Immortal Palace Longevity

Ignition, preheating, extracting essence, fusing essence, condensing pills..., soon the small tripod exuded a familiar medicinal fragrance again.

This time Liu Yu waited a little longer, but in just a few breaths, the medicinal fragrance disappeared and a burnt smell came.

It was undoubtedly another failure.

Liu Yu's face was neither sad nor happy, and his heart was as calm as water.

For beginners, failure is a common thing. Every alchemist will go through such a stage. Failure is the mother of success.

Liu Yu's heart was calm. He did not directly refine the pill again, but took out a booklet to record the problems he encountered, and carefully thought about his shortcomings. Those problems that he couldn't figure out would be left to read the classics in the Sutra Pavilion later, or ask others if there was a chance.

Two quarters of an hour later, ignition, preheating, extracting the essence of the elixir...

In a flash, another half a month had passed. In the thatched house, Liu Yu's pale face looked a little haggard, his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, and a short beard grew on his chin.

But his eyes were exceptionally bright, and his dark pupils were deep and far-reaching.

In the past half month, Liu Yu would refine two or three furnaces of elixirs every day. Just nine days ago, he successfully refined a furnace of Juling Pills and made eight pills.

With the experience of that success as a reference, he could succeed once every four or five furnaces, and obtained a total of 24 Juling Pills.

After the Juling Pills were used up, Liu Yu began to refine Qingling Pills. After the fifteen spiritual medicines were used up, he succeeded in two furnaces and obtained fifteen Qingling Pills.

The reason why the success rate is so low is that Qingling Pills have one more spiritual medicine, and the two steps of drug fusion and pill condensation are more complicated and difficult, so the success rate is much lower.

Looking at the five jade bottles in front of him, Liu Yu's haggard face showed a smile, and finally there were some results.

Then he wrote down the experience and difficulties of these days in the booklet, and waited until the task was completed to look through the classics or find someone to solve the doubts, and waved his hand to put the two into the storage bag.

The Gathering Spirit Pill usually costs one Spirit Stone per pill, and the Purifying Spirit Pill costs three Spirit Stones per pill. The total cost of these pills is about fifty-nine Spirit Stones.

The Spirit Medicine used to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill is worth three Spirit Stones, and the Purifying Spirit Pill is worth five Spirit Stones. The Spirit Medicine consumed this time is worth one hundred and sixty-five Spirit Stones, but the pills obtained are only worth fifty-nine Spirit Stones, which means a loss of one hundred and six Spirit Stones.

Such a loss is enough to make some small immortal cultivation families spit blood and go bankrupt, and the big sect families will also feel pain. The threshold for learning to refine pills is so high, so there are so few alchemists in the world of cultivation.

Perhaps because of his two lives, Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness is a little stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level, and he can experience the changes in the power of the medicine when refining pills. The initial success rate of pills is higher than that of ordinary alchemy apprentices.

He stood up and shook off the dust on his body.

Put the copper tripod into the storage bag, reach out and take out the three spiritual stones embedded in the micro array. This is the third time to change the spiritual stones. The spiritual stones of the previous two times have already exhausted their spiritual energy.

Liu Yu opened the doors and windows to let the air in the room circulate, dissipate the medicinal fragrance left by the alchemy, and eliminate the traces of the array one by one.

Finally, he did not forget to take out a piece of cloth to wrap up the powder and impurities left by the spiritual medicine and put it into the storage bag to take away. When the time comes, just find a place to bury it, and no one will know.

In this month, Liu Yu collected a lot of spiritual medicine seeds, most of which are commonly used spiritual medicines in the Qi Refining Period, and a small number of rare spiritual medicine seeds that are difficult to buy outside. However, there are not many spiritual stones left at this time, so there is no need to rush to ripen them.

Finally, after a glance and a careful check to make sure there is nothing missing, Liu Yu left the room.

…

Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, and the skill "Wood Spirit Jue" slowly operated, performing a large circle of circulation, refining spiritual energy and improving cultivation.

