"I've raised it for so long and it hasn't been born yet. Could it be that the egg is broken?"
Liu Qinghuan smiled with a smile on his face. After saying this, he felt the phoenix egg under his palm move slightly, as if in protest, and a brilliant light quickly flowed through the dense mysterious patterns on the surface of the egg shell.
Since getting the phoenix egg, Liu Qinghuan first went to the Land of Ten Thousand Ancestors, and then the interface overlapped, the battle field was restarted, the Immortal Dojo, etc. Until now, he finally had some free time, so while pondering the immortal arts every day,
Then he took it with him to nourish it with his magic power and essence and blood.
Compared with the original, although it is not known how long it will take for the phoenix eggs to hatch, the outer layer of green-skinned eggshells looks much thinner, gradually revealing a beautiful and clear luster.
Whenever he puts his hand on it, he can feel warmth and a weak but very lively consciousness. Through the connection established by the blood essence and soul contract for so many days, it conveys its happy or naughty emotions.
Liu Qinghuan felt slightly relieved, touched the eggshell again, then stood up and walked to the corner of the quiet room and opened the door there.
A heat wave immediately hit us. Behind the door was an alchemy room, which was several times wider than the quiet room next to it. There were several wooden shelves standing against the wall, on which were neatly placed various kinds of products that had been refined or to be processed.
of spiritual materials and elixirs.
In the middle of the room, there was the Shennong Cauldron surrounded by fire. The cauldron sometimes trembled and sometimes rotated slightly, and from time to time there was a rumbling sound like thunder. The rich medicinal gas spurted out from the air outlet on the cauldron, filling the entire room.
Alchemy room.
Liu Qinghuan walked over, took out several pieces of shining forged wood and added them to the bottom of the cauldron, and the flames instantly rose.
He slapped it with a palm, and the heavy cauldron lid flew up and hovered on the side. He looked inside and saw only a ball of purple water boiling and rolling in the cauldron in the thick mist.
"Well, it should be almost done."
Liu Qinghuan waved, and a jade box flew from a shelf not far away. The lid of the box was opened, and there was a golden rhizome inside.
The rhizome was no longer than a palm long and looked very much like a dragon. It had a head, a body and a tail. Even the fine scales were vaguely visible. The roots spread out like dragon whiskers. After Liu Qinghuan took it in his hand, he suddenly seemed to be alive.
Usually the head is held high.
Before it really came to life, it was thrown into the Shennong Cauldron, and the scorching heat quickly melted it into a pool of water.
With a bang, a violent explosion seemed to have occurred in the cauldron, and a stream of liquid medicine suddenly shot up. He shook his head and tail and wanted to escape, but was covered by a green light and was forced back.
"Roar~" Suddenly the roar of a giant dragon came from the cauldron, and the sound was terrifying. After a while, there was the sound of clashing gold and silver swords, as if two people met in the small Shennong cauldron.
There was a disagreement and a fight broke out.
The sound lasted for a long time, and Liu Qinghuan kept guarding the cauldron, throwing in a few spiritual materials from time to time, as if adding fuel to the fire of both sides, making the battle more intense, until the battle was full of excitement.
When the drums were finally sounded and the troops were withdrawn, several days later, the entire alchemy room was filled with a strong aroma of medicine, and the mist flowed between the wooden frames and stone platforms, but it could not escape due to the blockade of the formation.
At this time, the elixir liquid in the cauldron had changed from purple to deep red, and the small ball gradually took the shape of the elixir. A meandering and vivid little golden dragon sometimes flew and circled in the mist of the medicine, and sometimes plopped down.
Playing happily in the elixir liquid is quite magical.
Liu Qinghuan wiped away the hot sweat on his forehead that had been evaporated by the fire, and there was a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
What he was refining in this furnace was the Giant Dragon Baizhan Dan. The elixir was obtained from the Qingluan tribe. It is a strange elixir that can greatly increase strength in a short period of time. It takes a long time to refine and is extremely difficult.
Liu Qinghuan also only collected one piece of spiritual material, so he was extremely careful when refining it. Fortunately, the most difficult step was almost completed, and the long process of accumulating elixirs was next.
After closing the cauldron lid and closing the magic circle, Liu Qinghuan returned to the quiet room next to him, sat down next to the phoenix egg, and continued to meditate on the upright shadowlessness.
The days passed slowly while he was practicing immortal arts, refining elixirs, and hatching eggs(?). Occasionally, Liu Qinghuan would leave Shangqing Youxu Cave Heaven and go to Jiufeng in the front mountain to handle some sect affairs.
The sect was stable, and many disciples above Nascent Soul were traveling abroad or going to the Mingshan Battlefield. Even Mu Yinyin went to the Demon Clan Holy Pond in the Land of Ten Thousand Ancestors to practice in seclusion.
