If ranked by the strength of divine consciousness and comprehensive strength, Long Xiaoyao is definitely the first person in the foundation building period. But in the process of sealing the talisman, he completely relied on his powerful divine sense to suppress the activation of the rune. Moreover, the true qi he injected into the runes was far more than many times that of other immortal cultivators who drew intermediate spirit runes, which was already comparable to high-level spirit runes, and the power of the runes was also more powerful.

After many times of practice, Long Xiaoyao was able to barely complete the drawing of the intermediate spirit runes, but after completing the drawing of several intermediate spirit runes at most each time, he would feel that his divine sense was exhausted and he had to cultivate and recover.

Long Xiaoyao spent more than a month to replenish a large number of intermediate spirit runes for himself, the only pity was that the mutated talismans needed to be cultivated in the Jindan period to draw, so he lost a more powerful talisman as a help.

In addition to practicing talisman making, Long Xiaoyao also completed the first Cheng Dan in his life. Although he already knew the process and techniques of alchemy, he had only practiced refining herbs. The refining of medicinal herbs is the foundation of alchemy, and it is related to the grade of the elixir, so he is not in a hurry to practice Cheng Dan, but concentrates on laying a good foundation.

Long Xiaoyao's first Cheng Dan was a Qi Gathering Pill that was refined, it was just the most ordinary pill, and the raw materials were only about ten years old, and his spiritual power was not very abundant, so he didn't encounter much trouble in the process of Cheng Dan.

In the process of alchemy, the stronger the spiritual power contained in the raw materials, the more difficult it is to achieve uniformity when the herbs are fused, and in the process of condensing the pill, due to the impact of spiritual power, it is easier to cause cracks. According to the techniques of the ancient cultivation pill, the herbs with abundant spiritual power need to be suppressed with a powerful divine sense when they become a pill, so that the ingredients in the pill cannot move at will, or the spiritual power leaks out.

This is also the reason why refining the higher the level of the elixir, the more difficult it is, not only do you need to have a strong divine sense, but also, as the elixir gradually condenses, the pressure of the divine consciousness also needs to be weakened accordingly. This requires a strong ability to sense herbs, and can adjust the power of the divine sense at any time according to the progress of the Ning Dan, and the difficulty can be imagined.

However, these are not the issues that Long Xiaoyao, who has just learned alchemy, needs to consider, he can only use a true fire, and he can't refine high-grade pills at all. However, he still adjusted his divine sense according to the techniques recorded in the alchemy experience, through the induction of the pill. Good habits need to be cultivated from the beginning, which is very important for refining high-grade pills in the future.

Of course, Long Xiaoyao's first Cheng Dan was not all smooth sailing. He possessed the sensing ability of the Wood Spirit Root, and he could accurately grasp the fire-resistant surname of the herb crystal, and it was not a problem to melt it at the same time, and his divine sense was strong, and the fusion process of the elixir liquid needed to be stirred by turning the void into reality with his divine sense, which was not difficult for him.

However, the process of condensing the liquid medicine into a pill, the change of the pressure of the consciousness, and the speed of increasing the speed and rotation of the liquid medicine when taking the pill require continuous accumulation of experience to improve the ability to sense and cooperate.

At the beginning of Long Xiaoyao, it was either that the pressure of the divine consciousness was too great, causing the pill to shatter, or because the speed of rotation was too slow, the pill could not remain round, or because the liquid was raised too fast, causing cracks to appear inside the pill.

However, Long Xiaoyao's greatest specialty is that he is good at summarizing, and after each failure, he learns from it and improves it the next time he refines the elixir. Moreover, after several refining, he also gradually mastered the coordination knack between the degree of condensation of the medicinal liquid and the power of his divine sense, and after dozens of failures, he finally succeeded in obtaining the first finished Qi Gathering Pill.

Of course, in order to better grasp the induction power of medicinal herbs, as well as the changes in his divine consciousness in the process of condensing pills, he deliberately experimented with the adjustment of the divine consciousness pressure, the rotation speed of the liquid medicine and the speed of improvement, so as to feel the corresponding changes in the liquid medicine and deepen his understanding of the sensitivity and understanding of the liquid medicine.

With the first Cheng Dan, Long Xiaoyao naturally had a better understanding of the process of Cheng Dan, and when he continued to refine the Dan, it was relatively easy to become a Dan, but according to his own summary, he made some adjustments in some details, so that the quality of the pill was further improved.

However, most of the pills that Long Xiaoyao learned to refine were pills that assisted in cultivation during the Qi cultivation period, mainly because the raw materials were relatively cheap, and he couldn't make up any of the herbs needed to refine the pills in the foundation building period. Moreover, the foundation building period pill is not very useful to him now, so he didn't deliberately collect it again, but just gathered hundreds of copies of the foundation building primary-level water spirit pill and practiced the high-level pill refining.

Long Xiaoyao can be regarded as an outlier in the immortal cultivation world at this time, and he has already dabbled in almost all miscellaneous studies in the immortal cultivation world, and his attainments are not low. You must know that any kind of miscellaneous science in the immortal cultivation world can make an immortal cultivator poor for a lifetime and not be able to reach the peak, therefore, most immortal cultivators will not waste their energy on miscellaneous learning, but devote all their body and mind to cultivation.

Fortunately, Long Xiaoyao did not delve into a miscellaneous study, but only sought application, which did not cause him to delay too much time. Of course, this is also due to his powerful divine sense, which allows him to get twice the result with half the effort when studying miscellaneous studies. However, as a self-sufficient casual cultivator who needs to do everything, he can learn all kinds of miscellaneous studies, which can not only save a lot of spirit stones, but also improve his own strength, although it also takes some time, but it benefits him a lot.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing that it was about to reach the opening period of the Luoyue Mountain Range, Long Xiaoyao immediately set off. The location of the trial of the Luoyue Mountain Range is at the top of the Jade Emperor of Mount Tai, and all the participants can enter the trial place of the Luoyue Mountain Range under the organization of the landlord: Dao Xiu Sanyang Temple.

Long Xiaoyao changed his appearance into a middle-aged monk with a scorched face, and flew safely all the way to a mundane town not far from Mount Tai, where he lived for three days until the early morning of the day of the trial, and arrived at Mount Tai.

At the foot of Mount Tai has gathered hundreds of immortal cultivators in the foundation building period, because the immortal cultivators basically rely on the assistance of Ning Dan, although there are two kinds of pills in the immortal cultivation world that can replace Ning Dan, but the effect is very different, so that the probability of the pill that is not high is reduced by two percent out of thin air.

Although the Luoyue Mountain Range opens once every twenty years, and the number of condensation grasses picked is pitiful, because a single condensation grass can refine 4 or 5 condensation pills, and each immortal cultivator can only take the condensation pill once in his life, and the number of immortal cultivators who have reached the conditions for condensing pills is not too much, therefore, the immortal cultivation world in the Shenzhou Continent has not been greatly affected by the scarcity of condensation grass.
