Chapter 204 Practice

The number of brains increases by one, and the number of foundation-building brains reaches seventy-three.

For Chen Luo, this was a brain he had picked up for free, and it was very complete.

If it was a normal fight, it would be very difficult for him to kill this mountain-climbing monk. The other party's realm was at least the late stage of foundation building, and it was possible that he had perfected his foundation. Under the realm suppression, he could run away if he couldn't beat him. But this guy was stubborn and plunged directly into the formation. If Chen Luo didn't want to ensure the integrity of his brain and test his newly learned magical powers, he might have been killed without even seeing Chen Luo.

No normal person would charge into the formation with their physical body. This guy also suffered from the loss of information. He didn't expect that an old demon like Han Jiuzhu, who had reached the perfect foundation building stage, would also die.

After absorbing the other party's brain, Chen Luo obtained a lot of valuable information, among which there was an obsession that made him pay a little attention.

"Kill Han Jiu and take away his Spring and Autumn Gu. Then I can condense the fake pill seeds and hopefully form a pill."

Fake Dan seeds?

Chen Luo took a look at the Jindan seeds that he had accidentally copied using his Jindan brain, and felt vaguely that this thing might be the fake Jindan seeds that the mountain monks had been dreaming of.

Half a day later.

Ding Zhao brought Old Man Sun and other family heads up the mountain to pay tribute. They went up the mountain at this critical juncture because they must have wanted to find out about Chen Luo's situation. They were all vassal forces of Gumo Mountain and lived under the towering tree of Chen Luo. Chen Luo's condition directly determined the fate of their family.

"Leave the spirit stone here, and just send the people away."

Chen Luo sat in the training room, glanced at Ding Zhao who was standing respectfully at the door, and replied expressionlessly that he had no time to deal with those people.

"yes."

Ding Zhao responded respectfully and withdrew.

Since he established a relationship with this former "junior brother", his status in Gumo Mountain has risen rapidly, and even the granddaughter of old man Ding has started to get close to him. Ding Zhao saw this clearly. Having been a casual cultivator for a period of time, he knew that people's hearts were treacherous. He was wary of those who took the initiative to approach him. He would not trust them too much, but he would not reject them either.

He himself was making use of this rare opportunity to practice diligently. Not long ago, he had made some progress in his cultivation and was about to enter the eighth level of Qi Refining. However, he lacked some spiritual power and needed the help of elixirs to complete the breakthrough. Otherwise, relying solely on the power of spiritual veins, it would take at least another year to complete the breakthrough.

After sending these people away, Chen Luo shifted his attention back.

A fire was lit in the practice room.

After such a long period of sedimentation, he also had to refine the "Chun Yuan Yi Qi Pill". This was a second-stage late-stage pill that he got from the fox girl Su Linlin. None of the three alchemists he had mastered had ever refined it in their lifetime, so it was quite difficult to get started.

The refining method of Chunyuan Yiqi Dan is different from that of conventional elixirs.

He needs to combine the medicinal properties and integrate the medicinal power at the same time. That is to say, during the process of refining the elixir, Chen Luo needs to open the alchemy furnace many times to add new medicinal materials. This refining method will greatly affect the fire temperature.

Every time the furnace is opened, external spiritual power will flow in, affecting the constant temperature inside the furnace, and the temperature will increase rapidly after closing. This process makes the fire temperature inside the furnace rise and fall. It is precisely because of this that the price of pure Yuan Yiqi Dan in the market is extremely expensive. Not to mention the pills with grade patterns, even the middle-grade ones are rare.

Chen Luo started the furnace and refined the fire according to his familiar method.

His spiritual consciousness spread out and quickly distributed the spiritual medicines around him. After waiting for a while, when the temperature inside the furnace met the requirements, he quickly controlled the first spiritual medicine to be put into the furnace. During this process, the temperature of the fire fluctuated slightly, but he quickly stabilized it.

Among the three alchemist brains he controlled, one was good at controlling fire temperature. With the existence of this external brain, Chen Luo easily solved this problem.

The liquid medicine melted and turned into a brownish-brown liquid medicine. The combination of multiple medicinal materials produced a new medicinal property. Controlling the fire temperature, Chen Luo quickly opened the furnace and added medicine, allowing the new medicinal materials and the brownish-brown comprehensive liquid medicine to be combined. The fire temperature fluctuated again, and the color of the liquid medicine changed a little bit.

This was repeated nine times. By the tenth time, Chen Luo quickly performed the fire control technique, and a large amount of medicinal fragrance emanated from the surface of the alchemy furnace.

'It's time to start the furnace!'

Elder An’s brain gave feedback.

'Wait a little longer.'

"It will take another ten breaths to refine."

For the first time, the three alchemists had different responses in their brains. Based on their different life experiences, everyone's perception was correct. At this time, it was up to Chen Luo to make his own subjective judgment.

Controlling the fire temperature, Chen Luoling put out the fire and chose to start the furnace.

laugh.

The aroma of medicine wafted out, the flame inside the furnace dimmed, and a pitch-black pill flew out of the furnace.

It’s done!

Chen Luo was delighted and quickly took out the porcelain bottle and put the pills away.

"Low quality?"

The expression on Chen Luo's face froze.

