Coming back from Lin Shuwen, Zhan Chen couldn't wait to look at the pill of the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill, but after reading it, he fell into deep thought, this pill is the most difficult pill he has ever seen to refine, and the complexity of its process and the preciousness of the medicinal materials make the alchemists prohibitive, and the acceptance rate of this pill is extremely low, if the alchemists below the Earth Star Realm cultivate to refine the power is only one percent.

But even if refining this elixir cost such a big price, Zhan Chen was still willing to try, because if this could allow him to directly break through from the six-star crosshairs, to the seventh-star crosshairs.

So Zhan Chen temporarily left the Lin Family Martial Hall and came to the Fang City, he came directly to the Lingdan Pavilion where he had always had a cooperative relationship and happened to meet Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "God of Wealth, you are finally here." ”

Zhan Chen smiled: "How is Shopkeeper Zhang lately?"

"Very good, let's talk upstairs. ”

"Well, okay. ”

The two went upstairs to the private room and sat down, and Zhang Heng asked, "War manager, why haven't I seen you for a while recently?"

Zhan Chen replied, "You should know that I entered the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall to study. ”

"Hehe, I know, so I didn't have time to come to me, but you missed a lot of star stones. ”

Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said, "I have devoted myself to learning alchemy just to earn more star stones and deepen cooperation with you." ”

"That's really good!" Zhang Heng said with a smile, the higher Zhan Chen's alchemy, the more star stones he earned, because Zhan Chen wanted far fewer things than the alchemists he hired at a high price.

After a pause, Zhang Heng asked again: "Then why did you come to me today?"

Zhan Chen took a sip of tea before he said, "I'm here to ask you for help, I'm trying to refine a new elixir, called the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill." ”

Zhang Heng was taken aback and asked, "Have you got the pill prescription for this elixir?"

Zhan Chen nodded, and immediately asked curiously, "Shopkeeper Zhang, do you also know this kind of elixir?"

"Of course, I have been doing business with the Lin family for so many years, this elixir has repeatedly worked wonders, helping the Lin family cultivate many powerful cultivators, the most recent one is our big proprietor Lin Wusheng, I heard that he jumped from a six-star crosshairs-level to a seven-star crosshair-star realm powerhouse, and he took this pill, do you also want to follow his path?"

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Zhang Heng sighed and said, "Although this elixir is very anti-heavenly, not all cultivators are suitable for taking it, especially if a mid-level quasi-star realm powerhouse like you takes it, there is a lot of risk if it is taken. ”

"Is the pill still risky?"

"Of course, the Ascending Dragon Star Breaking Pill is fierce and domineering, it is originally suitable for the strong people who have cultivated above the seven-star crosshairs, and the strong people of the six-star crosshairs realm have to withstand the impact of powerful medicinal power, if the body is not strong enough and the will is slightly weak, it will cause the meridians to be damaged and the cultivation will regress. Zhan Chen, you must know that the shortcuts you can take are usually more dangerous than normal roads. ”

"Even so, I'm willing to try and I believe in myself. ”

"Well, if you're that confident, I won't say much. ”

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I came to you today just to ask you to help me see how much these medicinal materials cost. Zhan Chen handed him a long list, there were as many as fifty-eight kinds of elixirs listed on it, these were all the elixirs needed to refine the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill, you can estimate the price for me. ”

Zhang Heng took the list and looked at it, and said, "If you go to any elixir pavilion to buy these elixirs, they will cost at least 30,000 medium-grade star stones." ”

"It's so expensive!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but be surprised, an elixir is 30,000 medium-grade star stones, and the success rate of the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill is only 10%, which means that it costs 300,000 medium-grade star stones to refine one, which is definitely a lot of money for ordinary quasi-star realm powerhouses.

"Do you think there's a place where it's cheaper?"

Zhang Heng didn't say a word, he directly took out a piece of paper, wrote a letter, handed it to Zhan Chen, and said, "Zhan Steward, you take this to a place called Qianyaolou in the city to try it, they are the main suppliers of our Lingdan Pavilion, and they should give you a cost price." ”

"Thank you so much!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but exclaim, he was glad that he had come to the right place.

"Hehe, helping you is equivalent to helping myself, if your alchemy is improved, it will be beneficial to me and no harm. ”

"Then shopkeeper, I'll take my leave. ”

"Slow down and don't send it!"

Zhan Chen stood up suddenly, turned around and went downstairs, after leaving the Spirit Pill Pavilion, he inquired all the way, and finally found the Spirit Medicine Pavilion called the Thousand Medicine Pavilion in Zhang Heng's mouth, entered it and found their shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of Qianyaolou was a middle-aged man named Chen Ju, and after reading Zhang Heng's letter, he said: "War manager, although our shop here does not belong to Lin Wusheng, it is also one of the Lin family's industries, so I will give you the cost price, show me the list of elixirs." ”

Zhan Chen immediately handed the list to Chen Ju, Chen Ju glanced at the list and said, "I'll give you the lowest price directly, a 20,000 medium-grade star stone." ”

"Couldn't it be cheaper?" Zhan Chen couldn't help asking.

