The recipe given by the Black Bird Venerable was completely different from the alchemy that Chen Luo had been exposed to before. The alchemist in the external brain had never seen this kind of refining method. This was an alchemy method in a world he had never been to. This was normal. After all, the world of immortal cultivation was so big, and there were so many places he had never been to. Even if Brother Changqing was resurrected, he would not dare to say that he had been to every corner of the world of immortal cultivation.
"Don't worry, even if it is destroyed, our deal still stands." Black Bird Venerable said as he took out another jade slip and threw it to Chen Luo.
"This is the news from the demon tribe. I'll give it to you in advance."
After completing the transaction, Chen Luo stopped talking nonsense and began to familiarize himself with the medicinal properties according to the records on the pill formula.
boom!
A cloud of black smoke rose.
Chen Luo ran out of the alchemy room in a state of embarrassment, with black smoke still coming out of his body. A stench of burning spread everywhere, and the Black Bird Venerable who was dozing off on the side did not react and accidentally took a breath. Then he saw his eyes rolled back and fell from the tree with a bang, his legs facing the sky and twitching continuously.
"It didn't work again?"
Another brand new black bird appeared on the medicine cabinet next to it, without even glancing at the 'self' who died beside it. During this period of time, Chen Luo had been trying to refine the 'Yanghun Pill', but the difficulty of this pill exceeded Chen Luo's expectations. He fired more than 20 furnaces in a year, but not a single pill was successful.
"The medicinal properties have not been extracted, there are residual impurities, and there are also restless ghosts."
Chen Luo did not respond to the Black Bird Venerable beside him. He just talked to himself, and the external brain in his mind kept summarizing his experience of failure.
Gurgling
A ball of water rose out of thin air in the courtyard, forcibly lowering the temperature of the furnace's surface. The dust and impurities on the surface were also washed away by the water ball, and the restless ground fire also settled down and returned to the bottom of the furnace.
The spiritual energy dissipated, and soon a new round of alchemy began.
Venerable Black Bird was already accustomed to the sight of spiritual materials flying all over the sky. He was indeed shocked when he saw it for the first time. He did not expect Chen Luo's alchemy technique to be so special that the same person could control more than 200 kinds of medicinal materials at the same time.
"Where's the Soul-Withering Grass? Why is it gone?"
When the spiritual power swept across a drawer, Chen Luo's unpleasant voice rang out.
"Refill immediately."
The Black Bird Venerable flapped his wings and flew back to the inn in front. Not long after, the three bald swordsmen flew over with a pile of spiritual materials. Before they could classify the spiritual materials, the spiritual medicines inside flew out by themselves.
Extremely precise, without any error.
“This is too much.”
The bald swordsman swallowed his saliva and looked at the scene in front of him in shock. He had seen a few alchemists before, but he had never seen anyone making pills like this.
"Hurry up."
The Black Bird Venerable urged impatiently. These three people asked him a few questions, and as a price, they would work as errand boys in the Youyuan Inn for a hundred years.
That's the rule.
The path of cultivating immortals for a casual cultivator is never smooth.
After placing the herbs, the three of them reluctantly left the backyard. The alchemy room was an important place, not a place for servants like them to come. If they wanted to make friends with the alchemist, they had to wait until the alchemist was free.
Three days later.
Waves of heat came from the furnace. The temperature in the backyard rose a lot under the influence of these hot air.
"Done?"
The Black Bird Venerable accepted the seven black pills from Chen Luozhong, and felt a little confused. This thing didn't look like it was edible.
"It should be refined."
Chen Luo himself was a little uncertain. This was his first time refining this kind of elixir. Being able to make the elixir and not exploding the furnace was already the biggest improvement. He himself could not guarantee the efficacy of the medicine.
The Black Bird Reverend picked up a pill and put it under his nose to smell it. A strong smell of sulfur mixed with a sour smell rushed straight to his head. If he hadn't seen Chen Luo take out the seven pills from the pill furnace with his own eyes, he would have thought they were poison pills.
"Is this thing really edible?"
Lord Blackbird looked doubtful.
"It's definitely edible!" Chen Luo said with certainty.
"Try?"
The two fell silent at the same time. Seven lonely black pills were placed on the tray beside them, still emitting black gas.
This is the Yanghun Pill!
For a sixth-grade elixir, ordinary animals cannot produce any results at all. It is necessary to find a cultivator at the spirit-refining level to try it in order to see the effects.
"What are those three fellow Taoists doing? I haven't seen them for a long time."
Chen Luo suddenly spoke.
Lord Blackbird glanced at Chen Luo and instantly understood what he meant.
This kid has a really evil heart!
"It's been a long time since I last saw them. These three have performed very well recently. We have to reward them."
The Black Bird Reverend coughed, a black light flashed above his head, and he began to transmit his voice.
"Luneng, Fang Zhonghai, Tian Gou, the three of you come to the backyard."
Chen Luo next to him glanced at the Black Bird Master and showed the same expression on his face.
After a brief silence, the three of them came to the backyard one after another.
The bald swordsman still had a happy expression on his face. It was rare to have the opportunity to get close to the alchemist, so he had to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, he might not meet the other party after leaving Youyuan Inn.
