Walking on the path, there are "walls" made of dense shrubs and grass on both sides. The towering giant trees block out the sun, and the light is very dim, giving people a feeling of depression.

After walking for a while, I finally saw a bright light, stepped out of the trail, and suddenly saw the light.

At first glance, there are still many trees here, but relatively speaking, they are much sparser than before, and the distance between trees is also very large. Insects and birds come and sing, and the surroundings also feel very natural, which makes people feel more comfortable. People have a down-to-earth feeling of returning to the countryside.

In the center here is a flat land, on which several courtyard-like wooden houses are built. The area seems to be quite large. The outside of the house is randomly surrounded by blue-gray fences, which are covered with disorganized moss.

Outside the fence, the weeds grow very vigorously, and wild flowers are everywhere, but they are not cluttered and not high, as if someone has trimmed them regularly.

Compared with the outside, inside the fence is another world

Inside the courtyard are neatly placed many boxes of various colors for growing flowers and medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs grow extraordinarily vigorously. The earthy courtyard is neatly tidied up, and the smell of herbs can be smelled when the wind blows.

The wooden roof is also covered with moss, and the sunlight shines through the leaves among the trees and shines sparsely on the clean wooden steps protruding from the house, which looks very simple and elegant.

"Kang'er, come in!"

When Mu Fan was watching, he heard a voice from inside. The voice was loud and delicate. It sounded like an old man, but it didn't look hoarse or vicissitudes.

"Yes!" Nie Kang responded respectfully, and walked in with Mu Fan.

Without staying too long, Mu Fan followed Nie Kang, walked through the first courtyard, and came to the next courtyard. He carefully observed the strange environment around him. He felt that there seemed to be nothing special around him, but his heart Another kind of unstoppable caution and cramped.

"Grandpa, this is Mu Fan. My grandson brought him to see you!" Nie Kang was smiling, and his expression was respectful and kind, which was obviously different from how he treated outsiders.

"You are Mu Fan?!" Qiong Lie's tone was questioning, and her long and narrow eyes were full of scrutiny.

Mu Fan only saw an old man with white hair and a childlike face, and he couldn't tell the exact age, but his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Nie Kang's, with a little softness but not gloominess. But it can make people feel the smile in his heart, but the expression on his face is neither sullen nor happy, making people always unpredictable.

Mu Fan said politely: "I am Mu Fan, sir, hello!"

"Hmph! I'm not good! That old guy Yun Qing combined the power of everyone to drive me out and let me live on this deserted island. I can't get out forever! I'm not doing well!" Qiong Lie's expression suddenly changed. He became resentful, as if seeing Mu Fan reminded him of his early years.

This "Yunqing" is the name of the high priest of the Zhuanshui clan, but after Yunqing became the high priest, few people called him by his name directly. After these years of seniority, many people even forgot and ignored him. up to this point.

"Mr. Qiong Lie, if you hadn't snatched the Panlongmu back then, I'm afraid the High Priest and the others wouldn't work together to expel you. After so many years, don't you still worry about it?"

"If they can't keep the Panlong wood, it's because they have no ability. They won't use good things in their hands. It's better to put them in my place. However, after all these years, the family's inheritance is still unbroken. That old guy's luck." Qiong Lie looked haughty, and when he mentioned the inheritance, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes became hot when he stared at Mu Fan, "Come here!"

Mu Fan was unmoved, he didn't know what this strange old man would do, so it was better to stay still.

"If I tell you to come over, come here! I won't eat you!" Qiong Lie shouted loudly, seeing that Mu Fan didn't move, she was a little annoyed.

Nie Kang explained with a smile: "Grandpa has such a personality, don't worry, grandpa has no malicious intentions, he just wants to see you."

While hesitating, his arm was suddenly pulled away.

There was no time to react, and suddenly, Mu Fan felt a wave of pure water energy passing by, the speed was almost unfathomable.

"Sure enough! Hundred-day baby! It's still a combination of water and wood!" Qiong Lie glared at Mu Fan, "Hmph! That guy Yunqing is really lucky!"

Mu Fan didn't care about Qiong Lie's reaction. Although he felt that Qiong Lie's temper was hot, his behavior was weird, and he seemed to have no rules, but he shouldn't be a vicious person after all. After all, smart bad guys don't show bad behavior on their faces. .

What's more, Qiong Lie's purpose of this trip has not yet been achieved, so Mu Fan feels that at least Qiong Lie will not harm him now, and Mu Fan feels very calm at this time.

