In an underground secret room in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, there are several shelves placed against a relatively well-protected wall, and the shelves are scatteredly filled with various medicinal materials.
In the center of the secret room, a bronze medicine cauldron was suspended in mid-air. Following the movements of two figures on the ground, countless phantoms trembled out.
As a violent breath swayed around the tripod, the medicine tripod suddenly stopped motionless in mid-air, and then crashed straight down to the ground.
boom--
The three legs supported the medicinal cauldron, which was half a man tall, but added three new concave marks to the already bumpy ground.
There was silence in the secret room for a few seconds. A few eyes quickly moved around Ding, and a cheerful voice suddenly sounded: "It seems to have been successful!"
A figure jumped out from the medicine shelf, passing over the two figures sitting cross-legged, and its footsteps became faster and faster.
Mu Qing watched the girl rushing towards the medicine cauldron like a spiritual deer, frowning slightly and shaking her head helplessly, but her eyes followed her with expectation.
Zhang Shaoyao glanced at the walls and floor around the secret room with the corner of his eye, looking at the traces of serious injuries, he stuck out his tongue, and his feet slowed down when he came to the medicine cauldron.
There was no strong spiritual energy wave again. She stretched her neck curiously and looked into the medicine cauldron.
Mu Qing was one step faster than her, and he came directly to her side. He stretched out his hand to grab her waist and carried her back to the medicine shelf.
As soon as the two of them stood firm, the entire secret room exploded with a muffled sound, followed by continuous smashing sounds.
The medicine cauldron seemed to have landed safely, but it exploded in an instant.
Fist-sized pieces flew away in the center of the chamber, and then hit the wall and the floor. The power of this sudden explosion is several times stronger than any summer hail, and every impact is torturing people's eardrums.
There was no way to hide in the secret room. Mu Qing, who had long been accustomed to this situation, turned around subconsciously and used his back to face the flying fragments. Then he freed his hand and used his true energy with his backhand. A wall of air.
This furnace explosion in the secret room, from the explosion to the stop, was like a summer shower, it came and went quickly.
Zhang Shaoyao groaned, shrank his neck in fear, and buried his little face contentedly into the chest of the person in front of him.
"You're so careless all the time, be careful!" Mu Qing punishedly pulled the bun of her hair that was pressing against her chin.
Zhang Shaoyao snorted: "I clearly felt that there was no aura fluctuation. Besides, you didn't stop me before."
"We did succeed this time!"
A voice suddenly caught their attention.
In the previous explosion, Huaifenghua and Huaicao Shi were safe. Mu Qing turned around and was instantly attracted by the blood-red pill floating in Huaifenghua's hand.
Zhang Shaoyao quickly ran to Huaifenghua. He leaned his smooth oval face in front of the elixir, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked with slender eyebrows: "Master, what kind of elixir is this? Why am I on the elixir list?" never seen it."
Huaifenghua breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mu Qing who was walking towards him, "You can give your brother a name."
Huai Caoshi picked up a piece of medicine cauldron fragment, pointed at it and said: "This time the explosion furnace appears at the end, look at it, junior sister."
When Mu Qing came in front of a few people, Zhang Shaoyao nodded slowly and said with a sense of participation: "Such small cracks appear on the inner wall of the medicine cauldron. It seems that it is because it cannot withstand the energy release when the elixir is formed. There is no elixir on it. The spiritual essence of the medicine remains.”
As she spoke, she bent down and found a few more bronze fragments on the ground. After looking at them carefully, she raised her little face and said to Mu Qing in a very confirming tone: "I declare! This alchemy was a success."
Huaifenghua was happy to listen to her disciple's judgment, and nodded with satisfaction, "Shaoyao is right. Since the elixir is restrained and formed, and there is no spiritual essence left on the fragments of the medicine cauldron, then the elixir refining this time can be considered a success."
Huaifenghua said as she sent the elixir floating in her palm to Mu Qing, with a slight smile on her lips, "We have fried the furnace so many times, and finally we have waited for a good result."
Huai Cao Shi also nodded in agreement, rubbed the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, winked at Zhang Shaoyao and said, "Your master always praises you for your talent in alchemy. It doesn't seem to be showing off. This meticulous observation is indeed not bad. It’s been a long day, little guy.”
The girl was praised one after another, especially in front of Mu Qing. She was embarrassed for the first time and said repeatedly: "No, no, I haven't done anything to help these days except pouring medicine into the medicine cauldron."
Hearing what Zhang Shaoyao said, Mu Qing quickly looked at the Huaifenghua and Huaicao poems in front of him, and said seriously: "Shaoyao is right, I have been numb these past few days..."
Before the word "trouble" could be uttered, Mu Qing was interrupted, and Huaifenghua said expectantly: "Feel the power of this medicine to see if it can solve that problem."
Mu Qing nodded, and slowly explored the blood-red elixir with his true energy and spiritual consciousness, closing his eyes slightly to feel it.
Zhang Shaoyao opened his mouth and looked at Mu Qing and then at his master and the others. What's the problem with him?
It seems that I haven't felt that way these days.
