Because he has more important things to do right now.

"The Qinghu Grand Meeting is approaching, so we should hurry up and improve our cultivation. If we encounter a powerful Ascension Wheel expert, we will be able to fight him off."

With his palm stroking Zhaoxu repeatedly, Kong Ju resisted the urge to try out the bow and put it into the storage bag.

He then turned his gaze to the two alchemy furnaces in front of him.

Regardless of whether he could successfully break through the shackles of the Ninth Realm in the next period of time, the refining of the Small Broken Mirror Pill must be put on the agenda.

He already knew the characteristics of the Golden Furnace, so of course he had to try the black furnace first.

As Kong Ju's mind moved, the countless elixirs he had collected in his Qiankun bag filled the ground.

Most of them were materials for refining Guyuan Dan. Because they were cheap, he prepared a few more.

There are only three sets of materials for the Minor Breakthrough Pill.

The first thing he wanted to refine was naturally the Guyuan Pill.

After sorting out the materials for the Guyuan Pill, Kong Ju closed his eyes, slowly exhaled, and began to refine the pill.

Place your palm on the black furnace and inject materials to fuel the furnace.

Bang! A dark purple flame immediately rose from the bottom of the black furnace.

This was not the first time Kong Jue had refined the Guyuan Pill.

Open the lid, add the medicine, and refine it all in one go.

The time required to refine all the medicinal essence of the elixir needed for the Guyuan Pill is almost one-third longer than when using the Golden Furnace.

Obviously, the black furnace is not as good as the golden furnace in the process of refining medicinal power.

Kong Ju didn't care either.

Continue to the next step.

Fusion of medicinal power.

As the black and purple flames burned slowly under the alchemy furnace, Kong Ju used his spiritual power and the heat in the furnace to blend the medicinal power of more than ten kinds of spiritual medicines together and repeatedly refined them.

Until they are completely blended together and the thick elixir essence turns orange-yellow.

The next step is the final one, making the pill.

The spiritual power that Kong Ju injected into the alchemy furnace suddenly became rapid.

They transformed into a powerful force and slapped onto the thick elixir essence that had been kneaded into a ball.

Bang! The ball of elixir essence was immediately broken up and divided into three equal parts.

It was then separated by Kong Ju's spiritual power, and slowly cast into a round shape in three directions in the furnace with the help of the power of the rising flames in the furnace.

This process lasted about a cup of tea.

The three balls of elixir essence had already taken shape as the Guyuan Pill, and as the pill furnace continued to refine it, bright colors appeared on the pill.

That is the elixir coat of the Guyuan Pill.

Such a striking pill coating proves that this batch of Guyuan Pills has at least 70% medicinal efficacy and is a good quality product.

"Good luck!" Kong Ju nodded with satisfaction, just as he was about to open the stove cover.

Suddenly, a purple light flashed from inside the black furnace, at the position of the furnace lid.

Bang! The light shone on the three orange-yellow Guyuan Pills.

Under Kong Ju's astonished gaze, he could sense that changes had taken place inside the three Guyuan Pills. Even the bright pill coating had a faint purple hue.

The sudden accident made Kong Ju stunned for a moment, and then he interrupted the spiritual power input into the alchemy furnace.

"Let's see what's going on!" Muttering to himself, Kong Ju opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.

Three orange-yellow Guyuan Pills with a faint purple hue on their pill robes appeared in Kong Ju's sight.

He reached out his hand cautiously and took three Guyuan Pills, which were of good quality and still had a faint residual warmth.

Put it in front of your eyes and observe it carefully, and keep sniffing it with your nose.

Soon a strange look appeared on his face.

"It has a little more medicinal power than the good quality Gu Yuan Dan I refined before, but the increase is not obvious. It has not yet reached the level of a fine product. It should have 75% of the medicinal power."

Looking at the three purple Guyuan Pills in his palm, Kong Ju's gaze shifted to the black pill furnace.

He seemed to understand the characteristics of this black alchemy furnace.

Improve the quality of the elixir, even if only halfway.

But sometimes, half-finished medicinal power can bring about a qualitative change in the refined pill.

"A pill furnace that can improve the quality of pills is indeed a treasure!"

Kong Ju first put the Guyuan Pill into the jade bottle, and then began to carefully observe the black pill furnace in front of him.

