Because there is a person in the center of the formation.
A living person.
This is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a childish look on his face. He is dressed in white. In front of him, there is a black alchemy furnace. The boy is seriously activating the power of Lihuo to refine the elixir.
Even when Lu Chen and Su Xuan walked nearby, he didn't notice them.
This situation is really weird.
Lu Chen was able to break into this formation because of the strength of his formation master. He could understand the key points of any formation at a glance, but how could this young man have such ability?
If we try to break through forcefully, even a warrior at the ninth level of the Xiantian realm will definitely be dead. What's more, this young man is not very strong and is only at the third level of the Xiantian realm.
If he said that he broke in by mistake, Lu Chen would never believe it, because this eight-door life-and-death formation is extremely complex, and it is impossible to break into the formation by luck.
A young man broke into the center of the formation and was actually refining elixirs here.
It's simply baffling.
Lu Chen really couldn't understand, let alone Su Xuan. The two looked at each other in confusion, unable to understand.
At this time, the young man in white clothes in the center of the formation suddenly sighed and shouted loudly: "Oh, the furnace of divine marrow pills has been exhausted again.
It's a pity that I lost another 20,000 crystals of blue field flowers and cold spirit fruits, 2 taels of blue field flowers, 7 coins of Ganoderma lucidum, 3 taels of lantern grass, and 1 tael of asparagus grass. There is nothing wrong with the formula. What is the problem?
where?"
While the boy was talking to himself, he kept scratching his head with both hands, causing his hair to become messy.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Lu Chen and Su Xuan.
"You, you, you, what, what's going on with you?
Why is there anyone here?"
When the boy in white saw Lu Chen and the two of them, it was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He was so surprised that his eyes almost fell out and he couldn't even speak completely.
His level of surprise was obviously no less than Lu Chen's.
"Boy, what are you doing?
You are only allowed to break in here, aren't we allowed to come in?"
Su Xuan shouted.
The white-clothed young man Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "No, no, how can you break into the eight gates of life and death?"
Lu Chen smiled slightly and said: "It was just a fluke. The weather here suddenly changed and we accidentally broke in. Maybe because of the weather, the formation was a little abnormal."
"But, that's not right. The formation is abnormal, so no one should be able to break in. People who tried to break into the formation before all violated the restrictions and died. How did you two do it?"
The boy in white still looked surprised.
Lu Chen said: "We are just lucky, how did you get in?
Are you as lucky as us?"
"I have a way of getting in."
The boy in white said.
"Whatever way, kid, we can come in. Don't hide any way you can. Come and listen."
Su Xuan asked directly.
"This is a secret, I can't tell you."
The boy in white looked at Lu Chen and the two with some caution.
"The previous changes in the formation were probably caused by your alchemy, right?"
Lu Chen asked.
The young man in white nodded and said: "I didn't know that refining alchemy in the formation would cause so much trouble. Fortunately, this is the center of the formation, so it is very safe."
The eye of the formation is like the eye of a hurricane. The hurricane is extremely powerful, but the center of the eye is very calm. The same is true for the eye of the formation. If no one supports it, standing in the eye of the formation is absolutely safe. But if someone presides over the formation,
The array eye may move, so it cannot be said to be absolutely safe.
"Boy, you almost killed us."
Su Xuan said angrily.
Thinking of the previous scene of escaping in embarrassment in the formation, it turned out that it was all the fault of this kid, Su Xuan suddenly became furious.
The boy in white clothes wondered: "Isn't it because I touched the formation that you were able to break in?
That's what you said just now, it's only right that you two thank me."
Thank you so much.
Su Xuan cursed in his heart, but Lu Chen had said this before, so it was hard to refute his words immediately.
"We are lost now and don't know how to get out. I would like to ask you to lead the way."
Lu Chen smiled.
He wanted to see how this person broke into the formation.
The boy in white snorted and said, "You want me to lead the way?
No, wouldn’t that mean I’ve leaked the secret?”
Lu Chen smiled lightly and said, "It's okay if you don't lead the way, we can just follow you."
"Don't even think about it."
After a while, the young man in white seemed to feel that it was too inhumane to leave Lu Chen and Lu Chen here. Moreover, Lu Chen and Lu Chen were obviously not low in cultivation. One was at the third level of the innate realm and the other was at the second level of the innate realm. Even if they used force, they would still be able to fight one against the other.
Absolute advantage, but these two people had no intention of taking action.
"Since you two have no ill intentions, I don't want to embarrass you. As long as you contribute some herbs, I will take you out. You must have collected a lot of herbs along the way, at least a dozen or so, right?
I don’t want more, just give me three asparagus plants.”
The boy in white said.
"It takes three asparagus plants to lead the way. Do you know how much three asparagus plants are worth?
I have never seen such expensive tolls."
Su Xuan shouted.
Although the herbs he harvested today can be measured in "baskets," he was not willing to extort three asparagus plants from someone for nothing.
The young man in white rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I need to refine the marrow pill, but I am short of dragon beard grass. If the refining is successful, how about giving you a marrow pill?
