  A new week, a new start, a new book is growing vigorously ~ seeking recommendation votes ~~

  ……

  The entire aura changed to a cyan and blue intertwined pattern, with the symbol seal attached to the ground, and the texture deeply sunken. In front of Mu Lingwei was a white porcelain tripod furnace, exquisitely crafted, with phoenix patterns, mysterious beasts, and magical cores, carved vividly as if alive, with two ears protruding in a lotus shape, one foot long, and the tripod over one zhang high.

  "Wǔ pǐn dān yào jiào nǐ suī shuō wèi shí guò zǎo, dàn jīn tiān yǐ jìng pèng dào le, néng xué duō shao jiù xué duō shao ba." Mù líng wēi yǎn shén sù mù, níng zhòng bù yǐ. Wǔ pǐn yì jīng dān, nǎ pà shì tā, liàn zhì qǐlái yě jué fēi yì shì.

  Her feet moved lightly, her five fingers waved gently, and the mysterious blue-green aura swept past. A piece of Yang knife red ganoderma was affected by it, and in an instant, it was pinched on the fingertips. The gentle finger flicked, and the Yang knife red ganoderma shot into the cauldron like an arrow off the string. Three feet away from the cauldron, the mysterious blue-green aura wandered around Mu Ling's slender body, and the aura lingered on her fingertips. Her arm moved slightly, and it seemed as if she had released a magnet in her palm, and the aura instantly condensed into a ball.

  She rose lightly, floating in mid-air. Her jade palm patted gently, circling around the two sides of the cauldron, and the mysterious blue-green aura gradually seeped into the cauldron. Between her and the cauldron, it seemed as if a dreamy, illusory bond had been added.

  "Hum". A red flame burst forth from the white jade tripod, with a dark blue hue hidden within the fiery red. The yang knife and red reishi mushroom that had entered the tripod immediately floated and merged into the flames, rolling and churning.

  "The Easy Canon Dan auxiliary material Yang knife red Poria, belongs to fire, first into the cauldron, easy to ignite, the mysterious energy enters seven becomes." Mu Ling Wei explained the operation steps, only surprising Chen Mo a burst of applause.

  "Turns out a master doesn't need to hold the tripod when refining medicine?" Chen Mo exclaimed in surprise.

  "Be careful." Mu Lingwei rebuked Chen Mo for the first time, and her originally gentle and beautiful face turned serious, with a stern expression, her eyes fixed intently on the cauldron, as if she were a strict teacher guiding an outstanding student.

  A sudden inspiration, Chen Mo immediately gathered his mind, unfolded his divine thoughts, merged into the cauldron, and carefully observed the refining process.

  Mulingwei's Xuanqi poured into the cauldron wall, and the inscription array was activated, transforming into a green flame. The medicinal materials were seen rolling within it, their surface being roasted until they crackled, removing impurities like silk being unwound from a cocoon.

  She suddenly floated in mid-air, the breath between her palms like a turbulent wave, and rapidly advanced forward with a sudden burst of speed. After spinning around in mid-air for a circle, a spiritual herb was pinched into her fingertips, and with a light flick, the spiritual herb left her fingers and merged into the fierce flames within the cauldron.

  "I Ching Dan supporting material white frost solid, water-based, re-enter the furnace, extinguish red flame, enter Xuan Qi eight or nine become, with Yang knife red Atractylodes fire-based mutually inhibitory, but both must be simultaneously refined, in order to obtain the essence, note that the fire should be stable."

  As soon as the wooden spirit finished speaking, Ling Kong's ethereal body floated and fluttered, with both palms in front, along the milky white tripod furnace, spinning and floating. The speed gradually increased, suddenly stopped abruptly, the body flipped back, the lotus foot lightly stepped on the cyan-blue gauze wall, stirring up a wave of ripples above, the slender body like a floating ribbon, the jade palm alternated in front swinging, the mysterious blue gas, rapidly merged into the tripod.

  In the cauldron, fierce flames are generated by the expansion of the mysterious energy, closely adhering to the cauldron wall and rotating. The two sets of medicinal materials also rotate in reverse, like the intersection of Taiji, yin and yang harmonize, rolling and colliding with the fire wall "crackling" sounds.

  Suddenly, the flame of the Yang knife and the Chi Ling fire surged greatly, forcing the white frost to violently collide with the cauldron wall, rebounding and coming back. The two clashed, a loud "bang" sound echoed, causing Chen Mo to retreat continuously.

