Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 128 Start making alchemy

Anyone with a certain amount of experience can understand what Zhao Shuyao is thinking at this moment.

This is a kind of self-satisfaction that elders give to their juniors. It is truly selfless and is truly for the sake of satisfying the needs of the juniors and the satisfaction of success.

The moment she accomplished this, she felt satisfied.

What she needs is not the younger generation's humility or return, but happy acceptance.

"Thank you, Aunt Yao!" Although with his personality, he would rather have an equal exchange than see Zhao Shuyao give up her physical cultivation for him, but the matter is done. Zhao Shuyao's blood and energy have declined severely, and there is no possibility of another attempt. Li Ji'an accepted this gift.

"Haha, silly child, why are you telling Aunt Yao all this?" Zhao Shuyao patted Li Ji'an's shoulder.

Tong Yaoyao stood up: "Stay with Aunt Yao, I'm going to see my mother first."

She actually didn't feel anything about the materials of this Foundation Establishment Pill. She herself had never used the Foundation Establishment Pill in the first place. In her eyes, the Foundation Establishment Pill was not something rare. She just felt a little sorry for Zhao Shuyao.

But there was no way out. As a powerless beggar, she couldn't violate the rules of the Chamber of Commerce.

After Tong Yaoyao left, Li Ji'an chatted a lot with Zhao Shuyao. He had done this kind of thing to tease the old man many times and was very skilled at it. He knew what to say and what to ask to make him happy.

As she spoke, Zhao Shuyao brought up his previous life and hometown.

"Xiao Fan, do you know? In fact, the hometown of your father and me is the burial ground of immortals. The reason why there is no spiritual energy there and it is surrounded by heavenly punishment is because there are immortals from ancient times buried there." Zhao Shuyao said slowly.

"Auntie Yao, how did you know?" Li Ji'an thought she was telling a story.

"I also went to the Wanshang Cultivation Area next door this time, and an old senior told me that they discovered some ancient records near the Phantom Forest more than 3,000 years ago.

In our Daze cultivation world, there are a total of nine true immortals buried, which also formed nine Jedi.

These nine Jedi were not abandoned by heaven, but were sucked dry by these nine immortals!"

"The burial place of immortals? Was it also the place where immortals sucked away all the spiritual energy?" Zhao Shuyao's words reminded Li Ji'an of his experience in the Xianci Dynasty. Immortals? They were just cultivators of Qi.

Moreover, he had been in this world for sixty-seven years and had consulted a lot of information. At least in the past six thousand years since ancient times, not even a God-Transforming Heavenly Lord had been born in the entire Daze cultivation world.

"Did people really ascend to become immortals in ancient times?"

"Since they have ascended to become immortals, why would they die? Shouldn't immortals be immortal?" Although there are many legends from ancient times.

Regardless of the flourishing cultivation systems at that time, or how perfect the laws of heaven and earth were at that time, most of them are legends without any substantial evidence.

As for "immortals", he was even more skeptical.

"There should be some. That old senior is a real master and he won't lie to us." Zhao Shuyao smiled indifferently.

"What happened in ancient times? There were immortals, so why did they become extinct?"

Zhao Shuyao was speechless, smiled and shook her head, then looked towards the direction of the Xianci Dynasty, as if muttering to herself:
“Sometimes I think how nice it would be if we were not born in the Immortal Burial Ground.

But then I thought about the people here. There are more mortals who have spiritual roots but cannot practice. Their visible and intangible appearance seems to be worse than the completely invisible people in our place.

It would be much better if no monks from that family broke in."

As she spoke, Zhao Shuyao's eyes became moist.

When people get old, they will miss their hometown and want to return to their roots. She wanted to go back to the place where she was born.

Li Ji'an wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly, "I will take you back."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuyao smiled and said, "Silly child, the Immortal Burial Ground is very dangerous. Unless you find a loophole or a great opportunity, you can't get in or out. Even a Jindan Zhenren can't do it. Hey, how did that family find the loophole?"

