Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 188 First Alchemy
Ye Xuan walked in the dense forest, and from time to time, rays of light flashed across the sky.

These escaping lights are both powerful and evil.

He was suspicious and looked up at the night sky, thinking deeply, "It seems that tonight is an extremely turbulent night. I wonder how the battle between Xuan Yue and Wu Jie went?"

Ye Xuan came to a mountain wall, used a big sword to dig out a hole, crawled into it, and then sealed the hole.

We will spend the night here tonight to avoid the evil cult's attention. We will set off tomorrow morning and return to the Ye family in the afternoon.

In the dark cave, Ye Xuan's mind moved, and a small tripod appeared in his hand, emitting a faint light that lit up the cave.

It is the Sky-supporting Cauldron.

"Qiu Qianguang's alchemy book records that the higher the level of fire, the harder it is to control. The greater the danger. If you are not careful, it will cause a fire. However, the more powerful the fire, the more likely it is to produce high-quality pills. If you are a beginner, you should not take risks, so as to avoid tragedy."

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan released the two kinds of spiritual fire from the Zhutian Ding and floated them in front of him.

"Then choose 'Yin Sha Flame'. This type of fire is relatively mild and easy to control. It is not very powerful. It is most suitable for beginners."

Ye Xuan took out a book on low-level alchemy and a pile of alchemy materials.

He killed Yi Chen, the ancestor of the Yi family, and other True Spirit Realm warriors, as well as Chun Gang and other disciples of the Demon Sect, and plundered a large amount of low-level alchemy materials.

It is imperative to learn alchemy. Just think about it, if he knew how to make alchemy and could have made the Ren Yuan Jin Dan a few days ago, how could he have had such a thing with Mu Fanglan.

Being used as a cauldron is extremely painful. It damages the source of energy. One mistake will have consequences on the future path of martial arts. Moreover, Mu Fanglan is still innocent, so it will be a big blow to her body and mind.

Even though the woman didn't say it, she tried her best to make Ye Xuan feel wonderful and happy.

……

An hour later.

Ye Xuan sat in front of the half-zhang-high Heaven Supporting Cauldron, staring blankly at a gray-black pill inside the Heaven Supporting Cauldron.

'Qi Condensation Pill, a first-grade elixir, is helpful for Qi Condensation Realm warriors.'

"I spent so many resources and worked hard for an hour to finally make a pill. Ahem, but can it really be eaten?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew that everything is difficult at the beginning, not to mention that he had no master to teach him and had to rely entirely on trial and error. But in just one hour, he had destroyed no less than three hundred medicinal materials before he was able to refine this lowest-level pill that smelled burnt.

At the very least, Ye Xuan would never take this pill. The Rejuvenating Pill that Guan Xiong took would at most stop Guan Xiong's martial arts progress, but the one he made could be fatal if taken.

"I possess the Heaven Supporting Cauldron, a supreme treasure cauldron that can be used for both alchemy and refining tools, and I also have the 'Yin Sha Flame', a spiritual flame with a relatively mild nature. I don't believe that I will be stumped by a pill!"

Ye Xuan would not give up. He was a person who would become more courageous after more setbacks. And the spirit of the Sky-supporting Cauldron was his greatest support for alchemy.

Ye Xuan thought about the problems he had encountered while refining the elixir before, as well as some precautions.

After a moment, Ye Xuan's face once again showed a confident smile. He took out a large pile of alchemy materials from the ring and concentrated on making the alchemy.

If some alchemists or warriors saw Ye Xuan refining pills like this, they would definitely be heartbroken. This is simply a waste and a waste of money. The materials he wasted in one hour of refining alone are enough to support the expenses of all the disciples of a small family for a generation.

But Ye Xuan is now rich, and his wealth was plundered from others, so he doesn't feel sorry at all.

half an hour
an hour

……

I don't know how much time has passed. Ye Xuan felt that his energy was almost exhausted. There were more than 30 Qi Condensation Pills of various colors and sizes around him.

But Ye Xuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. After so many failures, he finally became more and more proficient in refining the first-grade Qi Condensation Pill. The pills he refined also looked good. The quality of the pills was also gradually improving. The white pill he refined recently was close to the level of a finished product.

Of course. In Ye Xuan's eyes, this is still a waste pill...

After half a stick of incense.

Ye Xuan, sweating all over, threw a pill he had just refined into the pile of pills he had refined previously.

"What is going on? Could it be that there is something wrong with my refining method? The strength of the Tian Ding is enough to make me understand the art of alchemy far more than others, but why..."

Ye Xuan immediately rejected his idea. He followed the steps of the "Refining Method" in Qiu Qianguang's Dan Dao Grand Canon when refining. This can maximize the quality of the pill. After so many times of practice, it is impossible to make mistakes.

"The energy in my body should be enough to refine the elixir once."

Ye Xuan sighed and picked up the last batch of materials for the Qi Condensation Pill. He said to himself while looking at the spiritual herbs. "It's up to you."

After saying that, he threw one of the spiritual herbs into the Sky Supporting Cauldron. This time, he put his mind at ease while refining the spirit herbs. He no longer considered success or failure and became more relaxed.

This mentality made him devote himself to it, with only the Sky-Supporting Cauldron in his eyes. In a trance, he seemed to have entered a wonderful realm. It was as if the world was in chaos, and there was nothing else except the Sky-Supporting Cauldron. He couldn't even feel his own existence.

Ye Xuan didn't know that at this moment, he was gradually entering the most rare state of selflessness for a cultivator.

Each spiritual herb gradually turned into juice in the Sky-supporting Cauldron. Slowly, some impurities seeped out of the juice and were immediately refined by the high temperature. The juice became more and more pure, and its volume gradually shrank.

After an unknown amount of time, when the volume of the juice shrank to only one tenth of its original size, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his hands fluttered like butterflies. Seals jumped out from his fingertips one after another and hit the Sky Supporting Cauldron.

The Sky-Supporting Cauldron shone brightly, and the translucent body of the cauldron gradually turned fiery red. The heat emitted made it almost impossible for Ye Xuan to open his eyes.

When Ye Xuan cast the last seal into the cauldron, the Sky-supporting Cauldron trembled violently and emitted a slight humming sound. In an instant, everything fell silent...

Ye Xuan had used up all his energy at this point. He fell to the ground, gasping loudly, and suddenly came out of his trance.

Without Ye Xuan's control, the Sky-Supporting Cauldron dissipated and entered Ye Xuan's mind.

However, a crystal clear white pill fell on Ye Xuan's face. He stretched out his weak right hand, picked it up and exclaimed: "Flawless pill!"

The flawless elixir does not contain a trace of harmful impurities and is extremely gentle!
