True Immortal of the Netherworld

Ever since Xu Yang learned the Five Elements Flame Art and obtained the Flame Wheel Spirit, the dream he had before suddenly became more frequent and clearer.

In the center of a simple magic circle, a red egg hovers. Occasionally, the figure of a girl appeared inside the eggshell. This girl had no clothes on her body, and her curled-up jade body, with its smooth lines, hung there quietly like a silver moon. The red hair is like a waterfall, falling on the fair cheeks, making it difficult to see the face. The jade arms are like lotus roots, and there is a faint plump curve in the arms that rises and falls with the breathing. From time to time, there were whispers: "Come and help me, come and help me."

What kind of strange dream is this? Where is this red egg? Who is the girl in the eggshell? Puzzled.

…

In recent days, Xu Yang has become more diligent in his cultivation, and the few pills he originally had have been exhausted.

"You have to think of a way to earn spirit stones. Otherwise, the elixirs and pills from taking care of the spirit orchard won't be able to help you at all. What talent do you have to earn spirit stones? What you are best at is making wine, but ordinary mortals Wine is not popular in the world of cultivation. If you want to brew spiritual wine, you don't have the recipe for spiritual wine. With that, the nightmare beast can turn ordinary wine into spiritual wine, and the spiritual wine can be exchanged for spiritual stones.

Then I thought again, it was absolutely impossible. The effect of the spiritual wine produced by this nightmare beast is comparable to the best elixir for restoring mana. Once this wine enters the market, people will inevitably notice the abnormality, and the matter of the Nightmare Beast will inevitably be exposed. The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade, which may lead to death. "Xu Yang was pacing in the room, thinking about it.

"I major in fire-attribute exercises, and I have learned a lot about spiritual herbs during my time at the Wood Spirit Academy. I think it will be of great help in refining elixirs. Since I don't have any spiritual stones to buy elixirs, why not make my own elixirs?" Go to the sect’s Treasure Refining Academy to be a guest disciple and learn how to refine elixirs?”

Since the realm was promoted to the realm of transformation in a short period of time, Xiao Yue'e, the head of the Wood Spirit Academy, also valued Xu Yang.

In the lobby of Mulingyuan. Xiao Yue'e, the headmaster, was wearing a purple brocade shirt and was sitting in the lobby. Xu Yang stood respectfully in the hall.

"You are going to be a guest disciple at the Treasure Refining Academy this time. If you find Elder Li, he will naturally take good care of you. I have something here that I promised to give to Elder Li a few days ago. You can give it to Elder Li by the way. "

As he spoke, Elder Xiao took out a square jade box from his storage bag. A female disciple of the deacon next to her quickly took the jade box and handed it to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang put away the jade box, thanked him, and exited the lobby.

The Treasure Refining Institute is located on Huoyun Peak within the Tiangui Sect. It is the branch of the Tiangui Sect responsible for refining elixirs and magical weapons.

Under the Fire Cloud Peak is a huge fire attribute vein, which is the place where the Tiangui Sect's fire attribute spiritual power is most abundant. Compared with the ancient and elegant style of Mulingyuan, the architectural style of Lianbaoyuan seems a bit old-fashioned. Perhaps for the sake of fire prevention, the buildings of Lianbaoyuan are all made of huge bluestones. They are more than spectacular but not beautiful.

In a hall of Lianbao Academy.

Sitting on a spring chair was a middle-aged man with a round, red face. This person is Elder Li who Xiao Yue'e asked Xu Yang to find. He is also a very famous alchemy master in the alchemy academy.

Elder Li held the jade box brought by Xu Yang in his hand. When he opened the jade box and took a look, he suddenly smiled and said with a smile: "My junior sister Xiao is really considerate. I just need this to refine a pill." After that, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Elder Li's face hardened, and he pretended to be serious and said: "Since it was personally recommended by Xiao Zhangyuan, you can practice alchemy here with me."

