexian slowly closed her eyes, apparently also entering into enlightenment. Every time she started to refine the Fanjin Pill, due to the different inputs of the main and auxiliary materials and the changes in the participating elders, the refining techniques would undergo subtle changes. Every time they personally observed the alchemy of such a large formation, these disciples who entered the path of alchemy would gain a lot.
Because I have never been exposed to the art of alchemy, I have no way of understanding it, but the power of the formation itself is there, and I can still appreciate some of its charm.
What's more, he had personally experienced the power of the alchemy formation more than ten years ago, and perhaps he could expand the means of using the alchemy formation against the enemy in the future.
Two hours later, along with more than a dozen powerful fluctuations, more than a dozen kinds of magic power intervened in the formation, blending the essences of different medicinal materials to condense them into finished pills. The momentum of the pills this year was several times greater than that of more than a decade ago.
I think this year's alchemy will produce a lot of Fanjin Pills.
The most important function of the Fanjin Pill is to strengthen the foundation. Only those with an extremely solid foundation can develop resistance to this kind of magical pill. Even in a top holy place like the Xuannv Palace, there are few such monsters. I just don't know if there will be a chance to receive one or two Fanjin Pills this time.
Lin Xuan had expectations. He had no need for this kind of elixir itself, but he had four beautiful wives, three of whom had unsatisfactory qualifications. Among them, his good sister had already eaten the Fanjin Pill, and her foundation was several times stronger than her own cultivation, but Sister Ling Huaiyin and the maid Dongxue had not eaten it yet.
As for Sister Xiang'er, she is Sister Yu's top disciple and a genuine disciple, so there is no need to worry about her foundation being affected for the time being.
Another half a quarter of an hour passed, and as the terrifying aura of the formation gradually subsided, it announced the end of the refining of the Fanjin Pill. The elders in the sky also disappeared one after another, or stayed behind to accept teachings from the alchemy disciples on the scene.
Lin Xuan saw that the disciples who were seeking enlightenment around him all woke up at the same time, including Fairy Zhao beside him.
"Junior brother, you are also an alchemist. Have you figured out anything?" At this time Su Shuai appeared beside Lin Xuan and asked.
"No, I haven't practiced the alchemy formation, so I can't see what's special about the formation." Lin Xuan shook his head and looked towards the top of the mountain.
A beautiful woman came down from the top of the mountain, attracting the attention of some people. Xu Zhiya was in charge of a mountain, and some disciples recognized him. When they saw her land, they wanted to go up to her for advice, but when they realized that her purpose was clear, they stopped. Going up to disturb her at this time would obviously be asking for trouble.
The inner sect of Xuannv Palace implemented a point system. Although points could be used to purchase opportunities for guidance from elders, what realm were the elders at? They often closed the sect for a few months, resulting in a shortage of supply. Sometimes, one had to wait in the sect hall for a long time to wait for the sect roster to be updated, waiting until a certain elder was free.
It is rare to see so many elders gather at an alchemy meeting like this one, not to mention that these elders are all powerful people in the field of alchemy.
Meeting such an elder, Lin Xuan blinked and the image coincided with the one in his memory. More than ten years had passed, but this aunt's face was still untouched by the wind and frost. In fact, he and this aunt were quite unfamiliar with each other.
Walking closer, Xu Zhiya smiled softly, as if in a spring breeze, "Nephew Lin, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You have grown up and are now a true disciple of the inner sect's Yongquan."
"I am ashamed to say that I haven't found time to visit my aunt in more than ten years." Lin Xuan scratched his head and was very respectful in front of this elder. After all, he was not familiar with the man, so it was always right to be careful.
"Elder." Zhao Xuexian and Su Shuai saluted, and Xu Zhiya also smiled warmly and nodded to them.
A genius should be self-important. Even in front of a powerful elder, the two of them were neither humble nor arrogant, but they did not forget etiquette.
It is one thing to be self-important and not be intimidated by the powerful, but it is another thing to have a brain attack and cause hostility from the powerful. Putting on airs in front of your seniors is not only rude, but also easy to offend others and make things difficult for yourself.
Zhao Xuexian and Su Shuai were originally outer sect disciples, several generations older than Lin Xuan. Until they discovered the most suitable path for each of them, they rose all the way up, were promoted to the inner sect, and made a great reputation. They have not yet become disciples of any elder, so they currently have no connections or background.
Fortunately, the elders of Xuannv Palace would not interfere with the interests of their disciples, so the two of them were not too anxious.
