Jiuhua Mountain.

Safe cave.

Inside the alchemy room, the fire was blazing. Outside the red fish furnace, three red-scaled fish appeared, circling around the furnace and breathing out flames.

The spiritual charcoal was burning under the alchemy furnace, and heat waves were surging in the alchemy room.

Shen Lian sat cross-legged three feet away from the alchemy furnace. He made some hand gestures and the golden fire spiritual power flowed into the alchemy furnace.

This is the newly inherited method of controlling fire through the fire spirit, which can transform fire spirit power into a formed flame and increase the temperature inside the alchemy furnace.

After being promoted to the foundation-building stage, his Tianyan Fire Domain supernatural power was also strengthened, making the true fire formed by the fire spiritual power even more intense.

As a result, the spiritual charcoal that was purchased was suppressed by the foundation-building true fire.

“Buzz——”

Sensing that the main medicinal ingredient of the spirit-gathering root, the spirit-gathering flower, in the alchemy furnace had melted into a viscous state, Shen Lian cast a spell and the furnace cover immediately flew up.

"Thousand Vine Grass, Moon Spirit Fruit..."

More than a dozen auxiliary medicines that had been placed on the side turned into streams of light and entered the alchemy furnace.

The furnace cover fell again, and the golden flames surrounded the furnace again.

Inside the furnace, more than a dozen first-level herbs quickly melted into liquid and merged into the spirit-gathering flower juice.

After the juice of dozens of herbs was blended, Shen Lian seized the opportunity and began to use the soul-raising technique to purify the liquid medicine bit by bit.

This is very important for the quality of the elixir.

Inside the alchemy furnace, as golden rays of light poured in, the dark green medicinal liquid continued to vibrate, and strands of impurities were removed.

The aroma of medicine also began to spread.

When there were no more black impurities in the dark green liquid, Shen Lian's hands glowed with spiritual light and he began to practice the pill-forming method.

Inside the furnace, a ball of dark green elixir liquid twisted and changed its shape. Shen Lian's mind cut towards the elixir liquid like a knife, dividing it into eleven portions in one go.

But then his mind paused, and two of the elixirs dispersed and merged into the remaining nine.

The quality of elixirs is also very important for cultivators.

After a cultivator refines a elixir, the medicinal power is assimilated into his own spiritual power. However, the tiny particles of impurities are not easy to refine and will only be absorbed into the meridians, blood and flesh.

If things go on like this, more and more impurities will be absorbed into the meridians, which will cause blockage in the flow of spiritual power in the meridians, making the casting process not smooth, and thus affecting combat effectiveness.

Pills of inferior quality have the most impurities.

Top quality pills also contain impurities, but the content is very small.

As for whether the Daodan quality elixir contains impurities, Shen Lian has not been able to figure it out, so he can only talk about it in detail later when he has the chance.

The nine portions of elixir liquid in the cauldron were slowly rotating, and a faint purple light flashed from the dark green.

Shen Lian did not stop and chanted the spell again. Another three portions of elixir liquid spread out and merged into the remaining six portions of elixir liquid.

Now, the purple tone in the elixir became even more brilliant, forming a red cloud of blue and purple, and a richer medicinal fragrance overflowed from the elixir furnace.

"Congeal!"

The golden-red flames enveloped the alchemy furnace again, and the three golden-red fire fishes began to rapidly revolve around the alchemy furnace.

Inside the alchemy furnace, the remaining six portions of elixir liquid quickly solidified and turned into six blue and purple interwoven pills.

The furnace lid was opened, and heat waves rolled in. Shen Lian used his magic power to wrap the six pills and held them in his palm.

The Soul Gathering Pill produced six pills, all of which were of top quality.

There were two fewer pearls than the expected eight in one furnace, but Shen Lian didn't care.

Six top-quality Spirit Gathering Pills have stronger medicinal power, and one is stronger than three.

The Spirit Gathering Pills that were sold outside for 450 spirit stones each were of low-quality. He could easily sell them for double the price.

The pills you take should naturally be good ones.

Then sell it to other Taoist friends and refine it into lower quality ones.

After putting the pill into the jade bottle and extinguishing the fire, Shen Lian sat down and reviewed the pill refining process.

Even if he had the alchemy skills inherited from the 'Anwen' system, it didn't mean he could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. Some things could only be appreciated after personal experience.

The inherited alchemy technique is powerful, but it cannot produce Taoist-grade elixirs.

After combing his hair for a while, Shen Lian took out the herbs he had purchased earlier and placed the second-level Spirit Gathering Grass in front of him, examining it carefully.

This furnace can produce six top-quality Spirit Gathering Pills, and the power of the purchased herbs is also crucial.

Although these herbs were all cultivated by cultivators, their age and medicinal properties have met the standards.

In the following time, Shen Lian started refining two more batches of Gathering Spirit Pills, producing seven and five pills respectively, one of which was of medium quality.

This made him sure that the problem was not with his craftsmanship, but with the strength of the herbs he purchased.

If you want to produce more high-quality Spirit Gathering Pills, you need herbs that are older and have stronger medicinal properties.

Originally there were sixteen portions in total, and it was estimated that one hundred and twenty-eight herbs for gathering spirit and true essence pills would be produced.

Afterwards, Shen Lian refined twenty-three top-quality Huiling Pills, which could quickly replenish the spiritual power consumed by the foundation-building cultivators.

