Ascension Through Generations

Five days later,

boom!

Suddenly there was a muffled sound in the alchemy room, and then the spiritual flames under the Nine Dragon Cauldron quickly converged and turned into a bright yellow fire dragon swimming back into the alchemy cauldron.

When the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, a burning smell came out from inside. The first alchemy failed because of the essence resonance in the penultimate step.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand, and a transparent water dragon as thick as an arm appeared out of thin air. With a swing of its body, it nimbly got into the cauldron and slowly washed away the interior of the Nine Dragon Cauldron under the control of his spiritual consciousness.

Hiss!

A large amount of white steam kept emerging from the alchemy furnace, filling the entire alchemy room in an instant.

Zhao Sheng was in no hurry to start refining the second furnace.

He closed his eyes and meditated, while using his kung fu to restore his spiritual and spiritual power, he repeatedly recalled the last time he made alchemy, and secretly summarized his experience in alchemy.

Two days later, Zhao Sheng returned to his peak condition.

Start a fire, warm the furnace, and put in the Thousand-striped Star Algae Fruit...

Although it was only the second time he refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, his series of actions seemed to have been done countless times, and he was extremely skilled.

As time passed, the number of elixirs in front of him gradually decreased, and he also emptied several bottles of marrow elixirs and other spirit-replenishing and powerful elixirs.

In the blink of an eye, seven days later.

The alchemy room was filled with hazy clouds, and there was a faint apple-like aroma floating in the air.

Zhao Sheng's eyes were bloodshot and he looked very excited. The movements of his hands were extremely steady, and the elixir technique was not messy at all.

As streaks of white light entered the alchemy cauldron, the burning gold spirit flame slowly retracted into the cauldron and turned into a fire dragon about a foot long. It circled a small ball of orange-red elixir liquid in the center of the cauldron, which was only as big as a grape, and carefully swam up, down, left and right. Move, thereby removing the last bit of "disharmonious" medicinal essence bit by bit.

Seeing that the Foundation Establishment Pill had reached the most critical stage of condensation, Zhao Sheng summoned up his remaining mental power and activated his bullet time talent and absolute rationality for the last time.

"Condensing Pill."

Time suddenly stretched countless times,

At the same time, Zhao Sheng's expression instantly became extremely calm, and his eyes were full of extreme indifference, as if he had lost all human emotions and desires such as nervousness, fatigue, excitement, etc., like a perfect humanoid machine.

In an instant, his mind was like lightning, his mind and body were united, and his consciousness reached an unprecedented level.

"Ningdan, released!"

Snapped!

The furnace cover of the Nine Dragon Cauldron was suddenly blown away, and a red light burst out from the furnace. After drawing a curved arc, it fell into Zhao Sheng's hands like lightning.

"It's done?!"

Seeing the burgundy-colored "shrunk" Foundation Establishment Pill that was only as big as a soybean lying in the palm of his hand, a thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Sheng's mind.

Time then returns to normal!

"Haha, it's really done."

His eyes slowly regained their vitality, and a bright and warm smile appeared on his face.

boom!

At this moment, his vision went dark, and a sharp pain suddenly hit his mind like a storm.

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng had a splitting headache and blue veins popped up on his face.

Seven days and seven nights of alchemy, using two talents in turns many times, had already excessively consumed his mental energy.

At this time, the Foundation Establishment Pill was released, and as soon as I relaxed, the sequelae suddenly broke out.

He only had time to swallow a bottle of the God-Returning Pill before he suddenly fainted.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Sheng slowly regained consciousness.

He covered his head and sat up from the ground. Although his head was still buzzing and painful, he felt countless times better than before.

At this time, Zhao Sheng was terrified.

When I was refining the elixir before, I didn't feel it because I was concentrating on refining the elixir. I didn't expect that the sequelae would be so severe afterwards.

This time he almost caused irreparable damage to his soul.

"Don't be so desperate in the future!"

Zhao Sheng warned himself secretly as he took out a bottle of nourishing pill and drank the whole bottle without even counting.

After closing his eyes and concentrating, exercising his energy and regulating his energy and mind, Zhao Sheng fully recovered after three days of rest.

Two days later, Zhao Sheng went over the previous two alchemy processes several times, found out the mistakes, summarized the previous experiences and lessons, and fine-tuned the weight of some elixirs, and then began to build Kidan's third refining.

In fact, the second alchemy was not a success in the strict sense. The soybean-sized Foundation Establishment Pill was not even of low-grade quality, and could only be regarded as the prototype of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

A normal Foundation Building Pill is as big as a grape, and the lower grade is pure red. The better the quality, the lighter the color.

The color of the top-grade Qianwen Foundation Building Pill is light pink, and the fragrance and medicinal power of the pill are completely restrained.

Fortunately, this time, Zhao Sheng has touched the threshold of success and almost completed the foundation building pill, so he is determined to win the third furnace.

Light up the fire and warm the furnace, add Thousand Striped Star Algae Fruit...

