After sending Zhan Xu away, Su Yun locked herself in her room and sobbed for three days, and didn't say a word for a week. Zhan Chen didn't feel good in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Yes, at this time, you especially can't be lost, but you have to cheer up, only when you are strong, can you better become a big tree that your son and wife can rely on.

So Zhan Chen asked Chu Danqing for a three-year long vacation to start the first retreat in the true sense of the past 20 years.

In the cultivation room, Zhan Chen sat quietly on top of the futon, with the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace and nearly thirty kinds of elixirs in front of him. Today, he wants to start refining the seventh-grade mid-rank elixir again, and impact the middle-rank realm of the Martial Emperor!

For a long time before, he had insisted on not using the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace for alchemy, in order to improve his furnace control skills. After such a long time, what changes will there be in using the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace to refine the pill again, which makes Zhan Chen faintly look forward to it in his heart.

Because he understands that he is no longer what he used to be, relying on the alchemy skills he learned from Chu Danqing, maybe he can make another breakthrough.

Cutting off his distracting thoughts, Zhan Chen asked Huang'er to raise the Nirvana Divine Flame, and then put the elixirs into the furnace one by one, Huang'er will naturally refine these elixirs one by one, unlike ordinary Dan furnace alchemy that can perform furnace control techniques, Nirvana Divine Flame is completely out of his control, and only the spirit of the Dan furnace - Huang'er can control it.

Therefore, Zhan Chen could only contact Huang'er through his divine sense and let her adjust the size of the flames, so naturally he could not achieve perfection. In the step of refining the elixir, Zhan Chen had no way at all.

But he is not without progress at all, because through studying the "Hundred Herbs Collection Sutra" and reading a large number of elixir materials, he has now reached an unprecedented height in the medicinal properties of various elixirs and the heat to be mastered in the refining process. Therefore, although the quenching process is not perfect, it is still a hundred times more refined than in the past.

Looking at the above the fire, the elixir essence that was as crystal clear as white marble, Zhan Chen was infinitely happy, and he felt his great progress.

In the refining elixir, there was only so much he could do, but in the process of condensing the elixir, he could go all out! One by one, the elixir was decisively used, further filtering out the impurities in the elixir, and making the distribution of the elixir components more uniform and reasonable.

Gradually, Zhan Chen finally understood why Chu Danqing once said that the process of alchemy is an art, and the moment he saw the birth of his masterpiece, the joy in his heart was really irrepressible!

But he steadied himself and quietly carried out the last step of recuperation, this time waiting a full hour before carefully lifting the lid of the stove.

A bright silver elixir slipped out of the crack and wanted to escape into the air. And Zhan Chen, who had been waiting on the side, waited for an opportunity to move, grabbed it into his hand, and the little thing was still restless when he held it in his hand, and struggled vigorously for a while before calming down.

Zhan Chen faintly felt that the spirituality of this pill was higher than the pill he had refined before, and he spread out his palm to examine it carefully, it was still a nine-colored pill, but his figure was smaller than the same kind of pill he had refined in the past.

He was about to put it in a jade bottle and refine it later, but Leng Buding saw that there seemed to be a trace of golden light on the side of the white Dan halo. Could it be that he saw it wrong, Zhan Chen hurriedly raised it above his head to observe it again, and sure enough, there was a trace of golden light, it was mixed in the middle of the white and red vertical halos, it looked very inconspicuous, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would ignore it.

Zhan Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he thought of a possibility: "This is the Tenth Color Dan Halo, that legendary realm!"

In fact, in the process of alchemy for a long time, he always had this question in his heart: Is the ninth turn the highest grade of the golden pill? Can there be a breakthrough above the ninth turn? Now through his practice, he has finally come to a conclusion: "The tenth-turn golden pill exists!"

However, a new question arose, why didn't the Ten Turns Pill be recorded in the classics I had read? Was there any secret in this? Or was it an omission on the part of those authors? Or did I have to go to the Ten Thousand Laws Continent to see the Ten Turns Golden Pill?

This puzzle could not be solved to Zhan Chen's current level, and he could only explore it through his own alchemy practice.

What is the effect of the newly refined elixir? He was looking forward to it, and hurriedly meditated and breathed, restored his true essence, and adjusted his state to the best before carefully taking out the elixir and stuffing it into his mouth.

The pill quickly turned into a surging medicinal power and merged into the dantian, and Zhan Chen hurriedly began to absorb this medicinal power with all his might...... In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and he slowly opened his eyes, stood up, shook off the dust on his body, and sighed: "The medicinal power of this pill is really different from the pill I refined before, and it has increased by nearly ten percent!

