"I owe two silver crystals, isn't it a little more?" asked Shi Yan.

"You're just poor," Arus said.

"I didn't know it would be so expensive, you sell it on weekdays," Shi Yan said.

"Yes, I was scared at first, I didn't understand this, and when I went to sell medicine, I just put 'Xiao Huandan' and 'Juqi San' in front of them, and the scene got out of control, I couldn't leave at all, and every time I came back from eating with a bunch of old men," Arus said.

"Huh? I said, "Why don't you go hungry every time you come back," said Chai Jing.

"Later, I saw that the market was so good, so I went from pharmacy to pharmacy to compare prices, and we transferred a total of 10 silver crystals before," Arus said.

"So much?" Shi Yan was surprised.

"It was cheap at first, and now when I enter the town, I'm greeted by someone," Arus said.

"Oops," Zhu Jing said suddenly.

"What's wrong, Aunt Jing?" Shi Yan asked.

"We were in Guling Town before, and we got into trouble because of selling medicine, and then we killed the three masters of the Dark Moon mercenaries, so it was only a matter of time before we were exposed," Zhu Jing said.

"No, when I come back, it's all grasslands, and I'll know if there's anyone," Arus said.

"Not necessarily, Xiao Yan, you're almost recovered anyway, or let's hurry," Zhu Jing said.

"It's okay, let me refine some elixir and give it to the fire spirit rats, and then try to refine the 'Soul Birth Incense Bead', success is the best, if we don't succeed, we'll leave," Shi Yan said.

"Don't force yourself, Auntie's soul state is already very stable, as long as she is not attacked, she can maintain a balance with the true qi of heaven and earth," Zhu Jing said.

"Hmm," Shi Yan nodded.

Shi Yan looked at the medicinal materials for refining the Soul Incense Beads one by one, and after confirming that the materials were correct, he took a small section of each and calcined it in his hand. Every time Shi Yan was refining medicine, the fire spirit rats would quietly gather around and watch him, and Zhu Jing and Arus would sit behind. After Shi Yan recovered, when he summoned the 'Earth Emperor' for the first time, the earth fire almost got out of control, but fortunately, the fire spirit rats quickly controlled and sucked it. From then on, as long as Shi Yan refined medicine and summoned strange fire, the fire spirit rats would gather around him to help him control the fire.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother today? Why don't you practice? Isn't the medicinal herb completely wasted if it is burned like this? Arus asked.

"What does Xiao Yan seem to be testing? It's like he's groping for the properties of those medicinal herbs, and I guess he's wasting it in order to increase the success rate of the 'Shengxiang Pill'," Zhu Jing said.

"Aunt Jing, I heard you say that, didn't you teach it? How did he know? Arus asked.

"Xiao Yan has a very high understanding, a few days ago I saw him constantly playing with the 'Earth Emperor', I watched quietly on the side, I think it may be Hua Lao's words that inspired him, no matter what it is, it will be repeatedly tested and constantly honed in his hands, and now the Fire of the Earth Emperor has been almost explored by him" Zhu Jing said.

"In that case, it's time for me to figure out 'Rayton,'" Arus said.

"Hehe, it's good that you go with the flow," said Zhu Jing with a smile.

"Huh? It's rare for me to be so motivated," Arus said.

"It's begun," said Zhu Jing.

"Oh"

The time in the cave was boring, and the stone and rock refining was the only thing they could see. Of course, I have seen enough of the refining process of Xiao Huan Dan and Juqi San, and I will vomit when I look at the Jinchuang Pill and the Military Food Pill again, and now I finally want to refine a 4-grade pill, of course, I can't miss this great scene.

I saw Shi Yan put the sorted medicinal materials into the Dan furnace one by one, the earliest input was the broken animal bones, after the 'earth fire' refining, the powder of the animal bones gradually turned into a lens, with the help of different fires, greatly shortening the refining time of the medicinal materials. Then there is the refining of the meat fairy Ganoderma lucidum, Bodhi root, finally the lotus seed, then the Yingling grass and finally the snow lotus petal, and the whole extraction process took almost 3 hours.

"Isn't it difficult? Burn them one by one," Arus said.

"It's light to say, if it's a single cultivator, you have to use qi to help the fire, and you have to use the qi to reverse the medicinal materials, the pills above the 4th grade will definitely not work, fortunately, Shi Yan is a double cultivator, the fighting qi flips the true qi to help the fire, once the refining process is distracted, the medicinal materials may be wasted," Zhu Jing said.

"Oh~ Senior brother has a strange fire, it should be simple," Arus asked.

"Simple is simple, the advantage is that it saves time, but the firepower becomes fiercer, the speed of flipping the herbs must also be accelerated, and the spirit must be more concentrated," said Zhu Jing.

"Oh~ If there is no strange fire, how long will it take" Arus nodded.

