Heavenly Dao Sword Emperor

0As the saying goes, if you gain something, you will lose it. If you lose something, you will gain something. After experiencing a life and death battle with the Devil Beast, the six brothers, including Feng Ziyan, who were originally in charge of the formation, became much more united.    

    

Take Feng Ziyan for example. Previously, she was jealous that Zheng Zinuo's cultivation base had surpassed hers. She was also liked by her father, so she kept a distance from him. But when she saw with her own eyes that Zheng Zinuo did not care about his life or death and fought with a middle tier three Devil Beast by himself, In the end, he had risked his life to kill his opponent. He had also suffered heavy injuries. Of course, Feng Ziyan knew all of this was because of her. If it wasn't for her, she knew that Zheng Zinuo could have escaped with his cultivation base. He could have ignored her, but Zheng Zinuo didn't do so. This made her very touched. She slowly recovered the love she had for Zheng Zinuo from three years ago.    

    

For three days in a row, Zheng Zinuo lay on the bed for the rest of the time. He only occasionally came out to get some fresh air. He was not a rash person. He knew that his injuries were very serious this time. If he did not take good care of himself, it would hinder his future cultivation.    

    

Therefore, he didn't rashly go to the Devil Beast Forest below the waterfall to cultivate. He just sat on the bed and cultivated the Ethereal Divine Sword Spell and Disdain Heaven Martial Saint Spell.    

    

What surprised him was that while he was cultivating... He suddenly found out that his Ethereal Divine Sword Spell had broken through the Light Opening Realm and entered the early stage of integration. Moreover, his soul power had also increased from level twenty-two to level twenty-three. This was completely out of his expectations. His body had suffered a severe injury, but his cultivation had actually advanced by leaps and bounds. This made him exclaim in disbelief. It made his gloomy mood improve a lot.    

    

Of course, all of this made Zheng Zinuo completely relieved after Sword Spirit's explanation. First of all, Zheng Zinuo's Ethereal Divine Sword Spell had gone through nearly three years of cultivation. The Genuine Qi that had been slowly improving had finally accumulated to a certain extent. The change in quantity had caused a qualitative change. When he used all his strength and pushed all the Genuine Qi in his body without caring about his own life and death, the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sword Technique burst out. It was as if his Ethereal Divine Sword Spell had been ignited by a flame, and it suddenly burst out. He took another step forward and broke through the shackles of the original Genuine Qi, breaking through to the realm of fusion.    

    

His soul power also increased with the enhancement of the Ethereal Divine Sword Spell. After all, soul power and the Genuine Qi shared the same root. Both came from the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although the two of them did not interfere with each other, The most important thing was that... That was Sword Spirit's absorption of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros beast soul.    

    

Originally, Sword Spirit could totally absorb the beast soul of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros for her own use, helping her improve her cultivation base. But at that time, Zheng Zinuo just happened to be seriously injured. Sword Spirit couldn't bear it. She could only convert a portion of the beast soul she absorbed into energy to nourish Zheng Zinuo's injured body. At that time, Zheng Zinuo's soul power and Genuine Qi were almost depleted. It was like a dried river meeting a rain falling from the sky. As the Genuine Qi had just broken through its original realm, And just as the soul power was about to break through... Thus, he borrowed the momentum of a fish leaping over the dragon gate and broke through to level 23 once again.    

    

In less than five days, Zheng Zinuo had once again created a miracle in the world of martial arts. Breaking through from level 22 to level 23, although it was only a rank 1 soul force. But to all martial cultivator, it was inconceivable because they had reached the level of a level 20 martial master and above. Those with exceptional talent would need at least three to four months, or even half a year, and most people would need at least half a year to increase their strength by one level. To increase one level in five days was too shocking. However, only Zheng Zinuo knew about all of this.    

    

Zheng Zinuo's recovery speed was surprisingly fast. On the fourth day, he was able to get off the bed and move freely. He decided that he couldn't waste any more time today. It had been three to four days since he last reported to Gong Cheng. He must be extremely anxious right now.    

    

So after breakfast, he said goodbye to the senior brothers and Feng Ziyan and headed towards the waterfall with Yin Yang, who had woken up a long time ago.    

    

Although everyone was still worried about Zheng Zinuo's injuries, they understood Zheng Zinuo's stubborn personality. After a few words of advice, they let him leave.    

