Since the age of sixteen, he went down the mountain to learn alchemy, and it has been two hundred and seventy-eight years now.

After nearly three hundred years of hard work, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy has been quite extraordinary.

The inheritance of his alchemy mainly comes from the three sects of Qingxuan, Xuansu, and Tianyuan, and in recent years, it has reached the realm of integration and self-containedness.

After breaking through to the fifth-order mid-grade alchemist, the time had accumulated for sixty years.

After sixty years of solid foundation and hard work, his alchemy has far surpassed his predecessors, whether it is Qingxuan or Huanshui, or even Xuansuzong, no one can compare with him.

The fifth-order spirit pills he had refined by hand had already reached hundreds of furnaces, and he was more experienced than the alchemists of the ordinary Yuanying Sect.

Refining a hundred furnaces fifth-order elixir doesn't look like much.

When Zhang Zhixuan was studying as an alchemist, he could often refine more than 100 furnaces of Golden Bud Pill at one time, accumulating rich experience.

However, the fifth-order spirit pill is extremely precious, refining a furnace consumes at least tens of thousands of spirit stones, and even the Danyang Zongmo Old Ancestor, a sixth-order alchemist, can't often open the furnace to refine the high-level spirit pill.

Hundreds of fifth-order elixirs add up, and the value of the elixir is at least a few million. This price is not at all something that ordinary alchemists can bear.

Therefore, the higher the level of the alchemist, the narrower the path to upward development, and the more difficult the path of cultivation becomes.

It is precisely because of his rich experience that Zhang Zhixuan has the confidence to refine the purple ginseng pill.

After all, the Purple Ginseng Pill was a fifth-order high-grade spirit pill that assisted the late-stage Jindan cultivators to break through, and the difficulty of refining it was far beyond the ordinary.

Even with the situation of the Heavenly Source Sect at its peak, every time the Purple Ginseng Pill was refined, it would take one hundred and twenty years.

Although there are many fifth-order pills in Qingxuanzong's collection, there are only two fifth-order high-grade pills.

Dan recipes above the fifth order are extremely rare on the market, and except for dilapidated family sects, they are rarely spread to the outside world.

If he can't refine the Purple Ginseng Pill this time, Zhang Zhixuan will have to wait three hundred years if he wants to break through the fifth-order high-grade alchemist. After three hundred years, the Qianyun flower can mature, and there are conditions to refine the Jianggong Dan. Otherwise, you can only go down the mountain in advance to find an opportunity, see if you can find a new pill recipe and refine a new elixir.

The Lingjing Mountain Underground Cave Mansion had already opened up the fire eye, and the Fire Stork Furnace used by Zhang Zhixuan was also a fifth-order mid-grade Dan furnace, which was enough for him to refine the Purple Ginseng Pill.

The foreign objects were ready, Zhang Zhixuan did not hesitate at all, and immediately decided to open the furnace for alchemy.

He stared at the fire stork furnace with blazing eyes, and his hands continued to punch out one spirit trick after another, and his divine sense also carefully infiltrated the pill liquid.

In the midst of the raging fire, the Fire Stork Furnace rotated faster and faster in the air, and a mass of Dan liquid swirled rapidly in the Ding Furnace.

Even if Zhang Zhixuan tried his best to control it with his divine sense, he could only condense two spirit pills.

Zhang Zhixuan carefully controlled the heat, and there was no panic in his heart.

Even though he was refining the fifth-order elixir for the first time, his movements were still orderly, and his self-confidence was extraordinary.

Seeing that the medicinal fragrance slowly emanated from the fire stork furnace, Zhang Zhixuan didn't care about anything else, and as soon as he turned his palm, a white chalcedony bottle appeared in his hand.

Zhang Zhixuan spewed out a mouthful of Dan fire, the fire stork furnace shook slightly, and the furnace lid flew up violently.

A rich aura erupted from the mouth of the furnace with a wave of fire, and two spiritual lights fell into the chalcedony bottle one after the other.

Although refining the Purple Ginseng Pill for the first time, Zhang Zhixuan's success rate still reached 20%, and he smoothly refined it into a spirit pill.

The elixir of this level is very rare on the market, and it is already a treasure with no price.

Even in places like Huoshan City in the Great Zhou, it may take hundreds of years for a chance to appear.

