"Zhou Bo, why don't you tell me when you come?" An Wu patted Zhou Bo's thin shoulder boldly, and the latter looked at An Fu's embarrassed smile at this time, and then said to An Wu: "I'm here to sell some herbs, and I'm going to go back." ”

As soon as An Wu heard Zhou Bo say that he was leaving, he hurriedly said that he would wait a while, and after speaking, he turned around and squeezed the crowd towards the counter, Zhou Bo was curious about what An Wu was doing, but he found that An Wu had already returned, and he also held a white jade bottle in his hand.

"Zhou Bo, I don't have anything to give you, this is twenty red spirit pills, just take it as a gift from me to you. Saying that, An Wu handed it to Zhou Bo in his hand, and the people around him heard that it was twenty red spirit pills, and they all looked at Zhou Bo with envy.

Zhou Bo lowered his head at this time, his body trembled slightly, An Wu thought that Zhou Bo was more excited after seeing the Red Spirit Pill, so he patted him on the shoulder again, and said to Zhou Bo: "Quickly put it up! ”

Zhou Bo slowly took the white jade bottle and carefully put it in his pocket. Actually, this red elixir has no effect on him at all, but Zhou Bo didn't expect An Wu to give him the red elixir, he hasn't felt the warmth of others for a long time, since Tong Yao and Qingxi left, he has become a person again, and now that someone suddenly gives him something, Zhou Bo will inevitably be a little uncontrollable, and at the same time, he is more determined to protect this medicine shop, and must not let Zhao Tongmu succeed.

"Thank you. After saying thank you to An Wu seriously, Zhou Bo nodded to An Fu again, and then turned around and left the overcrowded Anfu Pharmacy.

It's just that Zhou Bo didn't know that not long after he left, An Han's delicate shout sounded in Anfu Pharmacy: "He dares to ignore me!!"

After Zhou Bo returned home, he carefully put the bottle of red spirit pill into the ice condensation ring, and immediately took out the Chiyan Ding, preparing to refine the Hidden Qi Pill and the Hui Spirit Pill. He can now achieve half the success rate of refining second-level pills, and the speed of refining the spiritual power of herbs has also become faster, so it can be said that all this is inseparable from his efforts.

Zhou Bo took out a large handful of herbs of different shapes from the ice condensation ring and put them beside him, and then began the long refining process, from day to night, Zhou Bo did not move a single step during this period, and when he refined the last trace of herbal spiritual power in his body, looking at the ten Hidden Qi Pills and five Huiling Pills that he had refined in his hand, Zhou Bo smiled with satisfaction, because the success rate of alchemy today is very high, these fifteen second-level pills have only failed about ten times, for a pill master who has only cultivated for more than half a year, the success rate of refining second-level pills can exceed fifty percent, it is simply appalling.

You must know that if other pill masters are cultivating at the same time as Xiuzhen, then it will take three years to reach the foundation building at the earliest, and in these three years, they must not be distracted from doing other things, they can only concentrate on refining first-level pills to improve their own strength, and the success rate of refining pills is still very unstable.

But Zhou Bo was different, he absorbed Qinglong's Divine Beast Body Fire at the beginning, so that he laid a good foundation in an instant, and reached the Qi Condensation Cultivation, and then after Qingxi's training and his unremitting efforts, this is like climbing a ladder to reach the current level. Moreover, this is not counting the fact that Zhou Bo spent half of his time cultivating the skill exercises, so this is a miracle in itself.

If you tell a cultivator Zhou Bo that he can cultivate in half a year, and he is also a second-level pill pharmacist, then it is estimated that all the cultivators in the mainland will take the lead for Zhou Bo.

Looking at the street outside in the dead of night, Zhou Bo carefully put all the fifteen pills in his hand into the ice condensation ring, and then, he slowly stood up and stretched, and then dragged his tired body to the bed, and fell asleep as soon as he turned over.

Opening his worried eyes, looking at the chaotic room in front of him, he shook his head, he couldn't remember how many times he fell asleep during alchemy, looking at the lively streets outside, Zhou Bo mechanically took out the Chiyan Ding from the ice condensation ring and began to continue alchemy.

Since the last time Zhao Tongmu glanced at Zhou Bo intentionally or unintentionally, he has been nesting in the room refining pills, basically never going out, but when he lacked some kind of herbs when refining pills, he would wash his face at will, change into decent clothes and go to Anfu Pharmacy to get some herbs back.

Anfu Pharmacy has now returned to that deserted feeling, since that time Zhou Bo asked Anfu to remove the Red Spirit Pill, the business of Anfu Pharmacy has plummeted, and it just barely maintains the operation of the pharmacy by selling some ordinary pills.

