Mortals cultivating immortality and the fate of immortal jade

Lin Mu gently opened the brass furnace cover.

The interior of the orange-yellow brass stove is as smooth as the wall, and its belly is as round as a drum, with strands of steam emitting outwards.

Lin Mu put a portion of the ingredients into the brass furnace and tightly covered the furnace lid without exposing any gaps. Then hold the golden round handle and input spiritual power into it.

The dormant flames in the stone platform instantly ignited and shot up to a height of more than a foot. Lin Mu firmly controlled the strength of the flames.

After a while, a roaring sound came from the furnace.

Lin Mu hurriedly used his spiritual sense to investigate.

In the brass furnace, the spiritual grass is roasted by the flames and turns into several balls of juice. These juices slowly gather at the bottom of the brass furnace. These juices are the essence of the spiritual grass.

Lin Mu slightly reduced the output of his spiritual power, and the flames immediately became weaker.

Lin Mu carefully controlled the flame to maintain this intensity and slowly baked it.

Under the baking of the flame, the juice at the bottom of the brass furnace gradually thickened, and the color gradually changed from a mixture of colors at the beginning to light yellow.

At this time, Lin Mu began to increase the output of spiritual power, hoping to refine the essence of these spiritual grasses from liquid into solid and solidify them into elixirs.

To Lin Mu's helplessness, this process was extremely long.

An hour passed, and the essence of the spiritual grass in the brass furnace hardly changed much, except that it became thicker from the original thickness.

However, most of Lin Mu's spiritual power was consumed, and it seemed that he could no longer hold on.

Lin Mu gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on. Holding the golden round handle tightly in his hand, his spiritual power was inputted like crazy.

There were beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, partly from fatigue and partly from being too close to the stove. Big beads of sweat fell on the stone platform and immediately turned into a puff of white smoke.

Lin Mu did not dare to relax at all. He hoped to survive this period of time until the elixir was released.

But he obviously didn't expect that there was no spiritual power in his body, and the flames in the stone platform began to slowly weaken.

Lin Mu felt anxious. The spiritual power in his body had gradually dried up and he could no longer continue.

He didn't want to fail at all. This material was two low-grade spiritual stones, which was worth his hard work for a month.

But the situation was out of Lin Mu's control. The flames at the bottom of the furnace suddenly stagnated. Lin Mu's spiritual power could no longer be sustained and was completely exhausted.

Chi!

A pungent burnt smell wafted from the brass furnace.

Lin Mu was exhausted and sat down on the ground.

The first alchemy failed!

More than an hour of hard work was in vain.

Lin Mu was breathing heavily. The spiritual power output that lasted for more than an hour had exhausted his spiritual power and made him exhausted.

After resting for a long time, Lin Mu began to meditate and practice, slowly recovering his spiritual power.

More than an hour later, Lin Mu opened his eyes, his eyes became more determined and his decadence was gone.

The spiritual power in his body had been completely restored, but Lin Mu did not immediately start refining it for the second time.

He wanted to find out the reason for his failure.

Now, he finally understood how optimistic his original estimate was. Refining elixirs is not an easy task at all, and not everyone can do it. He tests people's endurance, carefulness, and cultivation.

Among these three things, except for cultivation, he possesses all of them including endurance and carefulness.

But cultivation is equally important!

His failure came from the lack of spiritual power in his body!

However, this is back to the original point. The reason why Lin Mu made alchemy was to improve his cultivation level, but the reason why he failed in alchemy was precisely because his cultivation level was too low.

Now there is a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mu decided to continue refining a few times to see if he could find some ways.

Open the furnace lid and dump out the dark mass of waste at the bottom of the furnace. Once the refining fails, the material will be completely scrapped and there will be no room for maneuver.

Put another portion of the ingredients into the brass furnace and close the lid.

Lin Mu held the golden round handle in his hand, input spiritual power into it, and started refining it again.

This time, Lin Mu persisted for a full hour and a half, but still fell short. At the last moment, he only heard a bang and everything in the furnace was burned to the ground.

The second time also failed.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.

