sjar Chapter 276 Lesser Divine Pill
Chapter 276 Lesser Divine Pill
Chapter 276 After leaving Tiandao Peak, Li Lan headed directly to Tianhuo Peak and soon reached the summit of Tianhuo Peak via the mountain path.
Compared to other main peaks, Tianhuo Peak also has many grand buildings, but now they are all empty and almost all covered with a thick layer of dust.
Since the decline of Tianhuo Peak, no disciples have been recruited. Elder Fan Yuzhi has an eccentric personality and is unwilling to recruit disciples, so he is the only one on Tianhuo Peak!
"Li Lan greets Elder Fan!"
Upon arriving at a neat and tidy Taoist palace, Li Lan spoke calmly. The door creaked open, but he was greeted by two cold-faced zombie puppets.
The zombie puppets were made from human corpses. They were silent and motionless. They parted the path, and one of the zombie puppets stretched out its hand and made a "please" gesture. Li Lan immediately followed it, and soon they arrived in front of a pill-making room.
Pushing open the door, a surge of heat immediately swept into the alchemy room, making one feel as if it were the sweltering midday heat, causing restlessness. The firelight flickered in the room, and Fan Yuzhi's voice came: "Li Lan is here, come in quickly!"
Upon entering, in the center of the alchemy room stands an ancient bronze furnace with two handles and eight trigrams, as tall as a person. It is simple, heavy, and clearly not an ordinary object. It is bound by eight huge chains, and at the bottom is a bottomless fire hole from which eerie flames emerge.
Li Lan knew that beneath this alchemy furnace was the Heavenly Fire Peak fire vein drawn by a grand formation, and its quality was quite high, greatly benefiting alchemy and weapon crafting.
"Li Lan, come and give it a try!"
The obese Fan Yuzhi was preparing something by a huge stone basin on the left side of the alchemy room. He rolled up his sleeves and added various medicinal powders, minerals, and animal blood to the huge stone basin, making the basin full of colorful liquids with a very strange taste.
But as Li Lan approached, he felt that the spiritual energy and medicinal aura were extremely concentrated!
This enormous stone basin contains countless precious medicinal herbs!
"Your physique is special; you need a period of nurturing before entering the Eight Trigrams Furnace!"
Fan Yu smiled and said, "You need to soak in it for three months. Only after your body has absorbed all the medicinal properties can you withstand the earth fire burning you when you enter the Eight Trigrams Furnace and finally break free from your cocoon and become a butterfly!"
He couldn't wait any longer and said, "Let's go in!"
This pot of precious medicine was actually prepared for Li Lan.
Li Lan glanced at the setup in the arena and felt a chill run down her spine.
If he were truly a mortal who had just begun cultivating and knew nothing, that would be one thing. But he had mastered all the Dao in the underworld; what insight did he possess? How could he not see that Fan Yuzhi was clearly treating him as a key ingredient?
They're trying to refine pills!
Before refining the pill, it is necessary to sift and nurture the medicine. Putting him in the stone basin is not because we are afraid that he will not be able to withstand the earth fire after entering the pill furnace, but because we are afraid that the medicinal properties of Li Lan are insufficient and will affect the quality of his pill.
Fan Yuzhi's earlier suggestion to emulate Laozi's method of refining the Battle Demon God to help Li Lan was actually a scheme with ulterior motives!
However, Li Lan didn't say anything, remaining quite calm. He immediately took off his clothes, entered the huge stone basin, and started the soaking process.
"Yes, that's it. Let's soak it for a month and see the results!"
Fan Yuzhi rubbed his hands together, his gaze towards Li Lan filled with eagerness, as if he were looking at a rare treasure!
"I will continue to refine medicine for you. You shall stay here and not leave without my permission, understand?"
He waved his hand, and a zombie puppet immediately stood guard beside him.
Fan Yuzhi left.
Li Lan soaked in the large stone basin, but let out a slight, cold laugh.
Without hesitation, he immediately began absorbing the medicinal energy and spiritual essence from the stone basin!