"Ordinary flames are only enough to refine a beast bone in two days, and the rest is easy to say," Zhu Jing said.

~~~~~

Shi Yan entered the final stage of condensation, and the essence of various materials began to slowly fuse under Shi Yan's control. The combined Dou Qi and True Qi rotate in the Dan furnace and enter the final forming state. But for some reason, the fusion between the essence of the medicinal herbs was more laborious than Shi Yan expected.

"What's wrong?" Arus asked.

"It is not a simple matter to evenly fuse different essences together, and the most difficult step of high-quality elixir is the last step of fusion, and whether the fusion is uniform or not directly affects the efficacy of the elixir," Zhu Jing analyzed.

"4 pins of pills, these six or seven flavors of medicinal materials are so difficult to melt into a pill, and 9 pins are not more troublesome," Arus said.

"9 pins? I have only seen a little bit of the 9 products in the ancient scrolls, and the prescriptions I gave Shi Yan are only some 4-grade low-grade prescriptions, and when encountering intermediate and high-grade prescriptions, it may take more than 20 medicinal materials, more than 5 grades will require dozens of medicinal materials, and 7 grades are nearly 100 kinds of medicinal materials, and there are very few people on the mainland who can refine 7-grade pills, and there are only a few 7-grade high-grade pills in the past 100 years," Zhu Jing said.

"Sounds pretty intimidating," Arus said.

"Let's put it this way, you will have to spend a few silver crystals to buy these materials, and if it is 100 rare medicinal materials, it is cheap to spend dozens or even hundreds of gold crystals," Zhu Jing said.

"I'll rub it, a few hundred gold crystals are thousands of silver crystals, if this is wasted, it will be a good time," Arus said.

"Hmph~ The pharmacist and the foundry are the richest people, even the monarch has to call 'sir' very politely when he sees it, generally speaking, people at that level are not rare crystals at all, they usually let you exchange rare ores or exotic herbs" Zhu Jing said.

"It's none of my business," Arus said.

"Whew~" Just as Arus and Zhujing were chatting, a strange light suddenly flashed in the stove. After the two of them took a closer look, it turned out that the pill had been formed, and the light emitted became extremely dazzling under the radiation of the Dan furnace.

"What's wrong?" Arus asked.

"It seems that the essence of the medicinal herbs is almost pure, not only does it have Dan Qi," Zhu Jing said.

"Dan Qi? Isn't it Danxiang? Arus wondered.

"No, Danxiang is sometimes a medicinal herb with a certain raw fragrance in the medicinal herbs, which has been refined and purified. Dan Qi is different, if there is no raw incense herb in the medicinal materials, it is the breath that the object has after it is formed, just like the fighting qi and true qi of a cultivator, but the Dan Qi is generally very weak, and with the Dan Qi, it means that this Dan is the top grade in the same level" Zhu Jing said.

"Will there be Dan Lei? Are we bomb-resistant? Arus asked.

"You can rest assured about this, there is a chance of thunder with more than 5 grades of pills, this pill with pill qi can echo the true qi of heaven and earth in a slight, it couldn't be better for me" Zhu Jing smiled.

"Take~" Shi Yan said, only to see him extinguish the flame in the pill furnace, and make a move at the mouth of the medicine, and sure enough, a round pill flew out.

"I'll go, so many medicinal herbs have produced such a little bit of elixir," Arus said, looking at a marble-sized elixir.

"That's right, the size of the pill is no longer large, it depends on the efficacy of the medicine, with this 'soul incense bead', it can be used for at least 3 months" Zhu Jing said with a smile.

"Huh?" Shi Yan and Arus were surprised.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jing asked.

"It's only been three months?" Arus said.

"What do you think, this elixir will slowly evaporate, I am saving it, otherwise it will be gone in two months" Zhu Jing said.

"I see, Aunt Jing, don't worry, the time is up, I'm refining for you" Shi Yan said.

"Okay, okay, it's already very good, look at you, your face is white, take a good rest" Zhu Jing said.

"I didn't expect that this pill would have consumed almost all of my fighting qi and true qi, if it weren't for the help of different fires, I would definitely not be able to take shape," Shi Yan said.

"In the future, if you refine the medicine, prepare a few bottles of Qi Gathering and Dispersion first," Zhu Jing said.

"Well, I know Aunt Jing," Shi Yan said.

~~~~~

Re-emerging from the Chifeng grassland, a slight blow blows, Shi Yan squinted his eyes and looked at everything around him, 1 year, a whole year, it can be regarded as coming out of the hole. Blue sky and white clouds, this endless grassland, after the breeze, the grass surface set off green waves.

"Drunk?" Arus asked, looking at Shi Yan.

"It's so comfortable, it's all by the fire this year, or the sun is comfortable," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Nonsense, we're a Sunshine Mercenary Corps, we must be good in the sun," Arus laughed.

"Huh? Sunshine Mercenary Corps? Oh, if you don't say it, I'll forget," Shi Yan said.