  The dizzying transformation left Chen Mo's eyes spinning, and when he looked again, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the cauldron. Mu Lingwei withdrew her hand and gently shook her sleeve, the blue smoke piercing through the blue-green mask and disappearing in an instant, her face growing even more solemn.

  "It's over." Chen Mo muttered to himself, feeling something was off. He took a swift step and ran to the back of Mù Língwēi, steadied his footing in an eight-trigram stance, stretched out both palms, ready to catch Mù Língwēi as she fell.

  Seemingly perceptive, the wooden spirit saw that Chen Mo's lotus foot was lightly lifted, and with a sideways movement, she stepped onto his shoulder, sweeping over his head and landing steadily on the ground.

  Unexpectedly, the Five-Piece Elixir was indeed difficult to refine. With its conflicting water and fire properties and harmonious fusion of yin and yang, ordinary alchemists found it hard to grasp. Having just added two medicinal ingredients, the first attempt ended in failure.

  Chen Mo's heart tightened, and this way there were only two chances left.

  The loss of medicine is a small matter, Chen Mo worried that his master would suffer from backlash, and hurriedly went up to anxiously ask: "Master, are you alright?"

  Beautiful eyes flashed a hint of gentleness, Mu Lingwei looked at Chen Mo and said: "You'd better be prepared for the psychological blow of failure."

  The first failure in refining also brought a certain psychological pressure to Mulanwei.

  "Don't worry, Master. Even if we fail, it doesn't matter." Chen Mo's chest thumped loudly, but his heart was racing wildly, almost jumping out of his throat.

  Mulingwei gathered her spirit, her lotus feet lightly treading, the tips of her toes leaving the ground, her white skirt floating. Her slender jade fingers passed over her head, naturally dispersing like a fairy drifting across the heavenly river in a painting, Mulingwei was already suspended in mid-air.

  Essence poured in, the first flavor of medicinal material has entered the cauldron. Again encountering the momentum of water and fire repelling each other, two flavors of medicinal material under the urging of essence, rapidly revolve at the center of the flames. Slender body moved forward, jade fingers close to the lotus cauldron handle, with gentle breath urging, that cauldron lid shook and swayed.

  Chen Mo's tension reached its peak, his eyes scrutinizing every detail, his mind fully immersed in the cauldron. He saw the impurities and toxins on the surface of the medicinal materials slowly separating, the flames like a thousand needles absorbing them, extracting the essence, the boiling momentum like a thousand arrows firing simultaneously, layer upon layer of white crystal gradually appearing.

  "Hundred Filter Sacred Bow Hand." Chen Mo couldn't help but let out a low cry.

  "A call", a flame rose from the cauldron, and a piece of hundred-year-old green sandalwood had entered the cauldron.

  "A hundred-year-old green sandalwood marrow, with a wooden nature, is the main medicine for the Elixir of Easy Change, refined and tempered to reduce it to 50%." Mu Lingwei said lightly.

  Three flavors of medicinal materials were extracted at the same time. Chen Mo couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and he secretly wiped a handful of sweat in his heart.

  The wood pulp entered the cauldron, and the flames suddenly became much gentler. Upon closer inspection, it was as if the grains were exploding in a burst of fire, accompanied by each movement, the bursting wood pulp turned golden yellow and shone brightly. The mysterious energy stirred up the inscriptions, adhering to the surface of the wood pulp, grain by grain, closely connected, and in just a few breaths, a long line had already formed.

  Immediately afterwards, other auxiliary medicines were incorporated one by one. Mugwort's suspended body posture kept changing, and the mysterious energy surged in to adjust at any time. Upon close inspection, jade-like cheeks were sweating profusely, revealing the hardships of tempering.

  "Extending the scalp and pulling the fingers"

  More than a dozen flavors of refined medicine were distributed in the cauldron, surrounded by flames, with different colors. Suddenly, Muling Wei transformed her palm into fingers, one hand attached to her forearm, and the mysterious energy concentrated, like a surging clear spring, accompanied by the rumbling breath behind her back, rapidly merging into the cauldron.

  The Xuanhuo flames are driven by the Xuanqi, originally attached to the cauldron wall, now transformed into a dozen or so spherical shapes, surrounding the medicinal materials, colliding with each other in pairs. "Bang, bang...", the intermittent collision sounds rapidly accelerated, the flame's intensity quickly rising, and the essence also fusing along with it.

