Lin Xuan had his own plans in mind. To get the Trash Pills, he needs to obtain a certain amount of status in Spirit Pill Mountain. If he can become an Elder, he naturally would have the right to freely enter and exit the Trash Pill House.
Although the Trash Pill management here is stricter than in the Whirlwind Cloud Valley, it is not a finished Spirit Medicine product, and there are certainly some loopholes.
Unlike other Sects, the status of a Spirit Pill Mountain cultivator is not in the realm of cultivation and strength, but in direct proportion to Alchemy.
Therefore, in order to attract the attention of the other party, Lin Xuan deliberately purified a Middle-Grade Pill, and the other two were turned to scrap. This choice is also exquisite. If all three are successful, it will be too shocking, even though he wants to be seen by the Sect Master. He has to do things moderately, for this matter, Lin Xuan understands clearly.
After thinking about it in the heart, Lin Xuan felt that there should be no flaws in his approach. Then he sat down in Lotus Position and started practicing his Cultivation Method. The Sect Master will come to check tomorrow. Lin Xuan does not want to waste time.
…
One day later, Lin Xuan successfully joined Spirit Pill Mountain.
“Immortal Master, here is your dwelling, if you’re dissatisfied or something is missing, ask this junior.”
A 20-year-old boy, with a respectful expression, was the Outer Sect Disciple who took them to Spirit Pill Mountain yesterday.
“Well, it’s good, go on!”
‘Yes!’
Lin Xuan looked at the Cave Mansion, which was converted from a natural cave, but it was not rough and decorated very elegantly.
There is a living room, a cultivation room, a guest room, and a storage room.
Especially behind the Cave Mansion, there is a separate Alchemy room that introduces the Fire of Earth Veins through a sophisticated FormationArray.
Lin Xuan came to the entrance. A layer of blue light appeared in front of him, Lin Xuan flipped his hand, and there was a waist card on his palm, and with a light stroke, the Blue Light lighted up and automatically separated to reveal a passage for one person to walk through.
Pushing the stone door into the Alchemy room, it is hundreds of square meters in size. In the center of the room, there is a deep underground passage. At the entrance, he found the head of a beast cast with iron. The beast had its mouth open. With the use of a Secret Art, the Fire of the Earth Veins can be ejected.
This Alchemy room is obviously much better than the one used for the test.
Lin Xuan strolled through the Cave Mansion and was very satisfied. However, the expression on his face was a little weird. And it was not clear whether it was worry or joy.
In order to gain the attention of Sect Master Tong Yu, Lin Xuan deliberately purified a Middle-Grade Pill, which should be appropriate according to his ideas. Not too swaggering, but it shows that he has a good Alchemy talent.
However, the result is different from what Lin Xuan imagined…
It can’t be said that Lin Xuan’s approach is wrong, but including him, generally, cultivators know too little about Alchemy.
For example, Whirlwind Cloud Valley. Although to the entire Cultivation World, it is not a great sect, but in Yan Prefecture, it’s one of the best. The Alchemists in the sect can only refine Low-grade pills.
Although a Middle-Grade Pill is only one level higher, the difficulty of refining is not comparable to a Low-grade pill.
Even in the Spirit Pill Mountain. The cultivators that can refine a Middle-Grade Pill is only about half, and the success rate is generally low except for a few.
As a rookie, Lin Xuan just read a few books and did not receive the systematic training of Alchemy, and actually produced a Middle-Grade Pill, although there is no lack of luck, but it is enough to prove his talent.
Can’t blame Daoist Master Tong Yu for making mistakes. After all, no one can guess that Lin Xuan can actually turn waste into treasure.
Such a genius is only seen once every hundred years. Plus Lin Xuan has the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage and has more time to study Alchemy than a disciple of the Spirit Condensation Stage. So Tong Yu values him more.
On the spot, he expressed his willingness to accept Lin Xuan as a disciple.
In terms of cultivation, Tong Yu is in the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage. It is only slightly better than Lin Xuan. Of course, it’s not enough to be his teacher, but when it comes to Alchemy, looking at the entire Cultivation World of You Prefecture. Daoist Master Tong Yu is second to none, the so-called apprentice is to teach his skills.
Lin Xuan naturally has no reason not to agree. Under a big tree, it is good to take advantage of his status. With the Head as his Master, he’s a lot closer to his target.
However, everything was in conflict with each other. He originally entered the Spirit Pill Mountain, just to find some Trash Pill, but now I am the disciple of Daoist Master Tong Yu…
Lin Xuan took out a few Jade slips from his arms, all of which were the Alchemy Techniques that have been passed down through Spirit Pill Mountain for thousands of years, including various recipes for medicine pills, raw material ratios, fire control, and some problems you need to pay attention to when practicing Alchemy. As well as notes of the ancestors of the past generations.
