I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

It's still the manor.

It’s still that yard.

Three new elixirs were placed on the table.

The so-called new elixirs are the innovations made by alchemists on some of the original elixir recipes.

But innovation can fail.

This situation is not uncommon in the alchemy world. Anyone who is an alchemist has an innovative heart.

Take the simplest Qi-Condensing Pill, for example. In fact, it has been improved through many versions. After the innovation of countless generations of alchemists, the most mainstream Qi-Condensing Pill recipe is now available.

The elixir is made by nature, and I know it with my clever hands.

The birth of many elixirs comes from accidents. The alchemists then began to work backwards based on the medicinal materials to refine them.

Chu Ning read the notes of the second-grade alchemist Qin Shan gave him and followed what the second-grade alchemist said in the notes.

Without the heart to innovate, one will stop progressing to the second level, and it will be impossible to break through to the third level, let alone the higher level of alchemy.

Because innovation means having a strong understanding of the three major elements of alchemy.

So it's not that only by innovating can you break through to the third level, but by daring to innovate, it means that you have become proficient in alchemy.

Chu Ning glanced at the three pills, what a good guy.

Two poison pills and one good medicine.

Without even thinking about it, Chu Ning chose that good medicine.

In the secret mirror, there is the name of the elixir: God-expanding elixir.

The function is to increase spiritual awareness.

Absolutely good stuff.

Just looking at the medicinal materials, Chu Ning was sure that such a pill would cost thousands of spiritual stones to be placed in the outside world.

Anything that helps with spiritual consciousness is priceless.

Only by trying the medicine yourself can you get this chance.

But this elixir has a name on the Mysterious Mirror, so why does it become a new elixir here?

A new elixir must be one that no one has refined before.

"If you say you are stupid, you are really stupid. The world of immortality is so big, and this elixir has not appeared in this area, it does not mean that it does not exist in other places."

The black snake's voice sounded in Chu Ning's mind, and Chu Ning understood that this was the truth.

But then Chu Ning had another doubt in his mind. It stands to reason that pills related to spiritual consciousness should be tried by foundation-building experts?

Is it because Danu doesn’t have a strong foundation builder?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Chu Ning chose the elixir and looked at the remaining five people.

However, Chu Ning did not see Yang Ming among the people who tried the elixir this time, and did not know whether this person was dead or did not come to participate this time.

After several trials of elixirs, Chu Ning also had some idea of ​​the number of Dannus in Wenjin Sect. There were almost thirty of them. Each time, they only found six Dannus to test the medicine, and the rest were left to wait. next time.

As for not participating every time, it won't work. If he doesn't try the elixir several times in a row, Ask Jinzong will force him to take the elixir.

After Chu Ning picked the elixirs, the remaining two elixirs were also chosen.

It is still taken on the spot.

Chu Ning would not expose the fact that he had cultivated his spiritual consciousness, so he already knew how to express the effect of this divine expansion pill.

When I first broke through to the late stage of Qi Condensation, I told you my reaction when my spiritual consciousness appeared.

The truth is that his consciousness has always existed since that time, but Chu Ning lied about the effect of this pill, saying that after taking the pill, he fell into a mysterious state and could sense everything around him. Grass and trees, but this state only lasted for a quarter of an hour and then disappeared.

…

…

In the backyard, Bao Huining listened to Huang Fei's report with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"This person is only in the Qi Condensation realm and has not cultivated spiritual consciousness. Taking this pill will naturally not increase his spiritual consciousness, but it will allow him to feel the magical effects of spiritual consciousness in advance."

"Uncle Bao Master, your elixir for increasing spiritual awareness has been successfully refined. From now on, you will be respected among the second-grade alchemists of the sect."

Huang Fei flattered him. This kind of elixir that could increase his spiritual consciousness was very attractive to those who were strong in foundation building.

"Haha, I also got this elixir by chance. I spent a lot of thought on it but I didn't expect it to be really useful for spiritual consciousness."

Bao Huining did not hide the joy in his eyes. With just this pill, he had secured his position as the chief second-grade alchemist.

Neither Qiong Liangyou nor Zhang Junming will be able to compete with him.

"When I open the furnace next time to refine a pot of pills, I will give you three pills."

