Mortals cultivating immortality and the fate of immortal jade

Back in the quiet room, Lin Mu was restless.

Sitting in the quiet room, all kinds of thoughts rushed in his mind.

The decision to fight Ma Huayuan to death was a bit rash, which Lin Mu had not expected. Ma Huayuan's insidiousness was far beyond his expectation.

This time, Lin Mu could beat Ma Huayuan, half by strength and half by luck.

But if he fought a life-and-death battle, Lin Mu was not sure at all under the watch of thousands of outer disciples. At least, it would be difficult for Lin Mu to resist Ma Huayuan's "Fireball Technique".

His low spiritual power cultivation was his weakness. At Lin Mu's current level, he could only use the "Green Water Technique" at full strength three times at most, and his spiritual power would be exhausted. Then he needed time to slowly meditate and recover. But in a life-and-death fight, if he was not careful, he would die, so where would he get time to recover his spiritual power.

But Lin Mu was not without a chance of winning.

Lin Mu had already learned three of the five elements of magic, and when facing the enemy, he was flexible and changeable, making it hard to defend against.

The spiritual energy in the Xuanyue Space is abundant. Lin Mu should be able to improve his cultivation by another level after practicing hard for three months.

But these advantages cannot make Lin Mu feel at ease.

A life-and-death fight is no small matter. Once you fail, you will die.

Lin Mu hopes that his chances of winning can be greater, at least more than 70%. If he wants to do this, it is inevitable to work hard to improve his cultivation.

But Lin Mu also hesitated. If his cultivation improves too quickly, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others.

Lin Mu is a five-element spiritual root, which is known to everyone in Qianyu Sword Sect. His cultivation progress has always been slow, otherwise, Ma Huayuan would not be so confident.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mu decided to save his life first. If possible, try not to expose the existence of the Xuanyue Pendant.

Lin Mu no longer hesitated and decided to implement his original plan.

It is imperative to refine the Juling Pill. This is a shortcut to quickly improve cultivation, and it is also a good excuse to cover up the existence of the Xuanyue Pendant.

Lin Mu's figure flashed and entered the Xuanyue Space.

The hut was already half full of spiritual herbs, which had been sorted and placed by Lin Mu when they were collected.

Lin Mu took out the seven first-grade spiritual herbs for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, as well as the second-grade spiritual herb Yunlin Flower. These were the materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill.

According to the recipe recorded in the "Essentials of Lihuo Pill", Lin Mu prepared a total of 70 portions of materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, plus the 10 portions purchased from the Baiwu Pavilion, a total of 80 portions.

80 portions of alchemy materials were enough for Lin Mu to squander for a while.

Even at the beginning, the success rate of alchemy was very low, but as long as it could reach 40%, at least more than 30 bottles of Gathering Spirit Pill could be refined.

The recipe for the Bigu Pill was also recorded in the "Essentials of Lihuo Pill".

Bigu Pill was made from seven first-grade spiritual herbs, and Lin Mu prepared 65 portions of materials for refining Bigu Pill in the hut.

If these Bigu Pills were refined, they would be enough for Lin Mu to eat for two years.

After sorting out the materials for the two pills, Lin Mu started planting again without stopping.

But this time, he was no longer blind like before. Lin Mu already had the recipe, so he could plant them with a purpose.

Among the second-grade spiritual herbs, the planting scale of Hanyan Tobacco and Xingkonglan remained the same as before. Lin Mu planted 300 Yunlin Flowers, the main medicine for refining Juling Pills.

Among the first-grade spiritual herbs, the seven first-grade spiritual herbs used to refine Juling Pills were planted with more than 300 plants each, which was about the same as Yunlin Flowers.

Lin Mu did not plant the rest of the first-grade spiritual herbs because they were not needed now. He only planted more than 100 plants of each spiritual herb symbolically.

This process took Lin Mu a day.

After finishing all this, Lin Mu began to calm down and carefully study "Lihuo Dan Yao".

In terms of alchemy, Lin Mu was a complete novice and had no experience. He could only learn some basic knowledge from "Lihuo Dan Yao", which was better than a blind man touching an elephant.

There are many ways to make alchemy. There are water refining methods and fire refining methods. But most alchemists use fire refining methods to make alchemy. The "Lihuo Dan Yao" clearly records some precautions for the fire refining method and the techniques usually used in alchemy.

This is a brand new world for Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was eager and deeply immersed in it.

For three consecutive days, Lin Mu had no appetite and sat in the quiet room, studying the way of alchemy. After three days, he had a preliminary understanding of alchemy.

