Great Spirit.

Danding Sect, inside the Elixir Garden.

Su Xing looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to the left and right, he plucked a 'purple ginseng grass' in the medicine garden and hid it in his sleeve.

After doing all this, Su Xing took a deep breath and inadvertently glanced at the exit of the Elixir Garden.

OK.

Fu Qingsong, the steward of the Elixir Garden, was lying on the rattan chair with his eyes closed at this moment, as usual.

Steward Fu is accustomed to taking a nap after noon every day, which is the experience that Su Xing has carefully observed and summed up in January.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xing walked quietly and quickly towards the outside of the elixir garden.

But....

Just as Su Xing was about to walk out of the elixir garden, Steward Fu's voice came faintly: "Don't you tell me when you leave at this time?" ”

As a medicine boy in the Elixir Garden, Su Xing needs to work in the medicine garden every hour and cannot leave until the hour of the unitary hour.

If converted to a 24-hour clock, this is equivalent to 11 hours of work per day.

During the period, you should not be lazy or leave early.

According to the regulations of the Danding Sect, Su Xing left the Elixir Garden at this time, and he needed to inform Steward Fu in advance.

Outside the Elixir Garden.

Hearing Steward Fu's voice, Su Xing had no choice but to turn around.

He didn't have any expression on his face: "Steward Fu, I just saw that you were taking a lunch break, so I didn't dare to go up and disturb." ”

"Hmm...."

Steward Fu lay on the rattan chair and did not move: "Why did you leave early?" ”

Su Xing said respectfully: "I am not feeling well. ”

Steward Fu sat up.

He glanced at Su Xing's sleeve and pointed meaningfully: "You were just in the garden, you shouldn't have taken anything that shouldn't be taken, right?" ”

Steward Fu's words made Su Xing's heart tighten.

Could it be that this old man has discovered his little moves?

But it can't be.

When Old Man Fu was taking a nap, he had always had his back to the Elixir Garden, how could he possibly know that he had stolen the 'Purple Ginseng Grass'?

Before Su Xing could speak, the Fu steward said: "You also know the rules of the sect, if you don't want to make a big deal about it, just hand over twenty spirit stones to me, I will suffer a loss, help you make up for the lost elixir, and this matter will be considered in the past." ”

Twenty spirit stones?

Hearing what Steward Fu said, Su Xing couldn't help but secretly scold the other party's black heart.

- He gets up early every day and works late at night, working day and night in the elixir garden, and only receives four spirit stones a month.

Calculate it accordingly.

Twenty spirit stones, Su Xing needed to work hard for five months to save enough.

Five months of labor in exchange for being exempted from the punishment of the sect may sound reluctantly acceptable, but it is not.

It is different from Su Xing's previous life.

The world he travels through, whether it is an immortal cultivator or a commoner, will show his remaining lifespan in his chest.

Moreover, most of these people live between 20-50 years.

Among them, people who can live past 40 or even 50 years old are called longevity.

And people like Su Xing, who have a lifespan of less than 30 years, are called short-lived.

Although the life span of everyone in this world is short, there is a low-cost 'lifespan medicine' in the immortal cultivation world, which can extend the lifespan of those who swallow it.

This medicine can only be purchased with spirit stones, and only monks can swallow it.

For those with a life expectancy of less than 40, each swallowed lifespan pill can prolong their life by one month.

For those who have a lifespan of 40 but less than 60, they can prolong their life for half a month for each lifespan pill swallowed.

By analogy, the higher the lifespan of the swallower, the lower the life-extending effect.

In addition, every time a monk breaks through a major realm, although it cannot directly increase the lifespan, it can greatly improve the life-prolonging effect of the life-saving medicine.

Therefore, the higher the cultivation, the longer the life.

As an earthling, Su Xing traveled to a short-lived species that was only 23 years old and only had a cultivation period of Qi cultivation.

When he crossed, the original owner was already destitute, with less than two months left to live.

In order to survive, Su Xing had to spend spirit stones every month to buy life pills, otherwise, he would die due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.

But the problem is.

A life pill requires five spirit stones to buy, and Su Xing's monthly income is only four spirit stones.

Unable to make ends meet, his lifespan is decreasing every month.

Even though Su Xing spent all the spirit stones on buying life-saving pills, after four months, he still only had 10 days of life.

Therefore, Su Xing didn't even have enough spirit stones to buy life pills, so where could he get twenty spirit stones to honor the lion's big mouth Fu Steward?

In desperation, Su Xing pulled the clothes on his chest open, revealing one of the blood-red 'ten' characters: "Steward Fu, you see that I am a dying person, why do I have nothing to do with stealing those herbs?" ”

The word 'ten' on Su Xing's chest represents his only 10 days of life.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are two kinds of people that monks agree cannot be messed with.

The first type of person is a high-level monk who cultivates to a higher level than himself, needless to say.

The second middle person is a short-lived species like Su Xing, who has a certain degree of cultivation and a near-life expectancy.

When a person is about to die, he can do anything.

Outside the Elixir Garden.

Looking at the longevity displayed on Su Xing's chest, Steward Fu showed a hint of jealousy in his eyes, and at the same time there was a hint of clarity in his heart.

It's obvious.

The reason why Su Xing stole the elixir was to exchange the elixir for spirit stones and buy life-saving pills to prolong his life.

It's a poor ghost, and a short-lived poor ghost.

Like this kind of short-lived ghost who doesn't have any oil and water, Steward Fu doesn't want to take the initiative to provoke.

After all, a 'purple ginseng grass' is not worth a few dollars.

