The third volume is named Cangyu Chapter 245: Still a little short!
"Wendao Sect!"
Lin Jiu said the name of a sect, and a hint of strong expectation appeared in his eyes, as if he was extremely eager to join this sect.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed after hearing this. In the memories of the young man and woman, Dao Sect was well-known. It was also marked very conspicuously in the map jade slip, like a shining star in the dark night!
Wendao Sect, one of the three most powerful sects in Cangyu Continent!
The Wendao Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, as well as a large number of elders, a powerful sect master, and even a great elder whose cultivation is among the strongest in the Cangyu Continent!
Unlike the sects in the Spiritual Continent, in the Cangyu Continent, those who are qualified to become elders are all powerful people who have reached the Spirit God Realm!
Only when one’s cultivation reaches the spiritual god realm can one be qualified to become an elder!
"Senior Lin, it's not easy to enter the Wendao Sect you mentioned." Li Xuanfeng said with a hint of helplessness.
“Of course I know it’s not easy to get in, but I believe that with young friend Li’s qualifications, it should be possible.” Lin Jiu said immediately, and then went on to praise Li Xuanfeng a few more words.
Although the three sects were equally powerful at this time, over the past thousand years, the Wendao Sect has continued to grow stronger and stronger, and is showing a trend of becoming the leader of the three major sects!
As far as Li Xuanfeng knows, to join the Wendao Sect, in addition to their active going down the mountain to select children with extremely strong qualifications to recruit as disciples, one can also break through the trial formation outside the Wendao Sect at any time. As long as one successfully passes the third level of the formation, he can become a disciple of the Wendao Sect!
However, this formation is extremely dangerous. If you are not strong enough, there is a high probability that you will be trapped in the formation forever!
"You may not know that in the Wendao Sect, not only is the spiritual power extremely rich, which can increase the speed of cultivation several times, but there is also a controllable spirit gathering formation. Within the formation, you can mobilize spiritual power almost like a Spirit Infant cultivator! If you want to refine elixirs for the Spirit Infant realm, it is most appropriate to go to the Wendao Sect." Lin Jiu then added.
"Well, the information you gave me is of some use." Li Xuanfeng said helplessly, and did not snatch the storage bag containing 10,000 spirit stones.
When Lin Jiu saw that he had obtained the spirit stone, he immediately smiled happily, but he unexpectedly discovered that Li Xuanfeng was walking towards the Wanlian Cauldron at this time.
"Little friend Li, why are you still going to Wanlian Ding? Hurry up and pass the trial and join the Wendao Sect." Lin Jiu shouted in surprise.
At this time, people nearby also heard his shouting. Many people looked at him in surprise, muttering in their hearts: Can anyone join the Wendao Sect if they want to? You know, only one in a million can pass the trial and join the Wendao Sect!
"It's not easy to join the Wendao Sect. Let's talk about it later." Li Xuanfeng replied without stopping, and soon he was close to the Wanlian Cauldron.
Not far from the Wanlian Ding, there is an exquisite courtyard of neither large nor small. This is where the Wanlian Ding is used to receive alchemists.
In the courtyard, there are four small teleportation arrays, each guarded by a dedicated person, used to teleport to various levels within the cauldron.
There are a total of four people guarding the formation, ranging from young to middle-aged, and their cultivation aura is gradually getting stronger. It is obvious that the cultivation level of the people guarding each teleportation formation is different, which represents Wan Lianding's full respect for alchemists of all levels.
With Li Xuanfeng's powerful spiritual awareness, he was able to clearly distinguish the cultivation levels of three of them, which were the Spiritual Foundation Realm, Spiritual Pill Realm and Spiritual Infant Realm. Although he could not sense the cultivation level of the fourth person, with Li Xuanfeng's knowledge, he could roughly tell that he was in the early stage of the Spiritual God Realm.
Based on the cultivation level of the four people, it is possible to determine which level of the Wanlian Ding the formation they are guarding is used to teleport to.
In addition to the four people, there was a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed not far away, seemingly practicing. This man was as thin as a stick and looked extremely weak, but the dangerous aura emerging in Li Xuanfeng's heart was the strongest!
There was an imperceptible flash of solemnity in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. In his opinion, this person was comparable to his master Shen Hua, and was probably at the pinnacle of the Spirit God Realm!