"Let's go, let's find a place to sit down." Xu Zhiya came specifically for Lin Xuan, so he took the three of them away directly. Behind the scenes, some disciples who wanted to ask for advice were disappointed. This elder with an amazing background did not intend to take the opportunity to instruct his disciples this year.
Chapter 104: Senior Sister Also Wants to Teach Junior Disciple
Just near the Neimen Dan Peak, in a small restaurant on a hill, several extremely noble men and women were sitting together.
This small restaurant is built on the mountain and is quite famous. It is as famous as the Canteen and is the first choice for inner disciples and elders to get together.
The table was already filled with dishes, made from spiritual creatures. Not only did the food taste delicious to the monks, it also provided tangible benefits to their cultivation.
The four extraordinary men and women first had their meal. They ate quietly at the table. There was not much conversation during the meal. After all, the relationships between the four people were a bit subtle.
After the meal, they asked the waiter to clean up and served four cups of spiritual tea. The beautiful woman in the lead nodded, and then she seemed to be talking about something.
Xu Zhiya looked at Zhao Xuexian and Su Shuai first. The two girls were very famous in the inner sect, and the Xuannv Palace had secret records of them. Both of these disciples had cultivated to the twelfth level of foundation and had a bright future.
"My two junior nieces are very capable. Their foundation surpasses many inner disciples and they are at the forefront. Aren't you considering finding a master?" Xu Zhiya chuckled. After all, these two women were both geniuses of her alchemy lineage. One was a pure alchemist and was good at repairing alchemy formations, and the other entered the world of medicine. She was a doctor, a master of medicine, a medical saint, a miracle doctor, and had already stepped into the third realm.
Su Shuai can easily treat most ailments, big or small, or use her medical skills to fight off enemies with tricky methods.
The elders of the various branches of the inner sect alchemy were all interested in accepting the two genius disciples. The main purpose of her summoning the two girls to ask them questions was to have a small gathering with these three people.
"No, Elder, thank you for your kindness. We two sisters are not in a hurry and plan to take a look first." Zhao Xuexian was more confident than Su Shuai. She declined Xu Zhiya's invitation on her behalf. The two of them did not need the elder's resource support for the time being.
Their skills in alchemy and medicine are a good way to accumulate wealth, especially the elixirs refined by Zhao Xuexian, which are themselves a scarce resource.
"Okay, I wish you both a bright future." Xu Zhiya was not angry after being rejected. She was just asking on behalf of others and had no intention of accepting disciples.
She looked at Lin Xuan on the other side and asked with a smile, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years. My nephew Lin is already a disciple of Yongquan. Have you included the Dan formation into your practice plan over the years?"
“No.” Lin Xuan shook his head: “I really allocate my time very carefully every day. I haven’t considered the method of forming the alchemy formation for the time being. Junior Brother, I don’t have much time for the next period of time.”
"So my nephew will consider it in the future?" Xu Zhiya smiled in her beautiful eyes: "Since my nephew said that he would consider practicing the way of alchemy formation in the future, it's better to do it as soon as possible. For a talent like my nephew, the sooner the better. The more comprehensive the means, the more helpful it will be to the immortal way."
Her eyes suddenly became profound, and she gradually understood the details of this nephew in front of her. She was secretly shocked that the degree to which the three elements of essence, energy and spirit were integrated into one was so high that he was actually a peerless monster who had fully stepped into the thirteenth level and was even more powerful than her son!
These geniuses are all people with top comprehension. In her eyes, geniuses of this level should develop in an all-round way.
"Well, thank you for your guidance, aunt." Lin Xuan nodded. His energy was now occupied by various Taoist methods such as spells, exercises, body refining techniques, miraculous skills, alchemy, etc. Only by practicing a certain Taoist method to achieve supernatural powers can he spare time to study new Taoist methods.
One cannot bite off more than he can chew. Now that he has already learned a certain Taoist method, he will not stop halfway and will strive to achieve perfection and refine it until he attains supernatural powers.
The Taoist methods that have achieved supernatural powers can be easily and instantly exerted, and can be displayed at will in a moment's thought and breath. They are also the most powerful, and this kind of attainment is the most meaningful.
Like the Frost Rune technique he created, he became more and more proficient in it, and it was hidden in the moves of Thunder Palm, silently hitting the enemy's body, with endless uses. Only when he mastered more magical powers and attainments, would he have more soil to perfect the Frost Rune.
At the same time, he would consider Xu Zhiya's advice. Most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation hope that their methods will be as comprehensive as possible.
