The third volume is named Cangyu Chapter 244 Wanlian Ding
Li Xuanfeng has now entered the state of fasting. He does not need to rely on eating to absorb energy. As long as his cultivation is running, he will continue to absorb spiritual power and will not feel hungry at all.
The reason why Li Xuanfeng came to this inn to drink and eat with Lin Jiu was that he missed the life in the mortal world. He had not enjoyed the fine wine and delicacies of the mortal world for many years.
Although I ate every day in my reincarnation in the secret realm of reincarnation, that was only in a dream. Although it was extremely real, it seemed unreal.
After returning to the room, Li Xuanfeng sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced for a while, then took out the purple gold furnace and began to refine the elixir.
Li Xuanfeng first refined a few spiritual elixirs for healing and recovery, and then began to refine his real goal this time—Ningying Pill!
The purpose of refining the Ningying Pill is to prepare for breaking through the Lingying realm!
The Ningying Pill is almost a must-have pill for Lingdan Realm cultivators to break through to the Lingying Realm. It not only increases the chance of breakthrough, but also makes one's Lingying more stable and powerful!
When breaking through from the Lingdan realm to the Lingying realm, a large amount of spiritual power will be consumed due to the breakthrough, causing the Lingying to be relatively weak when it is condensed, and it will take a lot of practice to be completely stable.
Although this matter is closely related to each person's foundation of cultivation, the presence of the Infant Condensation Pill will greatly reduce the weakness of the Spirit Infant when it is condensed. If the foundation of cultivation is strong enough, there is no need to spend time stabilizing the Spirit Infant after breaking through the Spirit Infant realm!
Although there was a Ningying Pill among the three kinds of pills that Shen Luoyan gave him, Li Xuanfeng had already carefully examined it and found that it was just a higher-quality, top-grade Ningying Pill and did not reach perfect quality.
The quality of that pill has surpassed ordinary high-quality ones, and is even approaching perfect quality, but it is still far from perfect quality and is not enough to satisfy Li Xuanfeng!
Li Xuanfeng hadn't refined pills for a long time, but he was not unfamiliar with it. The various steps of refining the pills were still smooth as usual, without any sense of stagnation.
Carefully extract the essence from the herbal materials, put them into the alchemy furnace according to the standards of the pill recipe, and use the spiritual power and spiritual fire to precisely control the essence of the herbs to melt them together and condense them into pills!
Although it was the first time that Li Xuanfeng refined the Ningying Pill, there was no terrible failure. The furnace did not explode or the essence of the herbs burned to charcoal. However, at the beginning, he only refined low-quality pills.
Li Xuanfeng hadn't made pills for a long time, but not only did he not become rusty at it, his pill-making skills seemed to have improved slightly!
This is Li Xuanfeng’s powerful aptitude for alchemy!
Li Xuanfeng didn't care much about the inferior-grade Nengying Pill he had refined. He checked it carefully, learned the shortcomings in the refining, and then casually threw it into a pill plate!
If other cultivators in the Spiritual Pill Realm saw this scene, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood. You know, the value of the Ningying Pill is extremely high. Even a low-grade Ningying Pill is something that many people desire very much.
There are very few alchemists like Li Xuanfeng who can directly refine low-grade Nengying Pill on their first try. Other alchemists can only succeed after countless failures.
But after a whole night, Li Xuanfeng only refined it three times and was extremely disappointed with the results. He could only barely refine a mid-grade Ningying Pill on the last try, which was still a long way from a top-grade Ningying Pill!
However, this is also within common sense. The gap between the Spiritual Pill Realm and the Spiritual Infant Realm is no longer comparable to the previous realms. The difficulty of refining pills across realms has increased several times. If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual power in Li Xuanfeng's body was as strong as that in the Spiritual Infant Realm, he probably wouldn't be able to refine even the middle-grade Ningying Pill!
At this time, Li Xuanfeng had already discovered many shortcomings in his refining process, among which spiritual power was a big problem. Even with the amount of spiritual power in his body, after refining three times of Condensing Infant Pills, it was actually exhausted!