The colorful medicinal liquid transformed into streams of energy that permeated his body. In just two days, the entire pool of liquid had completely faded into ordinary water. When Fan Yuzhi arrived after receiving the message from the zombie puppet, he was stunned.
"So fast?!"
Li Lan looked puzzled and said, "Elder, what's going on? The color faded while I was soaking it..."
"It's not that the color has faded, it's that many of the medicinal properties have been taken away by the main ingredient..."
Fan Yuzhi murmured, but then became even more delighted!
What does this mean? It means the main ingredient is extremely potent!
He had previously heard Elder Helian Ba say that Li Lan's physique was very special, and that there was no change after absorbing spiritual energy, and now it seemed that it was indeed true.
The stronger the main ingredient, the higher the quality of the final minor divine pill will be. Who knows, I might even be able to refine the legendary top-grade minor divine pill?
"I'm not worried about you absorbing it quickly, I'm worried about you not being able to absorb it at all, haha..."
His eyes grew even more eager as he said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go get you some new medicine right away!"
After saying that, he immediately went to get many bottles and jars, all of which were his savings over the years and the refinement he had made during this period. He poured them all into the stone basin, which then became a mottled, colorful mess.
"Hmm, at this rate, I'll have to speed up the preparation of the medicine..."
Fan Yuzhi turned and left. He selected all the available medicinal herbs, which should be enough for two or three more infusions.
He immediately buried himself in the task of refining the medicine. The flames in the alchemy room burned day and night. After he put various raw materials into the furnace, they turned into powder, which was then poured into Li Lan's bathtub.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye!
"That's way too fast!"
Upon seeing the stone basin turn transparent once again, Fan Yuzhi couldn't help but frown!
For the past ten days, he, a dignified alchemy master and Dao Palace elder, has been like a slave working under the cover of darkness, working day and night without a moment to catch his breath, frantically refining medicine!
But Li Lan's body was like an insatiable glutton. Every time he was about to rest, it would be completely absorbed again, forcing him to keep going and even speed up his training as time went on, otherwise he would fall behind.
In just ten days, he, who was originally very fat and prosperous, actually looked a bit thinner!
After all, alchemy is extremely mentally taxing, and he attaches great importance to the Lesser Divine Pill, so he is very dedicated and is now truly exhausted.
"Elder, why don't you take a rest..."
Li Lan looked guilty and said, "I really feel bad that the elder has gone to so much trouble for me."
Fan Yuzhi retorted angrily, "Stop? Stop my ass! Don't you even know the way to nourish medicine? Its nature is formed daily, and ice is frozen over time. Only through continuous and uninterrupted growth can the medicinal properties remain unchanged. If you stop cooking rice halfway through, let it cool down, and then start cooking it again, wouldn't that result in half-cooked rice?!"
He couldn't help but swear!
The main problem is that he's exhausted, and now all the suitable medicinal herbs on Tianhuo Peak have been used up!
It should be noted that as the top alchemy master of the Dao Palace, he could choose and use any medicinal herbs cultivated in the Dao Palace's medicinal fields. However, his carefully selected reserves over the decades were all used up by Li Lan in just ten days.
It hurts!
It's one thing to feel sorry for her, but the most troublesome thing is that, judging from Li Lan's current situation, this is just the beginning.
How much more is needed to complete the process?
It's not that the Dao Palace's medicinal materials are insufficient. The Dao Palace has 108 main peaks, covering thousands of miles of blessed land, and produces enough spiritual herbs every day to fill carts and bushels. However, the medicinal materials used for the Lesser Divine Pill are specific, difficult to find, and hard to store. The types, ages, and grades are all extremely limited!
"Alright, alright, let's use my precious medicine to tide us over for a while!"
He was heartbroken and hesitated repeatedly before taking out a bright red blood pill. He held it in his palm and rubbed it repeatedly, clearly showing how precious this pill was to him.
"Boy, do you know how much effort I put into refining this pill? It took me thirty years to collect all the ingredients, and another three months of arduous refining to succeed. This pill contains all five elements and can be considered a top-grade pill..."
