Chapter 768 Chapter 770 Forbidden Spirit Canyon
After her realm was promoted, Rong Xianxian decided to continue practicing alchemy. She entered the misty space and looked at the pile of elixirs neatly arranged. She felt a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart. Her luck seemed to be particularly good during this period. She harvested seven thousand-year-old elixirs, one thousand-year-old winter calamus, one thousand-year-old purple ganoderma, one thousand-year-old jade dew flower, one thousand-year-old seven-star wood, one thousand-year-old white jade ginseng, one thousand-year-old star grass, and one thousand-year-old black magic vine.
In addition to these spiritual medicines that are more than ten thousand years old, there are hundreds of spiritual medicines that are thousands of years old. In addition, Rong Xianxian also obtained the spatial items left behind by dozens of monks who died in the Tomb of Souls. Those spatial items include not only strange weapons and rare materials, but also countless precious spiritual medicines.
With sufficient materials and the help of the pill box, Rong Xianxian soon immersed herself in refining medicine.
The older the elixir is, the stronger its medicinal properties are, and the more violent and overbearing the spiritual energy it contains is. For example, the elixir Seven Star Wood, when refined into a pill, has the effect of connecting bones and continuing veins. However, the raw medicinal material is extremely aggressive and difficult to integrate with other medicinal materials. The older the medicinal material, the stronger its aggressiveness is. Refining Seven Star Wood requires a very high level of alchemist. Seven Star Wood is also known as "furnace-blasting wood". Therefore, as a mid-level elixir, the Seven Star Pill is, to a certain extent, more difficult to refine than high-level elixirs.
Rong Xianxian is currently limited by her realm. Since she cannot control the thousand-year-old elixir, she is unable to refine high-level elixirs. She can only practice her skills hard and strive to use the most optimized processes and steps to complete the sorting of medicinal materials in order to break through the limitations of her realm. Refining the Seven-Star Pill is the biggest challenge she currently faces.
During this period, she abandoned her previous thinking patterns, constantly explored new ways, and tried various methods to control the various ancient elixirs in the alchemy furnace. Normally, during the alchemy process, the alchemist only needs to put the right herbs at the right time and control the temperature. After countless furnace explosions, Rong Xianxian created a method to sort out the elixirs and finally refined the Seven Star Pill.
In the misty space, Rong Xianxian sat cross-legged. In front of her was a box emitting golden light. The box was full of bright fire and colorful lights, which looked very beautiful. However, Rong Xianxian's brows were frowning, her face was pale, and there was a dense layer of sweat on her forehead. She pinched her hands and kept changing her hand seals. Afterimages were drawn between her palms and fingers. There were intensive explosions from the crystal clear furnace in the pill box, and there were fierce collision sounds from the lid above the furnace. This was the most important moment of alchemy. When the pill was ready, Rong Xianxian's soul turned into thousands of soul threads to control the various elixirs in the furnace. From a mess to the initial shape, nine elixirs were slowly generated in the furnace. The surface of the nine elixirs gradually became round and delicate, and fragrance emanated. One, two, and three golden lines emerged from within. With a "hum", the precious light bloomed, and the pill was completed and the fire was extinguished.
Rong Xianxian, who was outside the pill box, showed a look of joy on her face. While retracting her spiritual sense, she took out the refined Seven Star Pill. Seeing the three elixir patterns on the elixir, she took a red jade bottle from the side and put the Seven Star Pill into it. In the large medicine cabinet more than one meter high beside her, various elixirs had been arranged in different categories. These elixirs were arranged in order according to their variety, purpose, and quality of the finished pills. Each row was labeled. The white jade bottle contained low-grade elixirs, the orange jade bottle contained medium-grade elixirs, the red jade bottle contained high-grade elixirs, and the golden jade bottle contained super-grade elixirs.
During this month, she had tried all the intermediate-level elixir recipes in the "Danlu" in her hand, and had refined hundreds of furnaces of commonly used and valuable elixirs such as Xuanming Dan, Chijin Dan, and Baohua Dan. From the beginning, she could only occasionally refine top-grade elixirs with three dan patterns, but later she could refine top-grade elixirs almost every time. Rong Xianxian's alchemy level was constantly improving. Now she used five thousand year old Seven Star Wood to refine top-grade Seven Star Pills. She vaguely felt that she had reached her limit.
After checking Ning Qingyun's physical condition, he found that he was in much better condition than before. Now, even if Rong Xianxian did not guide spiritual energy for him and perform acupuncture treatment, his body still functioned normally, which made Rong Xianxian feel much more at ease.
In the following time, Rong Xianxian continued to move forward, searching for soul-shaping grass while challenging the sixth-level monsters. Occasionally, she would encounter cultivators who were either traveling in groups or alone. Rong Xianxian generally would not contact them. About two months later, the "Treasure Hunting Book" had some movement. Under the guidance of the "Treasure Hunting Book", Rong Xianxian discovered an extremely deep canyon. In the canyon grew a huge fruit tree, which was full of red-glowing fruits. This was the Red Blood Fruit, also called the Longevity Fruit, which could replenish the marrow and prolong life.
The red blood fruit blooms once every three thousand years and bears fruit once every five thousand years. As soon as Rong Xianxian approached the canyon, she noticed that the spiritual energy in her body was stagnant. The further she walked, the stronger the feeling became. When she reached the edge of the canyon and saw the red blood fruit tree, she felt as if there was no spiritual energy left in her body, as if someone had placed a soul-forbidden formation nearby.
Without the ability to use spiritual energy, this steep and deep canyon became a natural chasm, and many monks or monsters who coveted the red blood fruit died at the bottom of the canyon.
This situation certainly did not pose a problem for Rong Xianxian. She checked her armor, turned on the energy shield, stepped on the flying skateboard, and flew into the canyon. No one knew how the canyon was formed, but it was bottomless. Rong Xianxian approached the red blood fruit tree cautiously. Just as she was about to pick the fruit, a brown tree root lashed at her like a whip. Rong Xianxian dodged it and continued to pick the red blood fruit.
The attack intensity of the tree roots was not high. Amid the "crackling" sound, Rong Xianxian dodged and quickly picked all the red blood fruits. However, when Rong Xianxian returned to the top of the canyon and left the forbidden spirit area after picking the fruits, she was attacked by surprise.
A long arrow hit Rong Xianxian with a "bang". The energy shield that had not yet been removed was instantly shattered, and a fishy and sweet smell surged in Rong Xianxian's throat.
