Fairy Tree

The excitement on Xiao Lin's face instantly turned into frustration. He stared at the liquid that had exploded into dregs and stopped spinning, and remained silent for a long time.

After a full hour, Xiao Lin sighed softly and showed a bitter smile.

Although he had already expected the result of the failure in refining the Five Elements Pill for the first time, seeing that he fell short just before success still filled him with frustration.

In Xiao Lin's view, he spent this period of time studying the alchemy notes left by Uncle Tao, especially the refining of the five elements elixir, which he read dozens of times, and every time he read it, he would Take some time to reflect on it.

Moreover, during the process of refining the Water Spirit Pill, he followed the steps recorded in the handbook, taking every step with great care. He even compared the heat of each medicinal ingredient with the description in the handbook.

But even so, it failed in the end.

Xiao Lin stared at the alchemy furnace, but he was thinking hard in his mind.

The steps of alchemy recorded in the alchemy handbook were once again retrieved from Xiao Lin's mind, and he began to understand every step and every detail in detail.

A little while later, Xiao Lin started alchemy again after cleaning up the remaining liquid in the alchemy furnace.

...

Two days later, Xiao Lin walked out of the alchemy room with a frustrated face. He first went to the spiritual field, used the Water Control Technique to water all the spiritual plants, and checked that the spiritual plants were growing well before returning again. He entered the alchemy room and continued on the road to alchemy.

In the next ten days, Xiao Lin could be seen listlessly watering the spiritual grass in the spiritual field early every morning. Once, because he was distracted, a small patch of spiritual mist grass was almost flooded.

This made Xiao Lin very nervous. The spiritual grass in this spiritual field is the treasure of Uncle Tao, so there must be no mistakes. The spiritual mist grass is okay, but if the very few Five Elements spiritual grass is lost due to his own fault, And if something unexpected happens, then I am afraid that I will really be severely punished.

After spending more than an hour loosening the soil of the Lingwu grass that was almost flooded, shoveling some soil and cultivating it again, Xiao Lin entered the alchemy room again.

In addition to taking out some dried meat from the storage bag once a day to fill his stomach and irrigating the spiritual field, Xiao Lin spent all his time on alchemy. Even at the meal stall, he was thinking about the process of alchemy.

What makes Xiao Lin depressed is that he has refined dozens of furnaces of the Five Elements Spiritual Pill, but every time he fails to break it at the critical moment when the pill is ready, which almost drives him crazy.

I thought that with my experience in refining the Soul-Yun Dan and the Yuan-Hui Dan, refining the Five Elements elixir might have some twists and turns, but it shouldn’t be too difficult. However, the fact is that the refining of the Five Elements elixir is much more difficult than the refining of the Five Elements elixir. First-level elixirs such as Yun Ling Dan are at least several times more difficult.

This is why Uncle Tao confidently handed over the task of refining the Spiritual Preservation Pill to him and Xiao Yishao, but he never mentioned the refining of the Five Elements Spiritual Pill.

In her opinion, it would be extremely difficult for Xiao Lin and Xiao Yishao to refine the Five Elements Spiritual Pill at their level. Moreover, even if Tao Ling was a true disciple, there would not be enough Five Elements Spiritual Herb for the two of them. Go and squander.

Moreover, Xiao Lin also knew very well that although Tao Ling was in charge of this spiritual field, he had to pay a certain amount of finished spiritual pills every month, otherwise Master Tao's authority to control this spiritual field would not be guaranteed. .

Of course, whoever is in charge of this spiritual field has nothing to do with Xiao Lin. As long as he can study the art of alchemy in peace, he will be satisfied.

The days of alchemy were full and boring, but Xiao Lin's days of alchemy were full of bitterness. Watching furnaces of elixirs explode in front of him, the frustration almost destroyed his confidence in alchemy. Xiao Lin even failed to do so more than once. Ask yourself after failing to make an elixir.

Is it because I don’t have the talent for alchemy at all? But obviously no one would answer him. Even in Tao Ling's alchemy secrets, she only recorded some of the process and details of the alchemy, but not the number of times she failed and her mood after the failure.

Xiao Lin didn't realize it before, but after experiencing the dark days of alchemy, Xiao Lin finally understood the difficulty of becoming an alchemist. There were thousands of Qi Refining Stage outer disciples on Dancao Mountain and hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage disciples. Inner sect disciples, this does not include those outer sect deacons and elders in the foundation building period.

Among these people, there are only twenty or thirty people who actually have the qualifications of alchemists. Among the inner disciples in the foundation building period, the probability is about one in twenty.

Thinking about this probability, Xiao Lin can roughly understand why it is so difficult to refine the five elements elixir.

In Dancao Mountain, only second-level alchemists who can refine the Five Elements Spiritual Pill and have a success rate of more than 40% are called alchemists. The so-called first-level alchemist is Xiao Lin's level, which is not the case in Dancao Mountain. He is called an alchemist, but an alchemist boy.

Most of the benefits of the Spirit-enhancing Pills distributed monthly to the outer disciples in the Qi Refining Period in Dancao Mountain come from the hands of the alchemy boys who work under the twenty or thirty alchemy masters.

