Yu Xian

Chapter 159: It doesn’t matter if the alchemy fails, the passage is opened successfully

Everyone’s eyes are focused at this moment.

The success or failure of Jiang Xiaolong’s alchemy this time represents how deep they can go in this tomb today!

If they fail, they will return to the original path, still cover the cave entrance, and come again next time.

If they succeed, they will continue to explore, or they may get the inheritance of the tomb owner!

The fire is burning and the temperature is rising.

Jiang Xiaolong’s expression is calm. He first flicks his finger, and a herb flies up, which is stimulated by the medicinal properties and flies into the furnace.

And after the movement, there will be a violent storm!

I saw dozens of spiritual energy in front of Jiang Xiaolong, like a phantom, and various herbs kept flying up, and the spiritual energy stimulated the medicinal effects and sent them into the furnace.

A wave of medicinal fragrance quickly filled the entire hall!

Yu Xian didn’t blink, and kept staring.

His hands in his sleeves were also moving slightly, as if he was the one refining the elixir at this moment.

He was observing, he was learning, and even, he was practicing!

As time passed, Jiang Xiaolong was sweating profusely and his expression gradually became nervous.

He said he was calm and wanted to be calm in his heart, but it was hard to be calm after all.

There was nothing he could do about it.

This fifth-level treasure pill was the first time Jiang Xiaolong refined it alone. Regardless of success or failure, no one would not be nervous for the first time.

Yu Xian would be the same, but Yu Xian was in a good mood, and nervousness would make him excited and more focused.

Maybe this is the benefit of being stubborn and stubborn.

The Yellow Dragon Blood Dust Pill has reached the most tense moment.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaolong has to control as many as twenty kinds of spiritual herbs to stimulate the medicinal effects together. It can be said that he has to do dozens of things with one mind!

Everyone didn't quite understand, but Yu Xian knew it clearly.

He squinted slightly and looked carefully. He didn't see any shortcomings in Jiang Xiaolong's technique for the time being.

But the next moment, his pupils moved slightly.

No!

The technique he used to stimulate the fire dust leaf should be slow, which reduced the medicinal effect by two points!

Hmm?

This cold flame fruit, his method of stimulating the release was faster, which wasted three points of the medicinal effect!

Yu Xian frowned, looking at the sweaty Jiang Xiaolong, knowing that he was beginning to get confused and lose control.

This is also human nature, he is just a bystander.

If he were to refine it himself, at this last moment, he might not be as good as Jiang Xiaolong.

In the end, all the medicinal materials were sent to the alchemy furnace, and Jiang Xiaolong stared at the white jade alchemy furnace.

The last medicine, the blood of the earth dragon, should be the key to success or failure!

And the grasp of timing is the most important thing.

Before, with the assistance of Yu Xian, he had refined it once, and now he had experience in refining it for the second time.

Staring at the alchemy furnace, calculating in his mind, Jiang Xiaolong suddenly shouted after a while: "Open!"

The lid of the white jade alchemy furnace was lifted, and the bucket of earth dragon blood suddenly shot out and flew into the alchemy furnace in an instant.

Gurgling...

All kinds of strange noises came out of the furnace, and the strong aroma of medicine spread everywhere, filling the whole hall.

Yu Xian's slightly frowned brows returned to normal, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

No, the aroma of medicine is too strong.

It is normal to have the aroma of medicine when refining pills.

After all, the furnace cannot contain the aroma of medicine, but the aroma of medicine is so strong that it can be smelled right in front of the nose.

That proves that the medicinal properties of the pill inside are flowing too fast and too fiercely.

It is not condensed well...

What a pity! What a pity!

It is said that there is a spiritual furnace that can perfectly seal the aroma of medicine.

With this kind of furnace, no matter what kind of pill is refined, the aroma of medicine will not leak out, so that the medicinal properties are sealed, and the chance of the pill refined is very high!

However, this kind of spiritual furnace is not something Yu Xian can think of at the moment.

At this moment, with such a strong aroma of medicine, the pill in the furnace is likely to fail!

Jiang Xiaolong also noticed this, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly raised his hand to control the fire to make the final remedy.

The flames were steaming, and finally reached the last step.

Jiang Xiaolong's eyes were complicated, and he roared: "The pill is done!"

Boom!

The white jade pill furnace suddenly opened, but what flew out was a gray-brown object, and the pill was not made.

Jiang Xiaolong's expression suddenly dimmed.

