The Path to Becoming Immortal

This time it took a little less time than the refining of Qian Ling Cao. The refining was completed in less than an hour. The furnace lid was opened again, and a ball of earthy yellow liquid was taken out.

Then another elixir was put in and the operation continued.

It lasted for a full six or seven hours, during which the master swallowed unknown medicinal powder several times before refining all the elixirs on the table. At this moment, a layer of sweat appeared on the master's forehead, and his face looked tired. color.

Although the whole process was repeated and even a little boring, Ning Ping watched it with gusto, and the same was true for his senior brother. From the beginning to the end, Ning Ping did not notice that he had moved even half a step, which shows that he is also a very diligent person. , no wonder it pleases Master so much.

Seeing that everything was refining, he accidentally glanced out the window. Only then did Ning Ping realize that he was facing this problem. It had just passed the Yin hour, but it was not long before dawn, and it was less than an hour before the Mao hour started.

But he was extremely eager to continue reading, and he didn't know how long the alchemy would last. Depending on the situation, it would not be completed in a short time. Ning Ping had no choice but to think of missing the entire alchemy process, but fortunately now There's still a moment, let's continue to look at it first.

At this time, the master spoke: "The next step is to fuse the medicinal liquid, but before that, I want to refine some spiritual liquid for later use. This time, it's up to you to do it. The master will assist you on the side. It's better to see it a thousand times than to do it once." , are you sure?"

"Well, I won't let Master down." Hearing what Master said, Lu Xuan was immediately excited and nodded desperately in response, his face flushed.

I saw Yang Qizheng walking in front of the desk, waving his hand, the vessels originally containing the spiritual liquid on the desk magically disappeared one by one. In surprise, Ning Ping suddenly remembered that he had seen it when he was with the two uncles. But at the time, I was too confused and didn't have the confidence to pay attention, so I secretly kept this scene in my mind and would find out more about it later.

At this moment, Lu Xuan began to operate, and what he was refining was the dozen Thousand Spirit Grasses that Yang Qizheng had just taken out.

The operations continued to be repeated, lighting the fire, heating the furnace, and adding the elixir. Lu Xuan followed the master's previous operations one by one.

At this moment, Yang Qizheng also came behind Lu Xuan. Although he couldn't see the situation, an unabashedly weird smile appeared on his face.

But this scene was clearly seen by Ning Ping behind the pillar, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.

"Yes, that's it, keep it up." Yang Qizheng smiled strangely behind Lu Xuan while giving kind instructions.

"Stay steady and pay attention to the output of your energy."

…

As time passed, only half an hour passed, and Lu Xuan's forehead was covered with sweat, looking like he was struggling.

"Master, I can't hold on anymore." Lu Xuan continued to hold on for a while, but finally couldn't go on any longer and called Master anxiously.

"Don't worry, Master is here to help you." The smile on his face became even wider as he spoke.

What happened next was a terrifying scene that shocked Ning Ping's heart.

Yang Qizheng raised his palm and struck Lu Xuan in the back of the heart without hesitation.

"Poof~" With a sound, Lu Xuan was injured and a mouthful of blood spurted out to the sky. His face was full of fear, and he hit the alchemy furnace in front of him.

Just when he was about to say something, suddenly due to interference, the elixir being refined in the alchemy furnace suddenly produced a strong fluctuation.

"Boom~" Then a loud bang sounded in the room, and the alchemy furnace exploded instantly. A strong impact swept through the room, and all the windows were instantly opened. However, the walls should have been reinforced and not reinforced. How strange.

Fortunately, Ning Ping was hiding behind the pillar, and the existence of his soul only felt a strong wave passing through his body.

Yang Qizheng, on the other hand, had a sinister smile and excitement on his face. With Lu Xuan's body slashing in front of him, he handled it easily with a push of his palm. Looking at his proficiency, he must have experienced many such furnace explosion situations before.

It turned out that this was a furnace explosion. Ning Ping was extremely shocked, but what was more, it was the master's strange behavior. After seeing it with my own eyes, I didn't think it was a method of assistance. Under the violent commotion at this moment, Ning Ping exited the room in one fell swoop, but the strange fluctuations did not appear. It seemed that as expected, he must have been disturbed or damaged in some way by the impact just now.

As soon as I came outside the house, I looked up and saw that it was still a while before dawn. My heart moved, and I made up my mind in an instant. Then I turned around and entered the room.

The situation in the room was astonishing. The alchemy furnace exploded, and the desks on the side fell to the ground. The door was not damaged at all. It seemed that prevention had been taken long ago.

Senior Brother Lu Xuan was already lying on the ground dying, but a strange scene appeared on his cheap master. A black mist was seen pouring out from the master's body, and then condensed into a human-shaped black shadow in front of him.

"Jie Jie~" The black shadow let out a strange laugh, and then the black shadow rushed towards Lu Xuan on the ground, opening its huge mouth and biting non-stop. There were two holes on the black shadow's face where the eyes were, and they seemed to be spreading from time to time. With excitement. The invisible screams were clearly reflected in Ning Ping's soul's mind at this moment.

Ning Ping looked at the scene in front of him in horror. The black shadow faintly exuded an aura similar to his own soul. As he was biting, he vaguely saw a phantom like Lu Xuan being torn out of the body. , his face twisted in fear and pain was looking up to the sky and screaming. At a certain moment, Ning Ping even felt that he was looking at her with a pleading look on his face.

Lv Xuan's body twitched involuntarily in pain. As the biting continued, the twisting continued to emit extremely strong fluctuations, shaking Ning Ping's mind from time to time.

'Soul Devouring! ' A word inexplicably emerged in Ning Ping's mind. The breath of the bites was very similar to the breath on his body now. Not surprisingly, the black shadow was devouring Lv Xuan's soul, or soul.

The biting process did not last long. After more than ten breaths, Lv Xuan had no breath at all and became a silent corpse. The exposed skin on his body showed a strange grayish white. And the hideous black shadow also merged into Yang Qizhen's body with a laugh.

At this time, Yang Qizhen's whole body twisted strangely, and the half-black and half-white hair turned black quickly, visible to the naked eye, until only 30% of the original white hair stopped, and the originally thin body seemed to be fuller.

"My dear disciple, don't blame me. I have no choice but to do this for my immortality. Go peacefully and be my dear disciple in the next life."

Muttering to himself, he slowly walked to the futon and sat down.

At this moment, the terrified Ning Ping regained consciousness. He didn't expect that he was so frightened by the whole process just now. In an instant, his soul disappeared from the spot.
