Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

The residual heat of the alchemy furnace had not yet dissipated, and the air was still filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, but Gao Xingchen felt heavy in his heart. In the porcelain bottle in his hand, there was the Star Pill that he had worked so hard to refine, but the quality of this pill was far below his expectations.

"What's wrong, Xingchen?" Nan Li noticed his abnormality and asked softly. Xuan Feng beside him also cast a concerned look at him.

"The elixir was refined, but because it was interrupted in the middle, the quality is not ideal." Gao Xingchen sighed and handed the porcelain bottle to the two of them, "Take a look."

Nan Li took the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill. The pill was light yellow, with impurities faintly visible inside. The medicinal fragrance was not strong enough, and there was even a hint of burnt smell.

"It's not ideal indeed." Xuan Feng frowned, "But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, this is your first time refining this kind of high-level elixir, and you were interrupted in the middle. It's already great that you succeeded."

"No, this is not enough." Gao Xingchen shook his head, his eyes flashing with determination, "I must refine a perfect Star Pill! In the future, I will also refine a Barrier Breaking Pill!"

Nan Li held his hand and said softly, "Xingchen, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can't rush the alchemy, take your time."

"I understand." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart. "I just feel that the failure of this alchemy is not only due to Lin Feng's interference, but also due to my own reasons. If my alchemy skills can be improved, perhaps I can resist his interference and refine a perfect pill."

"What do you want to do?" Nan Li asked.

"I'm going to find Pharmacist Li." Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with determination, "I want him to teach me how to make pills!"

Pharmacist Li is the sect's leading alchemy master, strict but fair. Gao Xingchen believes that only he can help him break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level.

The next morning, Gao Xingchen came to Pharmacist Li's residence to ask him about alchemy. After hearing his purpose, Pharmacist Li did not immediately agree, but carefully asked about the last time he made the elixir and his understanding of the elixir.

Gao Xingchen told Pharmacist Li everything he thought without reservation, including the formula defects he found and the mistakes made during the refining process. After listening to him, Pharmacist Li showed an appreciative look on his face.

"It is commendable that you can seriously reflect on your shortcomings." Pharmacist Li said slowly, "However, in the path of alchemy, in addition to talent, what is needed more is diligence and perseverance. If you really want to improve your alchemy skills, I can give you some pointers."

Under the guidance of Pharmacist Li, Gao Xingchen began to relearn the basics of alchemy and repeatedly practiced various alchemy techniques. He took the last failed case of refining Xingchen Dan as a valuable lesson, carefully analyzing each step and striving for perfection.

Nanli and Xuanfeng also fully supported him and provided him with the necessary herbs and tools. They believed that Gao Xingchen would be able to overcome the difficulties and eventually refine the perfect barrier-breaking pill.

As time went by, Gao Xingchen's alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of Pharmacist Li. His obsession to refine a perfect barrier-breaking pill also became stronger as time went by...

Gao Xingchen declined the invitation of his fellow disciples and his friend Xuanfeng's proposal to drink and eat meat together. He plunged into the alchemy room and began a new round of seclusion. He had only one goal in mind: to refine a perfect barrier-breaking pill!

Nanli and Xuanfeng expressed their understanding and support for Gao Xingchen's decision. They knew that for an alchemist, nothing was more exciting and satisfying than refining a perfect elixir.

"Xingchen, this is the 'Earth Core Fire Lotus' that I asked someone to find from the Southern Wilderness. It has a miraculous effect on improving the quality of elixirs. You can try it." Nanli handed Gao Xingchen an exquisite jade box. As soon as the jade box was opened, a refreshing fragrance wafted to his nose, refreshing his heart.

"And this, 'Tianxing Sand', can neutralize the medicinal properties and avoid medicinal conflicts." Xuanfeng also took out his own collection of alchemy herbs. These precious materials are rare treasures, which are enough to show their support for Gao Xingchen.