The spiritual power required to refine the Ningying Pill is extremely terrifying. The fact that Li Xuanfeng was able to refine it three times in a row can prove that the spiritual power in his body is extremely strong!
The Ningying Pill is a fourth-level pill. Other alchemists are already strong people in the Lingying realm and can mobilize the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth to join in the refining process!
Even so, it is impossible to refine it many times in a row!
However, Li Xuanfeng completely relied on the spiritual power in his body to refine the Infant Condensation Pill. Moreover, he had only reached the perfect level of the Spiritual Pill Realm, but he was able to refine the Infant Condensation Pill three times. I'm afraid no one would believe it if he told others about it!
After refining it three times, Li Xuanfeng had to stop temporarily, sit cross-legged and start to recover his spiritual power. In order to speed up, Li Xuanfeng even took out a pill to recover his spiritual power and ate it.
It was not until the morning that Li Xuanfeng completely recovered his spiritual power and walked out of the room.
Lin Jiu had also woken up at this time. When he saw Li Xuanfeng, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Little friend Li."
"Senior Lin." Li Xuanfeng smiled and bowed. After yesterday's conversation, he already regarded Lin Jiu as a friend. Although he was not an extremely important close friend, he was also the first friend he made after coming to Cangyu Continent.
"Where are you going today? I will lead the way for you. Just pay me the spiritual stones for yesterday. I will not raise the price."
Lin Jiu was no longer drunk at this time. He immediately came forward and asked with a smile on his face.
Li Xuanfeng rolled his eyes after hearing this. He gave him 10,000 spirit stones yesterday. If this continued every day, even with Li Xuanfeng's considerable assets, it would be used up in less than two or three months!
"I'm going to refine pills in my room today." Li Xuanfeng replied calmly.
"Qize City is so big, how could you do such a boring thing?" Lin Jiu asked in disbelief, his face full of disappointment.
Hearing Lin Jiu's words, Li Xuanfeng complained in his heart: If you didn't want to make money from my spirit stones, you probably wouldn't care what I do.
Li Xuanfeng ignored Lin Jiu and walked directly out of the inn. When passing by the inn counter, he paid the spirit stones for his stay.
"Little friend Li, please help me pay it since I'm so pitiful." Lin Jiu came closer again and said shamelessly.
Li Xuanfeng just glanced at him indifferently, paid for his room, and walked out of the inn directly.
Lin Jiu muttered in the back: "Rich people are so stingy!"
But he still didn't give up. After muttering, he hurriedly paid the room fee and caught up with Li Xuanfeng again.
"Senior Lin, I don't need you to lead the way today, and I won't give you spirit stones as payment. You'd better not follow me, so as not to waste your precious time." Seeing Lin Jiu following him again, Li Xuanfeng had no choice but to say this to him, intending to interrupt his following.
Yesterday, he had already bought the jade slip of the map, so he only needed to follow the map and did not need Lin Jiu to lead the way.
"It sounds like I'm just a person who is able to see the magic stone." Hearing Li Xuanfeng say this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but complain.
"Isn't it?" Li Xuanfeng asked lightly.
"Of course not. I am a loyal man who would go through fire and water for my friends." Lin Jiu explained, patting his chest to assure him.
Li Xuanfeng was speechless and was too lazy to refute him at this moment. With Lin Jiu's thick skin, Li Xuanfeng admitted that he could not beat him in the argument.
Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng walked straight to the center of Qize City. Lin Jiu followed him all the time and chatted with him from time to time.
"Little friend Li, you've even checked out of the inn, where are you going?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Seeing that Li Xuanfeng was unwilling to say, Lin Jiu had no choice but to stop asking and continued to follow Li Xuanfeng towards the center of Qize City.
"Senior Lin, what do you think of my explanation of the word 'crazy' yesterday?" Li Xuanfeng remembered that Lin Jiu was drunk last night, so in case he had not heard it, Li Xuanfeng asked this question.