However, to An Fu's delight, after the removal of the Red Spirit Pill, Zhao Tongmu did not take any means of retaliation, and even the friction between the two pharmacists became smaller and smaller, although the scale of the medicine shop can only be regarded as a medium-sized one in Dragon Pattern City now, but An Fu is also used to this kind of life, and there are not many complaints.

No longer thinking about this, Zhou Bo quickly urged the spiritual power into the ding, and after adjusting the temperature of the flame, he took out a large handful of herbs from the ice condensation ring and threw them into the medicine ding at will.

Quickly divided the flames into five parts, and quickly wrapped all the herbs, and then, began the long refining process, watching the impurities on the herbs being eliminated little by little, Zhou Bo's slightly tired face also began to become serious, concentrating on controlling the five cyan flames churning up and down in the ding.

After only a while, the herbs in the green fire slowly began to melt, and I saw that in these cyan flames, three different colors of medicinal liquids were gradually revealed, and they flipped up and down with Zhou Bo's thoughts in the medicine tripod, which was extremely beautiful. About an hour later, the herbal liquid in the green fire had become very pure at this time, and then looking at Zhou Bo's face, it was also full of seriousness, and he concentrated on starting the second step of alchemy-Ning Dan.

But at this moment, there was a sudden bang from inside the medicine tripod, and Zhou Bo saw that the flame closest to him suddenly exploded, looking at the herb ashes in the medicine tripod, Zhou Bo didn't dare to be distracted, and hurriedly concentrated on controlling the fusion of the medicinal liquid in the other four flames.

Not long after, under Zhou Bo's extremely attentive control, the remaining four balls of liquid medicine were successfully fused, and I saw the four white pills flipped in the green flames, which was dazzling.

But at this time, Zhou Bo did not open the pill, but let the four white pills continue to refine in the flames, and then looking at Zhou Bo's expression at this moment, he did not relax at all because of the success of the Ning Dan, and his face was still full of seriousness. After another hour like this, the four white pills gradually lost their luster in the refining of the green fire, and small cracks began to appear on the surface of the pills, at this time, one of the pills seemed to be unable to withstand the domineering green fire anymore, and with a snap, it split into two halves and fell from the green fire, turning into a ball of powder, and then, the other three pills also cracked from it and fell into the medicine pod.

Zhou Bo slowly withdrew the green fire back into his body after seeing the pill split, and waited until the last trace of flame in the medicine pod disappeared, Zhou Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to refine the herbal spiritual power in his body.

It turned out that Zhou Bo's main task now was to improve his cultivation, so he deliberately refined all the pills with green fire when he was alchemizing, so that the spiritual power of the herbs contained in the green fire would be much more than before, and it would be very pure. And the reason why a herb is not directly refined is because the spiritual power contained in the herb is too domineering for ordinary people to bear, and the spiritual power of a pill is neutralized by several herbs, and all its impurities are removed with flames, so the spiritual power is relatively much gentler.

After refining that pure herbal spiritual power, Zhou Bo first divided a large part and injected it into the pitch-black spirit embryo, and then some meridians circulating along his legs and arms for several weeks before stopping.

When Zhou Bo opened his eyes again, a touch of green light suddenly came out, which looked extremely weird, and after a while, the light disappeared and turned into black eyes again.

Suddenly, Qinglong said with a smile in his tone: "Yes, there is still one step left to break through the foundation." ”

"Bang bang bang. Just as Zhou Bo wanted to reply, a knock on the door suddenly sounded. Seeing this, he hurriedly put Chi Yanding and some of the surrounding jade bottles back into the Ice Condensation Ring, and then quickly walked over to open the door.

After opening the door, Zhou Bo was surprised to find that it was Wei Yue standing at the door, only to see her wearing a red dress, her beautiful face seemed to have not changed at all, after seeing Zhou Bo open the door, her mouth opened slightly, as if she was startled by Zhou Bo's appearance, her hands cramped fiddled with her clothes, and her expression seemed a little twisted.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Zhou Bo was also slightly shocked after seeing Wei Yue, but immediately returned to normal, and asked suspiciously.

"Why have you become like this in just over ten days?" Wei Yue muttered to herself in surprise, because Zhou Bo, who was originally quite delicate, had unkempt hair at this time, a pair of sleepy eyes, some mud on his face, and only wore a robe that barely covered his body, and he knew at a glance that he had just gotten up, but this was too sloppy.

"The Pharmacist Contest starts tomorrow, you ...... Aren't you participating?" Wei Yue said as she was visibly frightened, her voice trembling.

"Not participating. Zhou Bo only said this sentence flatly, and then there was no follow-up, which made Wei Yue quite embarrassed.

At this time, Zhou Bo suddenly heard several slow footsteps on the side, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that the comers were An Han and An Wu.

The two stopped beside Wei Yue, and then, An Wu said with a smile: "Zhou Bo, don't be busy refusing first, I heard that this pharmacist competition is different from previous years, and the immortal chief of Tongqingmen will also come to watch the battle, if you get good results, you can be directly admitted to Tongqingmen!"