    

Yin Yang, who had woken up from his deep sleep, now had a slightly bigger body. Furthermore, a weak energy fluctuation similar to the Genuine Qi in Zheng Zinuo's body was being emitted from time to time. This had never happened before. Zheng Zinuo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Could it be that Yin and Yang could be cultivated as well? However, he didn't think too much about it. He quickly brought it down the mountain.    

    

As his injuries hadn't fully healed yet, he didn't dare to go to the Devil Beast Forest to kill the Devil Beast. Therefore, he continued to cultivate the Ethereal Divine Sword Spell and Disdain Heaven Martial Saint Spell by the waterfall, while Yin and Yang were still sleeping in its large sleep.    

    

After breaking through to the realm of fusion, Zheng Zinuo's bodily functions had become much stronger. Although the other four meridians of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians had not been opened because of this breakthrough, they had more or less become wider and stronger. Sword Spirit also agreed to teach Zheng Zinuo the second sword technique of the Ethereal Divine Sword Spell after he recovered from his injuries. This made Zheng Zinuo look forward to it. He would cultivate and recover from his injuries whenever he had nothing to do.    

    

About two hours later, a weak sound of footsteps could be heard from the foot of the mountain. Zheng Zinuo suddenly opened his eyes from his cultivation and saw a white figure appear in front of him. That exquisite and tall figure, that flawless white skin... Combined with her exquisite and beautiful face, she looked like a fairy from the nine heavens above. Even Zheng Zinuo, an ignorant eleven year old child, couldn't help but stare blankly at her.    

    

"Hey! Why is Junior Brother Zheng in a daze?" The person who came was the genius girl of Water Ridge Peak, Qianxun. Two years later, the fifteen year old Qianxun became even more beautiful and moving. Clear water produced hibiscus, so it was not an exaggeration to describe her as naturally carved.    

    

"Uh... It's you, Senior Sister Qianxun? I haven't seen you for more than two years and you have become even more beautiful. I almost thought that you are a fairy from the heavens, hehe..." Zheng Zinuo got up and said.    

    

"Eh? How did you become so glib-tongued after not seeing you for two years?" Qianxun's face turned slightly red when she heard this. She smiled and asked, "Have you been practicing body transformation here for the past two years?"    

    

"Yes senior sister, how about you? Why haven't I seen you for the past two years?" Zheng Zinuo asked with a smile.    

    

"Humph! It was all because of that Qu Junlin. Ever since the Martial Dao Competition of the four major sects, I was defeated by Qu Junlin, so I went into secluded cultivation for half a year. After that, I went out of secluded cultivation and practiced hard, and only recently did I relax a little. In five years' time, I will definitely show my skills in the Martial Dao Competition of the Hidden Spirit Sect. I absolutely can't lose again. " Qianxun said angrily.    

    

"Sigh... Senior Sister Qianxun is still so persistent and strong." Zheng Zinuo thought to himself and asked, "Senior Sister Qianxun, your cultivation must have improved a lot in the past two years. I remember that you were a level twenty martial master two years ago. What about now? Have you reached level 30? "    

    

" Ah? What nonsense are you saying? In just two short years, who can advance ten soul force points? After entering the realm of a level twenty martial master, it would be very difficult to increase one's soul force by one level. Do you think that it's the same as you? It's only soul power below ten levels." Qianxun said with a bitter face, "But even without the tenth level, I have already advanced to the fifth level. I am now a level twenty-five Martial Master Cultivation. I wonder what level your genius brother is at now."    

    

"I don't know either." Zheng Zinuo shook his head. When he suddenly heard Qianxun mention Zheng Zizhou, he felt a sense of loneliness in his heart. He suddenly felt nostalgic.    

    

"I didn't expect that kid with the same cultivation base as me would defeat that monster Qu Junlin in the end. What was even more unbelievable was that that monster actually lost to you in sword arts, a silly kid who didn't use soul power." Qianxun clearly did not notice Zheng Zinuo's expression and continued to ramble on and on. " I really don't know how you did it. This question has been bothering me for many years."    

    

After saying that, he looked at Zheng Zinuo without any reaction, as if he was thinking about something. She frowned and suddenly felt that something was wrong. She cried out in shock, "Eh? Junior Brother Zheng, your soul power has been unsealed? Why do I feel a very powerful soul force fluctuation coming from your body? What level are you now?"    