The surface of the furnace is carved with patterns similar to those of a turtle shell.

The outlet for discharging the medicinal residue was refined into a shape similar to a turtle's head. After the furnace cover was closed, it looked like an old turtle.

Because the source of the purple light that just shot out and improved the quality of the elixir was the furnace cover.

Kong Ju even took off the stove cover and looked inside.

In the depression of the stove cover, there is a piece of black and purple tortoise shell inlaid.

Because the carvings on this black alchemy furnace were all in the shape of tortoise shells, Kong Ju had previously overlooked its existence.

"The reason why the quality of this black alchemy furnace has been improved must be related to this tortoise shell." Kong Ju couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Because the fire in the alchemy furnace had just dissipated, there was still some residual heat in the entire furnace.

The tortoise shell was still cold.

But other than that, Kong Ju didn't notice anything different.

"No matter what this tortoise shell is, it has already become one with the alchemy furnace. I'd better not move it." Kong Ju thought so and slowly closed the furnace lid.

Based on the shape and characteristics of the alchemy furnace, Kong Ju gave it a name.

"I'll call you Turtle Furnace from now on."

After saying that, Kong Ju patted the turtle furnace and started refining the next furnace.

Because each furnace has differences in the alchemy process.

In order to familiarize himself with the characteristics of the tortoise furnace as quickly as possible, Kong Ju used the tortoise furnace to refine a total of five batches of Gu Yuan Dan materials.

It took half a day and all five furnaces of Guyuan Dan were successfully refined, without a single failure.

I don't know if it's because Kong Jue's alchemy skills have improved or for some other reason. The quality of the five furnaces of Gu Yuan Dan is pretty good, three furnaces are good quality, one furnace is finished, and the best furnace is already a fine product with 80% of the medicinal strength.

With the medicinal power of the turtle furnace, it directly increased to 85%.

Just by holding the furnace of fine Guyuan Dan in his hand and smelling it, Kong Ju felt his whole body unblocked.

"This fine Guyuan Pill can save lives at critical moments!" Kong Ju hurriedly put it into the jade bottle, fearing that its medicinal power would evaporate.

Then he twisted his neck which was a little stiff from making elixirs for a long time.

There was no trace of fatigue on his face, instead he said with a bright look in his eyes: "While the feeling is good, let's start refining the Little Mirror Breaking Pill!"

Kong Ji had no experience in refining the Small Broken Mirror Pill.

Combined with Dan recipe.

He knew every step of the Little Mirror Po Dan.

Open the furnace! Add medicine!

As the flames at the bottom of the turtle furnace rose, the fragrance of medicine filled the Lingquan Cave.

Although the Small Broken Mirror Pill is only a first-grade pill, it is undoubtedly more difficult to refine than the Guyuan Pill among the first-grade pills.

There are more than twenty kinds of spiritual medicines that need to be refined.

Kong Ju was not in a hurry. He proceeded step by step, steadily refining each spiritual medicine.

However, because there were too many elixir essences and there was some repulsion between the essences of each elixir, it took a long time for the medicinal power to merge, consuming nearly half the time of the Guyuan Pill.

Despite the increased time and difficulty, Kong Jue managed to do it without any mistakes, and the process went surprisingly smoothly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

As the lid of the alchemy furnace flashed with purple light.

The first batch of small broken mirror pills came out.

Ding! The furnace cover opens.

Two longan-sized, bluish-white pills appeared in front of Kong Jue.

A light layer of green Danyi reflects the light.

The appearance of the elixir coat proves that the quality of this batch of small broken mirror elixir has reached good quality.

And the tortoise furnace has enhanced the medicinal power.

The medicinal power of these two small broken mirrors reaches 75%.

It is worthy of being called the Little Broken Mirror Pill. Kong Ju only took a breath of the medicinal fragrance of the pill, and the speed of the spiritual power running through his meridians increased by almost 30%.

"Haha, it worked!" There was a look of genuine joy on Kong Ju's face. He was not only satisfied with the power of the Xiao Pojing Pill, but also happy about the improvement in his strength that taking a pill of this quality could bring to him.

After carefully putting the two realm-breaking pills into the jade bottle.

Kong Ju started to work on the second furnace.

Boom! A loud explosion was heard in the quiet and chaotic place in the middle of the night.

