An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"Qixin Dan?" Li Danxin was stunned for a moment. He kept mumbling these three words, and closed his eyes. He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrests of the chair, as if he was searching for a very far-reaching and vague paragraph. Clear memory.

"I've heard of it." Li Dan thought for a long time and finally spoke, but his face looked a little gloomy.

Xu Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect that the mystery that troubled him could be solved. He was worthy of being Shaoshang's number one alchemist, and he was indeed well-informed.

"I have a son who likes to collect anecdotes related to alchemy. He once told me about the Qixin Dan." Li Danxin finished speaking slowly, and his expression became very sad.

"Where is he now?" Xu Fu asked hurriedly, not to mention the expectation in his heart.

"He... is dead." Li Danxin's tone was frighteningly calm, and he stared blankly outside the room, his eyes a little blurry.

After Xu Fu was surprised, he felt extremely guilty. He didn't expect that his master had experienced the suffering of "a white-haired person giving a black-haired person", and now it was cruel to ask him to bring up the old thing again.

The two were silent for a moment, and Li Danxin recounted an old story.

It turns out that Li Danxin's son is named Li Feihong, and he is an alchemy genius who became famous at a young age. Thirty years ago, Li Danxin and his son rescued a young man who was bitten by a wild beast while collecting herbs in the mountains. The young man was an orphan and helpless, but he had excellent qualifications, so Li Danxin accepted him as his disciple. The young man was modest and prudent, diligent and eager to learn, and within ten years he had become a sixth-grade alchemist. At that time, he and Li Feihong were called the "peerless twins" in the alchemy world. Both of them learned alchemy from Li Danxin, got along day and night, and felt like brothers. Later, Li Feihong got married and soon had a child. When the child was about to be born, the man gave Li Feihong a pill, saying it could protect the fetus and give birth smoothly. Li Feihong did not doubt that he was there and persuaded his wife to take it. I found out that I had premature labor and hemorrhage that night and died in childbirth. Li Feihong was heartbroken when he saw his wife's tragic death. When he was in a daze, he was plotted by the man and died unexpectedly. At this time, at the critical moment of Li Danxin's retreat, the man broke in and informed Li Danxin of the tragic death of Li Feihong and his wife, causing him to be in chaos, being backfired by spiritual power, and his muscles and veins were completely destroyed. In the end, the man's true colors were revealed, he stole Li Danxin's spiritual fire and elixir, and disappeared. When Li Danxin arrived at the residence of his son and daughter-in-law, he saw his son and daughter-in-law who died tragically. He vaguely sensed that the fetus in his daughter-in-law's belly still had a weak heartbeat, so he performed a caesarean section and took out the child. At this time, the child was already dying. After that, although he was fortunate enough to meet a famous doctor and save the baby's life, he suffered from congenital deficiencies, so Li Danxin named the baby "Wuji", hoping for his speedy recovery.

After listening to Li Danxin's story, Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that his life experience was hard enough, but he didn't expect that the great alchemist who seemed to have no worries about food and clothing and was aloof also had such a miserable past.

"Why do you need the Body Strengthening Pill to treat senior sister's illness?" Xu Fu wondered. There are only four levels of Body Strengthening Pill. With Li Danxin's ability, it is not impossible to find a higher level elixir.

"Wuji was born with deficiencies, his body was weak, and his deficiency could not be replenished. However, spiritual elixirs often need to be refined with spiritual objects. The medicinal power contained in the spiritual objects was too overbearing. Wuji's body could not bear it at all, and the elixirs below the third grade could not To cure this congenital disease, we have to rely on this body-building pill that does not contain spiritual substances." Li Danxin replied.

"So that's it, then no one knows about the Qixin Pill anymore?" Xu Fu asked. He was still a little unwilling to give up when such a basin of cold water was poured on his head just after his hopes were ignited.

"Why do you keep asking about Qixin Dan? Where did you know about Qixin Dan?" Li Danxin turned around and looked at Xu Fu, puzzled.

"To be honest with Master, I once took a Qixin Pill." Xu Fu finally decided to tell Li Danxin the biggest secret. Once a teacher, he will always be a father. If the master doesn't believe it, then I'm afraid there will be no more in this world. There is no one trustworthy anymore.

"Is there really such a pill in this world?" Li Danxin's expression changed drastically. He originally thought that what his son had collected were just legends, but he didn't expect that the man in front of him said that he had taken this legendary pill.

"I am not afraid of fire after taking Qixin Dan." Xu Fu answered honestly.

"Then how do you know that what you are taking is Qixin Dan?"

"After I took it, I had a dream. In the dream, someone made the Qixin Dan. I saw that it looked similar, so I guessed that the one I had taken was the same one." Xu Fu also told Li Danxin about the appearance of the Qixin Dan.

"I see." Li Danxin thought about his previous doubts again, and everything seemed to make sense.

