Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled. He recalled what Jiang Daoguang had told him before: the Third Elder's disciple had died at the hands of a group of people from the First Elder's faction.
Currently, the people under the First Elder's faction are investigating Li Yunguo's death, but three more people have been killed during the investigation. He suspects that this may be related to the people under the Third Elder's faction.
"Shh!"
An inner disciple quickly made a hand gesture, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
Some things are best kept to ourselves; we should never reveal them.
Don't forget, we are from the First Elder's faction. If the Third Elder's faction hears this, they might bring about their own demise.
The higher-ups also said that even during the day, as long as we assist in the investigation, it is best to travel in groups of three to five, so that we can look out for each other.
Also, during this period, do not leave the Qingfeng Gang premises unnecessarily.
Lin Xiaofei slowly walked down the corridor, overhearing their conversation, and began to guess what was going on.
He guessed that the First Elder might be secretly dealing with the Third Elder's faction; otherwise, there would be no need for them to travel together even during the day.
After wandering around the Qingfeng Gang for a while, Lin Xiaofei returned home, went to the backyard room, and entered the spatial bead.
Because he needed to prepare to refine elixirs and didn't want Jiang Daoguang to see it, he knocked Jiang Daoguang unconscious and gave him a sleeping potion, preventing him from waking up for a long time.
Lin Xiaofei opened a large package, took out the items one by one, and said in a low voice:
Two jars of the essence blood of the Golden Mountain Boar, one bottle of the essence blood of the Black Serpent, thirty Illusionary Bright Grasses, and more than ten kinds of auxiliary medicinal herbs.
He took out the medicinal herbs, a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The Strength Pill, Body Protection Pill, and Poisonous Beast Pill in the Hundred Medicines Record are still rare pills that can be helpful to cultivators. He plans to refine some of them as well.
Of course, this time he would first refine a Grade One Magic Explosion Pill, which is of a much higher grade than Stamina Pills and Body Protection Pills.
However, before he could refine the Magic Explosion Pill, he needed to refine a kind of Spirit Transformation Powder.
During the refining process, the Spirit Transformation Powder needs to release its own spiritual energy. Before the Spirit Transformation Powder is formed, it can absorb a portion of the spiritual energy. Finally, other medicinal materials are taken out, and in this way, the Magic Explosion Pill can be refined.
It should be noted that Lin Xiaofei is skilled in alchemy, but not very knowledgeable about pill refining.
However, it doesn't matter, as the art of alchemy and the art of pill refining have similarities and can be learned from each other.
Once he refines the Magic Explosion Pill, according to the description on the pill formula, after a cultivator consumes the Magic Explosion Pill, the power of any spell cast will increase by at least 10%, or even 20%.
He had considered that, given his current level of skill, it would still be somewhat difficult to use smoke magic against a second-rate expert.
If one takes the Magic Explosion Pill, which increases the power of spells by 10%, the effects of the spells might be different, and one might be able to contend with ordinary second-rate masters.
However, the materials for refining the Spirit Transformation Powder could not be found in Qingshan Town, so it could not be refined, and therefore it was even more impossible to refine the Grade One Magic Explosion Pill.
Fortunately, he had already memorized the formula for the Magic Explosion Pill and knew how to refine it before he started.
This time, he went to see Senior Wang Qingliang. According to what the other party said, he learned that once he went to the black market, if he couldn't produce something decent, no one would do business with him.
Wang Qingliang also said that there are occasionally some good things in the black market, and if you have enough spirit stones, you can buy them directly.
However, Lin Xiaofei had less than a hundred spirit stones, which was pitifully little, equivalent to a poor person among rogue cultivators.
However, in order to obtain the method of Qi refining, he planned to make a careful plan.
Inside the spatial bead, he planted a few low-level spiritual herbs, which were far from enough for him to exchange for things on the black market.
Therefore, he planned to refine more elixirs and pills so that he would have the capital to exchange them.
"The higher the quality of spiritual energy, the better the effect of the refined Spirit Transformation Powder, the easier it is to refine the Magic Explosion Pill, and the better the effect of the pill will be."