"The explanation is very good. This is the first time I've heard someone understand it so thoroughly." Lin Jiu praised Li Xuanfeng and even gave him a thumbs up.
Li Xuanfeng felt relieved after hearing Lin Jiu's words. As for whether Lin Jiu could listen to him and change his attitude towards cultivation, it depended on his own luck.
After an incense stick of time, Li Xuanfeng and Lin Jiu arrived at the central city of Qize City and stopped in front of a tripod-shaped building.
This central city is not small, with an area of several thousand feet. This tripod-shaped building is just one of the buildings here.
This tripod-shaped building is extremely peculiar. From the outside, it looks like a huge green alchemy cauldron. High temperatures are constantly radiating from it, and even the spiritual energy around the cauldron seems to be steaming!
This tripod is nearly a hundred feet high and occupies an area of several hundred feet. Compared with the appearance of an ordinary alchemy tripod, it looks a bit bloated.
Moreover, the alchemy cauldron did not show its feet, only the cauldron body was above the ground, as if someone had inserted it directly into the ground with great force and fixed it there.
"Wanlian Ding?" Lin Jiu murmured in surprise. This cauldron is a unique building in Qize City and is a great place for refining pills.
The Wanlian Ding can continuously draw spiritual power from the outside world, making the spiritual power inside the ding extremely sufficient. Also, over the long years, countless elixirs have been refined , producing a rich aroma of herbs and elixirs.
Because of the peculiarity of the Wanlian Ding, refining and improving elixirs in it can increase the success rate, which makes countless alchemists flock to this place!
There are four layers in the Wanlian Ding, but actually there are five layers, plus the top layer on the top of the cauldron, which is exposed to the outside world. That is where alchemists above the Spirit God Realm refine pills!
From the first to the fourth floor, they correspond to the level from second-level alchemists to fifth-level alchemists, and the fifth floor above the alchemy cauldron is the exclusive area for alchemists above level six!
The strength of the Cangyu Continent is not comparable to that of the Tongling Continent. In this continent, there are real strong people in the second realm, and it seems that they are not just ordinary second realm people. It is not surprising that there are alchemists above the sixth level!
Although there are very few alchemists above level six who come here to refine pills, it has happened about ten times. Each time it causes a sensation in the whole city, and countless people look up at the Wanlian Ding!
Even the rich fragrance emitted by the sixth-level elixir when it condenses can make everyone in the process feel the extremely rich spiritual power. There are even people whose cultivation has reached a critical point and can directly break through their cultivation!
It can be said that if an alchemist appears on the top of the Wanlian Cauldron, it will be a major event in Qize City!
"Little friend Li, are you planning to refine pills here?" Lin Jiu asked.
"Yes." Li Xuanfeng stared at Wanlian Ding, a hint of expectation appearing in his eyes.
“I know that you want to refine elixirs for the Spirit Infant Realm, but in fact the Wanlian Ding is not the best place.” Lin Jiu suddenly spoke, and paused to leave Li Xuanfeng in suspense.
"Where else?" Li Xuanfeng asked immediately. He was extremely looking forward to the Ningying Pill and was determined to obtain it. He had to refine a Ningying Pill of perfect quality before breaking through the Lingying realm.
But Lin Jiu did not answer him. Instead, he smiled and rubbed his hands continuously, looking like a smug villain.
When Li Xuanfeng saw his look, he instantly knew what he was thinking. He took out another 10,000 spirit stones and threw them to him. Lin Jiu immediately took them with satisfaction, looked at them carefully, and countless lights bloomed in his eyes.
Seeing that Lin Jiu seemed to be immersed in the spirit stone, Li Xuanfeng snatched the storage bag from his hand and shouted directly: "Hurry up and tell me."
"Give me the spirit stones first, and I will tell you naturally." Lin Jiu woke up instantly after his storage bag was snatched away by Li Xuanfeng, and shouted in a slightly panicked tone.
"If the place you suggest does not satisfy me, I will take back the spirit stones." Li Xuanfeng threw the storage bag to him again and said unhappily.
