According to the cultivation method recorded on the scroll, Li Yuan felt that he could understand it quickly.
It felt as if he was born with a special talent for soul power cultivation.
This ability of its own has not been explored before.
Now through the cultivation method on the scroll, this talent is suddenly opened.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to try to control and gather the scattered soul power in his body.
"The body is yang, the soul is yin, the spirit appears, the beginning of life, Nirvana is experienced, and the soul becomes spiritual..."
According to the cultivation formula on the scroll, the soul power in Li Yuan's body gradually condensed, seemed to be slowly controlled, gathered in his mind, and finally diffused from the center of his eyebrows, and then slowly spread out.
As the soul power spread, Li Yuan discovered that even with his eyes closed, he could feel everything in the forest as if he were seeing it with his own eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt that he had completely controlled that special power.
Moreover, that force continued to grow stronger, making everything around him feel more and more clearly.
"Yes, your talent in cultivating soul power is indeed good."
Suddenly, Li Yuan was inexplicably surprised when he heard Ling's praising voice. It was rare for Ling to have such an attitude.
"Really? Then what state have I reached now?" He exited the cultivation state and asked hurriedly, "I feel like I have encountered a bottleneck now, and it seems a bit difficult to improve."
"Not bad. You are only at the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm. Your soul realm has reached the mortal realm, and your soul power has reached perfection. In terms of soul power alone, no one in the mortal realm can compare." Ling Xin said happily.
"Then I have the ability to prepare the Qi Refining Liquid myself." Li Yuan said excitedly.
"Well, I don't know. I'm not an alchemist." Ling said helplessly, "You can read the chapter on medicine and figure it out for yourself. I can't help you."
Li Yuan knew this was the result.
Now that he can control the soul power, he can directly check the chapter on medicine knowledge.
The expression on the handsome face was both excited and nervous.
He was excited because he was about to start his journey as an alchemist.
The tension is that he cannot learn based on the contents of the scroll alone without the guidance of a teacher.
He thought for a while, without browsing from the beginning, and scanned the contents with his soul power.
When he casually checked the contents of the scroll, he was completely stunned.
After a long time, he slowly came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "The contents on the scroll are too detailed. There are lifelike three-dimensional images, detailed descriptions of the materials, and materials that can be used to refine those pills. prescription."
Li Yuan was shocked and froze in front of the scroll for a long time.
Li Yunqing in the distance was very curious. He walked up to Li Yuan, opened his red lips slightly, and asked weakly: "Xiao Yuanzi, are you okay?"
"Little aunt, I'm fine, I'm just a little excited. The content in this scroll is too detailed." Li Yuan smiled at Li Yunqing.
"That's good." Li Yunqing stopped disturbing and walked to the forest to continue practicing Yuan Shu.
Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bluestone and used his soul power to explore the contents of the scroll.
After half an hour, he browsed through all the contents and began to meditate.
After a moment, read the contents of the scroll again.
This time it took much less time than the first time. It only took a moment to read all the content again.
Then he began to meditate on the contents of the book again.
After another moment, I read the contents of the chapter on medicine recognition again.
This time Li Yuan spent less time than the second time. It only took half a moment to finish reading it again.
The scroll in front of him disappeared, indicating that he had memorized all the contents in his mind and would digest it slowly bit by bit later.
The top priority now is to go to nearby towns and buy the materials for preparing the gas refining liquid.
………
Yangyan City is one thousand miles southeast of Malan City and eight hundred miles east of Lime City.
Late at night, in a courtyard of the huge Ma family residence in the city.
Ma Zhitian, the head of the Ma family, who was wearing a fiery red robe, had a gloomy face, even a little scary.
The Ma family highly values the practice of fire-based techniques, so naturally most of the clan members also practice fire-based elemental techniques.
As the leader of the clan, he exerted himself to the extreme, but the aura emanating from his body at this time was filled with a hint of coldness.
With a sharp gaze, he glanced around and finally landed on Hall Master Wu of Lihuo Hall in Lime City. Ma Zhitian asked in a cold voice: "Master Wu, please tell me clearly what is going on."
When Hall Master Wu heard this, his body trembled non-stop. Although he was at the peak of Yuanli Realm, he was like an ant in front of the head of the Ma family, the Yuandan Realm.