If you want to become a qualified alchemist, you still need a lot of practice.

In these three days, he read the most about the refining of Juling Dan. In total, he read the content of refining Juling Dan no less than ten times and could remember it by heart.

As for the refining method of Bigu Dan, he also read it many times.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. After completing these preparations, Lin Mu began to take action.

Wrap the ten alchemy materials purchased in Baiwu Pavilion last time in a green cloth bag. Lin Mu first went to Lingshan Hall for a full meal, and then carried the cloth bag to Danxia Peak.

Danxia Peak is not far from West Peak. There are many alchemy rooms inside Danxia Peak.

When I arrived at Danxia Peak, before I entered, someone came up and asked, "Please stay, what are you doing here?"

Tai Ning is the deacon disciple of Danxia Peak, responsible for guarding the alchemy room here.

Lin Mu bowed and smiled, "I want to rent an alchemy room."

Tai Ning looked at Lin Mu and said, "Come with me."

Lin Mu followed Tai Ning into the belly of the mountain.

The interior of Danxia Peak has been hollowed out and transformed into large and small alchemy rooms. There are alchemy rooms, waste alchemy rooms, herbal medicine rooms, alchemy storage rooms, etc.

After walking for a long time and passing through the nine-curved corridor, Tai Ning brought Lin Mu to a row of alchemy rooms.

Tai Ning smiled and said: "This is the alchemy room, which is specially used for practitioners in the Qi refining period to practice. The rental fee is two low-grade spiritual stones per day. If the spiritual stones are not enough, they can be replaced with the same amount of elixirs. Each bottle of spirit gathering pills costs four One piece of low-grade spiritual stone, and two pieces of low-grade spiritual stone for each bottle of Bigu Pill."

Lin Mu nodded in agreement, randomly selected an alchemy room and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyes were attracted by something in the room.

There is a stone platform in the center of the room. On the stone platform is an antique brass alchemy furnace. Red flames are spitting out from the stone platform below from time to time.

Tai Ning followed beside him and explained to Lin Mu: "This is a medium-grade magical instrument, a brass furnace. Although it is not top-grade, it is more than enough for refining the first-grade elixir Bigu Pill."

Lin Mu looked at the brass furnace and asked, "Then how to control the flame inside this stone platform?"

Tai Ning smiled and said: "In order to make it easier for low-level cultivators to refine elixirs, the elders in the sect used their powerful strength to open up the earth's veins, draw the fire of the earth's lungs, and seal it in this stone platform. When refining elixirs, you only need to use your spiritual power to control the strength of the flames. Even advanced cultivators can make pills." He looked at the dancing flames and said, "Although making pills is not difficult, it is extremely demanding on one's patience. If you are not careful, a pot of pills will go up in flames."

Lin Mu smiled and said: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me. I'm very grateful."

Tai Ning said kindly: "In that case, then you can make elixirs here." After saying that, he turned and left. Before leaving, he reminded Lin Mu: "There is a mechanism on this stone door. Press it lightly and the stone door will open." It will be closed tightly and no outsiders can come in and disturb it.”

After that, he turned around and left. Lin Mu sent it outside the door, then came back and gently pressed the mechanism on the stone door. The stone door, which weighed a thousand kilograms, slowly closed, blocking the alchemy room tightly, making it impossible for outsiders to peek into the alchemy room.

After the stone door was closed, Lin Mu began to look around the alchemy room.

The entire alchemy room is tall, spacious and well ventilated. There is only a stone platform in the middle of the alchemy room and nothing else.

Lin Mu stepped forward and carefully observed the structure of the stone platform and brass furnace.

The more Lin Mu looked at it, the more surprised he became. This stone platform was a work of art. The circular base has the fire of the earth's lungs sealed inside. There was a golden round handle protruding from the side of the stone platform. Lin Mu held the round handle in his hand and input a little spiritual power into it. The flame that had been sealed in the stone platform suddenly jumped up, spitting tongues of flame and burning the bottom of the brass furnace.

This golden round handle is the key to controlling the flame.

Lin Mu learned from "Lihuo Dan Yao" that if you want to refine the elixir, you need to be able to control the strength of the flame at will.

Controlling fire can be said to be the most critical part of the alchemy process.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

Lin Mu began to try to practice how to control fire. Holding the golden round handle in his hand, he adjusted the amount of spiritual power input from time to time, and the intensity of the flames inside the stone platform also changed accordingly.

After half a day's work, Lin Mu was able to control the strength of the flame with ease.

Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a little excited. Next, refining alchemy for the first time in his life was about to begin.
