Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

After returning to the cave, he began to carefully observe the recipe of the Wujindan.

To refine the Wujindan, the main material is the Seven-Colored Golden Light Ganoderma, and several other common first-grade inferior spiritual medicines are used as auxiliary medicines.

Although the Seven-Colored Golden Light Ganoderma is also a first-grade inferior spiritual medicine, it has to grow in a place with rich golden spiritual energy, and its growth environment is relatively harsh, so it is still relatively rare.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan got a few seeds of the Seven-Colored Golden Light Ganoderma in Saibian City, and he has cultivated a lot of them in the meditation space.

After comprehending the recipe, he began to try to refine the Wujindan.

The refining process of the Wujindan is more complicated than that of ordinary elixirs. He needs to be familiar with controlling the golden medicinal power of the Seven-Colored Golden Light Ganoderma.

Put the Seven-Colored Golden Light Ganoderma into the alchemy furnace and use fire essence to calcine it into a liquid state.

This step is very cumbersome. If you don’t have a strong enough spiritual consciousness, you can’t complete it at all.

And if you fail to refine the golden elixir, the alchemy furnace will explode.

The alchemist would be injured or even killed.

Therefore, there are few alchemists willing to refine gold-attributed elixirs.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan has a spiritual power that surpasses that of cultivators of the same level, and he is also a foundation-building body cultivator, so he is not afraid.

During the trial, he constantly controlled the temperature and used his spiritual sense to detect the condition of the liquid medicine in the furnace.

The golden medicinal power was gradually decomposed and gradually formed a thick medicinal slurry.

He controlled the eight-flame fire essence to keep the flame temperature balanced so that the medicinal slurry could bear the power of the fire essence.

"Puff..."

Zhang Xuan's spiritual sense detected that the golden medicinal power in the furnace became disordered.

"No, it's going to explode..."

Zhang Xuan's face suddenly changed.

But it was too late.

A loud "boom!" sound came from the furnace, and the whole furnace exploded.

For a moment, countless sparks flew out, and Zhang Xuan's figure was submerged in it.

"Puff..."

Zhang Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, and a trace of pain appeared on his face.

Fortunately, his body was extremely strong, and this impact did not cause any substantial damage to him.

The first furnace failed.

Zhang Xuan tried another furnace, and after boiling it into a medicinal slurry, the golden medicinal power suddenly became disordered and the furnace exploded.

He did not have the body of the original elixir, and he could not directly inject the elixir energy into the elixir furnace like Wei Ruyan to protect the elixir.

His eyes were fixed on the medicinal slurry stuck on the broken elixir furnace.

"No, we must find a way to stabilize the golden spiritual medicine as soon as possible."

Zhang Xuan thought to himself.

The golden spiritual medicine has the aura of the most golden, and it will produce a strong resistance during the refining process.

To control this medicinal property, special means can only be taken.

Zhang Xuan thought of the method of hammering.

"Why did you forget this..."

Zhang Xuan laughed and took out his broken weapon hammer.

This time Zhang Xuan did not use the fire refining method directly.

He swung the Weapon-Breaking Hammer and smashed it at the colorful golden light.

"Bang——"

With one hammer, the golden medicinal power spread out.

Zhang Xuan immediately used the Heavenly Demon Refining Spirit Technique.

A virtual tripod surrounded the scattered medicinal power.

He swung the Weapon-Breaking Hammer and smashed it again.

He also threw in several other auxiliary medicines.

Soon, these spiritual medicines were smashed into a ball of medicine slurry.

Hammer control is much easier than fire control.

Whenever the golden medicinal power in the medicine slurry is disordered, he smashes it with a hammer.

These golden medicinal powers are obedient.

After smashing hundreds of hammers, the golden medicinal power has already appeared.

"It's almost done now."

Zhang Xuan put a ball of thick medicine slurry into the alchemy furnace.

The eight flames of fire below began to refine the elixir at high temperature.

The alchemy furnace kept rotating.

The thick medicine slurry began to gradually condense into elixir.

"Bang——"

The cauldron exploded again.

The furnace temperature was too high.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan had quite a few alchemy furnaces on hand.

These were all taken from Jiuding Lake Market.

The things in his own shop were all at cost price, so he didn't feel bad.

He kept trying several times later.

Either the furnace temperature was too high or too low.

"The 30th furnace, this time must succeed."

Zhang Xuan had failed 29 times before.

Fortunately, he had a meditation space, and even rare golden spiritual medicines such as the Seven-Colored Golden Light Ganoderma were not lacking.

This gave him a lot of opportunities to practice.

Moreover, in the Bone Desert Illusion, he also learned and improved the hammer quenching method from the Taoist Jimao.

All of these greatly helped him to practice alchemy.

If there was no hammer quenching method, even if he practiced for a hundred times, he might not succeed.

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

He made every step of alchemy foolproof.

Soon, the raw pill came out of the furnace.

"Open the furnace!"

Five pills flew out.

Zhang Xuan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and took all five pills into his hands.

In theory, the Black Gold Pill has been successfully refined.

However, Zhang Xuan still wants to produce a golden pill.

He turned fire into silk, and five strands of fire silk drilled into five pills.

He began to open the gold veins.

At the same time, he smashed down with the Weapon Breaking Hammer to refine the essence of the pill.

In the previous few times, he used the hammer quenching method and could harvest a Qi-recovering golden pill in each furnace.

The Black Gold Pill is also a first-level low-grade pill, and he hopes to produce another golden pill.

However, it seems that his alchemy comprehension is suitable for refining Qi-recovering golden pills.

He tried several furnaces of Black Gold Pills in a row, but all ended in failure.

Either the essence of the pill was not extracted pure enough, or the gold veins could not be connected.

"It seems that I still lack a bit of luck!" Zhang Xuan sighed.

Since he couldn't refine the golden elixir, Zhang Xuan simply opened the furnace to refine a batch of ordinary black gold elixir.

Refining black gold elixir is also a process of practice makes perfect.

At the beginning, he could only refine five black gold elixir per furnace, but later he could refine ten per furnace.

Ten days passed without getting tired of it.

"Master, we are back."

Zhang Dawu's voice sounded outside the cave.

Zhang Xuan put away the alchemy furnace and walked out of the cave.

Seeing Zhang Dawu, everyone stood outside with a smile on their faces.

"Did you encounter any danger on the road this time?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"It wasn't dangerous. We just encountered some monsters on the way there, which caused a few casualties. However, all the members of our dung-collecting team returned safely."

"That's good. How was the harvest this time?"

Zhang Dawu said with a silly smile: "This time, each of us brought 20 storage bags, more than 200 people, and the amount of Black Lake Mud we brought back was more than seven or eight times that of the first batch."

"What about the other elders and strong branches?"

"They harvested more, probably more than ten times. The Black Lake of the Barrier is really big. They have brought back so much Black Lake Mud, and the Black Lake of the Barrier has not been reduced."

"You take a rest for a day. It will be my turn to lead the team in a day. After this time, we in the Fairy Cat Valley will never go to the Black Lake of the Barrier to get Black Lake Mud again."

"Understood."

Zhang Xuan thought that he was missing an important thing on his trip to the Black Lake of the Barrier - a large space storage bag.

He thought of the storage ring in Hong Yaoyue's hand, which could actually hold such a large cross-domain flying boat.

"It would be great if I had such a storage ring."

Zhang Xuan was a little envious.

The storage ring has a huge space. If it is used to transport the black mud, it will probably be enough for his own spiritual medicine field to use for decades at a time.
