Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

Hongling squinted, looking at Li Ping'an with a puzzled expression.

"Did it work?"

She knew that Qingyue's success was definitely due to this old man's machinations.

After all, she knew better than anyone else just how capable the other party was.

This made Hongling even more curious about Li Ping'an and she developed a strong interest in the old man.

I wonder what methods this old man used?

Surprisingly, they were able to guarantee at least one successful batch each time.

Could this person be a master alchemist?

However, they have always been hiding their identity.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he decisively shook his head.

If the other party were truly that powerful, how could they possibly be a menial servant who had just entered the Qi Refining Realm?

"Senior sister, I've finished practicing! Although I failed quite a few times, at least I succeeded in one attempt!"

"Come on, let my underling train with you."

Qingyue was in a good mood because no matter how many times she failed, the ending was always good.

Hongling shook her head, her red lips slightly pursed, and said...

"Let's wait a little longer. Aren't you afraid your underlings will be worked to death?"

Li Ping'an nodded in deep agreement.

Although inhaling exhaust fumes is pleasurable.

But he couldn't endure staying up like that for a whole day and night.

Besides, his body is almost full of waste gas and he urgently needs to meditate to digest it!

He immediately cupped his hands and said.

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Sister Hongling. Please allow me to rest for one night, and I will come to help you refine pills again the next day."

"good!"

Hongling said.

"Then I'll wait for you here. I have quite a lot of pills to refine, so you'd better be well prepared."

Li Ping'an thought to himself, "A bit too much? And how much exactly?"

So what if it's just another day and night?

Just in time for me, Li Ping'an, to take a deep breath!

He immediately nodded his thanks, yawned, and went back to his room.

Back in his room, Li Ping'an didn't go to sleep.

Instead, he chose to sit in meditation.

While digesting the abundant waste gas in his body.

He began practicing breathing exercises by circulating the "Taiyi Qi-Inducing Technique".

During the breathing exercises, mental energy is restored, and the tired body begins to recover gradually.

It seems that this breathing technique really does eliminate the need for sleep.

Li Ping'an was secretly delighted.

It's definitely a method that suits his cultivation.

It's like practicing cultivation while sleeping.

I practiced for a whole night.

Li Ping'an could sense that his cultivation had reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining.

We were just one step away from the fourth floor.

He walked out of the room looking energetic.

Qingyue and Hongling were sitting outside the door, talking about something.

It must be said that these people with high levels of cultivation have truly excellent mental health.

Li Ping'an sighed with emotion.

Hongling and Qingyue are both Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Unlike cultivators with lower cultivation levels, they don't need to rest after staying up all night.

A short meditation session is all it takes to recover.

They are far inferior to us.

"Come on, Senior Sister Hongling, let's refine pills."

"OK!"

Hongling smiled slightly and said to Qingyue.

"Junior sister, you should go back first. I'll come back after I finish refining the pills."

"good!"

Qingyue nodded obediently and said...

"Then I'll be going now."

Then she turned to Li Ping'an and said,

"Little brother, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard this time."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work."

Li Ping'an shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

He patted his chest and said,

"It is my honor to serve my senior sister! Come, let's begin refining the pills."

"OK!"

Hongling smiled slightly.

"I brought over 150 sets of materials this time, and I'm going to practice them all over in the next few days, so you'd better be prepared."

"What? How much?"

Li Ping'an was stunned when he heard the number.

How much do you want to practice?

One hundred and fifty doses of elixirs?

Wouldn't that require seven days and seven nights of practice?

Brother, if you don't need to rest, I do!

But when he thought of his bold words, Li Ping'an couldn't go back on his word.

He could only nod without changing his expression.

"Come on! Let me see how energetic you are and how willing you are to serve us!"

Hong Ling's red lips curved into a beautiful smile as she pulled Li Ping'an into the alchemy room.

.....

The sun and moon are reversed, and day and night are indistinguishable.

In the past few days, countless charred charcoal pieces have floated out of the alchemy room, as have countless refreshing aromas.

Seventh day.

Li Ping'an finished burning the last bundle of firewood, feeling utterly exhausted.

"Senior sister, this is the last batch."

"good!"

Hongling was also a little tired at this moment.

For seven days, he worked tirelessly, without sleep, refining pills, refining pills.

......

Now we've finally reached the final stage.

He made hand seals and poured spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace.

Then he watched the temperature changes inside the alchemy furnace with bated breath.

Just then, Hongling shouted,

"Turn off the engine!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an immediately extinguished the firewood with cold water.

All that could be seen was smoke slowly rising from above the single room on the first floor.

This time, another batch of pills was successfully made.

Li Ping'an's eyes lit up slightly.

Putting everything else aside, Hong Ling's alchemy skills are indeed very strong.

During these seven days, Li Ping'an helped Hong Ling refine approximately one hundred and fifty batches of pills.

Moreover, the success rate was about 30% yesterday.

In the field of alchemy, having such a success rate is already considered quite good.

Hongling's eyes lit up, and her face was filled with deep excitement.

"It actually worked!"

Looking at the other person's excited expression, Li Ping'an felt a surge of curiosity.

So what if you've just refined a batch of pills? What's there to be excited about?

Besides, hasn't the other party been refining it all this time?

At this moment, Hongling looked at Li Ping'an with a face full of excitement.

"Hehe, I've finally broken through to become a third-grade alchemist, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

No wonder the other party has been refining pills at such a high intensity.

So it turns out that all they did was try to break through to the third-grade alchemist level.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Ping'an's face.

"Congratulations to Senior Sister Hongling on successfully breaking through to the third-level alchemist! Congratulations!"

Hongling was in a great mood at the moment, her face beaming with excitement.

Hongling looked at Li Ping'an with delight.

"Thank you very much. I've put in a lot of effort and hard work recently in order to achieve this breakthrough."

"But I haven't been able to break through for a long time. Now, with your help, it's fantastic."

Li Ping'an smiled, but his eyes darted around mischievously.

The other party has now broken through to the third-grade alchemist level.

Does that mean he can try refining a third-grade spirit-type elixir?

If I could get her to help me refine a third-tier pill.

Even if it fails, you can still pick up the waste pills.

It is struck with a heaven-breaking hammer to become a true elixir.

However, he didn't dare to openly give the prescription directly to Hongling.

There isn't enough trust between the two parties yet, so they naturally can't make such an impulsive move.

I must come up with a suitable way to send the pills out.

This is the wisest choice.

Li Ping'an scratched his head, his mind racing.

But for the time being, they couldn't think of a suitable solution.
