Chapter 289 Dan Cheng
Refining elixirs is an extremely tedious task, not to mention that Xiao Yun is now refining an eighth-grade top-level elixir that can attract nine-colored elixir thunder!
There were hundreds of medicinal herbs alone, nearly a thousand of them! With such a huge number of herbs, even with the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, Xiao Yun still needed a full day to extract all the medicinal far from him, the two dragons, Zhu and Kun, also stopped their conversation and watched the former intently as he refined the elixir. His smooth and flowing technique was very pleasing to the eye, even though they knew nothing about refining elixirs.
As time passed, the admiration in the eyes of the two dragons grew stronger. Although there were no alchemists in the Warcraft world, as powerful Dou Shengs, they had also seen the alchemy process of many eighth-grade alchemy masters.
But among those so-called alchemy masters, only a few can reach Xiao Yun's level!
"This kid's talent in alchemy is also unparalleled, with a soul at the intermediate level of the heavenly realm! Even better than in spiritual practice!" After observing Xiao Yun's alchemy for several days in a row, Zhu Kun exclaimed in a low voice.
In the Dou Qi Continent, it is a consensus that alchemy is more difficult than cultivation. Except for Xiao Yun and a few other geniuses in alchemy, the Dou Qi cultivation level of most alchemists is higher than that of alchemy.
In terms of cultivation, sometimes you can take some shortcuts, such as finding a treasure land with abundant energy and staying there to practice. Over time, your cultivation will inevitably increase. When you encounter a bottleneck, you can also take elixirs or treasures from heaven and earth to break through.
However, it is not so easy to refine the elixir. If the soul realm is not up to standard, it will be difficult to refine it even if there are more medicinal materials.
A local-level technique is enough to cultivate to the Dou Zun realm, but even a Dou Zun strongman finds it difficult to obtain a technique for cultivating the soul.
"Your Majesty, this is why Xiaoyun is known as the number one genius in the Dan Domain and even the continent, and the reason why he has both Dan and Qi..."
Zhu Ming stroked his graying beard and nodded in approval. It was normal for an eighth-grade alchemy master and a Dou Zun to be in the same person, but it was really monstrous for him to be a young man who was only in his early twenties!
……
On the other side, Xiao Yun did not hear the conversation and praise between Zhu Kun and the others. At this moment, he was highly focused, his eyes fixed on the medicine cauldron.
During these days, his alchemy was not smooth sailing. He failed twice and destroyed two cauldrons of precious medicinal materials...
Fortunately, these medicinal herbs were not sacrificed in vain. After experiencing two failures, Xiao Yun's character was not affected. Instead, he became more skilled and his refining techniques became bolder. It was obvious that he gained new insights.
At a certain moment, Zhu Kun and the other man, who had extremely sharp perceptions, discovered that the energy in the relic space suddenly began to churn violently.
The energy gathered together and turned into energy pillars, which actually swarmed towards the red medicine cauldron. Suddenly, a low, muffled thunder sounded in the sky.
In the dark space of the ruins, thick black clouds appeared without warning, and even flashes of lightning could be seen faintly.
"Hmm? I didn't expect that Dan Lei could appear in this relic space..."
Sitting cross-legged in the square, Xiao Yun slowly raised his head, looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Originally, he thought that Dan Lei would not appear in front of the ancient emperor's cave, but now it seems that the formation of Dan Lei is not limited to the location, but is formed by absorbing the energy between heaven and earth.
This is good, this way, his chances of breaking through to the semi-saint level are better!
Above the ruins, dark clouds continued to roll, and thunder shuttled quickly through the clouds like a dragon. After a while, layer by layer of colors gradually turned the dark clouds into other colors.
"Hiss, eight grades and nine colors, Xiaoyun is really a monster!" Looking at the dark clouds that finally turned into nine colors, even Zhuming, who had seen miracles happen, couldn't help but flash a touch of shock in his eyes.
The peak of the eighth rank! This is almost the peak of the alchemist! The world is so big, wherever you go, you will be the guest of honor! If you achieve the ninth rank, even if Xiao Yun does not have the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan behind him, those ancient families will also treat it seriously!
"It's really good..." Zhu Kun also nodded and said slowly.
"Boom!"
During the conversation, the thunderclouds finally stopped churning, and a violent thunderstorm sounded. A huge nine-colored pill thunder that was hundreds of feet in size tore out and flew towards the red medicine cauldron below.
"Come on!" Xiao Yun raised his head and stared directly at the nine-colored thunder that was like a giant dragon. His whole body was filled with fighting spirit and he was about to fly forward to resist.
Suddenly, a purple-gold figure emerged from the void, suspended in mid-air, blocking the path of the nine-colored thunder.
"!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yun's pupils shrank sharply, as if he had guessed something. Just as he opened his mouth, Zhu Kun had already made a move. Like the master of heaven and earth, he stretched out his hand and clenched it. Energy surged like a tide, directly wiping out the thunderclouds.
