Chapter 40: Refining the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking PillIn the quiet training room, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and thought, constantly recalling the recipe and refining techniques of the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill in his mind.
Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, a top fourth-grade pill, has the effect of increasing the strength of a Grand Fighter by one star. Although this is a fourth-grade pill, the difficulty of refining it is almost catching up with some fifth-grade pills. Xiao Yun dare not be careless at all.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yun finally opened his eyes. With a light wave of his hand, a purple spirit flower was thrown into the medicine cauldron. Under the burning of the flame, the medicinal essence in it continued to seep out. Half an hour later, only a pool of purple liquid was left in the medicine cauldron. The purple spirit flower had long since turned into ashes and was discharged by the special mechanism in the medicine cauldron.
This time, Xiao Yun did not use the previous alchemy method of wrapping the liquid medicine with flames. Instead, he adopted the most traditional and simplest method, wrapping the liquid medicine with fighting spirit and placing it in a jade bottle.
"Fortunately, the Purple Spirit Flower was extracted successfully. I have prepared two copies of other medicinal materials. If I still can't refine it, then I won't take the pill." Xiao Yun murmured to himself after wiping the sweat from his forehead. For him, the most difficult step has been successful. He just needs to proceed steadily in the rest. He still has great hope of successfully refining it.
After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Xiao Yun recovered some of his mind and fighting spirit. Then he waved his hand, picked up the herbs placed aside, and threw them into the medicine cauldron. His soul power controlled the flame to continue extracting the essence of the medicinal properties.
In this way, time passed slowly. After an hour, Xiao Yun had used up all the medicinal materials and finally extracted the medicinal essence needed for the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill.
call!
Xiao Yun took a deep breath and immediately started the next step, which was the process of fusing all the medicinal essences into a pill. While controlling the flame in the medicine cauldron, he poured all the medicinal essences in the jade bottle into the cauldron.
At the same time, Xiao Yun closed his eyes slightly, and the surging soul perception swept out from his mind and directly invaded the medicine cauldron. At this time, the reaction and fusion rate produced by the fusion of every medicinal essence in the medicine cauldron would be transmitted to his mind in a timely manner.
Then Xiao Yun would quickly follow the refining method on the pill recipe, use his soul power to control the flame, and make changes or remedies so that the medicinal essence could be smoothly integrated into the pill.
Fusion is the most important step in alchemy. If there is any mistake, all previous efforts will be wiped out in an instant. Therefore, at this step, Xiao Yun's soul perception is fully utilized, carefully controlling the temperature of the flame, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
Fortunately, perhaps because Xiao Yun's experience with Zi Yan in refining pills had improved his feel for the process, or because his soul power had increased, the entire process of melting the pill went very smoothly. After several hours, a pill with some holes in it gradually emerged from the flames.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly formed seals with his hands. His soul power guided the remaining medicine liquid in the flame, gradually filling up the potholes in the pill. Just when the medicine liquid was completely used up, the pill turned into an extremely round purple pill. The rich fragrance of the pill instantly overflowed, and the entire training room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
"The pill is done!" A light shout echoed in the room. A purple light flashed in the medicine cauldron, and a round pill was caught between Xiao Yun's two fingers. Looking at this little thing that took him nearly half a day to make, he just wanted to stand up, but his legs went weak and he almost fell. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Making a fourth-grade peak pill is really tiring. I almost lost my life for such a pill."
The Dou Qi in his body was already on the verge of exhaustion, and his mind was also exhausted. He had been highly focused when refining the elixir before, and he didn't feel anything. Now that the refining was finished, he just wanted to find a place to lie down and have a good sleep. In the final analysis, it was because his cultivation level was too low. If he were a Dou Ling, he would never be so embarrassed.
"Just sleep here. No one will disturb me anyway." Xiao Yun looked around but did not go forward to pull out the Green Fire Crystal Card. He didn't need that kind of money now anyway. What was wrong with paying to sleep in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower?
The next day
"Boom!"
The sound of an ancient bell rang out in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, waking up Xiao Yun who was sleeping soundly.
"Well, it feels so comfortable." Xiao Yun stretched lazily after waking up, listened to the crisp sound of the bones in his body, and let out a long breath.
