…

In the fire room of No. A and D, the air was hot and hot, the heat wave was rolling, and the indoor temperature was extremely high.

Zhao Sheng concentrated his attention, and under the precise control of his spiritual consciousness, the blue earth fire ejected from the eight clam mouths changed from thick to thin to the thickness of a finger, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron also slowly floated, and its size shrank from the size of a water tank. It is as big as a wine jar and rotates slowly under the scorching fire.

As time passed, Zhao Sheng carefully added various elixirs, including dead wood in the shape of tree roots, processed green jade powder, transparent slurry, etc.

The step of smelting medicinal properties is the most likely step to get out of control in alchemy, because the alchemy reaction is the most violent, and there is no room for carelessness.

This was his fourth time refining the second-level elixir Cold Dove Marrow elixir. The first three times had failed, but this time there seemed to be hope of success.

Half an hour later, the slightest hint of medicinal fragrance emitted from the Nine Dragon Cauldron, which made people feel refreshed.

But Zhao Sheng knew that it was still early for the elixir to be produced before the main ingredient was added.

At least the main medicine and the elixir have been successfully integrated, and only then can we reach the stage of condensing the elixir. Only in this way can we have hope of success.

The refining of second-level elixirs is more difficult than that of first-level elixirs, more than ten times more difficult on average, except for a few special elixirs.

Even a genius like Zhao Sheng, who has extraordinary understanding and talent, has failed many times in a row when refining the second-level elixir.

Of course, this may be due to his own exploration and experimentation.

It is difficult to refine the second-level elixir, but no matter how difficult it is, is it as difficult as building a foundation?

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng cheered up, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron under the control of his spiritual consciousness flickered, looking a little dazzling.

Gradually, the ground fire began to grow from thin to thick, and finally reached the point where it was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The ground fire enveloped the entire Nine Dragon Cauldron in flames,

At a glance, the Nine Dragon Cauldron seemed to have turned into a fireball, and the scent of the medicine became stronger and stronger as the flames burned.

After nearly an hour, the strong medicinal fragrance gathered on the top of the stone chamber, lingering for a long time, and finally formed a small gray-white red cloud.

Seeing this, a flash of light flashed in Zhao Sheng's eyes, and with a wave of his right hand, a fist-sized, blue gelatinous cold dove brain flew out of dehydration, and flew into the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

boom!

The Nine-Dragon Cauldron trembled for a while, and large pieces of blue smoke spurted out from the edge of the furnace lid. The aroma of medicine in the stone chamber became stronger, but a bone-chilling chill suddenly surged in the hot air.

Zhao Sheng's spiritual consciousness exploded with all his strength, and the alchemy techniques in his hand created a series of afterimages. A series of superb spiritual lights flashed into the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and he controlled the alchemy liquid to complete the final alchemy transformation.

At this time, even a fool knows that this alchemy has reached the most critical moment.

"Give it to me, Ning!"

A moment later, Zhao Sheng suddenly shouted loudly, the light in his eyes soared, and his hands almost turned into afterimages.

Bang bang bang!

Amidst a burst of explosions and the smell of burning, a joyful smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Sheng's face.

Snapped!

A light blue elixir suddenly jumped out of the cauldron. Under the control of his spiritual consciousness, it whirled and flew in front of Zhao Sheng, and fell into the prepared elixir bottle with a clang.

The second-level cold dove marrow elixir is ready!

With a thought in Zhao Sheng's mind, the eight fire vents immediately closed together, and the ground fire dispersed.

He stretched out his hand and made a move, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron flew from the alchemy platform in front of him.

Zhao Sheng lowered his head and looked into the cauldron, and saw a piece of burnt black medicine residue at the bottom of the medicine cauldron. There were two burnt pill pills mixed with black and blue in the medicine residue. At first glance, they were waste pills that had not yet been condensed!

Alas, it was only a little short after all!

Zhao Sheng shook his head and secretly thought it was a pity.

After thinking for a while, he took out the two useless pills from the tripod and put them in a jade box.

Even though it was a waste elixir, it was still of great research value, and Zhao Sheng was reluctant to throw it away in vain.

After doing this, Zhao Sheng sat up on the futon and meditated. While slowly recovering his mind, he secretly summarized his alchemy experience.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he opened his eyes and started refining the pill again.

The same steps, the same raw material powders, the same fire control techniques, but unfortunately, this time the problem lies in the second step, and the elixir base failed.

The reason for the failure was that the elixir was not processed properly and some impurities still remained.

This time, Zhao Sheng's face was expressionless. After adjusting his mental strength, he silently started the sixth furnace again.

Seven days flew by in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Sheng walked out of the passage under Sunset Peak with a calm expression. If any observant person saw him like this, they would definitely see a hint of joy and heartache under Zhao Sheng's seemingly calm expression.

I am happy because the success rate of the second-level cold dove marrow elixir has exceeded 40%, and the average number of calm elixirs produced is more than three.

As for the heartache.

The nearly fifty alchemy ingredients he prepared were all burned, and the cost exceeded 10,000 spirit stones.

In the end, he got only twenty-five Dove Marrow Pills, worth about three thousand spirit stones.

At this time, the armored man guarding the passage saw Zhao Sheng coming out of the passage. His expression was startled at first, but then he became excited in the blink of an eye.

"Congratulations, senior, for your further improvement in alchemy!" The big man emboldened himself and said congratulations.

Zhao Sheng stopped, flicked out a spiritual stone with his fingers, and accurately fell into the hands of the big man.

"Third level, the alchemist would send you here to guard the gate. It's really a bit condescending! Why don't you come over and follow me?"

Two years is neither short nor long.

It was enough for Zhao Sheng to realize how extraordinary the armored man was.

The armored man's real name is Li Sanchong. Although he is huge in stature and has a ferocious face, and his brain is not very bright, his eyesight is extremely amazing and he can be called a master of micro-expressions.

Zhao Sheng even knew that this person was a martial arts master and should be in the semi-divine realm, which was almost the same as his third life.

Such an outstanding martial arts master, even if he is not a cultivator, should not be reduced to a gatekeeper.

Zhao Sheng cherished talents, so he opened his mouth to recruit the other party.

Li Sanzhong clasped his fists and said seriously: "Thank you for your respect, senior. Sanzhong is very grateful. But I can't go with you. I was raised by my master since I was a child. Wherever the old man goes, I will go. Whatever he tells me to do, I will do." I listen to my master."

Zhao Sheng looked at the other person's serious expression, shook his head, and gave up the idea of ​​recruiting this person.

Li Sanzhong's master is a relative of a certain second-level alchemist from the Alchemist Association.

In other words, Li Sanzhong was probably sent here specifically, and his purpose was probably not simple. He should have some important responsibility.