    

" Er... I just reached level 23. I'm still far from you, senior sister. " Zheng Zinuo knew that he could not hide it from Qianxun. The more he hid it, the more furious he became with her. At that time, she might even use the Soul Exploring Eye, but the result would still be the same. Therefore, Zheng Zinuo honestly told her his cultivation.    

    

"What?! What level is it?!" Qianxun was shocked and took a step back unnaturally. She covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Zheng Zinuo in disbelief, as if she did not know him.    

    

"Second... Twenty-third level. What's wrong, senior sister?" Zheng Zinuo was shocked by Qianxun's loss of self-control.    

    

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Junior brother, don't joke with me. How old are you? You have already reached level 23. Level 13 is more like it, right? " Qianxun said in disbelief, but she also knew that she was lying to herself. Judging from the opponent's Soul Energy fluctuations, even without using the Soul Exploring Eye, one could still tell that the opponent was at least at Level-20 or above.    

    

"Haha... Senior sister, if you say level 13, then so be it. Don't be so serious." Zheng Zinuo smiled and deliberately changed the topic, "By the way, senior sister, did you find me today for something?"    

    

" Don't interrupt. Release the martial soul and let me see! " Qianxun directly ordered.    

    

"Don't want it anymore, Senior Sister." Zheng Zinuo smiled bitterly.    

    

"Are you going to let it go or not? If not, I will use the Soul Exploring Eye! Now that my Soul Exploring Eye has entered the microscopic realm, I can see through the level of the opponent's martial soul and cultivation base." Qianxun threatened.    

    

"Alright, alright, alright. I'll release it, I'll release it." Zheng Zinuo compromised, "But senior sister has to promise me one thing before I let it go."    

    

"Alright, what is it? Quickly tell me." Qianxun asked anxiously.    

    

"After Senior Sister sees my martial soul, you are not allowed to tell anyone about my martial soul's talent. If you agree, then let me go. If not, then... Use the Soul Exploring Eye. " Zheng Zinuo said firmly. He was thinking in his heart, 'If you don't agree, then use my soul power to change the color of the martial soul.' Although my cultivation base can't be changed, I will not let you know about my martial soul's innate talent.    

    

"What's so difficult about that? Senior sister, I'll agree to it." Qianxun patted her chest and said.    

    

"Okay, you said it yourself. This is a secret between us. I hope you can keep your promise." Zheng Zinuo said in a serious manner.    

    

"Luo Li is long-winded. Could it be that you are still a purple martial soul? Hurry up and let it out. I promise not to tell anyone, and I won't tell anyone." Qianxun promised again.    

    

"Alright, I believe you. Don't be too surprised after watching it." Zheng Zinuo nodded and took two steps back. He urged his soul power to release the martial soul in his body.    

    

A black martial soul emitting a faint golden light slowly appeared. Zheng Zinuo raised his head and looked at Qianxun, whose expression gradually changed. He also felt somewhat proud in his heart, even though Feng Qingyun repeatedly stressed that he must not show off in front of others. But to him, Qianxun could be considered as one of the senior brothers and sisters of Xun Wind Peak. She was his best friend, so he trusted her more.    

    

"Black... Black... martial soul, the legendary super martial soul, how is that possible?" Qianxun rubbed her eyes three times in a row. That action was so cute in Zheng Zinuo's eyes.    

    

"Senior sister, watch carefully. I can put it away now, right?" Zheng Zinuo waited for a long time before saying.    

    

"Oh, okay!" Qianxun was slightly startled when she heard this and recovered from her shock. She subconsciously nodded her head and suddenly shouted, "Wait, black super martial soul, level 23 Martial Master Cultivation. Only two levels lower than me. No, how could I let go of such a good opponent? Come on! Let senior sister test your combat ability? Let's see if you, the expert who defeated Qu Junlin, can defeat me as well!"    

    

" Ah? Don't do it, senior sister!" Zheng Zinuo quickly waved his hand and took a few steps back in fear. He said, "I just got hurt. I can't do any strenuous exercise."    

    

"You are hurt. Humph! You want to lie to me? Take this! " Qianxun did not give up. Without any mercy, she directly urged her soul force to summon the blue martial soul and attacked Zheng Zinuo.    

    

"Ah? I can't afford to offend him. I can't even hide from him!" Zheng Zinuo immediately calmed down after seeing this. He used the movement technique of the yellow warrior, the Traceless Snowsteps, and ran around the empty land on the shore.    