After hesitating for a moment, Steward Fu waved his hand: "Since you are not feeling well, then rest for a few more days, and you should not come again during this time." ”

Seeing that the other party intended to let him go, Su Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief: "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

…

Most of the sects in the immortal cultivation realm are built on the spiritual veins.

For example, Danding Sect.

Because the spiritual veins of the sect are located on the top of the mountain, the closer to the top of the mountain, the denser its aura becomes, and it is often inhabited by characters such as the elders of the sect.

And a low-level immortal cultivator like Su Xing can only live in the same courtyard as other Qi cultivation period cultivators at the foot of the mountain.

Cultivators at the bottom of the world have to work every day.

It was just after the afternoon, it was working hours, and after Su Xing returned to the mansion, he did not see any other monks.

Since there was no one around, Su Xing planned to continue to research the formula of the life pill.

Privately researching the formula of life pills, this is taboo in the world of cultivating immortals, but in order to survive, Su Xing, who is a short-lived species, has to do this.

For some unknown reason, the Heavenly Court had issued an injunction: it was strictly forbidden for any monk to refine the life pill without permission, otherwise there would be unpredictable consequences.

If anyone violates the rules of heaven, he will be immediately decided.

Although it is impossible for Heavenly Court to pay attention to Su Xing, a monk from the bottom.

Although there are countless monks every year, ignoring the ban of the Heavenly Court, they privately study the formula of the Life Pill, and they are not sanctioned by the Heavenly Court.

But in the final analysis, refining medicine privately is not glorious after all.

It's best if this kind of thing doesn't get discovered.

in the room.

After closing the door, Su Xing took out the notes from the dark compartment under the bed and read his research experience of life pills again.

The appearance of the life pill is blood red.

It looks like a ball of meat the size of a pigeon's egg.

According to the information Su Xing found, this life pill should also be a kind of pill, and it was refined by the alchemists of Heavenly Court.

Therefore, if you want to refine a life pill, you must first know the way of alchemy.

But as a low-level immortal cultivator, Su Xing was not qualified to learn alchemy, so he thought of some other methods.

After spending two spirit stones and opening the door, Su Xing was successfully transferred to work in the Elixir Garden.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to work in the Elixir Garden, he began to supplement all kinds of pharmacological knowledge.

Besides.

As a traverser, Su Xing still has certain attainments in chemistry, and he majored in chemistry in college.

According to what Su Xing learned in his previous life, there are two main methods for analyzing life-saving drugs: 'chemical analysis' and 'instrumental analysis'.

However, due to the limited conditions, Su Xing can only use the 'chemical analysis method' at present.

The so-called chemical analysis is the use of a variety of different reagents, which are added to the sample for identification.

Using what he had learned in his previous life, coupled with the pharmacological knowledge that Su Xing had learned in the Elixir Garden, he had finally restored the formula of the life medicine by about seventy or eighty percent.

And that's not all.

During the research of the formula, Su Xing did not forget to collect all kinds of materials that might be used when refining the life medicine.

Some of these materials were 'taken' back by Su Xing from the Elixir Garden, and some were purchased from the Fang Market.

Finally.

After four months of hard planning, Su Xing planned to open the furnace for alchemy.

Although Su Xing's preparation was not very sufficient, he really didn't have time to delay it any longer, and he only had 10 days left to live.

Because of poverty, Su Xing not only lacked all kinds of raw materials, but even the Dan furnace used was also second-hand goods obtained from the market.

This Dan furnace is only two palms wide, less than the height of Su Xing's knees, and the surface is black.

I don't know how much the Cheng Dan rate can be....

In front of the alchemy furnace.

According to the Dan recipe he researched, Su Xing added materials such as 'purple ginseng grass', mica, and yellow essence into the Dan furnace in turn.

Thinking that the longevity medicine also contained protein components, Su Xing hesitated for a moment and put some beef with the closest nature into it.

After doing all this, Su Xing took out a 'Spiritual Fire Talisman' from his arms and pasted it on the surface of the Dan furnace in great pain.

Although the Qi training period monks can exhale spiritual power, they mainly use fist and foot kung fu when fighting, because the Qi training period monks cannot cast spells.

And if you can't use fire-based spells, you can't do alchemy.

For this reason, Su Xing had no choice but to buy a dozen 'spiritual fire talismans' in the Fang Market to replace the furnace fire required for alchemy.

In this way, the minimum standards required for alchemy are finally met.

in the room.

Su Xing sat cross-legged, and slowly crossed a trace of spiritual power in his body into the 'spiritual fire talisman' on the surface of the Dan furnace.

In an instant, the 'Spiritual Fire Talisman' released a blazing flame, enveloping the entire Dan Furnace.

The heat wave generated by the flames rushed straight in the direction of Su Xing, forcing him to retreat half a meter.

After nearly a quarter of an hour or so, the 'Spirit Fire Talisman' gradually went out.

According to the Heavenly Court's ban, as well as rumors.

When a monk tries to refine a life elixir, whether it succeeds or not, some unpredictable and serious consequences will occur....

So, for security reasons.

When the high temperature on the surface of the Dan furnace faded, Su Xing stood in a very far position, holding a wooden stick, and only then did he dare to carefully uncover the lid of the furnace.

I don't know if this is a success.

By mistake, Su Xing actually found four round meat balls with blood red bodies as much as the size of pigeon eggs in the Dan furnace.

Judging from the appearance alone, this meat ball is almost exactly the same as the real lifespan medicine.

Looking at the four meat balls in the stove, Su Xing felt mixed feelings in his heart.

The reason why he was happy was that the lifespan medicine had been successfully refined, and from the outside, this medicine was no different from the real thing.

And the reason why he is worried is also because of this 'life medicine'.

Can you really eat this messy thing?
