Longevity: Start with your own wine-making technique

Although Long Xuan could see the progress of the alchemy, he was naturally good at controlling the flame.

But to refine high-level elixirs, it was useless to just control the temperature well. All aspects needed to be perfect. Any mistake in any link would lead to failure and waste of a furnace of expensive elixirs.

So even with Long Xuan's help in secret, Xuanlong Dan was wasted one furnace after another. In just a few months, the two of them wasted a lot of expensive elixirs, and they almost lost half of the family's gold mountain.

At this time, Long Xuan really realized how expensive it was to refine high-level breakthrough elixirs. It was simply a bottomless pit.

Isn't it easy for a family to cultivate a Gu King? Don't think about raising the resources to cultivate a Gu King without breaking your bones.

If you buy the elixir directly from outside, it might be more expensive.

If you can buy it directly at a high price, it's okay. The problem is that there is a 90% probability that things that can help break through the Gu King will attract murder and treasure.

If things go wrong, the newly acquired realm-breaking pill will be snatched away by someone else. Losing the pill will not be enough, and the family may lose a large number of masters and never recover from it.

There are too many similar examples, and they have happened countless times.

The reason why the Long family can become one of the seven major families in the extreme west is because the Li family, one of the former seven major families, bought a realm-breaking pill at an auction in the West. In order to ensure that there is no mistake, they actually sent 80% of the family's masters to escort it.

It is indeed cautious enough, but the forces that want to break the realm-breaking pill are far more than one wave. They are killed one after another, endlessly.

The final result is that the masters of the Li family who went to escort the realm-breaking pill died, and even the realm-breaking pill was lost. The Li family was seriously injured this time.

The key is that in order to purchase this realm-breaking pill, the Li family also sold a large amount of family property and emptied the family's assets, which undoubtedly made the family worse.

Without resources, the speed of genius cultivation will be greatly affected. If the genius cannot grow up, the family will never be able to recover. This is a vicious cycle. The Li family has never recovered since then. Its strength is no longer worthy of the status of the seven major clans, and it can no longer protect such a large territory. This piece of fat meat will attract countless hungry wolves.

In the end, in order to avoid the crisis of being exterminated, the Li family was also afraid that the Long family would lose another child and come to the door, so they took the initiative to give all the territory to the Long family at a low price.

After inheriting the vast territory of the Li family, the Long family was able to develop rapidly and successfully became one of the seven major clans in a very short time. The family fortune is booming.

This is a lesson learned from the past, and the Long family can empathize with it.

Therefore, Long Wanli dared not buy pills outside unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the feng shui would turn around and it would be his family's turn next year.

Based on this consideration, the Long family spared no effort to support Long Ao in refining the Xuanlong Pill, and concentrated the power of the whole clan.

What does it mean to gather the power of the whole clan? Gathering the power of the whole family means concentrating all the wealth of the whole family to help him refine the elixir. He must successfully refine a Xuanlong Pill at the cost of exhausting all the resources of the whole family. With so many resources, he must succeed in refining one by chance.

So even if the two of them kept refining waste materials, a large amount of materials continued to come in. Without hesitation, the family also fought hard.

With the unremitting support of the family, at noon of the third month, the lid of the elixir furnace suddenly flew up, and a strong elixir fragrance filled the whole house in an instant.

The two of them sniffed the extremely strong third-grade elixir fragrance together, and their eyes showed extremely excited expressions, and their faces turned red.

Even the coir raincoat, gently opened the door, sniffed the third-grade elixir fragrance, and looked at the Xuanlong Pill with excitement.

I don’t know what its excited eyes mean, maybe it wants to take the Xuanlong Pill to build a house.

This is a good building material.

Old Long stared at the golden elixir in the furnace with bloodshot eyes and rapid breathing, and was so excited that he almost went crazy.

Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed wildly: "Hahaha... It's done! It's done! I finally did it!"

The crazy laughter was deafening and spread far and wide. The family's top leaders had been waiting outside the house for many days. After hearing his laughter, they all showed ecstatic expressions and rushed in like crazy.

"Is it finally done? Is this the Xuanlong Pill?"

"Let me see it quickly! Don't move! How can you touch it?"

"Haha! I didn't expect it to be successful. I can see what the ancestral Xuanlong Pill looks like with my own eyes. My life is not in vain."

...

Long Xuan saw with his own eyes a group of old guys rushing in like crazy, and then surrounded the furnace, dancing excitedly, extremely out of control, and there was no dignity in the past.

Some people laughed insanely, and some even burst into tears.

Although everyone had gone crazy, no one dared to reach out and touch the golden elixir that was shining with golden light. They didn't dare to reach out and touch it at all, as if they were afraid of desecrating the treasure.

Long Wanli's eyes were a little red, and he finally walked towards Long Ao, the great hero of the family. He said with a little gratitude: "Brother Ao, you have worked hard these past few months. The family will never forget your contribution to the family."

Long Ao was a little flattered and waved his hands and smiled: "It's not hard! It's not hard! The head of the family is too kind."

