Ning Fan would never have thought that Xue Qing could smell out the number of pills just by smelling them. This keen sense of smell is something we are born with. Ning Fan asked himself that he couldn't learn it.
Refining 200 Spirit-Reinforcing Pills at the same time is not too easy for Ning Fan now.
This is also the fourth level of his alchemy skills. It would be extremely difficult for other third-level alchemists, such as Xue Qing, to refine 10 spirit-solidifying pills at the same time.
Fortunately, Ning Fan has the strength of his spiritual thoughts at the peak of the golden elixir. After taking the Divine Refining Grass and the Coral Ming King, his spiritual thoughts are stable and solid, and he has a little more agility than before.
Half an hour later, his eyes suddenly flashed, he slapped the lid of the cauldron, and before the fragrance of the medicine came out, he flicked his sleeves and sealed each of the jade bottles together with the scent of the medicine and the elixir with his spiritual thoughts.
'Shen Nian Feng Dan'!
This method of sealing the pill is a wonderful secret of the "Nine Turns of the River Cart", which can ensure that the fragrance of the medicine does not dissipate and the medicine is more powerful. Apart from Ning Fan, there is probably no other person in the Rain Fairy World who knows how to do it.
"It finally became a pill...,."
Ning Fan wiped the sweat off his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He did not immediately take the Spiritual Pill to break through the realm, but first crossed his legs and adjusted his breathing.
Guling Dan, one pill is enough to increase the spiritual power concentration of an immortal vein, gradually transforming it into a solid state. But it is not necessarily successful. Depending on the alchemist's level of alchemy, the success rate of soul-strengthening is different.
Ordinary second-level alchemy masters only have about one-third of the success rate of soul-solidifying elixirs they refine. The pills refined by third-level alchemists like Xue Qing may have a half success rate. As for the Spiritual Strengthening Pill refined by Ning Fan, it has at least a 90% success rate! This is quite a scary number!
Half an hour passed, and Ning Fan restored his mana to full before taking out the Spiritual Pill and taking it.
As soon as the medicinal power was dissolved, an extremely abundant medicinal power rushed straight into the immortal veins. The immortal veins in the later stages of Rong Ling have become tough and broad after being promoted to Ling. As for Guling, it allows the magic power in the immortal veins to continuously improve its spirituality, become rich and viscous, and transform into a solid state, laying the foundation for forming a golden elixir.
One meridians...ten meridians...hundreds of meridians!
The yin and yang demonic veins refine the medicinal power very quickly, but the drawback is that the magic power flows too fast, which causes swelling and pain in the immortal veins. But the mere pain is nothing compared to the Jade Emperor Pill.
The time lasted for a day and a night. After one day, Ning Fan let out a loud roar, and his momentum suddenly rose, turning into a strong wind and spreading out. His magic power was twice as much as before!
Cultivation, peak of soul fusion!
As for his spiritual thoughts, as his cultivation level improved, he reached the realm of half-step Nascent Soul, and it was difficult to improve even a little further.
Both his cultivation and his spiritual mind have reached bottlenecks at the same time. Cultivation is the bottleneck of the golden elixir, but spiritual thoughts are the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul!
At this point, it is useless to take any more elixirs. The bottleneck of the golden elixir must be retreated to death, and the inner demons can be slain. It will not be possible to break through within a few decades.
Feeling the vast magic power in his body, Ning Fan had a thought in his mind, flicked his finger, and a ray of lightning came out of his finger, hitting the bluestone on the ground.
The bluestone, called Ghost Rock, is known for its hardness, but Ning Fan casually blasted a small hole half an inch deep and as big as a thumb in the bluestone with a flash of lightning.
Moreover, the damaged areas of the bluestone were slightly burnt.
Thunder in the Palm! That ray of lightning was a magical power that could only be used by the old monster of Jin Dan!
Ning Fan's cultivation level has not yet reached the golden elixir, and he can only cast a trace of lightning, which is not considered palm thunder, but the power of a trace of lightning is probably not weaker than ordinary spiritual-level spells.
"This is the method of the golden elixir master...compared to the soul-melting master, it is not that the amount of magic power is greater, but the quality is different..."
He closed his eyes, calmed down the joy of improving his strength, and gradually felt calm.
Golden elixir, golden elixir...it's just one step away, and you can form the golden elixir and become a master-level figure in the Yue Kingdom.
Half a year ago, he was just a mortal, but half a year later, he already had astonishing strength. The strength increases too quickly...and the inner demons generated must be extremely difficult to kill...
The leader of the Hehuan Sect who bullied him back then, Sha Jiuyou, was just a tenth-level woman... In the eyes of Ning Fan today, she was simply not good enough.
The home back then, the Haining Ning family, it seems that the ancestor of the Ning family is now just a monk of Fusion Spirits...
"They are too weak..."
Ning Fan's tone was very calm. Hehuan Sect and Ning Family, his enemies back then, were now just ants in his eyes, not worth mentioning and dismissing.
His state of mind is changing... He is adapting to the identity and state of mind of a strong man!
He stood alone for a long time, then opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, calmly, and sat down cross-legged again.
Collect the remaining Soul-Consolidating Pills on the ground to slightly stabilize the state. When the aura is completely solidified, start refining other pills again.
