Chapter Ninety-Three: Retreat and Cultivation
After Li Chengqian understood the use of Zhang Shuo's furnace ding, he decided to open the furnace for alchemy. He identified the effects of several medicinal materials in the medicine field according to the records in the bamboo slips, then took some of them, smashed them and stirred them, poured them into the furnace together with the spiritual spring water, and then supplemented them with other ingredients to make a fire for alchemy.
This refining lasted for nine days, and when the furnace was opened, the aroma of this cave was overflowing, which was even more fragrant than when Li Chengqian was refining the Blood Spirit Pill before.
Wang Yuan and the mother and son of the deer king gathered around the furnace, watching Li Chengqian take out all the things in the furnace, and couldn't help but drool.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "This time I put in more medicinal materials, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of the Blood Spirit Pill, and the effect is even better." I just don't know how many blood spirit pills will be refined this time. ”
Wang Yuan wiped his saliva, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Master Li, let me help you count." ”
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, Wang Yuan immediately rummaged in the slag, and after a while, he said happily: "Master Li, it's thirty-six!" ”
This time, Li Chengqian used professional alchemy equipment, so the success rate was very high, and Li Chengqian was very satisfied with this result.
In fact, with Li Chengqian's current cultivation, the effect of the Blood Spirit Pill was already very small. Even if this furnace blood elixir was an enhanced version, Li Chengqian would have to eat fifty pills in order to improve his cultivation by a small margin.
Now the most useful thing for Li Chengqian is the Purple Spirit Pill that is one level higher than the Blood Spirit Pill, but the raw material of the Purple Spirit Pill is the Demon Pill, and Li Chengqian only got one from the Ghost Face Moth, which is very precious. If the alchemy fails, then it will be difficult to find the demon pill in the future.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the Purple Spirit Pill could be successfully refined, Li Chengqian decided to refine the Blood Spirit Pill first, and then refine the Purple Spirit Pill after he was thoroughly familiar with the use of Wang Shuo's furnace tripod.
After refining this furnace of blood spirit pills, Li Chengqian's confidence has greatly increased, and he is now confident that he has successfully refined the purple spirit pill.
After the success of alchemy, Li Chengqian began to "reward meritorious deeds".
The first is the mother and son of the deer king, this place was brought by the deer king Li Chengqian, so the deer king's credit is the greatest, and Li Chengqian took out ten and gave it to the deer king's mother and son.
The deer king was very happy, she hadn't eaten the pill for a long time, the last time Li Chengqian gave her one, it made her break through the realm that had been stagnant for decades before, this time she gave her ten pills in one go, and her cultivation will be greatly improved again.
However, the deer king did not swallow all the blood elixir alone but gave half of it to the deer, and she hoped that her child could become an immortal like her.
Li Chengqian looked at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan looked nervous, he didn't dare to expect Li Chengqian to give him the Blood Spirit Pill, as long as he could give him the waste pill in the slag, he would be satisfied.
"Wang Yuan, how long have you been with me?" Li Chengqian asked lightly.
"Probably, it's been almost a year." Wang Yuan replied respectfully, "I was a bastard before, I did absolutely bad things, and I even insulted Master Li!" I regret it now! He knelt on the ground, knocked down his head, and said, "Fortunately, Master Li ignored his past suspicions and guided me out of the way, Wang Yuan is grateful!" I am willing to follow Master Li for the rest of my life and be a cow and a horse! ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "It seems that you are truly repentant, take it." With that, he put a blood spirit pill in Wang Yuan's hand, and Wang Yuan's whole person was stunned, and his hand holding the blood spirit pill was trembling!
Before Wang Yuan ate some broken waste pills, his body was greatly strengthened! You don't have to breathe for a long run, you don't get tired of standing for a long time, you can break a small tree with one punch, and you can fly up a three-story building with one jump!
Moreover, he also vaguely felt the presence of aura. Li Chengqian once told him that aura is the foundation of cultivating immortals, and discovering aura is discovering the threshold of cultivating immortals, and then as long as you practice the exercises carefully, you can step into the door of cultivating immortals and become a real immortal cultivator.
Wang Yuan was looking forward to this.
Only now can he see clearly, what money, what power, what beauty, all are floating clouds! Only immortality and immortal cultivation are the true pursuits of life!
Now, although Li Chengqian only gave Wang Yuan a blood elixir, Wang Yuan was still excited. This is not only because his strength will be greatly improved, and he may even enter the threshold of cultivating immortals, but also because Li Chengqian recognizes him!