It's useless...

The other five people echoed in their hearts at the same time.

This furnace of pills has failed.

As for the hexagram array on the ground, there was no reaction. It was obvious that this furnace of failed pills was not worthy of being a stepping stone.

Jiang Xiaolong let out a long breath, and sweat kept flowing out.

This furnace of pills consumed a lot of his mind, which was even more tiring than fighting with others for three days and three nights.

Unfortunately, it still failed.

Sure enough, the fifth-level pill is not something that a foundation-building cultivator can refine alone.

That is a golden pill master, an alchemy master who can refine it!

"I am not very talented and have failed in refining the elixir."

Jiang Xiaolong sighed, turned to look at everyone, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I can only come here again and enter the next level of this tomb when I am skilled in refining the fifth-level elixir, or meet another master."

Everyone's expression flickered, and some of them looked at the stone pillars again.

If a few people can't go to the next level, then the evil spirits in these stone pillars are the last chance. It's good to catch one more.

"It's just a failure."

But a voice sounded, Qi Xuan looked at Jiang Xiaolong and said: "Brother Dao, why don't you try again? If it doesn't work once, you have experience, and you can succeed the second time, right?"

When Jiang Xiaolong heard this, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "My fellow Taoist doesn't know how to make elixirs. If it's an ordinary fourth-level elixir, a poor Taoist can still do this. If you don't succeed once, you will know the mistakes and know how to correct them. The second time, or even the third time, you can do it." It can always be done, but refining this fifth-level elixir is too complicated and mysterious. I don't even know where I went wrong. How can I correct it? Even if I try it a hundred or a thousand times, it will still be a failure. It's just a futile effort. I can only go back and comprehend it carefully, and then I can continue to refine it when I have a clear understanding in my heart."

Qi Xuan frowned, and the expectation in his eyes dimmed.

It seems that Jiang Xiaolong cannot continue to refine it, and it is impossible for the fifth-level pill to appear.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuan also glanced at the stone pillars.

But with this sweep, he suddenly saw Yu Xian standing in the distance with a calm expression.

Seeing Yu Xian's appearance, he didn't seem to be disappointed.

Is he so calm?

Qi Xuan thought to himself and suddenly smiled: "Brother Jiang Dao, don't be disappointed. Although you are unable to refine the fifth-level elixir, there is still someone here who can refine elixirs. Maybe there is a chance?"

"Um?"

Jiang Xiaolong looked stunned, but then he turned to look at Yu Xian.

At the same time, the other four people also looked at Yu Xian with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

he?

The perfect cultivation level in the early stage of foundation building is not even in the middle stage of foundation building. Even though he is a foundation builder at such a young age, he is definitely a genius and not an ordinary person.

But alchemy is something that cannot be strengthened by the talent of cultivation.

Is he okay?

Jiang Xiaolong concentrated slightly, looked at Yu Xian and said, "Junior brother Yu... why don't you give it a try?"

This was Yu Xian's last hope. Although there was a high probability of failure, letting him try would be a waste of materials worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.

But hope is hope, and this kind of thing is too tempting.

What if it happens?

Yu Xian also didn't expect that the matter of alchemy would suddenly fall on him.

Originally, he was thinking that if Jiang Xiaolong failed in refining the alchemy, then everyone should go back.

But I didn't expect that Qi Xuan actually wanted him to try the elixir?

But since he said so, the material is not his own...

So why not try it?

Experience is a very precious thing. If you can try it in vain, then of course you should try it.

Yu Xian nodded slightly and said: "If senior fellow apprentices and fellow Taoists can trust Pindao, then Pindao will give it a try and will go all out."

"Then just give it a try."

Qi Xuan smiled lightly and said: "What are you afraid of? With this alchemy furnace and Brother Jiang Dao guiding you, it will definitely be possible."

Jiang Xiaolong also nodded and said: "Junior brother Yu, just give it a try. Don't worry about the materials. The spiritual grass with hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones is enough for a poor person. Just do your best!"

"good."

Yu Xian nodded, walked over and said, "Senior brother, please give me the recipe for Huanglong Blood Dust Pill."

Jiang Xiaolong exhaled, stood up a little tiredly, stretched out his hand to touch his arms, and sent the pill prescription to Yu Xian, saying in a deep voice: "The spirit beast pill is not as good as the spirit pill, you have to think about it more, even if It’s okay to fail, just practice.”

