Chapter 200: Old Black Forms Dan

Three days later.

Chu Ning opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, and a pill with a touch of colorful light flowed through it.

The elixir is ready.

Chu Ning had a smile on his face. With the help of the Secret Mirror, there were not too many surprises in refining the Return to Origin Pill.

However, from the steps given by the Secret Mirror, Chu Ning suddenly had a better understanding of this kind of special elixir.

Normally, pill refining involves either refining and purifying each medicinal ingredient individually, or purifying multiple medicinal ingredients together. Which method to choose depends on the strength of the alchemist himself.

But for this Return to Origin Pill, the steps given by the Secret Mirror are different from those of other grades of pills. During the purification process of the ten kinds of medicinal materials, three of them are only purified halfway. Then the purified medicinal liquid must be combined with the medicinal liquid of other medicinal materials to produce new medicinal liquid, and then the remaining half of the medicinal material will continue to be purified.

Therefore, it is possible that this kind of special elixir with no grade is not incompatible in terms of pharmacology, but has problems with the dosage.

Chu Ning recalled the chemistry knowledge he had learned in school.

The combination of several compounds, in different orders, will result in different chemical reaction rates and products.

The amount of each compound will also affect the final result.

Alchemy and chemical reactions are similar in nature.

"Next time I see You Xing, I don't have to just listen to this guy talking to me about theory. I can talk to him myself."

Chu Ning deduced the appropriate amounts of these medicinal ingredients from the steps of making the Return to Source Pill. It seemed like a simple thing, but for an alchemist, it was a priceless discovery.

The more precious the elixir, the more precious the medicinal materials. No alchemist has the luxury of constantly experimenting with medicinal materials himself, and can only rely on the records left by their predecessors.

For some common medicinal materials, you can buy pharmacology books and look up the relevant descriptions in the market, but any high-quality ones are difficult to buy in the market, and even if you can buy them, the price is definitely not cheap.

This is also the reason why the notes and experiences of high-level alchemists are extremely valuable in the alchemist circle. These notes and experiences are generally not leaked, and only the alchemist’s disciples can see them.

Chu Ning put the pills into the bottle, formed a seal with his right hand, and a stream of water shot out, flushing the alchemy furnace clean.

Every alchemist has his own little quirks. For example, those who believe in metaphysics will tidy up their instruments and choose an auspicious time before making the elixir.

Some alchemists like to talk to the alchemy furnace while making elixirs, and some drink tea while making elixirs. In short, they have all kinds of little quirks. It's not that alchemists cannot understand these little quirks, only alchemists can understand these quirks of alchemists.

Because some pills take a long time to refine, and many take three to five months to refine, it is easy to get tired if you keep staring at the pill furnace, so you need to divert your attention.

Chu Ning didn't have these little habits when he was refining the elixir. He just cleaned the furnace every time after he finished refining the elixir.

Every time the water column hit some of the medicinal residue in the alchemy furnace and restored the black alchemy furnace to its original state, he felt very relieved and swept away the fatigue from refining the alchemy.

After cleaning the furnace, Chu Ning pushed open the door of the alchemy room. Feng Wensu was already standing at the door waiting.

"I guessed that Mr. Chu would soon come out, so I came here to wait for him."

Feng Wensu explained, meaning to tell Chu Ning that she did not use her spiritual sense to spy.

"Senior Feng's calculations are really accurate. Hmm, the elixir has been refined."

Chu Ning did not keep the secret and handed the jade bottle to Feng Wensu. Feng Wensu had a look of joy on his old face. He took the jade bottle, opened it and took a look. When he saw the elixir inside, his old eyes lit up.

"Little friend Chu, you have worked hard in refining the elixir."

Feng Wensu arranged a yard for Chu Ning to rest and left in a hurry.

Looking at Feng Wensu's departing back, Chu Ning was sure that this pill was very important to the Feng family, so important that even this Senior Feng had lost his composure.

"Old Black, what do you think the Feng family wants to use this Return Source Pill for?"

The function of the Return to Origin Pill is to allow the bloodline to return to its ancestral state. This pill is effective for monsters. Many monsters have very powerful ancestral bloodlines, but as they are passed down from generation to generation, their bloodlines are diluted. There is a chance that the bloodline will return to its ancestral state after taking the Return to Origin Pill.

There is just a certain probability, but it does not guarantee that the ancestral bloodline will be successfully restored.

The success rate of this reversion is determined by the purity of the current bloodline of the monster taking it.