As for the five-element elixirs required for monks in the foundation-building stage to practice, they are all made by these twenty or thirty alchemists, without exception.

Even Xiao Lin, Senior Brother Xiao, who claimed to have the talent for alchemy, was unable to refine the Five Elements elixir.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a little better, cheered up, entered the alchemy room again, and began the arduous journey of alchemy.

...

On this day, Xiao Lin was sitting in the alchemy room, looking calmly at the green elixir in his palm.

There were seven or eight jade vases placed beside him. Only one of these jade vases contained the five water elixirs that Xiao Lin had just refined today, while the rest of the jade vases contained the five water elixirs that Xiao Lin had just refined today. Since then, I have taken the time to refine the Yunling Pill.

Two months have passed since the day when Xiao Lin started refining the elixir, and it was not until today that Xiao Lin refined the first batch of water elixir.

After experiencing countless failures, Xiao Lin's mood had long been neither sad nor happy. Even the moment he refined the water elixir, the feeling of joy was fleeting.

Gently put the Water Spirit Pill in the palm of your hand into your mouth. The Water Spirit Pill melts in your mouth and turns into a stream of clear water that flows down the throat and enters the body. After entering the body, it immediately turns into a coolness and penetrates into Xiao Lin's body. In the meridians.

As soon as he entered the meridians, Xiao Lin felt that the meridians were filled with pure spiritual power in an instant, and the meridians in his body suddenly began to hurt.

Xiao Lin's expression changed, and he quickly closed his eyes. He recited the formula of the Eighth Level Dry Water Sutra silently in his heart. Soon, his whole body was covered in a layer of misty water vapor, and his five senses were also in the process of cultivation. gradually closed.

Early the next morning, the door of the alchemy room opened, and Xiao Lin walked out of the alchemy room refreshed. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the fairy mountain in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.

After a whole night of practice, the long-lost feeling of rapid improvement in cultivation reappeared. Water Spirit Pill is indeed a second-level spirit pill. Compared with Yunling Pill, both the quantity and quality of spiritual energy are at least ten times stronger. above.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Lin spent a whole night to completely refine the water spirit pill and turn it into pure mana flowing in the dantian.

Sitting on a bluestone next to the spiritual field, Xiao Lin propped his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

Through these two months of alchemy, Xiao Lin's attainments in alchemy have undoubtedly deepened a lot. The water elixir he refined is no accident, but a natural result after his alchemy skills have reached a certain level.

Although he is still unable to reach a 40% elixir formation rate, in his opinion, a 10% or 20% elixir formation rate is not a big problem. However, he does not have much Five Elements Spirit Grass left on his body, and the Fire Scale Fruit is even less. There are only three poor ones left.

Fortunately, the fire scale fruits in the spirit wood space will mature very quickly, and they should be ready for harvest in only ten days and a half.

Xiao Lin is very clear that with his current elixir-forming rate, the spiritual grass growing in the spirit wood space may not be enough to sustain his practice. However, as he refines more and more Five Elements elixirs, the elixir-forming rate will definitely increase. With some improvement, it should be able to reach a balance with the growth rate of the spiritual grass in the spiritual wood space.

After irrigating the spiritual field, Xiao Lin entered the alchemy room again. After closing the door, he meditated and entered the spiritual tree space.

Looking at the four-leaf grass exuding a gray mist in front of him, Xiao Lin smiled. These four-leaf grass exuding a misty gray mist were the dust-cleansing grass planted by Xiao Lin.

Next to the dust-cleaning grass, the Purple Spirit Flower has already produced a bunch of thumb-sized purple fruits, and it also exudes a sweet smell.

The purple spirit flower he picked from the spiritual spring in the underground cave has reached the limit of the growth of a second-level spiritual flower and has begun to bear fruit.

Looking at the various spiritual grasses and flowers growing in his spiritual wood space, Xiao Lin showed a look of satisfaction on his face. After a while, he came to the sapling and stared at the small leaf on the top of the sapling. After watching for a while, he flicked out of the spirit wood space again.

...

Xiao Lin started a life of hard training in Dancao Mountain, which was boring but extremely fulfilling.

That Senior Brother Xiao "disappeared" completely after he came several times to confirm that Xiao Lin was fully qualified for the task of refining the Spirit-Absorbing Pill.

Xiao Lin was also happy to be clean, and the refined Water Spirit Pill was swallowed by him to practice the Dry Water Scripture. And half a month later, Xiao Lin once again harvested a batch of second-level spirits from the spirit tree space. He entered the alchemy room again and began to refine the five elements elixir.

After the last success, Xiao Lin's elixir-forming rate has indeed improved greatly. He can form at least one elixir every ten batches. And every time he refines a batch of five-element elixir, Xiao Lin will swallow it directly for practice.

As a result, the refined Five Elements Spiritual Pill is barely enough, at least one pill every two or three days is still available, and with Xiao Lin's current cultivation level at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he can swallow one Five Elements Spiritual Pill every day. It's already the limit.

Three months later, Xiao Lin's success rate in refining the Five Elements elixir reached 20%. This suddenly made Xiao Lin rich and he no longer had to live a hard life.

Although the days of cultivation are boring, they pass quickly. One year passes in the blink of an eye.
