Six days later.

Three quarters of an hour.

[Cultivation: Qi training level 5, 777/2000]

[Skills: Level 3 Alchemist, 5/1000]

Promoted to the third-level alchemist.

Qin Gengyun looked at the illusory words in front of him calmly and stood up silently.

Qiu Zhihe, still breathing slightly, turned over and asked, "Where are you going?"

Tonight is not the day to go to Yunling Mountain to practice fighting skills.

Qin Gengyun turned around and smiled: "Zhihe, I am a third-level alchemist. I want to try to refine the Continuation Rejuvenation Pill."

Then he remembered that Su Su was living in the alchemy room next door, and apologized, "I was so happy that I forgot that Su Su was next door. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"No problem."

Qiu Zhihe stood up, walked straight out of the bedroom, opened the door of the alchemy room next door, walked to the floor where Liusu slept, and said lightly:

"Are you still going to pretend to sleep?"

Liusu opened her eyes dazedly: "Miss? Um, what are you asking for?"

Qiu Zhihe said: "You eavesdrop outside every night, do you think I don't know?"

Qin Gengyun was shocked and pointed at Liusu in disbelief: "Susu, you, you actually did such a thing?"

Seeing that she was exposed, Liusu stopped pretending, smiled and sat up, raising her hand to scratch her messy hair:

"I'm just curious. It won't cost you anything to listen. Miss, don't be so stingy! Ouch!"

Then Qiu Zhihe grabbed her ears and she stood up, begging for mercy: "Miss, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"

Qiu Zhihe said coldly: "Help him refine the elixir."

After saying that, he turned and left the alchemy room.

Liusu rubbed her ears and glared at Qin Gengyun: "It's all your fault!"

Qin Gengyun was too lazy to pay attention to her. He sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace and took out several spiritual herbs for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill. These were all prepared by Qiu Zhihe in advance.

Liusu had no choice but to sit down beside him, light up the Dan fire, pick up the fire-controlling spirit fan, and mutter to herself:

"You are about to refine a third-grade elixir, but you still use this low-grade spiritual fan. Don't you think it's shabby?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned when he heard this, and thought that what this girl said made sense. He was already a third-level alchemist, so it was time for him to consider changing to a mid-grade spirit fan. And this bronze furnace, should it also be upgraded to a spirit gathering furnace?

A mid-grade spirit fan costs about 200 spirit stones, while a spirit gathering furnace is much more expensive, at least a thousand spirit stones.

After we get the big order of 40 third-grade spirit stones from Zhenyang Sect, we will upgrade the equipment.

He didn't think any more about it, threw the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace, released his spiritual consciousness, and concentrated on refining the elixir.

An hour later.

The elixir is ready.

"What the hell is this?"

Liusu took out a thumb-sized pill from the furnace. It was pitch black, irregular in shape, and sticky when it touched her fingers.

Qin Gengyun was very calm: "It's normal to fail when refining a third-grade elixir for the first time. Let's try again."

Liusu snorted in disdain. When the sect master refined the sixth or seventh grade elixir, he always succeeded on the first try. But you can't even make the third grade. How lame!

An hour later.

Still failed.

"Hey, uncle, I think your spiritual sense is too fine and lacks strength. Can't you make it thicker?"

"What does this have to do with thickness?"

"Why is it okay? A thicker one will be more powerful. If it's too thin, the solidified spiritual fluid won't work once you get half of it in."

"My spiritual consciousness is clearly thick and thin, how can you, Susu, slander my innocence out of thin air?"

"Son-in-law, you still don't admit it. I saw it all..."

"Shut up." The two were arguing when Qiu Zhihe walked in expressionlessly:

"Everyone get out."

"oh"

"Okay!"

The two of them immediately shut up and walked out quickly.

Qin Gengyun wanted to wait at the door to see what his wife was going to do, but Qiu Zhihe had already slammed the door shut.

Qin Gengyun was almost hit on the nose, and asked Liusu helplessly:

"What is Zhihe going to do?"

Liu Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the young lady's husband, and you don't even know this? Have you forgotten that the young lady is a formation master!"

Qin Gengyun was startled and murmured, "Could it be that Zhihe wants to draw a magic array in the alchemy furnace?"

Liusu shook her head and muttered, "Fools are blessed with good fortune."

Half an hour later, Qiu Zhihe walked out of the alchemy room, his face a little pale, and said lightly:

"alright."

"Zhihe, are you okay?" Qin Gengyun saw that she was a little tired and asked with concern.

Qiu Zhihe didn't answer, but went straight into the bedroom and closed the door.

