I Shall Seal the Heavens

Time flies, and two months later, it is still the valley of Jiayi, but it is not relying on the stream, but under the mountain peak on the inner side of the valley, there is a winding path leading to the mountain.

There, there is a cave. The stone gate of this cave is blue, surrounded by clouds and mist. Standing here, you can overlook the valleys. Not only is the aura stronger, there is even a fire vein in the mountainside that is guided by powerful people.

This place is the cave that Meng Hao was bestowed by the sect after he became an alchemist.

Only alchemists can live on the mountainside, separated from the medicine boys in the valley, enjoy the treatment that the sect treats alchemists, and even have the medicine boys as assistants, and even a lot of pills and herbs, the sect will provide them for a fee.

The only thing that needs to be done is to turn in a certain amount of elixir every month.

However, if you want to obtain some rare medicinal herbs and elixirs, you need to turn in more elixir to the sect. In short, the more you have, the more you can gain from the sect.

Even after becoming an alchemist, alchemists can exchange things with each other. In short, all actions are to make oneself more proficient in alchemy, and the quality of the alchemy produced is higher.

On this day, there was a roaring sound in Meng Hao's cave. Even if the stone gate blocked the sound, the sound could be heard far away. However, none of the medicine boys in the valley below dared to say anything. They just looked up at Meng Hao's cave with helplessness and envy.

In the past two months, since Meng Hao became an alchemist, such roars have been heard from time to time.

In the cave mansion, Meng Hao was ashamed, looked at the pill furnace that exploded in front of him with a wry smile, sighed, flicked his sleeves, put away the fragments of the pill furnace and the discarded medicine residue, and sat cross-legged on the stone platform beside him, frowning.

"Alchemy is not an easy task, especially if the control of the ground fire is a little off, the pill will be useless at the slightest, and the furnace will collapse if it is serious. In the past two months, forty-seven furnaces have been blown up..." Meng Hao was wearing a blue robe. There is a small alchemy furnace embroidered on the cuffs. This suit represents his alchemist status.

"However, it's much better now, and it usually takes three or two days to blow up one." Meng Hao looked sideways at the seven or eight pill bottles beside him, with a hint of relief in his eyes. The pills in these pill bottles were all made by him in the past two months. Although they were all needed for Qi Condensation, the feeling of making them by himself made Meng Hao very happy.

"Alchemy is not easy. It has to do with aptitude. But more importantly... this alchemy. It is really too expensive, no wonder there are few alchemists..." Meng Hao's expression showed emotion. He didn't have these feelings when he was in Yaotong. Even when he was following Li Tao, all he saw was the respect of outsiders, and every time Li Tao made alchemy for inner disciples, he gained something.

But after becoming an alchemist,

Only then did he discover that behind every successful alchemist, there is a mountain of spirit stones consumed, so that they can be cultivated, which still requires qualifications. If you don't have the qualifications or are ordinary, then to become an alchemist, the spirit stones you need can bankrupt a small sect.

"One pill furnace needs 20,000 spirit stones... This is still the lowest level pill furnace in the sect, and now I have blasted 47 of them..." Meng Hao thought of this. Even though he didn't need to spend money on this alchemy furnace, he still felt distressed.

"The alchemy furnace is just one aspect. The herbs needed for alchemy are even more expensive. Often dozens of herbs are added together, which are worth a lot, but these are nothing. The really terrible thing is... the possibility of successful refining is not even once in ten times..." Thinking of this, Meng Hao took a long breath.

"The more precious the medicinal herbs, the older the elixir formula, and the higher the quality of the elixir, the more failures there will be." Meng Hao murmured emotionally.

"However, after becoming an alchemist, there are corresponding special features, such as this token." Meng Hao raised his right hand and patted on the storage bag, and a white token appeared in his hand immediately.

Holding this token in his hand, it was cold, like jade but not jade. On the front was carved a pill furnace, and on the back was written a vigorous and powerful "Forbidden" character.

"Forbidden Pill Order!" Meng Hao looked at the token with a strange light in his eyes. This is not the first time he has played with this token in two months, but every time he sees it, he will feel respect for the alchemist's status in his heart.

This is a forbidden alchemy order. This order will be issued by the sect after every drug boy becomes an alchemist. There is only one order in his life, and one order can be used twice. Every time he uses it, the alchemist's dignity will be displayed to the extreme, which is enough to shock the disciples of Ziqi.

