"After the fusion of all the elixir essences is completed, the last step of alchemy is to solidify into a pill. In this process, the alchemist's Dan Fire and soul power need to cooperate with each other, bake and solidify the fusion of the elixir essence with the Dan fire, wrap the medicine group with the soul power to prevent the medicine group from scattering, and it is also necessary to strictly control the baking heat to prevent the elixir essence from being refined. If the pill is not solidified in place, it will be released, and it is very likely that the pill will be scattered or wasted; if the pill is too fixed, it will lead to a sharp decline in the quality of the pill, or even the pill will directly turn into nothingness. ”

"The last time to come out of the pill is the moment when the danxiang of the pill reaches its strongest, and when is the time when the danxiang is the most intense, it is up to the alchemist to explore it with his own experience. ”

In the process of the spirit of the Yuan Furnace slowly explaining, the fusion elixir essence in the ding body has also become smaller and smaller, slowly turning into a solid existence, and at the same time, bursts of rich danxiang are also slowly coming out of the ding body, making Ming Xuan can't help but swallow his saliva with hunger.

As the pill in the Ding became smaller and smaller, and the incense became more and more intense, Ming Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, and he couldn't wait to rush up and swallow the pill.

"Dancheng!"

Just when Ming Xuan was about to take it anymore, the tightly closed eyes of the Spirit of the Yuan Furnace suddenly opened, and a loud cry came out of his mouth.

The next moment, the magic trick in the hand of the spirit of the Yuan Furnace suddenly changed, and he sucked at the dragon's eye-sized pill in the ding, and took it into his hand. The Dan Furnace condensed by the golden flames in the void also dissipated with the departure of the elixir.

"Look!" the spirit of the Yuan Furnace smiled, and threw the pill in his hand to Ming Xuan very casually.

Seeing this, Ming Xuan's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly grabbed it in his hand, for fear that he would break the four pins of pills. Although he didn't have an exact idea of how precious the four-grade pill was, he knew that the four-grade pill must be priceless, which could be seen from the fact that two fourth-grade low-grade pills could be exchanged for so many elixir herbs from Zhenbao Shop.

Ming Xuan carefully held this four-grade pill in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully, the appearance of the pill was smooth and round, and the fragrance of the pill became more and more rich and attractive at close range, so that Ming Xuan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Immediately, Ming Xuan hurriedly took out a small vial of mutton fat from his body and put this four-pinned pill into it, and if he didn't put it away, he was really afraid that he couldn't resist the temptation of the danxiang, so he swallowed the four-pinned pill in one gulp.

Looking at Ming Xuan's movements, the Spirit of the Yuan Furnace smiled slightly, and he didn't pay any attention to Ming Xuan anymore, but started refining another fourth-grade primary pill again. The difference between this refining and the previous one was that the Spirit of the Yuan Furnace directly put both elixirs into the Dan Furnace, intending to refine two four-rank pills at one time.

Seeing this situation, Ming Xuan was amazed again, and he instantly understood that the reason why the Spirit of the Yuan Furnace had only refined one pill at a time was to show him a special demonstration and explain to him what alchemy was.

In a flash, it was evening, and the Zhenbao Store was still full of people at this time, and it seemed very lively. In the midst of this endless flow of people, a black-robed man wrapped in a black robe walked into the crowd inconspicuously, and then walked around to a hidden corner, quickly took off the black robe on his body, revealing a young and resolute face, it was Ming Xuan!

Thinking of the surprised expression of the other party when he handed over the two four-rank pills to Luo Xili's hands, Ming Xuan couldn't help but admire the spirit of the Yuan Furnace more and more, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to become an alchemist.

In addition, there was another thing that made Ming Xuan extremely happy, that is, he successfully got the news about the thousand-year-old cold marrow liquid from Liluohua's hands—in the hands of a fourth-grade alchemist in the Zhongchuan Earth Dan Master Association.

Then Ming Xuan went straight back to Mingjiazhuang and went directly to Ming Li'er's courtyard. Finding that Ming Li'er was still asleep, Ming Xuan had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile, and left after placing a letter next to Ming Li'er again.

Then Ming Xuan went to find the Ming and Qing Song people, and told him that he would return to the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range tomorrow to cultivate, and discussed with a few people the next development plan of the Ming family's medicine collection team, but he didn't say a word about the Ming family's upcoming addition of several superlative pills, after all, this matter would be solved by Zhenbao Xing, and it was better for him not to show his head.

The Ming and Qing Song people did not persuade Ming Xuan to return to the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range, because they all knew that the current situation of the Ming family was quite serious, and only when Ming Xuan entered the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range again could he turn the tide. And with Ming Xuan's return to the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range again, it also means that the Ming family's medicine collection team is already safe in the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range, and it is impossible for the Guo family to obtain any elixir from the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range.

In the early morning of the next day, Ming Xuan left Mingjiazhuang early in the morning, and then came to a very dilapidated courtyard outside Mingjiazhuang.

