Alchemy room, directly above the beast head.
A slightly golden fireball burned fiercely, and in its center, a crimson bead was slowly rotating. Beside it, a young man with a pale complexion was controlling the flame with a solemn expression.
In the blink of an eye, it had already been ten days. Since he used up all his Jing Yuan Pills, Lin Xuan had been relying on his own Spiritual Power to support himself. In these past ten days, although it couldn’t be said that it felt like a year, he had really suffered a lot.
Especially this morning, Lin Xuan felt that he had reached his limit. If he persisted, not only would there be no hope in refining the Magic Artifact, but his realm would definitely also regress.
Lin Xuan sighed and was about to give up. This time, it wasn’t that he didn’t work hard, but that he was a little unlucky. However, at this moment, the Mystic Fire God Pearl suddenly spun and radiated an unusually dazzling light.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. This was obviously a precursor to the completion of the Magic Artifact’s refinement ceremony.
Therefore, he gathered all his strength and circulated the energy within his body. Just like squeezing water out of a sponge, the last bit of Vital Qi within his body was mobilized, forming a small, thumb-sized ball of light.
He then carefully sent the ball of light into the Mystic Fire God Pearl, and then continued to spurt his Innate True Fire to refine it.
He continued till daytime.
It had only been six hours, but for Lin Xuan, it was extremely difficult. It wasn’t until the sun had set that the Mystic Fire God Pearl suddenly trembled violently, as if it was about to fly away at any moment.
Lin Xuan was not surprised, but rejoiced. He quickly grabbed a handful of Spirit Replenishing Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills and swallowed them. When the power of the pill dissipated slightly, he immediately made a hand-seal and used a Magic Art, firing several beams of light into the flame.
Thud! The fireball first expanded and then shrank sharply, as if it had been inhaled by the Mystic Fire God Pearl.
This process was extremely short, and soon, the flames entered into the bead and disappeared.
Lin Xuan then waved his hand with a smile on his face, and the Magic Artifact flew into his hand like an intelligent creature. Looking at it, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He did not need to waste too much of his Spiritual Power. It was indeed like the description in the Jade slip, and it had made a connection with himself.
The effect was even better than expected. Although he hadn’t tried it yet, he believed that it could unleash about fifty percent of its power, which was far beyond his expectations.
However, Lin Xuan didn’t have the time to rejoice, nor did he have the time to carefully appreciate it. After putting it into his storage bag in a hurry, he began to sit cross-legged in meditation.
In the meantime, he consumed a lot of medicine pills. But it wasn’t until the next morning that the situation got slightly better. Whether it was the Foundation Establishment Pill or the Sprite Replenishing Pill, they could both increase and supplement Spiritual Power respectively. But as for the lost Vital Qi, they offered almost no help at all.
After a night of hard work, Lin Xuan just barely maintained his cultivation realm for the time being. Moreover, his current situation was very dangerous.
So without saying anything, he immediately came to Medicine Garden again.
Coincidentally, the person who received him was still Feng Sheng.
Seeing Lin Xuan’s pale complexion, Feng Sheng was shocked. He thought that Lin Xuan had made a mistake in his cultivation, so he hurriedly came over to greet him.
Although he knew the other party had kind intentions, Lin Xuan was not in the mood to talk to him. He quickly took out the pill recipe and asked him to prepare the various medicinal materials according to it.
Since he had received a lot of benefits from Lin Xuan last time, Feng Sheng naturally didn’t have a lot to say, and immediately selected all kinds of herbs for Lin Xuan.
After taking them, he also gave him ten Spirit Stones as a reward.
Of course, it wasn’t the price to buy these materials. As the junior sect master, Lin Xuan had a special offering every month and was given a certain amount of herbs with certain grades for free.
These Spirit Stones were for Feng Sheng. The other party was overjoyed and looked gratefully at Lin Xuan again.
For such a person who was greedy for money, it was easy to buy him off by giving benefits. Of course, the number of benefits also needed to be considered. If he gave too much, it would easily arouse the other party’s greed.
Ten spirit stones should be just right.
However, Lin Xuan only brought him over to be his eyes and eyes. Now he was in no mood to ask for information. After a few words of advice, he returned to his Cave Mansion and then began the purification and refinement of the “Jing Yuan Powder” medicine pill.
After last night’s meditation, his Spiritual Power barely recovered to the seventh layer, but due to his severe loss of Vital Qi, this purification was extremely difficult. Each material failed several times, and the time spent was several times as long as before.
“Young master, you should rest first, let me refine this pill.”
Yue’er and Lin Xuan signed a master and servant blood contract. Although they couldn’t be said to be of the same mind, they could also sense each other. Just after finishing her seclusion and refining the strange dagger, she felt Lin Xuan’s poor physical condition and quickly flew over.
Looking at the worried girl, Lin Xuan nodded. At this moment, he was indeed a bit powerless. Although he didn’t know how good her skill in alchemy was, he could only leave it to her.
He loaded the raw materials into the Pill Furnace, and threw the Jade slip which contained the recipe to Yue’er, and then fell into meditation.
Nine days later, Yue’er finally refined the Jing Yuan Powder.
Perhaps it was because of luck that she succeeded this time.
Unfortunately, due to lack of raw materials, there was only half a furnace worth of pills, but for Lin Xuan, it was like rain after a long drought.
He consumed the pills and began to digest them.
After half a month, although he did not fully recover, it was a lot better. At least the danger of falling in the cultivation realm was basically lifted. Of course, if he wanted to restore it to his condition, he still needed to nurse himself.
He also needed to eat more Jing Yuan Powder.
However, after Lin Xuan thought about it for a while, he didn’t go to Medicine Garden again. After all, this sect’s alchemists were not stupid. As long as one looked at the records of the materials he needed, one could guess what pill he wanted to refine.
So many batches of Jing Yuan Powder could easily lead to suspicion. It was not a bad idea for him to be careful. Since he had recovered some of his Vital Qi, he simply decided to go to a market nearby.
These herbs are not difficult to buy.
In this way, Lin Xuan spent another month to finally replenish the lost Vital Qi, while at the same time, earning the amazingly powerful Mystic Fire God Pearl.