"I asked you to come here today for no other reason. I am now refining a elixir. I call it Jiuzhuan Longxiwan. The steps to refining this elixir are extremely complicated. It takes nine big steps in total, divided into nine turns. Every turn, the potency of the medicine will be more than doubled.

It's just that although I have refined to the ninth turn, I still can't form it. I have found the reason, which is the lack of pure wood-type aura, but most of the guys in the clan are water-type, even myself. I thought that the cooperation of the Divine Tree and the Spirit Spring could solve this problem, but it seems that I have oversimplified the problem. Fortunately, you are here, and your water-wood dual-element aura can just overcome this. "

Mu Fan listened quietly to Qiong Lie's narration, and shook his head slightly, expressing that he didn't know what to do.

"Don't stand still, come here, I will teach you how to control spiritual power first!" Qiong Lie ordered.

Mu Fan was not allowed to refute the whole process, and Qiong Lie had almost made a decision for Mu Fan.

Following behind the old man, he walked into a room, but there was another mystery in the room. It turned out that there was a secret door leading to the ground.

Seeing Mu Fan's curious and doubtful expression, Qiong Lie was quite disdainful. Seeing Mu Fan was like seeing an old adobe who had never seen the world: "Hey~, the underground of this small island is a natural extinct volcano, and it is usually used for alchemy. It’s all about making fire on the spot, attracting ground fire to make pills, but I’m telling you that you don’t understand, just follow my instructions later, remember, don’t mess with things!”

Mu Fan suddenly realized that everything here is amazing, and sighed secretly in his heart, if Qiong Lie hadn't left the tribe, the tribe would probably be stronger than it is now.

"Don't worry, if you help me refine the Ambergris Pill, maybe I can let you see the Panlongmu." Qiong Lie seemed to insert a sentence at random, but it caught Mu Fan's attention.

Mu Fan's eyes lit up, but then there was a gleam of light in his eyes. Sure enough, Jiang was still hot, and the thoughts in his heart did not escape Qiong Lie's eyes.

I have to say that Qiong Lie is really shrewd, and he plays psychological tactics better. It seems that he has figured it out. He knows that Mu Fan's intention is Panlongmu, so he deliberately released this smoke bomb, just to want Mu Fan to do things for him honestly.

"Don't be too happy! This is not an easy thing. You don't just do it as a child. Before that, you have to learn how to control the aura. I don't want me to work so hard to refine it to the ninth rank. You ruined a pot of good medicine in your hands!" Qiong Lie said coldly, her eyes were wide open, her eyebrows were erected, and her words were full of threats.

Mu Fan was noncommittal, he had never been in contact with refining medicine, and he had prepared some simple liquid medicine before, but compared with Qiong Lie, it was nothing compared to Qiong Lie.

Qiong Lie had prepared some small alchemy furnaces in advance, and asked Mu Fan to learn to refine some low-level alchemy liquids first, and try to condense these alchemy liquids into shapes. If he is proficient in this, he will try his Nine Revolution Ambergris pills.

It has to be said that Mu Fan is very talented in this area.

According to Qiong Lie's guidance, Mu Fan used spiritual power as a guide to carefully guide the underground fire into the pill furnace.

Because Mu Fan had high requirements on himself in the past, the proportion of medicines was always very precise, and his control of spiritual power was also very delicate and in place, so the operation was quite handy.

Even though he was not familiar with the alchemy furnace at the beginning, he quickly changed from being cautious at the beginning to a steady flow. Mu Fan gradually increased the heat. Although he failed a few times during this period, he quickly refined some. Dan liquid.

After that, it is time to condense the pill liquid into pills.

Since the refining of elixir uses materials that contain special potency or relatively high energy, sometimes it is more likely to use medicinal materials that have conflicting properties. Refining elixir is still relatively easy, but the most difficult step is the condensing of the elixir. .

If it is said that the test of refining pill liquid is a person's experience, then what depends on a person's talent, spiritual power and control over the pill fire is the test of refining pill liquid, and the process of refining pill liquid is very dangerous. Explosion is a trivial matter, and it will not be worth the loss if it affects people.

...

Seeing the pill exuding metallic luster in his hand, which still had residual heat in his hand, Mu Fan smiled: "Is this okay?"

Qiong Lie was watching Mu Fan's refining process the whole time. Although he had told Mu Fan about the things to pay attention to in advance, and reminded him from time to time, it was true that Mu Fan operated the whole process alone.