"Nanli, Xuanfeng, thank you!" Gao Xingchen was deeply moved. He knew that they had risked their lives and spent a great deal of money to obtain these precious medicinal materials. "I will not let you down!"

Gao Xingchen took the herbs solemnly and put them away carefully. He knew that these herbs represented the deep friendship of his friends and also carried his dreams and hopes.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the elixir to come out!

Gao Xingchen stepped into the alchemy room again, and this time, he was full of confidence. With the experience and lessons learned last time, plus the careful guidance of Pharmacist Li and the precious medicinal materials provided by Nanli and Xuanfeng, he believed that he would be able to refine a perfect barrier-breaking pill!

He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then put various medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one according to the recipe. As his fingertips urged the spiritual power, the flames in the alchemy furnace burned fiercely, reflecting his resolute face.

This time, Gao Xingchen was extremely focused, doing every step meticulously, not daring to slack off. He concentrated on controlling the flames, controlling the fusion and extraction of the medicinal materials, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he didn't care at all.

The flame in the alchemy furnace was stable and vigorous, and the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger, gradually filling the entire alchemy room. Gao Xingchen stared at the changes in the furnace fire, with a wise light flashing in his eyes. He knew that success or failure depended on this one move!

As time passed, Gao Xingchen's heart was in his throat. He felt that the pill was about to take shape, and the critical moment of success or failure was coming!

At this time, outside the alchemy room, Ling'er was paying close attention to Lin Feng's movements, ensuring that the alchemy process was not interfered with by the outside world...

The fire flickered, reflecting Ling'er's anxious face. She paced back and forth, looking up at the closed door of the alchemy room from time to time, her heart full of worry. Three full days and three nights had passed since Gao Xingchen began to refine this furnace of barrier-breaking pills. During this period, she stayed outside the door without moving, just to ensure that the alchemy process was not disturbed in any way.

She knew that this alchemy was of great significance to Gao Xingchen. In order to refine the perfect barrier-breaking pill, he not only rejected all invitations, but also completely locked himself in the alchemy room and devoted himself to alchemy. Ling'er knew Gao Xingchen's love and persistence for alchemy, and understood the responsibilities and expectations he shouldered.

"Brother Xingchen, you must succeed!" Ling'er prayed silently in her heart.

At this moment, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out from the alchemy room and filled the entire courtyard. Ling'er was refreshed and a surprised smile appeared on her face: "It's done! The elixir is done!"

She couldn't wait to knock on the door to congratulate him, but she stopped in her tracks when she thought of Gao Xingchen's repeated instructions to her not to disturb him no matter what happened.

"Wait a little longer, until Brother Xingchen comes out." Ling'er suppressed her excitement and continued to wait outside the door.

In the alchemy room, Gao Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement. After a long period of hard work, he finally succeeded in refining a perfect barrier-breaking pill!

The pill is in the shape of a round bead, crystal clear and emitting a soft glow. A strong medicinal fragrance fills the nose, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.

"Success! I finally succeeded!" Gao Xingchen clenched his fists excitedly, a gratified smile on his face.

He carefully put the pill into the jade bottle, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He knew that the quality of this Barrier Breaking Pill had far exceeded his expectations, even surpassing the pills refined by Pharmacist Li!

"With this barrier-breaking pill, I will be more confident of breaking through to the next level!" Gao Xingchen's heart was full of hope.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, accompanied by an arrogant voice: "Gao Xingchen, get out!"

Gao Xingchen frowned, and suddenly an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

He opened the door and saw Lin Feng and a group of disciples standing in the courtyard with a menacing look on their faces full of greed and malice.

"Lin Feng, what do you want to do?" Gao Xingchen asked coldly.

"What for? Hehe, I heard that you refined a high-quality barrier-breaking pill, so I came here specifically to ask for it!" Lin Feng said, staring greedily at the jade bottle in Gao Xingchen's hand.
