Qi Feihong himself did not pay attention to these. He focused all his energy on cultivation and was completely indifferent to these. Qi Feihong has benefited a lot from five years of hard training, but his swordsmanship has never progressed, which makes him unwilling.
This time Huangfu Cheng and Fairy Nihuang left Feihu City. He and Qian Zhirou practiced in seclusion in the space-time formation. The couple practiced Huangfu Cheng's swordsmanship together. Qi Feihong estimated that the seclusion would last ten years.
The ten years outside are one hundred and twenty years within the time and space array. This is a very long time, so long that many ordinary people cannot imagine it.
Qian Zhirou was worried that staying in seclusion for too long would arouse some people's suspicions, so she persuaded Qi Feihong to go out and explain things clearly to everyone. Qi Feihong thought right, so he summoned the senior officials in Feihu City and told them about his husband and wife's seclusion. , ask them to manage Feihu City well, and come to him at any time if there are any major issues that cannot be decided.
Everyone knew that Qi Feihong had encountered a bottleneck in practicing swordsmanship. They also all knew that it was inevitable for him to retreat into seclusion and it was difficult to persuade him. They could only promise Qi Feihong that he would manage Feihu City well.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Qi Feihong entered the space-time formation and began his long retreat.
In the space-time formation, Qi Feihong and Qian Zhirou either practiced Huangfu City's swordsmanship separately, or they practiced sparring together, trying to find a way to break the bottleneck of Qi Feihong's swordsmanship training. They were both husband and wife.
Even so, Qi Feihong's swordsmanship still showed no improvement in the first year of training in the space-time formation. He even experienced a regression in his swordsmanship during practice because of his inner anxiety.
Qian Zhirou was worried for Qi Feihong and advised Qi Feihong not to continue practicing swordsmanship and to stop and rest for a while. Qi Feihong himself knew that there was no need to rush. He stopped practicing swordsmanship and started practicing alchemy and weapon refining. Occasionally, he would also take time to practice Qilin Star Jue, Nine Turns Heart Sutra, Nine Tribulation Magic, Iron Monkey Fist, Sky Jump and other techniques. Law or combat skills.
Qi Feihong practiced his exercises or other combat skills very quickly and made such rapid progress that even Qian Zhirou couldn't help but feel jealous. But once you start practicing Huangfu City's swordsmanship, everything will be reversed, as if you were cursed.
Qi Feihong also gradually figured it out, no longer blindly pursuing swordsmanship, but slowly improving his own realm. He practiced hard at the Qilin Star Art, accumulated spiritual power, washed marrow and cut bones, slowly approaching the middle stage of the Fusion of God Realm.
Time flies, Qi Feihong practiced the Qilin Star Art and the Nine Tribulations Magic Art for three years without knowing it. Three years outside, thirty-six years inside the time and space array. In the past thirty-six years, except for the first year when Qi Feihong was practicing swordsmanship, in the other thirty-five years, he spent most of his time and energy on practicing the Qilin Star Art and the Nine Tribulations Divine Art. His realm has not been broken through yet, but he feels that the breakthrough is not far away.
In fact, it didn't take long for Qi Feihong to break through to the Fusion of God Realm. Strictly speaking, he couldn't break through again so soon, otherwise the realm would be unstable due to breaking through too fast, which would affect his future cultivation. Qi Feihong himself knew this very well, so he stopped practicing the Qilin Star Art and the Nine Tribulations Divine Art, and once again focused on practicing alchemy and weapon refining. What he has learned is too complicated and requires more time and energy to practice slowly in order to reach what he considers to be the highest state.
Qian Zhirou has been practicing the swordsmanship passed down to her from Huangfu City over the years. So far, she has acquired 20% of the swordsmanship passed down to her by Huangfu City. If her realm could be the same as Huangfu City's, reaching the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, her swordsmanship would only be 30% as powerful as Huangfu City's.
Qian Zhirou is a genius in swordsmanship, and she and Qi Feihong form two completely opposite extremes. For ordinary people to practice Huangfu City's swordsmanship, it would take at least hundreds of years to reach Qian Zhirou's current level. Qian Zhirou has only been practicing for more than a hundred years, and she is really a genius in swordsmanship.