"Excuse me, fellow Daoist, which level of the Wanlian Ding are you going to enter?" After Li Xuanfeng came closer, a young man among the four people asked him.
"The third floor." Li Xuanfeng replied indifferently.
"The third floor? Fellow Daoist, you don't know that the third floor is generally used by fourth-level alchemists. A third-level alchemist cannot fully exert its effectiveness when entering."
One of the young men sensed Li Xuanfeng's cultivation level and explained in a kind smile.
Several other people also gave affirmative looks. The strength of each layer of the Wanlian Ding's efficacy varied, so it was divided into layers, suitable for alchemists of different levels to enter and refine pills.
However, Li Xuanfeng had only reached the perfect level of Spiritual Pill Realm. In their opinion, he was at most a third-level alchemist.
It is not surprising to be a level three alchemist at the Spiritual Foundation Realm, but it is extremely rare to be a level four alchemist at the Spiritual Pill Realm, and it can even be said that there are very few of them.
The hurdle for alchemists to go from level three to level four is quite large. The spiritual power required to refine level four pills far exceeds that of level three. The spiritual power in the bodies of ordinary spiritual pill realm cultivators is simply not enough to support it !
Even a fourth-level alchemist who has reached the Spirit Infant Realm needs to mobilize the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth to refine fourth-level pills. Otherwise, the spiritual power in the body will be completely consumed after two or three refinings.
Li Xuanfeng knew that they had good intentions, but since he had just arrived at Cangyu Continent, he didn't want to expose his identity too much, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I still have a lot of spirit stones, I just want to see the third level of your Wanlian Ding."
The four of them looked at Li Xuanfeng helplessly. His reason instantly made it impossible for them to refute, so they had to let him make his choice.
"To enter the third level of Wanlian Ding, you need 10,000 spirit stones a day. How many days do you need?" The young man who had just explained to Li Xuanfeng continued.
"Three days." Li Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and answered.
Ten thousand spirit stones a day, even Li Xuanfeng felt a little distressed, but since he was already here, he still had to go in and try out the effect of the Wanlian Ding.
Li Xuanfeng took out 30,000 spirit stones from his storage ring, put them in a storage bag and handed them to the young man, who nodded slightly.
Then, a middle-aged man among the four immediately took out a token, made a hand gesture and pressed his palm directly on the token. A flashing mark instantly appeared on the token, and a moment later, another mark appeared next to this mark!
The second mark was not cast by this middle-aged man, but by the person inside the Wanlian Ding!
In order to open the teleportation array to enter Wanlian Ding, this mark needs to be made from both the outside and the inside at the same time. This is to prevent anyone from invading Wanlian Ding and robbing the alchemist inside!
As for the outside of Wanlian Ding, Qize City had never prepared any defense at all because there was nothing to worry about!
There was once a strong man in the second realm of Xuan who tried it, but even if he tried his best, he could not do anything to the Wanlian Ding!
At that time, the strong man concluded that this cauldron might be an abandoned cauldron by an ancient strong man, and it could no longer be used to refine pills. However, this cauldron was extremely strange. It had its own space inside and created an environment that was conducive to refining pills, making it an ideal place for alchemists to refine pills.
It is precisely because of this that Qize City did not set up any defenses outside the Wanlian Ding, because there was no need at all!
Unless one has extremely terrifying cultivation, it is impossible to open the Wanlian Ding from the outside. And if such a strong person really appears, even if there are protections it will be useless because one is not qualified to stop him!
Just as the two marks on the token flashed at the same time, the teleportation array next to the middle-aged man suddenly burst into a strong light, and the teleportation array was activated!
The middle-aged man bowed and stretched out his hand to Li Xuanfeng, making a gesture of invitation. Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly and walked into the teleportation array calmly.
As the light of the teleportation array shone again, Li Xuanfeng's figure instantly disappeared into the teleportation array!
In the shining transmission light , Li Xuanfeng's vision became blurred. When he could see clearly again, he had appeared in a dark red space!
This place is the interior of the Wanlian Cauldron!
This place is more than the hundreds of feet seen from the outside. Li Xuanfeng roughly estimated that the area inside is several thousand feet!
The interior of the Wanlian Ding seemed to be a space of its own. It was precisely because of this that the Wanlian Ding attracted the attention of the ancestors of Qize City at that time, and was moved to the city with great magical powers!