"No, if you forget, my arm will be burned for nothing," Arus said.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't forget it," Shi Yan said with a smile.

The Pucci behind him said goodbye to the fire spirit rats one by one, you must know that the fire spirit rats only come out of the hole at night, and it is the first time that such a large scale comes out during the day.

"Puff~" Pucci shouted.

"Squeak, squeak~" The fire spirit rats shouted together.

"You are my friends with Shi Yan, please believe me, one day I will come back to see you" Shi Yan smiled.

"Squeak squeak~" The fire spirit rats cried one after another.

"Go back, it's not safe during the day," Shi Yan said.

The fire spirit rats nodded, and walked reluctantly to the cave one by one, from time to time the fire spirit rats stopped, and after taking a look at Shi Yan, all the fire spirit rats returned to the cave, Shi Yan and Arus officially set off.

"Puff~" Pucci jumped onto Shi Yan's shoulder, here, there are no outsiders, Pucci doesn't need to hide, he can run on the grassland unscrupulously.

"Aunt Jing, where are we going now?" Shi Yan asked.

"There is no town in this grassland, only a big city of Chifeng in the middle of the grassland, but it will take more than ten days to get away from it at the earliest," said Zhu Jing.

"Don't worry, brother, I bought a simple tent, even at night, we don't have to worry," Arus said.

"I always feel like there's something I haven't done," Shi Yan said.

"Uh~ yes, I still owe Guling Town Pharmacy 2 silver crystals," Arus said.

"Huh?" Shi Yan was stunned.

"Forget Xiaoyan, just two silver crystals, although it is not glorious, but it is not safe to go back there at this time, and it will be double in the future," Zhu Jing said.

"Okay," Shi Yan nodded and smiled.

~~~~~

The sky was getting dark, Shi Yan felt that there was no need to dare too much on the grassland, so he and Arus set up a tent, not to mention, this tent is not big, but the role is not small, not long after the tent was erected, it has rained on the grassland.

"I'll go, it's better to listen to you, or I'll be a soup chicken tonight," Arus laughed.

"Anyway, the rain in this grassland is really urgent, it's okay just now," Shi Yan said as he looked at the cloudy sky through the tent.

"The rain in the prairie will come and go quickly, and the wind will soon blow the dark clouds away," said Zhu Jing.

Sure enough, an hour later, the sky lit up, and Shi Yan watched as the dark clouds slowly moved away and ran in other directions, the wet grassland, watered by the heavy rain, released a fragrance of earth and grass.

"It's so comfortable," Shi Yan sighed.

Shi Yan walked out of the tent, closed his eyes, stood under the sky, stretched out his arms and took a deep breath of the cool air, so that Arus didn't think so, he ran errands on weekdays, unlike Shi Yan who came out a year later.

"Senior brother, do I want to ask you something?" Arus said.

"What's the matter?" Shi Yan said.

"You say, we've come so far, will there be a fire spirit mouse to see us off?" Arus asked.

"Why do you say that?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"That~" Arus pointed not far away, only to see that there were two blue flames burning not far away, and they seemed to be coming this way.

"No, it's been a year since the fire spirit rat got along, and I haven't seen a blue fire," Shi Yan said,

"Then tell me, in this prairie, what else will glow besides the fire spirit rat?" Arus asked, looking at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan could see that Arus seemed to have thought of something, and he looked quite scared, Shi Yan just shook his head and looked back at Pucci, only to see Pucci tiptoe and look at the blue fire in the distance, and then hid in Shi Yan's ring.

"Xiao Yan, that thing has a very heavy yin qi, it's so late, it's either an open flame or a yin fire," said Zhu Jing in the ring.

"I'll rub~" Arus stomped his foot, turned around and ran to the tent, pulled up all the tents in three times and divided them by two, folded them in a panic, and stuffed them into the ring.

"What?" Shi Yan asked.

"Nonsense, run, are you waiting for it to eat?" said Arus.

"You're also a 7th rank fighter, I'm afraid he won't succeed?" Shi Yan asked.

"I'm telling you, strength and fear are two different things, you know, even if I'm a Venerable, I'm afraid of these things," Arus said.

"Hehehehehe" Shi Yan suddenly laughed.

"You don't have to laugh, I don't eat you, come less, you have to go and see it, I can tell you, I'm scared, don't go," Arus said.

"Hehe," Shi Yan said, slowly walking towards the two blue flames.

"You, don't, you can't do this to me, junior brother is cowardly, I'll go to you, you ~~~~~, you wait for me for a while" Arus said after him quickly.

"The teacher told us to walk more, see more, experience more, the opportunity comes, what to run" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"I know, you big-headed ghost~" Arus said.

Shi Yan ignored him, just walked towards the blue flame by himself, and when it was less than a hundred meters, Shi Yan stopped, and the strange thing was that the two blue flames also stopped, and the two sides kept this distance~~~

"Senior brother, I want to pee~~" Arus whispered in a trembling voice.