Yu Xian nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

Jiang Xiaolong nodded slightly, left the storage bag containing the spiritual grass material, turned around and walked away, sat down cross-legged in the distance, and breathed slowly to restore his body's fatigue.

As for Yu Xian, he did not look at the elixir recipe. Instead, he first came to the white jade elixir furnace and slowly circled around it, carefully looking at it, sensing it, and becoming familiar with it.

Everyone wondered what he was going to do, but they couldn't say anything and could only wait.

And when Yu Xian saw it, he knew that if he was familiar with this white jade alchemy furnace, he would have to spend three sticks of incense.

It wasn't until he was completely familiar with this fifth-level high-grade alchemy furnace that he nodded secretly, walked two feet away and sat down cross-legged, took out the elixir recipe and started looking at it.

Seeing that Yu Xian had finished familiarizing himself with the alchemy furnace and started looking at the elixir recipes, everyone was not in a hurry, so they had to wait.

But this wait will take a long time.

Yu Xian studied the prescription word by word, watched it carefully, practiced it in his mind, pondered it, and completely immersed himself in it, regardless of the passage of time.

But the other five people, except Jiang Xiaolong, gradually became impatient to wait.

They had no idea why it took so long for Yu Xian to look at a prescription for an elixir.

There is not even any sign of finishing reading and starting to make alchemy!

What is he doing?

Does Danfang need to be studied for so long?

Can you practice it? If you can’t just practice and speak up, wouldn’t this be a waste of time?

But everyone could only mutter in their hearts and curse secretly, but they could not say it out loud.

If you say it, others will be embarrassed and you will not feel better.

After all, it is others who want to make elixirs now, not myself.

People who have no ability to do anything and still like to interrupt are the most annoying and disgusting people.

First, Su Mofeng shook his head and smiled, lifted his robe, sat cross-legged, and began to express his luck.

Ge Xiyu also shook his head and sat cross-legged.

The other three people immediately glanced at Yu Xian, thinking to themselves, just take your time and watch it, it depends on how long you want to watch it!

Then they all sat down cross-legged and breathed out quietly.

For a time, the spiritual energy in the tomb hall became a little stronger due to the absorption of everyone.

Yu Xian naturally doesn't care what others think.

Since you want to make elixirs, of course you have to be 100% prepared. These fifth-level elixir recipes are no better than those of fourth-level ones.

Its complexity is ten times, dozens of times higher!

Just the change in technique is extremely brain-consuming, not to mention the combination of other spiritual herbs, the stimulation of medicinal properties, the control of fire, etc.

So he would try to refine it only after he had thoroughly understood the recipe.

The tomb was dark, and the passage of time was imperceptible. In addition, everyone was meditating with their eyes closed, breathing and practicing, so time flew even faster.

At some point, Yu Xian suddenly raised his head, put down the recipe, and closed his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

Then he looked calm and raised his hand calmly.

Seven pieces of dragon rock carbon fell into the white jade furnace.

I had sensed this white jade furnace before. Its heat absorption was higher than that of ordinary furnaces, and it could refine higher-level treasure pills more violently.

But at the same time, it absorbed heat faster, so Jiang Xiaolong habitually thought that eight pieces of dragon rock carbon furnace were needed to refine the Yellow Dragon Blood Dust Pill, which was obviously too many.

Seven pieces were enough.

The flames rose suddenly.

The six people who had been sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed for too long, for a full ten hours, were almost in a state of meditation.

They were suddenly awakened and opened their eyes together.

They immediately saw Yu Xian heating up the furnace.

"Oh? Are we finally going to start refining?"

Qi Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and whispered, "It's been long enough."

"Brother Qi, be quiet."

Jiang Xiaolong frowned and spoke lightly.

"It's just heating up the furnace. Although I don't make pills, I know a little bit. Why are you panicking, brother?"

Qi Xuan sneered when he heard it, and said lightly, and then stopped talking.

Jiang Xiaolong just glanced at him calmly, and didn't continue to speak, but looked at Yu Xian.

Yu Xian heated the furnace, using seven pieces of charcoal. Just this point made him have a flash of inspiration, and his eyes showed approval.

This kid is really a genius in alchemy.

Maybe he can really refine a fifth-level treasure pill with his foundation-building cultivation!

However, the medicinal properties of those herbs are extremely complicated, and there are often more than a dozen or even dozens of them at the same time.

Is his spiritual power enough for his cultivation in the early stage of foundation-building? Can he handle it with multiple tasks?