Huang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this. The sect was very generous to the alchemists. All the alchemy materials were provided by the sect, and only half of the refined elixirs needed to be handed over to the sect, while the alchemists handled the rest by themselves.

"Disciple thanks Master Bao." Huang Fei expressed his thanks quickly, and then added with a smile: "Speaking of which, Chu Ning seems to have some good luck with Uncle Master. Uncle Master tried several pills, but he was the one who got them." It’s a good medicine that makes me a little envious of my nephew.”

"Chun Ning? Are you talking about the person who tried the pill?"

Bao Huining didn't know who Chu Ning was, but he could infer from Huang Fei's words that he was the person who had just eaten his new elixir.

Among the three people, only this person survived. Thinking of the competition between himself, Qiong Liangyou and Zhang Junming, it seemed that this person was trying his own elixir, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What you said makes sense."

If there is anyone among the monks who believes in illusory mysticism, it is the alchemist.

There is a saying in the circle of alchemists: Nine points depend on strength and one point depends on luck.

Sometimes I get unlucky. The medicinal materials, heat control, and the alchemy furnace are all fine, but the elixir goes wrong in the end.

The key is that no reason can be found.

Sometimes, it feels like something is wrong, but in the end the elixir is ready, and a top-quality elixir can be given to you.

Although this is a small probability event, the alchemist can't help but refine a lot of pills in his life. After encountering it three or five times, everyone gradually agreed with this sentence.

Of course, this is a probabilistic event. It means that when refining elixirs of the same level, a first-level alchemist will refine a first-level elixir, and a second-level alchemist will refine a second-level elixir. If you lower the level by one level, there will be no such metaphysical theory. .

Take a bath and burn incense, pay attention to the weather...

This has become a must-do procedure for many alchemists before refining some important elixirs.

Some extreme alchemists are said to find a virgin female cultivator to consummate their marriage before making alchemy.

Anyway, in order to improve the so-called luck of becoming an elixir, you will do anything you can.

"My nephew has investigated this Chu Ning. He became Dannu because of an unforeseen disaster, and he is also an alchemist himself."

Huang Fei added that his words were not all to help Chu Ning.

Now that Uncle Bao is in a good mood, he wants to talk about some metaphysical topics in the circle. If Uncle Bao really thinks that Chu Ning will help his luck, then he will be in his favour.

Even if Mr. Bao didn't have this idea, it would be no loss to him. At most, it would just be a flattery that didn't work.

If Uncle Bao approves, then he will be closer to his relationship with Uncle Bao and sell Chu Ning a favor.

Bao Huining said calmly: "What are you involved in?"

"It has something to do with that person..."

Huang Fei briefly explained the situation, specifically mentioning Qin Shan's repayment of kindness in Fangshi and Chu Ning's final act of killing Wang Hu in the street.

Huang Fei even told Wang Hu about enriching himself and deducting benefits. If Chu Ning were here, he would be shocked by the carefulness of this investigation.

In fact, Huang Fei just made a brief investigation, and the reason why he knew about Wang Hu's deduction was because Wang Hu was arrogant and domineering. He didn't hide the matter. He found a medicinal material merchant to sell the kickback. Just ask and you will know.

"In this case, you call Chu Ning, and I can meet him."

"yes."

Huang Fei left quickly, almost as soon as Chu Ning entered the yard with his front feet, he arrived with his back feet.

"Senior Huang."

Seeing Huang Fei, Chu Ning saluted respectfully.

"Uncle Bao wants to see you, come with me."

"Deacon Bao wants to see me?"

Huang Fei's expression was calm, and Chu Ning did not dare to neglect him. While following Huang Fei, he was thinking about why Deacon Bao wanted to see him.

Deacon Bao was the second-grade alchemist who tried the elixir twice.

The status of the deacons in the current sect is second only to the elders, but the elders refer to the inner sect elders, not parallel imports like the outer sect elders.

The so-called outer sect elder is just a nicer title. After all, he came here during the foundation building period, so it is not easy to call him a disciple.

But inside Wenjin Peak, the inner disciples ignored the outer elders, and even the outer elders had to laugh with the inner disciples when they saw them.

If the inner disciples of this sect want to become deacons, they must be in the late stage of foundation building, except for alchemists.