"If you betray me, I will not spare you!"
After saying this fiercely, he put the pill into the medicinal bath. With his magical power, the pill turned into a blood-red color, and Li Lan seemed to be soaking in blood.
"Comfortable!"
Li Lan was also slightly surprised. Although the medicinal power of this pill was not as good as the Nine Yang Reversal Yin Pill that Elder Luo Chuan gave him, it was still an absolute treasure and priceless!
"I'm really going all out to keep the medicine burning for you."
Seeing Li Lan's expression of enjoyment, Fan Yuzhi felt even more resentful and pained, then turned and left!
He needs to find more medicine and collect more, otherwise the plan to cultivate medicine will not be able to hold up!
"Elder Fan, you'll have to put in a lot of effort..."
Li Lan couldn't help but laugh as she watched Fan Yuzhi leave!
In ten days, his spiritual energy accumulated to an astonishing level, and the panel values had changed:
Host: Li Lan
Cultivation Level: Mortal (Yang), On the Path (Yin)
Cultivation Techniques: *The Thirteen Characters of the Ordinary Scripture* (incomplete), *Limitless Battle Technique* (learned), *The Great Dao True Eye Technique* (Heavenly Eye Realm), *True Dragon Technique* (learned), *Mending the Heavens Technique* (learned)...
Authority: Authority of Reincarnation
Spiritual Energy Points: 4,720,000
Four million seven hundred and twenty thousand points!
This number is truly astonishing.
The biggest contributor was Elder Luo Chuan's pill, which directly increased his points by over a million. Fan Yuzhi's Blood Pill was also quite good, adding several hundred thousand points.
"Is it possible to infuse it into the mortal scriptures? It is estimated that it can be cultivated to the third transformation of the Nine Lines Transformation Realm."
A line of small print flashed before Li Lan's eyes.
Li Lan was shocked. He could only cultivate to the third transformation of the Nine Hexagrams?
This mortal scripture... is somewhat outrageous!
All the pills he consumed were carefully selected by Fan Yuzhi, and were absolutely enough to enable a cultivator with decent aptitude to cultivate to the level of Six Internal Organs Spiritual Nourishment or Five Viscera Divine Connection, or even higher!
Li Lan felt a slight sense of unease. This meant that from now on, he would need to expend an enormous amount of resources to cultivate the Mortal Scripture.
Even if the entire Dao Palace gave its all, it would probably still be far from enough for him.
He couldn't help but give up the idea of starting to cultivate the mortal scriptures right now.
What he needed was to accumulate enough spiritual energy points so that he could cultivate to a certain level directly, and only then could he reliably deal with the evil spirit hidden in the words.
The third level of the Nine Lines Transformation is still not enough!
……
And this moment.
"Do we need the entire palace's resources to search for the elixir?"
On Tiandao Peak, Changsun Xu listened to Fan Yuzhi's report and couldn't help but frown.
He was starting to suspect that Fan Yuzhi was trying to line his own pocket. Could Li Lan's constitution really be that outrageous?
"Not bad!"
Fan Yuzhi spoke solemnly, saying, "Elder Helian, Palace Master, Li Lan's aptitude, even in ancient times, would definitely be considered a heaven-defying physique. His consumption of resources is terrifying. We have already exhausted all the suitable medicinal herbs on our peak. To be honest, before coming here, in order to ensure a continuous supply of nourishing herbs, I even gave Li Lan my own Five Elements Blood Qi Pill."
"However, the better his aptitude, the rarer the divine substance within him, and the higher the quality of the Lesser Divine Pill will naturally be. I, Fan, am confident... that I can refine a top-grade Lesser Divine Pill!"
Top-grade minor divine pill!
Upon hearing this, both Changsun Xu and Helian Ba were tempted!
"Very well, the Lesser Divine Pill is our only hope for breakthrough. We must use all our resources to refine it!"
Helian Ba spoke.
Changsun Xu nodded: "I'll make the arrangements!"