Just wait and see...

Yu Xian looked calm, his eyes were bright, and he was calculating in his mind.

The furnace was heated quickly, and he suddenly waved his hand, and the first herb flew up. He tapped it continuously, stimulating its medicinal properties and sending it into the furnace.

Then, it was a dazzling array of flowers!

Yu Xian waved his hands, pulling out phantoms. His strong physical body was enough to support him to tap ten spiritual herbs with his hands.

The other spiritual herbs were stimulated by the eight spiritual energies that were differentiated. Yu Xian's cultivation was low, and the spiritual energy could only be differentiated into so many.

This is also the shackles of the alchemist. If you don't reach a certain level, you will never be able to refine higher-level pills, because the spiritual energy is not enough to support it.

The other four herbs were constantly tapped by the four vines that appeared behind Yu Xian to stimulate the medicinal effects!

One mind and twenty-two uses, no effect on each other!

Although it is a multi-faceted application, it is not worse than Jiang Xiaolong's pure use of spiritual energy to differentiate into twenty-two!

Everyone's eyes were slightly focused at this moment.

Yu Xian's operation is fine, but... a little complicated.

It's relying on hands, it's relying on the differentiation of spiritual energy, and it's relying on spell vines.

How did he come up with these tricks?

The key is that he really did it, and the effect is the same!

Jiang Xiaolong looked at Yu Xian, and couldn't help raising his hand and touching his mustache.

With admiration in his eyes, he couldn't help but think of a sentence in his heart.

"Senior Brother Xiao has accepted a good disciple..."

Su Mofeng also frowned slightly, with a touch of shock in his eyes.

Thinking of the time when Xiao Wusheng brought Yu Xian, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, to him and wanted to exchange him for the Alchemy Workshop.

He really looks ordinary.

His spiritual roots are not obvious, his qualifications are not good, and he has no temperament.

At that time, I just thought that Xiao Wusheng was idle, so I didn't care and let him go.

But now it seems that the vision of this old guy Xiao Wusheng is much more vicious than his own.

However, he is in charge of the Hundred Mineral Workshop, and basically doesn't ask about the situation of his disciples. As long as there is enough ore to hand over to the inner gate every month, he just practices hard.

I am the only one!

Other geniuses have nothing to do with me.

Even if I had discovered Yu Xian's talent at that time, I didn't have the time or the leisure to teach him.

Everyone had different expressions.

Yu Xian was always calm.

He kept stimulating the spiritual herbs and sending them into the alchemy furnace, while controlling the temperature. A trace of medicinal fragrance began to echo in the hall.

More than one hundred kinds of spiritual herbs are complicated and time-consuming.

After nearly an incense stick of time, Yu Xian, with sweat on his forehead, sent the last herb into the furnace, looking at the white jade alchemy furnace calmly and calculating the time.

"So that's it!"

It was Jiang Xiaolong's eyes that flickered. Watching Yu Xian making the elixir, he suddenly understood why he had failed before!

That Fire Dust Leaf, my stimulating technique turned out to be two points slower!

That Cold Flame Repelling Fruit, my stimulating technique turned out to be three points faster!

And the White Spirit Fruit, the Fish-Shaped Grass, the Morning Glow Flower...

I made so many mistakes!

Yu Xian... Yu Xian!

Jiang Xiaolong suddenly realized that he had seen the rise of a master of alchemy!

He saw a seed of a master of alchemy, who had not yet become a master, but would definitely become one in the future!

The gap between himself and Yu Xian in alchemy talent was as big as a gulf!

Jiang Xiaolong looked at Yu Xian with his Adam's apple moving slightly.

There was approval, admiration, appreciation, and also... jealousy and a hint of murderous intent!

He was really jealous. He was over eighty years old, but his alchemy attainments were not as good as those of a twenty-one-year-old young man!

We are all human! Why is there such a big gap in natural talent! ?

Why can others understand the same thing at a glance, but he can't comprehend it even after thinking hard and racking his brains! ?

God is so unfair!

"Go!"

Just when Jiang Xiaolong was feeling extremely complicated.

Yu Xian shouted, put his two fingers together, and raised them up.

The last blood of the earth dragon flew out in a blood line and rushed straight to the alchemy furnace!

The moment the blood line came to the alchemy furnace, the furnace cover suddenly opened, letting it fall in, and then closed it again.

The timing was calculated to the extreme!