    

"Traceless Snow Treading Steps!" Qianxun was shocked once again and shouted, "What a good kid! You actually learned such profound steps. See if I don't defeat you today, then I won't be called Qianxun!" After saying that, she also used the Traceless Snowsteps and chased after him.    

    

"Sou..."    

    

"Swoosh..."    

    

The two of them chased each other. The black and blue figures were so fast that it was difficult to distinguish their real bodies.    

    

"Look at my Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon Hand!" After all, Qianxun's cultivation base was two levels higher than Zheng Zinuo's. Not long after, Qianxun caught up to him before he could fully unleash his soul power. Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon slightly slowed Zheng Zinuo's body. Then he used the Yellow Martial Arts Technique - Cold Ice Palm. She attacked Zheng Zinuo from the side.    

    

"Don't do it, senior sister!" In a moment of desperation, Zheng Zinuo could only use the same level of Tiger Roar Palm to resist Qianxun.    

    

"Boom..." The two palms hit each other, creating an explosive sound. Zheng Zinuo took five steps back and fell to the ground. He reached out his hand to cover his left chest. His face was pale and he grimaced in pain.    

    

"Ah? Junior Brother Zheng, you are really injured!" Qianxun was shocked and quickly stopped attacking. She came to Zheng Zinuo's side and took off her clothes to take a look. There was indeed a round scar on the left side of his chest. Due to the intense collision just now, The wound bled again.    

    

"Cough cough... Would I lie to you?" Zheng Zinuo reluctantly endured the pain in his body and replied with a bitter smile.    

    

"Yes... I'm sorry junior brother, are you alright?" Qianxun said guiltily. She then took out a small white porcelain bottle from her bosom. She poured out a white Marching Pill and said, "This Marching Pill is a gift from Master. It is the only defensive Marching Pill Master gave me. It is even a high-grade one."    

    

"Thank you, Senior Sister. There's no need. I have a pill here." Zheng Zinuo looked at Qianxun, who looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, and smiled in his heart.    

    

"Take it. If you want it, take it. Could it be that senior sister was reluctant to part with this Marching Pill? At worst, you can just ask my master for it again." Qianxun forcefully stuffed it into Zheng Zinuo's hands and suddenly discovered that his left hand also had a scar on it. She asked in surprise, "Huh? Your hand is also injured. Junior brother, what exactly are you doing? It seems like your injury isn't light. "    

    

"It's nothing." Zheng Zinuo rested for a while and applied the Marching Pill on Qianxun's wound. Immediately, he felt much better. He said, "A few days ago, Senior Brother and I were bored, so we went to Devil Beast Forest to hunt a few Devil Beast to play with. But who would have thought that just as we arrived there, we would encounter two tier 6 Devil Beast, Purple Flame Lion King..." Zheng Zinuo simply told Qianxun about what had happened. Of course, he said that he fought the Golden Horned Rhinoceros alone and fought the Golden Horned Rhinoceros together with Feng Ziyan. It was always not good to show off his abilities. He had to leave some room for retreat. This was what Feng Qingyun often taught him.    

    

"Oh, so that's how it is." Qianxun nodded when she heard him. She could not help but admire this eleven year old child in front of her. The two of them chatted for a while longer and realized that it was almost noon. Qianxun got up and said, "Junior brother, since you are injured, then don't do any training. Rest more before your injuries recover quickly. It is almost time. I have to go back. Five days. I will give you five days to rest. I will come back to you in five days. I will beat you until you beg for mercy. That Marching Pill of mine wasn't given for free, hehe..." Qianxun raised a hand and playfully waved it as she said.    

    

"Ah? Senior sister... Senior sister..." When Zheng Zinuo heard this, he was speechless and broke out in cold sweat. He wanted to say something more but Qianxun had already run away and could only look at her beautiful back with a bitter smile.    

    

After a short while, Zheng Zinuo felt that his injuries were not that painful. He recovered his feelings and nervously walked towards the hidden cave at the foot of the mountain with Yin and Yang.    

    

"Hmm? Why did you only come here after four days? Did something happen?" As soon as he entered the cave, Gong Cheng asked unhappily.    