After his spiritual power was restored, he decided to start refining again.

After dumping the residue, Lin Mu took out another batch of materials, put it into the brass furnace, then activated his spiritual power and began to slowly refine it. It's just that his reckless actions did not produce results. This time, there was no difference from the previous two times.

Failed for the third time!

Lin Mu became fierce and desperate, took out another material and started refining it.

The fourth failure!

The fifth failure!

The sixth failure!

The seventh failure!

Seven times in a row without success. The reasons for each failure were exactly the same. They were all at the last moment, with insufficient spiritual power and the flames at the bottom of the furnace being too weak. In the last step, they solidified into elixirs and fell short.

Lin Mu was like a clay sculpture, sitting blankly in the alchemy room, saying nothing, his eyes dim.

The series of failures hit him hard.

All along, he has placed more than half of his hopes on alchemy, hoping to quickly improve his cultivation. But after actually trying it, Lin Mufang knew that there were many difficulties involved.

Everything is not as easy as imagined!

No one can succeed casually!

Even if you work hard, you may fail again and again.

After a moment of decadence, Lin Mu's eyes began to slowly regain their luster.

He needs to cheer up!

Because reality does not allow him to escape, he cannot sit still and wait for death.

After the spiritual power in his body recovered, Lin Mu began to attack for the eighth time.

This time was no different from the previous seven. Lin Mu carefully maintained the output of spiritual power and controlled the intensity of the flame. An hour ago, everything was normal, and there was no abnormality in the brass furnace.

An hour and a half later, Lin Mu's spiritual power gradually became unsustainable and he felt tired again.

He persisted, his face turning red.

After a while, his complexion began to turn red and pale, and he could no longer hold on.

He exported the last spiritual power from his body and could only let it fend for itself.

However, the imagined scenario did not materialize immediately.

The elixir was not scrapped immediately because the flame at the bottom of the furnace was still burning. It was not until the flame weakened that a burning smell came from the furnace again.

Lin Mu was not depressed this time. He looked surprised and seemed to have gained something.

He quietly recalled that last moment. In order to keep the flame burning, he put out all his spiritual power. As a result, the flame was actually obedient and did what he wanted.

He knew that the flame had no thought, so there must be a reason for the last blow.

Lin Mu has been controlling the strength of the flame all this time. At the last moment, the flame was no longer under his control, but it could still do what he wanted. He felt that there might be a breakthrough here.

control? Not control? Lin Mu murmured to himself, thinking hard.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Not to control... but to guide. Yes, it’s guidance.

These are two completely different concepts. Control means keeping everything in mind, while guidance is much easier. You only need to change the strength of the flame at some critical moments.

This earth-lung fire comes from the ground and is endless. He does not need to control it all the time. He only needs to guide it at the right time and let it burn on its own.

After thinking about this, Lin Mu felt excited.

After resting for a while, the spiritual power in his body recovered slightly, and Lin Mu began to verify what he was thinking.

Holding the golden round handle, Lin Mu carefully input spiritual power into it. This time, he did not control the flames, but just guided it a little when changes were needed.

To his excitement, this method is completely feasible!

In this way, the spiritual power in his body should be able to last until the end of the alchemy.

Lin Mu was so excited that he meditated on the spot and began to recover his spiritual power.

Time passes little by little.

Two hours later, all the spiritual power in Lin Mu's body was restored. He cheered up and threw himself into it again!

This time, Lin Mu was cautious, keeping his consciousness close to the brass furnace, always paying attention to the changes in the elixir inside. After all, guidance is not control, and reaction is slower than control. He has to notice the changes in the alchemy furnace in advance so that he can take advantage of the situation and predict the future.

Although this was a bit difficult for Lin Mu, he could barely maintain it.

As time slowly passed, the changes in the brass furnace became more and more drastic.

An hour and a half later, Lin Mu was surprised to find that there was still a lot of spiritual power left in his body.

Lin Mu didn't dare to be careless and still carefully kept the flame burning.

But from his slightly joyful eyes, it can be seen that this time the alchemy is very promising!