The Land of Ten Thousand Ancestors has now been moved back to the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm. Di Ao once wrote a letter saying that the Holy Pool is mostly filled with water, and the underground palace outside is also being rebuilt. The wasteland that has been freed from evil spirits has been replanted with spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses.
, given time, it will surely be able to regain its former glory.
Friends are busy with their own affairs, and there is nothing in the sect. There is no news from Banshan Academy about the overlap of interface spaces. Liu Qinghuan rarely has peace and quiet. After practicing alchemy, he will go to Yun Yi to drink tea and chat.
Before Yun Mengze returned to the Wanhu Realm, there were two god-transformation monks from the Wenshi Sect who were in charge of the sect, Kong Wu and Yun Yi.
Kong Wu has also made considerable progress in his practice over the years. Of course, he cannot compare with a pervert like Liu Qinghuan, but now he has reached the middle stage of integration.
The last time the interface between Wangchuan Guixi and Tianzhu Realm overlapped, Liu Qinghuan also thought of looking for Kong Wu who also had the same way to cultivate space. However, he was traveling abroad at that time and disappeared for a while, so he found someone else.
Compared with the acquaintance Kong Wu, Liu Qinghuan interacted less with Yun Yi. Most of them were in formal occasions or when important matters were discussed, and there were very few private interactions.
Firstly, the other party also likes to run around and is away from the sect all the year round. Secondly, as Liu Qinghuan’s cultivation becomes higher and higher, many of his former friends will distance themselves from each other.
After all, it's hard not to feel a strong sense of disparity when you see a yellow-haired kid whose cultivation level was far lower than your own. One day, he actually surpasses you and goes further and further beyond you, even to the point where you can't catch up.
At this time, those who are eager to flatter others will come to flatter them, while those who are strong and self-respecting will quietly stay away. Only a few people can remain unmoved and maintain their consistent attitude in the past without forgetting their original intentions.
Yun Yi is obviously a person with a strong self-esteem. Since Yun Mengze returned to the Wanhu Realm, his cultivation has almost stagnated. He has never made a breakthrough since the Yinxu Realm, so he does not want to see his old friend.
However, in recent years, perhaps because he knew that there was no hope, or perhaps because he was overthinking it, he didn't go out very often. After Liu Qinghuan returned to the sect, he even took the initiative to come to him for tea.
Liu Qinghuan was good at everything, so they sat together to pass the time in their spare time, still calling each other senior brother.
After having more personal contacts with him, I discovered that Yun Yi is also a wonderful person. He has extensive experience due to his many years of travel, and his conversation is also very interesting.
There's just one bad thing about him, he's a bad chess player.
"Alas, I made a wrong move, I should have gone here!" After a chess piece fell, Yun Yi immediately regretted it and stretched out his hand again.
Liu Qinghuan twisted the chess pieces and laughed, saying: "You have no regrets when you make a move, senior brother, you can't be so shameless."
"I'm so old. If I make a move, I'm not a scoundrel. At most, I'm a dim-sighted person!" Yun Yi argued forcefully and moved the black chess piece to another position.
"How many times have your eyes become blurry?"
"Hey, this is the last time. I will never regret playing again in the future. I guarantee it with the quality of the game!"
Liu Qinghuan was very suspicious of his chess skills, but had no choice but to let him go.
The two were chatting while playing chess, and Yun Yi asked: "I heard that a top-quality spiritual vein was discovered in the Mingshan Battlefield some time ago, and many people went to dig for it. Why don't you stay there for a while?"
Liu Qinghuan looked indifferent and said casually: "I haven't heard about this. I went back to Yunmengze as soon as I left the Immortal Dojo. Forget it, although the top-grade spiritual veins are good, there are too many people competing for them, so I still won't get the share.
It’s lively.”
Yun Yi looked at him and said with a smile: "Yes, at your current level, most things in the battlefield can only be regarded as ordinary. Competing with others for profit has indeed somewhat lost your identity."
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said: "There is no such thing as identity, but what my senior brother said before is not wrong. Ordinary spiritual objects are indeed of little use to me. Speaking of this, last time my senior brother mentioned the Immortal Creation.
Gen, is there any progress in that matter?"
"Yes!" Yun Yi sat up straight: "I also heard some news from a friend back then. After you asked, I sent a letter to that friend, and the reply only arrived two days ago."
He took out a communication talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Qinghuan while saying: "And he actually doesn't know much. He just heard that the elders in the sect once mentioned a place, and he is not sure whether that thing is a blessing or not."
Immortal roots.”
Liu Qinghuan took the talisman and looked down quickly. When he saw a picture drawn with extremely simple brushwork, he couldn't help but look closely, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"It looks like! It's so similar. It's very similar to the description of the Immortal Root of Creation that I heard in the Immortal Dojo. It should be it!"