    

"Big brother, four days ago, my master and the others left Xun Wind Peak. So, senior brother and the others brought me to Devil Beast Forest to hunt Devil Beast..." Zheng Zinuo did not tell Qianxun the same thing, and only gave a simple narration. This time, he gave a very detailed account of what happened, especially the entire process of his battle with the Golden Horned Rhinoceros. Apart from the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sword Technique, he told Gong Cheng everything else. Gong Cheng frowned when he heard this.    

    

"Kid, you really are a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. You are just a little over level twenty, yet you dare to challenge a middle level three Devil Beast." Gong Cheng didn't know whether he was praising or blaming Gong Cheng, but he said, "If it wasn't for that Golden Horned Rhinoceros suffering a heavy blow from Qing Qi, you probably wouldn't have been able to see me."    

    

"En, I will act according to my abilities next time, big brother." Zheng Zinuo lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Facing Gong Cheng, it seemed like he was more depressed than facing Feng Qingyun.    

    

"En, although it is a bit dangerous to challenge someone who is a higher level than me, there are still many benefits. After this battle, you will definitely learn a lot of things. However, remember not to fight with opponents who are much stronger than you unless you have no other choice. You can consider yourself lucky this time, but you might not be able to do it again next time." Gong Cheng lectured and continued," Your injuries are quite serious this time. I estimate that you won't be able to continue fighting and cultivating in less than ten days or half a month. Did you bring the two scriptures that I gave you? "    

    

"Yes, big brother." Zheng Zinuo nodded. He took out the Scripture of Dan and Scripture of Instrument from his storage pouch and handed them over.    

    

"Alright, from today onwards, you will be the same as usual. Come to me at noon. I will formally teach you how to concoct pills and forge weapons. Although your current cultivation base is still insufficient to refine pill and equipment, you can still learn. When your cultivation level reaches a certain level, you can refine them by yourself. We, cultivators, are indispensable for concocting medicine and equipment. A good pill can not only protect one's life, but it can also increase one's strength for many years. And the equipment is even more so. If you can refine a set of super powerful equipment and weapons... Then your defense and attack power will be increased rapidly, which will save you a lot of effort and energy compared to opponents without equipment and weapons." Gong Cheng explained.    

    

"From today onwards, I will teach you how to identify the raw materials of the pill. Only after you recognize these will you know how the pill was refined."    

    

Seeing Zheng Zinuo nod his head, he continued, "Let's start from the most basic, and take the most common Marching Pill as an example. First, tell me what the raw materials for refining the Marching Pill are."    

    

"The Marching Pill is refined from the Blood Stop Grass, Meridian Scattering Powder, and Ginseng with clear water." Zheng Zinuo had been studying alchemy scriptures and weapon scriptures for the past few days since he had nothing to do. To him, who had a very strong memory, the ___ was refined from three types of herbs: Blood Stop Grass, Meridian Scattering Powder, and Ginseng. He could remember most of the raw materials of the pill in his heart.    

    

"Hmm, not bad. Do you know the hemostatic grass, the meridian powder, and the ginseng?" Gong Cheng asked.    

    

"I often see hemostatic grass, but I only saw some simple pictures in the Dan Sutra. I don't know anything about them." Zheng Zinuo replied.    

    

"Well, well, take a look at these." Gong Cheng nodded and waved his hand. A green grass, five fingernail-sized black fruits, and a completely apricot yellow ginseng appeared in front of Zheng Zinuo. He continued, "This green grass is the hemostatic grass. It is very easy to pick on this island. This black fruit is a fruit that is produced by the Meridian Flower. After crushing the fruit into powder and drying it, it can be turned into meridian disintegration, which has the effect of reinvigorating the meridian channels. This apricot yellow ginseng was the Prime Yang Ginseng, and there were many types of ginseng. From low to high, it was roughly divided into General Ginseng, Prime Yang Ginseng, Blood Ginseng, and so on and so forth. Now you know all three of these things, right? "    

    

" Yes, I do. " Zheng Zinuo touched each of the three items and nodded.    

    

"Alright, now I'll teach you how to refine Marching Pill." Gong Cheng said. Then, as if he was performing a magic trick, he took out the ___ from his belt. He took out a four-legged alchemy furnace that was half the height of a person. It was completely sealed. On the lid of the furnace, there were some tiny holes made of ice silver. This should be the effect of cooling the heat to prevent the high temperature from causing the furnace to explode. In the middle of the furnace that was bulging downwards, there was also a transparent mirror made of ice essence. From here, one could clearly see the situation inside when refining pills. It also had a good heat insulation effect.    