He had been in Yangyan City for almost a month and happened to meet Ma Zhitian in retreat, but he didn't dare to tell anyone else about it. He didn't meet the Ma family leader until tonight.
"Clan Chief Ma, I just told you the situation. When we arrived, they were already lifeless. And I checked the alleyway carefully and found nothing suspicious left. Judging from the situation of Master Junshou and the others, , I’m afraid it wasn’t our Yuan Zhe from Lime City who did it.” Hall Master Wu said tremblingly.
"Zhishan, what do you think?" Ma Zhitian turned his head and looked at Ma Zhishan, the eldest elder of the Ma family beside him.
"Judging from the Yuan Shu on them, either this person deliberately lowered his cultivation level to perform it, or the Yuan Shu has not been refined to perfection. Otherwise, judging from the damage caused by these two Yuan Shu, if they use it with all their strength, they will They will be annihilated and no bones will remain." Ma Zhishan stared at the five corpses on the ground with cold eyes.
After hearing Ma Zhishan's words, Hall Master Wu couldn't help but feel nervous.
I'm glad I didn't meet the person who killed Ma Junshou before, but now I'm a little scared thinking about it.
"Judging from the physical conditions of several of them, the Yuanjutsu they performed should be second-level Yuanjutsu, proficient in the art of wind and thunder. But we have never heard that there is such a number one person around Lime City. If it is true as you said He suppressed his cultivation, so his cultivation is no less than that of you and me."
Ma Zhitian is worthy of being a strong man in the Yuan Dan realm and the leader of a clan. He can roughly determine the opponent's situation with just a few corpses.
However, he never expected that the people who killed Ma Junshou were two people, and their cultivation levels were only at the early stage of Yuanli Realm and the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm.
After pondering for a long time, Ma Zhitian's eyes twitched, he took a deep breath, paced back and forth slowly, and then said in a deep voice: "In this matter, I don't want other than the three of us, there are also people from you Liehuo Hall who discovered them. Besides, no one else knows."
"Do you understand what the clan leader means?" Ma Zhishan shouted in a low voice.
"I understand." Hall Master Wu's face was pale, his whole body was shaking, he didn't dare to move, he nodded silently.
Ma Zhitian thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Hall Master Wu, you have to investigate this matter secretly in Lime City and don't make it public."
"Okay, I understand." Hall Master Wu nodded in response.
"Zhishan, I am going to personally go to Lime City to investigate the alley where Shou'er was killed. During my absence, you will have full authority to handle clan affairs." Ma Zhitian looked at Ma Zhishan and ordered.
"Yes." Ma Zhishan nodded.
After all, if such a powerful man appeared and was going to be detrimental to the Ma family, you can imagine what the consequences would be.
What's more, the person who died could be his grandson.
………
The mountains are continuous and green.
Under a strange mountain, outside the hidden cave, there are lush shrubs and thick leaves, completely blocking it.
If you don't get close enough, you won't be able to notice it at all.
The cave is not big, only about ten feet deep, and about three to four feet at its widest point.
There are many medicinal materials piled up in the cave, which is filled with a strong medicinal smell.
In addition to medicinal materials, there is also a furnace and a large amount of dry wood.
"Xiao Yuanzi, are you sure you want to prepare the Qi Refining Liquid yourself?" Li Yunqing frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.
After looking around the cave, Li Yuan smiled lightly and said, "I've got everything done, of course I want it."
"Ling, please persuade him. This is no joke." Li Yunqing begged, staring at the small attic suspended in mid-air.
"Li Yuan, this medicine refining is indeed no joke. The scroll the old man gave only has the prescription. The order of preparation of each medicinal material and the amount of it are not clear at all."
Lingben didn't want to persuade him at first, but he thought about it. If the preparation was wrong and it turned into venom, it would be a big trouble.
"Practice Peiyuan Gong is so painful, I have endured it. Just prepare a medicinal solution now, don't worry." Li Yuan said lightly. In fact, he was beating a drum in his heart. He even boasted about how he prepared the Qi Refining Liquid. If you are in order and retreat in the face of battle, how can you raise your head before the spirit in the future?
