Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 445 Guidance on Alchemy (Seeking Subscriptions)

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. It's just a furnace exploding, what's the big deal!"

Mu Ling'er said dismissively.

Shen Xuan stopped trying to persuade him.

Following Mu Ling'er, and led by one of Zheng Danshi's old servants, they silently entered the cave.

"Little Ling'er, what good news do you have for me?"

Zheng Danshi's mood wasn't too bad.

He even managed to make jokes when he saw Mu Ling'er.

It seems that the explosion of the alchemy furnace was a trivial matter for him.

"I'd like to invite you to the Lion King Island Trade Fair."

"Oh, I also received an invitation, then let's go together."

"Illustrator Zheng said calmly."

"But Master Shen isn't going!"

Behind the veil, Mu Ling'er was pouting.

Shen Xuan saw it clearly and was somewhat taken aback.

I already said I wasn't going, why are you bringing this up again?

I didn't receive an invitation.

Left with no other choice, Shen Xuan forced himself to come up with an excuse.

"Let him be. Ling'er, you shouldn't force others to do anything."

"That's what Master Zheng said."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan found Master Zheng Dan much more agreeable.

"Master Zheng, as I mentioned before, I would like to ask you to appraise the Frost Talisman after I have made it."

After speaking, Shen Xuan presented three ordinary ice talismans with both hands.

"Wow, you really made it?"

Zheng Danshi was taken aback.

The Frost Talisman is a second-tier, low-grade talisman.

However, it is of the ice attribute.

It is much more difficult than the water-attribute water gun talisman and water arrow talisman.

The power should also be 20-30% greater.

Zheng Danshi thought Shen Xuan was just bragging.

It's been less than six months, and it's actually been made!

"Let me see!"

Master Zheng observed for a long time.

"Excellent! The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Master Shen couldn't help but praise.

Return the Frost Talisman to Shen Xuan.

"Master Zheng, this is a gift from me. One shouldn't arrive empty-handed as a guest!"

After speaking, Shen Xuan glanced at Mu Ling'er, seemingly unintentionally.

"Master Shen, what kind of look is that?!"

Mu Ling'er said angrily, "I remember, you said you were inviting us to taste it. What about mine?"

That's true.

At the time, Shen Xuan was afraid that the two of them would not agree to his move to Spring Breeze Island.

He promised to give the two of them the Ice Talisman after he made it.

This also includes Mu Ling'er.

Shen Xuan silently took out three Frost Talismans and gave them to Mu Ling'er.

"This is so ridiculous!"

Mu Ling'er glanced at the Frost Talisman, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"This talisman..."

"This talisman is exceptionally well-made! Its grade is almost top-quality!"

The Way of Talismans and the Way of Arrays have commonalities.

Mu Ling'er could tell the quality of the talisman at a glance.

The runes are clear, the spiritual energy is abundant, and they appear to be perfectly natural.

This doesn't look like a talisman made by a novice at all!

The key is that this is an ice rune.

"Master Shen, you haven't actually practiced ice magic, have you?!"

Shen Xuan did not hide anything.

He was an ice mage.

Sooner or later, we'll have to use ice magic.

"Shen also studied ice magic."

"hiss--"

Mu Ling'er gasped.

"You've mastered ice magic?"

Shen Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Otherwise what? Why would I need to use the Mystic Ice Locking Spirit Array?"

"I……"

Mu Ling'er was speechless.

Ice magic cultivators are not as rare as lightning magic cultivators or wind magic cultivators.

However, being able to convert water elemental power into ice elemental power and use it freely is not an easy task.

It can be said that among a hundred water-based cultivators, only one in a hundred can comprehend ice magic.

Even if you understand it, you still need to be able to apply it.

Back then, when Master Hanyu was choosing a disciple, he went to great lengths and only managed to select Liu Bingyu from the entire Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect has 30,000 Qi Refining cultivators, of whom at least 5,000 are Water-based cultivators.

Of course, Master Hanyu has high standards; ordinary ice magic aptitude is not enough to meet her standards.