It can even be said that there are many reasons why the alchemist has a high status in the Purple Fortune Sect, and it is precisely because of the ban on alchemy. This order is a powerful deterrent to many people.

Because the forbidden alchemy order has only one function, once it is used, it can make a certain inner disciple of the Ziqi lineage not have any alchemist to make alchemy for him within a hundred years, which is equivalent to adding him to the list of forbidden alchemy.

This order has been in existence for thousands of years. It is the rule of Ziyunzong, and it is unique to the Dandong lineage.

No one is willing to offend alchemists too much, offending one alchemist, so the existence of Ling will be tantamount to offending all alchemists.

But throughout the ages, in the last millennium, not many alchemists have really used this right. Calculated, in the list of forbidden alchemists, there were only a few hundred people at the most in the millennium. Compared with the tens of thousands of inner disciples, it is really not many.

After all, for alchemists, this order is the most deterrent if it is not used. Once it is used twice, the deterrence will naturally disappear.

The names of all those who have been banned from alchemy for a hundred years are imprinted on this banning order. Meng Hao became an alchemist. While enjoying this privilege, he must also fulfill his respect for this token as an alchemist. The thirteen people here are those who have been banned by thirteen alchemists in the past hundred years. Here, Meng Hao, when these people's names are on the list of banned alchemists, he is not allowed to make alchemy for these thirteen people.

After looking at the Forbidden Pill Order, Meng Hao put it away, pondered for a while, and took out another jade slip. After being branded inside, he flung it out. The jade slip burned in mid-air and disappeared in an instant.

Not long after, a voice came from outside the cave. Meng Hao raised a finger with his right hand, and immediately the gate of the cave opened. A young girl walked in from outside.

"Pill Master Fang, I was still wondering yesterday why you haven't changed the pill stove for several days..." the girl said, took out a brand new pill stove from the storage bag, and handed it to Meng Hao with a smile.

The girl's name is Lin Rui. She is in charge of the daily needs of all the alchemists. Although her cultivation level is not high, it is said that her ancestor is a certain alchemist of Zilu. In addition, this girl is not annoying on weekdays. There are even some alchemists who love this girl. Over time, all the alchemists need are sent by this girl.

Like Meng Hao here, she has been here for the past two months. It has been forty-six times. Today is the forty-seventh time.

Meng Hao coughed dryly. Feeling a little embarrassed, after taking away the alchemy stove, the girl handed over a jade slip.

"How much do I owe?" Meng Hao glanced at Yujian with a sad face.

"Including today's one. A total of 6,758 qi condensing pills need to be handed over to the sect." The girl blinked, covered her mouth with a smile, and continued to say something as if comforting.

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't owe much, the most you owe is 1.73 million, I guess... you will have to practice alchemy in this life..."

Hearing this number, Meng Hao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and sighed with a wry smile, becoming a queen alchemist. Pill furnace, medicinal herbs, and pill recipes do not need to spend money, as many sects can give them as needed. But it's not that he didn't pay, but he compensated by refining the elixir. Fortunately, he can pay on credit... After Meng Hao took the jade slip and branded it, he handed it to the girl.

"Alchemist Fang has to work hard. Well... the time to pay the pills this time is over. Do you think it's time to take out some more, so I can explain it." Lin Rui smiled like a flower, no wonder she was like this. Among the alchemists of the Dandong lineage, in her opinion, this Fang Mu was the youngest in front of her. Every time she came here, she had to tease her, especially the blushing and shy look of Fang Mu, which made the girl more interested.

Meng Hao sighed, picked up a pill bottle next to him, which contained five Qi Condensing Pills, and handed it to the girl. This was the first time he handed over the pills.

The girl covered her mouth with a smile and left with the pill bottle. Meng Hao watched the girl off, and as the cave door closed, he picked up the pill stove and sighed again.

"I can't go on like this, but based on my level of alchemy, I haven't had any inner disciples from Ziqi's lineage come to me to make alchemy in the past two months, so there is no way to make money, and there is no way to obtain different alchemy recipes in this way." When Meng Hao followed Li Tao, he also read a lot about how alchemists practice.