"Thank you, Elder Li." Xu Yang said respectfully.

…

In this way, Xu Yang became a guest disciple of the Treasure Refining Academy and learned alchemy under Elder Li.

In the alchemy room, a bronze alchemy furnace was placed on a small magic circle underground. Below the magic circle was a small fire-attribute earth vein.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. The alchemy furnace used in alchemy is one of the most important tools for alchemy. The price of a top-quality alchemy furnace is very expensive, far more than other magical weapons of the same level. Proficient fire control is the basic condition for alchemy, and good alchemy masters are fire control masters.

Xu Yang received some simple alchemy materials from the medicinal material warehouse of the Refining Institute, and decided to start trying to make elixirs according to the records in the refining method.

"Solid pill" is a very common pill. The refining materials are relatively cheap. The pill can strengthen the body. It is only taken occasionally by low-level monks, and has little effect on high-level monks. Xu Yang decided to try the "solid pill" which was easier to refine.

Making alchemy for the first time.

Xu Yang was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, with several prepared materials beside him. The alchemy furnace is divided into two layers: the upper layer is the roasting layer where the elixirs are placed, and the lower layer is the furnace fire layer.

Holding your breath and concentrating, use the fire control technique on the Five Elements Flame Technique to try to guide the earth fire several times. After feeling more proficient, a magic trick led the earth fire to the lower level of the alchemy furnace. Let go of your consciousness and stare at the flames in the furnace without blinking. He pointed at the alchemy materials next to him with his right hand and fired out a burst of magic power. Several alchemy materials flew into the upper level of the alchemy furnace one by one in order. Control the alchemy furnace to close the lid, continue to use fire control to control the size and temperature of the flame, and observe the refining status of the elixir in the furnace at any time.

An hour passed. Xu Yang hit a magic formula on the bottom of the furnace, stopped the fire, opened the furnace lid, and took out the elixir in one go.

Originally, this furnace contained eight "solid pills", but when Xu Yang took out the refined pills, he saw that only three pills had been formed. Looking at the three pills in his hand, one of them still seemed a little burnt, and the other one was a little stiff. Only one of them looks similar to the Cheng Dan described in the book.

Xu Yang took this seemingly successful "solid pill" and took a small bite. It has a bitter taste with a slight medicinal aroma, and the taste and medicinal power are the same as the low-grade "solid pill" described in the book, which makes me feel slightly comforted. Although only one of the eight materials was successfully used, it was still the first time in my life to make an elixir.

You must know that many novice alchemists may not be able to produce a complete elixir after practicing for several days. I thought to myself that although I was good at controlling flames by practicing the Five Elements Flame Technique, the process of alchemy was so subtle and profound that it was not possible to succeed simply by following the diagram. It seemed that I needed to work hard to achieve it.

In the next few days, Xu Yang tried to activate the wheel flame spirit in his body and channel the power of the flame spirit into the furnace fire to refine the elixir. As a result, refining earth-type elixirs was extremely successful. Not only was the success rate extremely high, but the grade was also quite high. But it has no obvious effect on refining elixirs with other attributes. This discovery made Xu Yang very happy.

Time flies by like a white horse, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Lianbao Academy issued a notice from the hospital that the biennial internal assessment would be held in seven days.

This assessment is divided into two groups: weapon refining and alchemy refining. As a disciple of Li Changlong, Xu Yang is qualified to participate in the assessment of the alchemy group.

The reward for first place is a high-grade furnace. The reward for second place is three high-grade elixirs. The reward for third place is three hundred mid-grade spiritual stones.

The content of the assessment is that the hospital lists three levels of elixirs according to the difficulty of refining them: primary, intermediate, and advanced. You must pass the assessments of the three levels in order to have a chance to get a good ranking. The success rate and quality of refining the elixir are the key to scoring.

