Inside the alchemy room.

The elixir fire was swirling, and balls of black and white light were swirling out from the elixir furnace. Later, the black and white mist covered the entire alchemy room.

Next to the alchemy furnace, Shen Lian's expression also became serious.

The nine black and white pills in the furnace were spinning around and affecting each other. One of them made a "puff" sound on the spot, and the black and white color quickly dimmed, turning into a waste pill that fell to the bottom of the furnace.

"puff!"

Soon, another pill was affected by the other pills and turned into a waste pill and cracked.

After noticing the changes in the alchemy furnace, Shen Lian opened his mouth and spit out a ball of five elements spiritual fire, driving away the fire spirit outside the alchemy furnace.

The five-colored spiritual fire immediately formed a five-colored pill nest in the alchemy furnace, slowly covering the remaining seven pills and stabilizing the turbulence between the pills.

This scene frightened Qian Dai outside the alchemy room, and he kept wiping his sweat.

The next moment, the seven black and white pills in the furnace collided with each other two by two, and the remaining one was surrounded by the five-colored spiritual fire.

When the pills were combined, the medicinal strength doubled and the quality also improved.

Shen Lian frowned. Among the remaining four pills, one was of low quality, two were between low and medium quality, and the remaining one was of medium quality.

Then, he separated a strand of his divine consciousness and landed it into the divine consciousness of Qian Dai who was guarding nearby.

"Brother Qian, now is the time to collect the pills, or try to see if you can synthesize one of the best quality."

Before refining the Yin-Yang Dual Life Pill, Qian Dai specially ran back from outside and told everyone the whole reason for refining the pill.

Qian Dai’s minimum guarantee is that he can produce two pills.

During the refining process of the Yin-Yang Dual Life Pill, it is easy for Yin and Yang to collide. This is why the previous two pills became useless.

In addition, the main medicine for refining the pill brought by Qian Dai has just reached the medicinal level, and the medicinal power is not that strong. This can be seen from the quality of the four pills in the pill furnace.

After combining two into one, it turned out that two of the synthesized pills did not even reach medium quality.

Upon hearing Shen Lian's voice transmission, Qian Dai, who was already very nervous, was stunned for a moment.

How to choose? High quality and low quality, even with his full stomach he can figure out which one is better.

"Brother Lu, can you at least leave one of the pills?"

The pills were tumbling in the fire, leaving Qian Dai no time to think, and he quickly calmed himself down.

"If I can leave a finished pill, I'll melt it!"

…

Outside the alchemy furnace.

Shen Lian placed his hands on the alchemy furnace, and the magic power in his body surged, covering the entire furnace in five-colored spiritual fire. In fact, he did not need to do so. After refining to this level, he could just take the pill directly.

Unfortunately, Qian Dai gave too much.

He can't always be so dishonest.

If one uses inferior quality Yin Yang Dual Life Pills to refine one's natal spirit corpse, and the initial compatibility between the spirit corpse and the original body is 30%, then if one uses superior quality Yin Yang Dual Life Pills to refine one's natal spirit corpse, the initial compatibility between the spirit corpse and the original body will be increased to 80% or even 90%.

If the degree of compatibility is high, it will be of great benefit when one is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage.

Rumble! In the alchemy furnace, the black and white elixir was washed by the five-colored spiritual fire. The collision between yin and yang was no longer sharp. Instead, under the baptism of the five elements, the intersection of yin and yang became more rounded.

Using his spiritual power, he separated a pill and placed it in the corner. Shen Lian then placed his spiritual power on the remaining three pills.

The three black and white pills were enveloped by the five elements. The medicinal power was released from the pills separately and gathered together to form a new black and white pill.

The process of extracting the drug's effects is very slow and very mentally taxing.

Of course, all is within Shen Lian's control.

In order to make his alchemy skills seem not that high, and to show how difficult it is to refine high-quality pills, he also added some drama to himself.

Including but not limited to the condensed technique of vomiting blood, mental fatigue caused by excessive consumption of spiritual energy, a shaky body, etc.

Inside the alchemy furnace, pure medicinal power was continuously extracted from the three black and white pills. The newly formed pill liquid continued to concentrate, and the color became increasingly a blend of black and white, with a strong medicinal aroma.

Until ten days later.

"open!"

When the pill in the alchemy furnace took shape, black and white formed mist around the pill. Shen Lian, who was in a depressed state, shouted softly, made a hand gesture, and opened the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, Qian Dai, who was guarding outside, also shuddered.

“Buzz!”

The lid of the alchemy furnace flew up, and hot medicinal vapor rushed out of the furnace. A black and white spiritual light swept out, and the fragrance of medicine filled the air.

Swoosh! Swoosh! As the black and white pill energy rolled, two black and white pills flew out and were caught by Shen Lian.

The two Yin-Yang Pills are not the same size. The big one is as big as a longan, and the surface is covered with pits and marks, but the colors are black and white interwoven, and overflowing with spiritual light.

