Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

Xia Xiaomo was in the vast grassland, surrounded only by lush green grass and blue sky and white clouds.

The gentle breeze brings the freshest breath of nature, accompanied by the slight rustling of grass and trees, as if the earth is whispering.

The grass is dotted with small flowers.

They bloom in the sun, each with its own unique color, as if silently competing to show off their beauty.

The dewdrops on the petals sparkled and swayed gently in the breeze, as if they were dancing a light dance.

The white clouds float freely in the sky, their shapes changing from one shape to another, some look like playful rabbits to others like majestic mountains.

It is hard to tell whether it is the clouds moving or time passing, this picturesque scenery makes people feel peaceful and serene.

Xia Xiaomo sat here alone and quietly.

In the distance, a white figure came running, and a snow-white puppy appeared happily in front of Xia Xiaomo.

Its fluffy white fur shone softly in the sun, and it hopped lightly.

He moved closer to Xia Xiaomo and rubbed her calf with his head.

Xia Xiaomo's clear and black eyes were full of curiosity. She reached out and gently stroked the puppy's head.

The puppy closed his eyes comfortably, making pleasant nasal sounds from time to time and wagging his tail slightly.

Zhang Yunxue poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

She was just guiding the girl's true qi to materialize. Although she could directly help these disciples to achieve this materialization, this method was not advisable.

If the seedlings do not grow on their own, they will lose their future. Forcing them to grow will not only be of no benefit, but will kill the crops.

The same goes for the materialization of true Qi. You can't be impatient, and you can't help. Everything must be done step by step according to the rules.

We must proceed step by step, not be reckless or too ambitious.

Zhang Yunxue put down the teacup and prepared to pour another cup of tea.

However, at this moment, a white puppy suddenly appeared on the furnace and looked at the three people in the room with curious eyes.

Xia Xiaomo's true energy actually materialized when she was refining the elixir for the first time!

"The pill is ready!" Zhang Yunxue reminded.

Xia Xiaomo also put down one hand and stopped forming seals at the elder's call.

The flame in the furnace disappeared, but she did not immediately take out the Qi-replenishing Pill from the furnace.

She walked forward, she walked forward and gently touched the puppy that was materialized by true energy.

The puppy closed its eyes, enjoyed the petting for a while, and then disappeared.

"I didn't expect you to succeed in refining the elixir on your first try."

Zhang Yunxue smiled and continued, "If Elder Duan knew that your Qi materialized when you made the first pill, he would definitely invite you to join the Alchemy Peak. You are very talented in alchemy."

In the entire Alchemy Peak, only Elder Duan and his two disciples were able to materialize their true Qi during their first alchemy session.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Zhang." Xia Xiaomo bowed to express her gratitude, then reached out and took out the Qi-replenishing pill from the furnace.

"Xu Yeyu, it's your turn next." Zhang Yunxue said.

She rarely looks forward to her disciples like this, and today she witnessed Xia Xiaomo forming seals with one hand and materializing her true qi."

Xu Yeyu nodded and came to the alchemy furnace.

He formed seals with one hand like Xia Xiaomo, and wisps of gentle flames quietly rose in the alchemy furnace.

The flame is not blazing, but warm and steady.

Zhang Yunxue thought to herself that these two disciples were truly extraordinary. It was extremely rare for cultivators in the first three realms to be able to form seals with one hand.

She herself had failed to do this in the third realm.

Normally, a monk needs to use both hands at the same time to complete complex seals in order to mobilize his true energy and cast spells or sword techniques.

However, forming seals with one hand requires the cultivator to have a strong spiritual consciousness and an excellent control over it.

Xu Yeyu's movements were calm and unhurried, without any nervousness, which was completely different from when Xia Xiaomo was refining the elixir.

He controlled the temperature precisely and put the herbs into the furnace one by one, with each movement being just right.

In the fire, the herbs gradually melted.

Zhang Yunxue watched every step of Xu Yeyu's alchemy and was filled with amazement.

It felt like it didn't seem like it was his first time making the elixir. He was completely different from other beginners and didn't feel nervous at all.

Every movement is so smooth and natural.

Xia Xiaomo watched Xu Yeyu making the elixir and thought it was very normal.

She had seen Xu Yeyu refine dragon blood into golden beads and create golden elixirs.

For him, refining Qi-replenishing pills should be an easy task.

Zhang Yunxue thought, but such a warm fire might not be enough to make a pill, what would he do?

Suddenly, the air in the cabin became scorching hot.

In the alchemy furnace, as the fire was ignited, a blazing fire dragon suddenly appeared out of thin air!

The fire dragon circled and leaped in the alchemy furnace like a living creature, releasing powerful heat and energy, causing the temperature in the wooden house to rise sharply.

Zhang Yunxue's fingers gently stroked the jade pendant around her waist, and a ball of light blue light quickly condensed in her hand.

This jade pendant is a magic weapon for cooling down.

As Zhang Yunxue adjusted the temperature, the space inside the wooden house was enveloped by a cold current, the heat subsided rapidly, and the original temperature was restored.

Zhang Yunxue was even more shocked in her heart, as the essence of his true energy was actually a fire dragon!

Xu Yeyu didn't even use the method she gave him, and this little fire dragon materialized from true energy appeared. His talent and understanding were higher than Xia Xiaomo's.

The rich aroma of medicine filled the wooden house, indicating that the elixir had been successfully refined.

The little fire dragon flew out, lowered its head towards Xu Yeyu, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Yunxue had never thought that a phantom of true qi would appear when they first made the elixir.

The talent in cultivation is not the same as the talent in alchemy. I have seen many disciples who are extremely talented in cultivation, but they know nothing about alchemy.

Some alchemists have reached the fourth level, the Golden Elixir Realm, but are still unable to materialize their true Qi.

A disciple from the third realm and a disciple from the second realm accomplished something that many alchemists could not achieve.

Xu Yeyu took out the Qi-replenishing pill from the furnace. Compared with Xia Xiaomo's, this pill emitted a faint white light.

The Qi-replenishing pill refined by Xia Xiaomo is of low quality, while that refined by Xu Yeyu is of medium quality.

What’s important is not the quality of the Qi-replenishing pills they refined, but that they all succeeded on their first try.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it is rare to find someone who can succeed at one try. Many people even have to go through countless failures and adjustments before they can complete their first pill refining.

Many people would produce a ball of black embers when refining the elixir for the first time, and some disciples would even have their furnace explode, but Xia Xiaomo and Xu Yeyu both succeeded.

What’s even more rare is that both of them can materialize their true Qi.

Xu Yeyu turned around, looked at Xia Xiaomo and said, "Then how do we settle this bet?"

The two were equally matched in memorizing, and now both had succeeded in their first attempt at refining the elixir, and were even able to materialize their true Qi.

Normally, this should be considered a draw.

"That must be a draw!" said Xia Xiaomo.