While waiting, she glanced across the medicine shelf, looking at the cold jade box on the top of the medicine shelf, and narrowed her eyes.
It was obvious that Wanhua Valley had experienced several turmoils, and everyone was still doing well. From now on, it would be until the clouds cleared and the moon came out, but she saw the same urgent look on everyone's faces again that they had before the turmoil started.
When did this look appear on everyone's faces again?
The girl tilted her head, vaguely remembering the pavilion.
She could feel that after chatting with the master, they were ready to prepare for something, but her keen sense brought trouble to her family, because she found that everyone seemed to have some kind of good intentions, so after she repeatedly pestered Even then, I didn't know what they were talking about.
"is that useful?"
Huaifenghua's voice sounded slightly nervous, and she said with some regret: "When I first joined Hidden Valley, it was probably because of Murong Yun that I didn't take the Jie Dao Pill."
"The Jie Dao Pill of that period was already different from what Mu Qing had." Huai Cao Shi shook his head and said calmly.
Mu Qing opened his eyes and said, "Uncle Master is right. Although Murong Xiuming didn't want to say more when he asked them for the Earth Spirit Root, the Jie Dao Pill already used Ten Thousand Flower Pills as raw materials."
"This should be some kind of secret method, not alchemy." Huai Cao Shi paused and looked up at Mu Qing.
Seeing that the three women were waiting for his response, Mu Qing raised the corner of his mouth and said, "The most powerful alchemist in Wanhua Valley is here. I'm afraid the entire dynasty can't find anyone more powerful than you, my aunt. Why, are you doing this to me?" Not confident anymore.”
"Ah, how is brother?" Zhang Shaoyao's little face was full of worry before he heard the answer from Mu Qing himself.
Mu Qing thought about the unobstructed and unobstructed feeling he had just felt, and solemnly nodded and said, "Of course it works."
He looked at the blood-red elixir floating in his palm, "Since it's called Jie Dao Dan, then this kind of elixir should be called Dao Dao Dan."
"Auntie, do you have any objections?" A new elixir should be named by the person who prepared the recipe and refined it successfully. Mu Qing did not forget this rule.
"Passage Pill? You are so wise. I only hope that in the future you will be able to ascend to the sky if your path is unbroken." Huaifenghua smiled brightly and asked: "Do you need us to protect you? If there is a problem, we can deal with it in time."
Huai Caoshi also nodded and said: "There were a lot of problems with the Heart Soul Pill before. We were present when you took this Passage Pill."
Mu Qing just hesitated slightly and nodded in agreement. But before swallowing the pill, he looked at the cold jade box next to the shelf. Huai Fenghua knew what he meant, "Don't worry, even though the furnace has been exploded several times, The loss is not small, but as long as you are sure that the elixir is indeed effective and you refine it in the future, you can refine a dozen pills at least while maintaining your capital."
Zhang Shaoyao hummed from the side: "Master's guaranteed quantity will be doubled several times under normal circumstances, and I can definitely help with the alchemy!"
"I heard from junior sister that you still need to refine a heart and soul pill." Huai Cao Shi asked from the side as he remembered something.
During the past few days of alchemy, the two sisters, Huaifenghua and Huaicaoshi, who had been separated for many years, finally cooperated with each other to make alchemy again. They showed a high level of understanding almost from the beginning. This is why they did not need Zhang Shaoyao's assistance. s reason.
During the exchange process of the alchemy furnace, the two also confirmed that the quality level of the Heart Soul Pill refined by Huai Cao Shi had exceeded the quality level of Wanhua Dan, exceeded the quality level of spiritual elixir, and reached the first-turn golden elixir level requirements.
It is extremely difficult to successfully refine such an elixir. Huai Cao Shi asked this question because he wanted to determine how to allocate the amount of earth spirit root.
Mu Qing thought of the short few days in Jinguan City, and felt sourness and warmth in his heart. He looked at Huaifenghua with a little surprise. It seemed that his aunt had not told his uncle about these things. He said carefully: "It's me. An elder in Jinguan City heard from a descendant of the Medicine King Li family that it is also a symptom of extinguished heart fire. Maybe this Heart Soul Pill can really work."
"Where's the extra elder..."
Zhang Shaoyao lowered her head and muttered in a low voice. She felt more and more depressed that her brother had just gone out for a trip. Even though he had become a lot stronger, he also hid many secrets from her. The two of them had no secrets at all before...
Hearing her disciple's thin eyebrows and complaining, Huaifenghua raised her eyebrows and glanced sideways at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing smiled coquettishly, their eyes intertwined, and they were the only ones who understood the matter before it spread.
When she first talked about it in the pavilion, she was talking about the past that seemed like a lifetime ago. When the boy talked about his experience of going out, she had to admire how many adventures this boy had.
At first she regretted not bringing wine because the tea tasted a bit bland as she talked about those sad past events. But after hearing that Mu Qing was having such good luck, she drank cup after cup of tea. What was originally a bit of sadness about dwelling on the past has turned into endless lamentation.
If his father was as thoughtful as this kid, maybe...
So after talking about it in the pavilion, her mood became much calmer, while Mu Qing became silent and sad again.
