Furnace Sand is a kind of spiritual sand produced in Singapore. It is often spread inside alchemy furnaces by alchemists to absorb the poison of the elixir, hence the name Furnace Sand. However, its absorption capacity is very limited. It can only absorb two or three points out of ten erysipelas. But surprisingly, it has the function of identifying the content of erysipelas.
Place the finished pill on the sand in the furnace. If it is yellow, the erysipelas content is about 4-5%; if it is red, the erysipelas content is about 6-7%; if it is purple, the erysipelas content is about 8%; if it is black, then it is a completely poisonous pill and cannot be taken at all. Therefore, major alchemy shops classified elixirs into grades according to their quality. Yellow elixir was the top grade, red elixir was the middle grade, purple elixir was the bottom grade, and there were also light yellow elixirs that were considered the best grade.
But in recent years, due to the general environment, top-grade pills and even nine-turn pills have become rarely seen. With the depletion of spiritual energy, the decline of the way of heaven, and the breaking of the ladder to heaven, spiritual stones, spiritual objects, and spiritual medicines will gradually become extinct, and this continent will eventually perish.
In such a harsh environment, Nanhua Danxing unexpectedly harvested several non-toxic pills. Needless to say, the shopkeeper was very excited. With trembling hands, he took out a plate of furnace sand and said respectfully, "Fellow Daoist, please come in."
Lin Dan poured four pills into the sand table and waited quietly.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sand in the furnace was still pure white, without showing any color. In other words, these pills really did not have any poison at all! The shopkeeper's heart, which was already beating so fast, almost jumped out of his throat. Hearing the heavy breathing of the people around him, he quickly called all the monks guarding the shop to come and protect the few pills and Lin Dan. He also hurriedly hung up the closing sign to avoid interference from outsiders.
"Master, please come upstairs, please!" The shopkeeper ran out of the counter with a sand table in his hand, and bowed and invited Lin Dan to the VIP room on the second floor for a private talk.
Lin Dan stepped forward, and Le Zhengjiu followed immediately because he was afraid that she would suffer a loss. The several Xuanji Sect disciples who came with them were all stunned. It took them a long time to regain their ability to speak: "Really, is it really a non-toxic pill? How did she make it?"
"The furnace sand that Nanhua Danxing obtained itself should not be fake."
"Da Huan Dan and Hui Ling Dan are the most commonly used elixirs and the most practical ones. If these two kinds of elixirs were free of elixir poison, wouldn't it be much more convenient for us in the future? Nowadays, spiritual energy is becoming increasingly thin. If we can swallow Hui Ling Dan without any scruples, it will be much faster than practicing through meditation! Moreover, if we get injured, we can recover better than before, and we don't have to worry about the accumulation of elixir poison, which will add to the injury. This is a great blessing for the cultivators of the entire Nanhua Continent!"
"If these pills are indeed real, I will definitely stockpile several hundred bottles!"
"A few hundred bottles are not enough, I want to buy thousands of bottles!"
Several Xuan Ji Sect disciples were whispering and discussing among themselves, completely forgetting how much they looked down on Lin Dan in the past. Liang Jinxi lowered his head and smiled sarcastically. After not seeing each other for two years, Lin Dan is still so stupid. Does she think she is still the young master of Wuji Sect? Does she think she is still the most promising genius in South China Continent? Now she is just a down-and-out, helpless, and low-level Foundation Establishment cultivator who has been abandoned by the sect, but she has created such an amazing elixir. What greets her is not praise and admiration, but endless plunder and exploitation.
Not to mention how others would covet the recipe in her hand, the Wuji Sect alone, which loves to suck blood, is enough to make her suffer. If she wants to protect these pill recipes, she must have the strength and power to match them. But unfortunately, she has neither of them now, and the end result is nothing but a waste of time and effort, or even worse, she may even lose her life.
Liang Jinxi shook his head, the smile in his eyes deepened, but when he glanced at Le Zhengjiu walking beside Lin Dan, his expression froze. Yes, she almost forgot that even if everyone betrayed Lin Dan, this person would definitely protect her. The relationship between them is incomparable to that of ordinary people, because they are comrades-in-arms who can trust each other with their lives. No wonder Lin Dan asked Le Zhengjiu to wait for her just now, it was to find a backer for herself!