"Master Li's impression of me has changed, maybe he will accept me as an apprentice in the future and teach me the exercises of cultivating immortals!" Wang Yuan's heart is hot, and he now dreams of worshipping Li Chengqian as a teacher.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuan kowtowed three times vigorously, grateful to Li Chengqian for his gift.
After the distribution was over, Li Chengqian put the remaining blood elixir into the medicine bottle, and he planned to distribute them to Qiao Xuemeng, Medicine Girl, Su Rui and others. These women are the embodiment of Shizun, and Li Chengqian hopes that they can have a trace of self-preservation.
In the future, even if he extracts the soul of the master from the bodies of these women and has nothing to do with him, he hopes that the lives of these women can be better and more meaningful.
Li Chengqian rested for a few days, he calculated an auspicious day of the zodiac, and then bathed and prayed, preparing to refine the Purple Spirit Pill.
The raw material of the purple spirit pill is the demon pill, the demon pill contains the essence of the demon beast, refining the demon pill is equivalent to completely killing the demon beast, which is against the way of heaven as killing life, so it must be treated solemnly.
This time the alchemy lasted for an extremely long time, as long as ninety-nine eighty-one days! But for Li Chengqian, this is still short, he once refined the Yuan Infant Pill, which was refined from the Yuan Infant of the Yuan Infant Great Cultivator, and the time was as long as several decades! But the effect is also more amazing.
When the furnace was opened, there was a trace of purple gas suspended above the stove, but there was no fragrance. Li Chengqian took out the purple elixir from the furnace ding, and Wang Yuan could feel the thick aura from a long distance, and the pores all over his body opened involuntarily, greedily absorbing these spiritual qi.
Li Chengqian's face was overjoyed, and he said: "Finally, the refining has been successful, and after serving it, I can break through the first layer of foundation building and enter the second layer of foundation building." ”
"Congratulations to Master Li for successfully refining the Purple Spirit Pill!" Wang Yuan was also sincerely happy for Li Chengqian.
"As long as I enter the second-layer realm of foundation building, it will be easier to crack the heart-locking spell on Chan'er's body." Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, and decided to temporarily give up relieving the spell for Chan'er, take the Purple Spirit Pill to cultivate wholeheartedly, and break through as soon as possible, so he began to practice in retreat.
This retreat lasted for a long time, and when Li Chengqian broke through the first layer of foundation building and woke up from meditation, it was already three months later.
At this time, Li Chengqian's temperament has changed dramatically again, not only has his appearance become more delicate, but also invisibly exudes a convincing charm.
"Master Li, you're finally out of the customs!" Seeing Li Chengqian out of the customs, Wang Yuan immediately dropped his work and ran to greet him.
After three months of not seeing him, Wang Yuan's hair and beard became very long, as if he was an ancient person. In fact, he prepared a razor, but he thought that it was better to have a beard and grow his hair more than the temperament of an immortal cultivator, so he simply stopped shaving.
Li Chengqian's current appearance is not much better, Wang Yuan prepared hot water for Li Chengqian and helped him bathe and get a haircut.
Li Chengqian didn't see the deer king and the deer, so he opened his mouth to ask, Wang Yuan said respectfully: "The deer king's mother and son went out, and before we knew it, we stayed here for six months, and now it's summer outside, and the flowers and plants are blooming everywhere, and they go out to play." ”
"Out? Are there other exits here? Li Chengqian was a little surprised, he clearly remembered that in order to ensure safety, he reinstated the ban, and no one could enter or leave the cave, how did the mother and son of the deer king get out?
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It's Xiaolu, this little guy has discovered a very secret passage, and we will enter and exit this cave through that secret passage." ”
Li Chengqian was speechless for a while, he knew this, why did he bother to break the ban of the cave mansion in the first place?
"How's Chan'er?" After not seeing him for several months, Li Chengqian was more concerned about Chan'er's situation.
Wang Yuan said: "I follow your instructions and let her wake up for a few hours every day to move freely, so as not to atrophy the muscles of her hands and feet." The rest of the time she fell asleep. He sighed and said, "This child is very obedient and never cries, but he is so pitiful, like a sleeping beauty." ”
Li Chengqian nodded silently and said, "Such days are coming to an end soon, I have already untied her seven heart-locking mantras before the retreat, and there are still eight left." Now that I have reached the second level of foundation building, the time to solve the spell will be shorter. He stood up, "Let's go, I'll go and undo Chan'er's spell now." ”
Wang Yuan scratched his head and said with some confusion: "Master Li, there is actually one more thing I want to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian stopped and turned around and asked.
Wang Yuan said hesitantly: "Your wife, Qiao Xuemeng...... I'm getting married! ”
