Chapter Eighty-Four: Breakthrough
Looking at the empty counter in front of him, Yan Xiaoyi, who was a little indifferent, became serious, after getting along all these years, he knew the person of the shopkeeper Meng too well, if this lord didn't have anything particularly important, he would rather stay here and get moldy than take a step out of this door.
Now that Shopkeeper Meng only gave a brief explanation, he couldn't wait to leave, and asked to release a non-level task that may not be seen for decades, and the reward of the task is so high, which proves how much he values this matter.
Yan Xiaoyi didn't dare to slack off, reached under the counter and groped for a while, took out a purple-gold token, and disappeared into the lobby in a flash.
Soon, the three major areas of the Gutai City Alliance General Hall, the outskirts, the official, and the core released a non-level task at the same time, because the task reward was so rich, it caused an uproar in the alliance, and countless members of the alliance in the city instantly went crazy about it.
Even the four sects in the city were also alarmed, Gutai City, which was quite quiet in the middle of the night, suddenly became lively, and from time to time there was a hurried figure flashing around the city, and this night I don't know how many people had red eyes and ran around all night sleeplessly.
And the initiator of this incident was hiding in the bed and sleeping without knowing it with a look of satisfaction at this time.
Gradually, the dark sky in the east glowed with a gray light blue, and soon the blue brightened and turned red, and with a dazzling red glow, a new day began.
Accompanied by the crisp birdsong in the courtyard outside the house, Mu Yang, who had been recuperated after a good night's sleep, opened his eyes, lay on the bed and felt it slightly, he really found that after the crazy alchemy like yesterday, his control of his own vitality and soul power had improved significantly.
Turning over and getting out of bed, he casually freshened up, and after finding some food to fill his stomach from the dry food bag left for him from the small container, he took out the pile of spiritual materials and sat in front of him.
Looking at the pile of spiritual materials in front of him, Mu Yang took a deep breath of satisfaction, he decided to temporarily give up cultivation before refining all the spiritual materials in the past few days, just taking advantage of this opportunity to improve the alchemy at the same time, by the way, to stabilize the cultivation that was a little vain after the realm was improved.
And Zhao Yuanbai, who lived in the room next to his left, was sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating, and it seemed that he had not stopped since yesterday.
At this time, Zhao Yuanbai's face was sometimes solemn and sometimes joyful, and his body kept flashing with five faint lights of gold, green, blue, red, and yellow, and the five colors were alternating with each other, or emerging at the same time, or fainting at the same time, feeling that he was at a critical juncture.
As for the room next door to Muyang's right, there is a half-human-high furnace in the middle of the room, which looks like Muyang's Dan furnace has been magnified several times, and the bottom of the furnace is burning violently, making the temperature of the whole room very high.
At this time, Mo Xiaoqi took off only a pair of shorts to cover his shame, sweating profusely, he was barely holding his mouth, and he was wielding a very peculiar sledgehammer, tinkling and knocking.
After a burst of knocking, he put the beaten item into the furnace, and at the same time used his soul power to investigate the situation in the furnace, and then continued to take out a piece of ore from the bracer and beat it.
However, although the temperature in the room was extremely high, Mo Xiaoqi seemed to use some kind of formation to isolate it, so that the heat did not dissipate to the outside of the house, and even if he stood outside the house, he could not feel the heat inside at all.
In this way, the three of them went into retreat and did their own things wholeheartedly.
Inside the city of Gutai.
After just one night of traveling, it is absolutely impossible to find out that Muyang is the person who alchemists.
However, everyone has more or less their own channels for finding out the news, and with the efforts of so many people, at least everyone knows the whole reason and process of the Guwu Alliance's release of the non-level mission.
In particular, the four sects in the city, especially the Baicao Sect, which was famous for its alchemy, were suddenly shocked when they learned that the Mortal Hui Yuan Pill actually had the effect of restoring soul power.
The high-level leaders of each sect are eager to know who refined this pill and how it was refined, after all, the pill that can restore soul power must at least be a treasure pill, and the treasure pill is not something that anyone can afford to use casually.
Although the ancient martial artist mainly relies on the vitality in the battle, the role of soul power is also very large, for example, when using ancient martial arts, if you don't rely on soul power, you can't exert the full power of the move at all, and if you don't rely on soul power to lock the direction, I don't know where this move will go.
Especially when the soul power is consumed to the critical line, it can no longer be used, otherwise it will fall into a coma and be slaughtered by others, and then you can only rely purely on the vitality to fight.
It can be seen from this that the two ancient martial artists with the same realm of Yuan Qi cultivation must be the one with high soul power who has a great advantage.
Normally, even if they have a treasure pill that can restore soul power, the ancient warriors will only use it at a critical moment, but now that there is a mortal pill with a lower value and can restore soul power, the four sects are naturally extremely coveted for the refining method of this pill.
It's a pity that the two pills sold by the young man are already in the hands of the Gu Wu League, and it is definitely impossible to let them be taken out for the people of the four sects to refer to and test.
Therefore, everyone wondered if the young man who sold the pill still had the pill on his body, no matter whether it was possible or not, as long as he could get a pill on him, even if the probability was small, then at least there was a chance that he could use the pill to reverse the pill.
However, they could never have imagined that refining this Dan actually had nothing to do with the Dan Fang at all.
The young man thus became the center of the whole vortex, and everyone showed their powers, or climbed into friendship, or coercion and inducement, and all kinds of means emerged one after another.
Fortunately, there were already rules in the city that no ancient warrior was allowed to kill anyone in the city, and the young man was also extremely smart to stay in the main hall all the time, not leaving even half a step, and no one could secretly attack in front of everyone.
