Chapter Seventy-Three: Floating Like an Immortal

  Zhao Zhuo took out the alchemy furnace and tripod, and with a wave of his hand, a spiritual formula was released. Suddenly, the furnace and tripod rose into the air, their mouths facing downwards, emitting a suction force that drew in a multitude of spiritual herbs, including stalks of heavenly spirit grass and earth yuan fruits, which flew into the furnace amidst other spiritual medicines.

  After waiting for the furnace to collect enough spiritual medicine to refine a furnace of Spiritual Dan, Zhao Zhuo once again struck out with his spiritual incantation. As the dan fire entered the furnace, Zhao Zhuo began to strike out with his spiritual incantations one by one into the furnace. The surrounding heavenly and earthly yuanqi seemed to be attracted by the furnace and gathered continuously into the furnace.

  Zhao Duo sat cross-legged and occasionally struck out with his spiritual key, carefully controlling the furnace.

  Refining elixirs is an extremely mentally taxing task, yet Zhao Zhuo uses it to temper his yuan Shen, which is something many cultivators wouldn't have thought of.

  Zhuangyuan Dan, each successful furnace can produce 36 Lingdan, each of which can instantly replenish ten years of cultivation, much faster than absorbing the heaven and earth's yuanqi. It is a kind of spiritual elixir often prepared by those in the Law Body Period or the Divine Transformation Period.

  Because of the abundance of heaven and earth's primordial energy, the Zhuangyuan Dan, which normally requires three days to refine, can be completed in just one day within the Jiuhua Secret Realm.

  Looking at the faintly glowing blue light in front of the furnace, Zhao Zhuo's heart was secretly excited. The first batch of Ling Dan, he didn't know if it would be successful or not.

  The opening of the furnace is imminent, and the white porcelain beside it has also stopped its cultivation, standing by with a pair of bright eyes focused on the furnace.

  Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhuo struck out with a spiritual seal in his hand. The seal didn't enter the furnace, but instead saw the furnace rapidly rotating, actually forcibly drawing in the surrounding heavenly and earthly primal energy into the furnace.

  Upon seeing this scene, Bai Jing and Zhao Zhuo were not surprised at all. They knew that this was the final and most crucial step in condensing the Ling Dan.

  Zhao Duo carefully controlled the speed of the furnace absorbing the heavenly and earthly yuanqi with his spiritual formula, it couldn't be too fast or too slow, otherwise a single furnace of spiritual formula would absolutely become scrap in an instant.

  Suddenly, Zhao Zhuo furrowed his brow, and a black gas shot out from the furnace, seeing this situation, Zhao Zhuo sighed, this furnace of spiritual elixir was completely failed.

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo's failure in refining the elixir, Bai Jingyi's face showed a hint of regret. However, she walked forward and said: "Zhao Zhuo, don't worry, you're already very impressive for being able to refine it to this extent on your first try. Perhaps with more practice, you'll be able to succeed."

  Knowing that Bai Jing was comforting himself, Zhao Zhuo chuckled and said: "I'm fine, it's just a pity about this furnace of elixirs. If they had succeeded, that would have been 36 robust yuan dan. Many Fa Xiang Qi and Shen Tong Qi cultivators only have a few on their bodies."

  Bai Jingjian smiled and said: "You focus on refining the elixir, when the time comes it's not that you want as much as you can get, maybe I'll need the spiritual elixir you provide"

  Zhao Duo smiled and said: "Alright, don't worry, I'll take care of your spiritual elixirs from now on. Even if it's for a lifetime, there won't be any problem."

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo taking advantage of her, Bai Jing's face turned red and she hummed softly: "Hmph, you can refine the elixir slowly by yourself, I'll go cultivate"

  Watching Bai Jing leave in a hurry, Zhao Zhuo's gaze reluctantly withdrew from that plump and raised buttocks, looking at the furnace in front of him, Zhao Zhuo once again began to refine the elixir.

  Nor did he know what was going on, but several furnaces of elixir had failed at the last moment, which made Zhao Zhuo, who was full of confidence, suffer a lot.

  On the side, Bai Jingjing was worried, fearing that Zhao Zhuo could not withstand such a blow. However, it is clear that Bai Jingjing's worries were unnecessary, as Zhao Zhuo was not someone who couldn't take a hit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to go from being an orphan to becoming a graduate student in astronomy, which requires immense perseverance.

  Several failures did not make Zhao Zhuo anxious to restart the furnace and refine the elixir again, but instead accompanied Bai Jingjing in a walk around, waiting until his mood was completely calm before restarting the furnace and refining the elixir.

  One day passed, Zhao Zhuo calmly watched the furnace absorb the surrounding heaven and earth's primordial energy, while Bai Jing stood beside him, looking even more tense than Zhao Zhuo.

  Finally, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the cauldron, and the rapidly spinning cauldron slowly fell to the ground.

  Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhuo's mouth slowly revealed a hint of a smile, while Bai Jingjing excitedly said: "Success, Zhao Zhuo, you finally refined the spiritual elixir"

  With a wave of his hand, thirty-six dragon eye-sized, crystal-like and round Zhuangyuan Dan flew in front of Zhao Suo. With a gentle push, more than half of the Zhuangyuan Dan fell into Bai Jing's hands. Zhao Suo took one and swallowed it, instantly a pure and warm yuanqi flowed into his dantian, replenishing the depleted yuanqi in his dantian, causing his magical powers to surge greatly.

  Having felt the medicinal effect of Zhuangyuan Dan, Zhao Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and it was finally successful in refining Zhuangyuan Dan.

  In the following days, Zhao Zhuo seemed carefree and serene, like a transcendent alchemist, focusing on refining the elixir with a clear mind and calm state, thus the success rate of the Zhuan Yuan Dan suddenly increased.

  When Zhao Zhuang had exhausted the small mountain of spiritual medicine, Bai Jing helped Zhao Zhuang count it up. Astonishingly, they had opened the furnace a total of 43 times, among which 28 furnaces successfully refined the Zhuangyuan Dan. Such a high success rate was not much different from some sects' carefully nurtured alchemists.

  Almost a thousand pills of Zhuangyuan Dan were placed in front of the two, looking so shocking that even Zhao Suo couldn't believe it. He looked at the dozens of bottles of Zhuangyuan Dan and took a deep breath, saying: "I didn't expect to be able to refine so many spiritual pills."

  "Good heavens, what a freak! Refining elixirs is one thing, but the speed at which you're condensing your primordial spirit is simply too fast. It's only been this short period of time and you're already on the verge of breaking through to the high stage of the Solid God phase. What are those people who have lingered in the Solid God phase for tens or hundreds of years supposed to do?"

  "It can't be helped, who let me have such a great talent? Being too excellent isn't good either."

  Bai Jing's eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement as he handed Zhao Huo a portion of the Wu Yuan Dan, saying: "Once you start refining the Seven-Colored Luminous Pill, if successful, it won't take long for you to reach the Fa Xiang period. I really want to see what kind of miracle you can create at that time."

  Zhao Duo smiled and took out the various spiritual medicines needed to refine the Seven-Colored Luminous Jade Pill, with the most important one being the Luminous Lotus Seed.

  Because the Seven-Colored Luminous Pill can only refine three pills per furnace, and each pill requires a Luminous Lotus Seed, Zhao Zhuo concentrated his mind and began to refine the pill after throwing the spiritual medicine into the furnace.

  Although the treasure tower can continuously obtain Luli lotus, Zhao Zhuo also doesn't want to fail in alchemy again and again, so he tries his best to maintain the state of mind without desire or pursuit when refining Zhuangyuan Dan before.

  Under that state of mind, Zhao Zhuo could perfectly cast various control techniques, which was also the reason why Zhao Zhuo's success rate in refining the Zhuang Yuan Dan was so high later on.

  The first furnace of the Seven-Colored Glazed Dan ended in an unexpected yet anticipated failure, but Zhao Zhuang didn't take it to heart. After all, the Seven-Colored Glazed Dan was a high-grade spiritual dan; if it were as easy to refine successfully as the Zhuangyuan Dan, Zhao Zhuang would have suspected that he had become possessed by the spirit of a dan-refining master.

  In the following days, Zhao Zhuo continued to refine the elixir and after two failures, he finally succeeded in refining a furnace of seven-colored glaze elixir on his third attempt.

  When Zhao Zhuo looked at the seven-colored light emanating from his hand like a crystal, he finally understood why the Seven-Colored Crystal Dan was called the Seven-Colored Crystal Dan. With this elixir's appearance, probably no other name would be more suitable.

  The fragrance emanating from the top of the elixir is so refreshing that it makes one's heart skip a beat with just one sniff, and a feeling of being carefree and ethereal arises spontaneously.

  Looking at the seven-colored glaze pill in her hand, Bai Jingjing exclaimed: "Is this really the Seven-Colored Glaze Pill? It's so beautiful!"

  Zhao Duo couldn't help but curl his lip and say, "This is the miraculous Seven-Colored Glazed Dan. If it were only beautiful, then it wouldn't be so precious. You weren't able to recover from your loss of magic earlier, and if you relied on yourself to warm up, who knows how long it would take for you to re-cultivate your true body? Now, with just one Seven-Colored Glazed Dan, you can warm up your heart and spirit, and re-cultivating your true body won't be a problem."

  Although she had heard Zhao Zhuo describe the wonders of the Seven-Colored Glazed Dan before, Bai Jingjing still couldn't believe it now. However, looking at Zhao Zhuo's sincere and solemn expression, coupled with her own experience of the complexity and profundity of the Seven-Colored Glazed Dan's dan jue, she thought that no matter what, the Seven-Colored Glazed Dan was a high-grade spiritual dan after all, maybe it really did have the wonders that Zhao Zhuo said.

  Hey, brothers, have you collected it? It's already 70-80 chapters, should collect it now, need everyone's support!
