Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 589 True Fire Refining Pills (Seeking Further Subscriptions)

The materials used for the Golden Elixir are quite valuable.

Even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it difficult to collect them all in their entire life.

The seeds for Core Formation in the Qingyun Sect must undergo sect selection and be exchanged based on merit.

Only a dozen or so coins can be exchanged each time.

Some Core Formation seeds were eliminated and could not be exchanged.

Wu Yaoyu comes from a prestigious sect and is a direct disciple of Master Mingxin.

Nevertheless, a single material for the Golden Elixir was still extremely precious to him.

Wu Yaoyu carefully took out more than a dozen jade boxes from his storage bag and placed them on the jade table.

The three main ingredients and eight auxiliary ingredients for the Golden Elixir are all available.

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense.

The medicinal materials are all of medium to high quality, aged sufficiently, and in good condition, meeting the basic requirements for alchemy.

"The medicinal herbs are good."

Shen Xuan took a sip of spiritual tea and slowly said, "Nephew Wu, have you read the terms of the mission hall's commission to refine the Golden Core pill?"

"See clearly."

"This time, for the sake of my two junior sisters, I will not take a single penny, no matter how many pills are produced. I guarantee at least one Transformation Gold Pill."

"Sixth Junior Sister, Seventh Junior Sister, this is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time."

This is the first commissioned business to refine the Golden Elixir.

Shen Xuan still gave the Wu sisters some face.

"Thank you very much, Senior Uncle Xuanbing."

Wu Yaoyu showed gratitude.

Shen Xuan smiled.

Wu Yaoyu is much better than his two cousins.

Their manners and etiquette were impeccable.

Even when it's a fake smile, it looks quite natural.

If I'm not mistaken, he should be a key figure being groomed by the Wu family, and a candidate for the next head of the family.

……

The Frozen Cave, the Alchemy Chamber.

At this time, the Myriad Dragons Profound Water Furnace, after being strengthened by True Man Yu Yang, had become a third-tier alchemy furnace.

Shen Xuan had used it for many years and was already very proficient at it.

This time, he opened the furnace to refine the Golden Elixir.

Li Ruyi, Ding Qingfeng, and Shangguan Mingyue all attended to observe and learn.

Ding Qingfeng and Shangguan Mingyue were just experiencing it.

Given their level of expertise in alchemy, it would be impossible for them to fully comprehend its mysteries.

Li Ruyi is the one Shen Xuan is focusing on developing.

After receiving the Nether Pearl from the Bone Nether Ancestor for free from Shen Xuan, Li Ruyi's cultivation was no longer a problem.

This can guarantee her needs for ten years of cultivation.

Her previous life was that of a third-grade high-level alchemist.

Now, all memories have been restored.

The reason why they did not refine high-grade spiritual pills such as the Golden Elixir.

On the one hand, there is a lack of medicinal materials for hands-on practice, and on the other hand, the efficacy of the Netherfire is slightly inferior to that of the True Person's Elixir Fire.

Simply put, the brain can understand it, but the hands can't keep up.

Watch it several times, try to make up for your shortcomings with skill, and get started refining the Golden Elixir as soon as possible.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged in front of the Myriad Dragons Profound Water Furnace with a solemn expression, like an old monk in meditation.

"change!"

A stream of spiritual water flew out from the spiritual spring, flowing like a rainbow into the Myriad Dragons Mystic Water Furnace, soaking all the medicinal herbs.

"Drenched!"

The spiritual water surged and churned, washing the medicinal herbs and removing impurities.

"seal up!"

The Wanlong Xuanshui Furnace closed its lid and officially began refining elixirs.

"cook!"

Shen Xuan unleashed a burst of true solar fire, which ignited around the Myriad Dragons Profound Water Furnace.

At this point, the true fire of the sun is only in the proficiency stage.

Shen Xuan practices occasionally.

It is sufficient for alchemy.

If a Fire Mage were to see this, he would surely be speechless with astonishment.

Such behavior is nothing short of a waste of resources.

"boil!"

Shen Xuan continuously cast spells by making hand gestures, heating the water at high temperatures.

About three or four hours later.

"keep!"

The sun's true fire reduces the intensity of the fire, and heating occurs at a low temperature.

"wine!"

This is a crucial step in the water-based alchemy process.

Shen Xuan's fingers flew across the screen, shooting streams of pure Primordial Ice Spirit Power into the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace.

This process is complex and mysterious.

The goal is to use pure ice spiritual power to release the medicinal essence of all the herbs in the alchemy furnace.

Originally, it needed to be left to stand for a long time.

Shen Xuan used the Primordial Ice Spirit Power to accelerate the process.