He had the elixirs for cultivation, and as for the fasting pills, he had refined them before. When he reached the stage of foundation-building, absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, the feeling of hunger had long been less.

Next, you can officially start practicing and go to sleep.

The medicinal power of the top-quality Spirit Gathering Pill really surprised Shen Lian. He took one Spirit Gathering Pill and it took him thirteen days to refine it before the medicinal power was completely absorbed into his Dantian.

The five elements of spiritual light surged around his body. Shen Lian looked inward and saw tiny particles of medicinal residue in his meridians.

The remaining residue from the pills taken during the previous Qi training period was removed from the body during the foundation-building period.

The impurities produced by taking the top-quality Spirit Gathering Pill are very rare. At this level, it won't be a big problem for him to practice for two years and then eliminate the impurities in the medicinal power.

It takes an average of five to ten years for a foundation-building cultivator to break through a level, which is considered a good state of cultivation. As for those who take more than ten to twenty years, or even longer, to break through a level, Shen Lian will not compare them, as they are too weak.

He expected that he would be faster. Although his four spiritual roots of gold, wood, water and earth had just entered the middle-grade category, his fire spiritual root was perfect, and he had plenty of high-quality elixirs. He would be able to be promoted to the second level of foundation building within two to three years.

With the replenishment of elixirs, Shen Lian's training plan also entered normalcy.

Every morning I refine the medicinal power, in the afternoon I draw talismans and prepare herbs, and in the evening I accumulate insight points and divine insight points.

After being promoted to the foundation-building stage, sleep is no longer necessary. Even if you are really tired, you can recover quickly by meditating and resting, and circulating your spiritual energy.

Under such circumstances, Shen Lian began to have some insights during the twelve hours every day, whether he was refining the medicinal power, drawing talismans, or preparing herbs.

Of course, he cannot predict the appearance of insights. When his mentality is stable and his mood is good, insights will appear more frequently.

Occasionally, a moment of enlightenment would pop up.

Shen Lian enjoys days like this.

It's safe.

…

This day.

Shen Lian adjusted his breathing to regulate the circulation of spiritual energy in his body, and stood with his hands behind his back in front of the talisman table that Dahei had chewed out with his mouth.

On the talisman table, the mysterious jade marrow, talisman pen, and second-grade top-quality spiritual ink were placed one by one.

Shen Lian took out a jade box from his storage bracelet and opened it, revealing a scarlet talisman pen.

This talisman pen is of the upper second grade, and is named Red Wolf.

In order to draw a jade talisman that could contain and upgrade its power, he spent a huge amount of money.

All the necessary preparations have been made. Whether or not it can be nurtured into a third-level talisman depends on whether God will be so.

Drawing jade talismans is different from drawing ordinary talismans. It requires mixing spiritual ink with mental power and engraving the talisman patterns into the chalcedony.

After the jade talisman is successfully engraved, use ordinary talismans of the same type as firewood to form a talisman sequence, and place the jade talisman in it to absorb the power of the ordinary talismans.

During this process, a large amount of ordinary talismans are needed as nourishment, and there is a possibility of failure along the way.

Finally, refine the jade talisman into your body, and when facing the enemy, you can summon it with the corresponding spell, similar to a disposable attack weapon.

Shen Lian first refined the Red Wolf Talisman Pen. This talisman pen was strong enough to be used as a magic weapon. He dipped the talisman pen into the spiritual ink, but did not start drawing talismans. Instead, he sensed the violent aura in the second-grade superior spiritual ink.

As his divine consciousness sank into the spiritual ink, he could sense the fragmented spirituality contained in the spiritual ink. These spiritualities were constantly colliding, giving rise to a violent aura.

Fortunately, the top-grade spiritual ink had already been mixed, and with his foundation-building level, he could barely control it.

In this way, Shen Lian spent a whole day to find the fusion point between his divine consciousness and spiritual ink, and finally adapted to the brutality of the spiritual ink, and most of his divine consciousness was also consumed.

For this reason, he stopped to rest for a few days and restored the strength of his spiritual power.

After finding the harmony between his divine consciousness and spiritual ink, he began to draw the Xuanling Jade Talisman.

The talisman pen was dipped in spiritual ink, and the divine thoughts gathered on the spiritual ink at the tip of the pen like a thread, and sank into the Xuanling Jade Marrow.

Strands of spiritual ink blend with vague divine thoughts, interweaving and outlining the internal structure of the chalcedony, forming a wonderful rhythm.

When the ink lines in the chalcedony were complete, red light lit up along the lines, outlining a ball of red flame that rose up.

Shen Lian's figure suddenly took a few steps back, and the second-level jade talisman was completed.

The red flame danced for a few breaths before it retracted into the jade talisman.

In order to ensure the success rate, he drew the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talisman.

Shen Lian stood still, looking at the solidified red lines on the jade talisman in deep thought.

With a flick of his finger, golden flames began to dance on his fingertips.

"Can you bless the Tianyan Fire Realm magical power to increase the power of the jade talisman?"

Please keep reading. It will be recommended on Sanjiang tomorrow afternoon, and there will also be a new book that will be strongly recommended on the homepage, so when it will be put on the shelves depends on the effect of subsequent recommendations.

I need your help, thumbs up.