    

"Pill furnace!" Zheng Zinuo was shocked and quickly walked over to the pill furnace that was about the same height as him and carefully observed it from left to right. Looking at this gorgeous alchemy furnace, Zheng Zinuo's essence, energy, and spirit were all focused on this alchemy furnace.    

    

"That's right. This is the alchemy furnace. It was made when I was bored." Gong Cheng said, "The alchemy furnace is an essential ingredient for alchemy, just like the raw materials of the pill. A good alchemy furnace can be used to make even better pill. This alchemy furnace was carefully crafted by me. I don't dare say it's the best, but it can be considered top grade in the alchemy furnace."    

    

"That's right. This alchemy furnace can be seen from its appearance. Even an outsider like me can see that it's exquisite and extraordinary. It's definitely not ordinary." Zheng Zinuo praised.    

    

"Hahaha... Little Mao also knows how to say this." Gong Cheng smiled and said, "Refining pills and refining weapons are both extremely time-consuming and energy consuming. It is one of the best exercises to cultivate one's heart. Take refining this relatively ordinary Marching Pill as an example. It would take at least three to five days for a Marching Pill to be produced, from the time it was refined to the time it was refined to the moment it came out of the furnace. If one's cultivation base is low and the quality of the alchemy furnace is poor, it would take at most six to six hundred and thirty-six days."    

    

"This... Such a long time. No wonder everyone is so precious to Marching Pill." Zheng Zinuo said in shock.    

    

"Of course, it is to use my current cultivation to refine the Marching Pill. It'll take at least three days to complete." Gong Cheng continued, "But the ordinary Marching Pill in the outside world doesn't have ginseng as its ingredients. Refining it is much easier, but the effects are also much different. The Marching Pill is also divided into many levels. Usually, it does not need ginseng to be combined to refine it. It could only be used as an ordinary healing pill. Refining it was also much simpler. When ginseng was added, according to the quality of the ginseng, it was further divided into intermediate and advanced levels. Of course, the effects will also be different. "    

    

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Zheng Zinuo nodded, looking forward to it.    

    

"Alright, there's not much time left. Let's start. I'll explain it to you while refining." Gong Cheng calmed his mind and immediately became serious.    

    

He waved his hand and his right hand lightly slapped the fist-sized hole that popped out. The martial soul appeared behind him without any warning. It was a purple martial soul that was much taller than the cave. As Gong Cheng's martial soul appeared, the entire space began to surge with a tremendous amount of soul power. Zheng Zinuo couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine.    

    

"Watch carefully, the first step of pill concoction begins now - heating the furnace." Gong Cheng explained as he circulated his soul power. A red flame slowly emerged from his palm. It followed the fist-sized vent and quickly entered the alchemy furnace.    

    

At this moment, Zheng Zinuo came to his senses. Through the glass like thing beside him, he looked inside and saw that the inside of the furnace was red, accompanied by crackling sounds.    

    

"The first step to heating the furnace is basically nothing special. As long as you use your soul power to perform a fire attribute cultivation technique... Then, he inserted it into the furnace. After passing through the special passage of the furnace, it turned into flames. Just let the furnace heat up. " Gong Cheng said," Although this step is not very particular, it is still an indispensable step. Because the furnace is usually made of metal, the cold air in the furnace is heavier. If the furnace is not warmed up beforehand and all the ingredients are put into the furnace, it will definitely affect the effectiveness of the pill."    

    

"En!" Zheng Zinuo nodded his head vigorously. As he listened to Gong Cheng's explanation, he kept staring at the changes inside the furnace.    

    

After a while, the furnace turned from cold to warm. Finally, it began to heat up. Even Zheng Zinuo, who was a foot away from him, felt a little hot.    

    

"It's done. The fact that the heat can be released proves that the heat of the furnace is almost ready." Gong Cheng continued, "The furnace mouth of my furnace is made from a special ice soul essence, so it won't emit too much heat. Therefore, you don't have to worry about getting burned when you transfer your soul power. "    

    

He continued, "Now, the most crucial step is to concoct pills. This pill refinement was very particular. First, it was the sequence of the ingredients used to refine the pill. Take this Marching Pill for example. The hardest to refine is the Prime Yang Ginseng. Therefore, the Prime Yang Ginseng must be placed inside first. " After saying that, Gong Cheng stretched out his hand and placed the Prime Yang Ginseng into a slightly larger hole on the top.    