The most important point is to be invited to make alchemy by inner disciples of the Ziqi lineage. In this way, you can get in touch with different alchemy recipes. The more you invite, the more alchemy recipes you will contact.

As for the deduction, it has become a rule, and it is hard for Ziqi to say anything about it.

Meng Hao took a deep breath, put down the alchemy stove, took the medicine bottles around him, opened them one by one, and looked at the pills inside. These pills were all round and exuded spiritual energy. Meng Hao looked at it and slowly frowned.

"Could it be that my refining method is wrong, otherwise, why has it been extremely exhausting to make alchemy every time for the past two months, but I think Li Tao's alchemy is much easier." Meng Hao got up in deep thought, and after walking around the cave for a few laps, he stopped and his eyes flashed.

When he raised his right hand, the alchemy furnace came from the air, his eyes were bright, and he patted the storage bag, and more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs flew out. He moved quickly with both hands, sometimes catalyzing, sometimes taking leaves, sometimes refining juice, that is more than ten breaths of time, under one slap, all these herbs were integrated into the alchemy furnace.

Lifting his right foot and stepping on the ground lightly, immediately the ground in front of him was instantly red. When the heat was overwhelming, the alchemy furnace was hanging three inches above the red floor tiles. As Meng Hao continued to play the formulas, the alchemy furnace was sometimes raised and sometimes lowered, and bursts of medicinal fragrance spread.

The moment the medicinal fragrance radiated, Meng Hao sat down cross-legged, raised his right hand and pressed it on the alchemy stove. When he closed his eyes, spiritual energy emerged in his body and began to catalyze.

This catalysis, Meng Hao knew when he was following Li Tao, its key role is not only to catalyze the meticulous aging of the medicine, but more... it is needed for alchemy.

From time to time, Meng Hao's eyes flickered to adjust according to the changes in the alchemy furnace, adding herbs or taking out residues. In the past, it took Meng Hao at least five or six hours to make alchemy, but this time, he only lasted for two hours. With a flash of his eyes, he retracted his right hand, swung his sleeve, and moved the alchemy furnace away from the red floor tiles. When the alchemy cover moved, and the fragrance of the medicine hit his face, Meng Hao took out four condensing pills from the alchemy furnace.

The four elixirs were soft at first, but after they were taken out, they formed quickly. When Meng Hao held them in front of his eyes, they were already dry.

"I was wrong..." Meng Hao carefully looked at the elixir that he had crudely refined in front of him, and took the Qi Condensing Pill that he had painstakingly refined from the medicine bottle beside him. Comparing the two, his eyes revealed enlightenment.

"The elixir refined by me, which makes me feel tired, is obviously much more effective. It can reach 70% to 80% of the medicinal effect, while this crudely refined one has ordinary medicinal effects. It only shows 30% to 40% of the medicinal herbs."

"So it was extremely strenuous for me to make alchemy before, and I worked very hard myself. If I did alchemy in the morning like today, how could I use so many alchemy furnaces." Meng Hao put away the Qi Condensing Pill thoughtfully.

"However, the gap is so large, nearly doubled... This should be related to the time of refining, but it is unlikely that there is too much connection. After all, I have also seen the pills that Li Tao needs to refine himself. It seems that there is no such obvious difference from the pills he refined for others."

Meng Hao frowned, and suddenly his eyes flashed while he was pondering.

"Could it be that it has something to do with my perfect foundation building, because my spiritual power is different from others, and I don't return to this world, but imprint my own imprint, so my five Taoist platforms can sweep the foundation building, and I use it to make alchemy, but it is also contaminated with this aura... And the reason why the alchemy furnace was blown up is because the elixir I refined is perfect?"

While he was contemplating, Meng Hao's complexion suddenly changed, and he suddenly lowered his head to look at his universe bag. Inside the bloody mask in the universe bag, there was a faint voice of Pi Dong, which instantly appeared in Meng Hao's mind.

"I can't do it anymore. I can't support you to continue to change. Damn me, I knew I couldn't give others the power to change. Meng Hao, I'm going to shed my skin. It's over. One month, I need a month. You have to be...be careful..."

Pi Dong's voice became weaker and weaker, and when it finally disappeared completely, Meng Hao's face showed his true face as if there was water flowing over it.

But at this moment, Chu Yuyan's voice came from outside Meng Hao's cave!

"Fang Mu, open your cave, I have something to do with you!"