As long as you are a second-grade alchemist, you can still serve as a deacon even if you have not reached the late stage of foundation building.

The deacon is asking Jinzong that he has a great say, which means that this meeting is likely to be related to whether he can shed his identity as Danu.

Seeing Chu Ning's head lowered all the time, Huang Fei could guess what Chu Ning was thinking at this moment, so he gave a suggestion: "You have also made elixirs, so you should know some interesting talk in our circle, such as bathing and burning incense, watching the sky Set the time.”

Chu Ning didn't stop, with a look of gratitude on her face: "Junior understands."

Take a bath, burn incense, and observe the sky to determine the time.

Isn't it just playing metaphysics?

The second-grade alchemist's notes he read often mentioned this matter. The senior described these mysterious and mysterious theories of alchemy in his notes at length, and even warned later generations to rather believe in his existence. , it can’t be trusted.

Take the senior note-taker himself as an example. Every time before refining some important elixirs, he would go to a city and ask someone for directions. If the other person answered that he didn't know, it meant that this month was not suitable for refining elixirs.

Chu Ning was speechless at first, but now that Huang Fei reminded him, he realized that the alchemists really believed in this.

At the same time, he also understood why Deacon Bao wanted to see him. Did he think that he might bring him luck?

In other words, if you want to save yourself, the best way is to make the other party believe in this mythical theory.

When he told Lao Hei that it was good to keep trying elixirs, Chu Ning was just joking.

Even if you can tell which ones are poisonous pills and which ones are not, if you are unlucky and have no choice but to take poisonous pills several times in a row, you will be doomed.

Originally, he was thinking about pretending that he had a special intuition about elixirs and could judge whether the elixir was poisonous.

But now that I have been reminded, I have to change my thinking and rely on the path of metaphysics.

…

…

Entering the manor again, this time Huang Fei took Chu Ning directly to the backyard.

"Master Bao, bring Chu Ning."

"Junior has met Deacon Bao."

Chu Ning saluted respectfully, and Bao Huining looked at Chu Ning with squinted eyes. After sizing him up for a while, he said calmly: "You were the first to choose elixirs twice, but what did you see?"

The real drama is here.

If Huang Fei hadn't reminded him, he would have guessed it based on the smell and color of the elixir.

But since it is metaphysics...

"Junior doesn't know either. I just suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with the pill. I can't describe the specific situation. That feeling lasted only a moment."

Chu Ning's expression was half confused and half sincere, which was consistent with the metaphysical theory of luck.

Bao Huining pondered, but Chu Ning's unclear words made him more convinced of the theory of luck.

Luck.

It is inherently ethereal and indescribable.

"I heard from Huang Fei that you are also an alchemist? What kind of pills can you make?"

"This junior has studied alchemy for several years and is now able to refine Qi Condensing Pills."

"Well, many alchemists start with Qi Condensing Pills. What is the quality of Qi Condensing Pills?"

"Medium grade."

Chu Ning's answer made Bao Huining's eyes narrow. Huang Fei on the side was a little surprised. Being able to refine a middle-grade Qi Condensing Pill was not a bad talent.

"In that case, Huang Fei, please arrange an alchemy furnace for him so that he can make alchemy when he has nothing to do."

"Thank you, Butler Bao."

After expressing his gratitude, Chu Ning retreated.

Huang Fei looked at Bao Huining hesitantly, but finally decided to speak out: "Uncle Master, do you really think there is a destiny connection between Chu Ning and your alchemy?"

Although he was the one who said this at the beginning, he must now let his uncle admit it. Otherwise, if it is not the case, he is afraid that his uncle will blame him.

"Not sure."

"Then why don't you give it a try, Uncle Master?"

"The theory of luck is very mysterious. If there is human intervention, it may backfire. This matter must be allowed to take its course."

Bao Huining shook his head, and then said meaningfully: "What's more, so what if it is, and so what if it's not?"

Huang Fei pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Disciple understands."

His original idea was that Master Bao took out the elixir to test Chu Ning, but apparently Master Bao felt that this was against his luck.

It's better to keep it as it is and ask Chu Ning to pick the elixir himself when there is one. If Chu Ning can sense whether it is a good medicine or a poisonous elixir every time his uncle refines it, then he can prove it without testing.

