After half a month of training in the intermediate machine formation, Xia Yan's phantom body skills have become more mature. Compared with half a month ago, Xia Yan can now enter the intermediate machine formation with his eyes closed.
Every time, Xia Yan would train until the sun goes down and then stop.
As for Wang Tianhe and Michelle, the training time is also continuously extended. Of course, they still cannot persist for two hours. After all, they have no way to significantly reduce the speed of their spiritual power consumption.
Every attack by a machine man in the machine array will consume a lot of spiritual energy if it is resisted head-on.
…
On this day, after Xia Yan had dinner, he took Xiaoqing and Tugou for a walk on the street.
Although night has fallen, there are still many people walking on the long street. Various shops are still open.
The Song family and the Lu family, two big families in Ziye City, also avoided Xia Yan when they saw him. Apparently, their families had given orders that they were strictly prohibited from provoking Xia Yan.
They do this not because they have given up revenge, but because they do not have the ability to take revenge now.
Especially the Song family, it is impossible to give up revenge. Song Li will never forget his son's death. Sooner or later, he will find an opportunity to take revenge.
The Song family and the Lu family have naturally been at constant friction in recent times. Song Li learned through the fifth-level mercenary Mu Yu that the Lu family wanted to deal with him, and also wanted to kill Xia Yan by mistake, and then anger the dean of Purple Leaf College.
Liu Yun carried out violent revenge on the Song family. The angry Song Li quickly calmed down and did not immediately lead anyone to kill him.
As two evenly matched families, Song Li would not take action rashly. Doing so would only hurt both sides. If the Lu family was much weaker than the Song family, maybe Song Li would come directly to kill them.
However, he made many moves secretly, trying to unite other forces to suppress the Lu family. Of course, the Lu family would not just sit back and die, and the head of the Lu family, Lu Xiangpo, was also constantly adjusting his strength.
Therefore, these two families secretly collided no less than ten times in just half a month, but they have not completely exploded yet.
Both patriarchs are temple deacons and are bound by the temple.
For the sake of the prosperity and stability of Ziye City, the Holy Temple does not want the two families to really get into trouble, which would have a great impact on Ziye City itself.
In the evening, the two of them and the dog returned to the small courtyard. The coldness of the night had already come up. Xiaoqing was wearing a coat, and an intoxicating blush on her face was very attractive under the light.
"Xiao Qing, go to bed early." Xia Yan looked at Xiao Qing and said.
Xiao Qing nodded obediently, suddenly raised her head, looked at Xia Yan with beautiful eyes, opened her red lips several times, and finally said quietly, "Brother Xia Yan, I'm going back to the room."
"Good night, native dog." Xiaoqing waved her hand to the native dog again.
"Ouch." The native dog whined low and wagged its tail rapidly several times.
After saying goodbye to Xiaoqing, Xia Yan returned to the room.
"Squeak~"
The door was gently closed by Xia Yan.
"In the past half month, I have integrated hundreds of inferior secret books in the Scripture Pavilion, and the power of Lingluo Sword has been greatly improved. Half a month ago, I was able to exert the power of martial arts with more than two thousand degrees with all my strength.
Now, I'm afraid I can exert the power of 2,500 degrees of martial arts." Xia Yan's eyes flashed and he hung the Dawn Sword on the wall.
"Generally, a spiritual master who has just entered the realm of a great spiritual master can display the power of martial arts at about 2,500 degrees." Xia Yan thought in his mind.
"You have reached the peak level of a spiritual master. If you take another small step forward, you will become a great spiritual master."
At this moment, an old voice came into Xia Yan's ears.
Xia Yan was immediately overjoyed. He turned around and saw the old man of the Holy Emperor standing behind him.
It seemed that the old man's face looked much better than when he last appeared.
"Grandpa Holy Emperor, are you feeling well?" Xia Yan asked nervously and slightly excitedly.
The old man of the Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, rolled his eyes, pointed at himself and said, "I am just a soul body, how can my body be better? Huh, brat, I almost lost my life in order to save you."
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense for now. Are all the medicinal materials ready?" The old man of the Holy Emperor changed the topic and when he talked about the medicinal materials, his tone became serious again.
Xia Yan nodded quickly. Although he wanted to ask how the old man's health was, it seemed that the old man was unwilling to say more.
A room full of various medium and low-level medicinal materials, prepared half a month ago.
"That's good, let's start refining alchemy now. You don't have any experience now, so just start with the most basic first-grade elixir." The old man of the Holy Emperor nodded slightly.
"Okay." Xia Yan said excitedly.
Xia Yan has been waiting for this day for a long time.
When the two appeared in the right wing, the native dog was lying on the threshold, looking bored. When he saw Xia Yan, he stood up suddenly, his green eyes widening.
Xia Yan and the old man Shenghuang entered the right wing room together. The room was filled with various medicinal materials.
Six large boxes were filled with nearly one million gold coins of medicinal materials. The whole room was filled with the mixed smell of various medicinal materials. Although it was not pungent, it was definitely not pleasant. No wonder the native dog would rather lie on the doorstep.
, also unwilling to come in.
Xia Yan looked at the native dog, which was looking at the old man Holy Emperor curiously. This was also the first time it had seen the old man Holy Emperor.