"Not a single star stone will do. ”

Zhan Chen sighed and said, "Okay then, I want ten." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll prepare it for you. Chen Ju stood up and left, Shaoqing, he came back again, handed over ten elixirs to Zhan Chen, and Zhan Chen also handed over 200,000 medium-grade star stones to him.

After leaving, Zhan Chen was still thinking: "Alchemist is really a profession that costs money, although I earned one million medium-grade star stones, but I spent 200,000 at once, I feel that how many star stones are not enough to spend." ”

Back in the dormitory, Zhan Chen immediately began to prepare for refining the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill. In order to improve his success rate, he repeatedly reviewed the techniques needed to refine the elixir before he began to refine it.

However, it failed the first time, and the reason for the failure was that the medicinal power of more than fifty kinds of pills was mixed together and conflicted with each other, resulting in an imbalance in the process of condensing the pill.

Summing up the experience, Zhan Chen opened the furnace again, but the second time he still failed, and the reason for the failure was still because he did not master the balance between the medicinal powers of various elixirs.

The third time is still a failure, and the fourth time is still a failure...... Until all the ten elixirs were refined, he didn't succeed once, and the 200,000 medium-grade star stones were just like that, and Zhan Chen's mood was heavy.

At this time, it was time for Lin Shuwen to teach, and Zhan Chen went to Purple Smoke Garden to take classes again. Lin Shuwen looked at him with a sullen look, and knew that he was in trouble, so he tried to ask: "Zhan Chen, have you started refining the pill I gave you for the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill?"

Zhan Chen sighed and said, "It's not going well, I prepared ten elixirs, but they all failed. ”

"Hehe, ten elixirs, it seems that the capital you have invested is not small. ”

"Teacher, I have limited funds and can't afford to spend like this. ”

"Zhan Chen, do you know? How many times did I fail to get this pill in the first place?"

"The students don't know. ”

"A hundred failures! So what do you get ten times?"

Zhan Chen came back to his senses and said ashamedly, "Teacher, thank you for reminding me." ”

"The Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill is the top existence in the one-star pills, and its value is even higher than some low-level two-star pills, in short, work hard, I am optimistic about you. ”

"It's the master. ”

After returning from studying from Lin Shuwen, Zhan Chen went directly to the Thousand Medicine Building, bought thirty copies of the elixir, returned to the dormitory, and continued refining.

The situation still didn't seem to be getting better, Zhan Chen's refining still failed again and again, but he himself felt strange that the original feeling of impetuousness had completely disappeared.

Now Zhan Chen's heart is as calm as water, almost mechanically performing the alchemy taught to him by Lin Shuwen, his refining can be said to be flawless, but it is too difficult to balance the various elixirs of the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill, perhaps it is difficult for Zhan Chen's cultivation to control and maintain the weak balance between these elixirs, as long as an accidental factor can lead to a failure of alchemy.

It can be said that Zhan Chen has already done everything he should have done, all he needs is a coincidence, a coincidence that all the elixirs can maintain balance, and this coincidence has finally come when he refined the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill for the thirty-first time.

The moment Dan Cheng, Zhan Chen couldn't help but burst into tears, he had never suffered so many failures in a row since he became an alchemist, and this time it could be said to be unprecedented.

Looking at the charming elixir that shone like a golden bead in his hand, Zhan Chen couldn't help but sigh: "In order to refine you, I have spent thirty-one medicinal materials and more than 600,000 medium-grade star stones, which is enough to buy some two-star elixirs, I hope you can help me break through the seven-star quasi-star realm." ”

After putting away the pill, Zhan Chen hurried to Lin Shuwen, told him the good news of his success, and asked him for leave to retreat and practice.

Lin Shuwen immediately agreed to his request, and also encouraged him to cultivate hard and break through the seven-star quasi-star realm as soon as possible.

So, Zhan Chen had no worries anymore, and when he returned to the dormitory, he locked himself in the cultivation room, sat in the center of the cultivation room, and took out the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill that he had refined, and pondered for a while before putting the pill in his mouth.

However, in just an instant, Zhan Chen's face changed completely, and it turned out that the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill turned into an incomparably huge medicinal power that filled his entire body at once.

The medicinal power was still pouring out of the pill, impacting the meridians of Zhan Chen's body, making him feel that the meridians began to hurt.

At this time, what Zhang Heng had said to him seemed to ring in his ears again, although the medicinal power of the Ascending Dragon Breaking Star Pill was powerful, but if a person who did not have enough strength and willpower took it, it would be a disaster, and he could be regarded as fully aware of it.

"Don't panic, hold on!" Zhan Chen continued to encourage himself in his heart, and at the same time began to operate the Nebula Duel, slowly absorbing the medicinal power, in the process, his cultivation was also growing rapidly at an incredible speed.