Li Ji'an smiled and said nothing more.

Everything will be clear.

However, the three of them may not be able to wait that long.

They chatted until late at night. Before leaving, Li Ji'an left behind several bottles of Qi and Blood Pills and asked Zhao Shuyao to take them daily to replenish Qi and blood.

After returning home, Li Ji'an adjusted his mood.

Then he took out all the medicinal herbs that Zhao Shuyao had given him.

There are a total of thirty-six medicinal materials, among which Nine-Star Poria is the most scarce main medicine, and there are three less scarce auxiliary medicines. The others are relatively easier to obtain.

Every medicinal ingredient was carefully checked and found to be of sufficient age and efficacy, fully meeting the requirements for refining the foundation-building pill.

This batch of medicinal materials can produce up to five pills, but only a second-level quasi-pill king has such a perfect pill success rate. After all, refining the foundation-building pill is quite difficult.

For an ordinary second-level senior alchemist, the limit is to make four pills.

A second-level alchemist in the Immortal City can only make two pills at most.

If one pursues higher quality pills, the success rate will be further reduced.

Li Jijing concentrated his mind for three days and finally decided to split the main medicine, Jiuxing Fuling, into two.

He is already very proficient in the theory, but this is his first time to actually put it into practice. He should be confident but not blind.

The success rate of this batch of medicinal materials mainly depends on the main ingredient, Nine-Star Poria. If it is divided into two, with his level of alchemy skills, the upper limit of the number of successful pills is only two, but there is a chance for trial and error.

In this way, the auxiliary medicine originally collected can be used.

After this period of recovery, the consumption of the Fire Spirit in helping Gua Gua refine his Qi and blood has been restored.

Li Ji'an continued to feed it with his magic power for a few more days, helping it reach its peak.

That day, everything was ready. He packed all his herbs and alchemy furnace and headed to the inner city to rent a second-tier spiritual cave. Alchemy required a high concentration of spiritual energy and spiritual pressure. The Foundation Establishment Pill, a special second-tier elixir, required even more spiritual energy, requiring at least a lower-tier second-tier spiritual cave.

At this moment, Zhao Shuyao sent a message.

"Xiao Fan, have you found a second-level alchemist who can refine foundation-building pills? Do you need Aunt Yao to help you contact Master Zou?"

Among the second-level alchemists who can refine foundation-building pills in the Immortal City, Master Zou is relatively easy to hire. The other two are both tributes to the Chamber of Commerce, and it is difficult to invite them without a certain status.

Although Master Zou is not as good as those senior second-level alchemists, he has accumulated a lot of experience in refining foundation-building pills, and can at least guarantee a genuine foundation-building pill.

"Aunt Yao, you have helped me so much in this matter. You don't need to worry about me anymore. Wait for my good news." After replying, Li Ji'an came to the Xiancheng Management Office.

I have to say that now that the Qi family is managing Xiancheng, it is indeed more convenient for customers in many aspects.

When the Biyun Sect was in charge, no matter how many days it took you to build all the caves, whether you were refining pills or attacking the passes, it would take at least one month.

Now, the shortest unit is day, and the minimum rental period is one day.

Although the unit price is nearly doubled, it is much more cost-effective for people like Li Ji'an who only rent it for alchemy.

The foundation-building pill is not easy to make and it takes three days to start the furnace.

"Hey, Master Li Dan also wants to rent a cave to make pills today?" Li Ji'an's reputation as a top-notch alchemist was within the scope of the handover, so the Qi family's steward naturally knew him.

Li Ji'an bowed slightly: "Oh? Are there other alchemists refining pills today?"

"Haha, Master Zou is helping someone refine the Foundation Establishment Pill today. He has just finished the formalities. Maybe you can meet him if you go over there." The manager said with a smile.

Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence.

After paying one hundred and fifty spirit stones, Li Ji'an received the jade talisman that controlled the cave.