Fortunately, in Canyon County, there are places that sell the essence blood of various exotic beasts. Otherwise, I would have had to go deep into the mountains to find exotic beasts and collect their essence blood. This essence blood contains a trace of spiritual energy, which would be perfect as one of the materials for Spirit Transformation Powder.
Lin Xiaofei reached out and picked up a jar of the essence blood of the Golden Mountain Boar, poured it into the alchemy furnace, lit a fire under the furnace to dry it, and then ground it into a blood-red powder.
Next, he took out various medicinal herbs and ground them into powder.
Half an hour later, all the medicinal materials had been processed and prepared before they began their work.
"I'm going to start refining pills. I hope I can succeed in refining them in one go. That way, I'll have another skill to learn."
Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly, wasted no more time, took out a calming pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then, he went to the alchemy furnace.
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the prepared beast essence blood powder and discovered that it faintly emitted a spiritual aura.
These spiritual essence blood powders can be helpful in refining elixirs.
After taking the calming pill, Lin Xiaofei's distracting thoughts were gradually eliminated, and his mind quickly became focused.
Without hesitation, he picked up a small porcelain bottle containing powdered essence blood of a strange beast.
Then, his spiritual energy surged into the essence blood powder, greatly increasing its spirituality.
Then, it was slowly sprinkled into the alchemy furnace. The essence blood powder seemed to have a special power, which was wrapped in the alchemy furnace.
While sprinkling in the essence blood powder, Lin Xiaofei used his other hand to quickly perform alchemy techniques, picking up various prepared medicinal powders and sprinkling them one by one into the alchemy furnace.
“One difficulty in making Linghua Powder is to lock the spiritual energy within the powder. This requires certain alchemy techniques and the conversion of power to gradually allow the powder to carry the power of the spiritual energy.”
With the method of refining the Spirit Transformation Powder in mind, Lin Xiaofei rapidly transformed the powder with one hand. As his arm moved, it was as if a serpent was swimming around. He gradually demonstrated a complex and profound alchemy technique.
After a short while, Lin Xiaofei stopped waving his arms, shook his head, and sighed.
The first batch of medicine was a failure!
I originally hoped to succeed in refining it on my first try, but I was just daydreaming.
"This time, there was a slight discrepancy in the amount of medicinal powder used in the alchemy, which caused a problem."
Lin Xiaofei recalled the process of refining the medicine, realized where he had failed, shrugged, and said in a low voice:
continue."
The second attempt at refining the medicinal powder was somewhat better than the first, but it failed because too much spiritual energy was added.
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth, and so on.
Lin Xiaofei's arms moved with the grace of dragons and phoenixes, his movements never faltering. Each time he made a mistake in refining the medicine, he would reflect on the reason for the failure and then continue refining the powder.
An hour and a half later, he had already refined the fifteenth batch of medicinal powder.
The refining technique is like a water snake swimming, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the arms feel as if they weigh a thousand pounds, creating a special kind of momentum.
Finally, Lin Xiaofei stopped the last movement of the refining method.
In an instant, a flash of inspiration appeared in the alchemy furnace.
Originally, some special medicinal powders were fused with the essence blood powder of exotic beasts. After being processed by the alchemy technique, they were gradually changing, and the powder contained traces of spiritual energy fluctuations.
But soon, Lin Xiaofei frowned slightly.
Snap!
The medicinal powder, shimmering with spiritual energy, suddenly flew up with a soft sound, and a burnt smell wafted over.
"Failed again!"
Lin Xiaofei said something, thought for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, during the process of refining the Spirit Transformation Powder, the spiritual energy was integrated into the medicinal powder, but because the powder was too dry and had no moisture at all, the spiritual energy fluctuated slightly, causing the process to fail."
Lin Xiaofei felt a surge of excitement. Now he finally understood the reason behind the alchemy process. He thought to himself, "..."
The failure to refine the Spirit Transformation Powder was not largely due to my refining process.
Rather, it lacks even a trace of moisture; relying solely on the moisture in the air is insufficient, and failure is quite normal.