Wei Yue hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, the immortal elders said they would come. ”

As soon as he heard about Tongqingmen, the first impression in Zhou Bo's mind was that there were many disciples in the Xiuzhen Sect, but he didn't want to attract attention and enter the Xiuzhen Sect, so after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in Xiuzhen." ”

"Hmph, I think you're afraid of losing your ranking!" Such arrogant words came from An Han on the side, and as soon as these words came out, Wei Yue and An Wu glared at her at the same time, signaling her to keep her mouth shut.

At this time, Wei Yue spoke again: "Zhou Bo, the competition will start tomorrow, you better hurry up and sign up." ”

This made Zhou Bo quite embarrassed, and the beauty invited, although he also wanted to try his skills, but his identity was no longer the little pharmacist he was a year ago, and there were more important things waiting for him.

Shaking his head again, looking at Wei Yue and An Wu's disappointed eyes, Zhou Bo could only smile apologetically, and the meaning of sending off guests was especially obvious.

After they reluctantly left, Zhou Bo closed the door tightly, for him now, the most important thing is to improve his cultivation quickly, if there is no strength, everything is empty talk.

Zhou Bo was now planning to refine a new elixir, and after carefully looking through the volume of prescriptions given by Qing Xi, he finally chose a second-grade elixir called Yan Liquid.

"Flame liquid, second-level elixir, required herbs: Flame Fruit, Spiritual Milk, Spiritual Herb. When the user ingests the flame liquid, the spiritual power in the body can be turned into a substantial flame, and it will have a healing effect on the user of the fire attribute. "The following are some illustrated books of alchemy steps and herbs, Zhou Bo looked at it very carefully, and after a while he closed the book, carefully took out the Chiyan Ding, and prepared to start refining the Yan liquid.

Zhou Bo searched out the Flame Fruit from the Ice Condensation Ring, the bright red fruit was the size of a fist, and there seemed to be flames circulating inside, which was extremely beautiful.

He quickly put his hands close to the medicine tripod, and after adjusting the flame in the tripod to the minimum, Zhou Bo threw the red fruit into it. I saw that as soon as the fruit came into contact with the cyan flame, it began to flip violently, and after a while, it turned into a cloud of red liquid, seeing this, Zhou Bo hurriedly put the liquid into the jade bottle, and secretly thought: "I didn't expect the Flame Fruit to be so easy to refine." ”

Without hesitation, Zhou Bo began to refine the other two herbs: the white spirit fruit and the cyan spirit grass, their main effect is to materialize the spiritual power and restore the spiritual power, quickly separated the two flames, instantly wrapped the two herbs, and began to refine carefully, and when the spirit fruit began to melt slowly, Zhou Bo stopped heating, watching the white liquid become more and more refined, and the spirit grass also began to melt slowly, at this time Zhou Bo quickly poured the liquid of the scorching flame fruit into the medicine pod, and began the fusion process.

For some reason, Zhou Bo felt that the three liquids were very easy to fuse, not only did they not resist anything, but they were actually attracted to each other.

After a while, three clusters of liquid of different colors fused into a light red liquid. Zhou Bo saw that with a wave of one hand, the liquid rushed out of the medicine pod and flew towards Zhou Bo, and hurriedly took out the jade bottle to catch the liquid, and after seeing the small ball of red liquid in the bottle, Zhou Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Slowly inhaling the cyan flame in the medicine pod into his body, Zhou Bo began to do his best to refine the spiritual power of the herbs, and after the refining was complete, Zhou Bo injected all the cyan herbal spiritual power into the spirit embryo, but when all the spiritual power was injected into the spirit embryo, Zhou Bo immediately felt that all the cells in his body were trembling, and even the pitch-black spirit embryo was faintly shaking.

This sudden situation caught Zhou Bo off guard, and he hurriedly put down the jade bottle in his hand, and sat on the ground unprepared and entered the cultivation state.

At this time, he felt that the spiritual power of his whole body was rapidly absorbed by the spirit embryo, and after a while, the spiritual power of the whole body had been absorbed, but the suction in the spirit embryo showed no signs of stopping, and at this time, Zhou Bo felt that every pore on his body had been opened, and he was quickly absorbing the meager spiritual power in the air.

Seeing this, Zhou Bo did not hesitate, and quickly took out a spirit pill from the ice condensation ring and ate it, and the entrance turned into a warm ball, flowing to all corners of the body, Zhou Bo only felt that the spiritual power in his body was restored instantly, but at the same time, the spiritual power that had just recovered was also quickly absorbed by the spirit embryo.

In this way, after Zhou Bo ate the three spirit pills, the suction power of the spirit embryo gradually began to weaken, but it still absorbed the spiritual power in the air intermittently, as if breathing and exhaling.