"Uncle, don't..." It was not until the thunderclouds dissipated that Xiao Yun's words reached his ears.
"Hmm? What do you mean you don't want it?" Zhu Kun was a little confused. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun, saying, "This thundercloud is too annoying. Although I know you can handle it, Zi Yan is still here absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit..."
"..." Xiao Yun felt like crying but had no tears. After hearing the other party's explanation, he was unable to utter a word.
After a long while, he tried hard to suppress his emotions, and said a little depressed: "I mean, don't hurt you..." "Hahaha, it's just a nine-colored pill thunder. Even if it is a black magic thunder, this emperor doesn't take it seriously!" Zhu Kun didn't hear the meaning of Xiao Yun's words, and just thought that the other party was really worried about him.
"Ahem, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, Xiaoyun actually has a special skill that can absorb the energy from the pill thunder and use it to induct thunder for cultivation..." Elder Zhuming also flashed over and said softly.
"Huh? You kid also have this kind of skills?" Zhu Kun was shocked when he heard this. Doesn't this mean that he meant well but ended up doing something bad?
"It's okay. Actually, the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder can't improve my fighting spirit much..." Xiao Yun shook his head and said aloud.
Things have come to this point, and there is no point in saying more. What's more, what he said is true. The Nine-Colored Pill Thunder really can't improve his fighting spirit much. His previous depression was just because the duck that was in his hand ran away.
"No matter what, this matter is ultimately my fault..."
Zhu Kun was thinking about the solution. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "How about this, I will create another small space for you and introduce the fire energy from the magma above into it.
In this way, even if it is not as powerful as the energy in the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder, it is not much different! "
"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhu Kun!" Xiao Yun nodded and clasped his fists to express his gratitude. He knew that the other party had taken action just now because he was worried about Zi Yan, and he had no intention of blaming him.
Then, Zhu Kun made another move, creating a small space, and then attracting the fire energy of the magma and pouring it into it. The energy was even more abundant than before.
"Almost done, Xiaoyun, the energy of this small space has reached its limit, you can go in and practice later!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded, then snapped his fingers and the lid of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron flew up. A streak of red light shot out like lightning and rushed towards the exit of the ruins, as if trying to escape from this place.
Xiao Yun had anticipated this situation. All eighth-grade elixirs are spiritual and know how to seek good fortune and avoid harm, so they want to escape as soon as they come out of the medicine cauldron.
"Congeal!"
With a light shout, he aimed his palm at the red light in the air and clenched it suddenly. Suddenly, the space around the latter solidified, and the pill could not move, revealing its original form.
It was a lifelike little red-gold dragon, with every scale on its body clearly visible, and a hint of spiritual energy emanating from its body.
Then, Xiao Yun waved his hand again, and the force of space carried the red-gold dragon back to his palm. He shook it gently, and the dragon shape dissipated, turning into an extremely round red pill.
"What kind of elixir is this?" Elder Zhuming asked curiously, smelling the rich fragrance of the elixir.
"Haha, this pill is called the Fire Returning Pill. It can allow Dou Zun strongmen to be promoted one star, and it can increase the chance of breaking through to the Half Saint by 10%!"
Xiao Yun chuckled softly, then flipped his hand and stuffed the Fire-Returning Pill into a mutton-fat jade bottle. He was not ready to take the pill directly yet.
To refine the eighth-grade nine-color elixir, even though he had the cultivation base of a Ninth Transformation Dou Zun, a lot of Dou Qi in his body was consumed, and he needed to recover. Only when he adjusted his condition to the peak would that be the best time to break through.
"Fire-Returning Pill...it turns out to be this pill." Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuming nodded slowly. Because Elder Yao had refined the Fire-Returning Pill in Shengdan City before, the reputation of this pill was incredibly great.
Many top Dou Zuns are now gathered in front of Shengdan City, just waiting for a Fire-Returning Pill!
“Okay, kid, go in and practice. If you can’t break through to the semi-saint level, don’t push yourself too hard!” Zhu Kun patted Xiao Yun’s shoulder and said with a smile. He wanted to see whether the latter could break through to the semi-saint level.
"Hmm..." Xiao Yun responded softly, and immediately flashed into the small space. He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to prepare for a breakthrough.
In fact, he was not very confident about this breakthrough, he just wanted to take advantage of the rich fire energy here to give it a try.
Then, Xiao Yun began to practice his martial arts. The power of his heavenly martial arts turned him into a human-shaped black hole. The fire energy in the small space continuously poured into his body. After circulating along his meridians for a circle, it was refined into fighting spirit and filled every part of his body.
This went on for an hour until the energy in the small space became much thinner. After Xiao Yun had reached the peak in all aspects, he poured out the Fire-Returning Pill from the jade bottle, swallowed it in one gulp, and immersed his mind in the breakthrough.
Seeing this, Zhu Kun, who was not far away, waved his hand and introduced a lot of energy in again. Then a space barrier quietly appeared and enveloped it.