Chu Ning guessed that the Feng family should not simply give the medicine to the monsters that had signed a contract with the Feng family, so he asked Lao Hei out of curiosity.

"I can't guess. Generally speaking, it's very difficult to revert to one's ancestral bloodline after six generations. The Feng family has been passed down for so many years, so it must have been more than six generations long ago."

"Forget it, let's not guess anymore. Anyway, our goal is to help you form a pill. As for what the Feng family wants to do with this Return to Origin Pill, it has nothing to do with us."

If you can't guess, then don't guess. As for rest, for Chu Ning, three days of alchemy would not consume too much of his energy. However, he didn't plan to go out for a stroll. At his current level, there was nothing in the general market that could catch his eye.

…

…

He stayed in the yard for seven days, and after seven days Feng Wensu showed up.

"My dear Chu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Feng Wensu apologized to Chu Ning as soon as they met.

"You are too polite, senior."

"My dear Chu, I am here to fulfill my promise. Please follow me."

"good."

Chu Ning still likes the Feng family's clean and neat style of doing things.

Following Feng Wensu through the Feng family mansion, the two appeared on the stone bridge connecting the stone tower.

"City Lord, Mr. Chu has been brought here."

Feng Wensu stood on the stone bridge and spoke respectfully in the direction of the stone tower.

"Well, let them in."

A cold voice came from the stone tower. Feng Wensu explained to Chu Ning, "My dear Chu, this stone tower is a forbidden place of my Feng family. I can only take you here. My dear Chu, please go in by yourself. The city lord is waiting inside."

Chu Ning was a little surprised when he heard Feng Wensu's words. Feng Wensu could not enter the stone tower, but he, an outsider, could enter.

This logic doesn't make sense at all, but since the other person said so, he naturally won't ask any more questions.

Nodding to Feng Wensu, Chu Ning stepped towards the stone tower at the other end of the stone bridge. When he reached the end of the bridge, a vortex entrance appeared in the stone tower in front of him.

As he stepped into the vortex, Chu Ning felt the terrifying temperature, and the spiritual power around him autonomously formed a circle of protective shield.

Looking up, there were flames all around, and even lava erupting below, and right in front of him was a figure shrouded in flames.

So, this is the city lord? "Junior greets the city lord."

Chu Ning bowed, and a voice came from the flames: "My dear Chu, if you form the elixir here, you can avoid the thunder tribulation. You can choose a place by yourself."

“…”

"Thank you, City Lord."

Although he was confused for a moment, Chu Ning soon figured it out. This city lord should be a fire-attributed golden elixir and might be practicing some secret technique.

The stone tower had a large space, so Chu Ning chose a corner about thirty miles away from the city lord before stopping.

Since the city lord is also practicing secret arts, I should stay away from him and try not to disturb him.

After choosing the location, Chu Ning looked indifferent, but the next moment he suddenly looked excited and shouted, "Old Black, come out."

Hiss! A roaring hissing sound was heard, and Lao Hei's figure, which was ten feet long, flew out of Chu Ning's body.

The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. This guy tried to imitate others' cool appearance and wanted to roar, but he couldn't roar at all and still looked like a snake flicking its tongue.

So shameful.

In the center of the stone tower, there was a figure wrapped in flames, and the flames on his body trembled a few times.

"You've made me lose all my face." Chu Ning scolded Lao Hei.

"This is not your fault. If you weren't so passionate, would I have done this?"

Lao Hei turned the tables.

"I'm not passionate at all. I'm just a little excited when I think that I don't have to be held back by you anymore. What level are you? Don't you have any idea of ​​your status?"

"I'm a male!"

Chu Ning: ...

The two men exchanged a telepathic argument, and finally Chu Ning was defeated. Lao Hei snorted triumphantly and began to wander around the area.

"This environment is not very good. There are flames everywhere. I'm afraid I'll suffer when I'm forming the elixir."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Are you going to get married or not? If not, we'll leave." Chu Ning glared at Lao Hei unhappily.

"Bah, I'm at the Jindan stage, and it's easy for people to misunderstand what you said, a scumbag."

Chu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "You are a man, can you not be so dramatic?"

"Oh, yes."

Lao Hei reacted.

…

…

At this moment, Feng Ange was absorbing the essence of the underground fire while his spiritual consciousness was also paying attention to the man and the snake in the corner.

When she heard Chu Ning's high-spirited words before, she thought that Chu Ning's natal demon beast was a ferocious tiger or wolf, but it turned out to be a snake.