Fifth-order top-grade spirit pills, even if you use high-grade spirit stones, it is difficult to exchange them.

As for the valuation of the elixir, it is also difficult to estimate, in order to refine these two elixirs, Zhang Zhixuan only spent 200,000 spirit stones on medicinal materials.

It also took five Purple Mansion and sixteen Foundation Building Monks three years to collect the elixir.

Even if someone took out twenty top-grade spirit stones, Zhang Zhixuan would not exchange a purple ginseng pill with him.

The medicinal power of the purple ginseng pill is extremely violent, and when you break through, you can only take one pill, and if you want to take it a second time, you have to wait for thirty years.

After taking six purple ginseng pills, there will be serious resistance, and the effect of this elixir will be less than half.

The most critical point is that the purple ginseng pill can only be stored for twelve years, because the preservation period is too short, and the remaining purple ginseng pill cannot be left for cold smoke.

Qing Chan and Liu Guyan cultivated to the apex of the Jindan period, and they didn't need the purple ginseng pill at all.

The only people who can use this thing are Zhang Zhixuan and Jin Laozu.

Jin Lao Zu is already seven hundred and eighty years old, and there are only twenty or thirty years left before the Jindan limit, even if he can use this thing to break through to the ninth layer of Jindan, there is no chance of getting married.

Unless he is extremely lucky, the sect can find a high-level life-prolonging thing, and prolong his life for a single jiazi, so that it is possible to cultivate to the edge of marrying a baby.

After refining the Purple Ginseng Pill, Zhang Zhixuan solicited the opinion of Jin Laozu.

Although the avenue was difficult, Jin Lao Zu was still unwilling to give up the insignificant opportunity, and exchanged for the Purple Ginseng Pill in good spirits.

After refining the Purple Ginseng Pill, Zhang Zhixuan immediately chose to retreat and entrusted the power of the sect to Qingchan.

After taking the purple ginseng pill, Zhang Zhixuan raced against time to refine the elixir medicinal power, and the dantian was like a surging wave, and the abundant mana filled the three dantian in an instant.

Driven by the dantian, streams of mana penetrated out and rushed to the acupuncture points in all directions.

Streams of spiritual energy began to pour into the cave, and the spiritual energy on the mountain was even a little exhausted.

The well-informed Purple Mansion and Zhuji monks immediately noticed the abnormality and immediately stopped cultivating and gave their aura to the ancestor of the sect to break through the realm.

In order to ensure Zhang Zhixuan's smooth breakthrough, Qingchan also ordered the closure of one hundred and thirteen spiritual springs, so that the spiritual energy of Lingjing Mountain was completely restrained.

Some of the news was blocked, and the low-level monks who used the spiritual spring retreat were unlucky, and they lost their abundant spiritual energy, not only could not break through, but also injured the dantian, and needed to recuperate for a period of time.

The most serious seven or eight unlucky eggs also reversed their true qi, and the dantian was shattered and the path was cut off.

If a monk is unlucky, his path will be ruined, and his soul will be destroyed. The Yuanying monk of the Tianyuan Sect caught up with the battle of the ancient monks, and all the people of the sect were caught in the urn and their souls were destroyed.

Qingchan presided over the overall situation of the sect outside, and only Hanyan was the protector of Zhang Zhixuan.

Seeing that the strength of the aura was slightly insufficient, the cold smoke immediately dissolved nine high-grade spirit stones, and a stream of pure aura instantly filled Zhang Zhixuan's eyes.

Zhang Zhixuan took a big mouth, as if a long whale was sucking water, and inhaled a stream of spiritual energy into the Jianggong Qi Mansion, with this pure spiritual energy supplement, Zhang Zhixuan broke through the bottleneck in one go, and cultivated to the eighth-layer realm of Jindan.

Since he broke through the seventh layer of Jindan, after sixteen years of hard cultivation, with the help of the Purple Ginseng Pill, he has only broken through the first level.

Cultivating to this point, Zhang Zhixuan is not too far away from the Yuan Infant Stage.

Soon after Zhang Zhixuan's breakthrough, Jin Laozu also successfully got out of the customs, and with the help of the medicinal power of the Purple Ginseng Pill, Jin Laozu finally cultivated to the ninth layer of the Jindan realm when his longevity was about to end.
