The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Cao Rui temporarily abandoned cultivation in the alchemy courtyard and devoted himself to alchemy day after day.

Time passed quickly, and three months passed in a flash.

However, for Cao Rui who was immersed in alchemy, this period of time seemed as short as a blink of an eye.

The Lingshou Mountain still maintained a pleasant climate with four seasons like spring, making it impossible to feel the passage of time.

But in fact, at this moment, a year has passed in the mundane world outside.

The Spring Festival has just passed, and it is early spring outside. The ice and snow have not completely melted, but all things are beginning to recover.

Unknowingly, Cao Rui has entered the fourth year of joining the Lingshou Sect.

During these three months, Cao Rui immersed himself in the way of alchemy.

With the support of the sect's full support of precious spiritual medicine materials, he finally successfully raised the Yellow Dragon Pill and the Green Frost Pill to the perfect state.

And the Green Flame Alchemy Technique was promoted to the perfect state after constantly accumulating experience points, and the alchemy technique was further improved.

In this way, Cao Rui mastered the first-level spiritual pill Huanglong Pill, the 0-level spiritual pills Bigu Pill, Lingyuan Pill, and Qingshuang Pill.

One first-level spiritual pill, three 0-level spiritual pills.

According to the rules of the Xiuxian world, Cao Rui can be formally called a beginner alchemist.

And Cao Rui has perfected the first-level alchemy technique, and all the four pills he mastered are perfect.

Among the beginner alchemists in the Xiuxian world, no one's alchemy level is higher than Cao Rui.

Cao Rui's alchemy level has surpassed Han Sheng.

Cao Rui took out an exquisite pill bottle from the storage bag.

He gently opened the bottle cap, and a strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose.

The pill bottle contained the Huanglong Pill that Cao Rui secretly withdrew.

These Huanglong Pills are round and full, golden in color, and exude an alluring luster.

This is the perfect Huanglong Pill!

You should know that after Cao Rui practiced Huanglong Pill to the cloud, the power of refining Huanglong Pill was as high as nine.

Coupled with the perfect Green Flame Alchemy Technique and the blessing of the first-level magic furnace, Cao Rui can easily achieve the feat of refining Huanglong Pill with 100% power.

Moreover, every time Huanglong Pill is refined, there will be a full 20 pills.

Before this, Han Ruisheng's Huanglong Pill refining power was only five.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Cao Rui decided to temporarily reduce his power to about five, and planned to gradually increase it in the future.

So, every time Huanglong Pill was refined, the extra pills were naturally withheld by Cao Rui secretly.

Cao Rui simply quietly put these extra Huanglong Pills into his storage bag and left them for his own practice.

Although Cao Rui concealed the quantity, he could not hide the quality of Huanglong Pills.

Su Zimo and other disciples of the Alchemy Academy were still able to feel the terrifying alchemy talent level of this young alchemy genius junior uncle through the quality of Huanglong Pills refined by Cao Rui.

Most disciples in the Alchemy Academy were willing to believe that Cao Rui's alchemy level was far beyond Han Shengsheng.

"There are more than 500 Huanglong Pills that I secretly withheld, which should be enough for my Mingyu Gong to break through the current realm."

Cao Rui looked at the Mingyu Gong experience beads in his mind. After three months, it has reached 80%.

Cao Rui slightly adjusted his mind.

Opening the pill bottle, Cao Rui poured the Huanglong Pill into his mouth.

For other Qi Refining cultivators, it takes several hours to absorb the medicinal power of a Huanglong Pill.

And they also have to consider the harm of pill poison to the body, and limit the number of elixirs they take every day.

But Cao Rui can use the experience beads to directly absorb the medicinal power of the Huanglong Pill, which is not only fast, but also does not have to worry about the harm of pill poison to the body!

Achieve rapid improvement in experience points.

This is also the reason why Cao Rui has been committed to improving his own alchemy level.

For Cao Rui, as long as the alchemy level is improved and the appropriate cultivation pills are refined, he can quickly improve his cultivation level.

One by one, the Huanglong Pills were swallowed by Cao Rui, and they were quickly absorbed by the experience pills almost as soon as they entered his stomach.

Cao Rui watched the experience points of the Mingyu Gong experience beads soar rapidly.

When there were only more than 30 Huanglong Pills left in Cao Rui's hand, the experience points of Mingyu Gong finally reached 100%!

Cao Rui clicked on the experience points of Mingyu Gong without hesitation.

The experience bead flashed with purple light, and turned into a purple torrent that surged into Cao Rui's mind and body.

Cao Rui's memory was filled with scenes of Mingyu Gong being run again and again.

The mana in his body broke through rapidly with the help of the purple light.

Until the mana became more pure and three or four times deeper, it stopped.

Qi Refining Stage 8, it's over!

Cao Rui sensed the mana in his body. Because of practicing Mingyu Gong, although Cao Rui was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage, his mana was comparable to that of an ordinary ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.

The spiritual consciousness expanded and reached more than 20 meters.

Cao Rui checked his physical condition after the promotion.

After being promoted to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage, the experience value of the experience bead increased more slowly by practicing alone.

The growth rate is only about 5% per year. If you practice in the pagoda, it should be able to increase to about 10%.

"Let's do the math. If you rely solely on the Yellow Dragon Pill, you'll need 3,600 Yellow Dragon Pills to advance from the seventh to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage."

"Continue to try the efficacy of the Yellow Dragon Pill and see how many Yellow Dragon Pills you'll need to advance to the ninth level."

Cao Rui took out a Yellow Dragon Pill and put it in his mouth.

After careful observation, Cao Rui concluded that he needed about 7,200 Huanglong Pills to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage based on the experience value gained after swallowing Huanglong Pills with the experience beads.

This was double the amount required to advance to the previous level.

In terms of spirit stones, one Huanglong Pill was slightly more expensive than a spirit stone, which meant that Cao Rui needed 8,000 spirit stones to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.

Of course, if you really want to calculate, it is not calculated this way.

As the most popular alchemist in the Spirit Beast Sect, Cao Rui knew how to refine Huanglong Pills, and the number of Huanglong Pills secretly withheld every year was not small.

In addition to the cooperation of the experience beads.

Cao Rui estimated that within four or five years, or even faster, he could advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage. ,

At this time, the voice of a disciple from the Alchemy Academy came from outside the alchemy room.

"Deacon Cao, it's time for you to preach."

Like Chaori Peak, the Alchemy Institute also has its own preaching time, and generally the alchemists with better alchemy skills share their own alchemy skills.

Previously, Han Ruosheng and the other two deacons were responsible for preaching.

Now that Han Ruosheng has returned, Cao Rui's reputation is so loud, so Su Zimo and Cao Rui agreed before that Cao Rui would host the preaching.

Cao Rui has preached several times in the past few months.

Mainly explained the refining process of Qingshuang Pill.

Now that the Qingshuang Pill in the sect is only refined by Cao Rui, it takes up a lot of Cao Rui's practice time.

In addition to the sect's demand for Qingshuang Pill, the Alchemy Institute needs to cultivate several alchemists who specialize in refining Qingshuang Pill.

"Okay."

Cao Rui responded softly, stretched out his hand to clean up the debris in the alchemy room with the object control technique.

Then he used the Light Feather Technique and turned into a black shadow and left the alchemy room.

Soon, Cao Rui arrived in front of a square in the central hall.

A scaffold had been set up in the square, and more than 20 junior disciples of the Alchemy Academy, including the deacon Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi, had put a cushion under the scaffold and sat quietly waiting for the arrival of the lecturer Cao Rui.