If he couldn't sense it, Chu Ning would die if he took the poison pill.

"This is my uncle's alchemy experience in recent years. You should study it carefully. When the fifth elder comes out of seclusion, if you can get into the eyes of the fifth elder, you will be a second-grade alchemist just around the corner."

Bao Huining took out a notebook and Huang Fei took it as if he had found a treasure.

The so-called fifth elder is the only third-grade alchemist in their current sect, and he is also a strong man in the golden elixir stage.

Every five years, the Fifth Elder will select talented alchemists in the sect and accept them as registered disciples. Three people like Bao Huining are the registered disciples of the Fifth Elder, so they are regarded as senior brothers.

"Not only do you want to be accepted as a registered disciple by the fifth elder, I also want to become a true disciple of the fifth elder."

Seeing Huang Fei leaving happily, Bao Huining's eyes also shone brightly. They, the registered disciples, could not call the fifth elder master, but could only call him elder.

To put it bluntly, these registered disciples were actually selected by the Fifth Elder to train some alchemists for the sect, and were not regarded as real disciples.

The fifth elder has really only accepted one disciple in so many years, but that one was not so blessed. Unfortunately, he went into the mountains and forests to collect medicinal materials and was killed by a monster. Since then, the fifth elder has not accepted any more disciples.

If you want to become the personal disciple of the fifth elder, you must have enough talent in alchemy.

"If you are really the son of my luck, then why not help you."

…

…

The next day.

I asked the disciples of this sect to collect the alchemy furnace.

These disciples looked at Chu Ning with a strange expression. As a Dannu, he could also make elixirs. This was the first time they had seen this.

But this was Deacon Bao's order, so they naturally did not dare to object.

Looking at the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials, Chu Ning also felt that his experience was a bit strange.

So now I am a Danu and an imprisoned alchemist.

"Old Hei, you said that if I refine a high-grade Qi Condensing Pill, will the Wenjin Sect remove my identity as a Danu and let me join the Wenjin Sect?"

Chu Ning looked at the alchemy furnace. This alchemy furnace was not very good, but it was still possible to refine high-grade Qi Condensing Pills with a little more care.

"It's not enough to just refine one kind of elixir. If you can refine several more elixirs to reach top-grade ones, this road will really work."

Geniuses, especially alchemy geniuses, are welcome in any sect.

"Actually, we took the wrong path before. We only wanted to hide our strength and then develop it to become a blockbuster later. But this model was better in the Liang Dynasty. After all, the energy of the longevity fruit is sufficient, coupled with the help of the blood-burning skill."

"But now this road is not feasible. Just like the Wuwu disaster encountered in Qinshan this time, and the few monks who were directly submerged by the sword energy, it all shows that if there is no backing, it is easy to die inexplicably."

Chu Ning carefully reflected on his behavior after coming to Wenjin City and found that he had gone to an extreme.

I always feel that if I have enough lifespan, I can grow slowly without worrying.

But they ignored that the lifespan of the strong men in the world of immortality was not comparable to that of the warriors of the Liang Dynasty. In the Liang Dynasty, they could encounter the Wushuang Sect in just a few years, but in the world of immortality, they encountered many things in dozens or hundreds of years. Things are only going to get worse.

The most important thing is that it is too difficult to leapfrog in the world of immortality, and the blood-burning technique is useless, and the monks have many methods, just like this Qinshan incident, they can't escape even if they want to.

The best way is to find a strong backer for yourself and develop slowly with the support of a big tree.

But powerful backers are not so easy to find. Who would be willing to be your backer without some talent.

The same goes for joining a sect. If you are not talented enough and you are just an ordinary disciple, but you still have to perform sect tasks, there will be dangers as well.

If you have good alchemy talent, taking the path of alchemy genius is the most suitable.

The first point is that the alchemist has a high status and can be taken seriously in the sect.

The second point is that alchemists have a wide network of contacts. No monk will offend an alchemist unless he has no choice.

"Take this opportunity to improve your alchemy skills."

Now that he had the medicinal materials, Chu Ning started refining the elixir. He was not that particular about metaphysics.

But I can’t say for sure. Many things come to my mind more and more after I get into the industry.

Maybe in the future he will also take baths and burn incense, and make elixirs according to the changes in the four seasons.

