Above the source of Tao

After the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array was set up, the thin vital energy in the air began to slowly accumulate until the vital energy in the house began to become thick, and the surrounding air began to become moist, visibly visible to the naked eye.

Chu Xiaoxiao, who was guarding outside the house, also felt that all the vitality around him was running into his room.

This change made her feel that her junior fellow apprentice might actually be able to succeed in refining it.

When Yun Chang'an in the room felt that the vital energy had accumulated enough, he began to place the alchemy furnace in the center of the room, which was also the place where the vital energy was the most concentrated.

Then he followed the previous alchemy steps and mixed the required spiritual herbs step by step. He was already very adept at this step and there was no need for any complicated or unnecessary steps. In less than half a cup of tea, he had prepared the required spiritual herbs.

Seeing Yun Changan's skillful technique, Hua Shichen couldn't help but feel gratified. During the time when she was away, he really worked very hard to get better.

"it's time."

He transformed the Yuan Qi into a shape, placed the Yuan Fire on the palm of his hand, focused his eyes, and in an instant, bursts of flames came out of the alchemy furnace. When the temperature in the furnace rose, he put the spiritual herbs into it one by one, and soon he saw cyclones forming inside.

It takes no effort to transform the elixir into qi.

An hour later, it came to the last step, which was to fuse them. After collecting the Yuan Fire, he did not relax, because this was the most critical moment. If he put two kinds of Yuan Qi, earth and gold, into it, the furnace would explode if he was not careful.

Yun Chang'an did not dare to relax until the last bit of his vital energy was transferred into the alchemy furnace. A huge sizzling sound came from inside, and soon the breath dissipated, and he heard a rumbling sound coming from his ears.

"Failed?"

So he looked at it hurriedly, and sure enough, the pill had not formed.

There was only a mass of black medicinal residue in the furnace, with bursts of white smoke coming out.

Yun Chang'an frowned, not knowing what went wrong. Why did the pill fail at the last step when there were no problems with all the previous steps?

He took out the recipe and studied it carefully. Every step was recorded in great detail. It should be impossible for it to fail. This was just a second-level pill and it shouldn't be so difficult to refine.

Chu Xiaoxiao, who was outside the house, also heard the noise and asked what happened, but Yun Changan lied to her so as not to make her worry and told her nothing happened.

At this time, Hua Shichen beside him saw that the pill refining failed, and looked at the surrounding vitality, and said, "Maybe it's not the problem with the pill formula, but the surrounding vitality is too rich, which suppresses the medicinal properties of the pill."

Yun Chang'an's eyes lit up. Yes, he also felt that the vital energy here was very rich. When he was refining pills in the sect before, there was no such a large Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array to bless him. The vital energy around him was almost turning into gas and liquid.

Knowing where the problem lies, he began to disperse some of the vital energy in the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, keeping them in the same state as within the sect.

A new round of refining began.

Chu Xiaoxiao had been waiting outside the house for almost a day, and had no idea what was going on inside. During this time, Chu Hanlan also came over and invited them to dinner, but Chu Xiaoxiao refused.

Chu Hanlan was still very curious and asked Yun Changan what he was doing in the house, but how could he tell her this? He only told her that he was looking for something that could cure Chu Jiangruan's body.

Chu Hanlan also tacitly stopped disturbing Yun Changan. Her father's health was the most important thing to her now.

Chu Xiaoxiao also told her not to let other people know her background. She still found it hard to believe this sister whom she had never met.

After learning about Chu Xiaoxiao's life experience, he felt sad for his sister and even had some opinions about his father. However, with Chu Xiaoxiao's comfort, he let the matter go.

She also knew that this matter was of great importance, so naturally she would not tell anyone else. Even her personal maid Ying'er didn't know about what was going on between them.

Not long after, Chu Hanlan left and asked Ying'er to bring them food.

Looking at the food on the table, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't touch a single bite. As a cultivator, she had no interest in worldly food. If her cultivation could break through to the Condensation Realm, she probably wouldn't even look at the worldly food.

Just when I was wondering when Yun Chang'an in the room would be able to be refined, I saw the door open.

Yun Changan walked out dragging his tired body.

Chu Xiaoxiao immediately stood up from the chair, walked forward, and looked at him expectantly, "How is it, was the refining successful?"

Yun Changan stared at Chu Xiaoxiao with a bitter face. Seeing this look, he thought he had failed.

But he saw Chu Xiaoxiao's look change from expectation to disappointment, and he decided not to tease her anymore.

"It was a success, but..."

"But what?" Chu Xiaoxiao no longer had any expectations. She was thinking in her mind that she could only use a brutal method and use her own vitality to force the poison out of Chu Jiangruan's body.

However, Chu Jiangruan is already old, and I don’t know if he can withstand his own vitality. Before, I only dared to give him a little vitality because mortals could not withstand that vitality. And he is also old now. If he wants to completely eliminate the poison, he needs a lot of vitality.

We can only remove the vitality from the body bit by bit, but time is running out. This task only takes half a year, and now it is already halfway through, and there is not much time left. If we want to treat it in stages, we can only wait and see.

"However, in order to refine this batch of pills, my pill furnace exploded."

As for why Yun Chang'an took so long to successfully refine this furnace of elixir, the main reason was that his own furnace exploded.

The first time he refined the elixir, he failed because the vital energy was too strong. After making improvements, he could have succeeded, but halfway through, a crack appeared in the elixir furnace, causing the next few attempts to fail.

Yun Changan did not find the cause immediately, and only with the help of Hua Shichen did he discover the problem with the furnace.

So, he repaired the alchemy furnace while refining the elixir, which resulted in the elixir being made taking longer.

The pill in his palm still exuded a fragrance, and there was still residual heat on the pill. "Is this the Poison Devouring Pill? Why is it different from the Poison Devouring Pills I saw before?"

Yun Changan scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "Senior Sister Chu, the pills I made are a little different."

I didn't doubt it. Maybe it really was different from the others. Feeling the residual heat and fragrance from the pill, I knew it was definitely freshly refined.

He accepted the three pills, thanked Yun Chang'an, and promised that he would select a high-quality pill furnace for him when he returned to the sect.