Nevertheless, Shen Xuan continued to cast spells and continuously inject Primordial Ice Spiritual Power, carefully guiding it, and left it to stand still for more than twenty days.

Immediately following was the "dot!"

This is the most difficult step in the water-based alchemy process.

This is also the pivotal moment when the medicinal materials undergo a qualitative change in the alchemy furnace.

Shen Xuan calmed himself down and used a stream of pure spiritual water as a guide to lead the medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace to fuse and transform.

This process lasted for a full hour.

"Pour!"

The medicinal herbs are transformed into a fragrant medicinal liquid.

The final step, applicable to both water and fire alchemy methods, is pill condensation.

These medicinal liquids were then condensed into a golden elixir.

At this point, the observation area is a little further away.

The usually composed Wu Yaoyu showed a hint of anxiety.

He stared intently at the alchemy furnace, his palms sweating profusely.

Even the Wu family, a thousand-year-old sect and aristocratic family, would find it difficult to give him a second batch of Golden Elixir ingredients to squander at will.

The transformation of the Golden Elixir is crucial to his chances of successfully condensing the elixir, so it's impossible for him not to be nervous.

At that moment, all he could do was pray silently in his heart.

"When I suggested asking Senior Uncle Xuanbing to refine the Golden Core, my master just smiled slightly and did not object."

"Master would not lie to me. Senior Uncle Xuanbing will definitely be able to refine a qualified Golden Transformation Pill."

"Even if there's only one, it's not a loss."

"The Water-based Elixir is two or three times more effective than the Fire-based Elixir."

Wu Yaoyu encouraged himself in his heart.

He is a cautious person.

This decision wasn't entirely due to the influence of my two younger sisters.

Unlike him.

The two sisters, Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting, had complete confidence in Shen Xuan.

The two chuckled softly, seemingly discussing how to gain benefits from Shen Xuan after successfully refining the pill.

According to the prompts in the mission hall, disciples who introduce the process of refining the Golden Core will receive 10,000 merit points or a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Clearly, this small benefit was not enough to satisfy the sisters' appetites.

The one who was truly at peace was Qin Yuehan.

She didn't look at the alchemy furnace; her gaze remained fixed on Shen Xuan's focused face, her eyes filled with tenderness.

In Qin Yuehan's eyes, Shen Xuan shone brightly and was dazzlingly radiant. This reminded her of the spirited young man she remembered from her school days.

"He's still so young!"

"But I'm getting old!"

A sense of self-pity and resentment arose in Qin Yuehan's heart.

The most crucial moment in alchemy has finally arrived.

The alchemy furnace began to vibrate, and the vibrations became increasingly violent.

A dazzling golden light shone through the gaps in the stove lid.

A refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the entire alchemy room.

Everyone held their breath and looked toward the alchemy furnace.

A flash of crimson light appeared in Shen Xuan's eyes.

He formed hand seals and unleashed a profound and complex elixir-condensing technique.

"Congeal!"

The pure Primordial Ice Spirit Power rapidly cooled, compressed, and crystallized the medicinal liquid.

The furnace was opened, and golden light shot into the sky.

In an instant, two fist-sized golden orbs of light flew out of the alchemy furnace, attempting to break through the alchemy room and escape into the void.

Shen Xuan reached out and beckoned.

Two golden orbs of light fell into his palm.

The golden light faded, leaving behind a lingering fragrance of cinnabar.

Two golden pills, each the size of a longan, floated in Shen Xuan's palm, their surfaces clearly marked with Dao patterns.

One has eight lines, and one has eleven lines.

"I was lucky. One of them is almost a masterpiece."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

This time, he held nothing back and went all out.

They even used the true fire of the sun.

The results are remarkable.

It's only one Dao pattern away from becoming a high-quality Golden Elixir.

"Now, I am a third-tier high-grade alchemist, and I truly deserve the title."

Shen Xuan thought to himself, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Now, his mastery of alchemy has reached the level of the Immortal of Longevity.

As time goes by, his alchemical skills will continue to improve.

In his eyes, the Immortal of Immortality was already a lamb to the slaughter.

We just need to wait for the right opportunity.

Across from him, Wu Yaoyu looked excited.

“Nephew Wu, you have refined two Golden Transformation Pills. One of them has eleven Dao patterns, which is close to being a fine product.”

Shen Xuan packed the two Transformation Pills into two separate containers and handed them to Wu Yaoyu.

Wu Yaoyu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement, and bowed to Shen Xuan.

“Uncle-Master Xuanbing, Wu Yaoyu is extremely grateful. In the future, Uncle-Master Xuanbing, please feel free to give me any orders.”