In the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, which was full of fire energy, he only took a nap and his physical condition recovered to its peak level. Now he could swallow the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill and try to break through to the Dou Ling realm.
Thinking like this, Xiao Yun pushed open the door and came to the corridor inside the ancient tower. He watched a large number of students with red eyes hurriedly walk out of the ancient tower. After hesitating for a moment, he went against the crowd and moved towards the center of the ancient tower, where there was an entrance to the next level. He needed a lot of heaven and earth energy to break through the Dou Ling, which could only be satisfied in the lower few levels of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. Walking against the crowd, Xiao Yun encouraged the Dou Qi in his body and let it attach to the surface of his body, so that even if someone bumped into him, he would be bounced away by the Dou Qi, and the amount of Dou Qi was not much, so it would only bounce away and would not hurt others. Relying on this method, Xiao Yun moved quickly in the crowd, and less than ten minutes later, he came to the center of the ancient tower.
Looking at the entrance leading to the next floor, Xiao Yun strode forward. Just as he was about to enter, he found that there was something wrong with the space at the entrance.
"This? Is this a space barrier?"
This was Xiao Yun's first time at the entrance. He didn't expect to encounter this. He was speechless and looked up at the sky. This Sky Fen Refining Gas Tower was really full of traps. Even the entrance had to set up a space barrier.
"This is of course a space barrier, which is designed to prevent some overconfident little fellows from sneaking down there." An old voice sounded, and then a figure appeared beside Xiao Yun.
"Elder Liu, hehe, you're not talking about me, are you?" After seeing the figure's face, Xiao Yun greeted him with a smile.
Elder Liu glanced at Xiao Yun and said unhappily, "You little brat, don't you know that you can't run around in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower when the ancient bell rings? Besides, you haven't even adapted to the first floor yet, and you want to run down there?"
Hearing what Elder Liu said, Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "No, Elder Liu, I want to go down a few levels to have a look because I need a lot of energy from heaven and earth to break through to the Dou Ling level. Besides, I have already adapted to the first level. Even if I can't find it, I still have the Bing Xin Dan with me." After saying that, as if he was afraid that Elder Liu would not believe him, he released a trace of breath.
Sensing Xiao Yun's aura, Elder Liu's face showed shock, and he said in surprise: "I remember you just broke through to the eight-star Grand Fighter a few days ago, and now you are going to break through to the Fighting Spirit again?"
"It was just some luck, and this time I was going to take the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill to see if I could break through to the Douling Spirit."
"Okay, then don't be too anxious. Taking pills to break through, even though you can temper your heart fire in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, is still inappropriate. If you are not stuck in a realm for a long time, it is best not to take pills." After listening to Xiao Yun's explanation, the surprise on Elder Liu's face lessened a little, but he still spoke earnestly.
"I know, Elder Liu, can you let me practice on the next few levels?"
Staring at Xiao Yun's eyes, Elder Liu stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, "Let me sense the situation of the Dou Qi in your body." After saying that, a stream of Dou Qi was transmitted into Xiao Yun's body through Elder Liu's arm. After hearing Elder Liu's words, he also guarded his mind, removed the protection of the Dou Qi on himself, and allowed the Dou Qi to circulate smoothly in his body.
"Well, the Dou Qi in your body is so solid, without any empty color." After feeling the Dou Qi in Xiao Yun's body, Elder Liu pondered for a moment, and the surprise on his face became more and more intense. He said: "In this case, you also have a reason, so I will make an exception this time, come with me."
After saying that, Elder Liu flashed and walked quickly to the entrance. The ring flashed with light, and he took out a jade token and pressed it into a hidden groove on the wall. Immediately, the space in front of him fluctuated, and in just a few blinks of an eye, Xiao Yun found that the space barrier in front of him had dissipated.
"The space barrier has disappeared, you should go down quickly. Remember, if you can't stand the burning heart fire down there, you should go to the outermost lounge on the second floor to rest. After the tower door opens tomorrow, return to the first floor." Elder Liu reminded Xiao Yun by patting his shoulder.
"Thank you Elder Liu for the reminder. I'll go downstairs." After bowing to Elder Liu, Xiao Yun turned and walked towards the spiral staircase below.
