Chapter 30: The Elixir of Gathering

The dark curtain on the horizon was as thick as inkstone, and the endless darkness was like an invisible big picture slowly covering every corner of Kyoto. At this time, Yanyang City has gradually returned to tranquility......

The night is quiet, and people are not sleeping. Dan Xuan sat quietly on the chair in the room, but his hands were still lazily behind his head, and the weight of his whole body was all leaning on the backrest. Dan Xuan's dark eyes stared indifferently at a reddish-brown Xiaoding on the table, following the candlelight of the three candles on the table that kept beating, and Xiaoding's shadow was also constantly moving.

This small tripod is the medicine tripod used by the pharmacist when refining medicine, for the alchemist, the medicine tripod is divided into heaven tripod, earth tripod and king tripod from good to bad, and Dan Xuan is now on the table is the so-called worst Wang Ding. But for refining pills below the fourth grade, the general Wang Ding is enough.

After a long time, the corners of Dan Xuan's lips suddenly hooked up a gentle line, as if he was facing an old friend who had been friends for many years.

"Alas......"

After a light sigh, Dan Xuan stood up suddenly, and with a movement of his mind, a large pile of medicinal materials in the ancient ring appeared on the table.

The dark eyes lightly swept over the medicinal herbs on the table, after confirming that there were no mistakes. Dan Xuan turned his gaze to this reddish-brown medicine pod again.

The candlelight was still beating slightly, and Dan Xuan's clean face was even fairer under the caress of the candlelight.

With a gentle sound of lifting qi, the phantom flashed, Dan Xuan's right hand gently lay down on the top of the medicine tripod, and a trace of white Xuan Qi slowly flowed out of the body along the complicated meridians of Dan Xuan's right arm, and a wisp of beating white flame suddenly appeared on the back of Dan Xuan's hand, slowly retracting his white right hand, leaving only the elf-like Xuantian True Flame churning above the medicine pod, and clusters of flames continued to roll upward, and then disappeared into the void......

Dan Xuan's eyes indifferently inspected the white flames, and then his right hand suddenly moved, leaving behind the remnants of the Dao, and all the medicinal herbs as many as six were quickly put into the medicine tripod by Dan Xuan, and at the same time, Dan Xuan's huge soul perception suddenly covered the medicine tripod. Immediately, all the medicinal materials in the medicine tripod slowly levitated, and the white flames in the medicine tripod were gradually divided into six small flames suspended under each medicinal herb. Looking at the medicinal herbs that were quietly suspended on top of the medicine pod, Dan Xuan slowly closed his eyes.

The six medicinal herbs slowly turned into six clusters of liquid of different colors under the burning of the flames below, and as the flames below the medicinal herbs slowly churned, the six clusters of liquid at this time were also constantly rotating in place.

The white flame silently scorched the liquid swirling above it, and the traces of impurities precipitated from the liquid were constantly dissipated into the void by the Xuantian True Flame. As the impurities in the six masses of liquid continue to precipitate and then dissipate, the volume of the liquid is also constantly decreasing.

Dan Xuan's huge spiritual power carefully controlled the refining operation of these flames, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly. Speaking of which, when refining the elixir, the refining of medicinal impurities is not the most difficult to control, but it is undoubtedly the most elaborate and patient. The refining of medicinal herbs is a very slow and time-consuming process. When refining medicinal materials, it is necessary to remove the impurities in the medicinal materials until the liquid medicine is only the size of a thumb cap. Moreover, the more high-level medicinal materials will take to refine them, and some extremely high-level medicinal materials will even take several days to refine them alone, which is extremely important for the patience and mental power of the pharmacist.

The white flame that tossed violently gave off a faint glow, completely overshadowing the light of the dancing candles on the table, and in front of the flames, the natural fire on the candles seemed to be as fragile as if it were on the verge of extinguishing.

As time slowly flowed, the liquid liquid above the flame gradually precipitated impurities, and then continued to shrink. Just when the six medicinal herbs shrank to the size of a thumb almost at the same time, Dan Xuan's closed eyes slowly opened, and all that leaked out of his deep pupils was indifference. Slowly sweeping the six masses of liquid suspended above the flames in turn, Dan Xuan suddenly moved his hands in unison, forming an intertwined magic seal, and then the surrounding aura slowly rotated as if it had received some kind of instruction, and it gradually formed a vortex of aura centered on the medicine tripod.

Dan Xuan's dark eyes looked indifferently at the slowly moving aura vortex, his hands suddenly moved again, and he changed his handprints again, and then, the swirling aura vortex suddenly stopped, and the six liquids that had been in place and the six flames churning below them actually slowly rotated, and gradually accelerated, and finally formed a fire wheel.

The white wheel of fire continued to rotate, and at the same time, the wheel of fire was gradually shrinking, and the six clusters of liquid were gradually approaching the center, and the six clusters of flames were also constantly approaching and merging.

"Six Fire Reincarnation ......"

After a while, the six masses of liquid finally came into contact with each other, and at the same time, the six flames gradually merged into one. The rotation stopped, and the last thing that appeared in front of Dan Xuan was a large cluster of bright white flames tumbling violently, and a large mass of liquid fused together was suspended above it.