In the fourth year of the couple's seclusion, Qi Feihong, who was practicing alchemy hard, suddenly stopped practicing one day and said to Qian Zhirou: "Rou'er, please leave the time and space formation for a few days. I feel that I will be able to do it soon." Become a fourth-level alchemist and prepare to refine a batch of fourth-level spiritual pills, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, to strengthen the body and meridians. This process will be very dangerous, and if you are here, Rou'er, I will be distracted."
Qian Zhirou knew that what Qi Feihong said was true. It was indeed very dangerous to try to refine the fourth-grade elixir for the first time. She nodded in agreement, told Qi Feihong a few words, and left the space-time formation.
The relationship between Qian Zhirou and Qi Feihong is actually a bit strange. They were said to be a couple, but apart from practicing together, they didn't seem to have done anything else. Qi Feihong had never touched Qian Zhirou, and Qian Zhirou actually didn't think too much about it. They both seemed to understand each other's thoughts, but they just didn't tell them.
They have the name of husband and wife, but not the reality of husband and wife, but the relationship between the two seems to be relatively close, and it is true that no outsider can see any difference. And this is a matter between the two of them, and it's hard for others to say anything.
At this time, Qi Feihong took out the Nine Heavens Xuanding and took out a large amount of spiritual herbs that he had brought with him. After making some preparations, he began to refine the fourth-grade spiritual elixir, the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Refining a fourth-grade elixir is not easy, and many alchemists cannot refine even one in their lifetime. Qi Feihong's attempt this time was not casual. He had practiced alchemy over the years and felt that he was about to reach the level of a fourth-level alchemist, so he thought of giving it a try to see if he could refine a fourth-level elixir.
Li Zheng, Qi Feihong's old friend and sworn brother, once said that the chance of success can be increased by 30% by refining the Nine Heaven Xuanding Cauldron, and the quality is one level higher than what is refined with ordinary Baoding. Over the years, Qi Feihong has used it to refine elixirs, and the chance of success can indeed be increased by 30%, and the quality is also better than the elixirs refined with ordinary treasure tripods. This time Qi Feihong tried to refine the fourth-grade spiritual elixir Marrow Cleansing Pill, so he naturally brought out the Nine Heavens Xuanding, hoping to increase the chance of success.
Qi Feihong first removed the impurities from hundreds of spiritual herbs and extracted the pure medicinal liquid for later use. This step alone took him almost half a day.
Just by the dense jade bottles containing medicinal liquid on the ground, we knew that this fourth-grade elixir was not so easy to make. Apart from anything else, just the purification step requires an alchemist with a strong enough soul to do it.
Of course, Qi Feihong is not using soul fire to directly purify the spiritual grass, and his need for the power of the soul is much smaller than before. He is now using Skyfire Black Flame, which consumes much less power than Soul Fire before.
After all the medicinal liquids were prepared, Qi Feihong immediately started the second step of preparing the elixir. The amounts required for various spiritual herbs were different. Qi Feihong followed the instructions of Fairy Nihuang and added the various spiritual herbs one by one according to their proportions. In a huge jade bottle, a complex and tedious preparation of medicine began.
You must be extremely careful when preparing the medicine. Any mistakes will affect the quality of the elixir. Qi Feihong carefully adjusted the medicine, and it took him a full hour to complete this step.
Qi Feihong looked at the medicinal solution in the jade bottle, feeling quite satisfied and couldn't help but smile.
The third step of the elixir is fusion and refining. This step is to combine the different medicinal powers of different elixirs and then refine them into a medicinal solution with special effects. This step is the most critical, and the control of firepower is also very strict. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
Qi Feihong also carefully controlled the Skyfire Black Flame, using the most suitable temperature to slowly combine and refine the medicinal liquid. The medicinal liquids slowly merged together and turned into a new medicinal liquid. This step took Qi Feihong three hours. In the end, he felt exhausted, as if he had fought a battle with a master, and he almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Fortunately, he was physically strong enough and mentally determined. He gritted his teeth and persevered, successfully completing the fusion and refining step.
Refining elixirs is also hard work. If he were not strong enough, Qi Feihong would not even dare to try to refine a fourth-grade elixir.
Looking at the powerful medicinal liquid, Qi Feihong was in a good mood, and without taking any rest, he immediately started the last step - forming the pill.
He was a little excited in his heart. After all, he had not been practicing alchemy for too long. If he could successfully refine a fourth-grade elixir this time, he would be considered a genius.
