I can gather experience beads

Cao Rui watched Ye Yunyin leave and turned his attention back to developing the Fire Lotus Pill.

Cao Rui analyzed his current progress.

"Huh..." Cao Rui let out a light breath and looked at the experience beads in his mind that had no reaction.

Cao Rui frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "The experience bead has no reaction, which means that the pill formula is not valid yet. It seems that my current pill formula needs to be further improved."

Cao Rui consoled himself: "However, we have been able to avoid the furnace from exploding, which at least proves that my direction is correct."

A trace of relief appeared on Cao Rui's face.

"As long as I keep going, even if the refining process continues to fail, as long as I successfully condense the experience pill of the Fire Lotus Pill, I can gain experience and upgrade. Then, through the feedback of the experience beads, I can gain the next refining experience and steps. In this way, I can continue to accumulate experience and improve my alchemy skills."

There has been progress in just a few days, and Cao Rui is still quite confident.

"Keep working hard!" After saying that, Cao Rui began to develop the elixir formula again and devoted himself to the process of refining the elixir.

Cao Rui continued to refine the elixir, while keeping an eye on whether there were any corresponding experience beads condensing in his mind.

Once the experience beads are condensed, Cao Rui will repeat the alchemy steps of the failed but condensed experience beads.

Repeat failed alchemy methods to accumulate experience points until you master the Fire Lotus Pill.

This can also be considered a bug in the experience bead blocking.

The experience beads also give Cao Rui the confidence that he is 70% to 80% sure of successfully developing a new pill formula.

Five hours later, Cao Rui took a short rest, refined a few furnaces of perfect Yellow Dragon Pills to earn spirit stones, and at the same time restored his exhausted mind from developing a new pill formula.

The day passed quickly.

The next day.

Cao Rui did not start refining the elixir.

Instead, he had to temporarily stop refining the new elixir and rush back to the sect.

Elder Feng Yunfan, who died on the sect’s battlefield, will soon be buried in the Spirit Beast Sect’s mausoleum.

His name will be engraved in the sect's mausoleum.

The Spirit Beast Sect held a farewell ceremony for Feng Yunfan.

As a high-ranking member of the sect, Cao Rui was only in the Qi Refining stage and could not guard the market town and the spirit stone mines on his own, so naturally he had to go to the sect to see him off.

As an elder in the foundation-building stage, Ye Yunyin stayed in the market town and had no chance to see Feng Yunfan for the last time.

"Master Cao, please burn some incense for Feng Yunfan on my behalf." In front of the training tower, Ye Yunyin spoke softly, his voice a little low and hoarse.

Ye Yunyin stood quietly, gazing into the distance, but his thoughts had already drifted to the once familiar figure - Feng Yunfan.

They are of similar age, both are the 100th generation disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect, and belong to the same generation.

In the Spirit Beast Sect, they are the only two elders who are not holding official positions, so their relationship is very close on a daily basis.

We often discuss the ways of cultivation together and share our experiences and insights with each other.

However, Feng Yunfan has already died in battle.

At this moment, Ye Yunyin felt heavy as lead and was not feeling well.

Cao Rui looked at the slightly melancholy expression on Ye Yunyin's face, and felt a little disappointed.

The sect provides protection to its disciples. At critical moments, the disciples also need to devote their strength and even their lives to surround the sect's building.

This is inevitable.

Cao Rui nodded, "I will."

Cao Rui took out the small formation plate and handed it to Ye Yunyin.

"I'll be in trouble for Elder Ye for a while here in the market."

"No problem." Ye Yunyin reached out to take the formation plate and nodded.

Cao Rui summoned Black Feather from his beast taming bag.

Ye Yunyin watched Cao Rui jump onto Heiyu's back and soon disappear into the clouds.

......

After Heiyu advanced to a second-level demon beast, its flying speed increased dramatically again!

Now, Hei Yu's speed was so fast that it was beyond imagination. The strong wind blowing towards him hit Cao Rui's face like a knife, and even made him feel a little pain as if his face was being shaved.

Fortunately, Heiyu realized this problem very quickly. It immediately raised a demonic power shield and protected Cao Rui tightly inside it, preventing Cao Rui from being attacked by the wind.

Hei Yu chirped happily, as if showing Cao Rui his new ability. As he chirped, Hei Yu's wings began to tremble slightly, and wisps of black wind appeared around him.

These wind currents wrapped around Hei Yu's body like black ribbons, further increasing its speed.

At this time, Hei Yu's daily speed has reached an astonishing 5,000 miles! This speed is enough for them to cross the long distance of 10,000 miles between the market town and the Spirit Beast Sect in a short time.

Just two days later.

Early in the morning, Cao Rui arrived at the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect in advance.

The memorial service for Elder Feng Yunfan will be held the day after tomorrow.

Cao Rui rushed to the Alchemy Institute first to check the completion status of daily alchemy tasks.

The irony is that a number of Qi Refining disciples died in this war.

Therefore, the demand for elixirs at the Alchemy Institute has decreased, especially the Yellow Dragon Pill needed for the later stages of Qi training.

Because those who participate in the sect wars are basically inner disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Cao Rui took action to refine several furnaces of Yellow Dragon Pills and gave some instructions to Sun Haoran, Jin Mu and the two deacons.

The two deacons, Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi, have both reached the level of entry-level alchemists.

However, their talents are not high, and it is difficult for them to improve their alchemy skills.

Currently, he is only barely improving his understanding of the Yellow Dragon Pill under Cao Rui's guidance. Perhaps in another four or five years, he can completely replace Cao Rui in refining the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Sun Haoran made rapid progress. His success in refining Lingyuan Pills began to improve, and he also started to refine Huanglong Pills.

The level of his Green Flame Alchemy technique improved rapidly. Within ten years, he would be able to surpass the two deacons and become the successor to the head of the Alchemy Institute.

Although Jinmu has good spiritual talent, he is still a child, and his current focus is on cultivation to improve his realm.

The knowledge of alchemy is just the beginning of enlightenment.

If you want to become an alchemist, you will need decades of practice.

Cao Rui stayed in the Alchemy Institute for a day.

The next day, Cao Rui went to the Internal Affairs Hall.

After witnessing his own weakness in the sect war.

Prepare to use your contribution points to exchange for something that can be used as a trump card.

Previously, Cao Rui had made great contributions by single-handedly capturing the Qingling Xiuxian Market.

The sect directly rewarded Cao Rui with 50,000 contribution points.

Fifty thousand contribution points should be able to exchange for some good things.

The Main Hall of Internal Affairs.

Cao Rui met the palace master Xu Qingzhi and explained his purpose.

"Fifty thousand contribution points is not a small amount. It can indeed be exchanged for the explosive items in the treasury. Come, I will personally take you to the sect treasury to have a look and you can choose carefully."

Xu Qingzhi took Cao Rui to the back mountain.

The underground level of the training pagoda is where the sect’s treasure house is located.

Once the treasury is built, it will be completely enclosed.

You need to pass through the careful teleportation array in front of the treasury before you can enter the treasury.

Cao Rui followed Xu Qingzhi onto the teleportation array.

Xu Qingzhi started the transmission.

Cao Rui only felt his body twisting slightly, and then he appeared in an underground space of several hundred square meters that was as bright as day.
