After a moment, Wu Daozi said with some regret: "It's a pity that it is only a medium-grade one, and it does not have seven stars. It has some flaws! But..."
Wu Daozi glanced at Xu Feng and said with a smile: "After refining this pill, my alchemy skills have also broken through to the fifth-grade alchemist. I will have a better chance of refining the third-level golden pill again!"
Xu Feng nodded. When Wudaozi was refining the Dragon-Tiger Seven-Star Pill, he guessed that Wudaozi wanted to improve the level of his alchemy skills, so he first refined a furnace of Seven-Star Pills and then refined the Three-Transformation Golden Pill, which would give him a better chance of success.
After refining the Seven Star Pill, Wudaozi sat cross-legged in front of the pill furnace and closed his eyes to meditate. Just like when he failed in the previous refining attempt, he was summarizing and reviewing the entire refining process in his mind to find out what he had missed.
After a long time, Wudaozi slowly opened his eyes. A gleam of light appeared in his eyes. He stood up with a confident look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, this is our last chance, we will definitely be able to succeed in refining it!" Wudaozi said confidently.
Looking at Wudaozi, Xu Feng suddenly had an epiphany. Until now, he seemed to have not really entered the main mission. From entering this world until now, it seemed that he was just participating in a cutscene. The real protagonist should be Wudaozi in front of him.
Wudaozi began to refine the third-level golden elixir. This was his last chance, but it did not seem to affect Wudaozi. In Xu Feng's eyes, Wudaozi's movements became smoother and he became more confident this time.
After Wudaozi put all the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, he closed the lid and glanced at Xu Feng.
"Use the strong fire for a quarter of an hour!" said Wu Daozi.
At this time, Xu Feng was like a tool. He did whatever Wudaozi said and kept fanning the fire with a fan, not daring to slack off at all.
The alchemy process lasted from night to early morning. By this time, the sky in the east was already turning pale. The snake demon, the scholar in white, appeared not far from the alchemy furnace at some point. Although the scholar in white had not appeared for these three days, Xu Feng believed that the scholar in white must have known every detail of their alchemy process, otherwise he would not have suddenly appeared here when the alchemy was about to end.
At this moment, wisps of medicinal fragrance wafted out from the alchemy furnace. Upon smelling this aroma, the little demons around seemed to be drunk, with red cheeks, blurred eyes, and they all staggered to the ground.
Xu Feng smelled the fragrance of the medicine and began to have hallucinations. At this moment, Wu Daozi suddenly shouted in his ears: "Concentrate your mind and calm your breath. This is the pill tribulation. Once you fall into the illusion, the pill refining will fail!"
The third-level golden elixir is different from other ordinary elixirs. At the last stage of refining, there will be a pill tribulation. Hallucinations are just one of the tribulations. If it fails, it means that the refining has failed. But the most serious pill tribulation is the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulation. Once it appears, if it is not overcome, not only will the refining of the pill fail, but even the alchemist who refined the pill will be blown to pieces.
If Wudaozi's alchemy skills can continue to improve, he will be able to refine the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill in the future. At that time, he will be able to experience firsthand how powerful the most powerful pill tribulation is.
Hearing Wudaozi's reminder, Xu Feng woke up instantly and subconsciously glanced at the Immortal Binding Rope on his wrist. If there was no Immortal Binding Rope to restrain him, this pill tribulation would not have any effect on Xu Feng at all, not to mention his spiritual fortress. Even his previous talent of iron will could easily avoid being confused by the pill tribulation illusion.
After this experience, Xu Feng suddenly became alert, and even tried his best to hold his breath and no longer smell the medicinal fragrance coming from the alchemy furnace. With Xu Feng's cooperation, Wudaozi's subsequent alchemy process went very smoothly, and not long after, a dazzling golden light began to burst out of the alchemy furnace, and this golden light penetrated the furnace, as if the bronze alchemy furnace was transparent.
Seeing such a strange sight, the snake demon and the white-clothed scholar behind him also showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
When all the golden light was gathered in the furnace, Wudaozi began to step on the Yu Step and circled around the furnace. Every time he circled, he would slap the furnace with his palms. Xu Feng watched carefully from the side, not even daring to look at it, not daring to miss any details.
This is a unique Taoist technique for collecting elixirs. The previous several attempts at refining the elixir had failed and had not reached this step. This time, perhaps, was Xu Feng's only chance to secretly learn the method of collecting the elixir while refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.
After Wudaozi turned nine times, he finally stood in front of the alchemy furnace.
"Borrow the power from Qiankun, borrow the method from Wuji, the pill is done, get up!" Wudaozi shouted softly, and the furnace cover flew out with a "bang", and a golden pill floated out from the furnace.
This pill was the size of a soybean, shining brightly and golden, as if it was made of gold. On the surface of this pill, there were three faint lines, like dragon patterns. At first glance, it looked like three golden dragons were swimming in the pill. "Third-turn golden pill!" Wu Daozi showed a touch of joy on his face, took out a jade bottle, pinched his fingers, pointed at the golden pill, and shouted, "Collect!"
The golden elixir suspended above the alchemy furnace shook slightly twice, but did not fly into the jade bottle as Wu Daozi had controlled;
Wudaozi's face changed slightly. He held the bottle in his left hand and made quick finger gestures with his right hand.
"Why don't you put the golden elixir into the bottle now? When will you do that?" Wudaozi shouted, and at the same time a ray of spiritual light appeared on his fingertips. He swung his right hand violently, and the spiritual light was immediately thrown out, like a thin spiritual rope, tying up the golden elixir floating above the alchemy furnace.
"Collect it for me!" Wudaozi used up almost all his strength and pulled it back violently. The third-level golden elixir finally flew into the jade bottle in Wudaozi's left hand with some reluctance.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Hoo, hoo! I finally succeeded!" Wudaozi sat down on the ground. Although his face was full of fatigue, his eyes were frighteningly bright. He took a few deep breaths and finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud towards the sky.
Clap, clap, clap~ Just then, the snake demon scholar in white clapped his hands and slowly walked up, his narrow eyes full of admiration.
"Awesome, awesome. I didn't expect that you could actually refine the third-level golden elixir!" The scholar in white praised, glanced at Xu Feng, and his gaze finally fell on Wudaozi.
"If you can refine the third-level golden elixir, then I can fulfill my previous promise!" The scholar in white said, "Tomorrow is the elixir appreciation meeting held by Ling Xuzi, and all kinds of demon kings and monsters have been invited. With your third-level golden elixir, I, the scholar in white, will definitely win the first prize in this elixir appreciation meeting, hahahaha!"
After saying this, the scholar in white rolled twice on the ground, and the white snake tail behind him disappeared, replaced by a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar.
"Why don't you two come with me to the elixir appreciation meeting tomorrow, so that those fools can see what the orthodox Taoism and the authentic Xuanmen are! What do you think?" The scholar in white said with a smile on his face.