    

This hole was slightly different from the hole Gong Cheng had inserted soul power into. It did not protrude. Furthermore, there was a small valve inside that automatically closed. After the ginseng was placed in, it would automatically close. ... The valve inside would automatically close to prevent the flames from going out. It would affect the temperature inside the furnace.    

    

After the ginseng was thrown in, there was a "Ci..." sound. Gong Cheng's left hand gently hit another hole that also popped out. A wave of soul power was injected into the hole. The ginseng that was originally at the bottom of the furnace slowly floated above the flame. It was as if there was an invisible energy wrapping around it.    

    

At this time, Gong Cheng's voice sounded again, "You see, most alchemy furnaces have three holes. Two of them are made from the Ice Soul Essence. It is used for the alchemist to inject soul power. The one on the left is specifically for supplying soul power to wrap up the materials, otherwise, if the materials were placed directly in the fire, they would be barbecued. Then wouldn't the ingredients be burnt down? They could only use soul power to isolate the ingredients. The one on the right was to inputted a fire-type soul power cultivation method to transform it into a flame, while the one on the right was to inputted a fire-type soul power cultivation method to transform it into a flame. The one on the top is the channel to store the materials, do you understand? "    

    

" So that's the case, I understand now " Zheng Zinuo nodded, but he suddenly realized a problem. He asked, "But humans only have two hands and one hand controls the flames. The other hand sends out soul power to wrap the materials. Then what should we use to store the remaining materials?"    

    

"Not bad, indeed a child worth teaching." Gong Cheng praised, "Now is the time to truly test your cultivation. Not everyone can be an alchemist. A good alchemist not only needed to know a few different levels of Fire Elemental Martial Cultivation Method. Furthermore, your cultivation must be at least at the level of a level 30 general or above, and your mental strength must also be at a certain level. If the Soul Exploring Eye had not reached the second level of Minute Subtlety, his mental energy would not be able to meet the requirements. This was because besides focusing his mental energy, concocting pills also required multitasking. He had to control the flames, the ingredients, and the remaining ingredients. He also had to divide his attention and put them into the furnace. As for the remaining materials, there were many ways to put them into the furnace. The first method was to reach a certain level of the Crane and Dragon Capturing Technique. You could move objects through the air without using your hands to control them. The second method was that your spiritual energy was so powerful that you could use your spiritual energy to directly control the movement of objects. Next, I'll use these two methods to show you. Take a look. "    

    

" Un! " Zheng Zinuo nodded cautiously. He felt that the temperature of the furnace was getting hotter and hotter. He had to stay away from the furnace in order to withstand the heat. At this moment, the originally apricot-yellow Sun Ginseng was in the furnace. Under the white transparent soul power, it gradually melted and disappeared, and a crystal clear and viscous liquid flowed out.    

0

    

"Due to the lack of time, I had no choice but to practice refining this Marching Pill in advance. In fact, refining the Marching Pill required the Head Yang Ginseng's ginseng juice to be completely revealed. Only after refining a milk-like milky white liquid can I place the Blood Stop Grass in it. However, it is too late now. It is almost noon, and the devil soul in my body is about to flare up. I must perform mental control in advance, and now I will simply complete the rest of the steps. Just remember it well." As Gong Cheng spoke, he used the Crane Capturing Dragon Technique to transfer the three strains of bleeding control grass that were originally placed beside him into the furnace. He once again used the soul power in his left hand to wrap them up and refine them.    

    

Slowly, following the refinement of the flame, the three strains of Bleeding Control Grass were refined into transparent grass juice and fused into the gradually turning milky white ginseng juice. At this time, Gong Cheng used his eyes once again. With just his eyes, an invisible and colorless spiritual fluctuation was emitted. He placed the packet of meridians that he had prepared earlier into the alchemy furnace and gradually merged them into the two types of liquids to slowly refine.    

    

"Alright, this is about the entire process. If the flames are too strong during the refinement... There was not enough juice in the pill. At this time, he could add some clear water. However, this will only be used when the last step is out of the furnace. You can go back now. Come back tomorrow and see. " Gong Cheng said anxiously.    

    

"Oh, okay." Zheng Zinuo nodded and asked worriedly, "Then big brother, you can refine pill while controlling the inner demon, right?"    

    

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and leave!" Gong Cheng did not answer Zheng Zinuo's question, and shouted coldly.    

