Only now did he know why only those who had reached the Soul Return Realm had to be qualified to refine the elixir. If the strength is too low, it is impossible to control so many medicinal materials distractedly. It is not an easy task to control all the herbs without leakage.

This is not to say that his strength is too low, it is true that it takes too much effort to control these medicinal materials, and he must not use two things at his disposal when refining the elixir, otherwise, the consequence will be that all the materials will be destroyed. The reason why he failed so easily was naturally because of his lack of experience.

He just wanted to reach out and wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then he ruined the raw material.

"Childe, what are you doing?"

I don't know if I heard the movement outside, Xia Ziyan walked out of the cave a little nervously, and the tension on her face disappeared after seeing the dialect outside the cave.

"Alchemy." Fang Yan didn't look back, his palm moved, and he threw a medicinal herb into the furnace.

"Alchemy?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Xia Ziyan's eyes, and she walked towards him, and then stood quietly watching from the side, not daring to say anything to disturb.

Although she didn't know that she couldn't be distracted during alchemy, she could also tell from the solemn expression on Fang Yan's face that he needed to concentrate.

More than a dozen medicinal herbs quickly melted into drops of liquid, but just as he was about to fuse, he didn't know if the heat was not in place or for other reasons, the medicinal herbs that had just fused two drops disappeared with a 'bang'.

Fang Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was a look of surprise on his face, as if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, and then threw the medicinal herbs towards the furnace.

With the experience of the previous two failures, he was much more cautious this time, and a dozen drops of liquid slowly fused under his control, forming a prototype of an elixir the size of a little finger that kept tumbling in the flames.

But just as the elixir was about to form a solid, it exploded and disappeared with a bang.

The dialect seems to be used to it, and it doesn't care, and it starts again without getting tired of it.

I don't know if it's because alchemy is really not easy, or if he has no experience in refining for the first time, after seven consecutive attempts, he still hasn't succeeded in refining a pill, all because of a reason that he can't predict, or even can't know, and it ended in failure.

Fortunately, when refining the eighth pill, the elixir of the furnace ding began to slowly take shape, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the furnace ding, although it was not very strong, but because of the proximity, Fang Yan and Xia Ziyan both smelled it.

Fang Yan was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest, and he became more and more cautious in controlling the fire and pills.

Half a quarter of an hour later, as soon as his mind moved, a black whirring pill flew out of the furnace.

Smelling the faint fragrance of this elixir, Fang Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Childe, what kind of elixir is this?" Xia Ziyan asked curiously on the side, but she was a little shocked in her heart, as if she didn't expect that with the strength of the dialect, the success rate of refining the pill would be so low.

"An ordinary healing potion."

"Healing medicine?" Xia Ziyan was slightly startled, and said hurriedly: "Childe, are you injured?" ”

"Nope." Fang Yan shook his head and said, "I just want to try what kind of process it is to refine the pill." ”

Hearing this, Xia Ziyan was relieved. Now she has unconsciously regarded the dialect as all her reliance, so she unconsciously became nervous after hearing that he was injured.

"Why are you ......" Fang Yan was about to say something more, but his eyes swept over her, but he was slightly stunned.

"When did you reach the strength of the first level of vitality?"

"Just now." Xia Ziyan replied with some embarrassment. She kept everything that Fang Yan told her in mind, including asking her to cultivate.

"Okay." Fang Yan's face couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation, "While studying the formation, don't forget to take time out to cultivate and reach the Soul Condensing Realm as soon as possible." ”

"I see, Childe."

"But remember, everything is still based on the formation, don't leave the formation behind because of cultivation."

"Hmm."

Fang Yan nodded and didn't say anything more. After all, the most important thing for Xia Ziyan now is the formation, and with her current state, it is not possible to reach the Soul Condensing Realm in a short period of time.

In fact, even if he didn't say this, Xia Ziyan wouldn't put too much thought into cultivation. Because she wasn't interested in cultivation in the first place. If it weren't for his request, she probably would never have had anything to do with cultivation.

After resting in place for a while, he began to try to refine the remaining two herbs, but to his great disappointment, both herbs ended in failure.

Ten raw materials, only one pill was successfully refined, and the success rate was really a little low. Fortunately, these medicinal materials were not very valuable, so he was not too distressed.

After wasting the remaining two raw materials, he instructed one of his disciples to send the furnace back to the Star Pavilion and enter the cave to cultivate by himself.

Although he was very interested in refining the elixir, now was not the time at all. He urgently needed Yuan Shi now, so naturally he wouldn't bother too much about other places where Yuan Shi was going to be consumed. What's more, the price of a high-grade yuan stone a day in the furnace is not something he can afford now.

What's more, now he has to concentrate most of his time on the Qingzhu Pavilion, and he doesn't have much time to refine, he has to find a way to advance to the strength of the middle stage as soon as possible, only in this way can he no longer be afraid of people with strength in the later stage.

In the following time, what the dialect does is a bit boring. In addition to constantly absorbing vitality to improve his strength, it is to cultivate the golden body technique, which is a little boring, which makes him inexplicably reminded him of life on land.

It's just that such a thought only flashed through his mind, and he was quickly driven out. Then concentrate on cultivation.

Unconsciously, half a month passed in a flash.

In the early morning of this day, a glimmer of dawn had just dawned on the horizon, and Fang Yan slowly opened his eyes.

Because he knew that today was a special day, he deliberately sat outside the cave to cultivate.

Looking around, after not seeing Ling Jingyao's figure, he lowered his head to look at his body, and after a moment, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Half a month of penance, whether it is his own strength or the golden body technique, there seems to be no obvious progress. It seems that no matter which aspect of the promotion, it will take a long time.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the distance.