When Li Xuanfeng just appeared in the Wanlian Cauldron, a woman's voice came from beside him: "Master, welcome to the fourth floor of the Wanlian Cauldron."
Li Xuanfeng turned around and saw a gentle woman standing next to the teleportation array, bowing and speaking.
Then Li Xuanfeng stepped out of the teleportation array and stepped onto the ground of Wanlian Ding. He immediately felt a heat wave coming from the ground.
Not only that, Li Xuanfeng also smelled a refreshing medicinal fragrance in the air, and he discovered that this medicinal fragrance was not emitted by anything, but was contained in the spiritual power of this place!
The gentle woman also looked at Li Xuanfeng. When she realized that he had only reached the perfect level of Lingdan Realm, she was a little surprised, but did not say it out loud.
"Master, this is your token. Three days' time is recorded in it. If you need to extend the time, you can use the token to convey the message to me." The woman spoke in a gentle voice.
"As for the alchemy rooms, as long as they are open, there will be no one inside. You can choose any one you like."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly, clasped his fists and bowed, then looked around for a moment and found an alchemy room to enter.
Inside the Wanlian Ding, the alchemy room is separated independently. This is a modification of the Wanlian Ding made by the ancestors of Qize City, not its original structure.
After entering the alchemy room, Li Xuanfeng felt it for a while and found that the spiritual heat wave inside the alchemy room was stronger than what he felt when he just entered the third floor.
Li Xuanfeng took out the purple gold furnace and refining materials from the storage ring and began to refine the Infant Condensation Pill.
When refining the elixir, Li Xuanfeng truly realized the difference of this place. The medicinal fragrance and spiritual power here are not only warm, but also have unique effects. They can make the elixir easier to take shape and even slightly improve the quality of the elixir!
Not only that, the concentration of spiritual power in the Wanlian Ding is far greater than that in the outside world, which greatly increases Li Xuanfeng's speed of absorbing spiritual power. He can also absorb spiritual power to replenish consumption while refining.
Realizing this, a hint of strong anticipation emerged in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. He wondered if he could refine a Ningying Pill of perfect quality in this Wanlian Ding?
Thinking of this, Li Xuanfeng calmed his mind and began to refine continuously.
With his strong will, the boring refining process did not bother him at all, and the gleam in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
“Bang!”
Just when Li Xuanfeng was finishing refining the first batch of pills, a muffled roar suddenly came from the purple gold furnace, and the furnace exploded!
Li Xuanfeng could only give a helpless smile. This was due to the warmth of the spiritual energy in the Wanlian Ding. Because he had not yet fully adapted to it, the temperature control was unstable during refining, causing the furnace to explode.
After cleaning up the mess from the exploded furnace, Li Xuanfeng closed his eyes and pondered for a while before starting the second refining.
Li Xuanfeng quickly mastered the rules of this difference caused by external influences. The second time of refining went much more smoothly. Not only did the furnace not explode, but he also successfully refined a mid-grade Ningying Pill.
Although it is still a mid-grade Ningying Pill, the quality of this pill is already higher than the pills refined outside the Wanlian Ding, and is beginning to approach the top grade!
After putting away the Infant Condensation Pill, Li Xuanfeng pondered for a while again, summarizing his experience in refining, and then started refining again!
In this way, Li Xuanfeng continued to refine. In the rich spiritual power of Wanlian Ding, he could refine four times before recovering his spiritual power, saving a lot of time.
Three days passed in a flash as he refined the ingredients and summarized his experience, but the result still failed to satisfy Li Xuanfeng!
On the second day, Li Xuanfeng had successfully refined the top-grade Ningying Pill, but he did not expect to make much progress in the remaining time!
In the following time, Li Xuanfeng's refining skills only improved slightly, and the products he produced were still only top-grade Ningying Pills, which were still a long way from perfect quality!
"It's still a little short!" Three days later, Li Xuanfeng stopped refining, frowned and muttered!
At this time, he had already discovered that although the quality of the pills he refined was improved with the help of the Wanlian Ding, due to his insufficient cultivation, it was still far from the perfect quality of the Ningying Pill!
Unless Li Xuanfeng's cultivation breaks through the Spirit Infant Realm, but if his cultivation enters the Spirit Infant Realm, he will no longer need to refine the perfect Condensing Infant Pill!
Or he could find a way to refine something better than the Wanlian Ding!