You know, as far as Qiong Lie knows, although Mu Fan is refining low-level pills, there are only a handful of people who can condense them into pills in such a short period of time, and they are all masters of the past. It took nearly a week (ten days) to congeal the pill for the first time that year.

Originally, Qiong Lie didn't expect Mu Fan to be able to help much, but he was stuck here in alchemy, so he became a dead horse doctor, and he also wanted to see Mu Fan's talent by refining low-level pills.

And thinking of this, a gleam of excitement flashed in Qiong Lie's eyes, this Mu Fan is a man who can be made, if he can be accepted as an apprentice, maybe he can accomplish what he has never done.

Qiong Lie's face softened in an instant, and he looked at and looked at the elixir that Mu Fan had just condensed: "Hehe, not bad, being able to condense the pill in such a short period of time proves that you are also a man who can be made, if you are willing Take me as your teacher, I am willing to give you all my abilities without reservation."

Qiong Lie has a fiery temper, is quick to speak, and doesn't like to hide anything, so seeing that Mu Fan is a talented person, he immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Sir, I appreciate your kindness, but the journey of alchemy is not easy. I'm not qualified enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, and I will disappoint your kindness."

"Don't rush to refuse. With your aptitude, if you say you are stupid, then there is no one in this world who can refine medicine. Besides, I can tell you that my ability is not as simple as being able to refine medicine!"

"Thank you for your kindness. I know that Mr. has a lot of skills, but to be honest, I am more yearning for medicine. Pills are good, but they are not as straightforward as curing diseases and saving lives. Grandpa, let's talk about the business first. Let's try it out. Congeal the imperial dragon saliva into a pill."

Qiong Lie curled her lips, turned around and walked towards a strange pill furnace without any nonsense.

This alchemy furnace looks like a pagoda, with an umbrella-like cover on the top, with complex patterns attached to it, and a base made of several toads, which looks quite strange.

It is divided into several sections in the middle. Judging from the shape of the forging on the outside, there are traces of splicing. It seems to be divided into seven sections. The structure, I don't know how complicated it is.

Qiong Lie saw Mu Fan looking at this alchemy furnace, and smiled proudly: "This alchemy furnace is called Qiyang Zijin Furnace, and it has seven layers. Each layer is divided into seven sub-layers. Its role in alchemy They are different, of course, the value of this treasure furnace is not limited to alchemy, if you are willing to worship me as a teacher, we can slowly discuss its function in the future."

Mu Fan smiled, didn't speak, just cast his eyes on the pill liquid in the furnace.

In the elixir, besides the dragon saliva, there should be many precious medicinal materials, and after nine rounds of refining, the medicinal power is not doubled or tripled at all.

Being so close, Mu Fan could still feel the fiery and violent medicinal power in the pill furnace even though there was a pill furnace separating it.

...

Qiong Lie didn't talk nonsense, and after explaining Mu Fan's precautions, he began to activate the medicine.

I saw that the transparent medicinal liquid gradually turned milky white under the urging of the firepower, and the calm medicinal liquid in the furnace seemed to become manic, churning non-stop.

Under Qiong Lie's guidance, the medicinal liquid seemed to be in a state of aggregation, but the medicinal power was obviously very violent, and the repelling power of different medicinal properties was very strong, and it still couldn't make a pill.

Slowly, beads of sweat filled Qiong Lie's forehead. The process of congealing the pill not only consumes spiritual power, but also consumes the mind.

...

"Quick! It's now!" Qiong Lie shouted, as if he had found the best time.

Mu Fan received the signal, and immediately injected his own pure wood-type spiritual essence according to the prior request, and helped Qiong Lie suppress the violent medicinal properties, forcing the liquid to become a pill.

Miraculously, as Qiong Lie said, the reason why the process of congealing the pill was unsuccessful was because of the lack of pure wood-type aura.

Therefore, when Mu Fan injected the spiritual energy, the tumbling and noisy medicinal liquid seemed to become docile immediately, and the cutting of the wood-type spiritual energy seemed to neutralize the medicinal properties of the medicinal liquid, and the medicinal power was converging!

Qiong Lie was the first to discover this, and Mu Fan's help relieved his pressure, so when he found that the pill had a tendency to solidify, he immediately accelerated the speed of control.

Slowly, the pill liquid gradually decreased and showed a tendency to shrink. Qiong Lie knew that this was a sign that the pill was about to condense!

Finally, with the joint efforts of the two, something gratifying happened.

A milky white elixir shining like silver-white metal took shape, and the so-called Jiuzhuan Longxiwan Pill was completed!