What made her even more speechless was that it was just a snake, but this snake had to imitate the roar of a wild beast.

This man and beast are really...

It seemed that this Chu Ning was somewhat in conflict with the Chu Ning she knew.

The Feng family would find Chu Ning, and naturally they had conducted a comprehensive investigation on Chu Ning, from the time Chu Ning entered Wenjin City to the time he went to Xiyue Sect...

Based on the information from the investigation, it was concluded that Chu Ning's attainments in alchemy were extraordinary, and at the same time, Chu Ning should be a person who was extremely good at forbearance.

He is a person who is extremely good at forbearance and his style of doing things is relatively calm, but why does she find that Chu Ning is not calm at all.

Is it a misjudgment?

…

…

In the corner of the stone tower, after Lao Hei wandered around for a few circles, a faint light began to shine on his body, and Chu Ning also became ready.

I had talked so much nonsense with Lao Hei before, actually just to make jokes and dispel the anxiety in my heart.

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to be so anxious about forming a pill.

But there was no way, because the two of them, a man and a snake, had lived together for 50,000 years. If anything went wrong, the cost would be huge.

It's like a car race. Generally, unknown racers won't think too much about it because they have bought insurance and know that even if the car flips over, there won't be any major problems thanks to the protection mechanism. At most they will be injured and recuperate for a while.

But what if you are a billionaire? Even if you know that current racing cars are designed to be very safe, you will still be worried.

If an accident happened, not only would one life be lost, but also hundreds of billions of wealth would be lost.

Swoosh! Chu Ning raised his right hand, and two puppets appeared around him, forming a triangle that surrounded Lao Hei. In addition, Chu Ning also held a medicine bottle in his hand, so that if Lao Hei encountered any accidents, he could also bear the thunder tribulation for Lao Hei.

Lao Hei was not idle either. He opened his mouth and spit out a dozen pills that floated around.

These pills were made by Chu Ning specifically to increase the power of monsters or instantly restore their power.

Feng Ange was speechless again when he saw this scene.

Didn't Elder Feng tell Chu Ning that the stone tower could block the thunder tribulation? What Feng Ange didn't know was that their judgment of Chu Ning was only half right. Chu Ning was not only good at forbearance, or forbearance was just a characteristic.

Stability! This is what Chu Ning pursues, and forbearance is just a manifestation of stability.

Even though he knew that the stone tower could block the thunder tribulation, what if? Lao Hei was not from this world, and he had a lifespan of 50,000 years. Who knew if the formation of the elixir would be different from that of other monsters? He had to take all these factors into consideration.

Fortunately, no accident happened.

The light on Lao Hei's body flowed, from beginning to end, repeating back and forth endlessly.

Three days later, a piece of pure black snake skin fell off Lao Hei's body.

Chu Ning was not surprised when Lao Hei shed his skin, because Lao Hei had already told him what would happen when he formed a pill.

The molting will happen in total, and as long as nine moltings are successful, it means that the pill has been formed successfully.

One month later! Lao Hei successfully shed his skin for the second time, and his skin was still black.

The molting time is longer each time.

Feng Ange noticed this side with his spiritual sense, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Snake demons usually succeed after molting twice, but this black snake has not yet condensed a demon pill. Could it be some special bloodline among the snakes? Six months later, Lao Hei succeeded in molting for the third time.

After Lao Hei shed his skin this time, his body was no longer pure black, and the color of his four paws began to turn white.

Chu Ning was relieved after confirming that Lao Hei was not in danger. However, according to Lao Hei's molting speed, it would probably take more than ten years for him to complete nine molts.

I can't just sit there and watch this go on for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning closed his eyes and started practicing.

Chu Ning activated the Unmovable As A Mountain Technique and felt energy surging from the flames below, feeling a little surprised.

He is a wood-attributed golden elixir. Apart from absorbing spiritual power, he is unable to absorb energy from the other four attributes.

The energy beneath these flames is of the fire attribute, and logically I should not be able to absorb it.

Chu Ning looked inward at his Dantian and found that the mountain in his Dantian began to rotate. As the mountain turned a circle, the golden elixir in his Dantian changed color.

The original green golden elixir turned into a red golden elixir.

Red belongs to fire.

So his golden elixir changed from wood attribute to fire attribute.

Can the Immovable Mountain Technique also transform the golden elixir attributes? Chu Ning's eyes were shining. Practicing the Immovable Mountain Technique was his best choice.