After talking with the elders for a while, Xu Zhiya left for something, leaving Lin Xuan and the other two in the room.
The tea in the cups had already gone cold, and the four of them took small sips while talking, resulting in some tea left over.
"My two sisters, when will you become disciples of the inner sect elders?" Lin Xuan brought up the matter of becoming disciples again. After all, it is quite rare to find a genius without a master.
When one reaches the level of a genius, everyone has his own path to follow, but becoming a disciple represents resources, which is also something that the genius must consider.
With the help of my master, it was easy for Lin Xuan to obtain the admission to the Holy Sword Mountain, a special opportunity. Otherwise, he would have to pay extra points to purchase the entrance. Some people who were not informed would not know about it until the event was over, which was a pity.
"I'm not sure, little junior brother, you don't need to ask about such things." Su Shuai answered Lin Xuan's question on behalf of Zhao Xuexian.
"Junior brother, do you still have any questions about alchemy? I will answer them for you today." Zhao Xuexian spoke at this time. She had been out for a long time today and she wanted to go back.
"Oh, yes. Senior Sister, let me think about it." Having asked for advice once a few hours ago, Lin Xuan immediately reviewed it and raised new doubts. After that, Zhao Xuexian answered him, and his attainments in alchemy improved slightly.
In just half a day, I received limited guidance from my senior. Although time was limited, this guidance was crucial, because the Qi Refining Pill had already reached the stage of breaking through to the Spiritual Pill. If I relied solely on my own understanding, it would take more than half a year.
Qi Refining Elixir is an elixir-level elixir that can be taken directly orally. This quality fully unleashes the efficacy of the medicinal materials and is completely non-toxic, making it suitable for cultivators to swallow in large quantities. Of course, the cultivators' meridians also have a tolerance limit, so there is a limit to the amount of this elixir that can be taken internally within a period of time.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Xuan had a deep understanding. This time when he returned, he immediately started to refine the elixir, and he was able to refine the Qi Refining Pill with 100% success!
There are many inner sect disciples in the Yongquan stage, and the market for Qi Refining Pills is very broad. He can even earn inner sect points with them. The sect affairs hall supports the pill trade. Qi Refining Pills are more valuable than high-grade Qi Refining Pills and can be exchanged for a large number of inner sect points.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior sister!" He bowed to Zhao Xuexian to express his gratitude sincerely. It was wonderful that this master of alchemy was giving him guidance for free.
"Junior brother, even the elders say that you have amazing talent. Why don't you study medicine as well? It's a bright road ahead. I will give you guidance when the time comes." Su Shuai tilted her head and winked at him, urging him to take up the new path as well.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior sister, but I didn't lie to my aunt. I really don't have time. My daily training is already fully arranged." Lin Xuan was helpless. What did this senior sister want to do? Why was she so eager to lead him to a new path?
"Alas, junior brother can't get guidance from me, a senior sister." Su Shuai sighed, feeling disappointed. She wanted to guide this junior brother like Zhao Xuexian did.
Lin Xuan looked her face from side to side, not knowing what she was thinking. Even if he was a genius, practicing a new path would be a very complicated matter, right?
Even for the branch of alchemy, the art of alchemy formations, he doesn't have time to master it now.
What he said to his aunt was very true. In the future he must master the art of alchemy formation, which would at least be a good way to fight the enemy.
"Okay, it's getting late, we should go back." Zhao Xuexian had gained some insights from observing the formation today, and wanted to close the door and comprehend it as soon as possible, so she suggested separating.
"I have to go back too." Lin Xuan nodded. It was almost dusk outside, and he had to go back early to avoid his mother asking him questions.
Chapter 105: Ji Yingxuan's departure
At dusk, the two charming fairies returned home. Their caves were adjacent to each other, so they could just walk out of the door and turn around to reach the entrance of the opposite cave.
On the way back, the aloof fairy looked at the lively fairy, stared at the latter's face for a while and said, "Why did you suddenly ask Junior Brother to learn your medical skills?"
"I'm just being kind and letting you master one more skill!" Su Shuai felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Okay, okay, every time you meet, you're the only one giving advice, and I always feel like something's missing, so I also want to give advice to that little junior brother, just like you!"
Zhao Xuexian looked at the road again. She thought Su Shuai had developed feelings for her and wanted to get in touch with her through a more intimate relationship.
"Don't keep pestering them. Wait until they start studying medicine. Then you can ask for advice."