The elixir was made, but he definitely couldn't eat the inferior ones. He didn't want to worry about the poison from the elixir in the future. He put the elixir away and began to sort out his experience in refining the elixir.

The three second-level alchemists also came to their own conclusions. As they were all second-level alchemists, they would not think that there was anything wrong with their alchemy methods.

"You should practice for ten more breaths."

'Three breaths at most.'

"No, no, the medicinal properties were not decomposed properly, and the furnace temperature also fluctuated. This is the main reason why the pill became a low-quality product."

Chen Luo was summarizing his experience in alchemy, but couldn't find the problem for a while.

When you can't come to a conclusion, the best way is trial and error.

After resting for a while and recovering his spiritual power, he took a new batch of materials and started a new round of refining.

Three days later.

Chen Luo had refined all the spiritual materials. After dozens or hundreds of failures, he finally mastered the secret of refining the Pure Yuan Yi Qi Pill and successfully refined a top-grade spiritual pill.

The pill is milky white, and the outer coating is constantly flowing, as if it were a living thing.

Chen Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and swallowed the elixir.

The elixir turned into liquid and merged into his limbs and bones. Chen Luo activated the "Heart Demon Technique", and the spiritual power in his body quickly became active. The power of the elixir pulled the heart method and began to absorb the energy from the outside world frantically. The air outside the house formed a huge vortex, and the energy rushed in. The speed of the 50th spiritual dragon condensed accelerated, and the tail and hind claws evolved vividly.

After a long time, Chen Luo woke up from breathing.

The fiftieth dragon in the body has almost condensed.

"Pure Yuan Yi Qi Pill?"

Chen Luo sensed the changes in his body, and his whole body seemed to be washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The perception range of his spiritual consciousness further expanded, and his flesh, blood, tendons and bones had all changed. The most conspicuous thing was the bones engraved with the 'Demon Bone Array Pattern'. The array pattern on it emitted flowing patterns, like a living thing.

This situation lasted for a cup of tea before the light slowly faded away.

After taking a look at the few remaining spiritual materials, Chen Luo sent a message to Ding Zhao outside the house.

"Go buy Ulan grass and Shangyu flower"

He mentioned more than twenty kinds of spiritual materials in one breath, and the places where they were purchased were also different. Some of them could be purchased at the Thirteen Family Market at the foot of the mountain, while others needed to be purchased from further away. Fox Demon Su Linlin purchased the main materials through the channels here, and purchased the auxiliary medicines herself.

Before he accepted registered disciples, Chen Luo had to go out for a few days every time he reached this stage of practice. Now that he has a few disciples doing odd jobs, he doesn't have to do everything himself. One order can solve the problem.

"yes!"

Ding Zhao, who was secretly practicing outside the house, was startled and stood up immediately. Without Chen Luo's instructions, he quickly assigned the tasks. In less than a quarter of an hour, all five registered disciples went down the mountain.

He refined another batch of pills and took them. This time, after he used all his strength to practice the "Heart Demon Technique", the familiar "Heart Demon" suddenly appeared again.

Chen Luo, who had practiced countless times, followed his induction and went out.

This time, the place he appeared in was a closed training room, where Chen Luo saw a Qi-refining cultivator who was trying to break through the barrier and build his foundation. This man was very old, with white beard, and an indomitable spirit in his eyes.

“Build a foundation! I must build a foundation!!”

Chen Luo stood by and watched the strange Qi-refining master who had fallen into madness, without moving. He could feel that the other party was not in good condition. He was too old and the blood and qi he had to rely on pills made him feel very reluctant to break through the barrier. The probability of such a person successfully building a foundation was no more than 10%!

"The blood is not enough again? How come it is consumed so quickly?"

The old monk was already somewhat unconscious. He took the empty medicine bottle and tried desperately to pour it into his mouth, but there was nothing inside.

Some of the Qi and blood needed to break through the barrier can be supplemented by external objects, while some must rely on one's own foundation. External objects are external objects after all, and the core is still oneself.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a saying that one has to be fifty years old to build the foundation.

The old man's condition became more and more strange. The Qi and blood in his body began to decline, and the power of the foundation-building spiritual object also began to dissipate. Chen Luo stood by and watched quietly.

"Build a foundation, I want to build a foundation"

The old man suddenly went crazy, and threw the medicine bottle in his hand out. The porcelain bottle hit the wall, breaking into large pieces, and a few pieces fell on his body, piercing his body with blood, but he was unaware of it and continued to burn his blood desperately.

"Take him to see the foundation building."

Chen Luo suddenly heard a voice, and the next moment, two shadows like him appeared in the room, and their fingers pierced into the old man's body.

The next moment, the crazy old man suddenly burst out with extremely strong momentum, like a last burst of light, which burned up all of his remaining lifespan in an instant.

"I did it, I did it!! Hahahaha!!!"

Amidst the laughter, the old man's body turned into ash bit by bit, and finally disappeared into thin air. Only two pieces of clothing were left at the spot. This unknown training room fell into silence, and no one would ever know that there had been a casual cultivator who had tried to break through and build his foundation here.

A trace of power surged into his body, the scene changed, and Chen Luo returned to the training room again.

His strength increased again, but he did not feel happy, he just felt a little depressed.