The appearance is not very good, but the quality is of top quality.

The other one is one-third smaller and looks quite round on the surface, but its quality is just inferior.

Shen Lian casually threw two pills to Qian Dai and waved his hand, "Let me sleep and then we'll talk."

Qian Dai took the pill in a hurry and was about to speak when he found that Shen Lian walked out of the alchemy room and went towards the training room. He immediately waved his hand to signal the maid next to him to follow and serve him.

Qian Dai held two still-hot pills in his chubby hands, bared his teeth, and a smile appeared on his fat face, and then he laughed.

A top-quality Yin-Yang Dual Life Pill.

He has made sure to make Mr. Lu Daoyou his friend.

The Yin-Yang Double Life Pill is several times more difficult to refine than other pills of the same level. In addition, the Yin-Yang Double Life Flower, which serves as the main ingredient, is even harder to find. It can only be born at the junction of life and death.

This boundary between life and death is not the place of reincarnation in the underworld, but the place where a massacre broke out, in which all the immortal cultivators in the city were slaughtered, forming a place of death.

Then he rebuilt the city here and used the vitality of the monks to suppress the resentful souls.

Over time, the vitality of the monks and the resentful energy of the dead monks merged, and a black and white flower was born from the creation of heaven and earth.

This flower has no roots or leaves, it just floats there, and occasionally you can see a grimace or a smiling face on its petals.

Qian Dai took out a box and carefully put the two pills into it.

"Young Master, Master Lu is recuperating. I have already sent him the elixir to restore his energy and spirit."

Momo came over and whispered back. Qian Dai nodded and said, "You wait here, I'll go back..."

At this point, Qian Dai waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Anyway, the elixir has been refined. It doesn't make any difference whether I go back a day earlier or a day later. I'll just wait here for two more days."

He took out the top-quality Yin-Yang Pill and took a look at it again. Although the surface was not so beautiful, the quality was good and Qian Dai still couldn't let it go.

"Oh, right, go get the Xuanming Stone from the treasury..."

Qian Dai gave an order and asked Momo to do it immediately.

Shen Lian helped him refine the top-quality Double Life Pill. On a larger scale, this was related to his path of cultivation, and it also proved that his efforts over the years were absolutely worth it.

Such friends must be protected fiercely.

…

Inside the practice room.

Shen Lian sat in meditation and adjusted his breathing. He had been refining the pills for such a long time. Even though he took breaks in the middle and ate various spiritual fruits to replenish his stomach, he was still very tired.

Although he couldn't go against his conscience this time because he was being watched, he didn't intend to do so either. It was just a pity that so many furnaces of elixirs were wasted in order to cover up his alchemy skills.

Half a month later, Shen Lian woke up and walked out of the training room, but was immediately blocked at the door by Qian Dai who had rushed over.

"Friend Lu, have you had a good rest?"

The two of them came to the living room of the cave and sat down. Qian Dai stood up and bowed to Shen Lian.

"Thank you, Brother Lu, for this time."

Qian Dai stood up and clasped his fists towards Shen Lian. He also understood that the fact that he could produce a top-quality Double Life Pill was the result of the good relationship he had with Shen Lian over the years.

Otherwise, why would Shen Lian risk his energy and spirit to refine a top-grade pill for him using the blood refining method? It was common for alchemists to explode their furnaces while refining pills. Even if Shen Lian's furnace exploded during the refining process, he had to admit it.

Qian Dai stood up. He could see that Shen Lian was not lying. "Brother Lu is right. I am wrong."

"Brother Qian, just go and do what you want. You don't have to wait for me."

At this time, Shen Lian spoke. During the half month that he was recuperating, Qian Dai often stood at the door of the training room and watched, but he did not dare to disturb him.

I have to say, this fat guy is really good at it! Shen Lian didn't even want to cheat him, and wanted to exchange his sincerity with him.

Qian Dai chuckled, he really wanted to leave, but he felt that he still had to maintain his relationship with Shen Lian, so he didn't mind wasting more time.

"Brother Lu, are you ready to leave Wanxinghai?"

"Yes, go out and take a walk. Wherever you go is fine."

Shen Lian nodded and did not hide anything.

"The Wanxing Sea is too small. I plan to go out for a walk in a few days. Maybe we can meet outside."

Qian Dai echoed the words.

The two chatted for quite a while and said their farewells. Since they were both cultivators, they were not reluctant to leave.

Before leaving, Qian Dai gave Shen Lian a storage ring.

"The road is long and the mountains are high, but we will meet again in the future."

Off the coast of Qianyu Island, Shen Lian and Qian Dai bowed and said goodbye to each other.

"Take care."

Leaving behind a few words, Shen Lian turned into a stream of light and disappeared at the end of the sea and sky.

Qian Dai watched Shen Lian go away, then turned back and said to the maid, "Clean up everything in the cave, get rid of Brother Lu's aura, and get a group of sea tribes and monster tribes here to make this place completely dirty."

"yes."

…

After leaving Qianyu Island, Shen Lian headed north.