In the days that followed, he began the retreat, trying again and again, but only refining one elixir. Sure enough, as his refining techniques continued to become proficient, the golden light in the refined pill became more and more obvious, and the medicinal power became deeper and deeper.

But the strange thing is that no matter how hard Zhan Chen tried, he could never refine the legendary Ten Turns Golden Pill. At this time, he would blame the reason on the fact that his alchemy technique was not perfect enough.

It wasn't until many years later that Zhan Chen understood why he couldn't refine the "Ten Turns Golden Pill" in the true sense, and even why there was no mention of "Ten Turns Golden Pill" in the documents he had seen.

In the process of continuous attempts, his cultivation gradually grew. The three-year retreat seems to have passed unusually quickly, in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after Zhan Chen finished refining the last Nine Rank Golden Pill, he stood up and waved his fist a few times, frowning slightly, because he felt that his fist seemed to have become soft and fluttery, and the originally domineering Mixed Gold True Yuan seemed to be a little jerky when it operated.

Zhan Chen understood that he had been sitting for too long, and he only relied on the effect of the pill to cultivate comfortably, so that he was resurrected and did nothing, and his strength did not advance but retreated. How could he be strong and diligent, how could he be strong enough to break through the bottleneck of Emperor Wu's middle rank? He couldn't help but feel worried.

The next day, he went to the Purple Smoke Hall to perform his duties as usual and met with Elder Chu. Chu Danqing looked at Zhan Chen, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Zhan Chen, I haven't seen you for the past three years, but I can think about it as a teacher." Without your help, the elixirs refined for the teacher seem to be much worse than before. ”

Chu Danqing, who has always been serious, joked with Zhan Chen, which shows how much he loves this apprentice.

Zhan Chen arched his hand and replied: "Master, you are serious, how can the apprentice be so important." ”

"Hehe, okay, don't laugh, Zhan Chen has gained anything from his three-year retreat?"

When Zhan Chen heard Chu Danqing say this, his brows frowned slightly, and he replied truthfully: "It's not satisfactory." ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"Teacher, I have relied on the elixir I have refined myself for the past three years to accumulate and cultivate, but the power I have obtained is too cheap, and it seems to be vain and weak, big and not refined. ”

Chu Danqing stroked his beard and said, "I know, Zhan Chen, are you saying that you lack experience." ”

Zhan Chen nodded.

"Then I'll recommend you a good place to practice, but it's very dangerous, and I really don't know if it's the right or wrong decision to tell you about this place. Chu Danqing said suddenly.

"Where is the training?" Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But master, I just came back from vacation!"

"Hahaha, Zhan Chen, you don't understand that place, that place is in need of elders for a long time, and if you go there, it is not considered a vacation, but a duty, and you can earn a lot of merit points. For example, in the first 20 years of alchemy for the sect, you have accumulated almost 5 million experience merit points, and when you get there, you can earn 10 million in just 10 years! And although it is full of dangers, it is also full of treasures and adventures, and every 20 years, our sect has to send a group of elders and elite disciples to garrison there. ”

"Teacher, stop playing dumb riddles, don't hang my appetite, tell me where it is!"

"That place is called Xichen, and it is the westernmost border of the Daning Kingdom where our Xuandao Sect is located. Further west is the three-regardless zone where several large countries meet each other, called the deep pool, and when you get there, I believe there will be no shortage of grinding. ”

"Teacher, what kind of place is that abyssal pond?"

"I can't say it, I can only describe it in one word, and that is 'chaos'. ”

"Chaos, what kind of chaos law?"

"You'll understand what it's like, haven't you been there? You're lucky, I'll count on my fingers, in a few months it will be the time limit for the rotation of the town guard elders, and you can take the initiative to sign up to go there." ”

"Then I'll thank you. ”

"Don't say thank you or not, I have long regarded you as my own person, the stronger you are, the happier I am! Okay, you can step back now, go back and prepare well. ”

Then the student quit. ”

Leaving the Purple Smoke Hall, Zhan Chen's mind was still filled with the information Chu Danqing had told him: "The western border, the deep pool, the chaotic land, what kind of place is there?"

"In short, the place recommended by the master should be good, and I will go to the Martial Arts Pavilion first to check the relevant information. Zhan Chen looked up at the sky and found that it was still early, so he walked towards the peak where the Martial Arts Pavilion was located.
