Chapter Twenty-Four: Tsukidan
Wang Erma saw that his backer was coming, and he suddenly had courage in his heart, and hurriedly added fuel and vinegar to say what happened just now, and finally said aggrievedly: "Senior Brother Duan, you have to be the villain's master, otherwise who will obey my control in the future." ”
Duan Minghua's face was solemn, he glanced at Wang Bin with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Half-heartedly at work, if you damage the elixir, it will be difficult to compensate for killing you." From today onwards, expel yourself from the Elixir Valley and immediately pack up your things and leave here. ”
"Senior Brother Duan, this person has an old relationship with me, and my encounter with him today is just a few words of reminiscence, is this alone to impose such a heavy punishment on him. Xiao Chen's face was a little gloomy, and he said slowly.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Xiao, it's not that Senior Brother doesn't give you face, it's really his duty, Master Zun handed over everything in the valley to me to take care of before the retreat, if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. So this matter was decided, and the junior brother didn't need to say much. ”
Duan Huaming felt that he had regained the upper hand, and his expression couldn't help but show a little bit of triumph.
"What if I don't agree?" Xiao Chen said expressionlessly.
Duan Minghua's eyes narrowed, and his expression also became cold: "Senior brother, I'm afraid I don't have this qualification yet." ”
The two went toe-for-tat, and the atmosphere gradually became a little depressed.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, turned to Wang Bin and said, "You go back to the outer gate first, cultivate hard, I believe that it won't be long before you can come back." ”
Wang Bin nodded with a little gratitude, although he didn't think he had a chance to come back, it was extremely rare for Xiao Chen to be able to do this for him. After Wang Bin left, the many outer disciples who were watching dispersed, and in the end, only Xiao Chen and the three were left.
Duan Huaming thought that he had won the game, and when he showed his face in front of Ji Yuewu, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and said with a chuckle: "Senior Brother Xiao is not in retreat and cultivation in the Medicine Garden, how can he have time to return to the Elixir Valley today?"
Xiao Chen glanced at Duan Minghua with a flat face, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't reveal his strength, he would have killed this person to scum, and at this moment he just said lightly: "I just want to borrow a Zhuji Dan from the Danfang today, since the senior brother is here, I don't have to go to Yuming again, and I ask the senior brother to go with me to get the Dan." ”
There is a pill room in the Elixir Valley, and there are a lot of pills in the medicine Daozi for the disciples to practice alchemy, and Xiao Chen's purpose is for this.
"Zhuji Dan?" Duan Minghua's eyes flashed with a little surprise.
Zhuji Dan is one of the most difficult pills to refine among the two pills, and the elixir needs thirteen kinds, although the materials are not very precious, but the rate of becoming a pill is extremely low, even if the medicine Daozi himself refines, it is only fifty percent sure. Duan Minghua, as a great disciple of the Elixir Valley, had already reached the second grade in alchemy, and he was able to refine some of the elixirs used by the monks in the foundation building period, but only this foundation building pill had not been able to refine it. It wasn't until recently, after cultivating to break through to the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and having a little more understanding of the alchemy technique, that he moved the mind of re-refining. That's why I went to the Elixir Valley Dan Room today to take the finished product of the Zhuji Dan as a reference. I didn't want to run into Ji Yuewu, this talented person who was recognized by the sect as a genius who came out once in hundreds of years, not only entered the realm extremely quickly in cultivation, but even the alchemy was also very talented, and he reached the second-grade alchemy in just over half a year, and was ready to start refining the Zhuji Dan.
These two people are both leaders of the younger generation in Luoyun Valley, and it is not surprising that they are extremely talented and can try to refine Zhuji Dan now, but Xiao Chen is just an ordinary person without a spiritual root, and all he has in his hand is an abandoned medicine garden, and it is difficult to say whether he has stepped on the threshold of alchemy now, and he even dares to pay attention to Zhuji Dan?
Thinking like this, Duan Huaming's face showed a little ridicule, and even Ji Yuewu on the side was slightly surprised, but soon returned to his normal color.
"The junior brother is really extraordinary, although he has no spiritual root, but he didn't expect that he is quite talented in alchemy, and now he has the grasp of refining the Zhuji Dan, presumably in a few months after the alchemy assessment in the door, the junior brother will definitely be able to shine in a blockbuster. However, it is a bit unfortunate that the junior brother came today, the master put a total of three Tsukidan in the pharmacy for our reference, some time ago the third junior brother Heishi took one, and today the two were taken away by me and the junior sister of the Moon Dance, it seems that the junior brother has to wait for a while. Duan Huaming complimented him, but the mockery in his tone was very clear.
Xiao Chen's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, there was no sample of Zhuji Dan, so his cultivation plan would undoubtedly be completely disrupted.
"In this case, the junior brother retired first. Xiao Chen didn't drag his feet at all, since he couldn't get Tsukidan here, he naturally had to find another way to solve the matter.
"Wait a minute, if Senior Brother Xiao really needs the Zhuji Pill urgently, I'll give this one to Senior Brother to use first, right?" Ji Yuewu suddenly said lightly, ignoring Duan Huaming's gloomy face, she directly took out a pill from the storage bag and threw it out.
Xiao Chen took it in his hand, and his divine sense swept over. couldn't help but show a little joy on his face. After a slight hesitation, he clenched his fists and said, "Thank you senior sister for wanting to let me, within three months, Xiao Chen will definitely return the Zhuji Dan." ”
After closing his words, Xiao Chen turned around and strode away.
"Senior Sister Moon Dance, why did you give him Zhuji Dan, Xiao Chen is just a mortal person without spiritual roots, how can he have the ability to refine Zhuji Dan... ”
"Senior Brother Duan, I still have some things to do today, so I'll take a step ahead, and besides, I also ask Senior Brother to call me Senior Sister Ji. Ji Yuewu lightly interrupted Duan Huaming's words, and regardless of his ugly face, he left directly.
Duan Minghua's face stiffened, and when Ji Yuewu walked away, his complexion was completely gloomy, and his face was cloudy and uncertain, so he snorted coldly and left.
In the mountainside medicine garden, Xiao Chen took the Zhuji Dan in his hand, and his divine sense was all immersed in it, analyzing the combination of medicinal power. Refining the Zhuji Pill required thirteen kinds of elixirs, and the complexity of the medicinal power combination between these thirteen elixirs was more than ten times more complicated than the Qi refining stage pills such as the Gathering Spirit Pill and the Quenching Spirit Pill, until his mind was faintly painful, and Xiao Chen reluctantly memorized the medicinal power combination in it.
After swallowing a few pills, Xiao Chen slowly refined the medicinal power while constantly replaying it in his mind, making sure that there was nothing missing, and then he entered the deep cultivation state. An hour later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and his spiritual power and spirit had returned to their peak state at this moment.
Nodding with satisfaction, Xiao Chen placed the materials that had already been prepared in front of the Dan furnace one by one.
Waving his hand to input a little spiritual power into the Dan furnace, Xiao Chen threw the elixir into it with a serious face, and his divine sense entered it, carefully grasping the changes in the medicinal power.
With the passage of time, the medicinal fragrance in the Dan furnace became more and more intense, and it seemed that it was about to become a Dan. But at this moment, there was a muffled sound in the Dan furnace without warning, indicating the end of this refining failure.
