The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 283: Refining the Foundation-Building Pill, the Taboos (Requesting Full Order)
It has been the second day since returning from the Zhuguo Secret Realm.

Li Qing went to visit a few old friends and found that most of them had moved away, and two of them died after failing in their attempt to build a foundation.

The few remaining people seemed a little reserved when they saw him. It was obvious that there was a sadly thick barrier between a foundation-building cultivator and a Qi-cultivating cultivator.

Li Qing left some gifts for them and returned to Liu He's residence.

Li Yu also came back from his outing. The two brothers did not bother Liu He. They ate some spiritual food in the yard and then went to rest.

The next morning, the light was dim.

Liu He came over and knocked on Li Qing's door: "Senior, my master asked me to come and invite you. He said he was preparing to refine the foundation-building pill."

Li Qing packed up and went to the alchemy room with him.

At this time, in addition to Liu He's disciples, there were four cultivators at the peak of Qi training waiting outside.

When they saw Li Qing, they hurriedly bowed to him, apparently having found out his identity.

Li Qing nodded slightly and stepped into the alchemy room first, followed by the others.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here? Please take a seat!" Liu He called Li Qing and asked him to sit on the cushion beside the alchemy furnace.

As for the others, they could only stand.

Liu He raised his head and said to the four people, "Have you brought all the materials? Present them!"

A tall man among the four people quickly took out a jade box: "Senior, there is a Xuanyang ginseng in here."

The beautiful middle-aged woman next to him quickly followed up: "I'll give you a Yin Lingzhi and some other auxiliary medicines."

The other two also presented the remaining alchemy materials.

Liu He ordered his disciple to take the spiritual material and carefully check it before handing it over: "Master, it is confirmed!"

Liu He counted them one by one and showed them to Li Qing: "Daoyou, what do you think of the quality of these spiritual materials?"

Li Qing swept his spiritual sense over the many spiritual materials and only took out the Xuanyang ginseng to examine it: "It is a treasure, but it is a pity. It will be among the kings of medicine in just two or three years."

Liu He sneered: "If he really becomes the Medicine King, it will definitely cause fluctuations in spiritual energy. They may not be able to capture or defend it!"

The so-called Medicine King has no fixed grade. It is a title given to a magical medicine that breaks through its innate shackles and achieves a higher grade.

Like the Xuan Yang Ginseng, it is originally a mid-grade second-level spiritual medicine, but if it can become the King of Medicine, it can easily become a top-grade second-level spiritual medicine, and there is even a possibility of becoming a lower-grade third-level spiritual medicine.

After checking the elixirs brought by several people, Liu He looked at the four people solemnly.

"It is not easy to refine the foundation-building pill. In addition to the main materials you prepared, there are also many second-level spiritual materials. In addition to the reward for asking me to refine the pill, you also need to make up 9,700 low-grade spiritual stones."

The four of them were well prepared and presented the prepared spirit stones.

Liu He nodded and pointed at the strong man and said, "Thanks to this Xuanyang ginseng, if we are lucky in this alchemy, we can produce five foundation-building pills. But it is also possible that the furnace will explode and not a single pill will be left."

"If there is a successful pill, he will be the first choice, this female cultivator will be the second choice, and you and you will be the third and fourth respectively. Is that ok?"

The four of them hurriedly said, "No problem. We have already discussed it and it is entirely up to you, Senior."

Liu He nodded and flicked his sleeves: "In that case, all of you can go out! The refining of the foundation-building pill involves secrets, and it is not something you can watch."

"This..." The two people at the back were somewhat reluctant.

Liu He sneered and said, "Are you afraid that I will embezzle your medicine?"

So the four of them were dragged out covered in dust by Liu He and other disciples.

Only Li Qing and Liu He were left in the alchemy room.

Liu He's true essence surged, and he opened the forbidden magic circle to block others from peeping, and then he took out a large pile of spiritual materials from the storage bag. Li Qing compared the pill formula given to him by the mysterious visitor Gu Changsheng and found that the overlap rate of spiritual materials was about 70%.

Among the top five main ingredients, there are three repeated ingredients: Xuanyang ginseng, Yin Ganoderma lucidum, and Xuanshui essence.

Li Qing hesitated and said, "Brother Dao, is it okay for you to show me the recipe?"

Liu He smiled and shook his head: "For the Foundation Establishment Pill, the recipe is only secondary, the method of refining the pill is the key."

"With your attainments in alchemy at the second-level intermediate level, you are already qualified to access the formula for the foundation-building pill, but you just don't have the channel."

"As for the refining method, I will use a special method to conceal it. Just take a look at it and have an impression in your mind."

Li Qing nodded slightly: "Then I will wait and see."

Last time he asked Liu He to refine the elixir, he could only wait outside just like the four people just now. Today was the first time he watched the refining of the foundation-building elixir.

Most of the spiritual materials used for alchemy have been prepared, but a few of them need to be soaked in spiritual water on the spot.

Liu He is an alchemist with wood and fire spiritual roots. He does not have water spiritual roots and does not have access to spiritual water, so he uses ordinary spiritual water exchanged with others.

Li Qing saw that the Xuanyang ginseng was the only thing that needed to be soaked, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "Brother Dao, I have a lamp of Ganlin here, why don't you replace it?"

Liu He raised his eyes and said, "The spiritual stones I collected do not include Gan Lin's expenses. It is estimated that it will not work if I ask them to replenish the spiritual stones."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Just consider it as my reward for watching you make the elixir."

Liu He was not polite. He took the cup of sweet rain and soaked the Xuanyang ginseng in it.

After all this preparation, he threw his own spiritual fire into the furnace and began to preheat it.

Li Qing stared intently, watching him throw the Xuan Yang ginseng and Yin Lingzhi into the furnace first.

With a "clang" sound, the furnace mouth closed tightly. Liu He made a set of hand gestures, but it was not to cast a spell. Instead, it activated the restrictions that had been arranged in the furnace in advance.

Li Qing couldn't help but laugh: "This first step involves relevant secrets?"

Liu He nodded helplessly: "There is a restriction inside, involving the transformation of yin and yang of drugs, which is forbidden to be spread outside by Xuan Palace."

Li Qing said "Oh" to indicate that he understood: the first step is the transformation of yin and yang.

Liu He smiled, knowing that he understood his hint.

Soon, the spiritual fire in the furnace changed from strong to warm, and then from warm to strong, repeating this change nine times.

Li Qing's spiritual sense was firmly locked onto the alchemy furnace. Although he did not penetrate into it to confront the restrictions, he also kept the changes in the temperature in mind.

Soon, Liu He slapped the alchemy furnace, and the cover flew up. The two main ingredients in it had turned into a handful of light yellow powder.

A faint ginseng fragrance wafts out from it, making people feel restless when they smell it.

Liu He said softly: "The quality of this Xuanyang Ginseng is too high, and it has covered up the medicinal properties of the Yin Lingzhi. It needs to be blended."

As he said that, he took out a powder of an unknown elixir from his storage bag and threw it in to mix with the ginseng and sesame powders.

Li Qing did not examine the powder carefully, but secretly noted the second step: harmonizing yin and yang.

Liu He smiled, then slowly poured in the essence of the mysterious water, and also threw a dozen spiritual materials with different functions into the furnace.

The essence of the mysterious water wrapped all the spiritual materials, forming a special shape, which was suspended below the ginseng and sesame powder.

With a clang, the top cover closed again, and some kind of restriction in the furnace started to operate slowly.

Liu He performed some alchemy techniques and began to control various restrictions to refine the spiritual materials.