Liang Jinxi clenched the magic sword in his hand, and his heart began to churn.
While he was thinking, he arrived at the second floor. The shopkeeper invited all the alchemists in the shop to check the authenticity of the four kinds of elixirs, and took out another plate of furnace sand to test the poison content of the elixirs. The results were the same as before. All four kinds of pills were real and did not contain any poison. There was no need to worry about any effects on the body or cultivation after taking them.
"Master, could you please let us test the effect of this detoxification pill?" The shopkeeper stared at Lin Dan with burning eyes.
"Please." Lin Dan nodded slightly.
The shopkeeper immediately found a servant in the foundation-building stage to try out the pill. The servant was over 130 years old, very thin, with wrinkles all over his face, dull and cloudy eyes, and thick blue veins on the sides of his neck, forehead, and backs of his hands. These were symptoms of a severe case of the pill poison. He was a servant of the Nanhua Alchemy Company. Due to his job, he usually got some elixirs to promote his cultivation. Otherwise, with his poor aptitude of four spiritual roots, how could he have cultivated to the foundation-building stage?
But even so, he had reached his limit, because the poison had completely corroded his body, blocking his path to advancement. There are tens of thousands of monks like him whose potential has been stifled by the poison, and this situation will only get worse in the future.
When the servant heard that the shopkeeper asked him to try the detoxification pill, his expression changed from nervousness to excitement. He bent very low and took a round, milky white pill that was sparkling with a bright light from Lin Dan's hand almost reverently.
"It will be a little painful." Lin Dan reminded gently.
"Thank you for the medicine, Your Excellency. I am not afraid of the pain." The servant swallowed the pill in one gulp, and after a short while he held his stomach and groaned. He chanted, and soon many dark brown beads of sweat flowed out. Their texture was very sticky and they emitted a foul odor, which made all the monks in the room feel dizzy.
But no one left first, but stared at the servant's every move with wide eyes.
Suddenly, the servant who was rolling on the ground in pain turned over and sat up, supported himself on the floor with both hands, and began to vomit violently. What he vomited was all black water mixed with some granular dirt. The air in the VIP room became increasingly unpleasant, but the owner and alchemist of Nanhua Danxing both showed ecstatic expressions, because the errand boy's wrinkled face became smooth at a speed visible to the naked eye. He really looked dozens of years younger in an instant, and the blue veins on the sides of his neck and forehead also disappeared, as if all the toxins had been eliminated.
After vomiting for a full quarter of an hour, the servant collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. His face was still covered with a layer of dark brown smelly sweat, but he laughed happily: "Boss, I feel so relieved! Let me take a break, and I'll practice a set of Thunder Fists for you later."
The shopkeeper smiled and agreed, and then told the other servants to clean the room and take the man downstairs to take a bath. After a while, the man came back. He had jet-black hair, a smooth face, bright eyes, and a voice full of vitality. At first glance, he looked like a young man in his twenties or thirties. Judging from his current physical condition, he can probably live another fifty or sixty years. And with the non-toxic Huiling Pills he takes every day, he will definitely be able to produce a golden pill. After forming the golden elixir, he will live several hundred more years. God knows whether he will encounter any great opportunity in these hundreds of years.
The servant was full of hope for his future. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed deeply to Lin Dan and then thanked the shopkeeper again and again for giving him the opportunity to try the medicine. The servants nearby were envious and jealous, and their eyes became extremely hot when they looked at the detoxification pill.
Several disciples of Xuan Ji Sect were so shocked that they couldn't utter a word. They never imagined that the effect of this detoxification pill would be so strong that it could instantly allow a person with inferior qualifications to have a pure body. The Immaculate Body, like the Nine Yin Body, is also a rare physique in the world. Only the fetus in the mother's womb can possess it. However, when the fetus is born, this physique will immediately be contaminated by the foul air from the outside world and no longer exist.