In the end, the young man was overwhelmed, but he had already expected this situation, so he made a blood oath in public, saying that he did still have two pills, but so many people wanted them, but he was just a nobody, and no one dared to offend, so he decided to publicly auction these two pills at the end of the month, and the one with the highest price would get them.
At this point, Gutai City, which had been in turmoil for two days, finally calmed down temporarily.
His eyes turned back to the small courtyard where Muyang was.
On the morning of the fourth day of the retreat, Mu Yang had finally exhausted all the spiritual materials used to refine the mortal-grade three-grade elixir, and at this time, there was a pile of jade bottles containing various pills in front of him.
Most of them are Huiyuan Dan, and the rest are various commonly used pills such as poison avoidance pills, blood return pills, and so on.
After eating something and resting a little to restore himself to his best condition, Mu Yang set his eyes on the two desolate yuan, and he was ready to start refining the four-grade Fan Dan.
Compared with the three-grade Vandan, the refining techniques of the fourth-grade Vandan are actually the same, which is a process of melting, refining, fusion, and becoming a pill, and the only difference is the addition of Wasteland.
The desolate element is formed by the condensation of the essence in the body of the desolate beast, and as the main material, it is already extremely condensed, so the process of refining can be directly omitted, and naturally there is no need to melt it.
The difficulty of its refining lies in how to effectively control the spiritual energy in the Wasteland Yuan during the refining process, as well as the steps of fusion and Dan formation.
Because each Desolate Element already has a high spiritual energy content, several times that of ordinary spiritual materials of the same type, each Desolate Element can generally refine three or more groups of elixirs.
However, the surface of the Wild Yuan has a layer of natural hard shell, and it is precisely because of this hard shell that the aura in the Wild Yuan will not escape, so as to facilitate preservation.
Once the hard shell is broken, the aura inside it will begin to dissipate, and it will all be lost in a short period of time, so if the alchemist wants to make full use of this desolate element, he must use his soul power to firmly wrap it, and he must also have the ability to distract his mind to refine two or three groups of pills at the same time, or even more than three groups.
Of course, the alchemist can also choose to refine only one pill alone, but in this way, the value of the desolate yuan will be greatly reduced, so starting from the fourth-grade alchemist, the difference between the advantages and disadvantages between them is actually quite large.
Another difficulty lies in the fact that because there is a trace of the spirit power of the wild beast hidden in the barren element, when it is fused with other spiritual essences and in the process of becoming a pill, this trace of spirit power may come out at some point.
If the alchemist is unable to use his soul power to suppress and erase the spirit of the desolate beast in time when it comes out, then the spiritual materials in the Dan furnace will be infected and destroyed by the spirit of the desolate beast, which means that this furnace of elixir has been wasted.
Especially when using soul power to erase the soul of the desolate beast, you must be careful not to hurt the spirit material itself, otherwise the quality of the pill will deteriorate, and the worst will be a furnace of waste pill.
Therefore, a top-notch four-grade alchemist can refine three or even four groups of pills with one desolate yuan at a time, and each composition pill is more than five, and at least twenty pills can be refined at one time.
And the alchemist with poor ability is only one group at most, although the success rate of the pill is also about five, but the success rate of refining is enough, and sometimes the two wasted yuan may not be able to refine successfully.
After carefully reviewing the refining method, Mu Yang decided to try to refine the two sets of pills once, and he began to refine all the auxiliary materials of the two groups of pills first.
Calm Qi Condensed Soul Power to wrap the Wild Yuan, and when Mu Yang condensed the Yuan Qi in his hand and split the Wild in two from the outside to the inside, something happened that surprised him extremely much.
After this condensed Jiuyang Yuan cut through the Wild Yuan, it automatically attached to its internal surface, as if forming an invisible protective film, so that the spiritual energy inside it was wrapped without soul power, and there was no trace of spiritual energy escaping.
Finding that his Jiuyang Yuan Qi had such a wonderful effect, the ecstatic Muyang couldn't help but laugh, which undoubtedly allowed him to save a lot of soul power in refining.
So he immediately decided to increase the number of refining this time by two groups, becoming refining four groups of pills at a time.
Quickly refining two sets of auxiliary materials, Mu Yang used Jiuyang Yuan Qi to cut the Wasted Yuan again, and put it into the Dan furnace with other auxiliary materials.
As if facing a great enemy, the soul power was firmly wrapped in the Dan furnace without reservation, and all of Muyang's mind was placed on it, and his hands were attached to the wall of the Dan furnace, and the condensed Jiuyang vitality poured out.
During the whole process, all the spiritual materials continued to roll and touch, and gradually began to merge with each other.
Fiercely, a sound like the struggle and roar of a desolate beast sounded in the Dan furnace, and it was the spirit of the desolate beast that came out to make trouble.
Mu Yang's face, which had been prepared for a long time, did not change color, and quickly divided part of the soul power to meet the attack, and with an overwhelming advantage, he instantly suppressed the spirit of this desolate beast, and then carefully wrapped it with soul power, and slowly withdrew it from the spiritual material.
After completely extracting this trace of spirit, Mu Yang's eyes opened and his soul power quickly closed, and the roar disappeared in an instant, and this trace of spirit was erased.
At the same time, the spiritual materials in the Dan furnace were completely fused together, Mu Yang shouted, and the two forces of the Yuan Soul burst out and contracted at the same time, and there was a crisp sound in the Dan furnace, followed by a fragrant fragrance.
Dan is done!
Just as Mu Yang was about to uncover the lid of the Dan furnace with joy, an irresistible wave of heaven and earth suddenly descended on their small courtyard, scaring him all of a sudden.
After Mu Yang, who was extremely surprised, came back to his senses, he found that the center of the fluctuations of this heaven and earth was in Zhao Yuanbai's room next to him.
