Chapter 354: Enjoy the Solitude

After Fairy Dan and Wang Xuan left the attic, they plunged into the alchemy room, and then they didn't come out for a long time.

At the time of dinner in the evening, there were only five people: Gu Chen, Lan Dongyao, Shen Yan, Cinnabar, and Lu Qi.

Gu Chen couldn't help but ask Cinnabar curiously, "Cinnabar, how much time does it usually take for your master to refine the pill?"

After thinking for a while, Cinnabar replied: "It depends on what kind of pill is refined, if it is a low-grade pill, it can be refined quickly, but if you dream back to the pill...... I don't know very well, but the Dream Back Pill is a Nine-Rank Pill, and it is also a very peculiar one of the Nine-Rank Pills, I think the refining method should be very complicated, so even if it is refined for a whole day, it is not unusual. ”

Gu Chen couldn't help but nodded, it seems that he can't do it today.

Although alchemists and alchemists are both professions of high status.

But in fact, alchemy is more difficult.

The refiner can play freely with his superb alchemy, as long as he has enough experience and skill, he can understand everything.

Whether it is refining knives, guns, swords, axes, etc., you can play as you like.

But alchemy is different.

After all, each elixir has different materials and different medicinal effects, so the refining techniques are also different.

Often, every elixir is created after thousands of attempts.

Later generations can combine various medicinal materials with unique refining techniques according to the pills left by their predecessors, and then they can have the opportunity to refine them into pills.

But this process is not simple, because alchemy is playing with fire, and if you are not careful, not only will the alchemy fail, but even the medicinal materials will turn into ashes.

Therefore, if an alchemist wants to refine an elixir, he must be familiar with its formula, refining techniques, and then with exquisite alchemy skills, plus a little luck, in order to refine the elixir.

This is not only the case with high-grade pills, but also with low-grade pills, it's just a matter of success rate.

Even if it is a nine-rank alchemy master, refining a first-grade pill cannot be 100% successful, at most, it is infinitely close to 100%.

The three main materials of Dream Back Dan are Zhu Guo, Bodhicitta and Wannian Vine, in addition to Wannian Vine, Zhu Guo and Bodhicitta have only one copy, so when refining Dan Fairy, they will inevitably be extremely careful and strive to increase the rate of becoming Dan.

After all, if the alchemy fails this time, it will be even more difficult to find all the materials again.

......

After dinner, Gu Chen and the three of them went to the room to rest.

Shen Yan lived alone, Gu Chen and Lan Dongyao lived in the same room, after all, Fairy Dan already knew the relationship between the two.

The next day, Gu Chen woke up very early, a habit he had developed over the years.

No matter how late you sleep, you can wake up early the next day.

Gu Chen looked at Lan Dongyao, who was still sleeping beside him, couldn't help but smile, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and got up to practice alone.

After meditating in the room and practicing the Divine Summoning Technique, he stopped.

In the past, after practicing the exercises, Gu Chen would also practice martial arts for a while, but at this time, he was in Baicao Valley, and there was no suitable venue, so Gu Chen was afraid of causing too much movement, so he had to give up.

After all, whether it is a heaven-level martial art or a magic power, it is extremely powerful, and it will not be good if you accidentally destroy the medicine field of the Dan Fairy while practicing.

After Gu Chen finished practicing the exercises, he went out of the room and came to the courtyard.

At this time, Shen Yan was sitting quietly with a sword under a big tree in the courtyard.

He closed his eyes tightly, and his robe was windless.

Gu Chen's pupils shrank.

I saw that the sword intent on Shen Yan's body was surging, although the long sword in his hand was not unsheathed, but at this time, he himself gave Gu Chen the feeling that it was a sharp sword out of the sheath, faintly secretly conforming to the way of heaven, as if it resonated with heaven and earth on the second floor.

Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but nod again and again, Shen Yan once had the name of "sword idiot", and he was really a sword lover.

No matter where you are, you never stop studying kendo.

It is no accident that he has achieved today's achievements, which have been achieved through countless efforts and sweat.

Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of battle when he saw it, and wanted to learn a thing or two from Shen Yan.

But after looking around, he still dispelled this thought, after all, there is no place like a martial arts field in the Hundred Grass Valley, it is either a residential area or a medicine field.

Shen Yan seemed to notice Gu Chen's gaze, slowly opened his eyes, and the sword intent on his body gradually disappeared.

Then, Shen Yan stood up and bowed to Gu Chen: "Sect Master!"

Gu Chen nodded, and then asked Shen Yan, "Old Shen, do you often temper your sword intent like this?"

Shen Yan nodded and said, "In addition to cultivating exercises and martial arts, I will spend the rest of my time condensing sword intent. ”

Gu Chen couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Amazing, you can really persevere!, but you don't do anything else every day?"

Shen Yan replied: "The subordinates do not have specific affairs in the sect, but if the sect leader has something, just order the subordinates!"

Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "I don't think you are too idle, but I want to say that you should have your own life, and everyone has their own purpose for cultivating hard, either for power, wealth, or for family." ”

Shen Yan shook his head and said, "I don't have a family, and I don't care about power and wealth. ”

"Then there are always people who care, right?" Gu Chen said again.

Shen Yan's expression changed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal, and then said expressionlessly: "There used to be, but later, she died." ”

Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, it seems that that person is very important in Shen Yan's heart, he pretends to be nothing on the surface, but he must be uncomfortable in his heart, right?

"What about the enemy?" asked Gu Chen in a deep voice.

"The culprit is dead, and the others will be forgotten. Shen Yan tightened the long sword in his hand and replied indifferently.

Gu Chen was silent for a while, and then said: "People always live for something, and cultivation is to better protect these things, not the purpose of living. ”

Shen Yan was silent for a long time when he heard this.