  "Heh heh." Chen Mo's mouth curled up, and his hands rubbed together in delight. Judging from the situation, it had already reached the final stage, and the elixir was about to be formed.

  A delicate push from Mulingwei's fingertips, a stream of cyan-colored mysterious energy shot out in a spiral shape. It directly surged into the flames of the hundred-year-old wooden marrow, stirring and rising, slowly merging with the essence of other spiritual medicines. The original pale blue round ** had now become golden and shining, its surface rippling like water, undulating and fluctuating.

  "Condense"

  Turn your fingers into a palm, jade arms expand in both directions, then suddenly retract inward, the air between the palms surges. The air cover symbol appears, a white light flashes, rises from the ground, gradually shrinks, and merges into the palm. Slightly touching the mysterious energy, it's like being electrified, rapidly impacting the cauldron wall. Inside the cauldron, the white symbol appears, pushing the inscriptions to compress the flames.

  A surge of "hot" energy, the breath lifted the lid, the water waves instantly solidified into a solid, and a pellet of easy-to-use dan with flashing golden light has appeared.

  Chen Mo gave a slight nod, and with a stifled breath, he let out: "Impressive, indeed not ordinary..."

  "Bang", a loud explosion, Chen Mo's words were left unspoken as he retreated two steps. Mulan Wei flipped over in mid-air twice, her feet scraping the ground before she stumbled backward and collided with the air mask, her delicate body shook, and she crouched on the ground.

  "Master." Chen Mo instinctively responded.

  In an instant, Chen Mo's heart was bleeding, and he saw the elixir about to take shape. He thought he could still refine one more, but unexpectedly, the elixir suddenly exploded in flames, turning into powder, and was instantly swallowed by the fiery blaze, leaving behind only a wisp of green smoke.

  Jian De's forehead was beaded with fragrant sweat, his face slightly pale, which made Chen Mo feel a slight pang in his heart. He advised: "Master, you're working too hard, why don't we stop for now and continue another day?"

  "Hū", Mù Líng Wēi slowly shook her head, her gentle eyes shining with determination.

  Three chances have been used up twice, and not to mention Chen Mo's heartache, but Mu Lingwei also felt embarrassed, but that delicate mind couldn't tolerate such a flaw.

  Although Chen Mo was eager to obtain the elixir, she did not forget to care for herself. At this time, how could she give up? She closed her eyes slightly, carefully pondered the reasons, made up for the deficiencies, and promoted perfection. Although two failures were regrettable, they also gave her a lot of experience.

  Lightly rising, the slender and delicate heavenly energy of the universe slowly entered through the mask into the palm, transforming into the inscription on the alchemical tripod.

  Fingertips lightly touched, the first flavor of medicine entered the cauldron. "Boom" The flames rose from the cauldron, directly submerging the spiritual medicine.

  Mulingwei was apparently more cautious, the extremely fast-spinning flames rotated along the cauldron wall, but the chapter method was more orderly. The flames were fierce, but they wrapped around the medicine like soothing a sleeping baby.

  "Master of the Hundred Filtered Strings"

  "Extending the scalp and pulling the fingers"

  Change the strategy, but the routine is clear, and it's easy to get familiar with. The crimson flames are under her control, bursting out in an instant, the edges of the flames turn white, and the wrapped spiritual medicine essence collides with a crackling sound.

  "Condense"

  At the critical moment, the essence of the medicine is about to condense into a pill. Chen Mo's mind is tense and he doesn't dare to relax at all. Just now, it was ruined in an instant at this critical moment. If he fails again, there won't even be a place for him to cry out loud.

  Only the golden light of the elixir flashed and rotated rapidly, impurities touched the flame and disappeared. Suddenly, the flame weakened, the surface of the elixir seemed to sweat like droplets, forming streams that dripped into the flame and turned into a wisp of blue smoke.

  "Not good." Chen was shocked and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

  Mulingwei was visibly exhausted, drenched in sweat. Condensing the dan requires a full ten percent of hou fire; if the alchemist's cultivation is insufficient or their grasp is off, how can they condense the dan?

  Chen Mo's mind was racing at top speed, the Bright Mystical Qi in his Dantian was like a thousand horses galloping, condensing instantly. At the same time, his divine thoughts stirred and transformed into invisible threads of power that seemed to exist yet not exist.