The physique that is not polluted by foul air is called a pure body. The speed of cultivation can be said to be rapid, and it has greater potential than the Nine Yin or Nine Yang bodies. But unfortunately, a pure body has not appeared in Nanhua Continent for 100,000 years, and Lin Dan's detoxification pill can restore the body of an adult cultivator to a pure state. Although it is only temporary, it can greatly promote this person's cultivation. As long as the servant seizes this time to practice well, the time for forming the elixir will not be far away!
For a moment, the shopkeeper's gaze towards Lin Dan was as hot as magma.
So Lin Dan had to explain: "My cultivation is not enough, so I can only refine detoxification pills that can only be taken by cultivators in the foundation-building stage. Although it will also be effective after being taken by cultivators with higher strength, it will not be as strong as this."
"This is more than enough!" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Your Excellency, please give us a price. We at Nanhua Danxing will take as many pills as you have!"
Lin Dan pondered for a moment and sent a secret message to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper did not hesitate at all and immediately asked people to prepare. He also sent a message to his boss, asking him to come in person, no matter how far.
Half an hour later, Lin Dan left Nanhua Danxing holding a heavy Qiankun Ring and found a place to stay nearby. Le Zhengjiu followed her closely, looking at the monks around him with a wary look. Several Xuan Ji Sect disciples wanted to buy medicine from Lin Dan, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it, and their cheeks turned red, looking very uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the residence, Lin Dan invited Le Zhengjiu to the inner room for a private talk. Le Zhengjiu nodded in agreement, then turned around and said to his fellow apprentices, "You guys go back first, I have something else to do. Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I will definitely not let him off!"
"Big Brother, can I stay?" Liang Jinxi asked hesitantly.
Le Zhengjiu stared at her expectant face and shook his head, "No."
Liang Jinxi pouted, as if feeling a little aggrieved, but still walked away obediently.
Only then did Le Zhengjiu set up numerous restrictions around the courtyard wall and walked into the inner room. Lin Dan had already brewed a pot of spiritual tea for him and said slowly, "Le Zhengjiu, I want to refine two kinds of divine pills, which may cause a lot of noise. I would like to ask you to protect me. You are the only person I can trust in this South China Continent."
Lin Dan no longer loved Le Zhengjiu, but that didn't mean she hated him. He had clearly rejected her time and again, and had never given her any unrealistic promises or hopes. All his pursuits were just her wishful thinking. He didn't love her, but at the same time, he tried his best to help her survive in this endless cycle. He gave her much more than he owed her.
Therefore, Lin Dan was grateful and thankful to him, so when he encountered difficulties, he thought of him first.
Le Zhengjiu laughed uncontrollably and said firmly, "Lin Dan, I will not let you down. Please leave your safety to me."
"Thank you." Lin Dan thanked him sincerely.
"You are only in the foundation-building stage now. Isn't it too difficult for you to refine a god-level elixir?" Le Zhengjiu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"No, I'm sure." Lin Dan shook his head firmly.
"Okay, when will you start refining the medicine? I'll protect you."
"Now, the process is a bit long, at least two or three days, at most one or two months, I'm not sure. I found a secret place, we will go now."
"Okay, no matter how long it takes, I will always protect you." Le Zhengjiu made a solemn promise.
Lin Dan smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything. Le Zhengjiu did always protect her, but that was only when she did not come into conflict with Liang Jinxi. But those are all in the past. Now that she has withdrawn from this three-person battle, she can look at this relationship with a peaceful attitude. In fact, it is also good to have a friend like Le Zhengjiu. If he promises you something, he will definitely do it. He is a very trustworthy person.
Lin Dan built a cave in the deep mountains and old forests to make elixirs, while Le Zhengjiu guarded outside with the Sword of Destruction and set up many barriers. At the same time, a shocking piece of news spread from Nanhua Alchemy Shop, saying that an alchemist named Lin Dan had actually made several non-toxic pills, one of which could directly remove the poison in the cultivator's body and form a temporary pure body.
Regardless of whether the news is true or false, the six words "no elixir poison, pure body" are worth all cultivators to find out. If the news is finally confirmed to be true, this alchemy cultivator named Lin Dan will definitely become the object of everyone's competition. But her cultivation was too low, and only God knew what kind of treatment she would suffer after being kidnapped.