"Master Shen is an ice magic cultivator? My old eyes are failing me, I really didn't realize that!"

Master Zheng sighed.

Shen Xuan smiled slightly, not taking it to heart.

Ordinary people would not associate rogue cultivators with ice magic cultivators.

"By the way, Master Zheng, I would like to purchase three high-quality Creation Pills. Do you have any?"

The Creation Pill is a first-tier special elixir.

It can enhance the spiritual roots of Qi Refining cultivators.

The lower the cultivation level and the worse the spiritual root, the better the effect.

The first one works best.

Later, drug resistance developed, greatly reducing its effectiveness, or even rendering it ineffective.

Premium Creation Pills are even more expensive.

Shen Xuan estimated that a high-quality Creation Pill would cost two to three thousand spirit stones.

He plans to buy more as spares.

"I do not possess the Creation Pill."

Zheng Danshi frankly admitted.

This is also normal.

Even a second-tier alchemist cannot possibly refine all first-tier spiritual pills.

Moreover, the Creation Pill is a special elixir.

"Then, where can I buy it?"

"Ling'er knows!"

Mu Ling'er said smugly, "It's at the Lion King Island Trade Fair."

“Every year, people trade Creation Pills at the Lion King Bird.”

"That's it!"

Shen Xuan looked at Mu Ling'er and said, "Could you please help me purchase this item, Fairy Mu?"

"No matter how many spirit stones it is, I, Shen, will pay."

"cannot!"

Mu Ling'er refused decisively.

“Let’s go together!” Shen Xuan smiled wryly: “I’m just a talisman master, not good at fighting. If I offend powerful figures at the trade fair, I’ll only get myself into trouble.”

"What's there to be afraid of! I'm going with Old Zheng!"

opposite.

Master Zheng stroked his beard smugly and said, "As long as Master Shen doesn't cause trouble, I can guarantee that no one will dare to bully you."

"In this vast sea of ​​stars, the heads of various island families will all give me some face."

Since things had been said to this extent, Shen Xuan couldn't very well refuse.

He still had to give Master Zheng some face.

Otherwise, it would be inconsistent with his/her identity.

On the surface, he, Zheng Danshi, and Mu Ling'er were all guest retainers of the Chen family.

Moreover, they each have their own strengths, and there is no competition between them.

Logically speaking, colleagues of this type should have a better relationship.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

With Master Zheng's assurance that I should be careful and avoid contact with others while on the starry sea, I should be fine.

He could tell that Master Zheng's aura was strong and quite powerful.

He is even stronger than Chen Zhifang, the head of the Chen family on Shenlong Island.

His combat strength is considered strong among those in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Shen Xuan said helplessly, "Then let's go together!"

"This is the right thing!"

Mu Ling'er said with a smile.

The joy is beyond words.

The three chatted for a while.

Mu Ling'er asked about the unusual spiritual energy she felt when she first entered the room.

"The alchemy furnace exploded by accident."

Master Zheng Dan said calmly.

Shen Xuan's heart stirred.

"Old Zheng, your aura... it seems..."

Shen Xuan stopped, not finishing his sentence.

"You read that right. I am a Golden Law cultivator."

Alchemists are best suited to be fire-based cultivators.

Secondly, there are water-based cultivators.

It's not that cultivators with attributes like earth, wood, and metal cannot refine pills.

However, the difficulty is far greater than that of a fire-based alchemist.

This is the same principle as refining weapons and setting up formations.

Earthen and metal methods are suitable for refining weapons.

Wood and earth methods are suitable for setting up formations.

Shen Xuan asked, "Elder Zheng, do you know why the alchemy furnace exploded?"

"Hmm. It's very likely that the heat wasn't controlled properly."

Shen Xuan nodded: "When I was in the Song Kingdom, I met an extraordinary person who was a second-grade high-level alchemist."

“He once refined a Qi-stabilizing pill in front of Shen.”

The Qi-Strengthening Pill is a commonly used elixir in the later stages of Foundation Establishment, which can slightly increase spiritual power.

One Qi-Strengthening Pill is equivalent to the cultivation results of a cultivator in seven or eight days.