After completing the daily meditation practice, Liu Yu took out the wooden box containing the spiritual medicine seeds and placed it in his palm. A wisp of spiritual consciousness probed towards the green light spot. A familiar suction came, and the sky and the earth were spinning in front of his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he had turned into a red light ball, and the wooden box was floating beside him.

The dark space, the green barrier, the floating gray island, there was no change in the space of the fairy house.

He used his spiritual consciousness to pull the wooden box and floated to the small wooden house on the left.

Rows of wooden boxes were neatly placed in the small wooden house on the left. This is where the spiritual medicine seeds are stored.

Liu Yu opened one of the wooden boxes and took out a soybean-sized black seed. This is the "Bi Lingzhi" seed. The Yuanshen controlled this seed to float to the spiritual field.

Turning over the black spiritual soil, carefully planting the Bi Lingzhi seeds, Liu Yu waited patiently beside.

After a while, green sprouts grew out of the black spiritual soil, growing rapidly at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, as if time was speeding up countless times on it.

About ten hours later, the green bud turned into a three-inch-sized Ganoderma lucidum with green lines on the surface, and then it stopped growing, as if it had reached its limit and time had returned to normal.

The red light ball approached gently and revolved around the green Ganoderma lucidum.

"It seems to be about two hundred years old."

Liu Yu had seen information about the green Ganoderma lucidum in a sect book, and recognized its size and characteristics at each stage of age. The growth limit of the green Ganoderma lucidum is one thousand years, and it can even be used to refine elixirs for improving the mana of the Nascent Soul stage.

Could it be that the limit of the immortal palace's ripening of spiritual medicine is two hundred years?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Yu immediately became worried, but he quickly stabilized his mentality. Even if it could only be ripened for two hundred years, this ability was already very amazing.

It is normal for such a magical immortal palace to have some restrictions. Perhaps this is the balance of the great way in the dark!

"Why did the immortal palace turn into a green spiritual light spot and follow my soul through? Why can such a heaven-defying treasure be refined by a mere Qi Refining cultivator like me? Is it because my cultivation level is too low, which limits the power of the immortal palace?"

Liu Yu thought for a long time, but could not think of the answer. There was no way to verify these questions for the time being, so he had to put away these thoughts and stop entangled.

His soul floated gently, took out a wooden box from the hut on the right, put the green Ganoderma lucidum in it, and left the immortal palace space with the wooden box.

Liu Yu's soul returned to his body. Although he consumed a lot of energy in and out of the immortal palace, he still managed to cheer up and run the "Wood Spirit Art" to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He has already completed the fourth level of Qi Refining, and it is estimated that he will break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in one or two days.

With three spiritual roots, cultivating to the fifth level of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen is considered a medium level in Yuanyang Sect. If he continues like this, he will have the hope of breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty.

Yuanyang Sect stipulates that those with heavenly spirits and special spiritual roots can directly become inner disciples, while other spiritual root cultivators must cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty before they can become inner disciples.

Not only do inner disciples receive more elixirs and spirit stones every month, but they also have a much greater chance of getting foundation-building elixirs than outer disciples.

Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the restriction. Liu Yu guessed that it must be the person who replaced him, so he took out the token and opened the restriction.

Looking from the inside out, he saw a short and ordinary-looking person wearing outer disciple clothes and holding a token standing outside the restriction.

Liu Yu calmly stepped forward to inquire and confirm the identity of the person.

After confirming the identity of the person, he quickly completed the handover, then bowed and said goodbye without too much courtesy.

He slapped his storage bag, and the standard flying sword "Cold Light Sword" issued by the sect appeared in his palm. He inputted mana and it grew to ten feet in size in the blink of an eye. He jumped onto the flying sword with a tip of his toes, and with a pinch of the magic spell in his hand, it turned into a gray light and flew towards Qingquan Peak.

In the morning sunshine, it disappeared among the mountains in a few blinks of an eye.

Liu Yu found an uninhabited deserted mountain on the way, used the Cold Light Sword to dig a pit, threw the cloth bag containing the impurities of alchemy into it, and then took off again.