A pill of divine marrow is worth at least 30,000 crystal stones, which is equivalent to three asparagus plants."
"That's great, but can you guarantee that you can refine the marrow pill?
I see that you just used up a furnace of elixirs, tens of thousands of crystals and herbs, turned into a lot of waste, what a waste of natural resources."
Su Xuan said unceremoniously.
The young man in white's face turned green and red, but he immediately raised his head and said with an arrogant expression: "I am a talented young alchemist from Liyang City.
The art of alchemy is extensive and profound, and it is normal to fail in one attempt. Which alchemist dares to say that he has never failed?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "You said you failed to refine the marrow pill how many times in total?"
"This, I can't remember this clearly, maybe three times, maybe four times."
The young man in white said hesitantly.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid you have done it thirty or forty times. You are really a prodigal. You have ruined hundreds of thousands of crystal stones."
Su Xuan sarcastically said.
Little did he know that Su Xuan's casual words would hit the young man in white's pain point. He said angrily: "Don't look down on others, I will succeed sooner or later."
Lu Chen said calmly: "Tell me how you refined the marrow pill?
Give it a try later and let me see how it goes."
The boy in white stared at Lu Chen with wide eyes: "Do you know how to make elixirs?"
"nonsense!"
Su Xuan said, "Brother Chen is a super alchemy master. Divine marrow pills and the like are just gadgets. Brother Chen simply doesn't bother to refine them."
Su Xuan had seen Lu Chen's level of alchemy. Although he had never seen Lu Chen refine the divine marrow pill, the divine marrow pill was only a third-grade elixir. When Lu Chen's meridians were destroyed in Shifeng City, his skill had not yet recovered.
Being able to use some extremely common herbs to refine high-grade Peiyuan Pills, even people like Su Xuan who knew nothing about alchemy could see Lu Chen's superb alchemy skills of turning stone into gold.
The young man in white naturally thought that Su Xuan was talking nonsense, and he said disdainfully: "Who can't brag and fart?
Did I also say that I can refine elixirs?
Do you believe it?"
"Give him three asparagus grass and see how he refines the marrow pill?"
Lu Chen said to Su Xuan.
From what Lu Chen had seen before, he felt that this young man still had considerable skills in alchemy, and that a young boy of 17 or 18 could start trying to refine elixirs like the Divine Marrow Pill.
He is very talented.
Moreover, at this age, this person has the third level of innate cultivation. Not to mention his alchemy skills, he can be compared with Nangong Xuan just in terms of cultivation talent.
However, there are many strange people in the world, and of course there are many geniuses. It is not surprising to meet such a person occasionally.
Su Xuan took out three asparagus plants and handed them to the boy in white.
"You are quite happy, don't worry, if I refine the marrow pill, I will never treat you badly."
The boy in white patted Su Xuan on the shoulder.
Su Xuan raised his nostrils to the sky and looked disdainfully.
He didn't care at all about this young man's so-called alchemy skills.
The young man in white took out more than twenty kinds of herbs from the storage bag on his body, and then displayed them together in categories.
Alchemy has strict requirements on the dosage and type of herbs, so all alchemists have a strong ability to identify herbs.
After processing them properly, the young man in white was ready to put these herbs into the black alchemy furnace in front of him.
"Three Cold Spirit Fruits are not enough, we need one more."
Lu Chen said suddenly.
He looked at the various herbs listed by the boy in white. From the formula, there was indeed nothing wrong with them, but there were still some minor problems.
The boy in white turned to face Lu Chen: "Why is it not enough?
Three taels of Cold Spirit Fruit, three is just enough."
Lu Chen said: "There is no problem with three taels of Cold Spirit Fruit, but the Cold Spirit Fruit in your hand is not old enough, and its medicinal power cannot keep up with that of Asparagus. Hanling Fruit is a cold medicine, while Asparagus is a warm herb, and
Shenmui Dan is an elixir that regulates the physical body. It requires appropriate cold and heat, and a balance of temperature and coolness. Now the Dragon Beard Herb has sufficient power, but the Hanling Fruit has insufficient power, which will lead to an imbalance of cold and heat.
Of course, if you have the ability to accurately sort out the elixir energy and properly release the excess medicinal power when refining the elixir, you can also successfully refine it, but I'm afraid you don't have this ability."
Alchemy requires not only fire control, but also conditioning of the alchemy energy, as well as promoting the fusion of medicinal power. It is completely multi-tasking. It not only has high requirements on the mind and will, but also requires the alchemist to have a strong ability to control the mysterious energy.
It requires insight into subtleties, multitasking, and high requirements for profound energy cultivation. This is why the threshold for alchemists is high.
The status of alchemists is very respected, and even low-level alchemists are treated very well, because alchemy is indeed too difficult.
However, the real difficulty of alchemy is not limited to this, because when you first start to learn how to make alchemy, you will definitely fail often. Once you fail, it means that all the herbs are wasted. If it is a cheap herb, then it is okay, but if it is a rare and expensive elixir, then
It would be a big loss.
Therefore, to become an alchemist, one must have a good family background and have enough crystal stones to spend.