Start a fire and warm the furnace.

This is the first step in alchemy.

If it is a brand new alchemy furnace, it usually takes half a month to warm the furnace.

However, the one given by Wen Jinzong was obviously used, and there were still a lot of ashes at the bottom of the furnace. Chu Ning only warmed and cured it for a few hours before it was finished.

After the step of warming the furnace was completed, Chu Ning began to put the medicinal materials into the furnace.

You don’t need to stare at the elixir at the beginning, especially low-level elixirs like Qi Condensation Pill. You only need to control the heat and stare when the elixir is about to take shape.

Chu Ning didn't waste any time and practiced the blood-burning technique cross-legged.

The upper limit of the Burning Blood Technique is foundation building, but he doesn't have a better technique now, so he can only make do with it.

He is practicing here, and so is the black snake. The snake is hesitant, and its spiritual energy goes in and out, constantly absorbing and refining.

After two hours of this, Chu Ning finished refining the minimum spiritual energy given by the longevity fruit today, and looked at the alchemy furnace, but was stunned at this sight.

In his mind, there was an extra piece of information about the Qi Condensation Pill in the pill furnace.

"Old Hei, we're going to send it out."

Chu Ning looked very excited, and Lao Hei beside him kept slapping his whole body on the ground, because he agreed and received the message.

The cryptoscope can actually show the shape of the elixir.

Anyone who is an alchemist will understand what this means, which means that as long as he controls the heat, the elixir can definitely be made without any failure rate.

For example, when the elixir is halfway refined, a strong fire is required, and when two-thirds of the elixir is refined, it needs to be changed to a gentle fire... The more advanced the elixir is, the more complicated it is to operate.

If you control it well, you might be able to refine the best elixir.

For low-level elixirs, many alchemists can control the heat because they can be directly detected using their spiritual sense.

But if earth fire is used, it is a natural fire that is naturally nourished and can burn the divine consciousness. When the divine consciousness cannot be completely pried, one can only rely on proficiency and the alchemist's intuition.

In addition, the better the alchemy furnace, the stronger the effect of isolating spiritual consciousness, because it pays attention to purity and does not allow any foreign objects to enter the alchemy furnace for fear of affecting the effect of the elixir.

After three hours, start the furnace.

Ten green Qi Condensing Pills appeared intact in the pill furnace.

No materials are wasted and they are all top quality.

Chu Ning and Black Snake were each looking down at the ten Qi Condensing Pills, breathing a little fast.

"Everything that reveals secrets is just a trick. This revealing mirror is an alchemy artifact."

"Once developed, high-end and high-grade elixirs can be taken as sugar pills."

Black Snake is also very excited. The high-grade elixir can completely make up for the increased difficulty of practice.

"Although the Qi Condensing Pill is not as good as the Condensing Yuan Pill, it refers to the ordinary Qi Condensing Pill. If it is a high-grade one, it will be inferior to the Condensing Yuan Pill. And if the top quality Qi Condensing Pill can be refined, its efficacy will be even greater than that of the Condensing Yuan Pill." Dan is taller.”

"Start refining, start refining, and build the foundation as soon as possible!"

Chu Ning was refining alchemy crazily with great energy, and at this moment, all the alchemists in Wenjin Sect were also frantically improving their alchemy skills.

Because the fifth elder is about to leave seclusion.

Every time the fifth elder leaves seclusion, he will at least accept one named disciple. No one wants to miss this opportunity.

…

…

After three months.

The fragrance of elixirs filled the Wenjin Peak. All the inner disciples of the Wenjin Sect and above knew that it was the elixir made by the fifth elder, but they didn't know what elixir the fifth elder had made.

What these people didn't notice was that there was another subtly different fragrance mixed in with this diffuse fragrance.

"Huh!"

In a heavily guarded place on Wenjin Peak, where the fragrance of red pills was strongest, there was a sound of surprise, but then silence returned.

In the yard, Chu Ning and Black Snake stared intently at the green-colored elixir in front of them.

The ultimate Qi Condensing Pill.

The elixir is of the highest quality and has its own unique light.

Finally finished.

The next moment, Chu Ning suddenly grabbed the top quality Qi Condensing Pill and hid it in his arms. The black snake also hid with a hiss.

somebody is coming.

…