What's more, Ling doesn't know how to refine medicine at all.
If he learns the art of alchemy, he will have some capital in the game between the two parties.
Otherwise, Ling will always have a condescending attitude.
Li Yuan set up the cauldron, then lit the dead branches to heat the cauldron, and arranged the materials one by one.
Fortunately, there are not many materials for preparing Qi Refining Liquid, only five kinds.
If there were a few more materials, he really wouldn't dare try it.
Seeing that the furnace was almost hot, he began to throw a material into the furnace.
After simmering for a while, I then threw in the second ingredient according to the amount and time I deduced.
After all five ingredients were put into the cauldron, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
After simmering for half an hour, the medicinal soup began to become rich and viscous.
"It looks like it's almost done. Take a sip and try refining it." Li Yuan murmured.
Li Yunqing saw Li Yuan scooping some out of the cauldron with a small long spoon and preparing to drink.
She frowned and said worriedly: "Xiao Yuanzi, boil these ingredients like this and they will become Qi refining liquid."
In fact, Li Yuan was also a little worried, fearing that something would go wrong, but he and his aunt were the only ones in the cave, and there was a scammer.
The tricked medicine doesn't work, but it's impossible to ask my aunt to test the medicine. I can only try the medicine myself.
"Don't worry, I have carefully deduced the quantity of each ingredient and the cooking time. There should be no problem."
After hearing what Li Yuan said, Li Yunqing stopped blocking him and hurt his self-confidence.
Looking at the medicinal liquid Xiao Chang scooped up, Li Yuan gritted his teeth, then opened his mouth and drank it, then sat cross-legged and started refining.
"It doesn't seem to have any effect."
After practicing for a while, Li Yuan did not feel any effect of the medicinal liquid.
After exiting the cultivation state, after careful analysis, he poured out the previous batch of cauldron liquid and started over.
The reconfigured liquid medicine is finished brewing.
"After refining, I feel a little cold all over my body. It's not a good sign. It seems like something is wrong. If I try again..."
"My whole body feels numb, no, continue..."
"My whole body feels hot, but it's still not right. Continue..."
"Xiao Yuanzi, I think there's something wrong with your expression. Otherwise, let's not try. How about we find another city and participate in the duel?" Li Yunqing advised.
"Little aunt, I'm fine. I can control the situation well. I feel like I'm getting closer to success." Li Yuan shook his head.
"Why, you got a nosebleed from riding on a horse."
"This time, my mouth is bleeding."
"Oops, why do I feel a little dizzy..."
Li Yuan's eyes darkened and he fell directly in front of the furnace.
"Ling, help Xiao Yuanzi." Li Yunqing said anxiously.
"Don't worry, he's fine. He just drank too much medicine. It's been too hard these days. He'll be fine after a nap." Ling comforted him.
Xiaoxiaogang flew to the top of the furnace and circled in a circle, then said in a slightly excited voice: "Qing'er, I didn't expect that this kid would actually do it."
Li Yunqing helped Li Yuan lie down on a huge stone in the cave, then walked to the furnace and said softly: "Is there really Qi Refining Liquid in this?"
"It is estimated to be close to 10% of the efficacy of Qi Refining Liquid." Ling said.
"After so many days of refining, it's still less than 10%." Li Yunqing felt a little disappointed when he heard this.
"It's already very good. I only have the prescription and slowly explore it. If others don't have decades of experience, it would be impossible. He might have died from the poison long ago. I didn't expect that this kid really has some talent in refining medicine." He said happily.
A few hours later, the furnace in the cave began to boil again.
The several materials in the cauldron became rich and viscous again under the simmering flames, with traces of medicinal fragrance permeating the air.
"continue……"
Li Yuan picked up the small ladle again and scooped out a small spoonful of liquid medicine from the furnace cauldron.
"not enough……"
"It's still not enough..."
"continue……"
"Continue..."
…
He didn't know how many times he had tried it, but Li Yuan felt dizzy, but he still picked up the small spoon and took a sip.
"Well……"
When the medicine entered the entrance, Li Yuan's eyes were like copper bells, and he immediately sat cross-legged and began to practice.
After a while, wild laughter resounded in the cave.