If she was luckier, she might be imprisoned by a large sect and become a puppet; if she was unlucky, the recipe for the elixir would be stolen, and she would end up with her soul torn apart and no body left. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that in this cruel world of cultivation, robbery and plunder are the norm, and the alchemist surnamed Lin is likely to be in great danger this time!
The Nanhua Danhang, which was already crowded with people, suddenly saw a surge in customer traffic, and almost every customer would ask the shopkeeper whether the news was true or not. The shopkeeper pretended to be smiling and perfunctory on the surface, but when he returned to the back hall he almost exploded with anger.
"Who leaked the news? Didn't I tell you to keep it a secret? Go and find out. If you find that person, I will skin him alive!"
An alchemist reminded, "Boss, the news definitely didn't come from us. You forgot that after Master Lin left that day, you made everyone present swallow the silence talisman. Anyone who revealed the news would die on the spot! Therefore, I guess the news must have been spread by those people from Xuanji Sect."
"Aren't those people from Xuan Ji Sect very close to Master Lin Dan? Don't they know that Master Lin Dan's cultivation is low and once the news gets out, it will pose a great threat to her? The young master of Xuan Ji Sect treats Master Lin Dan very differently. I thought he would protect her!"
"Who knows the ins and outs here? After all, this is a big sect, so there are bound to be dirty things."
"Oh, no! We can't wait any longer, you guys hurry up and find Master Lin Dan, and make sure you protect her! I was originally thinking of sending her pills to an auction house, but now that's not possible. You see, the people who have been asking for information these days are just small fry and independent cultivators, and soon, those big sects and big forces will come one after another. Even if I want to keep Master Lin Dan secret, I don't have the ability to do so. They can dig Master Lin Dan out even if they dig three feet into the ground!"
The shopkeeper's worries were indeed necessary. Three days later, almost all the important figures in South China Continent came to this small town, and the video clips left by the errand boy when he was testing the medicine were also stored in the mirage pearl and sold by unknown people. Not to mention how fanatical the people who saw the video were, there was one person who was angry, annoyed, regretful and hateful.
"Father, is the person in the video really Lin Dan?" Lin Zeyu asked tentatively.
Lin Tianshui and several elders stared at a mirage pearl on the table for a long time in silence.
Lin Zeyu arrived late and was unable to see the image inside the mirage pearl, so he could only ask again.
Lin Tianshui's tone was very irritable: "Indeed, she is your sister. I didn't expect that after only two years of not seeing her, she has achieved so much!"
Lin Zeyu's eyes darkened for a moment, and before he could say anything, an elder sighed and said, "We shouldn't have sent her away in the first place."
"So what if I sent her away? Did I do something wrong? She is just an idiot. She made such a pill but didn't even inform me. I am her father, and I will definitely protect her. Isn't it better for her to take it and sell it outside recklessly? This evil child, why is he always so troublesome!" Lin Tianshui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Even if Lin Dan had refined the non-toxic pill, there was no way the Wuji Sect would take advantage of her, let alone force her to hand over the pill recipe, because he had sworn an oath with the sect's fortune to draw a clear line between himself and Lin Dan.
Lin Tianshui felt more and more unwilling to give up, and waved his hand and said, "Call the head of Qianyan Mountain over. Lin Dan is refining the elixir under his nose, it is impossible for him not to know anything about it."
The eyes of several elders lit up and they immediately sent people to look for him.
The head of Qianyan Mountain arrived soon and said helplessly, "Master, the eldest lady's residence is usually cleaned by only her maid. She doesn't use a medicine boy to make pills, but only bought puppets as assistants. I only found out today that she can make non-toxic pills, otherwise I would have sent the news back to the sect long ago!"
Lin Tianshui gritted his teeth in anger, secretly sighing in his heart that his daughter was so independent that she had already been on high alert against everyone. In this case, he could only find her as soon as possible to avoid being preempted by other sects. You know, once the Wuji Sect masters this alchemy technique, all the sects in the continent will have to beg them to supply medicine. At that time, the throne of the number one sect will belong to the Wuji Sect, and there will be no place for the Xuanji Sect.