This is exactly the same as the last time. The only difference is that his technique seems to be getting more and more proficient, and his movements are more precise and stable than last time.

Generally speaking, an alchemist's achievements are directly proportional to his level of cultivation.

It is difficult for alchemists in the Qi Refining Realm to be promoted to the second-level alchemy master. This is not only because their cultivation and energy cannot meet the standards for refining second-level elixirs, but more importantly, the immortal cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm have not developed spiritual consciousness and cannot If you can intuitively see the various alchemy reactions in the alchemy furnace, of course you won't be able to react in time.

Of course, Zhao Sheng is already at the fifth level of foundation building.

After taking the Qiong Ling Jade Liquid, his mental power was much stronger than that of monks of the same level. Not to mention the scope, strength and control accuracy of the consciousness, it is no less than the later stage of foundation building.

With the experience accumulated in the previous two times, Zhao Sheng's refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill this time was smoother than the previous time, and there were fewer risks of losing control and fewer hurdles during the pill refining.

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed, and the alchemy room was once again filled with the fragrance of alchemy.

Seeing that it was the last moment, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but become nervous, so much so that he activated two major talents twice in a row.

With the blessing of talent, the final process of condensing the pill went extremely smoothly.

boom!

Finally, the Nine Dragon Cauldron made a buzzing sound, and the gold-burning spiritual flames retracted into the fire hole of the cauldron wall.

Then the stove lid flew up, and waves of refreshing apple-flavored redolent fragrance couldn't stop emanating from the stove.

"It's done, it's really done this time!"

Zhao Sheng couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He stretched out his hand and two wine-red elixirs as big as grapes suddenly jumped out of the elixir furnace and flew into his palm at high speed.

Although these two spiritual elixirs are only the lowest-grade foundation-building elixirs, their significance is very important. It means that Zhao has become a very rare true second-level foundation-building alchemist.

From this day on, his status in the Spring and Autumn Alliance will inevitably rise sharply, and he will inevitably become a highly sought-after "quasi-master" of Alchemy on Jiuzhen Island.

It took a full quarter of an hour before Zhao Sheng's mood completely returned to calm.

When he put away the elixir, fatigue hit his body.

After nearly twenty days of hard alchemy, Zhao Sheng was so exhausted that he simply fell asleep in the alchemy room.

This sleep lasted for two whole days and one night.

When he woke up again, his energy had been restored. Zhao Sheng counted the time and found that it was just one day to one month.

Now that the Foundation Establishment Pill has been refined, he doesn't waste time here.

Zhao Sheng got up and left the alchemy room, and then went to the spiritual field to release a few spiritual rain spells. After seeing that the elixirs in the ground were growing vigorously and in good condition, he tidied up his appearance, changed into a brand new robe, and left Bei Mansion. Dongtian left.

…

Two days later, Zhao Sheng returned to Zhenyao Pavilion and talked secretly with Jin Dancheng for half an hour.

After he left, Jin Dancheng smiled happily, completely losing the sadness that the store was about to close down.

Seeing this, his subordinates asked him what made him so happy. Jin Dancheng just smiled mysteriously but said nothing.

On the other side, the Hongguang Building on the White Island once again welcomed a mysterious guest.

Hong Yuanliang, the shopkeeper of Hongguang Tower, was the same Yajian they met last time. When he saw Zhao Sheng's "unhappy" expression, he subconsciously concluded that his alchemy this time must have failed.

Judgment based on normal people’s thinking. If an alchemist wants to make a foundation-building pill and fails ten or eight times, it is not called a failure.

There is no true Foundation-Building Alchemist who was not made from a mountain of spiritual stones.

However, Hong Yuanliang never expected that the person in front of him was a "chosen person." They were just lying to him.

"Fellow Taoist Dragon and Li, there is no need to be discouraged. Foundation Building Pills are not easy to make." Hong Yuanliang comforted Zhao Sheng dryly and then suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, I wonder why my friend came to my place today?"

Zhao Sheng calmed down his "frustrated" expression and said firmly: "I want to try a few more times. I don't know if the half-hearted words that Daoist Fellow Hong said last time are true."

Hong Yuanliang said confidently: "Seriously, Hong never lies. Not only do I have Thousand Striped Star Algae Fruit here, I also have all other auxiliary medicines. How many copies do you want? Do you want it prepared or raw?" "

"Three Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruits, and three other elixirs. I can't believe those concocted by others, as long as they are original. How many spiritual stones are there in total?" Zhao Sheng said immediately.

"A total of 21,000 spirit stones! Just give me 20,000 spirit stones, and I won't take any change." Hong Yuanliang said without hesitation.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Hong and Pingdao have taken note of this situation. Allow me to report it later."

With that said, Zhao Sheng took out a small pile of spiritual stones from his storage bag and poured them on the table.

Sensing the pure Yin spiritual energy emanating from the spirit stone, Hong Yuanliang's eyes widened suddenly and he said in surprise: "Pure Yin spirit stone? What a good thing! Fellow Taoist, are you willing to give it up?"