This time he returned to the Wanxing Sea and gained a lot. He killed Zi Yang and founded the Butian Sect (with one disciple and himself as the spirit of the sect). Unfortunately, he did not lure out the monks from the Exiled Immortal Tower in the process of setting up the trap.

It wasn't that he wanted to fight the Exiled Immortal Tower head-on. Shen Lian knew he didn't have the ability yet, so he wanted to know himself and the enemy, and observe the monks of the Exiled Immortal Tower from afar, so that he would be prepared in case he met them in the future.

Sitting on the Five Elements Ship, Shen Lian took out the storage ring that Qian Dai had given him, and immersed his spiritual sense into it to sense it.

There aren’t many things, but it’s very luxurious.

There are three pieces of raw Xuanming Stone, each of which has four hazy silver-gray lines on it, and all of them are fourth-level.

With these Xuanming stones, he could create a small teleportation array that could accommodate ten Bu Tian Lings.

After retracting his spiritual thoughts, Shen Lian rubbed his forehead.

"Fat brother, you're making it very difficult for me."

Three pieces of fourth-grade Xuanming stone ores are worth a lot of money, at least hundreds of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones.

The key is not the issue of spirit stones, but the problem that it is difficult to buy spirit stones even if you have them.

This is also too much.

…

In the following time, Shen Lian drove the Five Elements Ship all the way north, crossed the inner and outer seas of the Wanxing Sea and entered the South China Sea continent.

If the Tiannan Continent wants to go north, there is only one way to go.

It is to go north from the Wanshan Region and Qianyue Region in the west, and then enter the Tiannan Central Continent.

As for the Tianzhu Mountains in the central part or the Ten Thousand Demon Realms in the east, they are both too dangerous.

After entering the mainland area of ​​the South China Sea, Shen Lian, who passed through several cities in succession, clearly sensed the changes in the situation in the area.

The president of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce really advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

The Yunshang Sect was also really hit hard, and the female cultivator with five spiritual roots hiding in the sect was forcibly abducted.

"This actually gives Black Cliff an advantage."

Based on Shen Lian's understanding of Heiya, this guy is best at taking advantage of troubled waters. If he really is lurking in Yunshang Sect, Yunshang Sect will most likely be defeated by him this time.

When he arrived at the Tianzhu Mountain mining area, Shen Lian stopped for a moment.

Ore is produced here, so we can develop another believer here to provide ore assistance.

…

Sea of ​​​​millions of stars.

Xuanshi Sect.

In the tomb belt that stretches around the island, ashes from the burnt paper money float in the air. One can also hear some monks who have purchased the business of "a dragon crying for their ancestors" kneeling in front of the tombstones and crying loudly.

Deep in the island, in the side hall next to the main hall, Qian Dai looked left and right.

"Why hasn't Master come out of retreat yet?"

Qing Ming sat cross-legged behind a black wooden table, holding a scroll in his hand and looking at it quietly, without responding to Qian Dai's words.

"How long will it take for Master to come out of retreat?"

"Junior brother, please be patient."

…

"The master has come out of retreat, please come over."

Hearing the voice, Qian Dai and Qing Ming were delighted, and then headed towards the main hall.

In the main hall, black curtains were floating without wind. On a round bed several meters in size, a beautiful monk with a jade crown on his head was sitting cross-legged, looking at the two figures that came in.

"You've gained weight again. It seems that you still haven't mastered the repulsion between your spirit and body."

Master Yinmei looked at Qian Dai and frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"Master, please understand that the gap between my body and soul is not easy to eliminate."

Qian Dai scratched his head. There had been some problems with his soul and body since he was born. At first he even suspected that he was the reincarnation of some powerful being who had not developed well.

"By the way, I have asked someone to refine the Yin-Yang Dual Life Pill, Master. Please take a look."

Hearing the voice, Master Yinmei was stunned for a moment.

"Master, rest assured. I secretly found someone to refine it. I guarantee it will be safe and there will be no leaks."

Yin Mei didn't say anything. Instead, she stretched out a fair white hand from behind the curtain and grabbed the jade box that Qian Dai had taken out with a whoosh.

When the jade box was opened, two pills, one large and one small, of different shapes were revealed, emitting a strong black and white medicinal power.

"This pill can only be made by a master with five spiritual roots. Have you found a fourth-level master?"

"No, third-level alchemist, this matter started several decades ago, back then..."

Qian Dai told the story in detail.

While listening to Qian Dai's story, Yin Mei carefully examined the two pills.

After checking it out, she felt certain that there was nothing wrong with the pill.

Qian Dai finished speaking with a dry mouth and looked at Master Yinmei, "Master, how about these two pills?"

"In fact, when our sect was at its peak, we could only find one furnace of materials to refine the Yin-Yang Dual Life Pill every thousand years, and we might not be able to refine top-quality pills every time we opened the furnace."

Hearing this, Qian Dai patted his head.

"Alas, I didn't deliver enough."