The whole courtyard is only a grass house of about ten square meters, surrounded by a half-person high wooden fence. At this moment, there was curling smoke over the courtyard, and it was obvious that the people in the courtyard were making breakfast on a fire.

Ming Xuan stood outside the courtyard for a moment, and then gently pushed open the simple wooden fence door, and what caught his eye was a thin figure with his back to him, who was blowing the fire under the stove in front of the simple kitchen, and on the stove was a clay pot, which was steaming hot, obviously cooking something.

"May I ask if this is Quan Si's home?" Ming Xuan lowered his tone as much as he could, for fear of scaring the other party.

But despite this, the thin figure was still startled, and quickly turned around, protecting the clay pot behind him: "Let me tell you, our family has nothing of value anymore, and there is nothing to eat, what else do you want?"

Only then did Ming Xuan see the appearance of the person in front of him, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a linen dress that had been mended several times, with a melon seed face, a cherry mouth, and a few black charcoal ashes hanging on her face, which was obviously smoked by a fire.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, I'm not a wicked person, I'm a friend of Quan Si, and I came here to see his family!" Ming Xuan smiled and comforted.

The little girl looked at Ming Xuan a few times suspiciously, and found that Ming Xuan was indeed dressed a little differently from those wicked people, so she shrank slightly and asked, "You... Are you really my brother's friend?"

"Really!" Ming Xuan nodded at the little girl with a firm expression, and then continued to ask with a smile: "So you are Quan Si's sister, what is your name, and who else is in the family?"

"I... My name is Kwon Xiyue, home... It's just me and my mother at home!" Quan Xiyue replied with a worried face.

"Quan Xiyue?" Ming Xuan lowered his head and read it lightly, and couldn't help but admire: "When the moon rises, the fairy dances, the beauty covers the present and the ancient, and the lotus flower is ashamed of the jade face! It's really a good name! But your brother is the captain of the Ming family's martial arts medicine collection team, how can you live in such a place?"

As he spoke, Ming Xuan couldn't help but look around the courtyard with four walls in the morning.

Ming Xuan's words seemed to arouse Quan Xiyue's injury, and tears rolled in his eyes and said: "Originally, we lived in a relatively spacious courtyard, but more than two months ago, the news of my brother's death in the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range came back, and my mother and I were driven out by the enemies who had a grudge against my brother before, and the house was also occupied by that group of bullies. After many twists and turns, my mother and I finally found such a place to stay. But the group of bullies didn't think it was enough to relieve their anger, so they came to us every once in a while to collect it, and snatched all the valuable things and food. ”

"How can this be reasonable! There are such bullies on the periphery of my Mingjiazhuang, it's really a shame for the people of my Mingjiazhuang!" Mingxuan was so angry that he had a murderous aura, but he didn't think that Quan Si's family would live such a difficult life.

Mingxuan's sudden angry shout also startled Quan Xiyue, and the little girl couldn't help but stumble back a step, and directly knocked over the clay pot on the stove that was cooking food, and smashed it on the ground with a bang.

Looking for prestige, I saw a pool of slightly white liquid flowing on the ground, and I could only see a small number of rice grains, most of which were unknown wild vegetables, which could be described by the words clear soup and low water.

Quan Xiyue squatted on the ground and looked at the porridge soup scattered all over the ground, tears could not stop flowing like beads with broken threads, biting her lip tightly, as if she wanted to try not to cry out loud.

"Xiyue, what's wrong?" an old voice came from the door.

It was an old woman over fifty years old, with gray and unkempt hair, a coarse linen dress with a few patches, a face carved with a few deep wrinkles by the years, and her eyes were blind for some unknown reason, and she was carefully touching the door and moving forward.

"Mother, no... It's okay!It's my brother's friend who came to see us!" Quan Xiyue quickly cleaned up her mood, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and ran towards the old woman.

Looking at this scene, Ming Xuan couldn't help but moisten the corners of his eyes, thinking that Quan Si was dedicated to the Ming family, but in the end, his family ended up with such a fate, which was really a little sad! At the same time, Ming Xuan also understood that the situation of Quan Si's family may be just the tip of the dark iceberg of the Ming family's medicine collection team, if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, the Ming family's medicine collection team will disperse sooner or later.

"It seems that regarding the matter of the people of the Ming family's outer sect, we need to urge the Great Elder and the others to speed up their pace again. Ming Xuan sighed slightly.

Then Ming Xuan suddenly made a bold decision in his heart, and said to the old woman and Quan Xiyue with a warm face: "Mother-in-law, I am the brother-in-law of Quan Si, and today I was entrusted by my brother-in-law to pick you up and go with my sister-in-law to enjoy Qingfu!"

"You... Are you really my brother's sworn brother?" Quan Xiyue asked as she held the old woman and stared at Ming Xuan with a stiff expression.

"Really, your brother and I only got married to brothers with different surnames in the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range not long ago, so I guess he hasn't had time to tell you yet!" Ming Xuan sighed deeply, revealing a sad look on his face.