The more Lin Tianshui thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more regretful he became. If he had known that his daughter had such a high talent in alchemy, he should not have forced her to abdicate, let alone sent her away. It would definitely not work to force her to hand over the recipe now. God is above all else, and he cannot destroy the fortune of the Wuji Sect. The only thing he can do now is to compensate her as much as possible and make her willing to work for the sect.
"Zeyu, wait until your sister comes back, return the Young Master Order to her and apologize sincerely." Lin Tianshui said to his son.
What else could Lin Zeyu do except force a smile and nod? With those pill recipes in hand, Lin Dan already possesses unbridled power, and Wuji Sect will definitely do everything they can to train her, because her value is so great!
Not only Lin Tianshui felt regretful, but the leader of Xuan Ji Sect also felt sorry. He frequently sent communication talismans to his eldest disciple, asking him to tell him the specific location of Lin Dan. Unfortunately, these talismans were blocked by Le Zhengjiu's barrier. However, the power of these large sects should not be underestimated. After a few days, they finally found Lin Dan's whereabouts.
Le Zhengjiu tightly grasped the Sword of Destruction and looked coldly at the people besieging the barrier without taking a single step back. Fortunately, those righteous people did not participate in the robbery due to their face. Those who came were just some evil demons, who were enough for him to deal with. Of course, he was also very clear that if he and these people were both defeated, those who were lurking in the dark waiting to take advantage of the situation would swarm in and eat Lin Dan alive.
For some reason, Le Zhengjiu had been having the same dream over and over again recently. The scenes in the dream were forgotten after he woke up, but the heart-wrenching pain and despair lingered in his heart for a long time, making it impossible for him to concentrate on anything. He knew that the dream was about Lin Dan, because the moment he woke up, he would always shout out Lin Dan's name at the top of his lungs, and then shed hot tears.
He had never cried before, but he cried more than once because of a dream. This made him very anxious and difficult to endure. Recently, he even gave up his cultivation. He thought the situation would get worse and worse, however, the moment he saw Lin Dan, the black hole in his heart was filled. Seeing her smile, he also wanted to smile, so he knew that he could not let this person get hurt.
Seeing that the barrier was becoming weaker and weaker under the attacks of the crowd, Le Zhengjiu stepped forward, ready to start a massacre. At this moment, something strange happened. Heavy calamity clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and rumbling thunder rolled in from far away, making people's scalps numb.
"What's going on? Why did the thunderbolt appear out of nowhere? Who is going to undergo the tribulation?"
“Wait, the place covered by the calamity cloud is exactly Lin Dan’s cave. Could it be that she caused the calamity thunder?”
"What's there to be afraid of when a Foundation Establishment cultivator brings about a thunder tribulation?"
"Indeed, now that the way of heaven is declining, the thunder tribulation is becoming more and more unbearable. We just need to charge in, no need to worry! Brothers, charge!"
These evil demons took out their magic weapons to resist the thunder, then broke through the barrier and killed their way in. However, what greeted them was not Le Zhengjiu's sword light, but a thick purple thunder. The thunder struck the top of an evil demon's head, smashing his protective magic weapon into pieces, and then exploded his body, causing his soul to fly away and his body to be completely destroyed. However, this is not the most terrifying thing. What is more terrifying is that this evil demon is just a demon cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and the magic weapon in his hand is only a low-level magic weapon. It is impossible for him to attract such a huge thunder tribulation.
While everyone was still in shock, another bolt of lightning came straight at them, splitting a demon cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing period into a ball of blood mist. It was still the same scale and power as before, and did not increase or decrease according to the level of each person's cultivation. In other words, these thunder tribulations are enough to send a group of cultivators in the tribulation period to heaven! In other words, the person who brought down the thunder must be at the Tribulation Crossing Stage or even above the Great Accomplishment Stage!
What is the concept above the great success stage? Isn’t that God?
"No, that's not right! This is not a cultivator undergoing tribulation, this is a pill tribulation! Lin Dan is refining a god-level elixir! Everyone, retreat quickly!" Finally someone came to their senses, but it was too late. Many demons had already turned into green smoke in the thick purple electric light.