As soon as they entered the yard, the three of them noticed something was wrong. The backyard, which was usually hot, was not that hot today. The alchemist who entered the inn with them did not make the elixir anymore, but sat on the side with the Black Bird Venerable. When he saw the three of them come in, he nodded with a smile. The Black Bird Venerable was even kind enough to change the seats for the three of them and let them sit down and talk.
"You three have performed well recently. I have a few top-grade elixirs that can improve your cultivation. They are rewards for you."
Reverend Blackbird said with a kind smile.
"ah?"
The three people who had just sat down also noticed the black pills on the tray next to them and suddenly fell silent.
How many of the immortal cultivators who can cultivate to the Spiritual Transformation Realm are fools? The seven black objects in front of him did not seem to be elixirs at all.
"Eat, you're welcome."
Seeing that the three people did not move, Black Bird Venerable very enthusiastically used his spiritual power to wrap up the three elixirs and flew them in front of the three people one by one.
When it comes to testing the elixir, one pill is enough.
In case the pill is genuine, it won’t be wasted too much.
"Venerable Sir, I am not hungry."
The bald swordsman Luneng forced a smile and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but the Black Bird Master was even more ruthless. While he was about to open his mouth, he threw the pill directly into his mouth.
Seeing this, Tian Gou and Fang Zhonghai, who were about to speak, immediately shut their mouths and refused to say anything.
“Ahem!!”
Luneng quickly bent down and tried to spit out the pill he had swallowed. Unfortunately, this pill was a top-grade product that Chen Luo had spent more than ten days to refine, and it melted in his mouth. In this short period of time, the pill had turned into spiritual liquid and merged into Luneng's body.
Luneng, who was coughing, turned pale, and a cold and evil spirit like a ghost emanated from him. His legs and feet became translucent. The most exaggerated thing was that his bald head had long black hair, and his eyebrows and eyes became more delicate. The pure yang energy on his body dissipated, his chest bulged, and his thighs became slender.
Fang Zhonghai and Tian Gou, who were standing nearby, were so frightened that they fell down on the sidelines and quickly moved away.
The way he looked at the two pills also changed.
How could this be a magic pill? It was clearly a magic pill! Luneng, a sword cultivator who practiced the Zhengyang sword technique, had his yang energy completely dissipated after taking this pill. His beard and scars were all gone, and he became a delicate young lady. Even the spiritual power attributes in his body changed!
"Not dead?"
Luneng stretched out his limbs and sensed it, and found that he was not dead, and his cultivation had improved a lot. The human race that was originally unable to break the limit of the incarnation of the spirit now showed signs of breaking through the middle stage of the incarnation of the spirit.
"Brother Lulu?"
Fang Zhonghai tried to shout.
"Brother Fang, are you calling me?"
Luneng turned around and smiled. His voice was pleasant to the ears. His originally rough and ugly face now looked particularly good-looking, and he was inexplicably moved.
What a messed up idea!
Fang Zhonghai quickly collected his thoughts, ignored Luneng's address to him, and asked another question.
"How are you now?"
"Good, better than ever!"
After Luneng finished speaking, he looked at the Black Bird Reverend again, stood up and bowed respectfully to the two of them.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the elixir."
The already dark face of the Black Bird Venerable became even darker. He ignored Luneng and looked at Chen Luo next to him.
"Are you sure this is Yanghun Pill?"
"Ahem! There was a slight accident and my Yang energy is a little low."
Chen Luo coughed awkwardly.
It was the first time he refined this grade of elixir, and he also used ghosts and prohibitions, so it was inevitable that he was a little unfamiliar. However, he had recorded the mistakes he had made this time, and he was sure that the next time he refined the elixir, he would not have these problems.
How can you say that you lack Yang energy? It's all Yin energy!
After a hasty response, he sent the three people away again. Seeing that they didn't need to test the pill, Tian Gou and Fang Zhonghai both breathed a sigh of relief, but before they left, they took the black pill in front of them into their arms.
Regardless of Luneng's current state, his cultivation has indeed been improved. If he is desperate in the future, it is not unacceptable to grit his teeth and become a woman!
"I'll adjust the ratio."
After seeing the three people off, Chen Luo didn't waste any time and quickly mobilized the alchemist in his external brain to start a new round of alchemy journey.
Time flies.
Another half month.
Chen Luo once again refined a furnace of pills, and this time the success rate was extremely high, refining twelve pills at once. Unlike the dark pills from the last time, the pills refined this time were very round, and the surface no longer emitted black smoke, but white smoke instead.
Reverend Black Bird looked at the elixir in front of him and fell into silence again.
One person and one bird, sitting side by side.
In front of him was a tray with twelve pills on it.
"How about calling them again and trying?"
Chen Luo spoke up.
It would definitely not work if he tried the pills himself. Although these pills were made by him, he himself had no confidence!
"Last time, Luneng was turned into a woman. They will definitely not come this time." Black Bird Venerable sighed.
The reason why the "Yuanyuan Inn" has been floating in this void for so long is its reputation. The Black Bird Venerable will never force people who come here to trade to do something they don't want to do. Even if it is just menial work, it is mutually beneficial.
But after this incident, the inn’s reputation will definitely be in jeopardy.
There is a high probability that the label of a black shop will be tarnished.
"If they don't come, can't you take the initiative? For example, mix the elixir into the food they usually eat, or dissolve it and mix it with water for them to drink." Chen Luo was very considerate and helped Black Bird Venerable think of dozens of methods, and each one was different. (End of this chapter)