"Let's make alchemy here, and we will make room for the cauldron." The old man of the Holy Emperor pointed at the cauldron and said to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan hurriedly responded, stacked several boxes aside, and then placed the half-person tall cauldron in the center of the room.
Xia Yan didn't know exactly how this cauldron was made, but it was worth tens of thousands of gold coins and was obviously not made of ordinary material. Moreover, the structure inside was also very complicated. Xia Yan could only see some round storage devices. And
, and there are some transparent crystal-like things inside.
"Let's start with refining the first-grade Qi and Blood Pill. You should prepare these medicinal materials first and mix them in different amounts." The old man of the Holy Emperor thought about it for a moment and said.
Qi-Blood Pill is a healing elixir, and its effect is ten times better than that of healing medicine. For ordinary wounds, as long as you take Qi-Blood Pill, the bleeding will stop immediately, and within half an hour, you will be 70-80% better.
It is still the effect of a first-grade elixir. If it is a seventh-grade or eighth-grade high-level Qi and Blood elixir, even a person who has lost half of his life can be alive again within the time of a cup of tea as long as he uses the elixir.
Of course, the price of elixirs is extremely high and ordinary people cannot afford them.
Even a first-grade Qi and Blood Pill requires three hundred gold coins to buy one. As for high-grade pills, they are even more expensive. Moreover, as long as a senior alchemist can refine seventh-grade and eighth-grade pills.
Ordinary adventurers use ordinary healing potions and blood pills. Perhaps only stronger spiritual masters will prepare some in case of injury.
"Why not refine the spirit-storing pill first?" Xia Yan asked doubtfully.
The spiritual storage pill allows cultivators to quickly absorb spiritual power and increase the upper limit of spiritual power in the body.
The old man of the Holy Emperor grimaced and said, "With your ability, there is no hope of success in refining the Spirit Storage Pill now. Huh, the difficulty of the same first-grade elixir is completely different. The Spirit Storage Pill is much harder to refine than the Qi and Blood Pill.
Times."
After hearing this, Xia Yan understood.
Carefully prepare the medicinal materials mentioned by the old man Holy Emperor in different amounts, and then look at the old man Holy Emperor.
"Put all these materials into the cauldron." The old man of the Holy Emperor pointed at the cauldron.
Xia Yan paused for a moment, then quickly followed the instructions.
Put the medicinal materials into the cauldron and close the lid. Xia Yan found that the cauldron seemed to be somewhat similar to the spiritual furnace seen in the home of the god-level blacksmith Qiu Shui.
"Close your eyes!" the old man of the Holy Emperor ordered.
Xia Yan didn't hesitate and quickly closed her eyes.
"Pour spiritual power into the cauldron, and then the spiritual sea can feel the presence of the medicinal materials. The soul power gathers in the cauldron through the meridians, and catalyzes the medicinal materials with soul power." The old man of the Holy Emperor spoke not slowly, and every word was clear.
passed into Xia Yan's ears.
"Pour spiritual power into the cauldron..."
"The soul power gathers in the cauldron..."
Xia Yan repeated, "Grandpa Holy Emperor, what is this soul power?"
Xia Yan knew about spiritual power, but soul power was unfamiliar to Xia Yan.
The old man of the Holy Emperor said casually, "Soul power is the power of the soul. What is in the purple cloud of your spiritual sea is the soul power. If you want to refine elixirs, you must be able to use the soul power accurately, otherwise you will not be able to become a spirit."
division."
Xia Yan nodded and tried to sense the medicinal materials in the cauldron.
At this time, a lot of spiritual power has been poured into the cauldron, and the spiritual power forms whirlpools in various storage areas of the cauldron, constantly squeezing and tearing various medicinal materials.
"Soul power...soul power..."
"This is really different from preparing medicine." Xia Yan thought to himself.
"Hey...I sensed it!"
Suddenly, Xia Yan felt a burst of pain coming from the Linghai. After he felt the medicinal materials, a purple light shot out from the purple clouds in the Linghai, turning the entire cauldron purple.
"Is this soul power?" Although Xia Yan felt waves of pain in his mind, he did not dare to interrupt. Instead, he carefully controlled the purple soul power to continuously moisten the medicinal materials in the cauldron.
The old man of the Holy Emperor on the side nodded, seeming very pleased.
"It's good to be able to force out the soul power for the first time." The old man of the Holy Emperor thought to himself.
At this time, Xia Yan was dealing with the soul power he had emitted. Although these purple soul powers came from his spiritual sea, it was extremely difficult to control them. The more carefully he tried to control them, the more pain he felt in his head.
It was so heavy that Xia Yan even felt a little dizzy.
"Buzz buzz~"
From the cauldron, there were waves of low chirping sounds.
"Alchemy is much more complicated than you think. Failure to make alchemy for the first time is nothing, but don't give up. Keep persisting!" The old man of the Holy Emperor said to Xia Yan in a deep voice.
Xia Yan's brows trembled violently for a few times, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his whole body was gradually enveloped in purple light. The purple light in the cauldron also became much quieter, as if it had turned into a stream of water that was constantly twisting.
flow.
"Pa bang bang~"
Several strong medicinal branches made a slight popping sound. The sound was inaudible, but Xia Yan heard it clearly.
"When will the alchemy be completed this time?" Xia Yan felt that the medicinal materials were changing, and his thoughts flickered slightly, but he immediately concentrated on controlling the purple soul power in the cauldron.