"After all, it's just a spiritual stone. There's nothing to be reluctant to part with." Zhao Sheng said lightly.

Spirit stones have attributes, divided into five elements of yin and yang. Spirit stones with yin and yang attributes are especially rare. The price of the same level is generally three to eight times higher than ordinary five element spirit stones.

The high price is second, the key is that there is a price but no market.

Zhao Sheng used the pure Yin spirit stone to pay the bill, which not only showed his financial strength, but also meant to return the favor.

With this move alone, Hong Yuanliang couldn't help but admire him with admiration. He once again raised his evaluation of him and truly included him in the list of key customers.

After Hong Yuanliang put away the spirit stone, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "I almost forgot. Fellow Taoist, don't you want to buy one yuan of heavy water? We have just transported some from the mountain gate. I wonder how many drops you want?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he immediately responded: "The more, the merrier!"

"One yuan of heavy water is very valuable. A drop of spiritual water weighing a thousand pounds is worth at least ten thousand spiritual stones, without any counter-offer. After five drops, the spiritual stones will not be accepted and must be exchanged for equal treasures."

Hong Yuanliang said it very seriously, but when Zhao Sheng took out a stack of second-level hemolysis talismans from the storage bag, he suddenly became moved and excited.

"Fellow Taoist Dragon Li, you told me you had this thing. Maybe I can get more one yuan of heavy water."

In the Blood Demon Sect, the second-level blood-dissolving talisman is hard currency.

Because there are too many immortal cultivators who have practiced the "Blood Soul Sutra", the supply of hemolysis talismans that can accelerate the dissolution of blood essence is always in short supply, and the second-level hemolysis talismans are even less. Each one will cause a rush for blood cultivators in the foundation building realm.

Despite his previous experience, Zhao Sheng still felt a little surprised when he saw Hong Yuanliang being so excited.

Seeing this situation, he felt relieved and said proudly: "First come five drops of spiritual water. The following ones will be exchanged for blood-dissolving talismans. How many drops will be exchanged for one drop?"

Hong Yuanliang asked wisely: "I have a total of eighteen drops of one-yuan heavy water. At least thirty pieces are exchanged for one drop. How many hemolysis talismans do fellow Taoists have in their hands?"

"Fifteen cards for one drop, exchange for three drops. If the transaction is completed, there will be more in the future."

"make a deal!"

"..."

After two cups of tea, Hong Yuanliang, whose face was glowing, enthusiastically walked Zhao Sheng to the door. After watching him leave, he returned to the Hongguang Building with a happy face.

Two days later, a news suddenly spread throughout Danhuofang that Zhenyao Pavilion would be temporarily closed for a period of time. As for when it would open, the time was uncertain.

After hearing the news, a thoughtful person immediately ran to Ge Chen to "report the good news."

After learning that Zhenyao Pavilion was closed, Ge Chen was not only not happy, but also frowned even more.

At this time, he seemed to have an empty feeling as if he had punched nothing. He felt that his opponent fell down before he even exerted any force. This was completely different from what he thought.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Ge Chen immediately ordered his surroundings, "Go find out what the man named Zhao is doing in the past few days. You must find out clearly."

His subordinates followed the order and left, with a look of jealousy on Ge Chen's face.

However, a month passed, and Zhao Sheng's cave was tightly closed and never opened.

He might be practicing hard in seclusion, or he might be traveling, or he might deliberately disguise himself to avoid Ge Chen's sight.

But I dare not think of any possibility, they all express the same meaning, Zhao Sheng temporarily "disappeared" from everyone's sight. .

…

Half a year later, the Spring and Autumn League Merit Hall.

"This spiritual island is Fengwei Island. This island is only sixty or seventy miles in size, and its population is only a few thousand, all of them miners and their families. There is a Fengxue Stone mine near Fengyou Island, so ten people were sent to There is a Qi Refining Manager, and in addition there must be a Foundation Establishment Monk to guard you. Zhao Keqing, what do you think of this place?"

On the second floor of Merit Hall, a middle-aged foundation-building elder said in a gentle tone.

Zhao Sheng said nothing. He knew that since the other party dared to introduce this place to him, he must have thought carefully.

He is very familiar with spiritual materials such as Phoenix Blood Stone. Phoenix blood stone is of very high grade, and its output in the Broken Star Sea is very low. It is usually used to make high-grade spiritual ink.

Zhao Sheng is very satisfied with this task.

Being a guest minister in the Spring and Autumn League means not only getting a salary but not doing anything, you also have to perform a guest minister task for the league every year.

You can choose the type and difficulty of the tasks, but most of them are rich in rewards.

Due to Zhao Sheng's request, the middle-aged foundation builder specially selected such a "leisure" task.

He might as well be guarding the Phoenix Blood Mine, and he would "luckily accept" a few Phoenix Blood Stones by the way. Anyway, as long as you don't go too far. The alliance usually turns a blind eye.