...
All day and night, Xue Qing waited outside Ning Fan's alchemy room with a somewhat respectful expression.
He didn't dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Ning Fan. He was 30% sure that Ning Fan was a fourth-level alchemist!
He believed in his sense of smell, and his identification of the aroma of medicine was praised by a fourth-level alchemist back then.
Even the fourth-level alchemy master's ability to identify the fragrance of medicine is no better than Xue Qing's.
Based on his sense of smell, he was 30% sure of deducing Ning Fan's alchemy skills... And if he could observe Ning Fan's alchemy in person, his confidence would be even greater.
He, Xue Qing, stood respectfully outside the stone gate, as if a disciple was guarding the master, just like when he apprenticed under his master and learned the art of Chengmen many years ago.
Many masters who came to the Alchemy Hall to make alchemy gasped as if they were seeing a ghost when they saw Xue Qing personally guarding the alchemy outside.
"Hiss! Who is refining alchemy in this alchemy room, so that the dignified elder Xue Qing can wait like this? This person is so proud..."
"Look, what is registered above the house number is the Dual Cultivation Hall...Double Cultivation Hall... No one among those lawless women knows how to make elixirs... Could it be that Elder Ning Fanning is making elixirs among them!"
"As expected of Elder Ning... Even Xue Qing, the dignified third-level alchemist, has such respect for him..."
These masters all sighed in admiration, but as soon as they made a sound, they immediately received Xue Qing's cannibalistic look.
The eyes are fierce and inhumane. This Xue Qing is also a demon cultivator, not a good person at all!
"Get out of here! Get out of the Alchemy Palace! The Alchemy Palace is not open to anyone today!"
Xue Qing's tone was ferocious, and he even slightly released the pressure of the golden elixir. But the voice was very low, giving people an extremely funny feeling.
Xue Qing was afraid that his voice would be too loud and cause any adverse effects on Ning Fan's alchemy.
All the old monsters who came to make alchemy were driven out of the alchemy hall arrogantly. Xue Qing vacated the alchemy hall to make alchemy for Ning Fan alone!
He waited patiently here, and finally, the stone door of the alchemy room opened with a roar.
Accompanied by the scent of medicine, an extraordinary young man walked out of the alchemy room, looking slightly tired.
Although his expression was tired, his aura was completely different from before entering the alchemy room.
Xue Qing was about to ask, asking what level Ning Fan's true alchemy skills had reached, but before he could speak, he felt Ning Fan's aura coming towards him and froze in place for a moment.
"The peak of soul fusion! Did you break through the peak of soul fusion!? It only took one day!?"
Xue Qing's voice was a bit sharp and harsh due to excitement.
"Haha, it's just a fluke. Ning is a little tired today and will come to the Alchemy Palace to refine the pill another day."
Ning Fan bowed to Xue Qing and walked away.
At the same place, Xue Qing was stunned. Because of the shock, he even forgot to ask Ning Fan about his level of alchemy.
Xue Qing was somewhat concerned about Ning Fan. After all, Ning Fan was a disciple of the old devil. According to Xue Qing's understanding, Ning Fan was in the middle stage of spirit fusion before joining the sect. After entering the Demonic Ghost Forest for one month, he was already in the late stage of spirit fusion when he came out. However, he only entered the alchemy room for one day and reached the peak of spirit fusion...
Regardless of alchemy, this cultivation talent is really appalling! Even if you practice dual magic skills, you can't achieve this kind of speed!
"This boy, this boy...how did he do it..."
Xue Qing was stunned, suddenly feeling that it was ridiculous for him to look down on Ning Fan at first. This guy, with his hundreds of years of experience, can't see through it at all.
After Ning Fan left, Xue Qing slapped his forehead and finally remembered that he was so stunned that he forgot to ask about Ning Fan's alchemy skills.
"Confused, really confused, how could I forget this..."
Xue Qing was annoyed and secretly blamed himself. However, even without asking Ning Fan personally, he was still sure of one thing.
When Ning Fan walked out of the alchemy room, the scent of the medicine was undeniable... it was the smell of thousands of second-level elixirs!
In just one day, Ning Fan actually refined thousands of second-level elixirs in the alchemy room!
Perhaps Ning Fan is not a fourth-level alchemist, but at least he is a third-level alchemist!
"Hiss! A 17-year-old third-level alchemist... or even a fourth-level alchemist!" Xue Qing's eyes showed a fiery look, and he didn't look down on Ning Fan at all!
Xue Qing had an impulse to catch up with Ning Fan immediately and have a good discussion on alchemy, but after a second thought, he put away this idea.
"That's all, Elder Ning needs time to reach the peak of soul fusion and stabilize his realm. I'd better not disturb him. He said that he will come back to refine the elixir in a few days... Well, I'll wait for him!"
Unknowingly, Xue Qing addressed Ning Fan with an honorific title, and changed his self-identification from 'Old Man' to 'I'...
Calling the change also shows that Xue Qing recognizes Ning Fan from the bottom of his heart!
You know, in the entire Yue Kingdom, there are never more than ten alchemists that Xue Qing can recognize! He, Xue Qing, is such an arrogant person!