Next is the fusion stage of the most exquisite pharmacist's soul perception, in the process of medicinal power fusion, the pharmacist has to control the liquid medicinal materials with different attributes and different temperatures to slowly fuse together. It is necessary to use soul perception to accurately control the gradual fusion of the liquid, and in the process, the temperature of the liquid must be gradually lowered to a lower temperature, and at this temperature, the liquid liquid will gradually shrink into an elixir.

The huge soul power carefully controlled the fusion of the medicinal power, and Dan Xuan's brows were also furrowed even tighter, and a pair of ancient well-like eyes couldn't stop staring at the gradually shrinking liquid. It was the first time for Dan Xuan to use the Xuantian True Flame to refine the pill, and it was somewhat rusty to control, so from the beginning of the refining to the present, Dan Xuan was cautious, for fear that he would accidentally make a mistake and cause his previous efforts to be wasted.

The flames kept churning, and the liquid gradually fused became smaller, and at the same time, the color gradually tended to white.

After a long time, the liquid medicine suspended above the flame had gradually turned into a white elixir with a blue glow all over it, and the elixir slowly rotated above the flame, the whole body was round and smooth, as if it had almost been successfully refined.

Dan Xuan controlled the pill to be quietly cultivated on the Xuanhuo for about a minute, and then with a move of his mind, the pure white pill flew out from the Xuanhuo and was grabbed by Dan Xuan.

Dan Xuan stared closely at his slowly opened palm, and a white pill glowing with blue light quietly lay in Dan Xuan's palm. This pill is the second-grade pill "Juling Pill" that Dan Xuan has just successfully refined. The effect of this elixir is that it can improve the cultivation of a Soul Gathering Realm of the Xuan Sect from two to four stars, but it is only limited to one time. In other words, a mystic person can only take one "Gathering Spirit Pill" in his life. And from the second one, the Gathering Spirit Pill will not have any effect on improving its strength. As for improving the cultivation of the Xuanzhi Star, it depends on the quality of the pill and the degree of compatibility with the Xuanzhi.

The dark eyes stared at the "Gathering Spirit Pill" in his hand, and Dan Xuan's eyes were filled with a rare touch of excitement. The corners of his lips hooked up an imperceptible arc, Dan Xuan really couldn't imagine that his Xuantian True Flame would have so many benefits. In the process of alchemy just now, Dan Xuan clearly felt that Xuantian True Flame had greatly helped him when refining medicinal materials and fusing medicinal liquids, greatly shortening the time for refining pills.

......

The candlelight on the table was still beating, and the pale yellow glow gently lay on Danxuan's fair face.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Dan Xuan cultivated quietly. The delicate face was indifferent, and the slowly floating chest left a gently moving shadow with the rhythm of the candlelight.

After a long time, Dan Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his mind moved, and a white pill with a blue light appeared in Dan Xuan's hand, which was the "Gathering Spirit Pill" that had just been refined.

Dan Xuan did not hesitate, as soon as the jade hand moved, the pill was swallowed by Dan Xuan. As soon as the pill was in his mouth, it turned into a large cloud of white Xuan Qi and transferred it to Dan Xuan's body along his mouth. Immediately after that, Dan Xuan felt a domineering energy appear in Dan Xuan's eight meridians, and this white Xuan Qi was also directionless in the meridians, stringing everywhere.

At the same time, a strong burning sensation came from Dan Xuan's eight veins. His teeth were clenched, and Dan Xuan frowned.

Dan Xuan's huge soul perception power quickly attached to the large mass of white Xuan Qi, and the white Xuan Qi gradually approached the dantian under the control of the soul perception.

The burning pain in the meridians became more and more intense, and a large amount of sweat had oozed from Dan Xuan's forehead, slowly sliding down his cheeks. The teeth were squeaked by Dan Xuan, and the eyebrows were also twisted up by Dan Xuan like rafters.

In this way, after enduring the intense burning pain for a long time, the large mass of white Xuan Qi in the meridians finally reached the Xuan Qi Sea in the dantian under the control of the soul perception.

Dan Xuan's powerful spiritual power controlled the Xuan Qi in the Xuan Qi Sea to wrap this large mass of white Xuan Qi, and then slowly refined it.

At this point, the burning pain in the meridians has disappeared. But Dan Xuan still couldn't take it lightly, and still carefully controlled the Xuan Qi in the Xuan Qi Sea, refining this large mass of Xuan Qi transformed by the "Gathering Spirit Pill". As the refining progressed, the momentum of the Xuanzhi on Dan Xuan's body was also gradually increasing.

This kind of refining lasted for about four or five hours, and when Dan Xuan opened his eyes, the sun was already shining at this time, and the bright sunlight poured in through the cracks in the window, and then slowly climbed up Dan Xuan's face.

"Six-star Gathering Spirit!, it has been upgraded to four stars!" Feeling the momentum on his body, the corners of Dan Xuan's lips squirmed, and a flash of surprise flashed in his clean eyes.