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to walk into the alchemy room. The bronze furnace didn't seem to have changed on the outside, but when he used his spiritual sense to probe into the furnace, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

I saw a magic array with intricate patterns painted on the inner wall of the alchemy furnace, which was the spirit gathering array that could only be found in a spirit gathering furnace.

If a spirit gathering array is drawn inside the alchemy furnace, it can gather more spiritual energy and greatly improve the efficiency and success rate of alchemy.

If one were to refine a fourth-grade elixir, the spiritual power contained in the spiritual herbs would be too enormous and an ordinary bronze furnace would not be able to contain it, so a spirit gathering furnace would have to be used.

However, even the cheapest spirit gathering furnace would cost at least one thousand spirit stones. It's not that an independent alchemist couldn't afford it, but spending so many spirit stones would really hurt.

That’s why there is a saying among alchemists: every alchemist hopes to marry two wives, a spiritual plant master and an array master.

But he only married one, but she is both a spiritual plant master and a formation master.

How lucky!

"Hey, the lady is so good to you. If you dare to let her down in the future, you will definitely be punished by God!"

Liusu said to Qin Gengyun viciously.

Qin Gengyun said: "Zhihe is my wife, I will naturally treat her well. But you, a mere spirit fan medicine attendant, aren't you meddling too much?"

"You! Are you still refining the elixir? If not, I'll go to sleep!"

…

The morning light is breaking outside the window.

“It’s coming out! It’s coming out!”

"Haha, it worked this time! That's awesome, what are you laughing at? I'm saying I'm awesome!"

Amid Liusu's shouting, a pill of uniform color and excellent appearance was taken in Qin Gengyun's hand.

"Continue with the Soul-Restoring Pill, it's done!"

…

Two days later.

Zhenyang City.

It is prosperous and bustling with people.

The scale of just one ordinary street is equivalent to ten Caifeng Streets in Yunling Town.

Zhenyang City covers a very large area, but no matter where you are in the city, as long as you look sideways, you can see a mountain towering into the clouds.

This mountain is like a giant sword piercing the sky, and on the "sword body" there are six peaks slanting towards the sky.

This is Zhenyang Mountain where the Zhenyang Sect is located.

Those six mountains are the six peaks governed by the headmaster and five elders of Zhenyang Sect.

Jietian Peak, Huashen Peak, Danxia Peak, Xiyue Peak, Wangyou Peak and Jianzhong Peak.

However, recently something unexpected happened at Xiyue Peak among the six peaks. Elder Sang Yue died in the Red Lotus Killing Formation of the Demon Sect at Tianlu Mountain, and Sang Yue's disciple Ye Xiyue was seriously injured.

Originally, Ye Xiyue had been chosen to become the youngest inner sect elder of Zhenyang Sect, but now something has changed.

The five major peaks proposed to hold the sect competition in advance. Whoever wins the sect competition three months later will become an elder.

Right now, there are undercurrents within the Zhenyang Sect, and each branch is making preparations in secret.

For some talisman masters and alchemy masters who have connections and certain abilities, this is a huge opportunity.

At this time, in front of the mountain gate of Zhenyang Mountain, Pei Daoyu stood respectfully behind an old man with a white beard.

Both of them looked very unhappy.

The old man's name is Chang Chunzi, he is at the sixth level of Qi training and a third-level alchemist.

It was the great alchemist that Pei Daoyu relied on.

He followed Chang Chunzi to Zhenyang Mountain. One reason was that Zhenyang Sect was buying blood coagulation pills, pulse-replenishing pills, and Yuan-restoring pills to treat the disciples who were injured in Tianlu Mountain.

Second, there would be a sect competition three months later, and all the peaks were buying up elixirs in large quantities. Chang Chunzi's channels were Danxia Peak and Xiyue Peak.

Thirty Soul-Restoring Pills and thirty Jade-Broken God-Wrath Pills.

One hundred spirit stones.

If successful, it will be 4,000 spirit stones!

However, the two of them came all the way here, but they couldn't even get into the mountain gate.

Only one disciple came out to inform that the Blood Coagulation Pill, Pulse Restoration Pill and Yuan Hui Pill had been sold in exchange for higher quality ones and were no longer needed.

As for the follow-up Soul-Restoring Pill and Shattered Jade Angry God Pill, they were asked to provide high-quality finished pills, otherwise they would have no hope of getting this order.

Chang Chunzi smiled and stuffed a lot of spiritual essence into the disciple's pocket. Only then did the disciple tell him the sources of the high-quality blood-clotting pills, pulse-replenishing pills and Yuan-rejuvenating pills.

Some of them come from Yunling Town!