This time he rented a second-grade, top-grade cave, which was specially built for alchemy. In addition to the usual spirit-gathering, mind-concentrating, and prohibition arrays, it also had unique temperature control, humidification, and mirror arrays.

The mirror array is specially arranged so that people outside can directly see the alchemy going on inside.

The target is alchemists like Master Zou who help others make pills.

However, only those who seek elixirs are allowed to watch from outside.

Of course, whether these magic arrays are activated is decided by the alchemist who holds the controlling jade talisman.

"Master Li, are you here to make pills too?" When I arrived at the inner city cave rental area, I met Master Zou as expected.

He was followed by three people, one of whom was very familiar to him. He was Xie Gui, the number one first-class alchemist in history and also the closed disciple of Master Zou Dan.

The other two people seemed to be the ones who asked Master Zou to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Thank you, Master Dan, nice to meet you. I had a flash of inspiration today and wanted to give it a try." Li Ji'an replied with a smile.

Then, he bowed to Master Zou Dan and said, "Greetings, Master Zou Dan."

When Master Zou Dan saw the jade talisman in Li Ji'an's hand, he frowned slightly and glanced at him sideways.

"Xiao Li, considering that you and Xiao Xie have the same name on the list, I have a few words to say to you. As alchemists, we must never be too ambitious. We must lay a solid foundation before we can climb up. You are still young and have plenty of time. Don't be impatient. The best elixirs cannot be made by just having rich spiritual energy." The purpose of the first-level alchemist coming here to rent a cave is self-evident.

It's nothing more than trying to refine a top-grade elixir.

But how could it be so easy to make a top-grade elixir? Ninety-nine percent of alchemists would never be able to produce a top-grade one in their lifetime.

At least Master Zou has been refining pills for nearly two hundred years, but he has yet to produce a top-quality one.

Li Ji'an nodded in agreement and thanked him for his teachings.

Li Ji'an knew something about Master Zou Dan. He didn't have many bad intentions, but he liked to take advantage of his seniority and show off his presence.

This is evident from the fact that he was able to appear in public at the auction.

Without staying for long, Li Ji'an went into the cave he rented.

Master Zou Dan looked at Li Ji'an's back and glared at Xie Gui: "Don't learn from him."

"It's saved by my disciple." Xie Gui replied quickly.

"Master Zou Dan is kind-hearted and willing to guide unrelated juniors. He is truly a role model for our generation." A person who asked him to refine the elixir hurriedly complimented him.

"Yes, with Master Zou's reputation in the Immortal City, which independent alchemist would not want to get your guidance?" Another person also hurriedly agreed.

Master Zou Dan smiled and waved his hand: "I also came here at that time. A helpless and independent cultivator, without a master to guide him, is always prone to making mistakes. If I meet someone, I can only give him a few words of advice. Whether he listens to me or not depends on his own luck."

Then Master Zou Dan entered the cave alone.

Xie Gui looked at the two people who were a little nervous and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Master has refined at least fifty furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills. Although I can't guarantee the success rate, it is to avoid disputes. The actual success rate is guaranteed."

"Yes, yes, we naturally believe that we can find Master Zou Dan. We don't ask for top-quality pills, just two genuine ones will satisfy us." The two said hurriedly.
-
"Xiaohuo, I'm counting on you this time." Inside the second-grade superior cave, Li Ji'an activated all the magic arrays except the mirror image, activated a forbidden talisman, then looked inward at the fire spirit in his dantian and transmitted the message through his mind and soul.

The little fire spirit nodded frequently in Li Ji'an's dantian.

Then, Li Ji'an didn't think any more and swallowed a spirit-replenishing pill and then a qi-replenishing pill.

After taking a short breath, the second-grade high-quality alchemy furnace that Master Zou Dan had obtained even without showing off appeared in the cave.

Next, the two medicinal ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill were laid out in order.

"let's start!"