Then, he stared at him and said solemnly: "I have only one goal now, and that is to stand at the peak of kendo!

Gu Chen shook his head helplessly, but this was Shen Yan's own choice, and Gu Chen couldn't forcibly change him.

Originally, Gu Chen wanted Shen Yan to consider starting a family, or accepting an apprentice, as a sustenance, not to bear loneliness alone.

But, Shen Yan may be the kind of person who enjoys solitude, right?

Often, this kind of carefree person can go further on the path of cultivation.

In fact, Heiwu was originally similar to Shen Yan, but after all these years of changes, Heiwu is no longer cold-blooded now, and slowly has a human touch.

Hei Wu is loyal to the Pantheistic Sect, and he hates the enemies of the Pantheistic Sect, but he is very protective of his own people, and he also takes good care of the younger disciples in the sect, and he is typically cold and warm-hearted.

Shen Yan's loyalty to the Pantheistic Sect is also undoubted, but his relationship with the people in the sect is very distant, and he seems to be deliberately keeping a distance from everyone.

Even Hei Wu, Chen Qiong, Chu Sheng, and Xia Yan'er, who have been with him for nearly ten years, are not very close.

However, Shen Yan's cultivation is also progressing rapidly, and now he has reached the middle stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order, and he is already approaching the late stage, while Hei Wu is still in the early stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order.

Moreover, Shen Yan's true strength is far from this.

At the beginning, when Shen Yan first entered the early stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order, he was able to win the first place in the Heavenly Rank, and his strength was comparable to the late stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order, and at the time of the ranking battle of the top ten forces, even Cao Wenxia, the elder of the Guiyuan Sect, was defeated in the hands of Shen Yan, and Cao Wenxia's cultivation was in the late stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Rank.

Now, Shen Yan's cultivation has increased greatly, and his martial arts have also been perfected, from the Holy Realm, I am afraid that no one can easily defeat Shen Yan.

Even Gu Chen, without using the "Heavenly Dao Slash" or the "Silence Divine Thunder", it would be very difficult to defeat Shen Yan.

"Huh?"

At this moment, a strong aura fluctuation came from another attic not far away.

Gu Chen and Shen Yan looked sideways at the same time.

I saw that the aura of heaven and earth swarmed here, forming a huge vortex of aura and converging in the sky above the attic.

This vision was very similar to when the monk broke through the Great Realm, but Gu Chen and Shen Yan knew that this vision was not because someone broke through.

Because, those heaven and earth aura were just simple gatherings, and they were not absorbed.

If someone breaks through, then they will definitely frantically absorb the aura of heaven and earth to replenish the vacancy of Yuan Force after the breakthrough.

Lan Dongyao was also awakened by the abnormal aura of heaven and earth, she quickly put on her clothes and came to Gu Chen's side.

Soon, Cinnabar and Lu Qi also ran over, and they all looked at the spiritual energy vortex in the sky with surprised expressions.

Gu Chen couldn't help but ask Cinnabar, "What is that attic?"

Cinnabar replied excitedly, "That's where the alchemy room is located!"

"Oh, then this vision, could it be caused by alchemy?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

Cinnabar nodded quickly and said, "It must be! Although I have never seen Master's alchemy cause such a big movement, it is recorded in ancient books that when a high-grade pill becomes a pill, it will cause a vision. The convergence of aura is one of the more common ones. In addition, if a super-grade elixir comes out, it will even cause a thunder tribulation, and if it can't withstand the baptism of the thunder tribulation, the elixir will also be destroyed!"

"I see, so to speak, this is a sign that the Dream Hui Dan is about to become Dan?" Gu Chen said thoughtfully.

"Yes, but at this time, the vision is beginning to appear, and it should be some time before Dan is completed. Cinnabar nodded.

Soon, the aura of heaven and earth gathered more and more, and the original milky white aura vortex changed due to the change in the concentration of aura, causing the color of the vortex to also change.

After a while, it turned pale yellow, and the color became darker and darker.

"Sect Master, I'm afraid that such a vision has already been discovered by many people, do you want to make preparations?" Shen Yan reminded Gu Chen.

Gu Chen thought so, and felt that Shen Yan's proposal was very necessary, if someone coveted the Dream Hui Dan, and forcibly broke into the Hundred Grass Valley at this time, it might disturb the Dan Fairy, and it would be troublesome when the time came.

So, Gu Chen nodded and said, "Old Shen, you go to the sky to watch, if someone dares to break in, just make a direct move, even if it is a person from the Lingxiao Sword Sect, there is no need to scruple!"

"Yes!" Shen Yan replied, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in place.

I saw Shen Yan suddenly appear in the sky, and Bai Zefa appeared behind him, revealing his identity to outsiders.

Nowadays, the high-level Fa of the Pantheistic Sect is well known to the world, and it is known that the white beast with the head of the sphinx represents Shen Yan, the right envoy of the Pantheistic Sect, so it will make people scruple to some extent.

At this time, the pot had already exploded outside the Baicao Valley.

First, the vision first appeared, and people with insight had already recognized that it was a sign that the Nine Rank Pill was about to come out, and the huge spiritual energy vortex showed that the pill this time was extraordinary.

A lot of people have coveted it many times.

But soon he was attracted by the appearance of Bai Zefaxiang.

knew that this was Shen Yan intimidating everyone.

The name of the Thunder Sword Shen Yan has long been powerful in the world, and he is one of the powerhouses standing proudly on the top of Kyushu.

Except for the powerhouses of the Holy Realm and the Saint Realm, no one dared to say that they could defeat him, after all, even Cao Wenxia of the Guiyuan Sect and Hua Liuyun, the master of the Heavenly Sword Academy of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, were defeated in the hands of Shen Yan.