If it was a little slower, the blood line would hit the furnace cover, and the furnace of spiritual herbs would be completely useless!

This move made Jiang Xiaolong's heart twitch.

He just waited until the furnace cover was opened before he dared to send the earth dragon blood in!

The fragrance began to spread, but it was much lighter than before.

This is the normal release of the drug effect.

Yu Xian's expression was still calm, but his whole body was sweating.

But Bu Yunyi was impervious to water and fire, so the sweat would only flow down his back and would not soak his clothes.

It was the last moment.

Even the other five people who did not know how to make pills looked solemn.

The final finishing touch was particularly important. The previous steps had been completed, and success or failure depended on this last step!

Jiang Xiaolong's eyes suddenly relaxed, and he exhaled quietly, with a look of joy in his eyes.

The pill was made... he knew it!

He could feel it!

Buzz!

Whether the pill in the furnace was made or not was still unknown.

However, under the white jade pill furnace, the six-star array suddenly lit up and began to rotate mysteriously and obscurely, and it was extremely difficult to understand.

Yu Xian's eyes flashed, but his mind was unmoved. He still raised his hand and pointed at the white jade pill furnace to control the temperature.

But everyone was shocked and couldn't help but step forward a few steps!

The six-pointed star array moved!

Could it be that the switch of the next level has been turned on! ?

"The pill is done..."

Yu Xian suddenly whispered softly, his eyes flashed, and his hands clicked!

The flame of the pill furnace instantly became extremely blazing, and the lid of the white jade pill furnace opened with a bang!

A yellow light flashed, and a pill flew out and flew towards Yu Xian's outstretched hand.

But before the pill flew into Yu Xian's hand, the hexagram array suddenly shot out three rays of light, grabbing the middle-grade Huanglong Blood Dust Pill on the spot, and instantly pulled it back and fell into the formation.

"What's going on!?"

Everyone couldn't help it at all, and rushed over directly, surrounding the hexagram array.

Yu Xian exhaled, slowly stood up, with a touch of excitement and excitement in his eyes.

He didn't mind that the pill was sucked away by the hexagram array.

Because he had already made a fifth-level pill!

I can really make a fifth-level pill!

Strictly speaking, I am now better than my original master.

"It seems that the elixir has fed the formation." Jiang Xiaolong looked at the hexagram formation, then scanned the surroundings and said, "Since the elixir has fed the formation, the passage to the next level of the tomb or to the coffin of the strong man should be opened." Boom! As soon as he finished speaking, the whole tomb shook with a roar, as if it was about to collapse! The seven people's faces changed, and they hurriedly cast spells to escape, otherwise once the hall collapsed, they would be buried in the mountain. Even if this is a small mountain, it weighs tens of millions of pounds! It can't crush them to death, but it is enough to trap them to death! However, the shaking came and went quickly, and it stopped before everyone left. It was right in front of the hall, and then a passage slowly cracked. A stream of gray breath poured out from the passage, full of decay. Just this smell made everyone frown, and then their eyes flashed. The smell of corruption... Corpse! ? It seems that after passing this passage, it is very likely that the burial place of the owner of this tomb is also the place where he left his inheritance.

"Hahaha! There is indeed a passage! There is indeed!"

Qi Xuan laughed loudly, very excited, and took a step forward and went straight to the passage.

Seeing this, the others naturally did not want to fall behind him, and they all quickly followed.

Only Jiang Xiaolong quickly put away the white jade alchemy furnace, looked at Yu Xian and said: "Junior Brother Yu, thank you, how are you now?"

Yu Xian shook his head and said: "I'm fine, just a little tired, just a little rest, senior brother, go quickly, otherwise the benefits will be taken away by others."

"Okay!"

Jiang Xiaolong's eyes were full of relief, nodded heavily, and quickly caught up.

"Hu..."

The six people disappeared in the passage.

Yu Xian exhaled slowly in one breath, raised his hand to take a pill and ate it, and took out two medium-grade spirit stones to absorb, and then slowly recovered.

The fifth-level pill...too tiring, too mentally draining!

If I had the spiritual power of the late stage of foundation building, or even perfect spiritual power, it would be more than ten times easier!

Taking another deep breath, Yu Xian glanced at the empty tomb hall, used his skills, and while drying the sweat on his body, he walked into the passage.

He didn't have much desire to fight for what was inside.

But this passage was opened by himself.

I have to go in and take a look.

What is inside!

PS: I'm late, sorry, this chapter is 6,000 words long.