"The seven-color flowing light on Qixin Dan is Danxia. Danxia is only found in elixirs above the ninth grade. This seven-color Danxia..." Li Danxin fell into deep thought as he spoke.

"There are grades above the ninth grade?" Xu Fu said with some surprise. In his eyes, the ninth grade is the end no matter where it is.

"Of course there are, but they are all in legends. In ancient times, spiritual energy was strong and the practice of cultivating immortals was prevalent. Most people who achieved Taoism had the ability to refine alchemy. That was the heyday of alchemy!" Li Danxin said in his heart! Full of longing, when he looked at Xu Fu again, his eyes became a little fanatical, "If it is true as you said, then this Qixin Pill must not be in the mortal world."

"What is that?" Xu Fu asked hurriedly.

"Elixir!" Li Dan paused and said decisively.

"Immortal... pill?" Xu Fu felt as if there was a thunder in his ears and his head was buzzing.

"Are there really gods in this world?" Xu Fu murmured, his voice as loud as a mosquito.

"Originally I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but now that you have taken the elixir, people have no choice but to believe it." Li Danxin said lightly.

"Then if I take the elixir, will I become a god?" Xu Fu's mind was empty and he didn't know why he asked this question.

"Listen carefully, if it is really an elixir, then you will be in big trouble!" Li Danxin frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Big trouble?" Xu Fu was stunned.

"That's right, it's a big trouble!" Li Danxin said helplessly: "As I said just now, Wuji's body is weak and he can't stand the power of spiritual medicine, and you are the same."

"Isn't my body very weak?" Xu Fu has been stronger than his peers since he was a child, and his current skinny appearance is also the result of starvation after herding cattle at Huang Youcai's family.

"Although you are not weak, the power of this elixir is many times more powerful than the spiritual elixir." Li Dan said seriously: "You forcibly refined the body-building elixir before, which triggered the release of the medicine. At this time, your meridian energy Haishang can bear it, which will naturally be of great benefit, but if the medicine is too powerful and he cannot bear it..." Li Danxin stopped at this point and did not continue.

"What will happen?" Xu Fu swallowed and asked cautiously: "Will he die?"

Li Danxin did not speak, but nodded slightly.

After a long time, Li Danxin spoke again: "Refining high-grade elixirs requires advanced cultivation, or taking complementary spiritual objects to neutralize the potency. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. In the least, the whole body's energy will be exhausted, and the muscles and veins will be exhausted." Wasted, severe cases... the body explodes and dies, but the soul is still alive in the sky."

Hearing Li Danxin say this, Xu Fu felt a chill on his back. The highest level of Kung Fu in the world today is only the ninth level, and it is extremely rare. Xindan, just learning this technique is already as difficult as reaching heaven. If he was looking for spiritual objects to neutralize the power of the Qixin Dan, Xu Fu couldn't even think of anything that could neutralize the power of the "elixir" at this time. He was afraid that he would have to go to the fairy's medicine garden to find it.

"Master, there must be...there must be some other way! I can't die, I promise my grandma to live well!" Xu Fu's face became extremely ugly, and his breathing became rapid.

Seeing Xu Fu's anxious expression, Li Danxin hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't have to be so anxious. It's not like there's nothing you can do."

"What can I do?" Xu Fu seemed to be grasping at straws, with a burning gleam in his eyes.

Li Danxin looked at Xu Fu's young face and couldn't help but feel startled. She lamented in her heart that her apprentice had a hard life. Otherwise, with his talent and diligence, he would have made great achievements in alchemy.

"Although you accidentally swallowed the elixir, aren't you still alive and kicking now?" Li Danxin squeezed out a smile and said as gently as possible: "If an ordinary person had eaten a high-grade elixir, he would have exploded and died in a matter of seconds. Not only did you not die after taking it for several months, but you were also able to benefit from it, which shows that the power of Qixin Dan is released slowly, and you may have a chance to resist it."

"Then what should I do? Master, please tell me clearly." Xu Fu stood up and saluted respectfully. Today's conversation was full of ups and downs. This feeling of surviving a desperate situation is really indescribable.

"Sit down." Li Danxin waved his hand, "The Taoist Scriptures say: The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven's evolution is forty-nine, and one of them escapes. It means that no matter what situation a person is placed in, God will always leave something for him. A glimmer of hope. Now it seems that your body may be a glimmer of hope!"

"My body?" Xu Fu lowered his head and glanced at his skinny arms and jagged palms. Although he ate a lot after swallowing the Qixin Pill, he never gained weight. He didn't know how much he disliked this body before, but now Master Shi actually said that he survived because of this body, which made Xu Fu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Let me put it simply." Li Danxin's eyes were firm, and he suddenly felt a little like he had when he was young and solved difficult problems.

"Your body is like a teapot." Li Danxin pointed to the teapot on the table and said: "The medicinal power of this Qixin Dan is the water in the pot. If you only add more water without draining it, the teapot will burst. In this case, , what should you do?”

"Can I pour the water out?" Xu Fu said matter-of-factly.