It’s precious, but Lin Xuan sighs, not that he looks down on these techniques, but Alchemy is so profound, how can it be easy to learn, one’s energy is limited, and Lin Xuan doesn’t want to be distracted.
But I have to deal with it, otherwise, when his master asks, he won’t be able to explain himself. Lin Xuan injected his Spiritual Sense into the Jade slip and tried to understand it.
Unlike the ordinary Medicine books bought at Hailong Pavilion, the technique of Alchemy recorded in the Jade slip was so profound, that Lin Xuan is quickly intoxicated.
…
Time goes by, unconsciously, it’s been three months since Lin Xuan came to Spirit Pill Mountain.
In a Cave Mansion, an ordinary boy is holding a Jade slip, studying hard and frowning from time to time, even writing and drawing on the ground.
Initially, Lin Xuan studied the secrets of various Alchemy techniques just to cope with his Master.
However, as he kept reading, Lin Xuan found that Alchemy was not as useless as imagined. At least for himself, figuring out the various recipes for medicine pills, the proportions of various ingredients, is useful for purification.
For example, with his 100 Foundation Establishment Trash Pills, Lin Xuan had a 20% success rate, but after delving into various books, despite Lin Xuan’s current cultivation. which has not improved, and is still at Foundation Establishment Stage First Layer, but three Trash Pills can be purified successfully.
Moreover, the reason why Alchemy consumes a lot of energy is that if you want to be a good Alchemist, you need to keep trying.
Lin Xuan has a huge collection of books, but it doesn’t take much time. On the contrary, after he finishes his meditation, he reads the Pill books, it can also be regarded as a pastime.
Although he’s determined to get the Trash Pills, Lin Xuan has not taken any action in the past three months. He is anxious to eat hot tofu. Although he is a disciple of the Sect Master, he is just getting started, and if he makes a move early he’ll attract attention.
Anyway, he already is a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. And has a longevity of two hundred years. Waiting for a few days is nothing, Lin Xuan strives for stability and likes to be safe.
Of course, in the past three months, he has not been idle. He purified the Trash Pills from Taobao and consumed them for cultivation every day. Although it is difficult to make progress in his cultivation due to the small amount, at least, it made his cultivation base more stable.
The Path to Immortality is a long way to go, just like Spirit Condensation and Foundation Establishment Stage.
For the rest of the time, Lin Xuan began to browse through the books that the Spirit Pill Mountain has been inherited for thousands of years. Although he isn’t well versed in alchemy, and there is no outstanding cultivation method, but Lin Xuan got some benefits from reading through them.
Lin Xuan didn’t want to learn Alchemy, but he was still dazzled by it.
Since Spirit Pill Mountain is famous for Alchemy, of course, there are a lot of Spirit Herbs, and Lin Xuan brought a hundred Red Silk Grass from the Medicine Garden.
It took a day for Lin Xuan to purify them all.
This type of Spirit Herb is required for both the Demonic Disguising Technique and for hiding his cultivation base, but carrying liquid is too inconvenient.
Previously, Lin Xuan had no other choice. Now, after reading so many books, Lin Xuan planned to do his own experiments.
Coming to the Alchemy room, Lin Xuan used a Secret Art and spewed out the Flame of Earth Veins from the beast head.
He poured the purified Red Silk Grass green into the Cauldron, and Lin Xuan began the refinement.
This is a new medicine pill and there is no reference to draw on.
However, Lin Xuan is confident, because the books he read in the past few months have recorded that in Alchemy, the more raw materials, the harder it is to refine.
Take the Purifying Essence Pill as an example, there are nine kinds of main materials and dozens of accessories.
The ingredients of the pills in Foundation Establishment Stage are even more amazing.
This is why those medicine pills are extremely difficult to refine successfully.
Lin Xuan is only using a raw material of red stalk green liquor. Even if his technique is the worst, the possibility of failure is negligible.
What’s more, the Low-grade Red Silk Grass is not precious. Even if it fails a few times, he can go to Medicine Garden and replenish it. As the Sect Master’s disciple, this medicinal herb doesn’t cost much.
With this kind of psychology, Lin Xuan began to feel confident about Alchemy.
…
Perhaps it’s because of this mentality, he fully exerted his skills, and with only one kind of raw material, the refining was very simple.
After two hours, Lin Xuan opened the stove and smelled a fresh smell.
There was a hint of happiness on his face, and Lin Xuan lightly stroked his hand. Hundreds of green medicine pills flew over and all were packed into a bottle.