Seeing the reward for first place, Xu Yang was a little moved. I don’t have many spiritual stones, so I can’t afford to buy a high-grade alchemy furnace. The first place reward this time is a replica of the "Kowloon Red Gold Furnace". Although it is an imitation, it is still a top-quality spiritual weapon.

After looking at the rules of the competition, Xu Yang felt secretly happy. Xu Yang's current level of alchemy is only at the entry-level level, and he cannot even enter the top thirty, let alone the top three.

However, with the assistance of the Wheel Flame Spirit, there is still great confidence in refining earth attribute elixirs. As long as you choose an earth attribute elixir to refine every time and strive for a good ranking, you can still give it a try. Although it is a bit tricky, it is also due to ability.

After deciding to participate in the assessment, Xu Yang carefully considered and selected an earth-attribute elixir called "Netherworld Black Blood Pill" as the ultimate goal of the assessment.

"Netherworld Black Blood Pill" uses the crystals of Netherland and the essence and blood of ghost black monkeys taken from the land of ghosts and roars as materials. This elixir is extremely difficult to refine. Its effect is to nourish the energy and blood of monks who practice Ghost Dao Kung Fu. It is very helpful in breaking through various cultivation bottlenecks. This elixir is almost an auxiliary elixir that can be used by ghost Dao monks when they reach the true elixir realm. One of the medicines. Because it can be used by monks of all levels, the demand is huge, the materials are precious, and it is extremely difficult to refine. Therefore, this elixir is quite valuable.

The disciples who participated in the examination were assigned to small closed alchemy rooms in the examination room. Before the contestants refine the elixir, they are required to search themselves to prevent the contestants from bringing in the finished elixir.

Xu Yang was in the alchemy room No. 23.

The assessment begins.

According to the formula of the elixir selected by the contestants, the materials for the competition are placed one by one in front of each alchemy room by the deacon disciples. Then, after being inspected by three competition supervisors in turn, the assessment disciples can collect the materials into the alchemy room for refining.

"The primary assessment begins!" Following the command from the competition supervisor, the primary assessment began.

A tea cup passed.

A small red flag was first erected outside the alchemy room on No. 23, indicating that the refining was completed.

"On the 23rd, the refining is completed."

The competition steward's disciples took away the five "Earth Jiao Dan" placed on the tray by Xu Yang, brought them to the competition supervisor, and gave them scores.

Five is already the maximum number that can be produced from these refining materials, and the elixir yield rate is 100%. There are three silver lines on each brown pill that Xu Yang refined, which is obviously a top-grade pill.

When five "Earth Jiao Pills" were brought to the competition supervisor. The faces of the three elders responsible for grading all showed expressions of satisfaction.

After that, other disciples completed the refining one after another.

Xu Yang successfully passed the preliminary examination.

The process of the intermediate assessment is exactly the same as that of the primary assessment. In order not to attract too much attention from others, Xu Yang did not take out the prepared elixir immediately. Instead, wait until the two people in front have finished practicing before handing over the elixir.

There are still five pills, each with three silver lines on them.

In this way, Xu Yang successfully entered the final level, the high-level assessment, as he wished.

In the alchemy room on the 23rd.

In front of Xu Yang were a small green porcelain bottle and a slightly larger white porcelain jar.

After opening the green vial, a strong smell of blood hit my face, and there was a faint bitter taste in the smell of blood.

"Ghost black monkey blood." Xu Yang said to himself.

Another porcelain jar contains the crystals of the underworld that Xu Yang saw in the underworld fantasy killing array in the land of ghosts. Each crystal of the underworld is about the size of a soybean, irregularly shaped, and twinkling. With black crystal light and a hint of ghostly aura.

I recited the refining process silently in my mind twice before starting the formal refining.

Xu Yang carefully crushed the Underworld Crystal into fine powder. Then mix the blood essence and the crystal powder of Hades in a certain proportion to make pills. Five purple-black elixirs are neatly placed on the refining baking tray, and then placed into the elixir furnace roasting chamber.