"How to pour it? Where to pour it from?" Li Danxin asked, which immediately stopped Xu Fu.

"So, you have to study Dharma." Seeing that Xu Fu was speechless, Li Danxin replied directly without showing off.

"Spell?" This is the first time Xu Fu has heard of this.

"That's right, the technique is different from the martial arts. It uses the spiritual power in the body to activate the spiritual energy of the world. The extreme of the technique can move mountains and seas!" Li Dan said with determination: "When the power of the medicine breaks out, you must use the fastest speed. Consume your spiritual power, and as long as the spiritual power you consume catches up to the medicinal power released by the Qixin Dan, your life will be safe."

"I understand." Xu Fu nodded, as long as there was still a way to survive, he had hope.

"However, practicing high-grade magic is something you can only do once and for all. It's not urgent. You must do something else first." Li Dan said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Xu Fu asked hurriedly.

Li Danxin didn't say anything, but picked up the white porcelain teapot on the table and knocked it on the corner of the table. The teapot shattered with the sound, and a few more pieces of porcelain were broken on the ground.

"This is..." Xu Fu looked at the master's move and was about to ask a question, but immediately understood the master's intention.

"If I had an iron kettle in my hand, would it break so easily?"

"Master asked me to temper the meridians and Qi sea to make them as good as an iron kettle!"

"I'm afraid the iron pot is not even enough." Li Danxin smiled bitterly, his eyes suddenly became distant, and he murmured: "This is an elixir!"

"But how to temper the meridian qi sea?" Xu Fu scratched his head. He usually only read some books on alchemy, and it can be said that he was at a loss at this time.

"Start from this." Li Danxin took out a white jade bottle, stood up, walked to Xu Fu, and handed it to him solemnly, "To temper the meridians and expand the sea of ​​qi, in addition to practicing the exercises, you also need to take the elixir. This elixir is extremely effective. Come on, now it seems that this body strengthening elixir is perfect for you."

Xu Fu took the jade bottle with both hands, feeling a little nervous and expectant in his heart. This was the first time he saw the elixir, and it was the elixir he refined himself.

"One more thing, before you learn high-grade spells, remember not to consume too much spiritual power. All pills release their power step by step. The higher the grade, the slower the potency will be. If you have used up all the power before, Refining the elixir with spiritual power activates the Qixin Dan to release its medicinal power, which then elevates the elixir to a higher level and improves the cultivation level." Li Danxin slowly explained, explaining all the previous doubts.

"I've written it down." Xu Fu responded honestly, admiring Li Danxin to the extreme. He was indeed a master of alchemy who was almost promoted to the seventh level, but he could speak fluently about a legendary elixir.

"To be honest, my teacher really didn't expect you to be able to master the Body Strengthening Pill so quickly. Although you are indeed very talented in elixir refining, after all, the time you got started is too short." Li Danxin looked at the young Xu Fu and said calmly: " I will leave Shaoshang Mall tomorrow, if you have any requests, I will never refuse if I can do it."

"Where is master going? When will he be back?" Xu Fu panicked when he heard that master was leaving.

"There is no such thing as a banquet in the world that lasts forever." Li Danxin saw Xu Fu's nervousness and smiled lightly: "Wu Ji has been weak and weak due to this disease and has not left home for several years. At this time, his condition is very good and he can't wait for a moment. No, I have already agreed to go out for a walk when you wake up. As for where to go, it depends on her mood."

When Li Danxin talked about her granddaughter, a doting smile appeared on her face.

"Although I don't want to abandon you just like this, I have tempered the Qi Sea Meridians, and I think that Master's broken body can't help. From now on, this Li Mansion is yours. I have already taken care of the land deed and money. Even if it is Thank you for refining elixir for Wuji."

"Master, you don't have to be polite. You and senior sister treated me very well. It's too late for me to repay your kindness, so there's no need to thank you." Xu Fu declined hurriedly.

"My teacher has been really harsh on you in the past few months. It's not an exaggeration to say that I am trying to encourage you. If you have any resentment, I don't blame you." Li Danxin sighed, thinking back to the previous three months, Xu Fu was indeed I had been forcing myself extremely hard, and now that the burden was gone, I felt a little more apologetic.

"Before, I had selfish motives as a teacher. I was worried that if I slowly train you, Wuji's body won't be able to survive that day, I really don't dare to delay!"

"What are you saying, Master? I am very grateful for Master's teachings. My grandma has said before that it is better to be like a cow when learning than to be like a monkey when using."

"What do you mean by acting like a monkey?" Li Danxin asked.

"I'm scratching my head!"

The two laughed together, and the atmosphere in the hall finally calmed down.

Li Danxin took another deep look at the young disciple in front of him. He felt relieved and let out a long sigh. He stood up and carefully removed the picture of a beauty dancing with a sword hanging in the middle of the hall, revealing a hidden grid. , an old wooden box with only one, unpretentious.
