Refining Ruins Cauldron

The flames flickered, and Gu Qingyun could clearly feel that everything around him seemed to have slowed down considerably.

Every tiny detail, every movement, every stillness, is magnified infinitely.

"His alchemy skills are truly extraordinary."

Now, his sea of ​​consciousness is a whole size larger than before.

It may seem like a small improvement, but that's not actually the case.

This is an all-round improvement, which not only helps with alchemy, but also enhances the control over one's own spiritual power.

Having tasted the benefits, Gu Qingyun was overjoyed and continued to immerse himself in the cultivation technique.

Time flies, and a night has passed in the blink of an eye.

By the time I exited my meditation state, it was already dawn.

Gu Qingyun exhaled a breath of stale air. Although he hadn't slept all night, he felt even more energetic, and his eyes shone brightly.

At this moment, the wisp of colorful fireworks in his sea of ​​consciousness had taken shape and was no longer as faint as it had when it first appeared.

Having mastered the art of alchemy, the next step was naturally to put it to the test.

Gu Qingyun felt a strong urge to try it, so she left the room and went into the side room in the courtyard where the medicinal herbs were stored.

At this moment, he could clearly sense the aura of the elixir.

Even if you don't know what kind of medicinal material it is, you can still use the spiritual energy channels above to process it correctly.

This is much more accurate than what is recorded in the "Dantang Jing".

After all, experience is just experience; what you see with your own eyes is the most accurate.

"The Shadow Ring Grass picked yesterday has already lost most of its spiritual energy in just one day..."

Gu Qingyun muttered to himself, picked up the Shadow Ring Grass, and kept the most essential part according to the veins he saw.

The rest was naturally cut away, flowing smoothly and seamlessly.

The processing speed is now twice as fast as before!

Moreover, the medicinal efficacy of processed *Hymenoplastes rubra* is greater than that of ordinary methods!

"Hmm? Why are you moving so fast today?"

Nianchen looked at Gu Qingyun with some curiosity.

The latter was so engrossed that he didn't even notice him enter.

In just a few breaths, Gu Qingyun had already processed all twelve spiritual herbs.

Even the most skilled handyman disciple couldn't achieve this speed.

"I got a good rest last night, so my speed naturally picked up."

Gu Qingyun gave a evasive answer and grinned.

Nianchen was somewhat skeptical and looked at Gu Qingyun with suspicion.

He took a few plants from the processed medicinal herbs, examined them carefully, and exclaimed in surprise.

"This...this method is excellent! Even if Elder Huo Qian were to do it himself, it would probably end up like this."

Shocked, Nianchen turned to look at Gu Qingyun, her eyes like those of a silly boy who had suddenly become enlightened.

"You... could it be that you were born to be a menial servant in the alchemy hall?!"

Even if Nianchen racked his brains, he probably still couldn't figure out why Gu Qingyun's growth rate was so rapid.

Gu Qingyun chuckled and scratched the back of his head, not intending to explain anything.

The matter of the Refining Ruins Cauldron is naturally something that cannot be told to outsiders.

Even though Nianchen treated her well.

"Fine, since you've done this well, we'll be punished less in the future."

Nianchen didn't press for further questions.

If Gu Qingyun can get the hang of it quickly, the burden on my shoulders will be lighter.

A win-win situation.

The two continued with their work.

Day after day, Gu Qingyun finally established himself in the Dantang.

As Nianchen had said, Elder Huoqian was usually engrossed in alchemy and rarely showed his face.

As long as nothing major goes wrong, the Dantang faction won't even interfere.

Gu Qingyun thus had plenty of time to cultivate, and his cultivation techniques and alchemy skills were progressing steadily.

Although life was dull and monotonous, Gu Qingyun was extremely content and found each day fulfilling.

at night.

As usual, Gu Qingyun quickly entered a meditative state.

The first top-grade Rejuvenation Pill he took quickly took effect.

Gu Qingyun has now reached the fourth level of Qi Refining perfection, and is only one step away from breaking through!

boom!

A silent, crisp sound rang out from within his body once more; he had finally reached the fifth level of Qi Refining!

Gu Qingyun's face lit up with joy, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since entering the Longevity Sect, only a little over two months have passed, and I have already broken through the shackles of the first level of Qi Refining and successfully entered the fifth level of Qi Refining!

This rate of improvement is simply unbelievable for someone with mixed spiritual roots!

Of course, compared to those geniuses with single-attribute spiritual roots, Gu Qingyun's situation is nothing.

This is all thanks to the Refining Ruins Cauldron.

Without this opportunity, I wouldn't be where I am today.

The more this was the case, the clearer Gu Qingyun realized that he absolutely could not let a second person know about the existence of the Refining Ruins Cauldron!

……

Life can't always be smooth sailing, especially for Gu Qingyun.

That day, Gu Qingyun was working in the side room as usual.

The Purple Smoke Fairy quietly appeared in the Dan Hall courtyard.

She still exuded an ethereal aura, still dressed in a light purple gown, but her beauty seemed to have intensified.

That almost perfect face was as cold as ice, revealing not a trace of emotion.

The Purple Smoke Fairy is like an iceberg; even just standing there makes people tremble involuntarily.

Zhao Xingsheng quickly stepped forward, smiling obsequiously, and said, "Elder Huo Qian is out today. May I ask what brings you here, Fairy?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ziyan frowned slightly, but had no choice but to nod faintly.

"I can refine it myself."

After saying that, she walked towards her private alchemy room.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and his gaze fell on Gu Qingyun.

The latter was gathering firewood in the courtyard when she saw Fairy Ziyan trying to leave, but it was too late.

The Purple Smoke Fairy gave a cold laugh: "You, come with me."

Gu Qingyun's face turned pale, and his heart sank.

This woman is a complete madwoman.

They can kill without any reason. If I really went with them, I don't even know if I would survive!

Gu Qingyun still remembers that incident from last time!

If any mistake were to occur during the alchemy process, Gu Qingyun could foresee that, regardless of whether it was his fault or not, he would only face certain death!

"Hmm? Aren't you coming over here at once? Do you want me to personally invite you?"

The Purple Smoke Fairy's voice grew even colder, her tone even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Not to mention the person involved, Zhao Xingsheng felt a chill run down his spine and quickly pushed Gu Qingyun out.

"Are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and go!"

When Fairy Ziyan gets angry, even those who are just innocent bystanders will suffer.

One person dies, better than everyone else!

Everyone looked at Gu Qingyun with nothing but pity in their eyes.

Once you enter Fairy Ziyan's alchemy room, whether you can get out or not is entirely up to fate.

"Fairy, if you don't mind, I'm willing to go in Junior Brother Gu's place. What could a newcomer like him possibly know?"

Just then, Nian Chen suddenly stepped forward and blocked Gu Qingyun's path.

That seemingly thin figure now appeared much more imposing in everyone's eyes.

Ziyan Fairy raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her expression, but it was quickly replaced by a cold smile.

"In that case, you're the one."