"Did you make it?"
Li Yunqing looked at Li Yuan's crazy look and wondered.
"Although it is not yet comparable to the purity of what is sold on the market, it is barely usable. I will spend some more time studying it to improve the purity and refining speed."
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and now he was going to study and practice at the same time, raising his cultivation level to the peak of Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible, and then hoped to step into the Yuanli Realm with the help of the three-line Jin Li Dan he took.
………
While Li Yuan was preparing the gas refining liquid, Ma Zhitian came to the place where Ma Junshou and several people fought before his death in Lime City.
That alley was well preserved by Liehuo Hall and was basically not damaged twice.
For a strong man in the Yuan Dan realm, he can basically deduce the situation at that time based on the clues of the remaining energy in the battle.
During the deduction process, he basically overturned his previous guess. He originally thought that it might be a Yuandan realm strongman who deliberately lowered his cultivation level.
But following the traces of residual energy, he was 90% sure that the other party was two people, and their cultivation level was at the middle stage of Yuanli Realm at most.
Thinking of this, Ma Zhitian's face turned gloomy and he said to himself: "In the Yuanli realm, you can actually practice second-level Yuanju to such a proficient level. Your talent is very extraordinary.
"Isn't it possible that Shou'er and the others have encountered geniuses from some big forces in Great Xia? I haven't heard of any other forces entering within a thousand miles of Yangyan City recently. Could it be that someone is deliberately targeting the Ma family..."
The more Ma Zhitian thought about it, the more something was wrong, and his face became more and more solemn.
After a moment, he put away his doubts, swayed, and disappeared into the alley.
………
In the cave.
Li Yuan has been immersed in refining Qi refining liquid and practicing at the same time.
He improved the purity of the gas refining liquid to a level that could be sold on the market.
The quantity refined every day is also constantly increasing.
One bottle a day at first.
Slowly, three bottles a day, ten bottles, a hundred bottles, a thousand bottles a day.
Finally, dozens of furnaces were started at the same time, reaching a capacity of 3,000 bottles a day.
His cultivation also reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm during this period.
After Li Yunqing practiced some of Li Yuan's modified parts of the Yuan Training Technique, his cultivation was slowly improving, but the Yuan Stones consumed were relatively large, so he stopped and still focused on the cultivation of Yuan Shu.
After reaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm, Li Yuan stopped practicing and also stopped refining Qi Refining Liquid.
He wants to adjust his body to its peak state and start to attack the Yuanli realm.
After a period of adjustment, Li Yuan felt almost ready and sat cross-legged on the huge bluestone in the cave.
With a flick of his fingers, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
The mouth of the bottle was slightly tilted, and a dark brown pill rolled out and fell steadily into the palm of his hand.
The round and shiny Jinli Dan has three circles of Dan lines clearly visible.
The elixir exuded a refreshing fragrance, and he gently put it into his mouth without any hesitation.
As soon as the Jin Li Dan enters the mouth, it immediately melts away, erupting with a warm feeling and pure energy.
Suddenly, that warm pure energy rushed into his body, and his whole body trembled suddenly, but there was no strange look on his face.
Put your hands in front of you, form the cultivation mudra, and perform the Yuan-Building Kung Fu.
With the operation of Pei Yuan Gong, the pure medicinal power began to be refined crazily, causing great waves in the body.
Time passed bit by bit, and the energy between heaven and earth continued to penetrate into his body.
The energy and medicinal power that entered the body were refined by him at the same time. At the same time, the two energies also collided, causing the muscles, bones and veins to continuously feel pain.
Fortunately, his soul power was extremely powerful, so although he was in labor pains, he was still very conscious.
The energy and medicinal power that entered the body through frantic refining caused the vitality in the body to grow tremendously, and began to gather into a chaotic mist.
Then the chaos began to expand from slow to fast.
By the end, the chaotic mist was expanding at a speed that could be described as rampant.
He exerted all his strength on the Pei Yuan Gong to compress and solidify it, and the refining of energy and medicinal power continued.
The chaotic mist expanded and compressed.
After experiencing this repeated process countless times, Li Yuan found that the chaotic mist in his body had become much more solid without even realizing it.