The shock wave formed by the explosion of the medicinal power contained in the Small Broken Mirror Pill rushed out of the Lingquan Cave along the passage.

A large area of ​​black haze was formed.

"Cough cough cough!" Accompanied by violent coughing sounds, Kong Ju's pitch-black figure ran out of the cave in a panic.

"Damn it! I almost got blown to death!"

As an alchemist, furnace explosion is a common occurrence.

Kong Ju waited until the smoke cleared, then turned back inside and cleaned up the messy Lingquan Cave.

Kong Ju was not discouraged. He cheered up and started refining the third furnace.

The previous good luck seemed to have ended with the explosion of the furnace of small breakthrough pills.

The third batch of small broken mirror pills can only be considered a finished product.

"Alas, it turns out that it is not so easy to refine elixirs of top quality." Kong Ju sighed, wiping the black ash still left on his face.

However, it is comforting that this time Kong Ju's success rate in refining the first-grade elixir is already quite high.

Only one out of eight furnaces was wasted.

This proves that Kong Ju’s current skills not only make him a qualified first-grade alchemist, but also that he is very outstanding among first-grade alchemists.

After washing up, Kong Ju, feeling refreshed, began to retreat and break the shackles of the Nine Realms.

Just as he had planned before, he would try to break through the level by himself first.

If you cannot break through to the ninth realm before the Qinghu blessed land opens, take the realm-breaking pill and force a breakthrough.

"I must enter the ninth realm!" Kong Ju's firm voice sounded in Lingquan Cave.

Then it fell silent.

Time flies, autumn goes and winter comes.

It was early autumn when Kong Jue went into seclusion.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the cold winter season. The outer disciples of the Cangwu sect were dressed in silver uniforms, and snow fell from time to time in the cold wind.

Shangguan Yuzhou recovered from his injuries and walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion in the second month of Kong Ju's retreat.

The two of them had not met each other for nearly two years, due to some strange coincidences, including the year when Kong Ju was in a coma.

However, he also learned from Feng An that Kong Ju had returned and was in seclusion, so he did not disturb the latter.

In the third month of Kong Ju's retreat, Shangguan Yuzhou was called to the inner gate by Dongxian again and has not come out since.

In addition to Shangguan Yuzhou, Huangfu Wuqin also brought Mu Xiaoye to visit Kong Ju during Kong Ju's retreat.

However, after realizing that Kong Ju was in seclusion, Huangfu Wuqin had no choice but to take Mu Xiaoye away.

Apart from that, the Cangwu Sect was peaceful and nothing major happened.

Just as the date of the Qinghu event approaches.

The Wudong cultivation world began to become lively.

Countless sects began to recruit disciples and select candidates to enter the Qinghu blessed land.

The same is true for Dingyue Sect, Mosheng Sect, and Yaowang Valley.

Various independent cultivators who are well-known in the Wudong cultivation world are also preparing to enter the Qinghu blessed land.

As the once-in-five-year Qinghu Festival approaches, the entire Wudong is in a state of agitation.

In addition, it is worth mentioning the changes in the Hidden Dragon List during this period.

The Dragon King Yuan Xiao successfully broke through the ninth realm, and at the same time was blessed by the dragon's evil and protected by the mighty power of the strong.

During this period of time, he has challenged the masters on the Hidden Dragon List one after another and has officially entered the top 30 of the Hidden Dragon List.

In the end, he lost to Han Honghua, the emperor flower who ranked 22nd on the Hidden Dragon List, and stopped at 23rd.

After Han Honghua obtained that top-quality long stick, her strength increased greatly.

Moreover, as they are both physical cultivators, Han Honghua is a physical cultivator genius that Mo Sheng Sect has not seen in a hundred years. She is far ahead of Yuan Xiao in her understanding of Gang Jin.

Even though he had the essence of heaven and earth in him, which gave him the strength to challenge Han Honghua, he was still a step behind.

The Wudong cultivators speculated that if Han Honghua was given a portion of the Essence of Heaven and Earth, she might even have the ability to break into the top ten of the Potential Dragon List.

In addition to Han Honghua and Yuan Xiao who shined during this period.

There are also changes in other rankings on the Hidden Dragon List.

But they are all below 30.

Among the top 30 geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List, except for one who was kicked off the list because he was over 30 years old, only Yuan Xiao made it.