It is common for a second-tier high-grade alchemist to refine a Qi-stabilizing pill.

Zheng Danshi and Mu Ling'er looked at Shen Xuan with puzzled expressions.

"This person is a Netherworld cultivator, in the late stage of the Netherworld Foundation stage. When refining pills, he does not use Netherworld Foundation Yin Fire, but ordinary earth fire."

As soon as these words came out.

Zheng Danshi immediately realized the problem.

"Using ordinary earth fire instead of Netherworld Yin Fire? Is there anything special about his earth fire?"

"Old Zheng is brilliant! You hit the nail on the head!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "His earth fire is carefully designed, divided into eight small nozzles, and the temperature can be precisely controlled using valves."

Zheng Danshi, who was usually serious, forced a smile.

"Master Shen, do you still remember what that sprinkler head looked like?"

"remember."

Foundation Establishment cultivators possess exceptional memory.

Shen Xuan took a pen and drew the shape of eight nozzles on a piece of spirit paper.

Each volcanic eruption is equipped with an adjustable valve, measured in degrees.

As a result, more manpower will be needed to refine the pills.

The fire from the ground-fire sprinkler was much more stable and could be adjusted at any time.

Shen Xuan used this fire control method in refining pills in a giant furnace.

Although it is somewhat crude, it is difficult to refine the highly demanding second-tier special elixirs.

However, it is more than enough to refine ordinary second-tier spirit pills.

Shen Xuan handed the blueprints to Zheng Danshi.

"Master Zheng, why not give it a try?"

……

half a month later.

Shen Xuan was in the dining hall, enjoying the monster meat that Bai Xiaomeng had carefully prepared.

Outside the cave.

Angry shouts echoed continuously from within the Water Moon Illusionary Light Array.

Mu Ling'er is trapped inside.

Shen Xuan modified the settings of the Water Moon Illusionary Light Array and set up an additional Ice Mist Array Flag.

This tiny change made the entire illusion array even more mysterious.

It took Mu Ling'er almost half an hour to find the exit, and she stormed out of the formation.

"Master Shen, why did you modify the Water Moon Illusionary Light Array?"

Shen Xuan had just finished eating and gestured for Bai Xiaomeng to take the bowl and leave.

Then, he glanced sideways at Mu Ling'er.

Don't you know why I changed the illusion array?
“Fairy Mu, you’ve come at the right time. If you hadn’t sent a message and had trespassed into the cave, I, Shen, would have even altered the Seven Deadly Winds Formation.”

"If you suffer any injury inside, don't blame me, Shen."

"you dare!"

Mu Ling'er said, her voice sharp but her tone weak.

However, she also knew that Shen Xuan was truly daring.

"Master Shen, please don't make any changes. Ling'er is doing this for your own good. Each flag of the Seven Deadly Winds Formation complements the others. If it's not modified properly, the entire formation will be disrupted."

Mu Ling'er said somewhat guiltily.

The illusion array is alright; it's not very lethal.

If Master Shen successfully alters the Seven Deadly Winds Formation, and she tries to break in again, even with her family heirloom protecting her, she will inevitably suffer.

"Shen's skill in setting up formations is somewhat lacking. However, he does have some skill in modifying formations."

Shen Xuan said confidently.

He himself was a top-tier first-class array master.

After listening to Mu Ling'er's teachings these past few days, his understanding of array formations has improved.

"Alright! From now on, I'll send you a message talisman when Ling'er comes in!"

This time, Mu Ling'er rushed over to tell Shen Xuan some good news.

"Old Master Zheng has successfully refined the Spirit Gathering Pill."

Shen Xuan wasn't surprised at all.

The practice of using small nozzles to refine elixirs with earth fire has long been proven feasible.

"Old Zheng never refined a Spirit Gathering Pill before?"

“I’ve refined it before. The success rate was low, and the quality wasn’t good. This time, it’s different.”

Mu Ling'er revealed a hint of envy.

"Three pills were produced from one batch. Old Master Zheng is now a true second-level alchemist. He's about to make a fortune."
