The Path to Becoming Immortal

Ning Ping still began to practice as usual, and his soul was moving around as before.

This place was not as remote as in the Jialiu medicinal field. There was another dormitory next to it. Ning Ping was still a child after all, and he was having a lot of fun practicing and moving around.

After playing for a while, he suddenly saw that the lights in the master's attic in the distance were still bright. Then he remembered that today was the day that the master, the senior brother Lu Xuan, was looking forward to, the day when the master started to refine the elixir!

Looking at the distance, it should be within the range of his soul, so he rushed to the master's attic out of curiosity.

Not long after, Ning Ping approached the attic where the master lived. After entering through the wall, he could hear the sound of the master and senior brother Lu Xuan talking in the house not far behind the attic.

"Xuan'er, you have made great progress in alchemy in recent years. I hope you can also gain something today." As soon as he entered the back room, he saw Yang Qi Zheng talking to Lu Xuan with a kind expression that he had never seen before.

Lu Xuan was very moved when he heard this: "Thank you, Master, for your help."

"Why are you saying this? We are master and disciple. Among you brothers, I only have your back. The others~ Humph!" Yang Qizhen looked disdainful when he mentioned the other two disciples.

"One last check. If there is no problem, we will start." Yang Qizhen also looked into a furnace that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom like a gourd to check it out, while Lu Xuan beside him carefully counted the various spiritual medicines prepared on the table beside him. There was also a row of crystal clear utensils on it, which was very beautiful.

Seeing that the two of them were busy after they finished talking, Ning Ping looked around the room. It seemed that this was the room they called the alchemy room. The one in the middle should be the alchemy furnace. The room was very simple. In addition to the alchemy furnace, there was the long table and two cushions next to the furnace.

Only 10 breaths had passed, and the two had finished the inspection.

"Okay, let's get started."

After Yang Qizhen finished speaking, he waved his hands several times, and bursts of Yuanli shot out from his hands.

As the Yuanli shot to several places, Ning Ping suddenly felt a strange small wave around the house, and at the same time, a cold breath that he had experienced on the day the village was destroyed swept over him. Through these days of understanding, he roughly guessed that this was a means of exploration by the cultivators.

Although he was certain that the other party should not be able to see him, Ning Ping planned to retreat from the pillar in the room to the outside first out of caution, but it was this cautious move that almost ruined the big thing.

Just as Ning Ping was stepping out of the wall of the room, his invisible body suddenly seemed to touch something, and then that place emitted bursts of five elements trembling.

"Who~!" Just at this time, Yang Qizhen's shout rang out in the house, and then he came to the front in two breaths like a gust of wind, and then the eldest brother also ran out.

At this time, Ning Ping was extremely nervous. He took a step back slowly without making a sound, and dared not move any more. What happened? Could he see it? No, he must have triggered something when he walked to a certain position, and the fluctuations caused him to be alarmed. But he had no idea what it was.

At this time, Yang Qizhen arrived at the place, looked around and found nothing, then jumped up to the eaves. Suddenly, a black shadow came out from the corner behind the house.

"Hmph!" Yang Qizhen snorted coldly, and then pointed his fingers at a distance. A strong wind came out of his fingers and instantly hit the fast-moving black shadow.

"Meow~" The scream of a wild cat floated in the night sky.

"Master, it seems that this wild cat has triggered the ban. There shouldn't be many people coming here."

Yang Qizhen checked it carefully again before jumping down.

"Well, it should be, so remember in the future, you must keep quiet when refining the elixir. If you are disturbed by the outside world during the refining of the elixir, you may fail." Yang Qizhen looked at Lu Xuan with some complexity.

"Well, disciple remembers it." Lu Xuan nodded as if he had learned something, and then the two returned to the alchemy room.

It turned out that the invisible thing he had just touched was called a restriction. Although he didn't know what it was, it should have served as a warning.

Ning Ping was relieved at this moment. He almost planned to return to his body first, but fortunately he didn't. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if he came again and touched the restriction.

Since then, he dared not go out of the house. Thinking that he came here to watch the alchemy this time, and the other party didn't find him just now, he was more confident in himself, so he simply hid behind the pillar of the room and watched with peace of mind.

After the two entered the house and stood still again, Yang Qizhen pointed at the furnace, and suddenly a flame rose under the furnace, and a heat wave swept through the house. After a while, the temperature in the whole room rose a lot.

"First, warm the furnace. After the temperature rises, put in the spiritual medicine." Yang Qizhen waited until the temperature in the furnace was not too bad, then waved his hand and a dozen spiritual medicines flew in. It was the Qianling grass that had just been picked this morning. Then, the furnace cover on the side flew up and sealed the furnace mouth tightly.

Then he sat cross-legged on the cushion, holding the furnace in his hands, and his palms moved slightly without knowing what he meant.

Seeing Lu Xuan's face flushed and his eyes shining as he stared at him while refining the elixir, Yang Qizhen smiled slightly and answered.

"I didn't let you do it before because you know that alchemy requires Yuanli to support it. You should watch carefully. The spiritual medicine put into the furnace must be continuously controlled by Yuanli to keep it heated evenly. Otherwise, if you are careless or the Yuanli is insufficient, the spiritual medicine inside will be destroyed."

Lv Xuan, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly, staring at his master's operation, trying to sense the changes in the furnace and not wanting to miss a single detail.

Ning Ping's interest also increased greatly. This is a method of refining immortal pills, and he also stared at it, fearing that he would miss any details.

After more than an hour, Yang Qizhen suddenly stroked the furnace with one hand, and waved his other hand. At this moment, the lid of the furnace flew up and was gently placed aside by a stream of Yuanli.

After that, he raised his hands, and a ball of green liquid rose from the furnace, and then gently put it into the vessel on the table.

Ning Ping opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the scene in front of him. So this was alchemy, but then he realized that this was far more than that.

"This stage is to refine the spiritual medicine, using heat to remove all the impurities in the spiritual medicine. The purer the liquid medicine, the better the quality of the pill. This is also the decisive first step. But don't think this is the key. It is not important to have a certain link in the alchemy. Each link is the key. If one link is wrong, it will fail. Remember!"

As he spoke, more than a dozen root-shaped spiritual medicines were put into the alchemy furnace. Ning Ping also recognized this spiritual medicine. It was the spiritual ginseng that was also marked in the herbal illustrations. It can greatly replenish vitality, restore pulse and consolidate, nourish the spleen and lungs, and nourish the blood... At this moment, the introduction of Qianlingshen flowed through his mind one by one.