"Half of the credit for this success should be attributed to my disciple. I really don't dare to take credit. I, Long Ao, am also incompetent. I actually wasted so many materials of the family. The family has spent a lot of money during this period, right? How many resources did I consume?" Long Ao asked nervously.

He was too focused on refining the elixir. So far, he has forgotten how much materials he has wasted, but he only knows that it is a lot.

The pressure in his heart was too great. He was afraid that if he failed to live up to his family's expectations and failed to refine the Black Dragon Pill even though all the family's resources were used up, he would really have no choice but to die.

Fortunately, the Xuanlong Pill was finally completed, and the stone that was weighing on his heart finally fell away, making him relieved. However, at this time, he began to worry about how much family resources were wasted, and became worried about gains and losses.

Long Wanli smiled and said: "You are too worried. There is no need. To be honest, your success far exceeded my expectations."

"I thought you would have to consume at least half of the family's resources to refine the Black Dragon Pill. For this reason, I prepared a library of Black Dragon Pill materials for you."

"I never expected you to refine the Black Dragon Pill using only one-tenth of the inventory. This is really beyond my expectation. I was prepared in vain. I underestimated Brother Ao's pill refining. ability."

"Really? Hahaha..." After hearing this, Long Ao finally let go of the last worry in his heart, laughed heartily, and said: "I didn't prepare in vain, even though I only used one-tenth of the materials to make Xuan The Dragon Pill is finished, but don’t trade the remaining 90% of the materials.”

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as I successfully refine the first Black Dragon Pill, it will be much easier for me to refine the next Black Dragon Pill. There is no need to gather the strength of the entire clan to refine it."

"From now on, I will have the ability to refine the Black Dragon Pill. As long as you give me time, the second and third Black Dragon Pill will appear in the clan!"

Upon hearing this, Long Wanli's eyes immediately lit up, as if he saw a group of Gu kings walking past him.

He understood very well what Long Ao's words meant, which meant that he could continuously refine Black Dragon Pills. From now on, the Long family no longer had to risk going outside to buy Black Dragon Pills, and the family's Gu Kings would continue to be produced.

"We, the Long Clan, are about to rise! God is really blessing our clan!" The elder of the wealthy family said first with tears in his eyes.

"Long Buhui! This Black Dragon Pill is yours, don't let us down!"

In the end, Long Wanli carefully took out the Black Dragon Pill, put it into a pill bottle, and handed it to Long Buhui.

If there was anyone in the audience who was the most excited at this moment, it would undoubtedly be Long Buhui.

He is a vested interest. This Black Dragon Pill was refined for him. As long as he swallows this Black Dragon Pill, he may break through the Gu King and become the top powerhouse in this area. Who can compare here? Is he excited?

Long Buhui's face was flushed and his heart was beating wildly. Facing the Xuanlong Dan so close at hand, he couldn't calm down at all and was almost going crazy with excitement.

He took the pill bottle with trembling hands. Obviously, the Xuanlong Pill was very light, but at this moment, he seemed to feel that the Xuanlong Pill weighed a thousand kilograms. This pill placed the hope of the entire clan, which made him feel... It was heavy, creating a bit of pressure out of thin air.

At this time, he was worried about gains and losses just like Long Ao. What if he failed to break through, wasted this good elixir, and let down the hope of the whole clan?

An invisible pressure pressed on his back, making him breathless. He didn't want to disappoint his tribe, but the more he thought about it, the greater the pressure he felt.

As if he understood what he was thinking, Long Ao said sympathetically: "Brother Buhui, there is no need to put too much pressure on me. After all, the Black Dragon Pill only has a 20% breakthrough rate. It is completely normal for the breakthrough to fail."

"If the Gu King is really so easy to break through, then why are there only one or two Gu Kings in each of the seven major clans?"

"But you are different from others. If others fail to break through, they will completely fail, but you still have a chance, because I already have the ability to refine the Black Dragon Pill."

"If one Black Dragon Pill can't break through, then use two. If two pills still don't work, then use three. Our clan already has such conditions, so you don't have to worry about failure at all, and you don't need to have any psychological pressure."

"That's right!" The elder of the wealthy clan came over and comforted him: "Even if you fail to break through, no one in the clan will blame you. Don't feel any psychological pressure."

"The greater the pressure you are under, the easier it is for you to fail to break through. You must adjust your mentality. To become the Gu King, you must have good psychological quality. Don't be afraid of your hands and feet."

Everyone's comfort obviously worked. Long Buhui nodded solemnly. After adjusting his mentality, his eyes regained confidence: "Don't worry! I can't guarantee that this breakthrough can be 100% successful. But I will do my best and never fall short due to such low-level mistakes as insufficient mental quality.”

Long Buhui clenched his fists.

Seeing Long Bugui's state, everyone smiled and nodded together, finally relieved.

At this time, the ancestor's voice suddenly came from the sky: "Next, I am the protector of Buhui. Unless the family is facing a life-and-death crisis, no one is allowed to disturb you if anything happens. Buhui comes to my place."