    

"Alright! Big brother, take care!" Zheng Zinuo nodded. He did not get angry because of Gong Cheng's scolding. He quickly left the cave with Yin and Yang.    

    

As soon as he left the entrance of the cave, he heard screams coming from inside. He looked around and thought that it was lucky that this place was hidden enough and Gong Cheng had set up the Hidden barrier. Otherwise, he would have been discovered long ago.    

    

Zheng Zinuo left the cave with the intention of praying and returned to the waterfall. He closed his eyes and recalled the whole process of Gong Cheng concocting the pill in detail.    

    

Half a day later, Zheng Zinuo opened his eyes and said to himself, "If I have the chance, I will find a furnace to test my skills. It seems that concocting the pill is not bad."    

    

At this moment, Sword Spirit's voice sounded in his mind, "Big brother's low level pill refinement, are you interested in it? Thinking back to the time when Master Xuanqing really concocted pills, the pill he refined... The lowest level was also a low level immortal pill. If an ordinary person ate one, they would be able to be reborn. Immortality! ... What kind of pill is this? It can't even be called a spiritual pill!"    

    

"What?! spiritual pill? Immortal Pill? Don't tell me there are different grades of pill?!" Zheng Zinuo asked curiously.    

    

" That's of course. This kind of pill that you ordinary people refine can only be called ordinary pill. Big Brother, the pill that you refined in your past life is the true spiritual pill miracle medicine." Sword Spirit said with a cocky tone, "The pill is generally divided into three grades, spiritual pill, Immortal Pill, and Divine Pill. However, the pill that you used the alchemy furnace to refine should not be within the scope of these three types of pill. It should be a human pill. "    

    

"Are you joking? The pill that you used so much effort to refine... Even the lowest grade of spiritual pill in your mouth is not a spiritual pill. It can only be considered a pill. I won't believe it even if you beat me to death! According to you, how are you going to refine the spiritual pill, Immortal Pill, and Divine Pill?! I'm going to refine someone to death!" Zheng Zinuo said in shock.    

    

"That's not it. I see that when Master refines pill, it seems to be very simple. As long as the various ingredients of the pill were swallowed into his stomach, he would place them in his dantian's Zifu. After that, he utilized the Yin-Yang Purification Flame within his Violet Palace to refine the ___, and everything seemed to be calm and composed. How could it be as difficult as the one your big brother, Gong Cheng, refined just now?" Sword Spirit spoke in a casual manner.    

    

"Ling, you are not bragging, right? Swallowing the ingredients into your stomach and using the fire in your body to refine the pill in your Dantian? This is simply a myth." Zheng Zinuo said in disbelief.    

    

"Humph! Ling has never lied to big brother. Ling is angry." Sword Spirit said angrily.    

    

" Haha... " Zheng Zinuo smiled bitterly and said, "Good Ling, good Ling. Big brother did not mean it. But you have to tell me why and let me believe it. Otherwise, if you say it out of thin air like this, even if Big Brother believes you, No one else will believe me. "    

    

"Alright, then Big Brother, just you wait. Give me a month's time. Let me recall. I remember that when Master refined the pill and the refining equipment, he had a very profound and profound formula to complement it. I have some impression of it. Wait until I organise this formula. Let's see if Big Brother will still laugh at me. During this period of time, don't disturb Ling. You can rest for a few days on the second set of the Divine Sword Technique. Hmph!" Sword Spirit was still somewhat angry.    

    

" Uh... Can we teach you the sword technique first before arranging the technique?" Zheng Zinuo begged.    

    

"No, see you, brother!" Sword Spirit gave Zheng Zinuo the cold shoulder and went into deep meditation.    

    

After the last absorption of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros's beast soul, Zheng Zinuo could clearly feel that Sword Spirit's spiritual body had become much stronger. Otherwise, it wouldn't have any memory of things other than the Divine Sword Technique. When Zheng Zinuo thought of this, If I let Sword Spirit absorb more powerful Devil Beast beast souls in the future, would it remember many profound cultivation techniques in my past life? Then I will be able to learn a lot of things."    

    

After a short rest, Zheng Zinuo didn't stay here for too long. After all, his injuries hadn't fully recovered, so it wasn't suitable for him to cultivate outside. Therefore, he packed up and returned to Xun Wind Peak. He looked at the Dan Scripture and started to recuperate.