Shen Xuan said calmly, "Junior Nephew Wu, you flatter me. You are the cousin of both of your junior sisters and a direct disciple of Senior Brother Mingxin. After returning to the sect, prepare well and focus on condensing your core."

Shen Xuan didn't take the gratitude of a mere Foundation Establishment disciple to heart.

Only if one can condense an inner elixir and become a true immortal, will it have some meaning.

At this moment, Wu Yuting, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes and sent a telepathic message to Wu Xueting.

"Sister, Seventh Brother has really struck it rich this time! Let's forget about Eldest Brother and not cause him any more trouble."

After saying that, Wu Yuting winked playfully, quickly walked to Wu Yaoyu's side, and said sweetly, "Seventh Brother, you're right to listen to your little sister, aren't you? Two Transformation Pills, one of them is almost a top-grade one!"

"Look how kind our senior brother is! For the sake of us sisters, he's waiving your one million spirit stones for alchemy fees!"

Wu Yuting emphasized the importance of "one million spirit stones".

He was afraid that this seventh brother hadn't heard him clearly.

Wu Yaoyu was in a very good mood.

He already knew the twins' personalities very well.

"Thirteenth Sister, let's talk about it when we get back. Don't let Master Xuanbing laugh at us."

Wu Yuting glanced at Shen Xuan, who had a solemn expression, and stuck out her tongue.

He moved his lips slightly, transmitting his voice to Wu Yaoyu.

"I don't care. Last time, I took a fancy to a Bixia Ruyi Flying Fairy Dress."

"Okay. I'll go buy it for you when I get back!"

Wu Yaoyu readily agreed.

Wu Yuting immediately smiled broadly.

Wu Xueting, who has a calmer personality, walked to Qin Yuehan's side.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was explaining the method of refining the Golden Elixir to Li Ruyi.

Ding Qingfeng and Shangguan Mingyue listened intently from the side.

Even if they didn't understand, the two of them would memorize it by rote.

This is the true teaching of the Water-Based Golden Elixir!

They are incredibly fortunate to be able to follow Shen Xuan and hear these true teachings!

"Fifth Senior Sister, Eldest Senior Brother is really amazing."

A hint of envy was evident in Wu Yuting's words.

"He's really quite capable."

Qin Yuehan's lips curved slightly, revealing a proud smile.

Her gaze remained fixed on Shen Xuan, and she sighed with emotion.

"It's a pity I missed it back then."

If only she had been bolder back then and hadn't cut off contact with Shen Xuan.

We've stayed in touch, weathering the storms together.

Perhaps the two had already been betrothed and married, becoming a legitimate Daoist couple.

It wouldn't have come to this.

In fact, Qin Yuehan underestimated Shen Xuan's Dao heart.

Even if she were willing, Shen Xuan wouldn't agree.

A close female friend is fine, but a romantic relationship is not.

As long as the cheat code is activated.

Shen Xuan would then resolve to achieve immortality and attain enlightenment.

It's better to forget each other in the vast world than to cling together in hardship.

All his relatives and friends are just passersby; they can only accompany him for a part of the journey.

After repeatedly expressing his gratitude, Wu Yaoyu pulled the somewhat unwilling Wu sisters away from Xinghui Island.

You can imagine.

After the Wu sisters return to their sect, they will publicize Shen Xuan's achievements in alchemy extensively.

One set of medicinal herbs, two pills of the Golden Elixir, one of which is close to being of the finest quality.

Even if it costs a million spirit stones to refine the pills, the person who commissioned the pill refining still makes a huge profit.

The name of Xuanbing Zhenren, a third-tier superior alchemist, will soon spread throughout the entire Song Kingdom.

The Golden Elixir is a hard currency that is dozens of times more valuable than the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

A truly top-tier sect, in addition to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, must have a third-tier high-grade alchemist capable of refining Golden Elixir.

“Even people like the Wu sisters can be useful if used properly.”

Shen Xuan had no liking for the Wu sisters.

But to say there's any aversion wouldn't be an exaggeration.

He just felt that his two junior sisters were a bit of a hassle.

This time, the Wu sisters introduced Wu Yaoyu to refine the Golden Elixir.

Help him establish his reputation as a top-tier third-level alchemist.

I did him a small favor.

Shen Xuan didn't mind waiving Wu Yaoyu's alchemy fees, allowing the Wu sisters to enjoy the glory of the Wu family.

"This time I almost refined a high-quality Golden Elixir. Besides being more careful, using the True Fire of the Sun was more effective than using Earth Fire."

Shen Xuan reviewed the entire alchemy process, lost in thought.
